Confused Because It's Easy

They ate the meat until 10 p.m.

And the meat was completely gone. Sofia and Emma didn't eat that much since their stomachs had limits and they had already eaten dinner—but Oliver finished the rest by himself.

With his cultivation advancing, he could eat more, and his body genuinely seemed to need it.

After the meal, he went straight to his room, sat on his bed, and began meditating—eager to try understanding his new scripture.

With his Will Realm having reached the Earth Master level, his mind had become far more expansive.

He could now think about many different things at once, allowing him to comprehend Black Hole and Ordo of Life simultaneously, even though they were scriptures of completely different power concepts.

"Hmm, doesn't seem that difficult!"

Oliver opened his eyes after meditating for just a few minutes.

It was because he had already figured out some of the secrets of Ordo of Life.

He checked his stats, and sure enough, the data for Ordo of Life had increased.

**(Scripture:

Ordo of Life (0.07/10%) +0.07)**

'Is it because my Will Realm increased? No, that can't be it. After all, this is my second scripture and it's based on a power concept that's completely different from my main one. Without talent, even understanding a small part should still be hard—even with a higher Will Realm,' he thought.

Unsure of what was happening, he tried meditating again.

Even while splitting his focus, the results were beyond his expectations.

He encountered no obstacles at all as he tried to comprehend Ordo of Life.

Little by little, his understanding of the scripture kept growing.

Although it wasn't as fast as when he had an enlightenment, it was still incredibly fast by Cultivator standards—because it never stopped.

Oliver originally thought he would cultivate briefly, then go to Chaotic World to test his luck and hopefully gain another enlightenment for his void power. But with his progress going this smoothly, there was no way he'd do that.

He even began focusing entirely on Ordo of Life, setting aside Black Hole and its techniques for now.

Ordo of Life might not boost his cultivation unless his understanding of it surpassed Black Hole. Still, it would be immensely helpful if he could grasp it.

After who knows how many hours—maybe over three—he opened his eyes again.

- Ordo of Life (1/10%) +0.93

'I did it!'

Oliver couldn't be more amazed at himself.

He had finally comprehended Ordo of Life to 1%. That meant he had reached the First Stage of the Spiritual Master Realm for this scripture.

Of course, one didn't have two separate cultivations, so he didn't need extra Spiritual Energy for Ordo of Life.

At that moment, when it reached 1%, something new happened in his body.

First, the Spiritual Energy in his Spiritual Space started to have affinity with the Life element, able to convert directly into Life or Void energy.

That wasn't unusual. Anyone who mastered a new scripture could convert their Spiritual Energy into the corresponding power.

However, Life power had a special uniqueness.

When his understanding reached 1%, something new formed inside his body.

It resembled the Spiritual Space, but it had a far greater energy capacity and began absorbing Spiritual Energy around him at a rapid rate from the moment it appeared.

According to his master, it was called a Second Spiritual Space, something possessed by Cultivators who followed certain paths—one of which was the Life path.

Even at the First Stage, its energy capacity was twice that of his original Spiritual Space as a Third Stage Cultivator—reaching a total of 1,000 Spiritual Energy.

However, the Second Spiritual Space wasn't the same as the original.

Energy stored in the Second Spiritual Space couldn't be released directly for attacks.

Though it shared the name, its structure was fundamentally different.

The energy had to first be transferred to the Original Spiritual Space before it could be used to attack. That's why it was called reserve energy.

And no matter what, it would always be just a Spiritual Space—only a storage area for energy. Its expansion with realm progression only made it wider.

The original Spiritual Space was different; it evolved with realm advancement.

There was actually a way to use energy from the Second Spiritual Space—by detonating it, turning oneself into a bomb.

Unless someone was insane, of course, no one would use that trick.

Oliver felt incredibly comfortable after mastering this new power.

He looked at his palm, which now emitted a green glow.

Still, he was a little confused as to how he was able to comprehend this power so easily—to the 1% level on the very first day.

'Unless I'm just that talented... talented enough that even without a natural affinity for a particular power, I can still master various kinds of power easily?'

That was the only speculation he could think of.

He didn't want to overestimate himself, but what else could explain why he grasped the Life power so quickly, if not extraordinary talent?

'Maybe I should try another scripture to find out,' he thought.

However, if he wanted to test this, he couldn't just pick some random scripture from the internet.

Those were easier to understand but also weak—low-level scriptures.

Studying one of those would be no different than staining his cultivation path.

There was a limit to how many powers the body could contain. That's why every new power he added had to be the best of its kind.

'I don't think I should tell Master about this,' he thought.

This was an anomaly. His rapid progress in void power could still be handled calmly by Evylin, even if she was also delighted.

But if she knew how easily he advanced in Life power, who knew—she might start looking at him differently.

Tired of thinking, Oliver then stood and summoned his portal.

"Let's see if those lions are still there," he said before stepping into the portal.

With his current peak condition, he naturally had no fear of them anymore.
