'And it's not just that. What would happen if I, while being in the Qi Sea Realm, can use this and temper my Dao Heart to reach the level where I can access my Soul Essence while still in the Qi Sea Realm?'
Xiao had an interested expression on his face, as he really wanted to know what would happen then.
'I don't think there would be that much of a side effect from this, as it was stated in the book that a cultivator has to create their Mental Space first, then temper their Dao Heart to gain access to Soul Essence.'
Xiao thought with a serious expression.
'But regardless, whatever happens, I will deal with it. And even if things take a wrong turn, I will ask my aunt for help. With her powerful cultivation, I won't die outright.'
The reason he was willing to take such a risk and even put his life in danger by trying such a reckless thing was because of his instinct. Xiao was not going to lie. He had always trusted and believed in his instinct. He had been saved and had gained major benefits and victories in his life because of it. It might sound stupid and out of character for a person like him,
but it was what it was. Because he could feel it, and his instinct was telling him that he would benefit greatly by doing it. So Xiao was just going to do it. Because in many major decisions of his life, Xiao always trusted his instinct and went with the flow.
Making up his mind, Xiao stopped thinking about it and looked at the information about the next realm that came after the Spiritual Realm, which was the Transcending Mortality Realm. Then, with a calm expression, he started reading the information about it.
Time began to pass by, and after some time, almost ten minutes later, Xiao put down the book with a frowning expression. The good news was that he had gotten information about the Transcending Mortality Realm and how to reach it. But the bad news was that when he tried to read the information about the next cultivation realm.
he found the information blurry and distorted. At the same time, a rune activated on the book, and just like the last time, a similar message appeared in his mind, telling him that he would go mad reading information that was beyond his life order and that his cultivation was insufficient to pry into such knowledge.
Xiao sighed slightly.
'Ahh, it happened again. It was good that there was this kind of protective measure to prevent things like this from happening. No worries. It's already a blessing that I am fine. Dammit, I almost stepped into the same kind of danger twice. Ahh, curse it.'
After cursing his luck for a while, Xiao ignored those things and focused on what he had gained: the information about how to reach the Transcending Mortality Realm, along with how to advance and progress in this realm. But there was one thing that he found strange and surprising at the same time.
'I really didn't expect that the Transcending Mortality Realm didn't have any minor stages at all. Instead, after breaking through into this realm, a cultivator has to spend some time in this realm to stabilize their foundation and Dao Heart before attempting to break through into the next realm.'
To say that Xiao was not surprised at all wouldn't be true. Instead, he had expected this realm to have at least a few minor stages just like the previous ones. But it did not have any.
'Well, it's a good thing. I don't have to spend my time crossing through its minor stages in the future. Instead, after stabilizing my foundation, I can just ascend into the next realm.'
Because of this, when he tried to read the information about the next realm, he was warned by the book that he was prying into information beyond his level and understanding, and Xiao was thankful that it did. Otherwise, it would have been a complete disaster for him.
Xiao stopped thinking about such things as he focused on the information about how to break through into the Transcending Mortality Realm.
According to this book, after reaching the Third Ring of the Spiritual Realm, to ascend into the Transcending Mortality Realm, a cultivator had to use both Qi and Soul Essence to open 1,690 acupoints in the body. After that, they had to form a connection between the Dantian, Mental Space, and acupoints,
linking them all together and bringing them into harmony. By doing that, a cultivator would undergo a qualitative change and would ascend into the Transcending Mortality Realm. This was the process of breaking through into the Transcending Mortality Realm.
'Using Qi and Soul Essence to open acupoints in my body, huh? And after that, link all of those things along with the Mental Space and Dantian to form a connection between them and bring them into harmony? Well, I somewhat understand what this means. This was not that much of a complicated process at all. And yeah, this realm doesn't have any minor stages at all, so after following all of those processes to break through into the Transcending Mortality Realm, or becoming a Demigod,'
Xiao thought.
'I don't have to do anything complicated at all. Instead, after stabilizing in this realm, I can focus on stabilizing my foundation and then prepare to break through into the next realm.'
From the information, Xiao could guess that doing such a thing would not be easy. Otherwise, if it were, then it wouldn't take cultivators many years as Demigods to ascend into the next realm. They could just speedrun this realm.
'Also, the thing related to opening acupoints. Does that mean that I can open that kind of acupoints instead of the normal ones?'
Xiao didn't know if this was possible or not, as he had the inspiration and knowledge to try creating some extremely unique and different types of acupoints instead of the normal ones. But he didn't know if doing such a thing would backfire on him instead of being beneficial.
'Well, no need to be that worried or disappointed about it. I can use a clone to test that out. If it fails, then it's not that big of a deal. But if it succeeds, then well... I'd like to see who would stand in my way.'
