Chapter 52 The Beings Of Underworld (1)
Cyrus was literally sky walking as he stepped over one ice block to another, and all those skeletons beneath could do nothing but watch helplessly.
Rita was mesmerized by the feeling of flying, especially when she was carried by someone she loved, and an entire army wanted to kill them. This feeling was exhilarating.
She was also paying close attention to Cyrus's movement, but no matter how she looked at it, it looked so simple, yet she could feel it wasn't simple at all, at least not for her.
Cyrus chuckled, seeing Rita's amazed face, and said, "When you reach the Foundation Building Realm, I'll teach you Qi control, and you'll be able to master this small trick in no time. If I have a Qi weapon, I can even use Qi control to fly on it. Flying on a weapon is the most command means of travel in the cultivation world, especially for those who still yet to learn how to fly."
Rita was disbelieving by this revelation and couldn't help but asked in ecstasy, "I-I can fly?"
"Heh, a Soul Awareness Realm Cultivator can naturally fly. You better work hard." Cyrus snickered while still agilely stepping over ice cubes and moving away from the skeleton army.
However, it was impossible to get rid of them because Rita was still enveloped in Gia's Blessing, and all those skeletons seemed to go mad as they chased after them.
Cyrus noticed this and frowned while Rita's eyes shimmered like stars after Cyrus revealed about flying. She was now even more eager to become stronger, and her goal was the Soul Awareness Realm for the time being.
"Start cultivating and absorb this remaining spell effect. It is very beneficial to you, and those skeletons are seemed to be attractive to us because of it as well. As long as you absorb this spell, I will be able to hide by casting another golden-grade soul spell.
"Here are the chants of Foundation Building Realm of Devil's Spouse Technique. Just relax and don't worry about anything else. You should be able to enter a meditative state as long as you put your mind at complete ease."
Cyrus sternly stated, snapping Rita out of her fantasy, and her expression became solemn when she heard about the reason why those undead were madly chasing after them.
She gravely nodded and listened to Cyrus's attentiveness as he recited the foundation-building realm chats of the devil spouse technique. After remembering them by heart, she didn't waste time and tried to enter a cultivation state.
She could also feel her breakthrough was near, and if she tried, she could succeed, and for some reason, her lust was completely in check. She mused it might be because of this golden barrier around her, and she wondered just what kind of spell Cyrus had used.
Cyrus observed Rita until she fell into a cultivation state, and he could feel her body starting to turn cold as Yin Qi was circulating in her body and the golden barrier around her also churned.
'She should be able to create Peerless Foundation and open the Complete Prime Dantian with this much lingering Ascension Qi.' Cyrus mused.
The process of Foundation Building was the deciding factor of someone's future, and the higher-level technique one used to create a foundation, the higher their future prospects.
The Foundation Building was the process of opening Prime Dantian with Qi. Different types of Qi will have different effects on the Prime Dantian, and it's directly related to how much Qi they will be able to store in their Prime Dantian.
That's why the foundations were divided into five stages, Flawed, Incomplete, Complete, Perfect, and Peerless.
A cultivator with Flawed Foundation can open 20% of their Dantian, Incomplete 45%, Complete 85%, Perfect 90%, and Peerless 95%. Each percentage represents different units of Qi one able to store in their Dantian, and that's where the difference in cultivation technique truly started to show.
Rita, for example, will be able to go even beyond 95% with a Divine Grade Cultivation Technique. But it all depends on herself.
But Cyrus was sure that she would be able to achieve 96% or even 97% with the presence of the Gia's Blessing Spell on her, and she would have 499 Units of Yin Qi at that time which was the full capacity of a foundation building realm Dantian.
"Cyrus, I-I also wanted to fly!" Eve who was silent this whole time and seemed to listen to their conversation attentively, finally spoke her mind.
Cyrus was startled momentarily and then gently smiled as he transmitted, "Alright, I teach wind-type spells, so you can play with them as much as you want. But you need to learn Yin and Yang essence first. Only then will you be able to turn Yin and Yang into anything!"
"Is it hard?" She asked with uncertainty.
Cyrus thought momentarily before he replied, "It is impossible, actually. Unless you are a God, just learning about Yin or Yang alone would take a mortal forever, not to mention both of them. Even then, they might never succeed.
"Yin and Yang are two of the supreme concepts, and our universe also evolved around them. That's why we can use them to create anything as long as we have true mastery over them.
"Creating Ice from Yin is not considered creation because Ice is the minor branch of Yin to begin, just like Fire is the minor branch of Yang. Similarly, if you have Destruction Qi, you can use Fire and Wind on a whim."
Cyrus was full of emotions when he elaborated to Eve. He was also given such an example once a very, very long time ago…
"Then it will take me forever!" Eve instantly retorted in dissatisfaction.
The nostalgia in his eyes vanished as he chuckled, "Silly girl, you should be able to grasp it very easily because of our physiques. Any Unique Physique is a treasure trove, especially Divine Grade Physiques.
"They hide the true essence of their Unique Trail, and I do not doubt that our Primordial Origin Grade Physiques aren't any better. Don't you see I can use the even Healing Spell of Holy Light Element Qi, not to mention the Ice Qi like it's my innate element?
"Although I admit I had experience, I can tell there is no resistance whatsoever, or it would've taken an enormous toll on a mortal body to use another element's spell, especially Holy Light Element's Ascension Grade Spell.
"But here I am, only fatigued, not gravely injured or unconscious. It has to our Unique Physiques. So, you will be able to learn everything and fast because you are even more special than me with our sword wisdom."
Cyrus was stating the facts, and he had no doubt that their physiques were capable of far more than just this, and he looked forward to exploring them more, especially Eve's existing state.
Eve's mood was greatly lifted when she heard Cyrus's assessment. Although she knew little about these unique physiques, she was excited to learn more. She was just like Rita, who wanted to fly in the sky freely.
However, Cyrus's expression suddenly wrapped as all the fine hair on his body stood as he felt death approaching.
"Fire Acceleration!" The next moment, black fire suddenly ignited under Cyrus's feet before creating a powerful blast.
He was instantly shot up at a terrifying speed, like an arrow.
Just after Cyrus's figure left his previous position, a ghostly blue streak suddenly flashed past that exact spot and vanished into the darkness.
"Ho? I missed?" The ragged cloaked holding a gray bone bow filled with strange symbols muttered in astonishment in its icy cold voice.
"Heh, No.390486339, I think your archery only amounts to this much. You can't even shoot down a living flea." The cloaked figure with an eerie voice mocked.
"No.32990232, don't be arrogant!" No.390486339 snorted in a threatening tone with a tingle of embarrassment.
Without waiting for another reply, he pointed its bow toward the golden flames as he could see a small white flame that was like a candle flame in front of the golden flames. Abruptly, the string automatically started to pull down, forming a perfect arc.
The next moment, the black symbols on the bow shimmered in blue light before three ghostly blue corporeal arrows started to materialize, which looked like they were made with blue smoke.
"Just watch how I punish that living flea who dare to covert the Holy Treasure!"
The arrows were now locked on the tiny white flame, and No.390486339 icily muttered, "Ghost Chasing Soul Arrows!"
Cyrus, who just barely blocked that sneak attack, was still somewhat disbelieving that he just felt the feeling of death.
"What just happened?" Eve was also bewildered.
"It would appear my theory about not only the humans being pulled into this dimension was not might be just a theory after all…."
Cyrus was abruptly stopped again because he felt that same incoming danger again, and this time, it was far stronger than before!
