Female Novel
Chapter 211
Gravis looked through the surroundings and smiled a little. Lots of loot was lying around. Cultivators at the Spirit Forming Realmalways kept their wealth in their Spirit Space, so what would happen if that cultivator died? Their Spirit Space would crumble, andall their belongings would fall out into the surroundings.
Of course, not all the loot was safe. The loot from the darkness cultivator, for example, had been completely decimated. He haddied inside Gravis' insane explosion, and all his belongings had already appeared in the surroundings when the explosion wasn'teven over yet. Like this, everything but his weapons had been obliterated.
Gravis gathered everything together and looked at his loot. "Some gold, lots of Energy Stones, some weapons, some pills..." henarrated as he inspected everything. After a while, Gravis found what he was looking for. Gravis' Spirit made a pill bottle fly up,and he looked at it more closely. "That's the pill that made the others breakthrough," he commented.
Sadly, this was the only one remaining. Sear had died due to Gravis' sneak attack, so he never had the chance to take out hispill. The other four had taken those pills, which made Sear's pill the last one remaining. Gravis smiled. "Let's see how good youare," he said and swallowed it.
WHOOOM!
As the pill fell to his stomach, it rapidly dissolved before it could even reach its goal. A mighty wave of Spirit broke out of the pill'sremains and directly shot at Gravis’ Spirit. Gravis didn't resist, and the pill's Spirit entered his mind.
BZZZZZ!
And like that, it was over. The lightning in his mind had destroyed the Spirit as soon as it touched it. This wasn't some kind ofdigestion or absorption. This was only pure destruction. Like this, the effects of the pill had been destroyed with nothing gained.
Gravis gritted his teeth. "First, the Heaven's Balance Cultivation Technique doesn't work anymore, and now this pill is alsouseless? Do | actually need to increase my Realm without outside resources?" he asked with frustration.
How did one increase their cultivation in the Spirit Forming Realm?
It was actually rather simple. The growth of the Energy had stopped and had become irrelevant, and the body's growth, just likebefore, could only be considered auxiliary. The increase of the Energy or body were both unimportant to the Realm. Only theincrease of the Spirit was relevant. So how does one increase their Spirit?
It was the same as the initial breakthrough to the Spirit Forming Realm. The Spirit wasn't able to increase just by itself, so itneeded support from outside, and this support was the Energy in the dantian. The Energy of the dantian had to be pushed intothe Spirit, which then transformed the Spirit slowly.novelbin
At some point, when the Spirit had been sufficiently nourished, the whole Spirit would condense into one small core. This wasthe Spirit Seed, and when that happened, one would have reached the Seed Stage. Like this, one only needed to push moreEnergy into their Spirit to increase their Realm.
Of course, there were outside resources that one could use to expedite this process. Some rare plants had some inherent Spiritin them, and when condensed into a pill, could release that Spirit into the user's body. Of course, those pills were expensive, butthat was irrelevant to Gravis because even those expensive pills were useless to him.
"The good comes with the bad, and the bad comes with the good," Gravis said with a sigh. "This inability to rely on outsideresources might seem bad at first, but | went through enough shit to see the positive in that."
If Gravis could rely on external resources to increase his Realm, he would go out to gain as much wealth as possible toexchange for those resources. All this wealth would have been used to increase his Spirit. Yet, what about his Energy and body?
Gravis was pretty sure that there were ways to further increase the Energy in the Spirit Forming Realm. Wasn't it the same withthe body after one reached the Energy Gathering Realm? Like this, Gravis could use his wealth to increase his Energy and body,further solidifying his battle-strength.
Gravis went through all the loot and got about 4,000 Energy Stones, an unimportant amount of gold, and some Spirit Weapons.“Hmm, | think | can sell those Spirit Weapons for an additional 6,000 Energy Stones. With this, | should have around 15,000Energy Stones. | wonder how much that's worth in the Core-Continent. | need to check!" Gravis said.
With that said, Gravis left in a random direction. He had no idea about the layout of the Core-Continent. He only knew that it wasa circle, nothing more. Where were the Sects? Where were the cities? He had no idea.
The open question in all this: How long would it take Gravis to increase his Realm without outside help?
Gravis had already infused a lot of lightning into his Spirit, which gave him the answer. In order to reach the Seed-Stage, hewould need around a full year. In Gravis' mind, this was insanely slow, but for others, this was insanely fast.
Normal people would need, at least, ten years without outside help, and only if they already had a powerful enough will. DidGravis need less Energy, or lightning in his case, to increase his Realm? Definitely not. In fact, the opposite was true. He neededan insane amount of lightning to increase his Spirit. So, how come he would reach the Seed Stage that much faster?
The reason for that was that therewas no difference between his Spiritand dantian. An average cultivatorhad to push the Engragintetheir'Spirit sidWy. I {Key did it too fast,their Spirit would grow unstable.There was a difference betweenSpirit and Energy. Spirit was Spiritand Energy was Energy. This factwas obvious at first glance, but itheld incredible importance! Thecontent is on NovelDrama.Org! Readthe latest chapter there!
The Spirit could only transform Energy into Spirit slowly. So, if the cultivators pushed too much Energy into their Spirit, it wouldgrow sluggish. The Energy would mix with the Spirit, making the Spirit's density decrease because it was distributed over a widerarea. Therefore, the efficiency of the conversion would suffer.
Yet, in Gravis' case, he had lightningin his dantian and lightning in hisSpirit. He could just push all hislightning into his aon ubanyworry. Tyegnessue uld be thathewWould have no lightning left tofight if he emptied all of it into hisSpirit. Of course, Gravis wouldn't riskhis survival like that. He decided thathe would push 10% of his lightninginto his Spirit and then wait until heregenerated all of it again before herepeated the cycle. The content is onNovelDrama.Org!

Like this, Gravis decided to do the same thing that he always did when reaching a new continent.
Look for a city.
