Battle and Sex Is All A Primordial Fiend Needs-Chapter 65 Breakthrough
On a high mountain located among a scattered cluster of other mountains, Seth stood on its peak and looked down on the beautiful scenery, he felt at the top of the world right now and thoughts of the day such feeling would be reflected by his power flowed through his head.
He had come here to avoid disturbance and peacefully get a grasp on his current situation.
"I kind of expected my body to be wrecked and filled with unspeakable pains when I used your power, but none of that has happened, are the effects still yet to come," Seth asked as he inspected his very healthy body.
"Ha, ha, ha, if a single drop of my power entered your body, it would explode in a second," the entity told Seth mockingly, "I reside in your soul, and it's the medium through which my power reaches you, so your body is safe".
"So what are the consequences of everything you have helped me with today," Seth asked.
"Well the worst one is that you would be dead within the next 6 months" the entity chuckled,
"Why? Is my soul dying?", Seth asked.
"Correct guess, but for the wrong question, after 6 months someone should kill you, I don't know who but we have a ton of enemies so it can be anyone, and well seeing as you're stuck on this planet, you're basically a sitting duck for them.
As for your soul dying, well you are right, for every second I become active within you, your soul loses its strength and lifespan, that is one of the reasons why I didn't have a conversation with you the first time we met, but thanks to the Vampi and Draco as you call them, your soul strength got increased by several folds, it's a shame their gone now though."
"Huh, what do you mean they're gone" Seth sharply asked.
"Well you died, and I had no interest in pulling around those annoying kids when I wander around, so I released them" the entity naturally replied.
Seth didn't know what to say for a few seconds, he was stunned at the thought that he had just lost the consciousnesses, two very incredible sources of knowledge on his current bloodline.
"Can't we get them back?" Seth asked.
"Impossible, even for me" it replied.
"Uhhhh, in that case, let's go back to the issue of my soul, if it's truly dying as you say, then why don't I feel anything, I mean my …" Seth was saying but paused when he tried to use his soul sense.
Seth's soulsense was one of the major reasons why he was able to lay waste cultivators with higher cultivation, without it he couldn't even control Raiju's lightening, and now he couldn't feel it anymore.
"My soul sense is gone" Seth whispered. 𝚋𝚎dno𝚟𝚎l.n𝚎𝚝
"Yeah, your soul has fallen to about the level of what you call the cadet stage, oh and maybe you haven't noticed but your connection with Eleusis has been forever destroyed," the entity said in a cheerful tone.
Seth was still coming to terms with losing his soul sense when he heard that his connection with Eleusis, had been destroyed, not even closed.
"I don't tolerate coexistence with any other being, they either bow to me or get vanquished, so tell me, don't you now regret saving that woman" it arrogantly teased him.
"None of your business", Seth said, "but why are u still talking to me right now, if you are aware that you're killing my soul, couldn't you have just sent me a message like you did the last time". Seth questioned.
"I just wanted to have a chat with you before you died", the entity said in a bored tone.
"Well in that case, just straight up tell me, how the hell I advance my cultivation,"
"You already figured it out, but for clearance, what I will tell you is that peace would be your nemesis for a long time, fighting battles should be your daily bread, the second we both came together, was the day you were born to bring calamity and destruction to whatever world harbored you or creation depending on how far you go on your cultivation journey.
Think of winning fights as cultivation points, the more you win the more point you have till you eventually qualify for a breakthrough.
Survive through battles with worthy opponents and you will get have breakthroughs and get stronger.
"Now, unless you want to die today, I think its best I go back to sleep," the entity said, "and oh, I still haven't mentioned the price of saving the girl's soul, but don't worry, you're going to eventually find out" it chuckled as its presence faded away till Seth could sense nothing, his remaining questions stuck in his head.
With his internal monologue done, Seth began planning his next move given his severe reduction in power when he was interrupted by a familiar voice.
"Darling I think it's best if you paused your brainstorming and instead get ready for your incoming breakthrough"
Seth's eyes snapped open and he looked at the beautiful woman lying on a floating long luxurious couch just in front of him.
"Alexia "Seth said stunned, you look different",
The Alexia before Seth was far different from the Alexia he had been with, she still had blond hair, but this time anything that looked like a wrinkle on her face was completely gone, her skin took on a shade of exotic fairness, but unfortunately, her beautiful body was hidden under a long dress which reached right up to her feet and more.
"Am glad to see you be entranced with my beauty, you pervert" Alexia giggled as she watched Seth squint his eyes, trying to catch a glimpse of the curves beneath her dress,
"But like I said you have an incoming breakthrough".
Since his revival, Seth had been surrounded with thick black lightning bolts, but now that the entity had most likely gone back to slumber, the qi it had supplied faded away, taking the lightening with it, and now qi from the surroundings had begun flowing into him.
During a breakthrough within the cadet stage, one would feel like he had been stuffed with qi then like a broken dam, a gate would open and then they would feel an increase in their strength.
But the phenomenon where qi flowed from the surroundings and entered someone only happened during a ranked cultivator breakthrough or when one was becoming a ranked cultivator.
Seth couldn't help but grin at this realization and immediately made to sit down and began cultivating when he suddenly felt intense pain wash over him, like sharp needles, qi flowed from around and pierced into him, and he felt his qi pathways become flooded with qi which then flowed to his open gates.
The gates were like a round wall surrounding a precious jewel in the middle, with the jewel being the loose cluster of qi.
Seconds after free qi poured into him, it passed through the open gates, and from inside smashed against the remaining closed gates, smashing them open, and bringing Seth to the peak of cadet stage, now that he had opened all seven gates, meaning that there were no more walls around the clustered energy which was soon to become a dantian.
Although on earth there were generally known to be 7 gates, from the memories Seth had been given, he knew that there were thirteen, and within the cluster of qi, there was a tiny object called a dantian core.
A dantian core was an infantile dantian, and surrounding this dantian core were 4 wide pillars with the core and pillars resting on the round plate.
Opening these five remaining gates usually took time and resources, and could only be done when one was breaking through, but Seth didn't even have to put in effort as the torrent of qi flowing into him, became so turbulent that it began pressing down on the cluster of qi, diffusing into it and brutally hitting on the 4 inner pillars, compliment of Seth's blood which was literally boiling and sending the qi all throughout his body into chaos.
Seconds later and the 4 pillars were broken, and then came the most difficult part, the last pillar, the plate on which the dantian core rested.
The platter was wide with a circular shape, it supported and stabilized the dantian during its formation, and taking it away was usually suicide as the dantian core would become far too unstable and lead to an explosion of qi.
Though this last pillar had been of assistance during the cadet stage, it would become a hindrance when one broke through as it as the flow of qi in and out of the dantian would face obstruction when it came into contact with the plate.
Seth knew this, but currently, he didn't have the resources to risk trying to open this gate, but before he knew it, his qi after breaking down the last 4 gates didn't waste a second before doing the same to the last one.
Now completely free and having no obstacle in the way of it, Seth's dantian core began crazily absorbing qi, and before long it had increased in size by several folds and was still increasing, it increased in size till it was large as an adult head before stopping and then it outer layer began compressing.
Seth felt his dantian harden as more and more qi permeated into its surface, and then he felt tiny particles of qi moving up and down in his dantian.
Though he now had a dantian filled with gaseous qi, Seth's breakthrough was not over, he fell to the ground as all the flesh in his body seemed to have turned to jelly, and then felt like he was being electrocuted by qi time and time again, with each shock sending him gritting his teeth in pain.
Seth didn't know for how long he lay on the ground, but the next time he came to, all the pain and erratic movement of qi in his body was over, and with a groan, he stood up.
