The Strongest Businessman-148 Chapter 148: Increase in Power!

"Wait... I have evolved my constitution again...could it be? " Dylan was thinking that he was going to take another Heavenly Tribulation. He sat down immediately and tried to sense that sense of impending doom he felt when he was about to undergo his first Heavenly Tribulation.

"Huuu. It's a good thing that I don't have to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation again." Dylan sighed in relief. He thought he was going to endure that type of gruesome experience once more.

'Maybe it is because I am not the first person to create the Ancestral Veins System? Cosmic God was the first person to achieve that realm after all.' Dylan contemplated. 'Now that I think about it, I was only able to sense the Heavenly Tribulation after I formed the Supreme Core. I guess that it is a probable reason for now...'

"The Cosmic God was a really amazing person. To think he would dare to enter a Godbeast's lair and steal one of it's babies." Dylan remembered how Cosmic God described how he could acquire 125 extra veins for the formation of the Ancestral Veins.

Cosmic God snatched the newborn egg of a Godbeast called Thousand Tentacle Ancestor. He heard of how the core of the beast could transform one's Spirit Veins System to the Ultimate Veins Realm where the spirit veins are enlarged to an exaggerated extent of 10 times than that of the normal sized ones. Acquiring this will evolve that person's Avatar to an Ultimate! It could even still grow stronger with the bestowment of the Origin Palace Evolution.

Cosmic God snatched the egg of the Godbeast when a a group of people tried to slay Thousand Tentacle Ancestor. When he consumed the yolk of the egg, he felt an indescribable change in his body and he fainted. When he woke up, he was shocked when his Spirit Veins System was duplicated!

He did not dare detonate his original Spirit Veins like how he detonated his Spirit Core to form the Legendary Core since it could result to him falling to Cultivation Deviation. But with a duplicated Spirit Veins System, he decided to try it out.

When he finished detonating it one by one, he was already knocking on death's door. He decided to circulate his energy with this new yet already crippled Spirit Veins System. That was when it incited a new transformation just like how Dylan was able to complete the evolution process.

...

"Hehehe, I feel powerful!" Dylan streched his body and he was amazed by how light and energetic his body was feeling despite the death-incurring torture he just endured a few minutes ago.

"I wonder what my two Avatars would be." Dylan said while he was doing his training routine.

An Avatar is something which determines the path that a person should follow because it depicts the talent that you inherently posses. It further enhances techniques which are aligned with its nature. Thus, many people would choose Earth Techniques only when they have awakened their Avatars since Earth Techniques are the techniques which are designed with a prefirgured element to train with.

"However, judging from my heritage, it would most likely be related to fire and water." Dylan thought while he performed the High Spirit Rank technique, Deadly Spiritbreaker, that he chose for himself.

An Avatar is also mostly related with one's heritage. That is why a clan has a trademark Avatar that people would recognize them for. The Ford Clan is the True King Clan which is renowned for its water attribute avatars. The most famous one was Derik Ford's Ocean Swallowing Whale!

On the other hand, the Magma Clan is known for its' inherent fire attribute avatars. They are most renowned by the royal family's Magma Firebird.

"Does that mean I have the possibility of getting contrasting elements?" Dylan momentarily stopped once he considered this possibility. He had not thoroughly thought about what type of Avatar he is going to get as he was preoccupied with stabilizing his business in the city.

"I was originally hoping I could obtain a pair of Avatars with similar attributes so I can easliy create fusion attacks. The possibility of it being contrasting attributes will make it harder to create combinations. There is also the conflict between the attribute of the spirit energy I am going to cultivate." Dylan did not consider this possibility early on. He was starting feel the problem of his origins.

"My Spirit Veins and Ancestral Veins System could each cultivate one element. If my avatars is truly fire and water, that means I can only use it one Avatar at a time! Because if I try to use them both, my core would not able to handle the friction between the two energies. Not to mention, it would greatly weaken the energy output of my attacks... Damn!" The more Dylan thought about it, the more he felt how much crisis he was in!

"Wait! I forgot about the fact that I train in the Cosmic God Manual where common sense does not apply bevause I train in the Cosmic Energy!" Dylan's eyes suddenly brightened once he thought of it!

The Cosmic Energy is the type of energy which the Cosmic God designed to be similar to the Source Energy of the cosmos. Although he royally failed to do so, the Cosmic Energy still retains some of the qualities and characteristics of the Source Energy. One could even call it the Pseudo-Source Energy.

One of the prominent features of the Source Energy is that all types of energy comes from it! This is the feature which the Cosmic Energy was able to mimic after Cosmic God's years of research. Enabling him to be able to cultivate and use multiple energies with different attributes. This was also one of the reason's that Dylan could use the Thunderclod Monarch Art!

"The Cosmic God Manual is really awesome! My master Cosmic God is really the best!" Dylan was endlessly prasing the Cosmic God Manual since it had solved his most troublesome issue in his cultivation!

"With those problems solved, I guess I can now focus on improving my strength!" Dylan happily remarked.

Dylan was currently piling up the more than fourteen thousand Primal Stones in front of him. It flooded the entire cultivation room. But if there was somebody else here, they would not able to see the Primal Stones since they are invisble to other except for Dylan.

On the night after the auction, Dylan was thinking that the Primal Stones no longer had any use to him now that he was already at the Pinnacle of the 10th level of the Spirit Veins Realm. But there was something that hit him. He had only used the Primal Stones in ones or in twos. How about if he starts crushing it by fives or even tens?

Surprisingly, when he crushed five Primal Stones at the same time, the energy contained within gathered in his arms and became denser. When Dylan absrobed it, it felt as though it was twice if not thrice as more effective than doing it by twos!

Now, Dylan was attempting do it by tens! The energy from within the stones gathered in Dylan's arms and formed an even denser color of white than a Deca-Stone could offer!

"Hahaha, it's like having absorbing three Deca-Stones at the same time! The energy within the Primal Stones has a strange tendency of gathering together and making it even more denser and purer than usual!" Dylan arrived at this conclusion after absorbing the Primal Stones!

Initial 11th Level Ancestral Veins!

Intermediate 11th level Ancestral Veins!

High 11th level Ancestral Veins!!

Dylan continued breaking the more than 14,700 Primal Stones! It took Dylan an hour to finish absorbing to all of them! Dylan felt as if he just absorbed nearly six thousand Deca-Stones from it!! He was able to advance from Initial to High stage of the 11th level due to this! He was even close to breaking through to the next stage!

A single Deca-Stone is equal to ten Primal Stones. However, by discovering the principle of the enrgy within the stones, Dylan was able to ascertain that crushing 5 at ones would double its expected amount of energy but crushing 10 at the same time would be four times more the expected amount!

"Amazing! How about if I use this method with the Deca-Stones as well?" Dylan thought of a really rad idea.

"Let's try it!" He called out the 1,470 Deca-Stones! He tried doing it by fives at first. The same phenomenon happened with how the Primal Stones Energy became even more denser! Dylan was even surprised by the amount of energy recieved which was equal to using 15 Deca-Stones individually!

"This is amazing!" Dylan crushed 10 Deca-Stones at the same time! He was even more delighted to discover that it was equivalent 60 Deca-Stones!

Dylan tried to do it with 20 stones but its effectiveness was just the same as doing it with 10. So, Dylan decided to stick with doing it by 10s.

Peak 11th Level Ancestral Veins!

Pinnacle 11th Level Ancestral Veins!

Initial 12th Level Ancestral Veins!!

Using all one thousand and four hundred seventy Deca-Stones, he was able to succesfully breakthrough past the 11th level! Dylan was feeling the surge in power after checking out the overflowing and smooth flow of spirit energy from his Supreme Core until the Ancestral Veins System!

"I'll break thorugh past the 13th level with these seven!" Dylan continued to crush the 7 Millenial Stones that he still had! The ten thousand energy threads of each stone that was equal to a Primal Stone per thread made Dylan's strength surge forth by leaps and bounds as he was being raaped by the coccoons!

He broke through from the Initial to Peak Stage of the 12th level with one Millenial Stone. Broke through to the 13th level by using one more stone. The third stone helped me advance until the Intermediate Stage of the 13th Level. The fourth stone was used to jump from Intermediate to High. The fifth was used to barely break through the Peak Stage while last two stones were used in order to reach the Pinnacle 13th level of the Ancestral Veins.

"So close. But I guess my estimate of 30 Millenial Stones to pass the Amcestral Veins was just right. Twenty three more!" Dylan clenched his fist as he said those words.

He could cultivate without even reinforcing his cultivation due to the presence of his Supreme Core but Dylan still chose to circulate his spirit energy so that it could be more refined and so that he could familiarise himself with his new Ancestral Veins System.

He thought that he could maybe multicast with the addition of the Ancestral Veins. Both energy vein systems could be manipulated with a thought. Both have the same positioning inside the body just different structure. So, Dylan tried to use the power of his Spirit Veins on his left and on his right!

"Tiger Crushing Fist and Deadly Spiritbreaker!" Both were fist techniques that needs the fuel of spirit energy. The dummy he put in front of him was qyickly destroyed without a cinch, Also, they both followed different channels of veins in order to be activated but Dylan was able to do both at the same time!

"This is brutally awesome!" Although he only used Spirit Techniques, he was able to confirm that he could definitely perform a multicast spell! Even using two techniques with different would be no problem if he mastered the timing! But if he does, he could definitely destroy opponents of an even higher level than what he was right now!

He could only imagine himself multicasting Earth or Heaven Rank Spells at an army. The amount of damage incurred would be incredibly high! But there was one downside to this, Dylan noticed that multicasting puts a lot of stress on the body. His arm were already shaking after he used the two techniques earlier.

"I guess I have to build up enough stamina and resistance if I want to use this multicasting method in the future. But once I reach King Stage of Body Strengthening, maybe multicasting would be much more easier to use than how it is now." Dylan thought before continuing to train.

After an hour, Dylan decided to exit the Cultivation Room and felt truly joyful because of the bountiful harvest he got from this cultivations session. He was received by Azelmek and the others when he exited the Cultivation Room.

"How did it go?" Sheldom asked.

"It went perfectly. I was able to smoothly breakthrough to the next level." Dylan told them.

"Oh. I am quite curious what level you are now. I can't see through your cultivation level because of the unique Cultivation Technique that Master gave you." Azelmek inquired what his current cultivation was.

"I am already at the 12th level." Dylan disclosed but he decided to hold back a bit because he knew that advancing to the 13th level was too fast and it would most likely shock the three a bit too much.

"You are rather talented in Spiritual Cultivation as well." Allen was mildly surprise because it only took Dylan 3 weeks to advance 2 whole levels!

"Indeed. To think that nephew would be so talented in both aspects of cultivation as well." Sheldon lightly clapped his hands to show his support.

"Well, it is mainly because of the purer and denser spirit energy within the city that made it twice as easy gathering and refining energy." Dylan modestly replied.

"But, not everyone could do advance two levels in just three works." Azelmek commented.

"I was merely lucky to receive your guidance." Dylan said meekly.

"Stop being so modest in front of us, be more confident, will you? You have talent. You should be proud of it. Being brazen is not peculiar when you are at your age." Sheldon complained about Dylan's ever-humble behavior.

"I will try, uncle." Dylan scratched his head and looked a little bit embarassed.

"He's right. Its' not bad to be proud about your achievements. Be brazen but with moderation." Allen added.

"Mhm." Dylan nodded. He bowed and turned around to leave. "Thank you again for everything, everyone. I think I should go now. My employess must be waiting for me in the store."

Dylan left the Premier Hall and made his way to the Soaring Garden Property. When he was near the store, he saw that Billy, Larry and the other were outside wearing frantic expressions. He found it peculiar because he knew that it was not their shift yet today.

Seeing this, Dylan immediately rushed over to them. He asked as soon as he was close enough, "What are you all doing? Why are you here at the store? Shouldn't you all be at home ~?"

"Sir Dylan! Thank goodness, you are back! Mary has been kidnapped and has been missing since you left! We can't contact her for the past few hours. We don't know who did it but we have already reported it to the Thundercloud Guards." Larry reacted immediately and said.

"What?!" Dylan was too shocked by this news. Someone kidnapped Mary? Dylan had a bad premonition about this news because he had the feeling that the abductors were the people who threatened him.
