My crazy Cultivation Path

CHAPTER 156- this problem is top priority

“I need to sleep… trying to understand this with a tired body won’t help me at all,”

Tony said.

He had set up a room, despite the abandonment of level six.

Some rooms were still habitable.

Turning toward Hikiri and Aconé, Tony said:

“Try to push your bodies to the limit, just like your techniques. After all, training is meant to learn and to improve.”

Leaving to sleep, he left Hikiri and Aconé behind.

Who had already sat down in a lotus position.

After spending half a day cultivating, the two stood up, took their sabers, and faced each other.

Hikiri: You also prefer to train like this?

Aconé: Yes… but I don’t neglect the time spent cultivating.

A wave of air wrapped itself around Hikiri’s blade.

Aconé, on the other hand, surrounded his saber with flames.

The two lunged at each other, intending to test new things.

………

Opening his eyes, Tony began to focus all his attention on his lower abdomen.

He could still feel those small veins. In his opinion, they hadn’t yet reached the size of an earthworm.

But he could feel it—they had grown. Maybe just a little, but the result was the same.

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Think… think… think.

Tony repeated to himself.

What is there in my lower abdomen?

The orb that allows me to absorb aether, and nothing else…

Suddenly, Tony’s eyes widened at a realization.

If that’s it… then I really am the dumbest person I know.

What if the orb… is actually my aether core?

Tony slapped himself several times, repeating that he truly was the dumbest person he knew.

How did I never notice this… am I really that stupid…

But if it really is my aether core, then those veins will grow and merge with my other limbs… and that won’t just strengthen my power, but my body as well…

But he remembered the words of Zina and Sys about Immortal Realm cultivators.

Then that would mean I’ve already started developing Immortal Realm characteristics, even though I’m only at rank eight… that’s bad.

My body isn’t even fully reinforced yet… and I seriously doubt that a breakthrough where the entire body changes and develops great durability wouldn’t be taxing.

It would be impossible to do in a single day, or even a year. It’s your entire body that you have to rediscover—its possibilities and, above all, its limits.

Damn it… how did I end up with something like this… I didn’t attempt any breakthrough… and I’m not even at rank nine.

Sigh.

Sigh.

There’s no point in questioning it too much… but if I’m right, there’s no way I can reach the Immortal Realm here. Who knows how weakened I’d be…

But the other problem is that once those veins stretch throughout my entire body, I’ll automatically undergo the breakthrough… and I don’t even know the conditions yet.

And I doubt it’s like the Human Realm, where you just need to break three walls in your consciousness.

Stretching his arms wide, he groaned:

“On top of training, I now have to reach rank nine, gather information about breaking through to the Immortal Realm, find a place where I can begin that breakthrough… hmm, nothing too complicated… it’s just, at the very least, completely inconceivable.”

“But not impossible,”

Tony said to himself.

Stopping for a moment, he began to coat his skin with aether again. But the moment his entire torso was covered…

He felt the veins extending outward from his aether core.

Tony stopped dead.

As soon as the aether covering his skin dissipated…

He looked down at his lower abdomen and clearly saw the veins, which in just a few moments had stretched all the way up to his ribs.

Correction… this problem is top priority. At this rate, I can feel a terrible death waiting for me.

Tony through.
