However in the end, he could only hope that it wasn't what he thought it was and press the upgrade b.u.t.ton.

Sitting cross legged on the ground, Yang Shen didn't do anything stupid like press the upgrade b.u.t.ton multiple times and waited patiently for his body to start cultivating on its own under the system's influence.

Unlike in the past, Yang Shen was now going to carefully observe how his cultivation would increase to obtain a better understanding of his cultivation and strength.

Buzzzzz

Along with his body vibrating a little, Yang Shen didn't need to wait long before every pore on his body opened and acted like a whirlpool each and absorbed all the Qi around him.

In fact, it wasn't just his body which was greedily absorbing all the Qi it found around it inside him. Yang Shen's own dantian was like a sponge as it sucked in every strand of Qi that entered his body,

Observing the actions of his body for a while, Yang Shen sunk his consciousness deeper and entered his dantian where all the Qi was being gathered.

Not missing a single detail as white colour strands of Qi were quickly being converged at the centre of his dantian, Yang Shen noticed that the moment something similar to a small cloud was created inside his dantian, the phenomenon he was waiting for finally happened.

The Primordial Nine Suns Technique was a special technique which allowed the cultivator to cultivate two types of Qi.

One, the ordinary attributeless Qi, and two, the Primordial Nine Suns Qi.

Looking towards a thick white strand escaping the cloud of white Qi, Yang Shen soon saw the thick white strand turn red in colour and float above the white cloud.

Primordial Nine Suns Qi!

Feeling a warmth as his consciousness approached the floating strand of red Qi, Yang Shen felt that under the disguise of being warm and peaceful the red Qi was hiding a spark which could burn down the entire world.

Snap!

Opening his eyes in the outside world, Yang Shen found his back covered in cold sweat out of sheer fear towards his own Qi.

"How amazing… So that's the Primordial Nine Suns Qi."

Pulling up his status once he lived down the sensation of cultivation increasing, Yang Shen's excitement turned into a wry smile.

Sighing deeply, Yang Shen said, "In the end, what needs to happen will always happen."

[Yang Shen

Age: 18

Race: Human

Bloodline: None

Cultivation: Qi Gathering Level 1 (2/9) (XP: 31,290/1,200)

Cultivation Technique: Primordial Nine Suns Technique (Incomplete - Part 1, and Part 2) (Proficiency: 37%)

Battle Skills: None

Special Techniques: The Erogenous Beauty Stimulating Ma.s.sage Technique (Level 1: Proficiency: 100%)

Points: 103]

Looking towards the 2/9 which was previously 1/9, Yang Shen ended up remembering the day he purchased the 2nd Part of the Primordial Nine Suns Technique.

Cultivate Nine times to create Nine Suns!

When he first read those words and looked towards the XP bar, Yang Shen had guessed that the system had calculated the required XP depending on how much it would take him to cultivate nine times.

No, not guess. Hope.

Yang Shen hoped that the XP required was decided after determining how much he would need to cultivate nine times.

But once he started interacting with Qi and found the 1/9 appearing beside his cultivation, Yang Shen had mentally prepared himself for this minor setback.

Understanding that the huge advantage he thought he possessed due to the huge amount of XP he acc.u.mulated was no longer as big as it originally was, Yang Shen decided to look at the good part.

Cultivating Nine times to create Nine Suns.

Putting aside the Nine Suns which he was yet to figure out, Yang Shen who understood the meaning behind cultivating Nine Times realized that his own cultivation base would be nine times bigger than everyone else in the same realm as him.

Due to that, not only would he be unrivalled in the same realm, but there shouldn't be any problem for him to fight against those in the higher realms either!

Well either way, now was the time to continue with his level up.

Having decided to upgrade his cultivation base to the 2nd Level of Qi Gathering Realm, Yang Shen hid his tears and clicked on the upgrade b.u.t.ton and got ready to spend 9,600 XP to simply increase his cultivation by one minor realm.

….

One huge cloud of white Qi, and nine bright red wisps floating above it.

This was what Yang Shen obtained by spending a total of 10,800 XP.

Looking towards his remaining 21,690 XP, Yang Shen felt his energy being mysteriously sapped away since this wasn't even enough to increase his cultivation to the 4th Level of Qi Gathering Realm.

Sigh…

Shaking his head and forcing himself to not think about something so depressing, Yang Shen withdrew the Dragon's Way of Spear Part 1 from the inventory.

Now that he upgraded his cultivation and possessed a lot of Qi inside him, it was time for him to learn this Battle Skill and the way to control Qi at the same time.

[Dragon's Way of Spear Part 1 - The Dragon Pierces the Void

A ??? Grade Battle Skill which is capable of allowing the cultivator to pierce the s.p.a.ce with a simple thrust of his spear.
