Chapter 5: Infinite Qi System
The transfer process last for quite some time before it was finished, and when it was done, his mother was already quite tired but still hold on to say one final thing.
"One last thing baby, is the cultivation realms, mama refrains from telling you this in the past as this will be more of a problem rather than a blessing back then, but it's all good now" she said before once again explaining things to him, albeit now in a simpler and quicker fashion.
There are two life levels known to the eastern continent, namely the mortal and the celestial level, the mortal level further divided into nine realms and those nine realms are divided into four states, while the celestial level is something that is obscure even for the top powers of the mortal level.
The mortal realms of cultivation being: Body Tempering, Qi Refining, Pedestal Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Source, Soul Formation, Body Integration, Void Shattering and Ascension, each of them divided into the Early, Intermediate, Advance and Perfection state.
For now, the realms in the celestial level were not mentioned to him, as even his mother is not privy to whether existence of this level exist, given the fact that even the publicly recognized strongest in the continent is just at the advance state of Ascension Realm.
Unable to fall asleep, Wu Xiaotian couldn't help but explore the system interface, where he saw something interesting down the system tabs.
[System (1)]
[Infinite Qi System]
[Info: Transport the user to a dimension that generates infinite amount of qi. Time of stay in is measured and converted into Universal Coins that can be used to buy everything in the main shop. While cultivating, time outside stops.]
[Daily available entry: 1/1 (Upgradeable)]
[Rate of Conversion: 1 Universal Coin for every minute cultivating inside]
Seeing the description, Wu Xiaotian couldn't help but smile as he thought just how OP this system is, and this is just a sub system rewarded by the Universal Shop System, so he couldn't help but wonder just how strong his system is.
After spending a few more minutes of confirming whether his mother is truly asleep, he decided to enter. Sure, the system states that time stops whenever he enters but he thought that it's better to be safe than sorry.
As soon as he enters, he felt a torrential wave of qi slamming into his body. While the qi in their residence is extremely rich according to his mother, it doesn't even begin to compare with the richness of the qi in here, being so abundant that it feels like he is submerged underwater rather than walking normally in land.
Gathering himself and steadying his breath, he sat in a lotus position as he started chanting the first chapter of the True Transcendence Body Art. As soon as he did so, the chaotic current of qi starts to gradually flow organized into a massive whirlpool with him as the center.
In fact, the normal absorption rate of the cultivation technique is not that exaggerated but because of his recently acquired talents, the rate of absorption was amplified by leaps and bounds.
Given how fast he is absorbing the qi, he couldn't help but think that he will breakthrough and reach Qi Refining Realm in a few moments but he was gravely mistaken as all of the qi he was refining was gradually devoured by something eventually turning it into a core, something that was only cultivators at least at the core formation realm have, something so weird that it appears to have form and no form at the same time, causing him to be apprehensive and inspect it with caution.
When he inspected it, the system appears and shows its information.
[Primordial Nihility Transcendent Qi]
[Energy that births the nihility, in which the chaos is situated. Able to devour every energy in existence and transform them into it, can also mimic the property of every energy in existence with elevated potency.]
Seeing this, his apprehension lowers as he directs his attention back to cultivation and wait what would happen to it as he continues to take in more qi.
Eventually, something happens as the Transcendent Qi gradually transforms and turns into a ball occupying his entire core.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but be bewildered as according to her mother, only by reaching the Core Formation Realm can one form a solid core that can store their qi inside their body, but not to mention Core Formation Realm, he doesn't even reach the Qi Refining Realm yet, which makes him so confused and frustrated because there was no one to ask.
This confusion doesn't last much though as excitement replaces it when streams of peculiar yet powerful energy started coming out of the core and travelling across his body, triggering a process of repetitive creation and destruction to everything in its path.
At first, he felt a mind-numbing amount of pain as his entire body starts to crack and heal again and again, feeling like someone was stabbing all across him, not only his body but also his soul.
Being an experienced person in his previous life though, he managed to tough it out through sheer will until the pain was eventually lowered into a tolerable level.
A few hours later, everything was finished and he also feels like the level of power the energy in his core currently has is no longer enough to stimulate his body, so he decided to stop for a while and check his status before he continue cultivating.

Seeing his current stats, Wu Xiaotian was exhilarated as a simple increase in his mastery of his three talents was enough to double all of his stats.
'Thinking about all the pain I had gone through and comparing it to the fact that I broke the limit of what is possible for the Entry state of the Body Tempering Realm, I think it is all worth it' he though with a smile as he starts cultivating once again.
Time passed and he is no longer satisfied with the speed of production of his Transcendent Qi, the problem being the lack of density of qi within this area, and he felt the qi further ahead of him being thicker than the qi here, hence he decided to move forward and try cultivating in the deeper area.
Arriving within the deeper area, he was immediately pressed by an overwhelming pressure that nearly kills him in an instant, luckily, his talents activated in time as they sucked in all the qi bearing down on him, causing the integration over the three talents to rise further and further.
Unfortunately, the qi in the surrounding never stops pressuring him and try as he might, the pressure increases so much that he was crushed in an instant.
Opening his eyes, he found himself in the familiar bedroom drowning in a massive breast, if not for the numbers displayed in the golden floating screen and the pain of being crushed still there, he would think that all of that was just a bad dream. He decided to enjoy the feeling of his mother's embrace for a bit before checking on his status.

Staring at the system screen, his face couldn't help but beam into a wide smile, thinking that while it might be to early to call himself truly invincible, he thought that now at least, he will be unrivalled under the same realm right?
