“How should I go about it?”
Xu Xiaoshou felt rather helpless as he started to make a breakthrough into Innate Level.
Someone else might have been able to use some kind of technique, some active measure, to go on about it.
In his case, however, there wasn’t even such a technique he could use. He could do nothing but watch as his body went on to make a breakthrough…
“D*mn…”
“Can’t do. Have to do something somehow!”
He was the true master of his own body and he had to do something about it.
He looked down at his body. “You really think you can just make a breakthrough just because you feel like it?
“H*ll no!”
He suppressed it, causing his energy reserve to compress for a bit before springing open again and absorbing even more ambient spiritual energy around him.
Xu Xiaoshou was speechless.
“Whatever,” he thought. “Things have already come this far. I can no longer do anything to suppress it, and there isn’t any actual need to do so, so come on and get it over with, then.”
He then took out the Innate Pill, which he’d gotten as a reward for becoming champion.
He’d heard this thing could increase his understanding.
He didn’t think he’d need it, yet he still gently sucked it in nonetheless, reducing the pill into a stream of gas as it flowed into his body. This was the only thing he could do for himself.
He didn’t like the idea of watching his body make a breakthrough while he just stood by, doing nothing.
As soon as the pill entered his body, he felt his mind grow calmer, stripped of all excess thoughts. He became highly focused to where the only thing that existed was his raging energy reserve.
“It’s actually useful?” He shrugged off of his exceedingly focused state and, after thinking for a bit, dived back into his breakthrough, deciding he couldn’t afford to waste anything.
The waves of his energy reserve were frighteningly fierce and wild. Then, the waves subsided and charged, like a tsunami was about to hit.
His spiritual source was depleted to nourish his body, and it felt like his entire body was filled. It felt so good he almost felt like moaning.
A blast of golden light descended from above and immediately washed over his energy reserve.
He could hear the sound of mantra chants from all directions, and the Great Path seemed clear before his eyes, but he opened them to find only the void without that true nature of the world he’d hoped to see within his sight.
The raging ambient spiritual energy stagnated, and, the very next second, gobbled up his body like a black hole.
Under the light that shone onto it, rapidly working and sucking in all that thick, viscous spiritual source, an origin emerged from his energy reserve, culminating into a transparent ball of light.
All 10 levels of spiritual cultivation returned to his energy reserve as the ball of golden dragon’s light made its way into Innate Level.
A terrifying spiritual force spread out from his energy reserve, and it shook his surroundings, causing a spiritual mist to wash all over the Black Cliff.
He felt as if he’d ascended to some higher heights, and his soul was entirely absorbed into the realm he was in. While he was still unable to make out the Great Path, he felt himself become inextricably linked with it nonetheless.
His being melded with the Great Path.
His moment of enlightenment was over, and he’d gained a lot. His eyes gradually focused, and his consciousness came to the depths of the center of his brow.
“Now that my powers are now at the Innate level, it’s the time to open up the Origin Court.”
The spiritual source, which had just stabilized in his energy reserve, shot upwards into the center of his brow without stopping.
The place, which had been sealed shut for years, vaguely started to appear now that he’d made a breakthrough into Innate Level, and it wouldn’t be around for long. He directed his spiritual source to bang on the gate without a moment’s hesitation.
Booom!
His mind rumbled. Said gate swung wide open after that one strike from his spiritual source, which was several times far more raging than others.
He was utterly shocked at how easy it was. “Isn’t this a little too much…”
The gate was opened, and the Origin Court appeared.
His vast inner landscape spread right before his eyes, and he was even able to see the very source of his own soul.
The spiritual source rushed into the Origin Court, and his will entangled with it, completing the evolution in an instant.
Spiritual senses.
It was a special ability similar to “Sense,” yet somehow different.
At the moment, his Sense allowed him to clearly visualize everything within a 10-meter radius, while spiritual senses could scan everything within a radius of several kilometers.
What was different about them was that only a vague outline materialized in the latter’s visualization.
But he was elated all the same, as the two didn’t conflict with each other. Both perception abilities could be used at the same time to compliment each other, which was a great thing for him.
While the breakthrough looked like it’d taken a long time to accomplish, the process had actually taken only mere seconds. All the aura around him had broken into Innate Level from Acquired level as well, thoroughly completing his transformation.
However, the spiritual energy that had rushed into his body in a frenzy continued to rush in. He looked very expectant as he looked at his Origin Court, fully focused on it.
He could see a vague humanoid silhouette at the center of the place. That was the source of his soul.
That thing seemed to grow at blitzing speeds as it kept absorbing ambient spiritual energy, and it wasn’t long before it took its form.
His Origin Court trembled at that moment as a beam of multicolored light from the source of his soul shot to the sky.
“Innate Elemental Power!” He looked on, his eyes full of anticipation, while clenching his fist. “I wonder what it’ll be.”
He looked at the scorching red color within the beam and sensed that the red was apparently very thick and matched him extremely well.
