Holy Akashic Conqueror 152 Immortal Path, Houtian - Xiantian

He trained a bit in the Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū, though he still didn't manage to learn any techniques, as they required mastery of the Lesser Sword Dao. This only strengthened the impression of the Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū as the supreme sword technique for the Kenjutsu and Lucien often wondered of its origin.

Still, he even achieved very beautiful cultivation rank of the Intermediate-Phase Viscount-Rank, which could be considered as a better result when he spent most of his time comprehending the Lesser Sword Dao. He also, had very high combat prowess at the Superior Advanced-Phase Viscount -Rank thanks to his comprehension of the Lesser Sword Dao.

"Grandfather what will you do when we arrive at the God-Devil Plane? I mean, in the Aizhouma Universe, we are heading to, there shouldn't be any strong cultivators above Advanced-Phase Count-Ranked people, maybe some hidden masters but not many."

Asked Lucien out of his never-ending curiosity. It was the truth that in the Aizhouma Universe where are they heading, there won't be strong cultivators to give people like his grandfather some challenge. Of course, some hidden masters could appear, but there won't be enough powerful opponent to stimulate battle race like Sacred Devourer Ghouls.

"Hmm... going with the information we have, the strongest person there is Divine Warrior Rank 9, which is comparable to the Xiantian, but there would be at least two or three Jindan Realm cultivators. If we have several more Viscouint-Ranked cultivators, then only one Count-Ranked person would stay behind and rest would leave the Aizhouma Universe to search for resources, especially for those rare ones."

Said his grandfather slowly and then he quickly continued to say something again.

"To be truthful, I really can't wait to fight against cultivators of the Divine Warrior Cultivation System. Though they are mostly only energy cultivation, their cultivation system is very interesting and tricky. Fighting them would greatly improve my abilities."

"I agree with you grandpa, but don't forget that we hold the small advantage as we as body refiners have close combat advantage over those who cultivate only Energy Systems and not their bodies. Together with our weapon mastery, we could dispose of most of them while being in the same rank. Still, it is very fascinating that their cultivation system, especially that after reaching the Divine Warrior Rank 10 which is Count-Rank or Jindan Realm in our cultivation systems, they gain Nascent Soul."

Lucien analyzed their situation calmy. Body Refiners had an advantage over Energy Cultivators in the close combat as their bodies were tyrannical, especially body refiners of superior races with innately strong bodies and physiques, and because of that they had strong energy resistance and were dangerous in the close combat.

"Yes, that cultivation system provides many self-preserving techniques, but what of it, if I can just chop them with my scythe? Hahaha."

Laughed his grandfather as he finished that sentence. Most of his family members were so-called battle maniacs, Lucien included too. He also loved the thrill of the battle so he could understand why his grandfather was so impatient. He already reached the Xiantian Realm of the Darkness Energy Cultivation was itching to fight someone to death. His element was too dangerous for spars or anything similar, but it was very suitable for life and death battles. In spar with the wrong movement, he could kill his opponent if the sparring partner is weaker even a bit.

"I need to reach the Count-Rank as soon as possible after comprehending the Lesser Sword Dao so I could start the Energy Cultvaiton to enhance my strength. In some worlds we are aiming, dual cultivation is nothing uncommon and almost, all top powerhouses are cultivating several aspects to attain great strength and versatility of their power."

Said Lucien to his grandfather as they chatted together. Even though he didn't cultivate Energy System he knew some things about it. For example, his father and mother were in the Houtian Realm / Energy Condensation Realm. This was the first realm of the Energy Cultivation System, in which a person was gathering energy inside his body in the Core Sea / Dantian. It had thirteen levels, but one could reach the next realm after nine. First nine levels were so-called basic ones that were required for reaching the Xiantian Realm. Level ten to thirteen were extremely difficult to reach, but had a wondrous effect, especially for future cultivation.

In the Xiantian Realm, one would usually purify their energy and spread energy through the whole body. It also had a great effect of strengthening the physique and for Sacred Devourer Ghouls, it could passively increase the RC Level by some amount.

"Don't hurry, little one. I have spent three years in the Houtian Realm just to reach the 13th Level of the Houtian Realm and used many of precious resources. I only thing I have to say, totally worth. Especially when you reach the 13th Level, you will get a huge surprise from the heavens."

Said his grandfather with a gentle smile as he sipped from his cup of tea.

"Compared to our Body Refining, energy cultivation system in more interesting and gives many possibilities of improvement. Just reaching the Xiantian Realm gave me a lot of new power and also, many new abilities. Just like cultivating our bodies, building a stable foundation is most important of all. That Old Blood reached Xiantian Realm together with me and also cultivated to the 13th Level of the Houtian Realm. They are doing now some of their research and soon, we could have some easier way how to breach that barrier between the 9th Level and 10th Level of the Houtian Realm."
