Chapter 143: Ch 143- Sovereign Realm Cultivation

Mo Yuan looked at David and finally asked the question that had been on his mind.

"I wanted to ask about Sovereign Realm cultivation."

"Oh?"

David was slightly surprised.

He had not expected Mo Yuan to ask about the Sovereign Realm so soon. After all, Mo Yuan was still in the Early Stage of the Origin Soul Realm.

However, when David thought about Mo Yuan’s terrifying growth rate, he quickly understood.

For an ordinary cultivator, the Sovereign Realm might be an unreachable peak.

For Mo Yuan, it was only a matter of time.

"Since you are interested, I’ll tell you about the Sovereign Realm," David said.

"The Peak Sovereign Realm has a base strength of around ten billion jin. Their maximum base speed can reach five hundred Mach and their Origin Sense can spread as far as one hundred kilometers."

Mo Yuan nodded after hearing this.

Those numbers were certainly impressive for ordinary cultivators but to him, they were not as shocking as David might expect.

His own strength had already reached around two billion jin after activating his various talents, even though he was only in the Origin Soul Realm.

However, Mo Yuan knew that these numbers were only the surface.

David had not finished explaining.

"But this is only a general overview of the Sovereign Realm."

His expression became more serious.

"The biggest difference between an Origin Lord and a Sovereign is not simply the increase in strength."

"To step from the Origin Lord Realm into the Sovereign Realm, a cultivator must comprehend an elemental force."

Mo Yuan’s expression changed slightly.

"Elemental force?"

"Yes."

David nodded.

"Once you comprehend an elemental force, your ordinary Primordial Qi will gradually transform into Elemental Primordial Qi."

He raised one hand.

A small flame suddenly appeared above his palm.

The flame was only the size of a fist but the moment it appeared, Mo Yuan could feel a completely different energy from it.

"This is my Fire Elemental Primordial Qi."

David slowly closed his fingers, causing the flame to disappear.

"You already know that ordinary Primordial Qi can double your physical strength. Elemental Primordial Qi is even stronger. Once your Primordial Qi completely transforms, it can provide roughly a three-times boost."

Mo Yuan’s eyes narrowed.

Three times.

That single difference was already enormous.

David continued explaining.

"Most cultivators choose relatively common elemental forces such as Fire, Water, Wind and Earth. They are easier to comprehend because there are many resources and records left behind by previous cultivators."

"However, rare elemental forces are much more difficult."

"Space, Gravity, Darkness, Light, Time and other special forces are far harder to comprehend. There simply aren’t enough cultivators who have successfully grasped them, so there are very few cultivation methods or experiences that can be used as reference."

David sighed slightly.

"If you choose such a path, most of the time you have to figure everything out yourself."

Mo Yuan nodded slowly.

"So most cultivators first comprehend an ordinary elemental force and enter the Sovereign Realm. After that, they study other elemental forces?"

"Exactly."

David nodded.

"That is the path most people take."

Mo Yuan fell silent.

He had originally thought that the Sovereign Realm would simply be another realm where his body would become stronger and his cultivation would increase but now he realized that it was completely different.

Elemental Primordial Qi and a three-times boost.

Even a cultivator with ten billion jin of base strength could reach thirty billion jin after using Elemental Primordial Qi, without even counting their talents, techniques or other abilities.

Mo Yuan’s expression became serious.

’I’m still far behind.’

His current strength might allow him to fight across several realms but Sovereign Realm cultivators were on another level entirely and this was still not the end.

"That isn’t all," David said.

Mo Yuan looked at him.

"Once you reach the later stages of the Sovereign Realm and finally break through, something else will happen."

David pointed toward his abdomen.

"You will form your Primordial Core."

"Primordial Core?"

"Yes. Up until the Sovereign Realm, your body itself is responsible for storing your Primordial Qi. However, after forming the Primordial Core, your Primordial Qi will have a true place to gather and accumulate."

David smiled.

"The amount of Primordial Qi you can store will increase enormously. More importantly, once you have enough Elemental Primordial Qi inside your Primordial Core, you can use it to maintain flight for hours."

Mo Yuan’s eyes widened slightly.

Finally, the mystery that had been bothering him was solved.

Ever since he began cultivating, Mo Yuan had wondered why this world did not have something similar to a dantian.

Cultivators could store Primordial Qi throughout their bodies but there was no central core that gathered it all together.

Now he finally understood, the Primordial Core was that missing piece.

Mo Yuan lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Seeing his serious expression, David could not help but laugh.

"Hahaha, you don’t have to think about it too much."

He waved his hand.

"Cultivation is a step-by-step process. You are still far from the Sovereign Realm. There is no need to worry about everything now."

Mo Yuan slowly came back to his senses.

He looked at David and nodded.

"Understood, Senior David."

Mo Yuan suddenly remembered one more thing he had been curious about for a long time.

"Senior David, what about soul cultivation?"

He had always found this strange.

Ever since he started cultivating, everything he had learned was related to the body, Primordial Qi and the various talents.

As for the soul, he had never heard much about it.

He had originally assumed that the soul would naturally become stronger as the cultivator’s body and cultivation improved.

"Oh, soul cultivation?"

David was just about to explain when the elevator doors suddenly opened.

Mo Yuan turned his head and saw two familiar figures walked out.

It was Mu Bai and Bai Chuan.

Mu Bai looked toward Mo Yuan and was slightly surprised.

"Oh, Mo Yuan? You are here too?"

Bai Chuan also looked at him with some surprise.

Mo Yuan immediately stood up and greeted them.

"Good morning, Senior Mu, Senior Bai."

Mu Bai smiled and nodded.

"Good morning."

Mo Yuan then explained, "I was getting bored at home, so I thought I might as well come here and watch the tournament."

"Hahaha, you are not wrong," Bai Chuan laughed. "but the preliminary round will probably be quite boring."

Mu Bai also smiled.

"What were you two discussing?"

David glanced at Mo Yuan before answering.

"He was asking about soul cultivation."

"Oh? Soul cultivation?"

Mu Bai’s expression changed slightly.

He looked at Mo Yuan with some interest.

"You want to know about soul cultivation?"

"Yes, Senior Mu."

Mo Yuan nodded seriously.

He had been curious about this for a long time.

Mu Bai thought for a moment before smiling.

"Then let me tell you about it."

The three Sovereign Realm cultivators sat down, while Mo Yuan remained focused on Mu Bai.

Mu Bai was the leader of the Mu Family and a powerful Sovereign Realm cultivator. If anyone knew about soul cultivation, he was certainly one of the best people to ask.

Mu Bai slowly began explaining.

"So, it is like this..."

Mo Yuan listened carefully.
