Cheat Cultivator's Ascension - Chapter 525 - 525: Cultivation

“It’s been a month since this started, but it never really gets less impressive no matter how many times, I see it…” looking at the immortal-like figure practically parting the dense, heavy amount of spirit qi flooding any part of the Infinite Qi Dimension, Mo Lingxue couldn’t keep her gorgeous face from breaking into a faint smile as she exclaims in an amazed tone, her sentiments being shared by the other ladies standing beside her and watching the same phenomenon.

“This… I don’t know how you see it, Auntie Lingxue, but even if it is Tian, this might be more absurd than what you are thinking…” with her eyes glowing in golden light, Bai Anxin added, her face looking more shocked than impressed as she watches the young man, her step son, and the crimson tainted spirit qi swirling around him, the golden glow in her eyes fading through her own volition as she felt like she might strain herself too hard if she inspects her step son any further than this.

“He’s not just cultivating by absorbing the spirit qi around him, he’s also using the force of the qi around us to temper his soul power…” seeing the looks of curiosity around her, the golden-pupiled motherly beauty starts explaining what she saw through the abilities of her eyes, her voice carrying the faintest hint of confusion as she fails to wrap around her head just how is this step son of hers doing such thing.

Hearing these words, the rest of their group couldn’t help but discuss the young man among themselves, their enthusiastic tone revealing just how important this person is to each and every single one of them, their eyes burning with a mix of emotions, pride, love, and the desire to reach the same level as him, as they stare at that figure.

One of the ladies, while sharing the same sentiment, couldn’t help but feel it a little bit stronger than the rest, especially the pride and love for the young man, the reason being that it is she who brought him into this world.

‘He’s grown into a real fine gentleman~~~’ Su Meiyao thought to herself as she watches her beloved son exerting an extreme amount of force, practically clearing out the entire area around him from the infinity of qi in this dimension, which is already an impressive feat, not to mention that through the strength of his soul power alone, he managed to find a way for him to bring all of them to layers of the Infinite Qi Dimension they can only dream of reaching with their current cultivation levels.

‘It seems like the twenty-first layer is the current limit for them for now…’ feeling his soul power trembling from the torrential assault of the raging waves of spirit qi, Su Xiaotian thought to himself, feeling a little bit of a pity as he is well aware that he can also cultivate in the twenty-second layer now.

Of course, he doesn’t let it get to his head too much as he feels just as relieved that he can now cultivate with his family from now on without being separated by the distance of multiple layers in this massive place, him seeing them from a distance, something that brought unprecedented relief to him, far more than he had ever expected.

Hence, also the reason why he felt the need to focus so much on tempering his soul power with the violent strength of the Infinite Qi Dimension, a thought that would never occur to him had he not had the desire to bring these ladies, his companion and family, along with him.

‘I just need to let in spirit qi little by little inside the protection, that way, even if it is more powerful than the lower layers, they can still handle it in small quantities…’ he thought to himself as he returns to cultivation as well, seeing as the amount of spirit qi entering the protective barrier made by his soul power doesn’t harm the ladies in the slightest.

Meanwhile, seeing that he entered an entranced state with the swirling mass of crimson-tainted qi now gently dancing around him, the ladies also start focusing on their cultivation, the idea of standing at the same realm as him motivating them to no end, prompting them to enter a deep meditation state as well, elevating the speed of their improvements to new levels.

‘What a surprise…’ he mutters to himself as he thinks of doing something, multiple smaller figures identical to himself coming out of his body as he proceeds with what he plans on doing, multiple nascent sources, fused with his soul, starting to cultivate, pushing the speed of his cultivation faster than ever before.

[Outer Manifestation]

[Info: Lets out a specific number of nascent sources from inside the body, nascent source outside the body increases the user’s stats. Can now practice qi and soul cultivation relying on the user. Improves user’s cultivation speed by 25% for each source cultivating at the same time. When not cultivating, each source passively raises all stats by ten percent, and when manifested outside the body, the boost of each source goes up to 25%]

[Progress: Early State (Focusing a source on one of the following tasks will provide the following buff: Focus on cultivation will increase cultivation speed by 25%, non-focus state will passively increase stats by 10% and active combat state will increase stats by 25% at the cost of increased qi consumption)]

Despite his nascent sources falling into only ten after the original twenty merged by each yin and yang pair, it only serves to make its effects more prominent than ever before, pushing his cultivation speed by a total of two hundred and fifty percent, making Su Xiaotian smile as he felt like with the help of his nascent sources, then cultivating here won’t be any different from when he’s cultivating on the twenty second layer.

‘There’s also this…’ a smile formed from his lips as he also notices the changes happening to the part of his body that expands outside of his actual flesh, his pedestal, expanding ever-so-slowly, yet also constantly, every time he completes a cycle of cultivation, making him an odd sense of omnipotence within the small area that is enclosed by his own pedestal, as if everything within it bends over and is governed by his will and his will alone.

It is also these very same improved senses that allow him to pick up on the changes on his own body, the surging Primordial Nihility Transcendent Qi, the excited soul power, and the restless physique, all pointing to something important, a step that he never expected he would reach in an all too fast a time.

‘Soon… I will reach the Intermediate State soon…’ he added in his mind before he returns to his cultivation, the massive amount of spirit qi swirling towards himself looking like a black hole devouring everything around it from far away, everything that this black hole is devouring gradually being turned into his strength, strands of Primordial Nihility Transcendent Qi forming within his core before it travels around his body, refining not only his flesh, but his spirit and soul as well.
