The Eternal battle

Chapter 40: First Step, Gathering realm!!



" What happened? "

Tom and Frances did not understand what had happened, and they did not understand how Steve suddenly burned and what is these flam that turned him to ashes in an instant.

"An incomplete first-grade treasure? This is really unexpected. I didn't think there was anything like this in this world. You really surprised me."

Shi Tu emerged from the explosion dust that unexpectedly did not affect anything except Shi Tu who lost two fingers of his left hand.

"You! How did you survive this explosion? It is a very valuable treasure that can kill any life been within a 3m."

Francis looked at Shi Tu like he saw a ghost and couldn't believe his eyes

This was a very rare treasure and a precious gift that their master gave to Steve in order to complete the mission

If he avoided the explosion, he would accept it somehow, but he exploded and came out alive!! All he lost was two fingers

"Hahaha, you will not understand even if I told you and you do not have to understand because ants have no right to know anything, especially ants that are about to die."

Weren't these his words to Shi Tu a while ago, how it turned to them so quickly?

Tom and Francis wanted to run away but couldn't move at all as if something was holding them

No, not that they could not move, but rather that their bodies didn't dare to move as if they were subject to an entity stronger than them. This was the same feeling that they felt in front of their master, the feeling as if they were not important at all and were not equal to anything

With a demonic smile, Shi Tu pointed his right hand at Tom in the shape of a gun

"Bam"

"Ahaaaaaaa"

Just like Steve, Tom burned and turned to ashes in an instant

Francis stared at Shi Tu as if he was looking at a monster

"Bam"

Shi Tu did not spare Francis, also turning him to ashes

Three small bags fell on the ground, of course Shi Tu intended to preserve them or that they would share the fate of their owners to turn into ashes.

Shi Tu picked up the three bags and inspected their contents which surprised him as he had not expected them to carry all this with them

In total there were 6 incomplete first-grade pill along with three Life Blasting pill, this was an unexpected harvest for Shi Tu.

Shi Tu felt happy because if he hadn't been able burn his life essence, he would have died without a grave if the three of them swallowed the pills or Steve had succeeded in blowing up the place.

Although this cost him five years of his life for every one, the profits were worth it, so with these pills he could renew his life essence and even increase his strength significantly.

Shi Tu looked at the ring on his finger and was sure that this ring is not normal and that he has a hand in this especially because the mortals usually cannot control the life essence and burn it as Shi Tu does, after hearing Alice and the shadow guards description of his condition he decided to ask Alice's father Later, where did he get this ring from? Because something like this cannot have a normal origin and may be equal to the three Great Treasures.

'Damn that ghost, how does he have so much luck? Even throughout my entire life, I have not seen any of the three great treasures and heard about them only, but he does not own one of them, but also possesses another treasure that may not be less than the three great treasures.'

Shi Tu left the villa and pointed with his hand before four people appeared in front of him, two of them kneeling while the other two bowed.

"Sir"

"Sir"

" Your Majesty "

" Your Majesty "

Shi Tu looked at the two people who were not kneeling because they were from Shadows Garden but their rank was not high so they had to at least bow to show their respect to the head of the demon.

"The competition has ended due to a violation of the Laws of Shadows Garden. The bodies of your master and two of the elders have turned to ashes. Go back to your masters and say I am waiting for a good explanation of what happened or that they have to face the consequences."

The two people did not say anything before they left

"You both convey my message to the former head og the demon."

Shi Tu said some words to them to pass on and then left

Shi Tu quickly headed to a hotel, booked a room and started showering and eating

Shi Tu cross-legged sat on the bed in a meditation position and took out the six pills he had obtained

Usually, in order to refine any pill, energy or the spiritual power must be used in order to ignite the flame, as various herbs contain a certain amount of energy, so any pill, even if incomplete, retains some energy besides the medicinal effect

What meant by energy varies from person to person depending on the cultivation system they practice. There are four types of energy that are most common

Qi

Void power

Mana

Destruction power

Of course, each type of energy is also divided into many types. For example, the most common types of qi are demonic qi, life qi or elemental qi, and the same applies to the other three types.

But at a high level, there are cultivation systems that require several types of energy at the same time, so for Transcendent, all types are directly described as energy.

Previously, Shi Tu cultivated using qi and void power, and happened that these pills contain qi, so it was a perfect fit for Shi Tu.

No matter how different the cultivation system, there is one shared step to all systems, and that is the first step, foundation building

The first realm of the first step is the gathering realm which is simply the absorption of energy in order to open up the veins inside the body

There are nine levels and each level require the opening of 6 veins

Shi Tu put the six pills in front of him and closed his eyes

Usually the first step is feeling the energy and trying to control it, and this step usually takes some time, but for Shi Tu, who understands energy well, there was no challenge and he was able to easily sense and control energy.

Although controlling energy and extracting it from the pills was not easy, these pills were not complete, so their consistency and stability were weak, making it easier for Shi Tu to extract qi from them.

Shi Tu began slowly absorbing the energy and there were no problems during the operation especially with Shi Tu's experience because it would be a mockery if he couldn't penetrate the gathering realm easily.

Shi Tu chose a vein and began to direct the qi to him and fill it with it and after about ten minutes he opened the first vein

There was nothing important during the process and Shi Tu didn't even encounter any problems and it was no different from the previous one

After another ten minutes the second vein was opened

The third vein

Fourth vein

Fifth vein

Sixth vein

Seventh vein

The eighth vein

After consuming all the energy stored in the six pills, Shi Tu managed to reach the first level of the gathering realm after opening eight veins

Shi Tu didn't care much about his foundation or the purity of the energy because he could improve it later on as long he didn't reach the Refinement Realm all he wanted was evidence to show to Alice's father.

Alice's father spent thousands of years unable to reach the gathering realm so if Shi Tu did it, it would increase his credibility

"Hooo"

Shi Tu quietly exhaled and examined his body, amazed that there were no impurities

Even if the foundation of Shi Tu is greatly unstable and the energy is impure, it is impossible not to cleanse some impurities, especially since he has a mortal human body
