Xianxia: Why am I here?

277 Continued retreat

With 79 styles to go, Wang was facing a stressful situation not because he was rushed but rather because the fact that he had to focus on something this seriously made him less excited. He already went ahead and put in place some distinctions to make himself motivated.

From the Entry to Small Accomplishment then Great Accomplishment and eventually Perfection and he had perfection at 81 ripple types all together. At the same time, he kept training in a dedicated manner and in this way the time outside had passed more than ten years already.

“Practicing ripples is indeed strengthening me but the speed is too slow with the more ripples I focus on. At this moment even if I go on with the practice speed it would require close to a hundred years, but that is something I can be willing to do. The only issue is that at the moment, my heart is not calm anymore. Let’s spend some time doing something else first before continuing. ”

As he spoke he put aside the spear and sat down instead started to visualize the neutron star in the distance.

Sitting there immense his mind was immersed in the visualization and this proved useful as it was strengthening his mental strength. In the beginning, it was not that easy to notice but at this time the seven projections came out of his body and then collapsed before reforming as six.

The process was indeed painful as the crushing of the spirit seemed to feedback to his soul too. Thankfully the visualization was provided usefully and when the six projections stood before him each was generating enough pressure to be feared.

He had not only improved his spirit before he focused on visualization he had completed more than 5 ripples and each has a unique law attacked to it. In this way, his spirit was already strong, but he was aware that the three would take time too. After they were completed he would have achieved the entry stage in the 81 ripples.

Sharpening his mind was also a smart move on his part as it would allow him to comprehend more ripples in the future. The improvement in spirit would in essence make it much easier to view the ripples and how they operated within the neutron star.

In all aspects, the move he had taken was capable of allowing him to save a lot of time but the question that he had to ask himself was how far he was willing to go for it.

.....

Thinking about it from the perspective of an outsider is easier but how many would be willing to crush their spirit and fuse them back over and over until only one was left and perhaps would have achieved the golden body state? It is the standard of spirit completely taking form and the spear intent with domain fused within would make it easier to control the area around oneself to the place the spirit perception reached the maximum.

It is an advanced version of a domain but has unique functions the domain would not be capable of accomplishing.

“Practicing the mind is more taxing on the spirit since it has to keep visualization of the neutron star all the time, but the benefits can not be denied at all.”

From the moment that Wang started to visualize the neutron star, his body seemed to have undergone rapid change as his cells were slowly developing toward the ripple direction. At this moment he had introduced the first two ripples strangulation and destruction and to his surprise, his body did not go the way he had thought in the past, his cells just underwent a process of destruction and reconstruction without his knowledge of what was happening.

He however also repaired that the spirit power he had in his body seemed to be fused with every part of the body and in the past perhaps he could not realize this because the fusion was minimal.

At this moment the fusion was something he could feel and at the same time, his consciousness was more active all around the cells.

Just sitting there his body was indeed starting to imitate the neutron star in all aspects. It would be smart to say that the moment anyone came into the underground cave and looked at Wang’s back they could feel like a huge sun was in his body and the same time even face difficulty moving as they approached him due to pressure and gravity.

He has yet to reach the stage where he could really manifest as a neutron star, but at this moment he was more like a minor prototype. The inner world in his body had also melted and it was forming something else, but he could feel the figure seemed to be slowly taking shape of a neutron star.

Visualization on his level seemed to be more than what he had thought and thus his future direction was changing direction.

More than that, his bones seemed to have become hit, like steel under the heat being refined with the muscles shedding some dark substance that evaporated on leaving the skin surface. At this moment many changes were happening but the most important was that his physique had just been pushed further. Other than becoming stronger, his body seemed to be disposing of some impurities that brought about impairments in human beings’ physical talent.

The Divine beasts are born stronger than humans or they tend to have stronger bloodlines that ensure that they would teach a certain level upon birth just like their daughter who could have become a grandmaster without doing anything.

Wang’s efforts on her allowed her to slowly develop towards an even stronger physique in the end, and with the resources of clans like Divine beasts he has heard of in legends, only time was the key for them to reach certain realms, and this is all due to some lack of physical talent limitations.

With the rapid changes in his body, he felt more relaxed and even the absorption of energy from all around become more natural compared to before. Just sitting there he seemed to have become a black hole that kept devouring energy nonstop.

It entered his body from all directions and with the accumulation, his cells seemed the ones more excited but the evolution would take a lot of energy and that was not his main priority at all as this place had high-quality energy.

He was just wondering about his next course of action since after his physique made an advancement it would require him to keep adapting but that would not be the case if the could make the activities of his body enhanced through serious practice with the spear.

At this moment it was indeed the best move to take and he could try to see how much he has gained from being in the visualization stage all this time. The practice method was indeed more complex but the power that comes with it is enough for him to be willing to go through it without complaints.

He has always been proud of his strong physique and he seemed more tempted to start practicing the remaining parts of the body art but pushed it aside for the moment.

Even if he advanced it perhaps it could fail to rival his psyche and he would wait for the innate substance to see what happens then.

Picking up his spear he thrust it toward it, he was casual just to see the amount of power his body wielded without even going on to use the 5 ripples he had comprehended.

“Destructive!” and he examined as he admired how the top of the spear seemed to make the underground cave space pale as a single swing but unfortunately he could not chase space to crack at all, as the existence of the huge undergoing itself was not shaken by the neutron star let alone him.

“In the next six decades, we should be able to add more than 10 ripples and experience a rapid improvement in strength.”

This was what he thought but he had to do the hard work for it to be realized otherwise it would just be the passage of time and nothing good gained as he was aware his time limit was almost approaching and he could be kicked out of this space and before that happened he had agenda to have at least gone beyond his current self and reached even the edge of the mid-level neutron star.

“With my current strength, I wonder where I can rank in the primitive world. Ooh well, it does not matter anyway. The most important thing for me is to become stronger rather than well-known. Fame would not help him accomplish his goals at all rather just makes others target him. If not careful even one would end up dying faster because of it. ” Wang was still rational anyway, all these years he has managed to train his mentality to the current level, how could it be easy to be tempted by futile things.

He was looming further beyond the neutron star, which even his eyesight could not reach.
