Chapter 36: Nascent Step

After a brief tour of their special sleeping quarters, Eras soon led the sibling duo to choose a vacant room.

This room consisted of few beds, intending for it to be more of a resting area of full squadron members.

However, Cain and Kali were able to still choose this room on the account of their own captain badges.

With their room finally settled on, Eras went back to his own quarters, leaving the sibling duo alone to explore their room.

Currently, Cain and Kali were slowly walking around their room, noting everything their eyes came across. For just a mere resting quarter, the room was quite large and spacious.

Even if a four-man squadron stayed here, the room would be able to easily accommodate them and then some.

Besides the room's space, the design was also of satisfactory quality. Weapons, basic cultivation manuals, and other various books were neatly lined in their own sections.

Taking particular notice of these weapons, Cain remarked that the weapons and cultivation manuals were as basic as one can get.

It was something he could see any of the other regular Spirit Opening Kong Clan members using.

Thinking to himself, Cain assumed this must be for the captains who want to add more coverage basis for whatever team they're leading.

All in all, this room far beats sitting stiffly in some dank, dark cave.

After a few minutes of shuffling about the room, Cain was finally ready to further their plans. Turning over to Kali, he noticed her leisurely sitting upon one of the beds.

As their gazes locked, Kali stretched her shoulders, leaking out a tiny sigh of contentment, and said,

"This room ruly is suitable for a one-night stay. But afterward, what plan do you have in mind?"

Taking a moment, Cain ponders the various thoughts swirling within his mind.

He had thought of several options they could potentially go on. But, instead of telling them to Kali, Cain was first interested in her own thoughts.

No matter how excited or how much pre-knowledge Cain had about this type of universe, he's fully aware his experience is basically nothing.

Though he is wonderfully adapting at a rapid pace, Cain knows Kali might have better insight into their situation than he does. After all, she was the one who half planned out their escape to this planet.

Considering all of this, Cain told Kali, "Before my ideas, let me hears yours first. I'm sure our minds will end up being similar anyways."

"Well, let's see….I had some thoughts in my mind since we first ever got here." Kali's expression briefly flashed a look of ponderance.

But just a mere second later, a grin that resembles more beast than human broke out on her face. "I can guess what you're thinking of Cain. Using this war as our sharpening tool! In all honesty, let's just make this our only night here. Afterward, we'll go out and start testing against that arrogant tribe. Maybe we can even find where those people reside. But before any of that, we must complete our breakthrough to the Nascent Formation realm. Our Spirit Qi comprehension already hits its limit wall, no point in delaying any longer."

Cain didn't even need a second to contemplate this. He promptly nodded and added on,

"Truly, I wonder just how crazy our cultivation is. Rushing through the Spirit Opening realm like it's nothing. Although, I'm not one hundred percent certain you and I can cross over great realms to fight. And even if we can, revealing that kind of prowess would be troublesome. Thankfully, with this room, I can cover up our cultivation quite easily."

After saying so, Cain opened his palm and brought his Chaotic Emerald.

Pouring soul energy inside it, Cain swiftly seized Chaos Energy, causing a faint green shimmer to light up their whole room.

In that instance, Cain shot a stream of Chaos Energy towards the ceiling. Like it was getting sucked into a vacuum, the stream of Chaos Energy absorbed into the ceiling, releasing a layer of an bright green light.

Kali watched in slight awe as the layer of green Chaos Energy rapidly enveloped their entire room.

Three seconds passed, and the room was entirely covered in a barrier of concealment Chaos Energy.

The bright green glow exuding from the Chaos Energy gave their room a new kind of atmosphere, one that felt almost ethereal to be under.

Kali shot her eyes back onto Cain, raising an eyebrow in slight curiosity. "I know that gem could hide our cultivation but, you didn't say it could do even this. The room also looks even better now."

"Oh this? It's just another ability the book informed about. Under here, nobody will sense us reaching the Nascent Formation realm."

Cain shrugged his shoulders while explaining.

At 5% Chaos Energy control, Cain didn't have any offensive ability. However, that was all made up by the very helpful support abilities that even the most powerful cultivators would dream of having.

"Well, that's absolutely perfect for now and the future." Kali's grin grew wider before suddenly calming down to a more focused look.

"Thinking about it, once we reach Nascent Formation, let's take the rest of the time to finally cultivate our manuals. With these divine manuals, we can probably take on even more opponents at the same time."

Cain gave a silent nod in agreement, simultaneously feeling pump over the excitement of eventually being able to control the element of Lightning.

Focusing on the present, Cain stimulated his spatial ring, bring out two brilliant green crystal beads.

The green crystal beads appeared on Cain's other hand and immediately caused a significant change in the air.

Pure, rich energy, far higher than any vicious beast cores or the Qi from the air emitted from the green crystal bead.

Kali's eyes brightly lit up when seeing the beads. "Oh? So you want to use the Profound Beads to breakthrough?"

"Indeed," Cain said while also taking out his Dragon Charm. "Since our comprehension abilities is a non-issue, that only leaves the amount of energy we need to reach Nascent Formation. By my estimation, back when we were in the cave, that would take us at most a couple of days to do so. And that's if we purely focus on cultivating. The beads will cut out that time, leaving us room to practice our manuals. Furthermore, we don't have to worry about our foundation becoming unstable because I can purify the berserk energy within here."

"Sounds like a plan to me then; let's get started." Kali promptly agreed without even much of a thought.

She's fully aware that their time isn't free on this planet. In fact, they're quite limited, only having a measly three months to explore what they can of this Mortal Planet.

So even though they're rushing through cultivation realms, Kali saw it as having no other options.

At that moment, Cain closed his eyes for a moment. Recalling what he did with the vicious beast cores, Cain then began pulling Chaos Energy directly towards his Dragon Charm.

A pure white light mixed with slight rays of green sparked from the Dragon Charm.

The holy power from the Dragon Charm and Chaos Energy perfectly blended together once again.

And this combined energy travel directly through Cain's arm, pouring directly into the Profound Crystal Beads.

It didn't take long at all for the Profound Crystal Beads to get purified.

When only around four seconds passed, both crystal beads had gained a pure white Light aura. This aura signifies the process was a complete success.

Utter excitement could be seen on both Cain and Kali's faces. However, instead of celebrating this small victory, the sibling duo immediately got to work.

Cain tossed one of the Profound Crystal Beads over to Kali and then got into his cultivation position.

As he went to sit down, Kali almost instantly joined him. Now in her hands were both the crystal beads and the Dragon Charm.

Right at that instance, the sibling duo traded one final look at each other.

From here on out, they no longer would be mere Spirit Opening cultivators. They will take that massive step thousands of other Spirit Opening cultivators desperately want and become Nascent Formations masters!

All through just their eyes could Cain and Kali communicate these emotions to each other. Their sibling bond isn't anything casually understood.

After that brief little moment, Cain and Kali returned back their focus and stimulated their Dragon Charms.

Rays of bright light bounced off the green-covered walls as Cain and Kali immediately attempted a breakthrough!

As he prepared to breakthrough in a single leap, Cain suddenly recalled what he was supposed to normally do at this level.

At the peak of the Spirit Opening realm, any cultivator would need to perceive the stronger form of energy in the air, Nascent Qi.

To achieve this boundary, said cultivator would need to fall into an enlightened Spirit Qi state. The enlightened Spirit Qi state is the total accumulation a cultivator has with their Spirit Qi comprehension.

Once one finally reaches the very limit of Spirit Qi comprehension, their minds will encounter the Nascent barrier boundary.

This barrier boundary is what separates thousands of Spirit Opening cultivators from ever taking the next step forward.

One Martial Talent simply can't be poor or even just average.

They needed to be decent enough so they could reach a sudden mental breakthrough, allowing them to push past the Nascent barrier boundary.

Once one enters the Nascent breakthrough process, time will pass like the wind.

Kali had even mentioned to him that even God Galaxies geniuses took weeks to break past the Nascent barrier boundary.

Initially, Cain was expecting to come across some slight problems before quickly plowing through it.

But as the seconds trickled by, he realized this all was far easier than he thought.

His comprehension level had already reached a level far beyond Spirit Qi, allowing him to simply ease by the Nascent Formation mental blocks.

And at the same time, the now pure energy from the Profound Crystal Bead swiftly poured into Cain, heading directly towards his Qi Sea.
