I took my way back in a playful fashion. When Noemi and her flying beast was about to level up with me, i'd apply a short boost of speed that denied her her wish.
Though I'd have wanted to toy with my tight bitch more but sadly, the flight only lasted less than sixty breaths. All good things really had to end, I lamented within.
"I'm going to cultivate now. Go somewhere else, Noemi." i commanded to my faithful slave.
"I will stay right here, young master!" but my determined woman needed to prove her worth and stood at the gates of my domain.
"Do as you like then." i smiled at her before i went into my chambers.
The moment i got inside, i sat in a lotus position in the center of the room and my hands created complex signs then runic symbols scattered above and beneath my form.
After a mere breath, i also sang primordial mantras to strengthen the thing that i wanted to conjure.
"CREAK!"
Space and time separated before me. Even matter that made everything turned immaterial. A worthy prelude indeed.
"Time to regain my former body." i whispered and began cultivating.
Since the original owner of this body had cultivated up to the Core Formation Realm 1st Stage, then i have a choice to either continue his shambling foundation upwards or redo it to perfection.
But who was I, if not an epitome of excellence.
"BOINK!" the sound of bursting was heard once and i felt my body weaken down to the level of mortals.
If not for my one of a kind Eternal Void Heart Technique which i fashioned myself to flawlessness,
then i would have not supported the power that i summoned in this tiny place, alienated by the flows of spacetime and reality.
I closed my eyes and concentrated to gain the optimal condition for cultivation. Not just one with nature or even with a mere pond as this world, but of the whole totality of creation.
My body may not sense and perceive everything all at once but the soul sees beyond what my divine eyes could fathom.
I may have meditated for only a breath or it may have lasted for countless eternities, but i cared not.
I was so consumed in preparing what i needed to do next that i was in a state where nothing mattered but my own devices and most especially that of my purpose.
The moment i opened my eyes, i saw a collection of bright colors that swirled around my physique.
This were natural resources for cultivation from the vast dominion of worlds that resided within my own soul. But it would be an understatement to simply call it as that.
If one could see this, they would simply not believe it existed. A technique that could purge only the toxicity of essences and none of its purity.
An epic display of a true master of alchemy.
"I'm starved. Feed me." i whispered into the void and then these dazzling hues rushed towards me.
Body Tempering Realm 1st Stage!
Foundation Establishment Realm 1st Stage!
Core Formation Realm 1st Stage!
Soul Creation Realm 1st Stage!
Ascendant Realm 1st Stage!
Immortal Realm 1st Stage!
Immortal Emperor Realm 1st Stage!
Immortal Sovereign Realm 1st Stage!
Immortal Ancestor Realm 1st Stage!
Immortal Saint 1st Stage!
Immortal Saint 9th Stage!
It was not only my cultivation that has ascended but there was a deafening sound that accompanied my breakthroughs.
Like the forging of divine metals, my physique was also molded step by step into perfection.
In a blink of an eye, i had regained the cultivation of my past life. Not only in realm but also of my corresponding physique mastery that equaled that of an Immortal Saint.
This meant that i could battle barehanded without using any techniques and would win a stalemate against an Immortal Saint of my level.
The soul and the body can be used as fatal weapons in combat.
Unfortunately, too few realized this indelible truth and would just rush blindly to gain nothing but a forgery of strength.
Hopes without patience.
Wasteful!
Pitiful!
Tsk. Tsk.
Only the dreamers continued to do that.
But in the end, it was the doers and willful that reap their dreams to fruition.
I stood up and with my actions was the reestablishment of materia. The scene changed to let me see myself in the four corner of my room once more.
"Hmmm... Time to have some fun." i concluded and went out of these confines.
"Young master?" a doubting Noemi affronted my sight.
"Why Noemi? Can't you recognize me anymore?" i smiled at my lovely bitch.
Gone were the fats that entombed my form.
Since i had awoken a few days ago and restored to health a day after, so did the mountains of flesh that buried the original owner of this body.
That idiot had only reached Core Foundation Realm by gobbling precious resources down his throat. He had left behind his body untrained and in a rotting despicable state.
But now that i have fully arrived in soul and in body, a magnificent example of a Supreme Existence, then how can i tolerate such ugly imperfections.
"It's not like that, young m..."
"I know what you mean, Noemi."
"Come. Escort me to visit my fiancée."
"It has been almost a thousand years, isn't it? Not too late for a reckoning." i smiled at my good servant and went on my way to reclaim my lost bitch.
