Chapter 53 - Fire Cultivation Practice

Vincent closed the [Status] window.

He started at the [Great All-Strengthener Potion] for a while before he resolved himself for the pain and drank the potion

As he drank the potion, He could feel it flow around his body.

It felt cold.

As the liquid settled within his body, The Potion started its process.

The pain was………. Mild.

///

The degree of pain he felt was moving at a fluctuating pace.

He would feel annoying stings around the body, Then it would suddenly increase to painful spasm of his muscles, It would then reduce to a smooth vibrating experience.

His muscles and veins were strained to the point that his veins could be seen from his neck.

This continued for about 2 minutes before his body finally settled, Vincent didn't move for a few seconds before he opened his mouth and steam began to leave through it.

All in All the process of strengthening was like the process of Assimilation of the [Planar Giants] bloodline.

After all the steam had left his mouth, Vincent stood from his meditative posture and stretched his muscles.

“Wow, That felt great!” he said as he clenched and released his fists.

Vincent could feel that he was more powerful than before.

Before, At the time when he had assimilated the [Planar Giant] Bloodline, His punches carried around 4000 Pounds of force, but now it's above 6000 Pounds almost reaching 7000 Pounds.

“So this is the strength of the [Great All-Strengthener Potion]. It's very powerful” Vincent said in awe.

[It truly is, Although the strength you gained isn't as much as the one an average person receives, it's still well above my expectation]

'Even I didn't expect it to give me this much strength, It must have improved my [Planar Giant] muscles”

Then Vincent began to test out his strength, After familiarizing himself with his new strength, He sat down on the grassy plains.

'Instructor Pryde said this place is for me to train, Might as well do so'

'But before that.'

Assuming a lying pose on the ground, Vincent spread out his ether and absorbed it back. He did so in hopes of creating some sort of resonance technique.

On his first try, He received slightly blurry images, so he continued to practice the technique on a small range until he got familiar with the technique.

After a few minutes, He achieved his desired result.

'This should be enough, Now the resonance time'

So he did so, Vincent spread about 10% of his enormous Ether Capacity thin and formed a circular range of about 300 m around himself.

Then he worked on the time for a resonance.

His first resonance completion time was 1 second, But with his mana control and high reserves, he managed to shorten it to 0.3 seconds.

It felt like a slight trickle in his head since he had to go through 300 meters of information at once.

But it was something he could get used to

Completing his task, Vincent stood from his lying position and then began to warm up.

Sets of lunges, push-ups, and stretching.

Then he began training.

First his Ether control then the Fire and lightning techniques.

He dared not to train [Portal Maker], He wasn't sure that no one was watching him.

Something he reminded himself to ask [Akashic] when he returns to his room later.

For his Mana Control Training, It was divided into two parts.

First, he used the training he had been using since when he reincarnated/transmigrated into this world which he derived from what he had read in his past life.

He directed his Ether from his Ether Pool outwards, and he began to mold it into different shapes.

As he began he realized that it was much easier to perform for a long period than before.

Then Vincent remembered that his ether pool and ether control were vastly better than before, so it wasn't a mystery why the practice was easier to achieve.

Since it became easy, He decided to end the practice and move on to the second part of the training.

This part was gotten from the [Fire Planar Giant] and the [Lightning Planar Giant] memories.

He would have to increase the Ether in his Ether Flow.

Naturally, A small amount of Ether already goes on through the body starting from the Ether pool at the core, forming an Ether Flow/Chain/System.

This passively Augments and improves the strength of the body.

When the Ether Pool increases in capacity, so does the Augment.

The technique runs on the idea of intensifying the Ether in the Ether Chain without the need for a rise in the Ether pool, Therefore enhancing the Augment of the Physical body.

This technique needs an adequate amount of Ether control and capacity because the practitioner has to be careful not to overfill the Ether Chain or may suffer damage or even a break

Hence, when Vincent began to practice this technique he took it slowly.

First, he scantily increased the Ether in the Ether Flow connected to his hands and he could immediately feel the warmness in his hands.

So he outstretched his hands and punched.

His punch caused the wind to move forward, but it wasn't at a far range nor an Intensity high enough to cause high damage.

But it proved the Augment the technique spoke of.

As long as he practiced the technique, Vincent had faith that in the future, his punches would be a force to reckon, particularly coupled with [Ether Burst].

His punches would have an AOE effect.

The thought of that made Vincent pity his future enemies.

Getting his mind off that, He continued to practice the technique for an hour before he wasn't able to do so anymore.

After that, he went on to the flame cultivation technique, the [Fire Planar Giant] used.

The Cultivation Technique had two parts

First, He had to convert the Attributeless Ether brought about from the pool into Fire Attribute Ether then condense it in the core to form a Flame Core.

Although Vincent didn't need to do that since he took the [Fire Planar Giant] Flame Core.

Which he just learned that he could do.

Besides the Fire Core, There was also a Lightning Core he had taken from the [Lightning Planar Giant]

So he chose to move on to the second part of the technique.

The second part was to convert more attributeless Ether into Fire attribute Ether and then compile to the point the Fire Core becomes full.

Afterward, he has to combine all the Fire Attribute Ether in the core to form only one blazing Fire Attribute Ether Flame.

Then that flame would need more Fire Attribute to grow and move onto the next stage.

This is called the [Fire Core Formation Stage].

Then the process begins again for all the stages.

Amass — Fuse

Amass — Fuse

Amass — Fuse.

This method was also the same for the Lightning Cultivation Technique.

According to both Techniques, There were stages to the cultivation in which each stage was divided into low, middle, and high.

The Stages/Realms were.

Core Forming

Core Gathering

Core Condensation.

Revolving Core.

Core Formation Realm is the first stage of cultivation. At this stage, A core is built at the body center, after enough Element affixed Ether Has been amassed and combined.

Core Gathering Realm is the second stage of cultivation. Here Automatic Passive Cultivation begins.

At this stage, Elemental Affixed Ether has been combined to form one condensed Elemental Affixed Ether spark.

More Element Affixed Ether would need to be amassed and incorporated into the Core.

When the core becomes full, the Practitioner must then compress all the Affined Ether in the core into one except the already compressed core.

This would continue until all the Element Affixed Ether are like the first, Then condensation can begin.

Core Condensation Realm is the third stage. Here, the Practitioner creates more cores within his core making it a parent core.

Within each core must be a fully 3rd stage condensed Affined Ether.

This would be done until the parent core becomes full, After which the cores and Affined Ether are condensed with the first formed condensed Elemental Affixed Mana to form one singular core with a fully formed 4th stage condensed Affined Ether within the core.

The smaller but more powerful core will begin to reinforce the parent core and at the same time absorb Affined Ether into the core until it's time to condense again.

This Stage is Never Ending

The last stage of the technique made Vincent pause in Awe

'Never-Ending!'

'Meaning that it would continue to grow stronger.'

[Indeed, But I don't need to remind you that the body needs to be capable to handle such power and demand from the core.]

[This Technique is tailor-fit for the [Elemental Titans of Gaia] blood. That blood grows stronger with pressure]

'I know, And with me, I may even be able to take it to heights no other [Planar Giants] have ever reached'

[Indeed]

Vincent then stop his conversation with the system and began to practice the technique

As he started he could feel the budding core in his chest, He could feel that it was…. Inactive unlike the way he imagined.

[The Strength of the Core was too dangerous for you to assimilate while assimilating the [Planar Giants] Muscles, Memories, Ether Pool, and Soul at the same time.

Hence, I sealed it.

'I see, Thank you system'

[You're welcome Host]

'Also, System.'

[Yes Host?]

'Make it a habit to tell me about these things from now on

[Yes Host]

'Good'

Vincent focused on the inactive core again, 'Time to Jumpstart this thing'

Vincent used his Fire Affixed Ether to jumpstart his inactive core.

BOOM!

A small shockwave of fire was released from Vincent, Surprisingly the Fire didn't burn the grass.

It instead just flowed around it

Vincent opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings in awe, He found out the stage of cultivating he rather the [Planar Giant] was in.

'[Mid-Stage Core Gathering]'

*Phew×, That was such a long chapter. 1.7k words beating by second best.

Hoped all of you like the chapter

And as you can see….wait I mean read, [Planar Giants], But there's a twist.

All [Planar Giants] use the same cultivation technique, So Talent and Treasures determine how far you'll go in your cultivation.

May Joy be with you all.
