C11

Before losing consciousness, the man in white had shot a beam of golden light at Lei Ao. This golden light contained a large amount of information, and now, Lei Ao's head was aching. He did not have enough time to examine his surroundings, and quickly entered a forest to find a large tree to rest and quickly digest the information.

After organizing the information, Lei Ao divided the information into three parts.

The first was the star map he had secretly learned. The man in white had taught him the correct technique to form the seal, as well as how to control the power within it.

Unfortunately, the man in white didn't describe the name of this technique and didn't pass him any of the other star maps.

The second step was to use a refining incantation. The white-clothed man's intention was for Lei Ao to refine that half piece of giant beast nail in the desert. If he used it properly, it would be a rare treasure.

Although this was what the introduction said, Lei Ao still felt extremely displeased. Without his consent, the white clad man had thrown this terrifying item into his body. If not for the protection of the purple phoenix, that drop of golden blood would not have been able to suppress his nails at all.

Third, he gave Lei Ao a general introduction to the situation of the Practitioners. This was what Lei Ao was most anxious to know right now, so he had completely ignored the first two paragraphs.

Practitioners referred to the process of absorbing the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth through a special method. They used the body as a container and stored a powerful force within the body. This power was called zhenqi and most people called kung fu.

Once one accumulated a certain amount of power, it was possible to communicate through mental energy, thus controlling the power to rush through the meridians in the body. After the meridians were opened, the rate at which one absorbed Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth increased exponentially. In the world of training, that spiritual energy was also known as the primordial spirit.

The Primordial Spirit was located in the Violet Palace and the Violet Palace was located in the human brain. In other words, it was the sea of consciousness.

The main reason why Qi warriors trained was to establish their Zifu. The larger the Zifu, the more profound one's power would be. However, for some gifted geniuses or those who obtained some sort of fortuitous gain, their Violet Palace Realm would transform into a small world.

The probability of this happening was about one in a billion. As for the difference between a small world and a Violet Palace Realm, it was that a small world could absorb the spiritual essence of heaven and earth faster. At the same time, it could also comprehend the Concept of Heavenly Dao by evolving its own small world.

The man in white didn't reveal much about the miniature world; he only mentioned one thing: When a person with a miniature world reaches a certain point in their strength, the miniature world can evolve into another world.

That desert is a small world...

When he discovered the small world, he was already in the canyon. At that time, because he wanted to secretly learn the white-clothed person's star map, he wanted to control the power in his body to break open the meridians, and in the end, the power gathered in his brain.

This was the location of the Zifu, but it had become a minor world. If what the white-clothed person said was true, then the conditions to own a small world were extremely harsh. First, a peerless genius was perceiving the evolution of the Heavenly Dao, and second, he had obtained some sort of fortuitous encounter.

Lei Ao didn't understand the Heavenly Dao from the start. The only explanation for this was that he had obtained a fortuitous encounter. On the other hand, he had lived in Sang Mo Village for seventeen years and his life had always been ordinary. If one were to talk about fortuitous encounters, he could only start after he had escaped the village and entered the underground river.

Could it be the poison fruit?

A light bulb lit up in Lei Ao's mind. If that fruit could even attract a purple phoenix, then it definitely wasn't an ordinary fruit. It might even be a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root from the legends. Furthermore, the whole tree was golden, with only one leaf and one fruit. This strange phenomenon alone was enough to prove that it was not ordinary.

Whether it was it or not, the poison fruit had already been consumed. Lei Ao also possessed a small world, so there was no point in continuing to delve into it.

The last introduction the man in white gave was the cultivation level of the practitioner. From its height, it was divided into:

Comprehension of the Dao, Awakening from the World, Desire, Devil's Grief, Returning to the True Realm, Immortality, and Ascension.

There were a total of seven realms. Each realm was divided into nine levels, and only those who had reached the great circle of perfection of the ninth level would be able to advance to the next realm.

Perhaps it was out of guilt, but the man explained the current situation to Lei Ao. He was at the peak of the ninth level of enlightenment, just a step away from Transcending Mortality Stage, but only at the third level of enlightenment.

The reason for that was because the white-clothed man had forcefully sealed the golden blood along with the giant claw in Lei Ao's small world. At that time, in order to suppress the fingernails, the gigantic beast and the white-clothed person had used the desert as a battlefield. Fortunately, in the end, the phoenix and the blood blade had appeared, allowing them to suppress the nails.

During the battle, the giant beast's fingernails kept clashing against each other while the star maps and the black fog clashed, forcibly cutting Lei Ao's small world from its original ten-meter size to six hundred meters in radius.

Although crossing over was painful, but it was also equivalent to succeeding Lei Ao and evolving into a world, thus raising his realm to the ninth level of enlightenment in one go. If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't keep up with his cultivation, he would have had a chance of breaking through to the Mortal Realm.

Power, that was the first white mist to appear in the desert. Lei Ao looked through his primordial spirit, and saw that the mist was so thin that he could barely see it. If he wanted to advance to Transcending Mortality Stage, he would have to cover the entire small world with mist.

When he finished digesting the information, it was already dark. Lei Ao jumped down from the tree and randomly shot a rabbit to satisfy his hunger. Only then did he get the chance to pay attention to his surroundings.

Although he did not know what kind of place it was, at least he could see the signs of humans. Not far away from the forest, Lei Ao saw a city. At this time, the city gates were probably already closed. Lei Ao had been drifting in the underground river for over a year. His hair that reached his waist had already grown to his heels, and his face was full of stubble.

After finding a small river to wash himself in, Lei Ao leaned against a tree and dozed off, preparing to enter the city the next day.

He didn't know what had happened to his grandfather and the villagers. It had been more than a year, and what should have happened had already happened. Even if he went back by himself, he probably wouldn't be able to change anything.

Lei Ao knew that he had already become a Qi warrior and that he would no longer have much to do with the mortal world. After recalling it for a while, he quickly fell asleep.

At daybreak, Lei Ao was awoken by a burst of pain. Half of his fingernail in the small world actually wanted to rush out, but now it was entangled in a battle of golden blood.

"Fuck, I can't sleep soundly." Lei Ao cursed. Following the instructions the man in white had given him, he started to refine the first half of the fingernail.

The refining method was very simple. Those who had a small world only needed to mobilize the power in the small world and assimilate the refined items into a part of the small world.

After all, it was the first time Lei Ao had used his primordial spirit to control a small world, and his power was pitifully low. Every time the white mist got close to the giant beast's nails, it would be blocked out by the black fog.

Just as Lei Ao was panicking, the purple phoenix let out a long cry and flew into the small world. Without a word, it spat out a massive amount of purple flames to burn the giant beast's nails.

At the same time, the blood blade was not willing to be left alone as it rushed forward with a terrifying killing intent. The sharp blade qi was constantly on the fingernails, and with every slash, the black color became weaker.

Seeing this, Lei Ao immediately controlled the white mist to wrap around his fingernails. Wherever the white mist went, Phoenix also voluntarily withdrew her flames to give way, but she still stayed in the air, eyeing the fingernails like a tiger eyeing its prey.

Perhaps knowing that it was going to be refined, the giant beast struggled unwillingly with its nails, and the blood blade slashed down ferociously once again. The phoenix pecked a few times, and after several hours of hard work, the nails were finally refined into a small part of the world.

At this time, the white mist in the small world had almost completely disappeared. Although it was recovering, its speed was pitifully slow. Lei Ao was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to stand up.

After the giant beast's fingernails were refined, they turned into a mountain and stood at the edge of the small world. The phoenix and the blood sword also did not leave the small world.

The phoenix transformed into a purple sun as it floated in the air. The blood saber transformed into a hundred feet long blade. It quietly stabbed into the base of the mountain and unknowingly emitted a powerful killing intent.

As for that drop of golden liquid, after completing its mission, it also settled down within the small world. It turned into a small golden lake, giving the entire desert a bit of vitality.

After completing all of this, Lei Ao heard a loud roar in his ears. In his mind was a paragraph of information, which included the method to use the giant beast's fingernail, and a move.

The method came from the golden blood. It didn't seem to need Lei Ao to refine it, it automatically became a part of a small world. And the person who left this message should be the white-clothed person.

As for that move, it was obtained after refining the giant beast's nails. Lei Ao was stunned. Although he had secretly learnt the white-clothed man's move, he had never thought that he would obtain a giant beast martial art.
