Chapter 61 - Arduous Cultivation

Before Mo Yan'er cultivated in her room, she first guided Tatsuya and Fenlong into their own rooms. Tatsuya also planned to seclude himself for a while, because he planned to talk to the red-haired girl.

The room where Tatsuya stayed looked pretty good. It was luxurious in several lots of ways, which he already expected from the mansion of the Imperial Family of the Divine Phoenix Empire. They were allowed to stay here as long as they wanted.

Tatsuya slowly closed his eyes, as he dragged his soul consciousness to the separate space of the Sky Poison Pearl. The entire process took an instant because the Sky Poison Pearl had helped Tatsuya.

The Sky Poison Pearl and the Mirror of Samsara had already gone back to their active state. This is primarily because of the nourishment of the Primal Origin Energy from Tatsuya's boundless profound veins.

At the moment, Tatsuya only knew a few things about the Mirror of Samsara. He already managed to decipher one of the skill of the Mirror of Samsara. This heavenly profound treasure can allow Tatsuya to actively see the Karma.

The Sky Poison Pearl has five different abilities: it can cure all poisons, it can purify everything, it can locate natural treasures, it has a near infinite storage, and it can release different godly poisons. It might only be rank fifth, but the poisons it can release is deadly enough to completely destroy all life in this universe.

Tatsuya's soul consciousness appeared inside the storage of the Sky Poison Pearl. There wasn't anything noteworthy inside the space, there was only a different kind of herbs, items, and even weapons. However, every single one of that is useless in Tatsuya's eyes.

A red beam of light instantly dashed towards Tatsuya. It appeared hurried, while the red beam of light formed the figure of a red-haired girl. She was the Divine Realm Practitioner that Tatsuya spared.

"…" Tatsuya and the red-haired girl looked at each other silently.

"…Why did you spare me?" The red-haired girl slowly asked.

"…I spared you for now." Tatsuya said.

"I knew it. Is there anything I can help you with?" The red-haired girl wryly smiled.

"Nothing. I'll give you a chance to settle your blood feud with your enemy, but it depends if you'll be useful to me." Tatsuya added.

"…I came from the Star God Realm. I want to kill the current Realm King of that realm." She gritted her teeth.

Tatsuya appeared to be deep in thought. Tatsuya initially planned to kill the red-haired girl because she provoked and offended him. However, Tatsuya's current plan just coincidentally needed her help.

The Mirror of Samsara allowed Tatsuya to see the Karma in the world. Tatsuya sensed the karma between the red-haired girl and the other heavenly profound treasure. He needs this heavenly profound treasure to further increase his strength.

Furthermore, Tatsuya had already talked to Chu Xin about the red-haired girl. Chu Xin even thanked Tatsuya that he did not kill her, because Chu Xin wanted to be the one to kill her. It seems that Tatsuya called for the right decision.

Also, he can use this red-haired girl for his plans in the upper realm. Tatsuya only needed her for her usefulness, after that Chu Xin just needed to reach the level of strength where she can personally kill her. This is Tatsuya's current arrangement in mind.

"You really did a number on my sister…" Tatsuya coldly said.

"…" The red-haired girl wryly smiled.

"I don't really know where you got your arrogance. Either way, I will help you get your physical body. After that, you will listen to my every orders." Tatsuya did not allow for any room of negotiation.

"Do I even have any choice?" The red-haired girl mumbled.

Tatsuya ignored her question, as he prepared to leave the Sky Poison Pearl. The red-haired girl had a look of hopelessness in her face, but there was a trace of excitement deep within her eyes. After all, Tatsuya gave her the opportunity to do what she wanted.

"Wait! From today onwards, I'll be your slave. I would like to tell you that my name is Xing Tong." The red-haired girl hurriedly said.

"No. You won't be my slave. After I get what I want from you, I'll free you. Then, let's see whether you can keep yourself alive from my sister's hands." Tatsuya indifferently said.

Tatsuya then vanished into thin-air, while he left the Sky Poison Pearl. Xing Tong watched him helplessly, as she felt complicated. She had tried to kill Tatsuya's sister, yet the man wanted to spare her. She also knew that it is indeed better for Chu Xin to personally kill her, lest she become her inner demon.

"I don't really care if I live after this… as long as I can kill that bastard…" She gritted her teeth.

…

Tatsuya opened his eyes, as his eyes flashed a complex look. He recalled when he became emotional before that girl back then, he came to the Sky Poison Pearl to determine whether there's something special. He was disappointed by the answer because he only felt his blood boiling when he saw Xing Tong.

"Miyuki…" Tatsuya muttered under his breath.

Tatsuya gradually had grown attached to Chu Xin. This bond, however, is not the same as his hand with Miyuki. Tatsuya only felt brotherly loved for Chu Xin. This made him realize that his feelings for Miyuki is not simply brotherly love. It was something else.

"What are these emotions for… if she wasn't here?" Tatsuya looked at the ceiling.

At this moment, Tatsuya's figure looked extremely bleak and lonely. His eyes appeared empty, while the emotion deep within his heart surfaced. This entire instability only lasted for a single instant.

"…I need to get stronger." Tatsuya determinedly said to himself.

Quintessential Realm is his only hope. It was the only path for Tatsuya's grand plan. Only by attaining the level of strength where he can ignore everything, will Tatsuya truly feel contended and happy.

Tatsuya then closed his eyes, as he began to meditate and cultivate. The profound energy around him froze and stopped flowing. At this moment, only the Primal Origin Energy is present.

Tatsuya can't easily increase his deep comprehension towards the other elements, but that doesn't apply to the lightning element. Tatsuya currently has a partial mastery over the lightning element. He can only reach the peak mastery if he got ahold of one more divine lightning.

The Death, Blood, and Tribulation. These are Tatsuya's current three divine lightning. He can freely produce every single one of them and use them as he pleases. Every stages of mastery over the lightning element comprises of three divine lightning.

It meant that the partial mastery needed at least one of the nine divine lightning. The peak mastery needed at least four of the nine divine lightning. The complete, however, needed the entire nine divine lightning.

Tatsuya had already mastered every form of the Divine Lightning Art. Upon reaching the True God Realm, Tatsuya now had an endless amount of energy which allowed him to use the Divine Lightning Art without any restraint.

"…" Tatsuya slowly stood up.

The True God realm allowed Tatsuya to possess wondrous powers. He can completely stop the profound energy from flowing. He can also create a domain of whatever element, but it won't be strong enough to instantly kill a True God, unless he used the earth or lightning element.

Tatsuya previously studied the Way of the Sword, but soon found that he can reach a high level of comprehension towards it easily. His constant connection with the Information Dimension made him too overpowered in terms of skills.

"It's too bad that I can't cheat my way in mastering the elements." Tatsuya muttered to himself.

Tatsuya know how to control the elements, but for him to reach the Base God, not only did he need to understand, he also needed to add his insights to it. He's basically creating a new set of methods about the control over the elements.

The four cultivation stages – Base God, High God, Supreme God, God of Origin – needed Tatsuya to surpass the level of multiverse in terms of comprehension over the elements. After all, every universe had a set of pre-determined laws of elements.

Tatsuya had to reach a level where he should be able to use the power of elements in whatever universe. He must attain the mastery where his understanding basically surpassed even the heavenly laws of the Primal Chaos Dimension.

This is Tatsuya's current path towards the pinnacle. It is a very hard and arduous path where Tatsuya can't even determine when he will reach even just the Base God.

Tatsuya can't use the inheritance of the True Gods or Creation Gods, because their understanding towards the elements are limited only to the laws of Primal Chaos Dimension. He can, however, use natural treasures to personally comprehend the laws.

Treasures such as Earth Dragon Jade is not simple to come by. Tatsuya doubted that even the Sky Poison Pearl won't be able to help him reach the complete mastery over the five basic lower elements.

The information in the Information Dimension allowed him to chart out his next following actions. He already knew the location of the several treasures that he can use to reach the partial mastery over the three remaining basic lower elements.

"I might even reach the peak mastery… if I'm lucky." Tatsuya thought out loud.

The treasures that reached Tatsuya's requirement are way too rare, to the point that they are basically beyond divine items. Tatsuya needed to travel to other universes, but there's no available method for such multiverse travel.

"…" Tatsuya quietly thought.

He just stood silently without any care for the world. He still needed to plan out his plan carefully. There are different variables that can affect his plan to reach the Base God realm. He needed to think of a way to make his plan more efficient and possible.
