"It felt weird."
Ken muttered as he watched the place where Mr Wang disappeared. He shook his head and returned to the house.
'By the way, system, do you have an inventory?'
[Yes, Host]
Suddenly, a panel appeared next to him, showing different boxes. Each of the boxes was empty.
He nodded and went to his bed.
He slowly opened the scroll.
The red scroll was quite big, and when he started unfolding it, the scroll could reach the door of his house.
He read the introduction of the technique at the front.
[Golden Elephant Body Technique]
[Middle Level- 5 Stars]
[Synopsis- A body-focused cultivator created this technique. By examining the hardness of gold and the power of an elephant, this technique was created.]
The level of this technique stunned him.
In his life, the best technique he ever saw was the Eight Star Technique, which was the core technique of the sect.
But even so, it was only a low-level technique.
But this time, it was a Middle Level Technique. What he previously wanted to use was a Five-Star Low-Level Technique.
This was one whole level above that technique.
Besides being stunned, he also realized why he was able to get this technique.
His mother wasn't any ordinary woman. She was the Sixth Elder of the Middle Tier Sect. Her clan was even stronger than that several times.
She was the First Daughter of the Clan Leader.
This technique was carefully chosen by her. It allowed him to perfectly speed up his cultivation with enough resources.
At this moment, he chuckled.
He pulled out a small bag from inside his shirt. It was a grey bag that didn't look heavy, but it had quite a lot of things.
There were currently five three-star Qi Pills, and twenty three-star Healing Pills, alongside a secret weapon, and thousands of spiritual stones.
This was all the wealth he had saved. Before his luck started shining, he was relatively a coward.
He would often sleep on grass instead of buying a mattress when he could easily afford it.
The reason was simple. He didn't want to show his wealth when he could barely protect it.
'With five Qi pills, I should be able to complete my Skin Tempering Stage, right? I mean, I just need to temper my skin with Qi for two dozen times.'
'But this technique. I think being surrounded by Dragons is enough. I hope this will be my last elephant-themed technique.'
Thinking about it, he continued memorizing the technique.
After three hours, he finished reading, but he also felt a little hungry. He had some leftover rice and meat, so he heated them up.
At this moment, he wanted to test the power of Dragon Flame.
He was able to turn his normal Qi into fire since he had comprehended a little bit about it.
He could use sparks to light up the Qi, but it wasn't potent enough to cause enough harm.
[Dragon Flame]
When he activated this ability, his Qi surged. Even though he tried to control it, Qi inside his Dantian was being rapidly exhausted.
The Qi moved through his right arm under his command, and the activated ability instantly turned his Qi into flame.
A massive red flame emerged from the top of his fist.
'Hiss! This is bad. Just to use this ability, I lost one-third of my Qi. I am not using it again. At least, not until I reach Qi Condensation Realm.'
Thinking about it, he lit up the fire and started heating his leftover food while also thinking about his current cultivation.
Cultivation was divided into nine realms.
Body Tempering Realm, Qi Condensation Realm, and Foundation Establishment Realm were considered the first three realms, and the starting point of the cultivation.
Because they were mostly about the body, these realms were also considered weak in the grander world.
For example, his Sect Master was only at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Even though he was at the top of the strength among Low-Tier Sect Leaders.
Following Body Realms, there were three Soul Realms. Spiritual Palace Realm, Soul Condensing Realm, and Heavenly Ladder Realm.
Ken never got to reach this point.
He knew about these realms and even knew how to reach them, but because of the lack of talent and resources, he couldn't step into these realms.
It was said that the Middle-Tier Sect Leaders were at the peak of the Heavenly Ladder Realm.
It was a realm where a person could easily borrow the power of Heaven and Earth.
He didn't understand what it was since he never got to reach there.
The last three realms were the King Realm, Saint Realm, and Emperor Realm. Unlike the other six realms, these realms were quite secretive.
Because reaching these realms meant controlling a certain part of the world. Many large Kingdoms were controlled by those who had reached the King Realm.
Saint Realm was often the leader of the High-Tier Sect. As for the Emperor, he only knew of one.
The path of cultivation was harder than anything else. A person wouldn't just be able to get lucky.
Of course, if they had systems, Ken didn't think they would have a hard time.
Simply because the system was often the easiest kind of cheat for a cultivator.
But even so, it depended on what kind of system this was.
His Destiny Weaving System was quite overpowered, but he also understood one core thing.
If he utilized this system constantly, he would be forced to bear the cause and effect of the world.
That meant he would be forced to become the only savior of this world.
Either that or his world would be destroyed.
That was the most troublesome thing about his system, but compared to the benefits it brought, he was more than willing to accept such a burden.
Because he was getting benefits from this system. Not only did he get Dragon Blood Body, but he also had the Blood of the Ancient Dragon within him.
Although the majority of that Blood was used to rejuvenate his spiritual body, he could still recover it by absorbing some Dragon Blood or Dragon Energy Source.
At the same time, he also had another powerful bloodline. When he used three choices, he didn't expect to get those bloodlines.
But he got them. Even if he couldn't use them right now. They were still present in his body.
Unfortunately, the Ancient Dragon Transformation Technique only had one stage: the Dragon Blood Stage.
He had a feeling that the Ancient Dragon Bloodline would be much more powerful than his Dragon Blood Body, but because of certain restrictions, he only got the Dragon Blood Body.
The same was for the Samsara Flame Bloodline. He had that, but he couldn't awaken it because of his mother's family threat.
Not only that, he also got another benefit. His comprehension had improved quite a lot.
In just three hours, he managed to memorize the entire scroll.
The Golden Elephant Body Technique was divided into three stages.
Iron Body Stage, Elephant Strength Stage, and Golden Elephant Body Stage.
In the Iron Body Stage, he would transform his Qi into Iron Qi. Iron Qi possessed the properties of the metal element.
In other words, he would not only possess the Fire Element but also the Metal Element.
In this world, there were five basic elements of affinity. A person would normally be born with one elemental affinity.
Some geniuses were born with two elemental affinities. Some were even born with three elemental affinities.
The more elemental affinity, the better it would be for the cultivator. Because elemental affinity would allow a person to understand and master an elemental power.
This wouldn't directly affect one's cultivation speed but it would indeed affect their strength.
Hence, gaining the Metal Element would be a bonus point for him. And, this was just the first Stage.
Once completed, this stage would also give him Iron Body.
It wasn't a physique but rather a certain ability to be invulnerable to basic weapons and elemental attacks.
In the Elephant Strength Stage, he would gain the overwhelming strength of an elephant.
His Qi would become stronger, and it would make his body stronger as well.
Without even using Qi, he would be able to fight anyone at the same realm or a stage above him.
While using Qi, his attacks would become five times stronger.
And, his physical strength would be ten times higher than a normal cultivator of the same realm and stage.
This was the benefit of the Second Stage.
The final stage. The Third Stage would give him the Golden Elephant Body.
It was similar to Iron Body except it could physically manifest around him to protect his allies as well.
Golden Elephant Body would boost his previously boosted strength by three times, while also having the impenetrable defenses.
This was a perfect technique for the Body Tempering Realm.
Whether it was skin, blood, muscles, bones, or organs, every part of the body would be tempered with the stronger and more potent Qi.
