Chapter 182

That central axis responded strangely easily to his desires and started shifting. Step by step it began to change its direction. 

After a few stressful minutes, he managed to shift it finally. That huge energy moved like a flood in his main meridian. 

Although it was his main meridian, it was still very narrow. Ibro felt the expanding meridian which added more pain to him but he didn't stop. 

If he stopped he felt that meridian wouldn't undertake all that pressure over it and would severe. He started to guide the wild energy towards the first main locus. 

The body drawn on the scroll was made of meridians which was like the canals and many loci which were like large lakes. 

The first locus wasn't flexible. Once the energy entered it, Ibro felt like this energy was cutting in his own flesh each step it advanced in the locus. 

Despite that, he didn't stop. He waited till all the locus was occupied by this energy to relax. After that he didn't care about his terrible condition, he was totally soaked with sweat. 

He started to guide the energy towards the next meridian and the following locus. He kept repeating this step over and over again until he opened the major meridians in his whole body with the accompanied loci. 

He then watched his newly created small circuit of meridians and loci with satisfaction. That result had made him suffer unbearable pain. 

When he recalled this he decided he didn't want to experience this again, so he decided to keep going. 

That wild energy became more docile with each full rotation is completed. He also felt that his open meridians and loci began to become more stronger, wider, and sturdier with each rotation. 

As instructed on this scroll, he needed to wait for another 100 rotations to finish before he could open new meridians and loci.

'Emperor Supreme Rule system requires permission to inject the stored energy into the system holder dantian.'

This sudden voice had disturbed his watch. He had huge trouble taming this energy, should he take the risk of taking new energy in him?

'System strongly advises the system holder to accept this energy. The available energy can't take the system holder beyond the 6th stage of the spiritual energy absorption stage. 

If the player wants to complete this major stage now, the system strongly recommends taking this step now.'

Ibro felt in deep thought. This system spoke like it knew more info about this world than it should be. 

This system came with him from the tech world after all. Ibro knew that wasn't the time to ask about such things so he postponed it to a later time. 

He then thought about that suggestion. Would he really complete the first major realm in his first training session? 

What about that warning about leveling up rapidly and its harm over the cultivator? What about the heavenly tribulation?

'System, can I advance and complete the full spiritual energy absorption stage in one go? Won't it harm me?'

'System advises the system holder to raise his power without stopping. There is no harm on the system holder, as he has the system to care about such issues.'

Ibro felt weirder as he asked:

'Do you intend for me to complete more than one major stage now?'

'I have sufficient energy for you to complete the next major stage if you wanted.'

Ibro fell into silence. There was one issue that was bothering him so he asked:

'System, I now train according to the technique I got from fire peak master. This technique is just a common technique. If I meet another technique in the future can I train it?'

Ibro didn't hear any reply for a while. When he thought system didn't know the answer to his question, the system voice appeared again saying:

To be able to do so, you need to have a more flexible dantian. That would waste a lot of energy. Are you sure you want to take this step? Your future isn't a cultivator after all but a system holder.'

Ibro knew it had a point here.

'I know what you said was true, but I have to live here for an unknown period of time. 

It seems I have caught much attention here, so I need to raise my survival chances. After all, cultivators here are very strong. 

I can't take down those peak masters, not speaking about the ones they are afraid of. I have to secure myself here to live for tomorrow.'

'Good point. System revises his previous protocol and changes his approach. Now it's main goal is to raise your power here till you leave this world. 

According to this new strategy, the system strongly recommends system holders to modify their dantian. System will send the draw required for the new dantian to the system holder's mind now.'

Suddenly a new picture appeared miraculously inside Ibro's mind. He didn't know how this system managed to do so. It seemed this system had hidden its own abilities. 

Ibro checked the new picture with full concentration. If his dantian was like a tiny dot, then the new dantian was like millions of dots. 

This drawing which carried the name of the universe had to limit the number of nebulas Ibro could have in his dantian. 

That meant if he wanted then he could use all the energy he got to form these endless nebulas instead of raising his stage. 

Ibro didn't know but this technique proposed from the system was very difficult… it was very dangerous. He loved the challenge it carried. 

It needed him to be wise and judge correctly when he raised his stage and when he increased the number of nebulas in his dantian. 

The process of this technique was narrated in this picture, but it had no info at all regarding this balance. It seemed it was a very personal decision. Ibro didn't waste time as he ordered the system:

'I grant the system permission.'

'System will start injecting its stored energy now. Good luck system holder.'

Ibro felt a sudden surge of energy that appeared from nowhere into his dantian directly. He didn't waste time and started to collect this new energy. 

The first step, which was the hardest one, was to gather this new energy and isolate it from the rest of the energy in his dantian. 

He must try to create a new different rotation course than the previously present energy. 

He needed also to harmonize the new nebula with the old ones so he didn't cause any collision between the two unintentionally. 

He followed the guide of the draw in his mind step by step. He was patient, but the new energy wasn't. it wanted to run amok or to fuse with the existing energy. 

After a few failed trials and the loss of big quantities of energy, he managed to create his second nebula. He tried to keep it intact but he failed. 

This new nebula tended to collide with the old one and that resulted in big losses for him. He lost the new nebula and some energy from the old one as well. 

These energies leaked outside his body with the blood that erupted from his many orifices. That didn't discourage him, instead, it ignited the deep challenge desire of his.
