Chapter 50 A Spell Above Mortal Grade

After ensuring Eve was doing more than just fine, he shifted his attention.

"System, what is this Primordial Origin Void, and what did this Sword Nebula Stage-1 indicate? If I'm not wrong, I can use my spells just fine. Did this mean the Sword Nebula is just another type of Qi like Yin Qi and Yang Qi?" Cyrus first tried asking the system before figuring it out since it was an easier approach.

"[User has to figure out this yourself. All the system can divulge is 1 Unit of Sword Nebula is akin to 150 Units of Qi, and the stage represents the current unit capacity of Sword Nebula Energy User had.]"

Cyrus frowns after getting this unsatisfactory answer, but he still gets a vague idea about the nebula.

'So, it is not just another form of Qi but a higher-grade Qi like Supreme Qi or Divine Qi. Only a higher-grade Qi can have a higher Unit value than mortal Qi.' Cyrus mused as he thought it was likely the case.

Because the Qi was also graded by its potency, just like its attributes.

There were eight grades of Qi, Mortal Qi, Ascension Qi, Deity Qi, Immortal Qi, Supreme Qi, Divine Qi, Divine Supreme Qi, and Origin Supreme Qi.

These eight grades were also the measuring grades of Unique Physiques. Like Cyrus and Eve's physiques were Grade-8, Origin Supreme Physiques

However, now, he wasn't sure anymore because typically, 100 units of Mortal Qi are equivalent to 1 Unit of Ascension Qi, and 10,000 Units of Ascension Qi are equivalent to 1 Unit of Deity Qi.

This means the Nebula Qi was even more potent than Ascension Qi, and if he was not wrong, he might have 10 Units of Sword Nebula Qi at stage-1 because a Golden Grade spell took at least 200 to 250 units of Mortal Qi to successfully cast.

While the Yin and Yang Fire cost 500 to 600 Units of Mortal Qi just to manifest it for a fragment of a second.

Rita, for example, will have 100 to 200 Units of Yin Qi in the Body Qi Tempering Realm, and she can't cross this limit no matter which type of Qi she cultivated unless she breaks into a new realm and open her Prime Dantian.

But Cyrus completely defied these limitations with the Primordial Origin Void, and he was 1500 Units of Mortal Qi which were the Qi capacity of a peak Qi Core Realm Cultivator!

'No, if I counted Eve's Sword Nebula Qi as well, didn't this mean I have over 3000 Qi units like a new Nascent Soul Realm expert?' Cyrus's heart raced just thinking about it, and he didn't dare to imagine how much further this Qi would benefit him.

Cyrus then thought of something else as he said, "Eve, I'm going to teach you a simple spell that can help you peer right into your Prime Dantian. But I'm not sure if it works on Primordial Origin Void. Just try it and tell me if it works for you."

"Alright!" Eve quickly agreed, full of enthusiasm.

Then Cyrus explains the spell structure and its operating sequences. It was the most basic spell a cultivator would learn at the foundation-building realm to examine their new form, Prime Dantian. This spell could also be used on middle and lower Dantian as well.

After Eve gets the spell, he lets her try it while he does the same. He closed his eyes and used the spell, 'Inner Sight,' to peer into his prime Dantian location.

But he was shocked when he discovered something shocking; he couldn't feel any of his Dantian. They had just vanished from their places, and instead, he discovered a pitch-black dark hole in the location of his prime Dantian.

'Don't tell me this primordial origin void has completely annexed my other two Dantian just by forming?' Cyrus was astounded since he knew not even an Accession Cultivator could achieve this.

With great anticipation, he tried peering into this dark hole, and the next moment, he was sucked into it, and a terrifying scene was revealed in front of him.

There was nothing but endless blackness around him, and right in the center of this blackness were sparking white particles shaped into a sword. From Cyrus's point of view, it was like a sword shape cloud made with stardust.

Furthermore, he discovered the sword's grip was not white but was made with crimson and purple particles, which made it quite eye-catching.

'So, this is Sword Nebula that exists in an empty void. It's like a creation of an entire world. If only I have paid attention to that Old Coot, Star Chaser's yapping.' Cyrus was mesmerized by this scene, and this wasn't anything he had ever seen, even as a former God.

He was naturally not interested in astrology since it won't align with his path of lust, but he does have some knowledge that was far above any mortal because of a certain Old God.

Cyrus knew this Sword Nebula had something to do with stars, and he just needed to wait and see if his conjecture was true or not. Because he no longer judges the system by common sense anymore and doesn't put limits on his viewpoints.

So, after gazing at the Sword Nebula for a short while, he averted his gaze and stopped using the Inner Sight.

"Do you succeed?" Cyrus transmitted his voice to inquire about Eve's discoveries.

While he also noticed something very important that he had overlooked, he quickly closed his eyes to confirm this.

He opened them soon as they shimmered with excitement, 'I'm recovering my energy without the help of any kind of recovering technique, and it's far faster than even my old cultivation technique! Didn't this mean I can recover while doing nothing or…'

Cyrus thought of another possibility, but he didn't dare to believe it unless he confirmed it first.

Eve's amusing voice rang at this moment, "I succeeded! You won't believe what I saw!"

"What did you see?" Cyrus asked with a faint smile.

"I saw a sparkling star made with glowing particles, and it has ten points!" Eve revealed in wonderment.

Cyrus's knowing expression was replaced with a startling one, and he asked again, "You saw a ten-pointer star? Not a sword?"

"No. It was all white, but strangely one of its points was completely purple, and it was unique." Eve replied uncertainly.

Cyrus was again tongue tided by this revelation, 'Ten pointer star means a decagram. Not only is her nebula different from mine, but a portion of it is also lit in a unique color, while mine is lit in two. How strange.'

"Is there something wrong?" Eve asked with a hint of worry.

Cyrus snapped out of his through and wryly smiled, "Truthfully, I have no idea. But I think there is nothing wrong. I'm just being myself again. No one is born with the knowledge of everything."

"Silly, hehe." Eve giggled in amusement when she said, "What happened to that vixen?"

She finally noticed Rita, and her voice conveyed astonishment and gloating.

Cyrus looked behind and saw Rita's condition was not mending and replied with a sigh, "She's like this because she was protecting us because of the mistake I made. I need your help to cast another stronger healing spell. Are you willing to help our benefactor?"

Eve fell into silence after hearing Cyrus's explanation, and she mumbled, "I don't want to, but I'll do it this once!"

Cyrus's lips curled up, "Remember, always reply kindness with kindness and enmity with death!" He advised gently.

"Hmph!" Eve just snorted but didn't retort. She did not hate Rita; she was just envious of their positions.

Cyrus didn't comment anymore and looked at Rita with a rare gentleness in his eyes. His expression turned solemn as he put his hand above her head.

'I hope I have more than 2000 units of Qi, and this Qi potency is equivalent to Ascension Qi, or I'll be left in a terrible state if this spell breaks midway or doesn't activate at all.' He thought gravely.

Any spell above mortal grade has a terrifying backlash if someone gets ahead of themselves. Not only the spell won't cast and broken midway, but the caster will suffer a deadly backlash.

That's why Cyrus hesitated to cast such a spell because it was simply too risky, and even if he replaced Qi with his life force, he might not have that much life force.

Now, he was only willing to try because his newly formed Sword Nebula was as potent as Ascension Qi, and he also had access to Eve's reserved energy as well.

After taking a long deep breath, his fingers suddenly moved as he started to form strange hand signs leaving blurry images. This was the prerequisite to activate a spell above Golden Grade, hand signs.

A golden sheen suddenly started to envelop Cyrus's hand as he changed from one sign to another, and he completed the spell in five seconds which had a hundred hand signs.

With a solemn look, he placed his golden hand gently over Rita's left breast and muttered, "Level-1 Ascension Spell: Gia's Blessing!"
