Unaware of his Master's conversation with Falanea, Krune returned to his place to keep practicing the Elemental Regulation Technique. At the same time, he did as his Master said and divided his focus to cultivate at the same time. Sure enough, cultivating at the same time allowed him to see the difference that new spiritual energy caused to the existing one. This helped him to comprehend it even further.
'I'm at the 9th stage and close to the peak, I should use this time to reinforce my foundation even further and get ready for the Core Formation Realm Breakthrough.'
Krune still had a lot of Spiritual Stones from the Entrance Exam, so he spent some time at home doing both things. As for everyone else, they also were training and receiving guidance from their own Masters. Of course, different from Krune, his friends' Masters had several other disciples. So they had to get divided attention, and sometimes their Masters would teach a lot of their disciples together.
Time passed, and soon, a month went by. During this time, everyone improved by leaps and bounds. There is a limit to how much Krune could help with his Elemental Irises, and it couldn't replace the knowledge accumulated by the Divine Path Sect over the ages it had been here.
There was another thing, Krune decided to pass his Myriad Energies Technique for both Lofa and Tasier too. When they heard about it, they were amazed by this information. The most common cultivation technique of all times turned out to be this heaven-defying! Lofa and Tasier didn't have any reason not to believe Krune, so they immediately started to cultivate it.
Of course, they had just started, and both of them had backgrounds before, so they didn't need to create the pseudo meridians before. Because of that, considering the time that Ao and the others took to create all nine, Krune expects that they won't be over with it before a few months have passed.
---
Talking about the Spiritual Energy Meridians, there was one thing that puzzled Krune. Shinja had finally got enough spirit stones to create all Nine Spiritual Energy Meridians. Still, contrary to what happened to krune, her ones did not evolve into the same Elemental Meridians as his. Instead, her Meridians became transparent, just like Water. (Water is not blue, just so that you know)
Shinja then showed it to everyone, which surprised Krune to no end. Still, there was something more to that, Krune could also see a few spots of blue on them. Shinja then said.
"As you know, I specialize in Water, Ice, and Lightning. But Ice is still a branch element of Water. In a certain way, I'm still only using two elements, even though it can be considered three. The blue light spots on my Spiritual Meridians give me the feeling of Lightning Element."
Krune was already expecting that answer.
"I see, so the elements you best at will also determine what kind of Elemental Meridians you will have. I should have thought about this possibility before. Still, it is good to see that the Meridians that you guys have can also evolve into the next stage."
It was then that Krune remembered something.
"Oh, right! After your Meridians evolved, did they Breakthrough Space and connected to the Elemental Source Energy?"
Shinja nodded.
"Yes, such a thing did really happen. But according to what you told me, there is one thing different from my Meridians and yours. My Elemental Meridians did indeed connect to the Elemental Source Energy and absorbed its energy to evolve. But I could feel that they were absorbing a lot more Water Energy Source than the rest, Lightning was the second. As for the rest, they were being absorbed as well, but just a tiny bit of each one."
One must know that Elemental Source Energy is composed of all elements. In fact, it also has other elements like Light and Darkness. But Krune was not able to absorb those either.
"I see, tell me one thing. When you convert Spiritual Energy into Elemental Source Energy for cultivation, Is that Energy also mainly composed of Water and Lightning?"
Shinja smiled and immediately nodded.
"Yes. I still get other elements like fire, earth, and wind. But it is just like my Elemental Meridians. They can't comparate to the amount of Water and Lightning Elements."
Krune finally understood.
"Then I believe there is nothing wrong with it. The Elemental Meridians will evolve according to your own traits. If it had become a Rainbow-Like Meridians just like mine, they would give you a lot of Fire, Earth, and Wind Elements, which would be of little use to your cultivation."
Shinja nodded and agreed with what Krune said.
Krune then asked.
"Talking about cultivation, Core Formation Realm needs Elemental Source Energy to raise their cultivation. Because I'm in the Foundation Establishment, the amount of Elemental Source Energy that my Elemental Meridians convert is very small. How much Spiritual Energy your meridians automatically convert into Elemental Source Energy? I believe it will be different since you are already at the Core Formation Realm."
Shinja nodded and then said.
"I haven't tried to cultivate after my Meridians evolved, so I don't know yet. I wanted to talk to you guys first before trying anything, so let me try it now."
Shinja then took out a few Spirit Stones and placed them around. After that, she started to cultivate. As mentioned before, the Core Formation Realm and above need to convert Spiritual Energy into Elemental Source Energy to raise their cultivations. Shinja concentrated at it to see how much Elemental Source Energy would be delivered before she had to convert the Spiritual Energy. Thirty minutes later, she finally opened her eyes, and veryone could see that she looked quite happy.
"Impressive! The Elemental Meridians converted around 30% of the Spiritual Energy into Elemental Source Energy before it arrived into my Dantian!"
Krune and everyone else's eyes lit up at that moment.
Don't look down on 30% of converstion. Krune's Elemental Meridians can't even convert 10% while in the Foundation Establishment Realm! That was not all! If around 30% of the Spiritual Energy is converted straight away, it means that the cultivation time can be reduced in about 1/3! You only need to cultivate for 16 hours to achieve the same results as an entire day of cultivation! That's is even more heaven-defying!
After they learned that, everyone was ecstatic! Yusa then immediately bid farewell and returned to her own residence. She had already entered the Core Formation Realm and opened 8 Spiritual Energy Meridians in total. As mentioned before, Yusa had to stop at the 6 Meridians because her Foundation Establishment Dantian couldn't support 9 of them. But after the Breakthrough, it had finally got strong enough to support the rest! So she wanted to finish her last one to get her own Elemental Meridians.
Ao and the others were also hyped by that information and returned to their own residences to cultivate. Arlan, Ao, Lofa, and Tasier were all at the Peak of the Foundation Establishment, so they only needed to reinforce their cultivations and get ready for the Heavenly Tribulation.
A few hours after everyone left, Krune received a Message from his Master.
"One month has gone by, come to my residence for me to check your progress."
Krune immediately got excited, he can finally show the fruits of his effort!
After arriving there, Krune went directly to his Master's Cultivation room.
"You are here. So how was it? Did you get a basic grasp of my technique? This technique could be said to have four stages, fundamental, Intermediate, Advanced, and Peak. In my time, I only took one month to achieve the Fundamental Stage, so I hope you haven't disappointed me."
Lucio's expression showed a lot of pride while saying those words. At that time, when he got this technique from his Master, even his Master was surprised by his speed.
Krune noticed his Master smug face and snorted.
"You old geezer, you took an entire month to get to the fundamental stage? Sigh... I wonder if you are really worthy of being my Master at all. It only took me one week to get there."
Lucio almost vomited blood after that. One week? Are you kidding me? But before he could retort, Krune had already sent the same Spiritual Energy Line again. When Lucio saw that, his mouth twitched. Although it wasn't even close to his, it was evident that Krune had really achieved the fundamental stage! In fact, Lucio could see that Krune is very close to entering the intermediate stage too!
"Cough, cough. As expected of my first disciple, if you couldn't do this much, Master would be disappointed."
This time it was Krune that almost fainted!
"What you mean this much? I practiced it like there was no tomorrow! Couldn't you give a little bit of praise here? I smashed your previous time record to the ground, after all!"
Lucio heard that and almost exploded.
"Why must you say smashed? Can't you be more delicate about it?"
Once again, they started to bicker at each other, and it wasn't before a full 20 minutes had gone by that they finally got tired about that.
"Alright, enough already! Since you are doing this well with your practice, we can enter the next topic."
Krune also stopped and asked.
"What next topic?"
Lucio looked at him with a serious face and asked.
"When are you planning to enter the Core Formation Realm?"
Krune was taken aback with that question but answered anyway.
"My foundation has been reinforced quite a lot, and I'm also at the peak of the Foundation Establishment. I believe I can do it anytime."
Lucio nodded and said.
"During the time I was verifying your foundation, I noticed that you were keeping all the Elemental Source Energy instead of using it for cultivation. If I'm not wrong, you intend to use it in your Core Formation Realm Breakthrough, right?"
Krune wasn't surprised that his Master had found about it, so he simply nodded, he was really intending to do such a thing.
"Very good, with this, we can make a perfect Core Formation Realm breakthrough!"
Krune was puzzled, though.
"What do you mean?"
Lucio heard that and then smiled.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Unaware of his Master's conversation with Falanea, Krune returned to his place to keep practicing the Elemental Regulation Technique. At the same time, he did as his Master said and divided his focus to cultivate at the same time.
