On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

Chen Tian, lost in thought, wandered back to the events of the previous day. He couldn\'t shake the feeling of unease that had been lingering since then.

He needed to get stronger. Foundation Establishment was only an ant in the face of the challenges that lay ahead.

As he tried to clear his mind, Chen Tian took out a piece of paper from his storage ring. On it were coordinates that led to Tianchi Lake.

Tianchi Lake is famous for its crystal-clear waters and serene surroundings. It is also well known for its resort, which is renowned for its hot springs rumored to have healing powers.

"A resort? Does she live there?"

Without hesitation, Chen Tian summoned his flying sword, and headed back to the Ming Mansion.

Before leaving and meeting with Baihu, he wanted to tell the girls that he was leaving. His mind was still a mess after what he had learned, but he knew he had to focus on the task at hand.

As he soared through the sky, he arrived back at the Ming Mansion in no time. Chen Tian quickly made his way to Aria and Emilia\'s room. He knocked gently on each door and was about to open one when he suddenly felt the spiritual Qi in the rooms fluctuate.

A surge of excitement coursed through Chen Tian as he sensed the Qi in the space.

"Breakthrough!"

A wide grin split Chen Tian\'s face. He could practically feel the spiritual energy emanating from within the room—a sign that Aria and Emilia were about to break through to the Qi Refinement Realm.

"Those girls are not bad, indeed. To sense the bottleneck of Qi Refinement in this meager spiritual energy... they possess some hidden talent."

Wu Ye was also surprised because the spiritual energy on Earth was much weaker and less abundant than the energy in the cultivation world.

Wu Ye still didn\'t know that it was all thanks to Chen Tian\'s Yang Qi that both girls could break through so quickly, even in such a remote place.

Suddenly, a surge of energy erupted from the room, and a faint golden light seeped through the cracks in the door. Aria and Emilia were breaking through!

Chen Tian entered the room quietly so as not to disturb their breakthrough process. Emilia was surrounded by a golden light, her hair floating around her as she concentrated on harnessing the energy. Aria\'s eyes were closed, her hands glowing with a soft blue light as she channeled her own technique.

Emilia glowed with radiant energy, her face serene and focused. She looked like a celestial being, bathed in light and virtue.

The spiritual energy around her surged with an intensity that rivaled a small sun. The breakthrough to the Qi Refinement Realm was upon her.

Chen Tian reached out his hand and gently swept his palm, creating a shimmering barrier that surrounded Emilia. He didn\'t want Emilia to interrupt Aria\'s breakthrough by accident.

The spiritual energy that had been building within Emilia for so long finally erupted, flooding her body.

As she opened her eyes, they blazed like fire. Deep within her dantian, the energy swirled and danced—a gas-like energy that pulsed with a life of its own.

Qi Refinement Realm, first stage!

Emilia felt the power coursing through her body. She felt that she could punch her previous self in the face and knock her out with a single blow. The newfound strength and clarity in her mind made her feel invincible.

She took a deep breath, channeling the energy in her dantian into her arm and assuming a fist to punch.

She raised her fist, feeling the energy crackling around it. As she was about to punch, her arm was grabbed by a strong hand, stopping her mid-motion. Emilia\'s eyes widened in surprise as she turned to see Chen Tian.

"You better not do that here, or you\'ll blow this room up by accident," Chen Tian warned, his voice firm but with a hint of amusement.

Emilia felt a rush of embarrassment and quickly lowered her fist, nodding in understanding. She was just excited and wanted to test her new powers, but she knew Chen Tian was right.

"How\'s the technique?" Chen Tian asked, since Duan Shu had told him that the Radiant Sovereign Art wasn\'t a simple technique.

"It\'s amazing," Emilia replied, a smile breaking out on her face. "I can feel that I can absorb the rays of the early morning sun and channel that energy to strengthen my Qi further. I feel the power coursing through me, but I still need to work on controlling it better."

Chen Tian nodded in approval, his expression softening. "Take your time. Mastery of the Radiant Sovereign Art will come with practice and patience," he advised. Emilia nodded.

Unexpectedly, the air in the room crackled with sharp energy, a stark contrast to the serene atmosphere moments before.

Even Chen Tian was slightly taken aback by the sudden shift in energy. This energy wasn\'t spiritual Qi, but something entirely different—something Chen Tian was familiar with.

"Spear Aura!" Wu Ye was the one to speak in Chen Tian\'s mind.

Chen Tian and Emilia both turned to look at the bed next to them. The energy around Aria crackled, undergoing a startling transformation. The once soft, ambient blue glow emanating from her form intensified, sharpening and focusing into an aura.

Aria suddenly opened her eyes. A gasp escaped Emilia\'s lips. Even Chen Tian wasn\'t calm, as in Aria\'s eyes, a spear of light appeared.

Boom!

A wave of energy exploded from Aria\'s body. The Spear Aura enveloped Aria, swirling around her like a protective shield.

Aria had finally entered the Qi Refinement Realm; not only that, but Chen Tian could sense that she had also understood the first level of Spear Aura, which seemed impossible.

"Hey Wu Ye, did the technique you gave me contain any Spear Aura?" Chen Tian asked.

"No, the technique I gave you only contained spear moves and a way to absorb Qi energy more efficiently," Wu Ye replied.

Chen Tian furrowed his brow in confusion. If the technique didn\'t contain any Spear Aura, then how did Aria learn it?

"Don\'t tell me Aria is a genius in the spear path!"

Wu Ye chuckled at Chen Tian\'s expression of disbelief, finding amusement in his reaction to Aria\'s unexpected talent.

"It\'s possible that this girl has a natural talent for sensing and understanding the Spear Aura. Some cultivators are just born with certain abilities that others need to work hard to achieve," she explained.

Chen Tian nodded slowly, realizing that Aria could possibly be talented in the spear path.
