Transcending Limits

Sheng Tian"s mind after killing a human for the first time has undergone a drastic change. He came from repulsion to acceptance.

In a World where life and death is decided by the strong, it is a delusion to believe that he can live without staining his hands in blood.

As he reached a small town, it was already early morning. He took a luxurious room in an inn and retired to sleep.

The next thing he did after he woke up was to check his dantian. From all the novels he read, if there is an item whose powers you do not know of, then it is most likely an unmatchable G.o.dly artifact.

After all, the biggest mistake a protagonist can do is to not use cheats when he could only to complain about the lack of strength later.

Since this place is far away from the populated areas, there are little to no cultivators here, which made it safer for him to try it out.

In his dantian, Sheng Tian found the white sphere shedding its outer layer. All he could see inside was something very very bright inside.

Sheng Tian tried to control it and absorb the profound energy.

*Whoosh* A suction force originated in his dantian and like a vortex, it started absorbing the profound energy from the vicinity of the inn.

Sheng Tian was losing control over the absorption, but he held onto it tight. All the profound energy absorbed was taken in by the white sphere.

After three hours of hard work, a crack was heard.

Sheng Tian calmed his heart beat and checked his dantian. The white sphere was gone and in its place was something similar to a small seed, which now rooted itself firmly in his dantian.

"World Tree Seed?" Sheng Tian thought.

For someone who read the novels, he is no stranger to the concept of World Trees and their origins.

He was excited at the potential prospects of a World Tree.

Then he continued to control the seed to absorb the profound energy.

This time, a part of the pure energy from the seed was directed into his Profound veins, slowly filling them with the incomparably pure and dense energy.

"Crack". Sheng Tian soon heard a crack from his own body again.

He felt his own cultivation breakthrough from the First Stage of Elementary Realm to Second Stage.

Without further ado, he opened the exquisite Jade box given by Meng Xin.

A rich mellow fragrance filled the air from the bright red pill.

Sheng Tian swallowed it. There was no need to test because he already did!

On the way to the town, he found a normal stray dog in the path. He scratched a bit of the pill and fed it to the dog.

The dog had no problems as it became vigorous like never before.

The dog even started undergoing a couple of cultivation breakthroughs!

So, his doubts on the pill vanished.

It"s impossible for him to believe her totally. It was already good that he didn"t start experiments on the dog to check the pill"s credibility!

After the pill entered his body, it released a rich medical essence, which directed itself to his profound veins and dantian.

Much to his surprise, a strong suction force from the seed in his dantian and sucked the medical essence.

Sheng Tian sat there dumbfounded. What the....?

He almost cursed but stopped himself when the seed in his dantian released a stream of dense, rich Energy.

All of Sheng Tian"s profound veins were no being filled with Profound Energy.

Crack, Sheng Tian reached the peak of the Elementary Realm.

The next step is reaching the Foundation Realm.

The dantian is the core of the Profound veins network.

The profound veins and dantian are connected, but their connection is blocked.

To advance in the Foundation Realm, one clears all the blocking between the Profound Veins and Dantian.

When the profound veins network and dantian are connected completely, it is the peak of the Foundation Realm.

As the name of the Realm says, the steps till they were only building the foundation for the actual cultivation yet to come.

In other words, reaching the peak of the Foundation realm can only be considered to reaching the starting point on the Cultivation Path.

The Journey to reach the elusive peak of cultivation only begins at the Profound Realm.

As these thoughts ran through his mind, Sheng Tian noticed the pure energy started clearing the connections of profound veins and dantian and filling them with energy.

And it continued until he broke through to the first realm of the Foundation Realm before the flow of energy stopped.

Sheng Tian opened his eyes wide speechless.

"What? This was it?"

"Wasn"t he supposed to reach the Nascent Soul Realm?"

"Don"t tell me the gluttonous seed only gave me leftovers after it had a full meal?"

"f.u.c.k this seed! Isn"t it too daring to steal from my plate?"

"But it only took a couple of minutes, not 24 hours like it should! Wow, that"s insane!"

Sheng Tian"s rain of curses never ended but his cultivation breakthrough did.

Sheng Tian stood up full of reluctance, still in disbelief that he has not broken through to Profound Realm and Nascent Soul Realm.

It"s two big Realms for G.o.d"s sake!

Did the scratched pill powder he fed to the dog the reason? Probably! d.a.m.n it!

Sheng Tian got up from the bed and happened to pa.s.s by the mirror.

Looking at the reflection, he was shocked once again before he smiled humbly "I became even more handsome. Why am I so awesome? I feel so lonely at the peak. *sigh*"

Sheng Tian"s sour mood soothed after some "self-reflection".

He left the inn after a gluttonous meal.

He is feeling full of energy.

As he walked on the streets, he saw a crowd gather ahead. Curious to why he wore a black face mask and walked over. He brought the mask on the way. Why you ask? To prevent marriage divorces, relations.h.i.+p breakups, and engagement annulments. After all, he is that awesome!

Sheng Tian approached the crowd.

A muscular man was holding the hair of a beautiful middle-aged woman kneeling on the ground. Next to her was a bloodied middle-aged man. There was a young girl looking to be around 15 hiding behind the bloodied man on the ground.

The middle-aged woman was asking the muscular man to spare her daughter.

Sheng Tian scanned the crowd and realized that they were all mortals. The Muscular Man is a Cultivator and seemed to be at the Peak of Foundation Establishment Realm.

He must have wanted to use his strength to force this family"s females to serve him in the bed.

Sheng Tian sighed. This is a very common occurrence in this World. Strong prey the Weak. You can do whatever you want if you are strong enough.

This is the most basic common sense a person of this world has.

When the Man was about to strangle the woman, he slowly walked forward. The Muscular Man looked at him and barked "What brat? You want to be a hero and die?"

Sheng Tian merely chuckled and said in a calm tone "Fool."

The Muscular Man"s eyes narrowed to slits as he realised Sheng Tian was also a cultivator. He swung his fist as Sheng Tian"s heart.

Sheng Tian lightly chortled and waved his hand blocking the punch.

At a speed many times faster than his previous peak speed, Sheng Tian punched the Muscular Man in the chest.

Under Sheng Tian"s law-breaking strength, he had no way to resist despite the fact that he was almost a realm higher than him.

Sheng Tian"s punch broke his rib cage and blasted his heart to smithereens. The man"s body collapsed onto the ground as the whole ground was dyed with blood and filled with the scattered organ parts.

A nasty smell filled the air.

Many directly began to throw up at the horrendous sight.

Unfettered by the Crowd"s reaction, Sheng Tian said in a low voice looking at Man"s corpse, "Honestly, your luck was very bad."

There was only a deadly silence in the street. Every person"s eyes almost popped out and their mouth wide open.

To them, the Muscular Man was like a living G.o.d. Right after he entered their town, he controlled the life and death of every person.

But they saw a Young Man kill G.o.d with a casual punch. They didn"t know what to say anymore.

The young girl looked gratefully at Sheng Tian, while her parents were terrified of his strength. Tears of relief flowed down her face as she saw her mother and father safe with the Bad guy dead.

"Thank you." She said as she bowed deeply.

Sheng Tian looked at her indifferently and said coldly "I don"t pity you. I was in a position similar to yours, losing my only parent- my "mother" in front of my eyes, yet I was powerless to do anything.

But now I have the power, so I stopped the same from happening again. And doing it once, I satisfied my own desire. I did this only to feel good myself and has got nothing to do with you.

If I had to kill you for my goals, I wouldn"t hesitate for a second. Even if someone is ready to kill you now, I won"t stop them.

I"m not a hero of justice."

Without caring a second for the crowd"s reaction, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
