Re:Immortal

Chapter 80

Deep in space, in an unknown location was a floating continent made entirely out of dull-looking gray rocks. No sign of life was visible on the surface of this giant landmass, yet it was exactly here, in a faraway corner of the world that Omis sat down cross-legged in meditation.

The illusional Celestial world that appears behind him as he cultivated still persisted looking even more corporal than before as one would actually be able to feel the aura of the Immortal world emitting from Omis.

'This place is truly strange. The amount of spiritual energy here is almost akin to that of the Heavenly realm!'

Omis was shocked, one of the main reasons Cultivators yearned for ascending to the heavenly realm was because of the abundance of spiritual energy.

Once mortal cultivators reached the Ascension stage they would need a tremendously large amount of spiritual energy to break through the Half-Immortal stage.

In ancient times, talented individuals were able to borrow from the power of the heavenly realm to aid them in their breakthrough, yet that came at a price. The Heavenly tribulations that came in the form of thunderbolts as thick as a man's waist!

There was however an easier way to step into the legendary realm and that was with the help of an already ascended Immortal.

They would briefly descend towards the Mortal realm and guide the qualified cultivators through Heavens Gate cleansing them of their Mortal shell as they transcend to that which is Immortal.

One had to know that Omis himself was unable to step into Heaven by his own powers as he himself was merely guided in.

One was able to count the people who actually managed such an astonishing feat on one the fingers of one hand!

Now, what did it mean for a place such as this to exist? It meant that with the abundant amount of Qi in this space, one did not have to worry about the final bottleneck that separated the Ascension and Half-Immortal realm.

As long as you had enough Qi and with enough talent and preserving, It was quite easy to make It past the Ascension realm!

What had set aside the geniuses that made it to Heaven's using their own strength and others was their ability to break through even with the lack of resources!

'Is this why this place is so empty and already deserted? Did the previous race that lived in this continent already ascend to something far beyond?'

Reaching this chain of thought Omis shook his head and muttered.

'No, something still feels strange. What is this chaos energy? And how come whenever I try to cultivate Qi it always tries to jump in as well, yet the Qi is rejecting it does that mean that it's harmful?'

Thinking about it for a while, Omis's golden stared attentively at the space surrounding him, he was able to make it the stream of Qi gently floating all around him, yet outside his small cultivation area the situation was entirely different.

Omis watched as the gentle Qi stream turned into a raging sea that crashed against the cloud-like dark red energy both constantly battling for supremacy neither giving an inch.

Mortal eyes were not able to see such a scene but in Omis's eye, he was witnessing a non-stop war that unfolded before him.

Eyeing the hazy dark red chaos energy in suspicion, Omis found himself unconsciously comparing it with the dark red clouds that occupied the heavens, the broken red sky, and finally, the 'Hive'...

'The 'Hive' members seemed to have some strange cultivation techniques with bizarre spells. Yet one thing they all had in common was the blood-red color.'

As he continued to watch the two different energies clash against one another, Omis slowly understood that both have reached a stalemate in their battle with neither side being able to fully eradicate the other.

'Interesting, I wonder...What would happen if I tried to cultivate this strange energy...'

A dangerous thought suddenly sprouted in Omis's mind as he speculated the various uses and possibilities his experiment could end up in.

'Do I really want to risk my safety for mere curiosity?' He asked himself and after a moment of thought, he raised his head that had a resolute expression on it.

"What is there to be afraid of! I am a God and I will no be afraid of mere spiritual energy!" He spoke with a voice full of confidence as his aura suddenly blasted at full force enlarging the illusion of the Immortal world behind him even further.

Once he felt himself ready, Omis cautiously opened a small entrance ordering the Qi energy to not interfere as a small stream of Chaos energy found its way towards him.

As it passed by the illusion of the Celestial Realm, the world that was once pure and untainted started to change whenever the stream passed it seemed to leave destruction in its path, yet since the Qi energy was the more prominent one in this space, the illusion quickly recovered back to its previous state as the Chaos stream made its way to Omis.

He watched in curiosity as the stream came in contact with his body yet was unable to enter it. Not giving up the stream constantly moved all across his body looking for a way in before It reached his nose only to once again be stopped by an invisible barrier.

'So it's like that. It seems that the Chaos energy would is not able to infiltrate Ascended cultivators bodies unless permitted to.' Thought Omis as he watched the small stream mindlessly continue its struggle to find a way inside.

"Now then, the moment of truth."

Saying that Omis lowered his guard and allowed the energy to move inside his body. The moment it did he moved his senses and carefully observed the peculiar chaos energy.

It seemed to look for something as it made its way across his body strangely not leaving any sort of damage whatsoever, he watched in curiosity as the little stream made its way to his abdomen where his core was at.

Seeing that Omis was taken aback, yet did not do anything to stop it. The energy after all was too little to cause him any actual harm so he allowed it as he continued to watch it with interest.

Once the small stream made its way to his abdomen area, it was faced with Omis's giant core. It was a golden sphere-shaped ball of extremely pure refined Qi energy.

This was Omis's core and the base of his God-ranked cultivation realm.
