After reaching the platform, Rudra sat in a meditation position and tried to cultivate.
But soon, he was not able to handle the energy, and his body began to burn.
He gritted his teeth to endure. Suddenly, the voice of the weapon spirit echoed in his head.
"Cultivate these formulas."
Soon, a wave of information flooded his mind. Many new cultivation methods and techniques—even blacksmithing and alchemy skills—flashed in front of his eyes.
"Quickly select a technique related to fire-type," she said again.
The weapon spirit had forgotten that Rudra was still a mortal who hadn't even stepped into the mortal realm.
She quickly realized her mistake and gave him multiple techniques.
"Bastard, don't die so soon," she muttered to herself.
Rudra was still in a daze. He didn't know which technique to choose. He was about to pick a random one, but suddenly, two new techniques appeared before him.
One was a body refinement technique named Nine Paths of Destruction Body.
The other was a cultivation technique named Ashen God's Prana Sutra.
Both of them were suitable for cultivation in his situation, so Rudra started practicing both methods.
The weapon spirit noticed the changes and was shocked. She had never imagined that Rudra would try to cultivate both methods in this condition.
"You idiot! Are you trying to kill yourself?" she shouted in anger.
"Just cultivate one method. You can practice the other later," she warned again.
But Rudra couldn't listen. He was already cultivating both techniques.
His body was burning with fire. He was breathing and receiving energy at the same time. Soon, his face and entire body became distorted. Blood began to flow from his mouth, ears, and nose.
Suddenly, something changed. His energy stabilized, and his body became pitch-black.
For some time, his body remained covered in pitch-black ash. Then cracks began to appear on the ash-covered body. Soon, all the ash shattered and Rudra emerged, transformed. His body had changed drastically.
His hair turned ashen grey, and his skin now had a pale glow. He had become even more handsome than before.
But the real transformation was within. His internal organs had strengthened. The veins that channeled energy in his body had also transformed.
Vein Types in the Mortal World:
Mortal Veins – Basic veins found in ordinary cultivators.
Earth Veins – Stronger than mortal veins; help gather energy more efficiently.
Heaven Veins – Enable sensing heaven and earth energy, aiding cultivation.
Immortal Veins – Allow one to become immortal much faster. Even if one's spiritual roots of rare grade, they are highly efficient and make one a top cultivator.
Previously, Rudra had mortal veins, but now they had evolved into heaven-grade spiritual veins.
More importantly, his roots had also been upgraded. His spiritual root, Agnivana, was upgraded from pseudo-rare grade to rare middle-grade roots.
While examining his body, a voice came from his back.
"I didn't expect you to acquire the Ashen God's veins."
"Ashen God?" Rudra asked.
"Yes. It is one of the top ten most powerful veins in the God-Heavenly Rank. They can evolve even further," the weapon spirit explained.
"Let me check your body again," she said.
She then placed her hand on Rudra's body. She found that Rudra had opened up to 72 meridians, in a perfect form.
bones had become tough like steel. Rudra had now started cultivating the Nine Paths of Destruction Body. The name alone sent chills.
This martial technique has nine paths to cultivate the body.
Rudra successfully cultivated the first path, reaching minor comprehension. His body had already started to transform.
His bodyis now comparable to energy gathering realm – second stage. But without Prana energy, he can only compete with the people of the mortal stage.
Under the energy gathering realm, he is invincible.
But Rudra didn't make any progress in Prana cultivation. The weapon spirit was worried that Rudra would be sad if he knew this.
But she still had to tell him about his situation and tried to console him.
But suddenly Rudra said, "You think I didn't make any improvement in cultivation?"
When he said this, suddenly his aura rose. His cultivation increased drastically.
Mortal Realm – 1st stage
2nd stage
3rd stage
4th stage
5th stage
6th stage
7th stage
8th stage
His cultivation stopped at the 9th stage of the Mortal Realm.
Now Rudra has stepped into the world of cultivation.
He achieved his dream!!
