538 Reviewing Knowledge

Shortly after Vaan dismissed the Great Ratholos Empire's envoy group back in the imperial palace, he returned to his private study.

Once he sat down at his desk, he pulled out the blank papers, picked up the feather ink pen, and recorded various instructions for management, education, development directions, and training down to the minute details.

The four volumes of the Heavenly Fire Art was also written down.

Vaan intended to pass everything to Astoria to assist her with managing the empire. He understood it could be daunting for Astoria to reform the entire empire while there was a mountain of issues that required resolving in all areas.

After all, even if Astoria could handle everything by herself, it would still take much longer. That's why he hoped his instructions would serve to speed up the process.

Nevertheless, despite the vast amount of information he needed to write down, he finished the task within two hours. His handwriting speed was incredibly fast and seemed mechanical.

After Vaan packaged the papers together, he stored them in his Heaven-Swallowing Space. Then, he wrote many letters addressed to specific individuals within the empire.

"Did you need something, Your Divinity?" a palace servant inquired after getting called inside the private study room.

"Find people to deliver these letters to the recipients written on them. You can ask the Minister of Internal Affairs for help if it's required. I just need these letters delivered," Vaan calmly instructed, passing the stack of letters to the palace servant.

"Understood, Your Divinity," the palace servant accepted the letters and bowed subserviently before taking his leave.

Naturally, the letters were addressed to the lords, nobles, and aristocrats who handed in flawed aura cultivation methods.

The letters detailed their required presence in the imperial palace within three days.

Failing to comply with the summoning would result in the strip of their nobility and rights in the empire; their lands and possessions would be confiscated, and they would be imprisoned until further notice.

'Zodreg, you will follow this person and oversee this matter. If these people intend to reject my summoning and flee the country, you can execute them on the spot!

'Yes, Supreme Leader!'

After Zodreg received Vaan's order, he left to track the movements of the letters, ensuring they reached their destinations and their contents were followed.

Vaan felt Zodreg's presence becoming distant before the dragon left the range of his Omni-Sense. Once he lost track of Zodreg, he no longer paid attention to the matter.

Since he settled two matters in the morning, he deserved a break.

Of course, a break away from trivial management matters could only mean more self-improvement.

Naturally, raising his aura cultivation with divine energy was impossible while he was on Pangea. However, he could still review the knowledge he acquired from the exchange with Henrietta.

Thinking back to that moment, Vaan was still impressed by the sophistication of the energy cultivation system in Empyrean Scarletsea's Divine Realm.

ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm Even if Pangea didn't lack spirit energy, he highly doubted human civilizations on Pangea would have reached the same level of development in the energy cultivation system.

The energy cultivation system in Empyrean Scarletsea's Divine Realm was something that took billions of years to develop. A few thousand Pangea years would only scratch the surface of it.

Nevertheless, Vaan understood the divine energy he acquired from the asteroids was the higher form of spirit energy.

Furthermore, based on Empyrean Scarletsea's observation of the sea of stars, the divine energy he acquired wasn't naturally formed. Instead, they were the remnants of fallen divine practitioners.

That further confirmed Vaan's speculation of the asteroid field being the remains of the celestial bodies that once existed there.

Divine energy could only be naturally formed in the Divine Realm - that was why it was called the Divine Realm.

However, there wasn't just a single Divine Realm. In fact, there could be as many Divine Realms as there were galaxies in the chaosverse.

The Divine Realm referred to the innermost region of stars that orbited the supermassive black hole found at the heart of its galaxy. The naturally formed divine energy was a byproduct of the endless swirl of light visibly seen coating the supermassive black hole.

Simply put, the supermassive black holes in the chaosverse were like giant divine energy plants.

In the energy cultivation system, mortals begin cultivation by refining spirit energy and accumulating it inside their bodies.

Since spirit energy was the energy of life produced by all lifeforms, it had the benefit of enhancing the body.

Naturally, enhancing the body came with increased physical attributes and longer lifespans.

Possessing gaseous wisps of spirit energy in the Dantian was the sign of being a mortal practitioner entering the Body Tempering Realm or Energy Refining Realm.

To advance to the Energy Condensation Realm, mortal practitioners had to transform their gaseous wisps of spirit energy into liquid form.

Solidifying that liquid spirit energy was the next step to advance Energy Condensation Realm practitioners to the Revolving Core Realm.

To reach the Heaven Ascension Realm, the solid spirit energy in the practitioner's Dantian would have to achieve a certain mass and revolution speed.

The steps leading up until this point were quite similar to Vaan's procedure in his mana cultivation to become a Warlock. The only difference was that he combined it all into a single step.

Nevertheless, there was another problem Vaan had to address if he wanted to embark on the path of spirit energy cultivation.

The spirit energy cultivation system mostly used the Upper Dantian as its energy center.

However, he had already used the Upper Dantian for his mana cultivation and his Middle Dantian for his aura cultivation. Thus, he was only left with the Lower Dantian.

Using the Lower Dantian for the cultivation of spirit energy was the less-trodden path.

According to Empyrean Scarletsea's information, this was due to the difficulty of reaching the Void Realm, also known as the Shattered Core Realm.

Exactly as its name implied, it required Heaven Ascension Realm practitioners to shatter their core in order to advance to the next realm. The idea was to use the explosive power brought by the eruption of energy to completely reform the Dantian into a vastly larger space for storing more energy.

It was the process of creating an inner world in the Dantian.

However, even vaan could see it was incredibly risky and dangerous. It was an instantaneous step with great demand for reaction speed and mental strength.

According to Empyrean Scarletsea, many mortals died on this step because they weren't quick enough or their mental strength was lacking to control the energy eruption.

Vaan didn't find this surprising at all.

After all, the Upper Dantian was located in the head. Letting a large amount of spirit energy run wildly in such a sensitive area would naturally spell one's doom.

There was no second chance for anyone who failed to create the inner world in their Upper Dantian.

Even so, many practitioners still chose the Upper Dantian because it was the closest energy center to the brain. Reaction time and mental strength would be much greater in this location than in the Lower Dantian.

As such, while the practitioners who chose the Upper Dantian experienced the most death, they also had the most success.

It was all or nothing - they either rose above others or died trying.

Nevertheless, as Vaan reviewed the knowledge of energy cultivation, the more fated he felt to cultivate spirit energy in his Lower Dantian.

Reaction time? Mental strength?

He excelled in these aspects to the point that he was inhuman. To say he was overqualified would still be an understatement.

If anyone could cultivate spirit energy in their Lower Dantian to the Void Realm, it would be him.

After all, he still had Heaven-Swallowing Space to back him up.

Thus, even if he failed, he wouldn't be seriously injured. He just had to restart the spirit energy cultivation from the beginning.

Furthermore, what he had was divine energy, not spirit energy. Divine energy would help him have an even easier time breezing through the early realms of spirit energy cultivation.

'Spirit energy cultivation... I look forward to reaching great success in this...' Vaan thought with expectations.

Nevertheless, there was another requirement to cultivate spirit energy in the Lower Dantian - to have a firm physical foundation.

According to the standards of Empyrean Scarletsea's Divine Realm, a firm physical foundation was needed to compensate for the lack of mental strength in controlling the spirit energy in the Lower Dantian.

Without sufficient control, it was easy for the spirit energy to hurt the meridians while drawing power from the Lower Dantian.

Although Vaan was completely confident in his mental strength, he didn't want to skip over the basics.

Overconfidence was the beginning of one's downfall.

Vaan didn't have so much ego that he would gamble his life just to prove Empyrean Scarletsea wrong in his spirit energy control in the Lower Dantian.

More importantly, it just so happened that he needed to strengthen his physique to proceed with his aura cultivation smoothly.

With that thought in mind, Vaan withdrew a handful of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Stalactite Milk from his Heaven-Swallowing Space.

Gulp!

Vaan downed every drop without hesitation.

Considering the potency of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Stalactite Milk, a handful of it was a good amount for starters-or so he thought.

Vaan's eyes immediately bulged in the next instant while experiencing the domineering potency of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Stalactite Milk.

Ding!
