Chapter 80: Using the Enlightenment stone!
Sigh, it didn't work.
Soon, after minutes of pondering/delving into the cultivation technique... Leo couldn't help but utter a sigh of helplessness upon feeling that his mastery of the cultivation technique hadn't increased a bit.
Although he could feel that his mind seemed to become much more clearer than before, it was still not to the point where he could gain enlightenment in the shortest time possible based on the description of the stone.
Sigh...
Opening his eyes, Leo again examined the little stone in his hand, contemplating how he could use it.
"System? Any idea how could I use it?"
Leo asks within his mind, but only to hear the usual silence within him.
...
"Sigh, never mind, I should just continue practicing the Mana/Qi thread...
Growl (Sound of a hungry stomach.)
"However, before that, I should eat first!"
Leo changes his mind after hearing his stomach rumble. Putting the stone in his inventory Leo began cooking the flesh of the beasts they killed before.
Taking it out before summoning a normal fire on his hand...
Sizzle, sizzle...
Soon, after just 5 minutes of grilling the beast's meat, a mouthwatering fragrance began to drift into the enclosed cave, instantly causing his stomach to release another intense sound of complaining...
"Wait a minute, it's still not done..." Leo speaks to himself as his mouth begins to drip with saliva.
Wiping the forming saliva on the corner of his mouth, after another minute of cooking...
Seeing that the meat was finally perfectly cooked under his flame, Leo, without even letting the meat cool down immediately started eating.
"Nom... I really will never get tired of eating this meat every day!' He thought.
Although he didn't add any spices to the meat, just the meat of mutated beasts alone is enough! It could be said that its natural flavor/taste is heavenly!
...
Burp...
Leo releases a loud burp after finishing eating the grilled meat, wiping the grease on the corner of his lips after drinking.
Sigh... This is what you called life!
He exclaimed before again starting to practice his Qi thread.
Summoning the Qi on his fingertip, Leo manipulated it to become thin but only for it to explode after reaching the width of his little finger.
Boom!
Waving his hand to dispel the smoke, Leo slightly coughed before again continuing practicing, already getting used to the process of failure.
Although it was really annoying to fail countless of times, however every time Leo saw the improvement he made, the annoyance he felt would immediately vanish and change into pleasure!
Again!
Leo thought before continuing again... And again!
Summoning the Qi outside his body, making it similar to a thin thread but with enough/strong durability, enough for the Qi to pierce the materials of the puppet.
Failure after failure, Leo repeated the process for an unknown period of time. His eyes were already tired, but they carried and hid a satisfaction deep within.
Soon, after another 10 minutes, Leo again manipulated the Qi on his body to his fingertip. The process was smooth as the Qi on his finger began to thin with stability.
Soon, after another minute, the Qi on his pointed finger already become half of the width of his little finger... before finally exploding after another minute.

"Huff~ So tired!"
Leo lay on the ground, gasping heavily for air as he tilted his head to the side, looking at the groups in the distance who were cultivating.
Hmm, why didn't I try it before?
Staring at the group that was circulating their cultivation technique in the distance silently. Watching as they inhaled an amount of Qi every second, a sudden idea emerged in Leo's mind.
Feeling excited about the probability of his thought, Leo immediately took out two Enlightenment stones from his inventory, holding them tightly in his hands as he hastily closed his eyes.
"I should try circulating the cultivation technique..." Leo silently thought as he began to breathe based on his cultivation technique.
Closing his eyes, in addition to following the cultivation technique, Leo began to delve into the profoundness of the cultivation technique.
...
Take a long deep breath... feel the energy within one's body and surroundings... absorb them before making them resonate to one's soul...
Strengthening, condensing, cleansing... make one's Qi achieve a qualitative change, allowing it to gain a minute amount of soul power and after that, the strength of one's Qi will increase drastically.
Fill everything with Qi, fill the Body with Qi, fill the veins with Qi... Fill the heath with Qi... Make the Qi part of a being, and so make the Qi part of the soul...
Everything has a soul... Has soul?
Leo falls deeper and deeper toward the complexity of the low immortal cultivation technique, making him feel the bliss and death within him.
The higher and the deeper his understanding of this cultivation technique is, the higher the fear he was feeling.
Making him curious about the creator of this technique...
Believing that there was a huge probability that it was not a human being who created this.
...
Huff~ Read the next part on m|vl-e-mpyr
"I seem to understand what it meant but at the same time not," Leo mumbled under his breath as he unhurriedly opened his eyes, reflecting the grey irises within.
If someone stared into his eyes, they would probably fall into a daze, making them fall under the illusion of looking at their own reflection.
His previous pure dark eyes change into gray upon mastering the first part of his cultivation technique!
