I Summoned Demon and Angel in Cultivation World

"It seems like I still have a lot of work on."

Tyler muttered, but he didn’t look dissatisfied or even angry despite losing so easily against Shiro.

"Hmm! Your strength is not bad. Even though I controlled my blood Qi and wind Qi, I have also comprehended the power of Wind Element."

Shiro jumped on his shoulder and patted his head.

"I hope so. There is still a month left. Hopefully, I can complete the four vortices of the Five Elements within a month."

Tyler replied.

"I also hope you can do that."

A voice suddenly rang out, and before Tyler or Shiro could react, his teacher suddenly appeared in front of him.

Jonathan was wearing the same attire as he wore before. He looked at Tyler with a huge grin on his face.

"You really surprised me. I never thought you would think out of the box and create nine extra vortices inside the Dantian."

"Although it was quite risky. You should also know why."

His tone became a bit harsh when he said that.

Tyler hurriedly nodded.

"Yes, teacher! There is only so much our Dantian can contain."

Jonathan nodded.

"Yes, the Dantian is a separate dimension from our body, but it is connected through meridians, which allows us to use it like a storage bag."

"But the Dantian is more mysterious and powerful than a storage bag because it can slowly merge with the cultivator."

"This process isn’t random. The thin membranes of the Dantian are connected to your stomach, and slowly their connections will only grow."

"That’s why if you put too much Qi inside the Dantian, it will grow until it tears apart your stomach and the body."

"The Dantian itself can enlarge continuously, but the space inside it is very limited. This space is connected to our Qi."

"That’s why every time your spiritual root refines Qi, it passes a small portion of that Qi into the Dantian since they are connected."

"This isn’t much, but slowly, the size of the Dantian increases. When you transform your gaseous Qi into Liquid Qi, your Dantian will finally go through an evolution."

"Liquid Qi? Teacher, is that the step towards the Foundation Establishment Realm?"

Jonathan paused before remembering he chose not to tell Tyler about this.

He nodded and continued.

"Foundation Establishment Realm, also known as the True Start of Longevity."

"In the Qi Refining Realm, regardless of how extraordinary a person is, his lifespan would be less than one hundred and twenty years."

"But upon reaching Foundation Establishment Realm, that lifespan could reach up to one hundred and eighty years, an increase of sixty years."

"Not to mention, people can take the body cultivation route, take extraordinary life force pills or treasures, and increase their lifespan to two hundred years."

"The Foundation is divided into three steps: Blood Qi, True Qi, and Divine Sense. The aspect is Blood Qi."

"By constantly tempering your blood with Qi, your blood will start producing Blood Qi similar to the beasts."

"But the quantity and quality are extremely low. So, a cultivator must constantly temper their bodies to raise those requirements."

"Their bodies should be strong enough to bear the impact of life force, as life force can halt the regeneration process for a short period of time every day."

"This is why cultivators grow very slowly at the start, but once they hit over two-thirds of their lifespan, their bodies start deteriorating extremely quickly."

"Not to mention, to sustain the increase in life force, the blood Qi must be strong enough to go through rapid transformation."

"So, if you are above the age of eighty, it would be impossible to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm."

"The best time is around the age of twenty, and the limit for future progress is age fifty."

"Do you understand?"

Tyler nodded. His body had always been strengthening itself, which meant he didn’t need to worry about body cultivation.

Of course, if he could practice body cultivation, he would do his best.

"The next thing is True Qi. When Qi is presented in gaseous form, it dissipates into the air pretty quickly."

"A cultivator needs to use a large amount of Qi just to sustain it for a longer period or use a spell to control it."

"So, to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, their Qi must transform. But transforming Qi can’t be random."

"There is a clear path, from gaseous state to liquid to solid state. Of course, liquid Qi or semi-liquid state is the normal state of Qi."

"So, you need to compress it. This compression generally generates heat, which can distort or even destroy the Dantian."

"So, you need to use the spiritual root to refine more Qi, use that Qi to draw out the heat into the body and disperse it"

"That’s why it seems impossible for those with weaker spiritual roots to improve and reach this realm."

"Once you start to disperse that heated Qi into the body, it merges with the blood cells and strengthens the body."

"This process goes hand in hand with the process of forming Blood Qi. The heated Qi tempers both body and Dantian."

"After they are tempered several times and when the first drop of Liquid Qi falls into the Dantian, it disperses all the vitality released during that compression."

"That vitality merges with your Dantian and your cells, improving both at the same time."

"The vitality increases the size of the Dantian, increases the life force of the body, and makes the body stronger."

Hearing that, Tyler asked.

"Teacher, what if a person already has a strong body and a lot of Blood Qi?"

Jonathan nodded.

"Then, it will take you more effort to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm but results will also be greater."

"I saw your Blood Qi. It’s rivaling beasts at the peak of First Tier. Besides that, you need to use the pull of the vortices together."

"By using the spiritual sense, you need to merge these vortices into a single platform or even a structure."

"The shape doesn’t matter, but the size does. It can be anything: a rope, a tree, a sword, a ball, a ring, or even a house."

"But once formed, this foundation releases a strong elemental force. In your case, it will release Five Elements Force and Light Force."

"Guide these forces to your sea of consciousness and use them to break the membrane around the soul."

"Why do you need these specific forces? Because they have the power to break the membrane, but because they are made from pure elemental force, they won’t harm the soul."

"Instead, they will merge with the soul and help you improve your soul. Transforming your spiritual sense into Divine Sense."

He pointed at his body and said.

"Currently, you have only opened five meridians. Once you open the seventh meridian, you will find that meridian taking your Qi to the sea of consciousness."

"While Qi generally doesn’t harm the soul, it also can’t merge with the soul because of that membrane. So, your spiritual sense will be very weak."

"Its strength will depend on the purity and strength of your soul. Only after you break that membrane can you merge your Qi with the soul."

"This produces something known as Soul Qi. Soul Qi is the driving force behind the spiritual sense, and unlike Qi, it doesn’t disperse easily."

"That means you can use soul Qi to send a message thousands of miles away or use soul Qi to control objects around you."

Hearing that, Tyler asked.

"So, are Divine Sense, Spiritual Sense, and Soul Qi different?"

Jonathan nodded his head.

"Divine Sense refers to Spiritual Sense formed from Soul Qi. Spiritual Sense is a direct manifestation of soul energy."

"Soul Qi is the product of soul energy and Qi. Spiritual Sense is the purest form of soul energy, while Divine Sense uses soul energy enhanced by Qi."

"Divine Sense is used outside the body, while Spiritual Sense is only used when your soul is strong enough to sustain the consumption of the soul energy."

"Regardless, Divine Sense is a superior version of Spiritual Sense, just like how True Qi is superior to Qi."

"Once you awaken Divine Sense, you can do more than just control objects. You can also use soul arts."

"These are special techniques that can affect the souls directly."

Hearing that, Tyler’s eyes widened.

"Does that mean a Foundation Established Cultivator can kill a Qi Refiner with a single thought?"

Jonathan nodded.

"If he knows a soul art. But of course, your soul currently has a membrane protecting it. It will affect you, but it will not destroy your soul."

"Unless your enemy is in the Golden Core Realm. So, breaking the membrane makes your soul vulnerable, but it also gives you more chances of evolution."

Hearing that, Tyler released a deep breath and bowed.

"Thank you for your teaching!"

Jonathan smiled.

"This is knowledge you need to understand to take the next step in your journey. Once the New Year competition ends, I have something important for you."

"Until then!"

As he said that, his body simply vanished.
