Omnipotent Husband System

Chapter 147: Path Of Cultivation.

Hao Ren stood up from the ground and picked up his clothes. He thought, 'Old Boy Hao said that I have to stay here till I understand the essence of spiritual energy. I can leave now, but I have to go and find that ruin and locate the chaos stone inside it.'

The young man finished dressing up and took out his knife. He was famished and needed to eat something really quickly. The pond was occupied by crocodiles, so Hao Ren doubted the possibility of catching fish. The only other options he had at his disposal was to locate fruit, or small animals that could be used for their meat.

In the forest he did not have the luxury to find chicken and toss it on the stove to make a nice stir fry chicken dish. He shook his head and headed inside the tree line. The forest was so dense that Hao Ren felt a little claustrophobic.

He slashed his knife at the long grass to move forward. The wild grass had grown as tall as his chest thanks to the ample rain and shallow tree cover. After fifteen minutes, Hao Ren managed to come out of the tall grass, but suddenly he turned around and slashed the knife diagonally.

The blade was like a silver flash and it collided with the skull of a viper that attacked Hao Ren from the back. The hit from the blade cut the viper's head in two before the reptile fell to the ground. However, it was still squirming. Hao Ren knew that a viper's head can attack even after being chopped.

He thought of something and bent down and took out a glass beaker from his space ring and extracted the venom from the reptile before burying the head in a shallow pit. Hao Ren stored the poison vessel and the snake corpse in his space ring before he looked around and decided to keep moving for a bit.

The forest looked all the same and the dense canopies blocked the sunlight. Hao Ren did not face the tall grass but the humidity was very annoying, within a couple of hours, his shirt was drenched in sweat.

He was moving toward the ruin, and on the way he found a few herbs that would serve as a good insect and snake repellent. Hao Ren crushed the herbs and made them into a paste before applying it on his arms and the back of the neck. He also smeared some of it on his pants.

He found a small water stream and sat down next to it before starting a fire. However, this time he did not use the wooden shaft but the spiritual energy particles of the fire element, and the wood caught fire on its own.

Hao Ren nodded at this and decided to use this method to train his elemental control abilities. He cleaned the snake corpse and cooked the meat with a meat skewer while he swallowed the snake gall as it is. Hao Ren had never eaten all this but after the day in the Empress international, his mental fortitude was on another level, eating a snake did not bother him.

Hao Ren was eating the meat with a cold expression on his face, because he did not store any spices in the space ring. When he finished eating, he used his yin and yang eyes to check if the water was clean. He re-filled his bottle and then he continued on his journey.

Han Lingshi was cultivation and Tang Zen was guiding her patiently. Han Lingshi had been absorbing everything like a sponge. Tang Zen, and Hao Xinyuan were surprised at her talent, for the past two days, she had put everything aside and concentrated on learning the basics. Although she was not yet at the spirit gathering realm, but her body refinement was moving at a terrifying pace.

Han Lingshi opened her eyes when she finished her session and Tang Zen said, "You can now attach the spiritual energy to your skin, and separate them into different portions, this is the final step before you reach the spirit gathering realm. However, Lingshi, I will ask you a question and you should think carefully about it before answering."

Han Lingshi nodded and Tang Zen asked, "In cultivation, there are three paths, one is the path of a body refiner, and the other is the spiritual cultivator. The people who refine body are mostly men, and they temper their bodies to the level where they are strong enough to deflect a missile with a punch and walk unharmed.

The spiritual cultivators can level a city with their spiritual energy if they reach a high enough level. Both paths have their advantages and disadvantages. Lastly, the third path, these people are called the irregulars, they master the body refining and the spiritual cultivation at the same time."

Han Lingshi asked, "What are the cons of these paths, Ma?"

Tang Zen smiled faintly and said, "The body refiners cannot use high level spiritual spells. The spirit cultivators are physically weaker, and the irregulars are slowest. However, the last one is a monster who could jump levels as fight. There aren't many people who can walk both paths at the same time to make up for the weaknesses in each of them."

Han Lingshi thought about it and said, "I would need some time to decide about this."

Tang Zen nodded and said, "Take your time, the cultivation sutra you have will help you attain the peak in any path you wish, but it will come to your will."

Han Lingshi nodded and took her leave to go to the office. It has been two days, and Maya Okudera had just came back from her recovery leave, it was not wise of her to shove all the work to someone else.

...

Hao Ren did not stop until it was night and luckily he found a small hill in the forest. He climbed the top of it, and located a big tree. He climbed the tree with ease as well, and rested in the crown, with his yin and yang eyes, he could see everything vibrantly even in the dark of the night.

He found many predators, like black panthers have come out of their nests and were hunting in the dead of the night. The life in the forest was much more active at night than it was during the day. Hao Ren lay on his back and looked at the stars peeking at him and he fell asleep.

In the morning, Hao Ren woke up completely refreshed and he dashed through the forest, making his way to the ruins. The Yin and Yang eyes allowed him to avoid all the predators as they glowed with a crimson red energy. He was fast and restless. His physical capabilities were improving at a violent speed.

In two hours, he reached the vicinity of the ruins. Even the beasts who were born in this place might not be his match. Hao Ren walked ahead and the trees vanished. Before him was a giant rectangular pyramid. The place was seven floors high and was made up of different type of stones.

The young man looked around and found there was not entrance. He frowned and then moved ahead to climb the steps. However, suddenly he stopped, he could sense a gaze locked onto his back. He did not know why but he felt very uneasy. Thinking about it, Hao Ren sat down on the floor and closed his eyes.

The feeling of being watched was true, Hao Ren's meditation allowed him to sense the gaze even better, or shall we say gazes. He opened his eyes and said, "Hmm, I knew it won't be easy."

The young man stood up and asked, "Since you have come over to watch me, why don't you reveal yourselves."
