That way, she managed to sustain the entirety of her with a rather meager cultivation rank in the grand scheme of things.Īttaining the fourth rank increased the radius of activity centered around the throne room overseeing the mana springs as well as the avatar’s range of activity.įourth rank mana filled all three of the existing springs and with a new one welling forth, the mana crystals on the cave walls grew in size and the flora and fauna near the central island bloomed wildly. Once the dragon moved on, the mana drained from the environment and returned to stillness, saving energy and falling into inactivity. Wherever the girl moved, the mana radiated by her avatar invigorated the land and sustained the ecosystem, giving the illusion of a boundless world. Synchronously, the avatar of her thoughts roamed the lands in search of new landscapes or interesting sights, eager to explore and enjoy the hidden miracles of nature inside her mind. Within the existed two foci of mana, sustaining the life and activity of the surroundings.Ĭentered around the throne room in the center of her mental landscape, the dragon had unconsciously hoarded her treasures and possessions, as the mana springs in the cave sustained the life of the surroundings. Nevertheless, Nisha did not really possess an infinite amount of space, her cultivation was way below the requirements to sustain such a miracle. Normally, a magician that opened the would also experience changes to the invisible space with a rank up, such as increasing the area or enriching the environment, yet the dragon already transformed the space into her personal world, full of life and a functioning ecosystem, spanning over a seemingly infinite area.

Similar to the physical changes, a new spring of mana welled up and invigorated her. The difference in foundation appeared small at the beginning, but with every future advance, the gap between the elf and others who forced themselves to advance would only widen. Right from the start, her abundant vitality did not need to waste part of itself to repair the flaws and sublimated her blood instead, changing it in the process and adapting the whole body to the fourth rank. Nisha, on the other hand, waited until the perfected the first three levels of her foundation, excavating all the potential and strengthening them to their limit. One difference between attaining a natural breakthrough and forcing the improvement manifested itself in the foundation going forward in cultivation.īy forcing the rank up, the cultivator needed to address the flaw in their skin, flesh and bones first by nurturing them with fourth rank aura for a long time. In the first three levels of cultivation, aura enhanced the skin, flesh and bones, making them increasingly tough at each rank.Ĭurrently, the overflowing vitality drew on the existing foundation and invigorated the dragon’s blood, adapting to the changes that came with improved cultivation.

The superior energy would not remain within the body, at most it gave the illusion of handling it at a higher cultivation rank than one’s own felt.įollowing the natural breakthrough, changes happened to Nisha’s body and mind. On top of that, there was a difference between a natural breakthrough and forcefully advancing - Nisha held back her improvement until the energy in her body naturally overflowed, forming new channels for the aura to course through her flesh and new pathways for the mana to invigorate the dragon’s spirit.īefore molding the physical and spiritual form to enable handling fourth rank energy, it did not matter how much greater aura and mana an individual consumed. While the division between the third and fourth rank was not a major leap such as the distance between different realms, it was still the first major divide in cultivation and numerous humans and monsters never managed to take this first step until they died of old age or other reasons. Through cultivation, lifeforms longed to improve their order of life, attaining a higher rank and obtaining new capabilities and longer life. The rushing current of mana and aura inside her body accelerated more and more, until it finally overflowed and bridged the grand gap between the third and fourth rank.

With the gate broken open, Nisha had no chance to hesitate anymore.
