What Alex swallowed was a Golden Pill that was meant for a Golden Core Stage martial warrior. It is something that contains an extremely large amount of energy, enough to cause a weaker Innate Stage cultivator to explode. This is also the reason why Alex hesitated at first before swallowing the pill.
If Atticus hasn't comforted him, Alex wouldn't have swallowed the Golden Pill.
One can think how shocking the energy contains inside the Golden Pill actually is. But such a large amount of energy was unable to let Alex directly step into the Enlightenment Stage from the Foundation Establishment Stage. It was only able to make him raise cultivation from Level 1 of the Foundation Establishment Stage to Level 9.
This made Alex let out a sigh!
But Alex was still surprised. The fact that the chaotic energy made it possible for him to swallow a pill meant for martial warriors of higher cultivation stages opened a new path for him. Now, he no longer has to restrict himself from duplicating these kinds of pills from powerful martial warriors. He could duplicate them and use them to increase his cultivation base.
Alex smiled when he think about it. Then he carefully looked inside his body and saw no problem, finally letting out a breath of relief. He then observed his dantian and nodded his head in satisfaction when he saw that there was no crack and even the chaos energy has increased from one strand to nine strands.
"Wait a moment?"
Alex looked at the nine strands of chaos energy and thought, is it possible that the number of chaos energy inside my dantian is representing my cultivation base?
Alex had no idea. He even asked Atticus but the reply made him disappointed.
According to Atticus, he did create the Primordial Chaos Nine Transformation, but after reaching the peak. He never got the chance to cultivate this cultivation technique, so he can't answer Alex.
He also said, "Alex, you are walking on a completely different path of cultivation now. The path you are walking has never been walked on by others. You have to step forward and explore whatever you'll find and encounter on this path on your own. But one thing I'm sure about is that as long as you can continue to walk on this path, there'll come a day when even I won't be your match even though your cultivation base will be weaker than me. So, cultivate well!"
Alex took a deep breath and nodded his head. He was excited in his heart because the path of cultivation that he is walking is entirely different from others and unique to him, and he was also fearful in his heart because of the unknown dangers he might encounter while walking on this path of cultivation.
Taking a deep breath, Alex took out another Golden Pill and swallowed it. Since the chaos energy could refine any pill, even though the said pill is meant for a higher cultivation base, he has nothing to worry about. He could simply swallow these pills and increase his cultivation base as much as possible before going back to the Floating Cloud Academy.
"BOOM!"
Very soon, Alex broke through to the First Level of Enlightenment Stage. But his cultivation didn't stop increasing. It kept increasing and only stopped after his cultivation increased from Level 1 of the Enlightenment Stage to Level 5 of the Enlightenment Stage.
The noticeable thing was that inside his dantian, the number of strands of chaos energy has reached from 9 to 101. He could feel massive power from each strand of these chaotic energies. What is more, when he swallowed the Golden Pill, he circulated the First Layer of Primordial Chaos Nine Transformation.
After breaking through continuously, it was not only his cultivation that increased, in fact, his body's strength also increased rapidly.
After that, one after another, Alex continued to swallow the Golden Pill and refine them, increasing his cultivation base rapidly.
His cultivation continued to increase at an extremely fast speed. But even so, there was no harm to his foundation. There were really many benefits of cultivating the Primordial Chaos Nine Transformation. First, he could swallow and absorb any pill even though the said pill is meant for higher cultivation base martial warriors. This was something told to him by Atticus and he experiences it for himself.
The second benefit that he himself explored was that cultivating the Primordial Chaos Nine Transformation will have a very strange and bizarre effect on his foundation. Even if he were to continuously breakthrough many stages of cultivation in a very short amount of time with the help of outer objects of other treasures, his foundation will never be weakened. Of course, his foundation will also not become strong. If he wants to make his foundation strong, he has to cultivate step by step like a normal martial warrior.
And Alex could do that in the future sometime. Since there is no harm to his foundation, it's good to break through as many times as he can in a short amount of time. There'll come a day when he'll be out of Energy Points and wouldn't have any treasure to increase his cultivation, at that time on that day, he'll cultivate to strengthen his foundation.
For now, his current foundation was not bad. It is still slightly stronger than other people.
Alex had a total of nine Golden Pills in his possession. It took him about two days of time to swallow and completely refine the energy produced by them.
The benefit of cultivating the Primordial Chaos Nine Transformation, even the refining speed of energy is extremely fast.
Normally, it would have taken him more than a week to completely refine the energy from nine Golden Pills, but now, it only took him two days. Of course, his increase in cultivation talent also mattered in this thing.
After completely refining the last Golden Pill, Alex's cultivation base also broke through the previous limit and has raised to an entirely new level. He was now already a Level 9 Innate Stage martial warrior.
As long as he could break through to the Golden Core Stage, after returning to the Floating Cloud Academy, he could advance to the Inner Sect and become an Inner Sect Disciple.
Alex still had a Spirit Origin Pill, but he decided not to swallow it, for it'll be better to keep some cultivation resources with him and wait for the correct opportunity than to use them immediately.
Taking a deep breath, Alex finally stood up. He then looked at Atticus who was watching him from beginning to end without even blinking. Alex was now left with only a single thing to do.
He went forward, kneeled down, and acknowledged Atticus as his master.
Atticus has given him simply too many benefits. These kinds of benefits, let alone a master, even biological parents might not give to their children.
"Good! Good!"
Atticus nodded his head and laughed out loud. Then he said, "I'll give you two years, in two years, become a Martial Emperor and come back to me. With the cultivation technique I've given you and the fact that you are a reincarnator, it'll not be impossible for you to become a Martial Emperor in two years. Not to mention, there is also something special inside your body. I don't know what that thing is, but from what I observed from the moment I awakened, your cultivation talent kept increasing from time to time without any reason. That mysterious thing must be the reason behind it."
Alex didn't reply and didn't show any emotion on his face.
Seeing no fluctuation of emotion on Alex's face, Atticus didn't continue talking about this topic, he said, "In two years if you can become a Martial Emperor and come to me, I'll tell you something that might interest you a lot."
"What is that thing?" Alex asked curiously.
"First, you have to become a Martial Emperor and come to me if you want to hear that thing. Also, let me tell you, that girl, Eloise, whom you met in the First Trial, has been reborn in this world. Since both of you are in the same world, you might get the opportunity to meet her again. After all, you've already seen her once!" Atticus replied.
"What? Really?"
This time, Alex was really shocked. He didn't expect Eloise to be reborn in this world as well. It seems there is some kind of connection between the two of them to meeting in the past and again meeting in the current timeline.
"Wait a moment?" Alex suddenly stopped his train of thought when he thought about meeting Eloise in the current timeline, and said, "You just that I've already met her once, when was it? Why don't I remember?"
"You don't remember meeting her because, in this life, she has a completely different face. Of course, she is still very beautiful, there might be a chance between the two of you. In her previous life, she never loved someone and never married. So, you can rest assured that she might think of looking for her love from her previous life."
