As soon as Ling Wei and Li Bing arrived at the Empire, they quickly left soon, upon Ling Wei's dissatisfaction towards the high profile he has.

"I meant to descend to the lower realm and being in an obscure sect without any background mother".

"Wei'er, why must you follow the path of your father, my cultivation reached the realm of Immortality without beginning from the bottom, if you stayed in our home, you would reach the realm of your father upon twenty".

"What about life and death experiences, and lucky chances".

"You fool, life and death experiences can be experienced in our illusion formations which is harmless, and these lucky chances are worth nothing, the best of which this realm has cannot even match a leaf of any tree in the garden.

Upon hearing his mother's rejection Ling Wei previously excited face was immediately downcasted and upon the persuasion of his mother silently followed her into an isolated location where even the strongest Spirit Tempering cultivator would not dare enter. Finding a location with a high concentration of spiritual qi, Li Bing summoned a temporary Residence.

The Residence, occupying nearly an area of a thousand li, would put even the grandest of palaces to shame, with formations preventing anyone below Immortality from even noticing it, along with attack formations that even the strongest of all cultivators would struggle against, upon entering, the grand hall shines a golden light which is the core of a massive qi gathering formation, and instantly the surrounding area became devoid of any spiritual qi.

Ling Wei obediently entered, along with the promise of journeying outside the next month under disguise he didn't have any rebuttal but to obediently idle with cultivation, with Li Bing personally monitoring his progress, he quickly reached a stable foundation in his realm, Dao Seeking, cultivators, reaching this realm cultivator's natural ability to seek the Dao would be tested with only a small percentage of all cultivators able to reach this realm, they would be counted as the cream of the crop, with abilities to destroy entire lower worlds through the flip of the hand, they are said to be constantly old monsters, the youngest is more than ten thousand years old, if others knew this five-year-old child has reached such a realm, they would undoubtedly doubt the fairness and heaven and lose their Dao.

After Dao Seeking is Immortality, upon merging with the Dao, cultivators would gain Immortality(I'll explain more of this on a later date), which only 8 individuals have reached, all of which are wives of Ling Kuanguang.

During the month-long seclusion, Ling Wei made advancements in his sword essence, making a major breakthrough, from sword essence transfer to sword manifestation. Sword essence transfer is the lowest of all sword cultivation, where cultivators would transfer their spiritual qi into the sword, making a single blade of grass as strong as steel, rotating the spiritual qi constantly to maintain an equal distribution. Sword manifestation, as the next stage, allows spiritual qi to be extended without a medium, with the minimum cultivation realm of Spirit Tempering, with only 1 in 10 thousand able to reach that realm.

Li Bing constantly coaxed Ling Wei to consume pills to increase his sword cultivation, but Ling Wei remained stubborn. After all, in all the web novels, pills should have detrimental effects, bring impurity to his spiritual essence.

"Wei'er, pills don't work like that, your father personally forged these pills for you to consume, and his essence is considered the best in the world in terms of purity, moreover, when your father was younger, he consumed pills without thinking at all, poison pills, beast pills, even aphrodisiacs pills were consumed, but his spiritual qi remained as pure as water.

Spiritual qi essence was categorised by their fluidity, from as solid as dirt or as free-flowing as water, it determines the speed and limits a cultivator can reach and is determined by several factors such as natural talent and cultivation technique, even the greatest of heavenly genius would have a sand-like spiritual qi if their manual was a poor one, greatly limiting their future. In the lower realms, even the best of cultivators would have a spiritual essence with the fluidity of mud due to the limits of their manuals.

Ling Wei meanwhile, is currently following the Heavenly Dao Technique, found by his father in an inheritance ground, it required a Dao Constitution to be cultivated. Immediately upon cultivating this technique, one would be connected instantly to the Heavenly Dao, skipping the realm of Immortality directly to Transcending Immortality, seeking the Heavenly Dao before any other Dao. The Dao Constitution itself is a heavenly gifted body, with a body naturally talented to cultivate numerous Daos, it allows the owner to cultivate at twice the speed at half the effort, however, it is limited through a great reduce of his lifespan, only able to live to 200 unless they reach Dao Seeking, along with its attractive ability to increase lifespan by 200 thousand years if forged into a pill, numerous individuals with a Dao Constitution has fallen, with only one expert ever living past the age of 200, the creator of the manual, which rumours state has gone for other worlds after reaching Immortality realm. However, the Dao Constitution's limited lifespan could be entirely eliminated if a Transcend Immortality individual interferes, directly granting the person with the flavour of the Heavenly Dao itself. Those with Dao Constitution constantly cultivate to avoid cruel fate, if they knew another person with Dao Constitution is currently happily fishing, they would surely be ashamed of themselves.

Finally, a month passed, and Ling Wei can begin his journey as the main protagonist.
