‘Whatever There is no use brooding over something that only benefits me. I should instead divert my focus to my inadequate cultivation base.’ A resolute expression emerged on Azmond’s stoic face, while he clenched his fists till they became white.

‘I was content with mediocrity before meeting Loki and Thor. But after hearing about ‘weak’ beings larger than stars… I realized how truly powerless I was on the grand scale of things.’

A topic that would usually put Azmond in a glum mood was brought up. And yet, his impassive expression never left his face

It was almost like something inside of him was gradually changing. Or rather, something was adapting to this new world of his

He knew that there would always be someone stronger than him. Did that mean he should become a depressed emo every single time he realized he wasn’t as strong as he thought he was??

Of course not!

Azmond had already come to terms with reality while inside the pocket dimension.

He wouldn’t allow himself to sulk over something as ridiculous as someone being stronger than he was anymore!

…..

The days pass as time flies by unannounced

Half a month had passed since Azmond began cultivating again.

He had already achieved the pinnacle of the 15th Stage of Quantum Qi Condensation with 12 Cultivation Condensation cycles completed.

It took him quite a while to reach this point, unlike the previous minor breakthroughs he had experienced since arriving at the spiritual stone garden. However, Azmond didn’t mind the slightly longer cultivation time required. After all, this next breakthrough would be a doozy!

…

A decrepit figure sat in a lotus position next to a large spiritual stone. His face and body were beyond bloodied, as not a single distinct feature could be seen.

Despite the detrimental state of the bloodied figure. A large slightly distorted smile was still plastered on his face

‘The Quantum Foundation Establishment Stage is right in front of me! All I have to do is teach and grab it!’ A slight sense of anticipation filled Azmond’s heart.

He was really looking forward to what sort of power he would be capable of wielding once he had officially broken through the Foundation Establishment Stage.

He knew that it had to be something spectacular!

Azmond’s breakthrough process began a few days ago.

And as a result, at this point in time, he had already reached the zenith of his breakthrough into the Quantum Foundation Establishment Stage!

A cultivator would normally need to prepare for years or even dozens of years before attempting their breakthroughs into the Foundation Establishment Realm.

That is not to mention the expenditures that the average cultivator would need to spend on pills before subsequently spending even longer periods of time consuming them.

Whereas in Azmond’s case, he had no clue what a ‘pill’ in this world counted as, and he sure as hell didn’t need to spend years on a single breakthrough.

The thought of staying stagnant in a single realm for dozens of years was an extremely foreign concept to him.

Little did he know that multiple years used up in one cultivation session was nothing out of the ordinary for cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm. Let alone the realms that lie beyond

One cultivation session for Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators could be prolonged for hundreds of years in one sitting. An utterly ludicrous number when compared to the current Azmond’s cultivation sessions.

….

The skies above the garden of Spiritual stones were going through tumultuous times as a certain insane cultivator was breaking through into the Foundation Establishment Realm.

The clouds in the skies surrounding this cultivator had already been scattered across the Nine Heavens. However, it didn’t just stop there, as everything within a thousand miles was no more

Even the atmosphere was struggling to breathe under the intense aura being released by Azmond.

An aura that he had inadvertently produced with his breakthrough into the Quantum Foundation Establishment Realm.

It wasn’t like he was actively trying to destroy everything around him when breaking through

It was all an unfortunate series of events!

I just want to break through in peace! But my slightly intense way of cultivating may have gotten in the way a little!

‘Slightly intense’ he says

The man, where it was unknown whether he even had a single droplet of blood left within his body Really had the audacity to call his cultivation method ‘slightly intense’…

…..

The skies above were in utter turmoil as the side effects of Azmond’s breakthrough were nothing short of disastrous for the air space.

Bright dazzling lights of condensed Qi shot out in every direction, as it literally began to ‘rain fire’ from the skies.

Luckily for Azmond, and for Crystalline. Azmond had already foresaw this happening and made the necessary preparations down below…

The number of soul essence shields protecting Crystalline had already reached a number that any average cultivator would find insane.

To use so much soul essence on protecting one single being was nothing short of suicide.

Not that Azmond cared about such nonsense!

“…”

Splendiferous lights bounced off and rebounded on every part of Azmond’s battered body. You would think that he would just let the excess Qi go its own way. But you would be wrong!

Azmond was not one to waste food!

He would never, in his wildest dreams, entertain the idea of wasting a big dinner feast brought straight to his doorstep!

“Hahahaha!!”

The maniacal laughter of the crazed man echoed out across the vast expanse of open skies as the Qi came down even more ferocious than before!

Azmond, despite the excruciating pain, had never felt better in his entire life!

The amount of power that was beginning to build up within him had already achieved levels that his old self could have only dreamed of!

The breakthrough process had yet to conclude, and yet he was already feeling the boons of the imminent breakthrough into the Quantum Foundation Establishment Stage.

However

All good things come with a price
