Chapter 144: Secret to Surpassing the Mortal Cultivation Level Part 3

The Golden Flame Inheritance was able to gauge whether Damian was ready to unlock the next thing from the inheritance from his body and mind.

Once the inheritance had confirmed that Damian wanted to cultivate externally and sensed that he had realised that Internal and External cultivation could be harmonised, he unlocked two things.

Damian was on the right track, but peak Mortal Cultivators in the country that had cultivated to the peak of the Mortal Cultivation Level both internally and externally, such as the king, had also found that they could be harmonised.

For Damian to notice that at the low cultivation that he was at and at his young age, showed how much of a young talent and prodigy he was in general, not only in terms of cultivation and combat.

His perceptivity was incredible and without realising it, he did difficult things such as forming skills instantly, yet thought that they were easy and that other people could do the same, not knowing that it could take others weeks or even months to learn his skill with a manual.

Opening the second manual that he had gained within his mind from the Golden Flame Inheritance, Damian was surprised by what he found. It was some sort of technique, but from the first page, the technique wasn't like any that Adam had seen before.

There were training techniques, breathing techniques and techniques that would help the user to increase their speed, power or other things, but the technique he was reading showed him how to harmonise his Golden Flame with his Golden Flame Tempered Body.

It required him to cultivate his Golden Flame within his dantian to the peak level of the Mortal Cultivation Level and his Golden Flame Body to the same level, and then he would be able to completely harmonise them to the point of them fusing.

Once he reached that point, he would be able to break through the Mortal CulivationLevel just like he had thought. However, he had underestimated how difficult it would be and he had simplified the idea within his mind without realising how many people had failed in doing so.

It didn't only require talent, but in most cases required large amounts of energy and resources, while also required incredible control for the breakthrough.

It usually took cultivators multiple attempts to break through the Mortal Cultivation Level and from what he was reading, the Mortal Cultivation Level wasn't even a cultivation level.

At the so-called Mortal Cultivation, Level one was still shackled by their mortality and humanity, which was because they were a race that were born as Mortals that didn't have the potential to cultivate.

However over time they were evolving and developing and the introduction to the technique informed him that areas with denser energy, would have humans that developed faster. They would breed children with higher talent gradings and because of that, they would have better techniques and cultivation methods that they were able to create together using that talent.

With denser energy, more cultivation resources would have also formed and they would also have more powerful beasts to hunt, making them on a completely different level to other humans that were born in areas with less dense energy.

Humans were unknowingly selective breeding and the weak were being separated from the strong, with the strong continuing to breed with the strong, in the hopes of breeding stronger humans.

Although there could be some unexpected and rare cases when there are mutations and where people with low talent can give birth to talented offspring.

The weak couldn't do anything to the strong and complain, while the gap between them continued. Around the continent, small countries, towns and villages could be found with merely a handful of low-level cultivators, while the rest of them would live normal lives because of their low cultivation talent.

Damian was lucky that he was born into a noble family, even if they abused and hated him, as it allowed him to get into cultivation and everything he had done and experienced previously, was what made him who was at that moment.

He continued reading and the more he read, the more amazed and enlightened he was.

There was a possibility of other mutations for humans and all beings, and it was very hard for one to break their shackles and surpass their genetic and racial limits.

It implied to Damian that were more races, such as the Shadow Kin that might have been born at higher cultivation levels and probably had evolved from being weak creatures over thousands of years because of the dense energy in their area.

It also implied that it was possible to break those shackles and limits, and as long as there was even a slight possibility, Damian would work and fight towards the peak without looking back or giving up.

Everything that was revealed to him was the glue that he needed to stick everything that he had seen and found out about so far in his cultivation journey and Damian was quite sure that he was one of the most knowledgeable people in the country.

He was only 10 and had only begun cultivating 5 months ago, yet had developed so much and with his luck was somehow able to gain incredible things despite being in a small and weak country.

However even in the small and weak country that he was in, he was still weak and he needed to work hard and increase his strength so that he can explore the rest of the continent, the rest of the world and the rest of the universe.

Utsusu wasn't able to get into or access the Golden Flame Inheritance no matter how many times he tried and even though they shared a body, Damian and Utsusu were different beings, so the inheritance didn't allow him to access it.

However, Damian still passed on everything that he had found out to Utsusu, then sat in a lotus position to gather everything that he knew and had found out, then was going to plan his next move.
