Chapter 1201 Cultivation Realms Explained

?Michael squatted beside the body of the dwarf, carefully studying it for any clues or indications of what might have happened. The cut across the dwarf's throat was clean and precise, suggesting the work of a skilled assailant.

Meanwhile, feeling a sense of weakness enveloping her, Gaya closed her eyes to focus on the celestial energy around her. Despite not having fully adapted to the cultivation of this realm or ascended to godhood, she still retained the ability to use celestial energy, thanks to her Celestial stage status in the mortal realm before ascending.

However, to her shock, she could no longer feel the energy around her.

"I can't sense anything," she said, a hint of concern in her voice.

"It might be because this is one of those places Silvaris mentioned where we can't access energies or use spells," Michael responded to Gaya's concern while still examining the body.

Curious about Michael's abilities in this constrained environment, Gaya asked, "Can you use spells here?"

Michael looked up from the body for a moment before answering her.

"Seems like it hasn't affected me," he noted. His Godhood prevented the arrays from affecting him. But unfortunately, the same could not be said for the others in the pocket dimension.

"Being a god has its perks, I guess," Gaya rolled her eyes slightly at his response, half in jest, half in genuine frustration.

Examining the clean cut across the dwarf's throat, Michael furrowed his brow in thought.

"Whoever did this has done it before... many times," he said, his voice low and serious. The precision of the wound indicated a skilled, experienced killer.

After hearing Michael, Gaya squatted down next to him. Her fingers lightly touched the blood pooled on the ground.

"The blood's still warm," she said and paused for a moment.

"He was killed just moments ago." She looked up at Michael, her frown deepening.

"We've only been in this pocket dimension for about an hour, right? So, he must have been killed within that time." The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.

When he looked up from the body, he glanced around the area.

"But look around," he urged Gaya. "There are no footsteps, no broken twigs, nothing. It's like the killer just vanished."

He stood up, his gaze sweeping the forest. "Seems like we are dealing with a pro," he said.

Gaya, following Michael's lead, stood up and scanned the surroundings. The silence of the forest seemed more ominous now, knowing there was a seasoned killer hunting in the woods.

"We need to be extra careful," Gaya said, her voice tinged with caution.

But before they could take a step forward, Gaya looked down to examine the clean cut on the dwarf's throat. Then, she folded her arms as a look of realization crossed her face.

As they continued their cautious walk through the forest, with Gaya seizing the opportunity to delve into a topic that had been on her mind.

"I forgot to ask, but does everyone who ascends to the realm of gods from the mortal realm retain their cultivation, or how does it work?" she inquired, her curiosity evident in her tone.

"Before five thousand years ago, when the barrier wasn't around, those who ascended either were reborn with no memories of the mortal realm and with no powers, starting as mortals in this realm. A few chosen ones regained their memories and bodies but lost their cultivation from the mortal realm."

Gaya chuckled at the thought. "If the big wigs in the mortal realm knew this, they'd be pretty pissed off. Probably choose not to cultivate higher than the Half Celestial realm," she mused, imagining the reactions of powerful cultivators to this revelation.

She then added with a slightly sarcastic tone, "The 'chosen few' sounds like a fancy way of being a god's lap dog."

Michael gave a small smile, acknowledging the truth in her words. "It does seem that way. Being chosen comes with its own set of strings and conditions. It's not as pretty as it sounds,"

As they walked through the forest, Gaya couldn't help but feel a sense of calm, despite the potential dangers that lurked around them.

"You know, despite the killer or killers in this forest, I feel quite calm taking a stroll with you," she said to Michael, her tone reflecting a mix of contentment and irony.

Soon, the conversation then shifted to the complexities of cultivation in this world.

"You know, I find the cultivation here damn confusing, especially after hearing how Raphael managed to beat you, a god, when he's just an angel," Gaya remarked, her brows furrowing in puzzlement.

"It's actually simpler when you think about it," he began to explain.

"In the realm of gods, there are nine stages of cultivation." He listed them casually.

"Initiate Realm, Qi Awakening Realm, and so on, up to the Divine Ascendancy Realm." He paused for a moment before continuing.

"The higher one's cultivation, like if someone is at the fifth stage, they can absorb the grace of a level 5 god and temporarily reach the power of that level god. That's how Raphael managed to beat me. Without using the grace, even at the highest cultivation stage, he wouldn't have stood a chance."

Gaya listened intently, processing the information.

"So, even a level 1 fledgling god can kill a Divine Ascendancy realm cultivator?" she asked, seeking clarification.

"Yes," Michael confirmed. "Even a level one, fledgling god possesses power that transcends the highest mortal cultivation stage,"

Gaya, intrigued by the conversation about cultivation and the power of gods, turned her attention to Michael's own abilities.

"When are you planning to upgrade those dark flames of yours and reach godhood level 3, the Greater God level?" she asked, a curious edge to her voice.

Michael glanced at her, considering his next steps. "I need three more Seeds of Darkness to reach level 3 godhood," he explained.

"I'm planning to upgrade the flames before I go to the Assassin's Guild, but that depends on whether the situation allows it."

The quest for the Seeds of Darkness was not just a matter of increasing his power but also a strategic move. Reaching the Greater God level would significantly enhance his abilities and power, potentially giving him more breathing space to deal with the pantheon.

"Well, let's hope we find those seeds soon," she said while walking beside him.
