📖Quick Fact:

‘Celestial Aura Ascension’

‘Celestial Aura Ascension’ is a cultivation technique that needs to be practiced from the start of one’s cultivation journey. Due to this reason, even though some Emperors have it with them, they can’t use it.

‘Sky Body Resonance’

‘Sky Body Resonance’ is a body tempering technique among the top 10. One cannot rank a body tempering technique as the best, as each has pros and cons. ‘Sky Body Resonance’ is very effective if practiced to its full extent, but simultaneously, the journey is a challenging route one has to take.

In the last chapter, we saw Ember starting her cultivation journey with the ‘Celestial Aura Ascension’ technique, but because her body was not ready for it, she had to first begin by tempering her body using one of the top body tempering methods called ‘Sky Body Resonance.’

After a week of practicing the ‘Sky Body Resonance’ technique, Ember opens her eyes….

“I successfully broke through the first and second levels in such a short amount of time of the Body Refining stage of ‘Sky Body Resonance,’ which means I have removed all the impurities from the flesh.”

The high-ranking technique ‘Sky Body Resonance’ is a body tempering technique that helps reconstruct the body. The technique is divided into five major techniques, which help achieve Unbreakable Sky Body.

Every major stage in ‘Sky Body Resonance’ is further divided into Beginner, Intermediate, and Perfection minor stages. The one who achieves Perfection at every stage can achieve the Unbreakable Sky Body.

The first stage of ‘Sky Body Resonance’ is Body Refining, which means making the flesh as strong as Iron.

The second stage is Blood Refinement, where the bloodline is awakened and which helps enhance their physical and magical abilities. (Information: There are many unique bloodlines in the world.)

The third stage is Ivory Forging, also known as Bone Forging. Users can increase their physical strength, resilience, and agility by strengthening their bones.

The fourth stage is Visceral Reconstruction, where cultivators can repair or reconstruct damaged organs, heal severe injuries, or even enhance their physical abilities by reshaping their bodies.

The fifth and last stage is Transcendence. This stage helps the cultivator ascend beyond their humanity's limitations or current power level. This stage can result in a dramatic transformation or destruction of the cultivator, so you can say it is a double-edged sword.

Ember has broken through the Intermediate level of the Body Refining stage….

“Now that my strength has increased rapidly, I think it’s time I attempt to challenge the skies. But wait, I totally forgot about the requirements to challenge the skies.”

Not anyone can challenge the skies. The Noble families have complete control over who enters and who doesn’t challenge the skies; for me to be able to challenge the skies, I have one of two options. The first is to get a recommendation from one of the Noble families…but that doesn’t seem convenient because no one will pay attention to an average Earthling from the outskirts of a distinct village. I can’t blow my cover so soon, too. I need to hide my identity as Serene, the Soul Queen. The second option is to pay your way, which again doesn’t seem feasible because I have no money.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

“I guess I need to talk to Mister Ryu and seek his advice on the situation.”

Ember arrives at Mister Ryu’s house, and as always, Mister Ryu is sitting in his armchair without a single worry in the world. As soon as I arrived near his gate, I saw that Mister Ryu had already noticed me. I slowly opened the gate and made my way towards Mister Ryu.

“Hello there, Miss Ember; it looks like you made quite some progress, so what brings you to this humble person’s house,” said Mister Ryu.

“You can see through everything, can’t you, Mister Ryu...but today, I have come to you for a different matter,” I said.

“Then please tell me about it,” he said.

“As I told you, I plan to challenge the skies, so I have come to you to ask you for a favor,” I said.

“How can I help you?” he questioned.

“Well, you might not be aware, but to challenge the skies, you either have to get a recommendation from a noble family or pay a huge amount of money,” I said.

“Ohh, I see, so you are in a tough situation,” he said and continued. “But you are wrong about one thing; there is a third option, too,” he said with a smirk.

“A third option? What is it?” I asked.

“I don’t know if you have heard about the phrase ‘The Triad of Nature leads to the Temple of Trinity,’” he said.

I didn’t know what the phrase meant then, but the way Mister Ryu described it sent a shiver down my spine. Questions started coming to my brain about What Mister Ryu meant to say by the phrase ‘The Triad of Nature leads to the Temple of Trinity’ and why it had so much power.

“‘The Triad of Nature leads to the Temple of Trinity.’ what is that?” I asked curiously.

“Have you ever heard of the old story in which they say if you find the three relics in nature, you can open the door to Trinity Temple,” he said confidently.

“Even if what you say is true, isn’t it just a made-up story?” I questioned.

“Well, what if I said it is the truth,” he said.

That sentence slightly took me back, but I still hesitated.

“How can you be so confident? And even if there is a small chance that it is the truth, how will it help me in the current situation,” I asked.

“I am a merchant, and information is the strongest weapon of a merchant. And when you ask me how this will help you in your current situation, let me add to the story. It is said that if you find all three relics in nature and open the door to Trinity Temple, you can find many treasures, so you may find something to help you in your current situation,” he said

“So what you mean is that if I find the three relics and open the door to the Temple of Trinity, I can find something that will help me challenge the skies,” I asked.

“Yes, but the journey won’t be easy, Miss Ember,” he said.

“I want to challenge the skies, so how can I be scared of dangers on Earth,” I said confidently, adding, “So where should we start? Where can we find these three relics of nature.”

Mister Ryu said with a smirk, “Well, you see, I have an ancient map that leads to the edge of the Earth, which is restricted for mankind as survival is impossible. What do you say, Miss Ember? Are you up for the challenge?”

“I am born ready, Mister Ryu,” I said confidently.

“Great, then give me a week to prepare everything, and we shall depart for the adventure,” said Mister Ryu.

“But where are we going, Mister Ryu?” I asked out of curiosity.

“About that……”
