"Ah...Moving on. Qin I've been meaning to ask, how did you get to your level? I did not think there was anyone as powerful as you are."(Mike)
"...Everything was different in my time, there were a lot more powerful beings in that time."(Qin)
"...What happened to them?"(Mike)
"...They transcended this realm."(Qin)
"Transcended? Okay that doesn't explain how you got this strong."(Mike)
"I cultivated my spirit."(Qin)
"Cultivated? Like in ki?"(Mike)
"Ki? That is a lesser form of energy. The spirit is a higher tier."(Qin)
"What's the difference?"(Mike)
"The difference lies in the difficulty and benefits. Ki is easier to cultivate, The benefits is that it is easier,but if one cultivates Ki, they will never reach immortality, since ki only strengthens the body. Spirit is more difficult to cultivate, one needs to have gone through many tribulations to even feel ones spirit. The benefits however are tremendous, spirit cultivates the body and mind, unlocks a person's potential, as well as ones talents in the form of an ability. I say this is tremendous because a person can have multiple talents and if they cultivate their spirit, they will have multiple abilities. Besides the ability one will shed their mortal skin and reach a higher state, which is immortality. The greatest thing about cultivating the spirit is that at the end one can create their own universe and become a Universe Creator."(Qin)
"...Wow so does people that transcended became Universe Creators?"(Mike)
"No they became Gods, which are lesser gods and not true gods."(Qin)
"...What was the order of power?"(Mike)
"The power order is: Tribulation, Immortal, Dao heart, Deity, God, True God, Sovereign, Over Lord, Universe Creator."(Qin)
"Wow...So you weren't the strongest?"(Mike)
"I was the second strongest, I was a peak Deity level being."(Qin)
"Was?"(Mike)
"That tomb would take some of my cultivation every 100 years, so my level dropped to an Immortals, but I should be able to cultivate it back if I do closed-door training for a year."(Qin)
"That quick?"(Mike)
Stolen novel; please report.
"Hahaha I still have the cultivation of a deity, I just don't have enough spirit energy, if I did I would have never lost to you."(Qin)
"...I see..."(Mike)
"...Yes I have also been meaning to ask, how did you get this strong as well? I sense no cultivation from you, it also seems like you can create anything."(Qin)
"sigh*...I have abilities..."(Mike)
"Impossible! If you cultivated spirit I would sense it!"(Qin)
"No I didn't do any cultivation. Lets just say I had a fortuitous encounter."(Mike)
"Ah! I see."(Qin)
"Yeah so what does each power rank detail?"(Mike)
"Tribulation is where one goes through trials to see if they are worthy to cultivate their Spirit. Immortal is where one sheds their mortal skin and impurities. Dao Heart is where one strengthens their belief and ideology. Deity is where one gets enlightened by a portion of the world. God is where one comprehends one element of nature. True God is where one fully understands their element. Sovereign is where one creates a domain of their comprehension on the element. Over Lord is where one starts to have full control of an element and are starting to understand other elements, and Universe Creator is where one fully understands each element and are able to bring them together to create their own universe."(Qin)
"..."(Mike)
I go up to Qin and give him a pat on his shoulder.
"pat*...Qin...You have a long road ahead."(Mike)
"..."(Qin)
"Once we're done here I'll make a space for you, so you can go into closed-door training, Just tell me all the things you would need."(Mike)
"...Thank you Michael."(Qin)
"Don't sweat it, I would actually be the one benefiting the most. To have a Future Universe Creator as an ally? Fuck Yeah!"(Mike)
"..."(Qin)
"cough*... Well do you want to watch this movie with me?."(Mike)
"Movie?"(Qin)
"Yes, do you want to? It's called Dead Pool, probably the funniest action movie this year!"(Mike)
"...Okay."(Qin)
"Nice!"(Mike)
We then sit down on the couch and I restart the movie.
