As Altima continued with his escape, he continues it with a Zig Zag formation, where he slowly hunted for the remaining Yin Poison Fanged Lizards before he reaches the border of the Grassland. Hesitant for a short while, Altima decided to turn around, and explore the surrounding border of the Valley of Lizards Tribe, and quickly dispose of a large number of Lizards scattered around the area. And with some evidently remains, Altima notice some special differences between the Lizards which resides within the deeper area and the outer area.
Outside of the Valley , where the lizards are residing closer towards the Marsh of Blood Suckling, all of them have a bigger and sturdier body compare to the deeper area within the valley. Although the cultivation remains the same, but if given the chances, perhaps this food source for the Lizards could make them mutated into a slightly better type of Lizards.
Immediately, Altima Proceed towards the marsh, and quickly hunt for the Blood Suckling, Thoroughly process them before he went back into the Lizards area, and scattered the meat all around for the Lizards to eat. In the first half day, none of the changes is applied on any of the Lizards which eaten all the Blood Suckling Meats. But through this way, Altima manage to obtain a few additional Scarlet Red Pearls into his inventory as well.
Very soon, As he waited for the next 2 days, Altima repeating almost all the hunting works he had been doing 2 days back, finally, a slight change in the group of lizard finally is noticeable through naked eyes. The Yin Poison Fanged Lizards started to grow significantly larger than other Lizards, as well as the stamina, agility and strength had gone up by at least one grade higher.
Altima had one of them hunted down, and checked on its internal and externally , but notice no differences had changed towards their body, but slightly stronger Undulation of Yang Energy started to appear within their Heart. Altima research more of them, thoroughly spend another total of 4 more days within the Border between the Valley of Lizards Tribe and Marsh of Blood Suckling. Running around, and Returning like an exile, Altima quickly gets used to his half week of practices using utmost attention towards checking his surrounding, and Hunting efficiently.
During the night where he was cultivating, Altima learned how to thoroughly absorb the Essence around before he started to Absorb them in whole. In where, with such method, the Cultivation could be controlled and raise immediately, leaving a result of highly unexpected changes each moment during his cultivation. Throughout this half week of practice, Altima had close the gap between his 3rd Door and 4th Door, while his cultivation of 2nd stage of Warrior Practitioner is closing towards the 3rd Stage.
Meanwhile, on the Lizards, Altima finally finish researching his hypothesis, where if the Lizards which is based on Yin essence Energy is suddenly fed with materials or ingredients with strong Yang Essence Energy, will thoroughly generate their overall body features, strength and muscle developments. Bigger changes will also include how their bloodline will change, where resulting in a different type of mutation or offspring will be born. Only one unfortunate issue is applied on the Lizards which is with their egg laid after this changes, will remain infertile and couldn't be hatched, due to the reptile based Beast required a strong Yin Energy to fertilize their eggs before hatched.
With all these results came out after the 8th day, Altima finally decided to cleanly dispose all of the Lizards and Blood Suckling around the area, before he ventures into the Marsh of Blood Suckling and travels directly towards the Forest of Howling once again. In total of all this 6 additional days, after deducting the first 2 days within the deeper area inside the Valley, Altima had thoroughly hunted a total of 15,000 Yin Poison Fanged Lizard, as well as a total of 7,000 Blood Suckling, where resulting him with a total of 1,200 Scarlet Red Pearl as well as 2,100 Blood Suckling's Meat remaining. Other than that, Altima manages to grab an additional 5 Lizard's Egg, as well as a total of 8 Lizard's Core before all this is cleared.
In the same time, Altima's Plantation Spatial Realm finally increase its Level, after a thoroughly 8 days of nonstop planting and harvesting on the Stem of Powder Flower. With a total harvest of 2,160 Units in the 8 day total, Altima finally manages to increase its level into Level 1, thus receiving a total of 200 Plot Square of Land, which required a 200,000 Harvest to reach its next level.
First Spatial Realm - Realm of Plantation Level 1 (received during Mobi Level 2)
Capacity : 200 Plot Square of Land: 1,110/200,000 Harvest Needed to Level Up
On the Essence Resources Spatial Realm, Altima receives a total of 2,000 Activities Point throughout this 8 days, and unexpected from Gunther's Skill, he actually manages to refine a special material using the Ingredient available from the Material Chest, which could be used to produce any relevant materials or Medicine if required. Without loitering around this area anymore, Altima quickly proceeds to pass the Marsh of Blood Suckling, before entering the Region of Forest of Howling. Within, the remains of dead bodies of the practitioner, bearing some tags and other carcasses is seen, which means a strong competition recently happens around this area.
Taking precaution, Altima proceeds along his way carefully and spotted another 3 different Hidden Traps along his path, where he quickly disarm it and check on the workmanship. Although the quality is not as highly fine as Gunther, these traps are still usable to catch regular beast such as the Spike Back Wolf, or perhaps some other beast around the forest. Thinking about the Spike Back Wolf, Altima suddenly remembered about the two Wolf Cub, which on their adventure to grow during the time Altima visits his parents home.
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
Quick enough, Altima finally saw a body lying by the side of a huge tree which required at least 5 people to fully hug it, dead and apparently Mauled by some beast before left aside here rotten. Based on a number of maggots crawling within, Altima expects this corpse is dead for at least 4 days. The killer is most probably a beast, due to the spatial ring and other precious items such as medicinal pills, and ointments are all still within the clothes after the corpse being abandoned for so long.
Salvaging the corpse and grabbing his tags, Altima quickly proceeds carefully into the direction where the Graveyard of the Bones is located. Quickly pass through the forest and entered the Graveyard area, Altima conduct a simple scan, and explore around while looking for previously missing Tomb of King Baran. With the scanning is completed, Altima notice a few slight changes is on the Location itself.

With the report received by Altima, within the next step, a bunch of Skeletal Armoured Soldier quickly rise from the ground, where each of the soldiers has a weird looking parasitic bug crawling and screeching within its ribcage, where an orb of Black Coloured Yin Essence is deeply concentrated. Upon further target inspection, the results from the Scanner shock Altima totally.
Skeletal Armoured Soldier infested with Parasitic Yin Jade Centipede.- Parasite Infested Death Energy Demonic Skeleton
Traits: Immune to all Physical and Internal Martial Arts. Only Yang Essence Energy Attack is effective against this Soldier.
Threat Level: Stage 3 Warrior Practitioner of Zen Tier
With his feeling like striking a gold tree, Altima stops controlling himself, and directly charge towards the group of 20 Skeletal Armoured Soldier, and quickly focus on his (Little Sun of Yang Essence Technique). Thoroughly burn and destroy its counterpart, Altima reduces the whole group within a 10 Minutes of Fighting. Feeling that he strikes a gold mine, Altima quickly proceeds into the deeper part, looking for the remaining balance of the Skeleton to hunt. But before that, Altima had the Dead remains harvested. 20 Units of the Bone of Dead Energy Essence, 20 Yin Jade Centipede, 20 Exhausted Yin Orb, and lastly, 20 stacks of Rusted Skeleton Armour.
Proceeding deeper into the Graveyard, Altima kills the Skeletal Armoured Soldier without any remorse. Without noticing the changes, Altima had already spent about 12 hours clearing the crowd of Skeletal Armoured Soldier without stopping, while the numbers are still steadily growing. The later the night is passing, the more and more Skeletal Armoured Soldier started to appear from the ground, quickly infested the whole graveyard area into an Undead Zone where skeleton roams around without a single walking space could be found.
Getting more and more pressured, Altima quickly creates an opening along the way, trying to get a path to direct himself towards the forest of Howling before he gets a rest. With the hour getting even late and later, Altima started to felt some exhaustion stressed onto his body, where his balanced of Yang Essence started to get Weaker than normal now. Even with a usual (Little Sun of Yang Technique), Altima Essence power is practically 30% weaker than normal. Struggling harder and harder, Altima finally successfully break through the Enclosure created by the Skeletal Armoured Soldier and quickly escaped from its sight.
Almost like an escapee running without stop, Altima finally falls down on the Marsh of Blood Suckling, taking a rest while keeping his Yang Essence Absorption priority. To his surprise, Altima actually failed to replenish all his Yang Essence Energy although all the remaining Yang Essence Energy around him had practically sucked Dry.
"Now I guess I know why the 18 Essence Absorption Door is important for a Warrior Practitioner and needed to be opened each time a cultivator break through. Without sufficient Yin and Yang Essence Energy within one body, they will be restricted and most of the Martial Art which based on mainly Liang Yi(Manifested Opposing Forces). With oneself having none of the Essence Energy left within their storage, they will literally become a sitting duck, which waiting for people to come and kill them almost effortlessly.
With the Yang Essence Energy is totally cleaned by Altima's Absorption, he has no choice but to explore into another section, to continue his essence absorption. After moving from one spot to another almost for 5 times, disturbed by a plenty of Blood Suckling, Altima Finally refilled all his Yang Essence Energy, and ready to take his 9th-day rest. With the Moon and Sun exchanging its places, morning finally comes again, indicating the 10th day had arrived.
Instead of being awake by the Beast or Blood Suckling which swims around looking for a prey, Altima, who protected by the Magical Tent Array he spread below the Ground below he sleeps, wake up and take a quick look at him and notice the Interface is blinking. Opening the Interface, Altima quickly enters the Blinking Essence Resources Realm.
