Also this chapter is confusing so just stick with it.. As it will make sense the more you read.

Adel and Vermin didn't wait for long before they proceeded to enter the clan head's mansion .
They were then greeted by two middle-aged men , who introduced themselves as Ardnt and Astor.
The middle-aged men were quite respectful to Adel , which he suspected was due to his talents that they couldn't determine its grade.
He then shook his head as even if he thought about it , he wouldn't know much.
"Follow me" Said Ardnt as he started walking near Adel towards the mountain peak , while the other one (Astor ) was by Vermin's side.
Adel followed Ardnt until they arrived before the outer parameter of the mountain peak - which he was already fully aware of all of its spots , and then they continued moving until they entered the core region of the mountain peak.
They then arrived at a massive , blue palace that had golden runes in the top of it. along with some ores that were made it look even more enchanting.
He then proceeded to walk into the castle as they walked up multiple stairs, which the more one climbs , the thicker the 4 energies ( Ki , Nao , Mana , Qi ) were in the air..
Ardnt and Astor then stopped as they pointed towards a majestic door that was at the end of the hallway. " Go inside " They then said in a respectful tone.
Adel could already guess who was behind that door , but the same couldn't be said for Vermin as she stood there nervously , while thinking that Adel's reaction was a bit too calm..
Adel then sighed as he used a bit of mind manipulation to get her think that he always was calm in all situations - which was one of the traits that were special of Adel.
Adel then didn't hesitate anymore as he walked to the door , but it didn't open " Put some of the Ki that you've sensed. " And it was Adel's turn to be inwardly surprised , as he didn't think that they knew he was in the Ki sensing realm ,but he didn't think too much as with his talents it could only be said normal for him..
After which Adel proceeded to put one of his weaker Ki that he'd previously sensed.
VROOM!
The door then shook and opened by itself , albeit loudly it didn't make any of them change their expression as it was only normal for such door to open with such peculiarity.
If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
Adel then looked at Vermin , and then nodded his head , motioning for her to follow him from behind , thus leading the door to close behind the too immediately..
The ancestors ( Ardnt and Astor ) let out a breath of relief , as the door only opened for this that had enough talent to reach Qi sensing realm , which meant that he did indeed have it , though what made him special , unknown to them was the fact that after he entered the 4 energies surged violently in the inside which lead to the quality of the outside 4 energies increasing even more , albeit at a lower rate..
After they entered , they were greeted by a hall that was behind the door that had many decorations in form if the four mythical beast that adorned the room while the 4 energies were getting thicker the more they walked inside....
While Adel was indeed in the blood refining realm , but as he refined 56/64 of his blood fully from the potent Ki that was in the jar , he required thicker Ki in order to process - which was the effect of the potence of the Ki that was grasped upon on the Ki sensing realm , since the more potent the Ki is , the thicker one requires as an advance in the future cultivation realms in the body refining realm.

' So finally, the first meeting is happening huh , well I won't show myself as the strength in this shard of mine is insufficient to show in the current circumstances..' Sighed the figure regretfully as it started thinking
-
The room consisted of various altars as it has each energy named on the middle of it , along with the specific mythical beast on top of it - which was as follows :
Ki : Black tortoise , which probably indicated the hardness of one's body.
Nao : Vermilion bird , as it signified its speciality in souls .
Mana: White Tiger , as it signified its speciality in handing Mana .
And finally Qi: Azure Dragon , which meant that the dragons were the ones specialized in cultivation.
Adel suddenly felt a sharp pain on his head as he got clutched his teeth ..
While a powerful unnoticable spiritual sense swept through the entire plane , and then focused on the clan , until it stopped on the hall - as it saw both Vermin and Adel , then proceeded to use a spell to manipulate their minds as it made them forget the event of Adel feeling pain , getting a new memory , and then finally letting everything back to what it was.
Adel then started to remember about a memory he'd learnt about when he 'accidentaly' stumped upon an ancient book that further explained him about the origins of the 4 energies.
It said that Nao - Mana - Qi - and Ki were originated from the 4 mythical beasts , that gave it to the lowest plane , in order to start cultivating Chi.
As all above planes started cultivating above mortal realm , since the energy of that world was only composed of Chi - it directly took them to beyond the mortal realm.
Adel then remembered how jealous he was when he read the book , as he had to go through such hardships in his previous body - and his current one while others directly skipped this realm..
He then started to feel shocked as he read more if the book...
The book said that the later realms after the mortal realms all trained Nao , Ki , Qi , Mana albeit using Chi energy instead of the 4 , it instead had an entire great realm that specifically trained the said part if the 4 energies..
He then got to know that those who successfully cultivate in the mortal realm - along with the extreme refining realm in each of it's smaller realm , and then successfully cultivated beyond that realm, had an extreme foundation granted to them by the 4 energies that although were mixed to Chi , it successful nourishes the specific part once one reaches that realm.
As an example , once one reached a greater realm beyond that of the mortal realm , that specialized in cultivating the soul , they would have a massive advantage along with an extreme foundation that cultivated their souls to the limits - along with a desired law , but said law was only possible if one cultivated the mortal realm , and as such resulting in their soul fusing with their desired law in the greater realm that specialized on the souls.
The same could be said for the Mana core, Dao Core and Body Shell - as it made it easier for them to cultivate such realms along with the desired law in them.
As for the number that successfully cultivated beyond the mortal realm , it could be said from the book that only 4 ever succeeded by using the 4 mythical beasts' energy in the mortal realm.
And there came the world's limits in place - While cultivators with enough strength could bend over it a bit , they couldn't move their children to the lowest plane nor reincarnate into it by using slells that out their souls in slumber.
There existed only two ways in order to be in the lowest plane - being naturally born on it or being pulled to it by the Earth's dimension , though not many know it about its existence..
The sole reason that his family was able to send him to the plane though , was the fact that his body's soul has been in hibernation, and only woke up when the original soul that was sent from his family to Earth's dimension , in order to have him successfully start his cultivation journey from the lowest plane...
The man who helped him earlier knew about this, as the talent of Adel was something that even he couldn't see , which meant that his family had reached at least one of the peak emperor realms... Thus he proceeded to cautiously handle Adel , although Adel was oblivious to such stuff, as he continued to read through his journey to know more information...
After he finished reminiscing about his memory, he shook his head as he glanced at Vermin, who glanced at him back and nodded , as they continued forward...

After this chapter I'm gonna start making the proper cultivation realms , though I'll only show the greater realm after the mortal realm and I'm gonna make them into an info dump chapter which is probably next one .
