Absolute In/Existence

A/N: So far the man side is winning.

Turning Heaven into a woman, or a futa, is more to make the lemon scenes spicy and to add some Yuri without making the yuri be more of a NTR thing. However, I suppose it is all fine, I will try to make future lemon scenes as exciting as i can.

A single day after the disappearance of Qi in the sect, Heaven was fishing once more late at night.

The tiger cub Zhu fell asleep in his laps and Cai Ling went to sleep. She usually didn't need to sleep, but her body still lacked the adequate amount of Qi to keep itself up.

She was still in the process of recuperating, even after many weeks.

With his hands firmly gripping the fishing rod, Heaven had his eyes closed, splitting his mind into to. One paid attention to his body and the fishing rod in his hands, whilst the other continued to train with the Outer Body Training Method.

He suffered defeat after defeat, but he didn't stop. His movements became sharper and more precise, and he was grasping the ability to use his strength and speed efficiently.

…

Plop!

A silver hook appeared in the sky through a ripple, falling down far to the ground.

Down at the ground, a large snake was slithering around. Every movement was filled with great might. It's long body was surrounded a small black fruit.

It was protecting the fruit, a special fruit that can turn the consumer's body poisonous. For this snake, this was the best spiritual plant that can aid it in its growth. Boosting not just the strength of its poison, but also its bodily strength due to its poisonous affinity.

Squeak!

A small purple rat appeared, cautiously running from bush to bush, hidden from view. Is what it thought, until it was eaten in one bite.

Hiss!

The snake licked its lips, turning its body and resuming to guard its precious fruit.

This was what it did every day, guarding and eating every beast that came to steal its fruit. It lived contentedly, waiting for the day that the black fruit finally ripens.

Sss!

The snake snapped its attention to the side, instantly noticing a small silver hook falling through the air. It's target was the black fruit, and the snake shot at the silver hook.

It planned to defend the spiritual fruit.

It didn't know what the silver hook was, but it knew it wasn't anything good if it was targeting its fruit.

It hissed and flew through the air after launching its head at the hook. Snapping its mouth closed as soon as it sent the hook into its mouth. Easily defeating its tiny foe and successfully defending its fruit.

It smiled(?) triumphantly, waiting to fall back down to the floor.

??

It's eyes snapped left and right, fear gripping it as it realized that it was still head up. The little foe wasn't dead at all and it was dragging it up into the air!

Even worse, the snake had lost all control over its body. It limped in the air, gloriously rising through the air before disappearing through a small ripple in the sky.

…

On the other side, Heaven was reeling up whatever he had caught.

A smile was on his face as he rapidly moved his hand. Finally, he saw it! A small snake was caught by his silver hook!

Wait…

Heaven smiled as the snake grew in size after it was pulled out of the well, a function he added to the well and his fishing rod.

To reduce the size of everything he catches in order for his catches to come through the well without destroying it.

Another inscription he had added was weight reduction, reducing the weight of whatever was caught down to 1/100th.

It didn't sound too significant, but when it was coupled with his strength, he could grab anything as long as it was within his means. At his level, there isn't too much stuff that he can't carry, unless they were special spiritual items or other strong beings.

…

Bang!

The large snake fell to the ground heavy and Heaven smiled.

Countless cuisines flowed through his mind!

It had been so long since he had last eaten any actual food. All he had been able to eat recently was just fasting pills. Although they were filling and granted him the perfect amount of nutrients, even for his strengthening body, they didn't provide any actual satisfaction.

Sensing the snake with his inner force, Heaven could feel a powerful energy and vitality within the snake.

"This is perfect for me…" muttered Heaven.

Heaven had finally stepped into the level of his cultivation where his blood and vitality was transforming.

According to Jae-Hwa's cultivation research book, there were various types of paths one can use to grow strong and go through their paths of cultivation.

In this case, Heaven had stepped into the Martial Path. Where one's cultivation increases through the growth of their martial skills and their Qi and Blood.

Which meant, Heaven's vitality and blood had coalesced together and formed a unique energy known as Qi and Blood. The Qi and Blood within his body was a simple wisp of energy, a singular unit. It's strength wasn't too high as it was just formed, but it's quality was unprecedentedly high.

It flowed within his body, nourishing his flesh, organs, and bones.

It's what Qi and Blood does.

The stronger the Qi and Blood is, the stronger the human body will be. This is the cultivation of the Martial Path, which is not to be confused to the Body Path of cultivation which directly strengthens the body and both the blood and vitality.

According the cultivation research book, not many cultivators cultivate to this point. Simply strengthening their body before proceeding to the next step. Especially since the Martial Path requires a large amount of nutritional resources for the nourishment and strengthening of Qi and Blood.

In the Qi deficient world of Paradise, such treasures and beasts were few.

Now with the large and powerful snake before him, Heaven could continue to nourish his body and transform it through his Qi and Blood.

Despite stepping into the Martial Path, Heaven wasn't going to stop there. There are many benefits from the other paths as well, something he will take advantage of. But he needs to do something about their balance and harmony, keeping them from destroying him and his body.

Noticing the glare in the eyes of the snake, Heaven smiled as he placed his hand on the snake's body and sending his inner force in it. Sending it straight into its heart and bursting it.

The snake's eyes began to lose their luster and turned dull after a couple of second, demonstrating its strong will.

Nodding his head, Heaven removed the silver hook from the snake's mouth.

Aside from the weight reduction and size reducing, there was also the incapacitating inscription. It was a weakening effect that makes the target weak and unable to move. Depending on the target's strength, they can defend against this incription's effect.

With it now dead, Heaven brought out a knife, cutting into the tough skin. Skinning it before cutting every piece of meat from the bones.

He saved the organs, blood, and bones.

Each for their own purpose.

Meat for eating, blood for medicine, bones for fertilizing, the organs for various other uses.

…

The next couple of days, aside from eating, Heaven spent time training during his meditation, his usual practice, and using his daily chance of fishing.

He caught small herbs and fruits, simple items.

On the sixth day, Heaven fished like usual, while another area was full of commotion.

…

"Congratulations Sect Master! You've reached the peak of the Sea Realm!"

Like mentioned before, with the lack of Qi in the air, new generation of cultivators had redeveloped the cultivation system. Making it more thorough and detailed.

The mortal realms, made up of five distinct realms that are considered within the realm of mortality. At these realms, the cultivators aren't considered actual cultivators. They're more of preparation levels before entering the the first steps of immortality.

After the Revirth Realm, one crosses the Xiantian Gate and into the Foundation Establishment Realm. Where the cultivator coalesces everything they have as their foundation. It grants them a powerful strength and a more solid foundation, however, if one breaks their foundation, they will be dead.

They pour their life, soul, and very essence into their foundation, losing that foundation is losing one's life.

The Xiantian Realms are-

Foundation Establishment

Cloud

Sea

Earth

Heaven

And this was all before the Golden Core Realm, meaning that the researchers of Paradise had gone all out. The strength a cultivator possesses at the Heaven Realm was far above that of an actual Golden Core Realm cultivator.

Even more so of a Soul Formation cultivator, but it all comes with a cost. With the increase of intensity and condensation of Qi, it becomes tougher on the cultivator's body to release that energy.

The difficulty of using Qi increases and even simply sending it out of the body is incredibly difficult.

The Cloud Realm is where cultivators are finally able to release their Qi out of their body. In this realm, the Qi is released in a gaseous form, but that was already enough to showcase many strong immortal techniques.

In the Sea Realm, much like the name, the released Qi is even more condensed, in the form of a liquid. Finally, the Earth Realm, where the Qi is as condensed as a solid object.

In all these realms, the cultivators stimulate their bodies, opening their pours and widening their spiritual channels, allowing their viscous Qi to move.

Jae-Hwa smiled as she stepped out of her abode with her black robe on. She looked at Elder Wu and beckoned her over.

"Call over the other elders," she muttered with a dark smile on her face.

"Yes!"

Moments later, all the elders of Yin Desires had arrived. They curiously stood before Jae-Hwa, looking at her with respect and awe.

They could feel the intensity of her Qi and the pressure that was being released by her immortal foundation. They all realized at that moment that Jae-Hwa had become even more powerful than before!

In the end, they also realized that their Sect Master Jae-Hwa was the reason for the Qi being gone in the sect. All they had known before, was that Elder Wu had told them.

"Sect Master is preparing something, do not mind the disappearance of the Qi. Quiet down the disciples, don't let them disturb the Sect Master."

After quietening down their disciples, they hadn't received any news at all. Even after waiting for a couple of hours. Finally, after many days, the Qi began to return and the Sect Master finally called for them.

They stood before Jae-Hwa patiently, wondering what she wanted to say.

"Get behind me," Jae-Hwa said, her whisper-like voice entering the ears of every elder.

Without questioning Jae-Hwa's intentions, they moved behind her. As soon as all of them stood behind Jae-Hwa, they saw a bloody fog begin to appear before them.

"The Crimson Blood Sect!"

One of the elders exclaimed when they noticed the red fog. It had a bloody look and smell to it, making them nervous.

Jae-Hwa maintained her smile, a little amused.

Deep in her heart, she felt fortunate!

'Those insight fruits have helped me increase my cultivation and improve my skills. Thanks to that, I was able to sense these parasites…' Jae-Hwa thought as she looked at the old man and the six people around him.

Both sides looked at each other. The old man looked at Jae-Hwa with greed, his hands itching, and Jae-Hwa smiled calmly.

After her recent enlightenment, she had grown even stronger than before. Able to discover beforehand the arrival of the Crimson Blood Sect and able to call in the elders of her sect.

"It's been a while, Jang," the old man said. "Still as enchanting as ever."

Jae-Hwa cringed at the old man's words and simply spat back.

"You disgusting dog," muttered Jae-Hwa.
