On the rooftop, both Wang Wei and Li Jun were lying down, gazing at the stars who shone eternally in the sky. The moon was extremely brilliant today, lighting up the entire world.

Meanwhile, somewhere out there, the moonlight--with its mysterious power--converted countless ordinary animals into demonic beasts, allowing them to break free from the restraints of their bloodline.

​​

Wang Wei took out a gourd from his space ring, then removed the lid. A sweet scent of fruit and wine spread out to the entire mountain, making countless drunkards secretly salivate.

After taking a sip, Wang Wei tossed it to Li Jun, who refreshingly started drinking without hesitation. In that way, they kept passing the gourd while drinking.

"Big brother... Big brother...Big brother Wang Wei!"

"Huh, did you say something?"

"What were you thinking about that you did not hear me call you more than three times?"

Wang Wei took a mouthful of wine and said, "I was just thinking, why did our ancestor name the cultivation realm 'Divine Sea' and 'Divine Altar'. I mean, what we cultivate is the origin qi, shouldn't it be called 'Origin Sea' and 'Origin Altar'?"

"..."

"And it's not just this, there is also the 'Divine Body Realm'. Shouldn't it be called 'Origin Body Realm'?. It just does not make any sense to me."

"..."

"Instead of origin qi, it should be called divine qi or divine energy. Even better, divine origin. Yes, that's a perfect name."

Li Jun took the gourd and took a sip. Then, he said, "Maybe our qi used to be called divine energy or whatever, but when the ancestor proved the Dao, he changed the name. After all, he took Qiyuan (Origin) as a name."

"Well, what you say makes sense. Do you think I can change the name back one day when I become Emperor?"

"If you are not afraid of the ancestor coming back from his grave and disciplining a blasphemous and unfilial descendant like you, go ahead big brother."

"It's you who committed blasphemy for insinuating that the ancestor is actually dead."

"hahha, that's true."

The two brothers truly enjoyed the quiet moments like these as they knew a very painful, long and arduous future awaited them. However, as long as they have each other's back, they can deal with any challenge thrown at them.

Both Li Jun and Wang Wei spent more than a month hanging out with each other. However, midway through, Yan Liling came to join them. As such, Wang Wei took the time to get to know her on a personal level.

Inside his cultivation room, Wang Wei sat cross-legged reading the [Origin Path Sutra] in order to prepare for his breakthrough to the Divine Altar Realm. After making sure that everything was ready, he began.

The first step is to actually build an altar with origin qi, making it transform from a liquid state to a solid state. This requires great control of origin qi and the ability to condensed it.

The Altar can look like anything, however, one thing is required: a place that can hold lamps at the very center of the altar.

Wang Wei concentrated on building his altar. He modeled it after the "Temple of Heaven" from his past life. He went to see it once when he came to the capital on a business trip with his boss. It was quite majestic and beautiful, leaving a lasting impact in his memory.

The altar had a square base with 3 stacked layers of round walls. This represents the fact that the earth is square, but the Heaven is round. However, Wang Wei made some personal little modifications to the very top.

At the top of the altar, a lamp holding place was created to replace the pointy end. Wang Wei then carved his image on the lamp holding stands, symbolizing that the "self" is and will forever be above both Heaven and Earth.

The modeling process of the Altar took Wang We more than 3 years. This speed was considered quite average for the Heaven Chosen of this generation. However, the reason for this was the fact Wang Wei's origin qi was too strong and pure to further condense.

Luckily for him, he had plenty of time practicing while fighting the Battle Maniac Emperor's clone in the Battle Tower.

After finishing building the altar, Wang Wei proceeded to the second step: constructing Divine Veins in the altar.

The purpose of the Divine Veins is to allow cultivators to sense, see, and control spiritual qi in the environment. These veins allowed cultivators of the origin path system to have greater affinity for spiritual qi.

Then through the Divine Veins, they can absorb spiritual qi in Heaven and Earth and transform it into origin qi, providing cultivators in that realm with almost unlimited energy.

Wang Wei took a whole year to carve the first divine vein on his altar. The process was like engraving a very small and complex geometric shape on a small object like a ring. Every tiny detail must be perfect, otherwise the process would fail.

Wang Wei took a moment to check his divine vein and nodded in satisfaction. It was perfect, at least to his knowledge. After which, he proceeded to the final and most important step:

Entering the Heaven and Earth Realm.

One of the reasons that the Divine Altar Realm is difficult to enter is due to the fact that cultivators stopped focusing on the body, and focused more on cultivating the mind and spirit.

The Heaven and Earth realm is simply cultivators entering a deep state of meditation, then blend their mind or spirit into Heaven and Earth. By doing this, the Divine Vein of the altar will finally activate and function properly.

The process is quite difficult for the average cultivators as they are more comfortable using their body--as blood qi and origin qi are only required to follow a set of movements or routes to cultivate. The process might be slow for some, but at least there is a clear path to follow.

The concept of the spirit is hard for most cultivators to follow or understand, thus the difficulty of breaking through the Divine Altar Realm.

Of course there are many methods to assist cultivators. They can use special incense to help them enter deep meditation or they can use pills to forcibly break through. Another method is to use special formation that makes it easier for the spirit to blend with Heaven and Earth.

Over the years, cultivators have developed countless ways to help their breakthrough.

However, Wang Wei did not need any of these methods. As a person with a powerful soul, his spirit is also very powerful. In just a year, he entered the realm of Heaven and Earth.

Wang Wei found his mind feeling very refreshed and clear, then a state of euphoria enveloped his body and soul. He moaned slightly as this feeling was more pleasurable than any drugs.

Then, he felt safe, secure, protected and attached; just like a fetus depending on his mother to protect it from the world. Only, Heaven and Earth was his mother instead of a woman.

Suddenly, the Divine Vein on his altar lit up, then a vast amount of spiritual qi was gathered into his altar, thus further filtering and purifying his origin qi.

A storm appeared in the cultivation room as the spiritual qi continued to gather around Wang Wei. He started to swallow it like an endless black hole.

In just a few seconds, the storm grew big enough to fill the entire room and seemed to want to spread outward throughout the entire mountain.

Wang Wei opened his eyes and took out a transparent stone: this was an origin source. Origin source is a form of currency in this world, and also a valuable resource as it is an ore containing spiritual qi in it that can be used to cultivate.

Origin source is the highest level of denomination. Below it, there are origin stones which are further classified into four levels: low, medium, high and top.

Ten low origin stones is equivalent to 1 medium stone. One hundred medium stones is worth 1 high origin stone, and 1000 high origin stone is worth 1 top origin stone.

As for origin source? It is worth at least 100,000 top origin stones, and that is the lowest estimate. Most cultivators will not trade origin source for origin stone due to the high concentration and purity of spiritual qi contained in it.

As such, origin source is considered a high and scarce level of resources strictly controlled by powerful factions in order to strengthen themselves.

After taking out the origin source, Wang Wei began to absorb it through his divine vein. As for the spiritual qi storm he previously created, it stopped spreading beyond the cultivation room.

However, the single origin source seemed not enough for Wang Wei as his foundation was too terrible. As such, he took out a few more.

After more than a day, Wang Wei again opened eyes. This time he was full of excitement. He stood up and looked at the ten useless stones in the ground.

Just a breakthrough into the Divine Alta Realm already consumed so much origin source. Most cultivators will be lucky to be able to use medium origin stone. Wang Wei could guess that his future cultivation will require countless resources. Luckily for him, he can be considered a rich second generation in the cultivating world.

Wang Wei checked the divine altar located in his divine sea and was excited. He finally entered the Divine Altar Realm and was no longer considered to be at the bottom of the cultivating pyramid.
