To create a treasure land, a wandering cultivator must have a minimum of level 1 grandmaster; however, sects like Blazing inferno and Terranova would not show any interest in them. Except for treasure lands created by the peak grandmaster cultivator or an immortal cultivator, the sects would not show any interest in them.

Even though the treasure lands have treasures inside them, not everyone could enter them and casually pick those treasures.

​​

If it was created by immortal cultivators, it would block off everyone except for those people who could meet the criteria to enter that treasure land.

And as for those treasure lands created by the cultivators below the immortal realm, they would add a self-destructive formation to self destruct the items inside the treasure land if someone forcefully enters it.

"We?"

After hearing the sect leader Gamos' words, both Henrick and Nick were surprised a little; however, they already knew it was the special privilege of being the personal disciples of the sect leader.

"However, I will only allow you to enter the treasure land if you break through to the energy condensation realm within the next seven days,"

While saying that the sect leader Gamos' focus was entirely on Henrick.

Because, during the time, Henrick was busy in the inheritance building, Nick used 70 percent of the cultivation resources from their master and reached stage 3 of the muscle-strengthening realm.

However, Henrick was still in stage 2 and still far away from reaching the peak of the stage. So, the sect leader Gamos gave him an impossible task.

'Make it possible,'

This was the only thought in the sect leader Gamos' mind.

"Sure, master,"

How could Henrick leave such a nice opportunity to go out and experience the world? So, he nodded his head with an excited look on his face.

"Good,"

He nodded his head and said, "Forget about everything and just focus on your cultivation for the next seven days,"

"Also, Henrick, you don't need to worry about weapon refining, I already informed Alaster about it,"

The sect leader Gamos didn't give any more information before silently leaving the cultivation abode.

"I will also go and cultivate, Henrick,"

Soon, Nick also left Henrick's cultivation abode along with his armoured fire crocodile.

'I need to reach the energy condensation realm soon,'

Without wasting any time, he started circulating his Blazing sun sutra along with the cultivation resources given by his master.

...

For the next few days, time passed in a flash.

"Damn it…."

Inside Henrick's cultivation abode, Henrick cursed as he angrily punched his stone bed.

"Why am I unable to break through that last barrier into the energy condensation realm?"

Henrick suppressed his anger as he thought about the reason.

In the last seven days, Henrick was able to strengthen his muscles by over 30 plus rotations and reached the penultimate rotation. As long as he strengthens his muscles one more time, he would enter the energy condensation realm.

However, just as he tried rotating his pure internal fire energy the pain was unbearable even for Henrick who had a lot of endurance.

'I feel like my own pure internal fire energy might engulf me,'

He expressed his feeling of how he felt when he tried to circulate the last rotation.

'Looks like master will not allow me to enter the treasure land,'

This was the last day and if he didn't have a breakthrough into the energy condensation realm, his master said he would not allow Henrick to enter the treasure land.

'Sigh'

Henrick felt a little disappointed when he thought he would be not going to the treasure land.

For the last seven days, he didn't even bother to complete his daily missions and gave his full time for his cultivation. So, of course, he would be disappointed with that thought.

"No"

"No"

"No, I have to give my best,"

All of a sudden, there was a spark in his eyes that made him look like he was very determined to enter the energy condensation realm today no matter what happened.

With that thought in his mind, he closed his eyes and gritted his teeth before he started circulating his pure internal fire energy to strengthen his muscles.

'Aargh'

'Aargh'

The pure internal fire energy in his body slowly moved through his muscles at a slow pace. For every inch the pure internal fire energy moves forward, Henrick would make a painful groan.

Nevertheless, he continued to endure the pain and rotated the internal fire energy.

'Kacha'

When the internal energy completed one complete rotation, there was a breaking sound coming from his body and all of a sudden, all the pain he was experiencing disappeared without a trace.

Moreover, the huge amount of pure internal fire energy rushed into his body from the surroundings and filled his dantian in an instant.

'Ding,

Master's human race skill 'Endurance' upgraded to level 2 for enduring so much pain.

'Ding,

Congratulations to the master for successfully reaching the 'Energy condensation realm'.

While Henrick was enjoying the feeling of breaking into the 'Energy condensation realm', two system notifications appeared in his head; however, he didn't bother them as he continued to enjoy it.

The feeling lasted for exactly 10 minutes and for those 10 minutes, Henrick was lying on his stone bed and enjoyed it.

'No wonder, energy condensation realm is the true beginning of the cultivation,'

After it was over, Henrick opened his eyes and thought in his head as he stood up from his stone bed before stretching his body.

Currently, Henrick's body is full of energy and he felt like he could easily mutated fire ghoul with a single punch.

'Aargh'

While he was stretching his body, Henrick suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head for a second; however, because of his level 2 endurance skill, the pain disappeared soon after.

'What was that pain for?'

'Ding,

A new skill for the human race is awakened by the Master.

'Ding,

A new skill for the fire demon race is awakened by the Master.

Just as he was wondering about the pain, he received two more system notifications that cleared his doubts regarding the pain.

Whenever a skill was awakened, it was from their ancestral memories. So, of course, they would feel pain when a new skill is awakened.

"Thinking about it, where is my human race's skill for the 'Muscle strengthening realm?',"

All of a sudden, Henrick remembered something and thought about it.

Whenever a cultivator progresses in his cultivation realms, he would awaken a skill specific to their race from their ancestral memories.

He awakened two ancient fire demon race's skills 'Ancient fire sure', 'Fire demon stare' for two cultivation realms whereas the human race skill was only 'Endurance'.

As for 'Fire demon claw' and 'Camouflage' skills, he awakened them with the help of a pill. So, they were never counted as the natural awakening.

'Ding,

Master, you don't need to worry about it. Sometimes, it takes time to awaken those skills.

Once the system gave him a clarification, Henrick heaved a sigh of relief as he nodded his head.

'System, it's time to check my new skills,'

Soon, he asked the system to show his new skills.
