Xia Bingyue puffed her cheeks and stared at Jiang Tian in indignance, 'What the hell? I rushed here as fast as I can thinking of his well-being but this is how he's gonna do me?' She thought before staring at him with complicated emotions.

"Hmmph! I'm sorry about that, since I already broke your door, let me break that table too!" She kicked Jiang Tian's one and only table into smitheerens as Jiang Tian stared at her with a frown on his face.

"Miss Bingyue, if you came here to ask about my well-being, I don't think that you should break some of my furnitures..." Jiang Tian said in a composed voice and Xia Bingyue crossed her arms.

"Seeing that you're in the mood for jokes and teasing, Elder Hanyi shouldn't have done anything to you..." She flicked her wrist, sending a brand new jade table at Jiang Tian's living room along with a brand-new door that she immediately attached on Jiang Tian's entrance.

Jiang Tian stared at her with weird eyes, "What the hell? Who normally carries an extra table and door inside their Spatial Ring?!" He didn't dare to voice out his thoughts as he just stood there, staring at Xia Bingyue with a strange expression on his face.

"What are you looking at me like that for?" Xia Bingyue frowned in displeasure before saying, "Since you're fine and well and it looks like you're in the right state of mind, I'll give you these cultivation manuals that Father ordered me to give to you...Study them well so you can at least become a qualified cannon fodder."

All the books that she brought shone in faint hazy lights and judging from the fluctuations that the books emanated, they were powerful cultivation manuals that only Core Disciples could possibly acquire.

"It's unthinkable that Senior would willingly let me borrow these cultivation manuals, could it be that..." Jiang Tian glanced at Xia Bingyue and said, "Are you sure that they came from your father? I don't think that Senior would willingly let an alien like me borrow some of their precious cultivation manuals..."

Xia Bingyue's frown deepened upon hearing his words: "What do you mean? Are you saying that I stole them from the Library and handed them over to you to study? Why would I do something as illogical as that? In the first place, I don't remember owing you anything so why would I risk troubles for myself?" She coldly snorted and turned around to leave.

Just as her figure disappeared from Jiang Tian's sight, she almost stumbled on the ground when she heard his words.

"That chicken congee was quite delicious, thank you for that!"

She took deep breaths and suppressed her furiously beating heart before flying towards the distance.

Inside the residence, Jiang Tian swept his gaze over the manuals and flipped them open. It took him several hours to sort the information within these manuals and another hour before he could decide the most appropriate manual that he could use to establish his path on Essence Cultivation.

Jiang Tian chose the manual called, The Frozen Sovereign Manual. Since he's a clan disciple of the Xia Clan, it would only be appropriate if he used their cultivation method. Flipping open the Frozen Sovereign Manual, Jiang Tian's mind fell deep into contemplation as vast amount of information entered his mind.

The Frozen Sovereign Manual transformed ones Essence Energy into Frozen Essence Energy. The Ice Laws stagnates, freezes and overwhelms the enemy by extreme force. Unfortunately, since Jiang Tian was a male, possessing a body affliated with Yang. His cultivation would far more gruesome than the females.

Of course, such small hardships wouldn't disturb Jiang Tian's Heart of the Martial Arts.

Following the unique circulation method of the Frozen Sovereign Manual. Frost appeared in the air and surrounded Jiang Tian's body. His figure seemed to look like a frozen statue, even his eyelids were frozen and if one stared at him from afar, they would think that he's a mummified person.

His Body Cultivation Method, the Ghost Emperor Scripture and his Essence Cultivation Method, the Frozen Sovereign Manual both aligned with Yin and didn't conflict with each other. An Infant Jiang Tian born from the concentration of Ice Laws stood together with the infant born from the Ghost Emperor Scripture.

Forming a mudra with his hands, Jiang Tian sealed the gathered Essence Energy inside his dantian as a fierce shockwave of ice burst forth from his body, turning everything around him into an ice cavern.

Soon, the temperature receded and everything went to normal. But as soon as Jiang Tian opened his eyes, his left eye flashed with a dreamy, hazy light while his right eye gleamed with the cold and ominous light of darkness.

"So this is what Essence Cultivation feels like? Honestly, it doesn't feel that different from body cultivation. Though I could definitely feel the difference between the two." Jiang Tian slightly smiled and pushed his palms outward.

"Ice Beam." A mumble escaped from his mouth as the Essence Energy from his dantian poured into his palms, creating a vortex which eventually transformed into a beam of ice that struck the wall, freezing it from the ground up to the ceiling.

"It has strong burst potential but it's casting time is so long..." Jiang Tian thought in his mind, it was one of the issues while the Xia Clan had a hard time defeating the disciples from the Silent Monastery, it was because of the fact that their mystical techniques took too long to channel that before they could finish, the bald monks from the SIlent Monastery would've already beaten them up.

"Not only that, when one is channeling, most of the Essence Energy in the body goes into the channeling location, leaving the body vulnerable to attacks...So Essence Cultivators are basically just like mages?" Jiang Tian concluded, taking a deep breath, he calmed his mind and mumbled.

"Now that the issue of my cultivation is finally solved, I think it's time for me to closely inspect the Enhancement System," Jiang Tian returned to his room and opened the System Menu.

My Account

Inventory

User Interface

Enhancement

Creation

Five blue icons materialized in the air and Jiang Tian tapped on the one that caught most of his curiosity, the User Interface.

[Activating User Interface...]

[First Time Activation Detected, scanning host's body...Evaluating Stats and attributes....]

[Completed!]

A detached female voice announced the completion of his User Interface as numerous icons filled Jiang Tian's vision. At the upper left corner of his line of sight were two bar graphs that indicated his health and Essence Energy reserves.

At the right side were numerous icons that looked like a sword, bag, a silhouette of a human, and a huge exclamation mark. Jiang Tian tapped on the silhouette and a panel appeared in his eyes.

[Jiang Tian - Essence Scavenger(Early Stage)]

[Str - 10]

[Dex - 10]

[Int - 10]

[Sta - 10]

[Charisma - 70]

[Willpower - 70]

[Other stats cannot be seen yet for the host still hasn't acquired the necessary qualifications for its activation.]

[Equipment]

[Intermediate Artificer Robes(One-piece, Uncommon Tier)- Increased Resistance to Dull and Sharp Damage, Increased Resistance to Heat and Sweat]

[Intermediate Artificer Wrist Cuffs(Uncommon Tier)- Can Resist lethal strikes, once activated, the enhanced items will disappear.]

[Rattan Straw Flipfliops(Uncommon Tier)- Increased movement speed and dexterity.]

[All item effects can be activated by will.]

"My basic attributes are at ten while my willpower is actually seventy? What does these numbers mean?" Jiang Tian thought in his mind and the system replied.

[The host's attributes is at the lowest for cultivators, every ten attributes after the first ten means that the host has achieved attributes comparable to the next realm.]

"Wait what? So an increase of ten in any attiributes means an increase of a whole realm in the real world?" Jiang Tian asked in confirmation and the System replied with the same mechanical voice.

[Indeed, that's the case.]

"Then, why does it say that I have seventy willpower and seventy charisma? Why are those two stats so overpowered?" Jiang Tian asked with knitted eyebrows.

[The System has determined that the host's previous life experiences tempered his mind and willpower, along with huge willpower is an allure that no one could possibly resist. The System has concluded that the host has enough leadership capabilities so the System has maxed out the host's Charisma stat.]

"Wait a minute, what do you mean about maxed out? Are you saying that seventy is the attribute limits?" Jiang Tian interjected and the System replied.

[That's indeed the case for this world. Once the host has acquired the limit of these attributes, the host needs to attain divinity and break through the shackles of this realm...]

"Attain divinity? Break through the shackles of this realm?" Such words astonished Jiang Tian. Back in his previous life, he heard of something along those lines but everyone only thought of it as a myth, for there was no one that managed to break through the limits and ascend to Godhood.

Divinity and Godhood was an unproven theory in his previous world. Encountering it today made him incomparably excited about the prospects of achieving Immortality and soaring through the cosmos.

Suppressing his emotions, Jiang Tian temporarily closed the System Menu and walked towards the kitchen and satiate his hunger from cultivation. But just as he arrived at the kitchen, the faint silhouette of Xia Guanyu appeared in his face along with her daughter that suffused a sulken expression.

"S-s-Senior?!" Jiang Tian staggered in shock, not even his Intruder Detection Systems detected Xia Guanyu's arrival.

"Jiang Tian, so you're finally out of your secluded meditation? How about you explain to me about how you managed to seduce my daughter into giving you one of the Xia Clan's core cultivation methods?" Xia Guanyu's cold voice sent shivers down Jiang Tian's spine as he glanced at Xia Bingyue in shock and astonishment,
