Death... and me



They couldn't convert the Divine Energy already stored in their Dantians and Cores because it couldn't be mixed with the new Divine Origin Energy. Their pool of Energy had to be empty, so they could only throw away all the Divine Energy there. Fortunately, it wasn't anything hard to do. Divine Energy kept pouring out of those four's bodies, and in just a few minutes, all the Divine Energy was swept clean.

Following that, they began to absorb the Divine Energy of the surroundings and send it straight into their Nascent Souls. They had many Rank Four Divine Stones, so they obviously were using them too. The Divine Energy entered the Nascent Souls, and a slow process started.

In normal circumstances, it wouldn't take more than a few hours to completely refill their Dantians and Cores with Divine Energy. However, things were completely different now. After the Nascent Soul finished purifying the Divine Energy, it was then sent into the middle of the Foundation Pillars. Following the cultivation technique methods in the Yin Yang Cultivation Manual, the twins used the Pillars' power to compress that pure Divine Energy, and once again, more Energy was lost.

Think about it like a funnel that had something on its top pressing down. The pressure fused the Divine Energy into a new type of Energy. Obviously, Divine Origin Energy. Only then would the newly acquired Energy be allowed to enter the Dantians' Pool. 

For Kentucky and Celis, the process with their Nascent Souls was similar, but Demon Beasts and Plants had different foundations. They had to rely on their own understanding of it to compress the Divine Energy into Divine Origin Energy. That was something Sister Orb could not help with since she did even know how it worked for them. But then again, Demon Beasts and Plants have never had a need for cultivation manuals, let alone Divine Ones like them. After some time, they finally understood how they should proceed with it.

Once that happened, the four of them began to share the Divine Origin Energy within their Dantians and Cores, just like it was with normal Divine Energy. It went as no surprise that Celis far surpassed Rean, Roan, or Kentucky in cultivation speed, though. He alone could almost make up for those three with his innate ability. 

[As expected of the World Swallowing Cedar, not only can he absorb Divine Energy much faster, but his conversion rate is also far superior. Since he also benefits from the twins' System Upgrades, that only increases his rate even further.] Sister Orb was genuinely surprised by Celis's display.

Nonetheless, that process continued for twenty-three days in a roll. That's how long it took to fulfill Celis, Kentucky, Rean, and Roan's Energy Pools with Divine Origin Energy. The point was that neither of them was in the Space Bending Realm yet. When you reached the Space Bending Realm's door, which meant the Pinnacle of the Void Tempering Realm Late Stage, you would finally be able to create Divine Origin Energy. But since they weren't really in the next Realm, their efficiency wasn't even a tenth of what they would be able to do if they were there.

That was already considered crazily fast, though. Anyone else would take three times or more to achieve the same result. 

Feeling that all of them filled the necessary amount of Divine Origin Energy, Sister Orb finally gave her orders. [Good! Now start the breakthrough. Celis and Kentucky will do as they see fit. Rean and Roan just follow the cultivation manual.]

[As the Realm's name already says, you will be able to bend space at will once you reach the next level. So it should go as no surprise that to achieve the breakthrough, you all need to bend space. With the help of Divine Origin Energy, you all need to bring the space itself into your Datians and Demon Cores. There, you will form what is called a Space Seed.]

[This space seed will be placed inside your Nascent Souls, though. They will be located where you usually have a dantian or a demon core in your real bodies. In a certain way, you could say that the space seed becomes the Nascent Soul's Dantian or Cores. It's just that it isn't used to store Energy. Instead, it will become the link between you and the space around you.]

As Luan watched the four of them, he couldn't help but ask Sister Orb. "But Sister Orb, Father and Uncle Rean could already bend space before, couldn't they?"

[That's correct. However, would you say they were anywhere near Librao or Abelha's level in this regard?] Sister Orb answered with another question.

"I see..." Naturally, Luan knew better than anyone else the huge difference there.

[It was thanks to their talents that they were able to do that without Divine Origin Energy. But in the end, Divine Evergy will never reach the level of Divine Origin Energy, let alone when they acquire their Space Seeds.]

As Sister Orb and Luan talked, the Space around Rean, Roan, Celis, and Kentucky began to bend inwards. To be more specific, they bent around their Dantians and Cores. The most surprising thing was that even though it was happening, it wasn't affecting their bodies. It was as if their bodies weren't even sharing the same space as the space around them.

Inside their Cores and Dantians, all that bent space fused with the Divine Origin Energy in their Energy Pools. They finally understood why they needed their pools to be full of Divine Origin Energy. Without it, the Seed inside their nascent Soul couldn't take form. They were very happy to see that. Since the Seed was being formed with the help of their Divine Origin Energy, their much higher Energy Pools played a huge role in this process. Not only that, but because they were sharing their Divine origin Energy equally, they achieved an even better result. The Seed quickly took form and was simply enormous! At least four to five times bigger than the size of an average newly formed seed. 

*Boom!*

Suddenly, a burst of Divine Origin Energy and Space Power came out of their bodies. Sure enough, their cultivation began to grow nonstop, reaching the Space Bending Realm in just a few breaths of time. However, that wasn't the end of it.
