Chapter 158: Cycle

Time passed quickly and Lex closely observed his fox beasts as they hunted.

Each of the fox beasts had a battle style that matched their fox race's characteristic and were strategic as they all helped each other.

Lex and his clones were yet to sense or come across anything that could be a danger to their fox beasts and after a few hours, the entire Earth Mortal Region was wiped out by the fox beasts.

"You may all rest and eat, then sleep. If any of you are breaking through there is no need to worry and you will be protected" projected Lex as his voice resounded throughout the entire region.

The fox beasts all began to huddle around Lex as Lex and his clones withdrew all the beast meat and beast cores that they had within their inventory for the fox beasts to devour.

With the abundance of beast cores and beast meat, the energy in the area was very dense and was a great area to cultivate in.

"All of you cultivate with the dense energy, but still be cautious and if you sense any disturbance or danger be prepared to battle and protect the fox beasts" ordered Lex to his clones.

While the fox beasts wolfed down large amounts of beast cores and beast meat, Lex and his clones began cultivating with the dense energy around them.

Time passed rapidly.

After eating their fills, the fox beasts all fell into a deep slumber while all of their bodies had a faint golden glow.

Energy swarmed into the area with a few hundred fox beasts absorbing energy and digesting the energy within their bodies, along with Lex and his clones cultivating.

The fox beasts that woke up the earliest circled the area and protected the sleeping fox beasts and cultivating masters.

Continuously eating from the abundant amount of beast meat and beast cores, that included the beast meat and beast cores of the Sky Mortal Rank beasts that Lex had ordered his clones to hunt previously, the fox beasts entered a cycle where they would eat beast meat, then sleep to cultivate and digest the energy.

All meanwhile Lex and his clones were immersed in his cultivation that was progressing rapidly with the dense energy around them.

A week passed in the blink of an eye and Lex was only awakened from his ethereal cultivation state when he felt a large disturbance in the energy around him.

Opening his eyes he saw a few more of the fox beasts breaking through into the Sky Mortal Rank while other fox beasts were also cultivating in their sleep.

Breaking through into the Sky Mortal Rank were the fox beasts that had distinguished themselves as the elites of each unit and were above all the other fox beasts other than the Unit Leaders, in terms of power.

Walking over to his clones, Lex reabsorbed them back into his body and gained their improvement in cultivation, knowledge and experiences.

[System show me my current status] ordered Lex, curious about how much his strength had increased in the past week.

{Ding, the host's current status is:

Lex seeing how much he had improved was satisfied and was excited to breakthrough and be the first on the continent he was on to ever surpass the Heaven Mortal Rank.

His Third Eye had broken through to the Sky Mortal Rank without him noticing, as his Third Eye continued to syphon a portion of his energy along with Ashura who Lex had sealed.

After Ashura demonstrated his disloyal nature time and time again, Lex sealed him within his soul until he felt he was strong and knowledgeable enough to have absolute control over his Soul Pet.

While his fox beasts were awakening and testing out their newfound power, Lex had some questions for the system that he didn't know the answer to.

[System what are the gaps between each cultivation rank and the difference in strength] asked Lex.

{Ding, the gaps in strength between each rank are as follows. Every percentage of the Mortal Rank increases the cultivator's strength by around 10%, every percentage of the Earth Mortal Rank increases the cultivator's strength by 20%, every percentage of the Sky Mortal Rank increases the cultivator's strength by 30% and every percentage of the Heaven Mortal Rank increases the cultivator's strength by 40%. While additionally after every breakthrough the cultivator's strength has a small leap that was equivalent to around 10-20% of the previous rank, depending on the state of the cultivator while breaking through} answered the system.

[So what is the next rank after the Heaven Mortal Rank and why haven't any of the royals or anyone else on the continent reached it] enquired Lex.

{Ding, the next rank after the Heaven Mortal Rank is the Golden Mortal Rank which is one of the largest breakthroughs in the Mortal Realm. The breakthrough to the Golden Mortal Rank has one of the largest leaps in strength of around 50%, but it also requires an enormous amount of energy to be able to reach it. The reason why the royals of this continent were incapable of doing so, is because they haven't been able to gather a large enough amount of energy that is digestible and also don't have the knowledge to surpass the Heaven Mortal Rank as that is where their methods are capped at} explained the system.

{Ding, but that is not to say there aren't any Golden Mortals on this continent and the host mustn't forget about the capability of the beasts on the continent as well} added the system, warning Lex.

With the system's answers and warnings, Lex was once again reminded how weak he was and how wide the world really was.

But instead of feeling down or overwhelmed like the past Lex would have, Lex was excited to reach the peak.
