Chapter 19: Descending To The Lower Realm.
Time flowed like a river, and in the blink of an eye, ten days had passed. At this point, Kranos had reached the eleventh stage of the Qi Condensation Realm and the fifth stage of the Time Condensation Realm. Finally, after ten days of intense cultivation, he stepped out of his room.
Knowing that their son was completely absorbed in cultivation and wouldn't require food, Anna and Raphael hadn't disturbed him. Instead they were filled with anticipation and anxiousness, they hoped their son could cultivate the elemental techniques after all they had experienced the difficulties.
Thanks to their extensive knowledge, they were aware of rare cases—individuals who not only awakened an elemental affinity but also possessed a root bone. There were even instances where an ordinary awakening stone failed to identify someone's true talent, requiring a unique awakening stone to unveil the person's elemental details.
Kranos immediately walked out of his room, this was his first time secluding himself. So this is what seclusion feels like... he thought. The loneliness had refined his mental state to some degree. He no longer felt the same rush to achieve things hastily. He had also suppressed his cultivation slightly to leave some trump cards for himself.
Taking his first step outside, he immediately saw his parents waiting for him, eyes filled with expectation. Raphael's eyes widened in shock.
"Se... seve... Seventh stage?! Qi Condensation, seventh stage?!"
Hearing her husband's voice, Anna was stunned as well. "Honey, is he really at the seventh stage?" she asked, her voice trembling with excitement.
Kranos smiled. He didn't think much of the fact that his father could sense his realm—he had intentionally released just enough of his aura to let them detect it. He wasn't sure how the aura of the eleventh stage might feel to them, but he figured it would be too extraordinary.
"Yes, Mother," Kranos said with a nod, confirming their suspicions. "I've finally become a cultivator—at the seventh stage of Qi Condensation."
