"Swoosh!:

A figure was seen running and slashing strange creatures in a grassland. At every slash, blood from these two-headed looking chickens splattered all over the grass, dying it with a new color.

As the sun coated the earth in its sunlight, crimson could be seen reflecting behind the figure as despite killing a few of these chicken monsters, Lester, the figure had more and more coming towards him.

His face was calm and composed, as it looked as if he was completely unbothered by these frenzy attacks.

The colorful two-headed chicken looked clumsy as it ran after Lester with killing intent. Their beak arched downward like an eagle's as not only their numbers but their height could be quite intimidating for a cultivator, as they were the same heights as humans.

"Cah Cah Cah!"

Five chickens began to catch up to Lester who was running forwards looking towards the horizon. There was nothing but grasslands ahead as trees were barely visible around.

While running Lester leaped upward and turned around mid-air facing the five two-headed chickens. His body had made great improvements in the last month and so did his cultivation.

Raising an arm while in the air, ten qi needles appeared and as he began to ascend backward he brought down his arm sending the needles into each of the chickens' heads.

"Plop!"

Each one of them was a perfect hit, sending the bodies of these chickens to the ground lifelessly.

"Cah!"

"Cah!"

"Cah!"

Like they had been respawned, chickens appeared from thin air around Lester and with great speeds caught up to him surrounding him.

"Swoosh!"

With great speeds, these chickens went for the attack and like a nimble snake, Lester dodged each of these piercing strikes, or lightly redirected them with his different body parts.

"Ting!" a Chicken was able to break through his defense but other than pressing him with pressure, like metal on metal the beak of the chicken was pushed back as small light blue particles broke off from the top of Lester's epidermis. His body was untouched, as with a quick swoop the qi sword appeared on his hand allowing him to easily slash the chickens down.

He had not only made progress with the World Qi Needles but also his swordsmanship technique and the World Qi Layers technique which he has been able to create ten layers of world qi protection around his body.

A little over a month has passed since acquiring the Qi Absorption Pills and he wasted no time in using one of them as it was all his body could handle. Even now, he had not fully digested the pill and the effects still lingered. Lester had already filled his core at this moment and was considering his options in stepping into the Rooted Core Realm. The speed at which the pill had supported him was incredible as he did not expect to improve with such a speed. Pills were truly magical items that could give the user effects of various kinds. Pill Masters were as rare as formation masters as it took a specific affinity to become a Pill Master capable of creating magical pills.

Lester was also well aware of the news in regards to the next realm of cultivation released by the Copper Knight a month ago. The world went berserk when hearing the news and it gave cultivators around the world something to strive towards.

This did not change the fact that cultivators were still weak and falling behind the beasts though, as many more cultivators were dying. Even those in the top one hundred cultivators in the cultivation island were coming back crippled.

Lester knew that he had a responsibility as a human being with knowledge of the alien world to do better and do more for the world and for the survival of the human race.

Standing at the grassland Lester shook his head as he exhaled and pulled out the same small bag that he was trying to understand almost a month ago. He opened the bag and pulled out his phone, which he then proceeded to tap on the screen a few times.

The world around Lester began to morph and shatter, as suddenly as if it was all an illusion and he was suddenly back into his apartment in the cultivation Island.

Technology at this age has improved tremendously, and there were many advances that made life much more convenient despite the beast's terror.

Lester understood that he had reached a bottleneck and he needed to venture out of this safe haven that the Cultivation Island was and experience true battles.

He was ready to leave, however, he needed to sort some things out first.

At the moment he had filled his core, and if he was to rank himself up with the other cultivators from Earth he would be at a very high place.

A few other cultivators had reached the Rooted Core Realm last month as the Copper Knight held a few webinars and talks in regards to breaking through. But cultivators we're still falling like flies as the two extremes of cultivation levels were too far apart. There were too many low-level cultivators stuck with limited knowledge in regards to cultivation, but they were by no means cowards as they risked their lives everyday, despite their strength.

"Even the Copper Knight is doing his part with the extra knowledge he had…" Lester walked around his apartment murmuring a few things. The past few days he had written down a few cultivation guides and books to assist others.

Lester was planning on placing two cultivation techniques into the Cultivation Island's shop for a measly one contribution point. He understood that this was way too cheap, however, he wasn't doing this for money but instead to help improve the quality of cultivators around him.

The first cultivation book was called, [Qi Breathing] and it was one of the simpler cultivation styles he knew of. Sure it wasn't the simplest but the perk of this cultivation book was the compatibility it had with other techniques. It wasn't specific like other cultivation styles and didn't require much talent. It was able to help fill the core over time and in addition although this cultivation book didn't have a technique for battle, it still assisted with strengthening the body. Once trained to the peak of this cultivation, a human's body would become as strong as that of a beast.

This cultivation was also useful due to the fact that many cultivators on Earth didn't possess a cultivation technique and instead they possessed battle and other types of techniques that didn't necessarily improve cultivation level. Therefore, the [Qi Breathing] cultivation book was a great choice.

The second cultivation book was called, [Spirit Incarnation Manual]. This manual revolved around creating a contract with an otherworldly spirit and using that spirit to cultivate. This manual was a little better than the [Qi Breathing] cultivation book as there were chances of gaining techniques depending on the spirit that the contract was formed with. There was also a much better chance of breaking through to the Rooted Core Ream. Although this cultivation manual was better, it was also a little more difficult to practice as even if one can cultivate this manual, creating a contract with an otherworldly spirit could be a huge challenge to some cultivators.

The third and last cultivation technique that Lester was planning on releasing to the world was called, [Fiend Core Assistance]. This cultivation technique allowed the individual to use a beast's core to assist in their cultivation. The only downside to the cultivation was the fact that a lot of the cultivator's core properties would be influenced by the beast's core. The upside to this was the techniques gained would be the same used by the beast and if the beast is special enough then the individual cultivating this technique would have great potential. Out of the three, this technique would be in between the [Qi Breathing] and the [Spirit Incarnation Manual] which would be the hardest. And the only reason the [Fiend Core Assistance] was so hard was due to the fact that only strong magical beasts were capable of creating cores in their bodies and killing one was troublesome. Only Late Stage Cultivators would be able to take on the weakest magical beasts

This cultivation technique was also useful as it encouraged cultivators to kill more beasts and complete more missions.

Overall all three techniques were capable of bringing a cultivator to the Rooted Core Realm, which was a huge boost of power for the human race.

Pulling out his phone he began to take pictures of the writing he had done in regards to these cultivation techniques and how to practice them. He went through a screening process where he answered several questions and background checks in regards to his character and purpose. He also was required to sign a contract stating the consequences of uploading a defective cultivation technique and since he knew these techniques were real and effective he had no qualms signing any of them. He chose to remain anonymous and to hide his name as the publisher of these techniques, however, he wasn't too confident in the Cultivation Island keeping it a secret as he was sure other countries and individuals would be able to dig deep enough and find the intel they needed.

After doing this, he put the papers aside and proceeded to the shower as he was prepared to head out once again. He planned to take up several missions close to one another and proceed to complete them. Since his rank had risen significantly he was able to take more dangerous missions, and he was fully confident in his current level to face beasts capable of going against lower Rooted Core cultivators.

He wanted to leave as soon as possible, as he was fired up to give it a second go, and explore a little more of this new world.
