ULTIMATE PATRIARCH SYSTEM

Chapter 4: ONE YEAR LATER

In the Xuantian world, there were 7 major cultivation stages which have to be broken through before one is able to leave this world and ascend to a higher plane known as the immortal realm.

From the lowest to highest they are: Qi cultivation stage, Foundation building stage, Golden core stage, Nascent Soul stage, Soul transformation stage, Spirit condensation stage and Quasi immortal stage.
Each stage has a total of 10 sub levels that must be passed before going to the next major cultivation stage.

Within a hole in a gigantic mountain, a young man was practicing his spearmanship. Beautiful arcs were drawn in the air with each swing of his spear.

Whooshing sounds could be heard reverberating within the hollowed out mountain.

This was Jin practicing his myriad spear arts. It's been 4 months since he arrived in this world and since then he has been in this spot honing his skills and increasing his cultivation with leaps and bounds.

[Name: Jin]

[Age: 19]

[Race: Human]

[Cultivation: 3rd level of the Foundation building stage]

[Physique: Innate Dao Body]

[Spiritual root: Divine grade]

[System points: none]

[System store: Locked]

Jin had grown from a mere mortal to the 3rd level of the foundation building stage under 4 months!
If anyone knew of his cultivation speed they would doubt their lives and some might even develop heart demons.

During these past 4 months Jin had explored the system extensively and had discovered many hidden functions of the system.
One of those functions being the ability to merge 2 or more techniques together to create a new technique. This worked by making one technique the base technique and merging the rest with it. The limit of mergeable techniques was capped at 3. So one base technique and two auxiliary ones.

The other function was the system's training space. This was an alternate realm within the system specially made for training techniques and trying out new fighting moves.
The space could be altered into the desired landscape, weather or time with a thought by Jin. It also had the ability to create sparring partners made of shadows according to who or what Jin had seen and encountered.

Within the training space, Jin could go all out and even fight to death as the training space had a life saving function. After every fight Jin had he would be healed and return to peak condition upon exiting the training space. He would be directly ejected in peak condition if he ever died in the training space.

During the time he had spent in this mountain cave, he allocated his time to doing different things such as training his Qi and body tempering techniques for half the day and the other half was spent training and perfecting his spear arts in the training space.

Since he had not seen anyone or anything since his arrival to this world he had the system make an apparition of himself as his sparring partner.

The created shadow looked exactly like Jin, even his cultivation level and aura was the same. Jin was also able to increase its cultivation base higher than his. It even wielded his spear arts as well but due to the system, its moves were more superior and looked like they were thoroughly practiced for years.

Jin used every fight as an opportunity to train his spearmanship, fighting style and overall battle prowess,  learning the perfect way to use his techniques without being flashy and wasting spiritual energy.

Jin was also rewarded by the system whenever he won a fight, especially if he won against a higher level opponent.
The rewards ranged from satiety pills to system points and even techniques but those would become available when he defeated or killed people and creatures.
