260- Dantian Potential

After Orochi sat in his room, he first recollected all the information related to the Demi-Human stage, mentioned in the Brown book.

Especially, the matter related to the ‘Dantian Potential’.

In the brown it is mentioned, that as the cultivator’s cultivation progresses from the Low level Demi-Human stage to the Peak level Demi-Human stage, the color of the Dantian also changes accordingly. And with the color, other things like the size, internal storage space, purifying ability, etc also increases accordingly.

For the Low level Demi-Human stage, the Dantian color changes from White color to Bronze color.

For the Mid level Demi-Human stage, the Dantian color changes from Bronze color to Silver color.

For the High level Demi-Human stage, the Dantian color changes from Silver color to Golden color.

But things take a big turn when, a human cultivator tries to break through from the High level demi-human stage to the peak of Demi-Human stage and finally, reaches the peak of Demi-Human stage.

The processes of breaking through to the peak of Demi-Human stage from the high level demi-Human stage, is similar to previous stages- supplying lots of energy to the dantian and letting it evolve from its Golden state to the next state.

So, when a human reaches the peak of Demi-Human stage, the golden dantian changes back to White Dantian.

Yes, Dantian follows the principle of- Back to the Origin.

But there are also cases where the Dantian doesn’t follow this principle or in other words, the process is delayed.

Just like how it is a known fact that after the Dantian absorbs energy to its limit, it will break like an egg and change to its next state- From White to Bronze Dantian, Bronze Dantian to Silver Dantian, and so on...

But sometimes, the same will not happen during the period when the Golden Dantian absorbs energy to its limit and breaks[evolves].

There have been cases where the Golden Dantian after absorbing the energy to its limits, will not change to White Dantian after the Golden dantian breaks[evolves].

Instead, it will still remain in its Golden state.

But this is not a bad thing.

Instead, it is very beneficial to the person who has experienced such abnormality.

And this phenomenon is termed as the ‘Dantian Potential’.

It is mentioned in the brown book that few cultivators face this kind of situation where their dantian still remains in the Golden state even after it evolves/breaks.

Although, there is no change in the state of Golden dantian; its overall size, capacity, and purifying ability still increases drastically.

Hence, this abnormality is a beneficial scenario that every cultivator dreams of.

Dantian Potential is divided into 12 ranks.

Each rank corresponds to the number of times a Dantian has the ability to evolve.

That means the Dantian can evolve a total of 12 times in the Demi-human stage.

But of course, not everyone’s dantian can evolve 12 times, or in other words, have a dantian potential of rank 12.

According to the brown book, an average cultivator or a mediocre cultivator has a Dantian potential of Rank 4. Such that from Low level Demi-Human to High level Demi-Human stage, it is counted as Rank 3, and when the dantian directly evolves from golden to white state, it can be counted as Rank 4.

So, in other words, every cultivator has a basic Dantian potential of Rank 4, but the actual Dantian potential can only be determined by the total number of times Dantian evolves before reaching the peak of Demi-Human stage.

It is written in the brown book,

“Higher the number of times by which one’s Dantian evolves, greater the advantage one has when compared to others at the same level.”

“Such that, each time a Dantian evolves, it's Spiritual Qi purifying ability, Storage space, etc. also increases. Hence, Dantian Potential is what determines the advantage one can have at the same level when compared to others.”

“Hence, the receiver of this book, I hope you could have a good Dantian Potential rank, as it will be a very important factor that will put you ahead of others. Because with a high Dantian Potential, when combined with an excellent cultivation technique, can easily allow you to leapfrog challenge and fight across multiple small realms.”

“It is said that only 1 in 1000 humans, will have a Dantian Potential of rank 5, while the remaining will have the mediocre rank 4 Dantian Potential.”

“And only 1 in 10,000 humans, have a Dantian Potential of rank 6.”

“And only 1 in 100,000 humans, have a Dantian Potential of rank 7.”

“And only 1 in 1 million humans, have a Dantian Potential of rank 8.”

“And only 1 in 10 million humans, have a Dantian Potential of rank 9.”

“And only 1 in 100 million humans, have a Dantian Potential of rank 10.”

“And only 1 in 1 billion humans, have a Dantian Potential of rank 11.”

“And finally, only 1 in 10 billion humans, have a Dantian Potential of rank 12.”

“Now, you must have finally understood the importance of Dantian Potential, you might be wondering what determines one’s Dantian Potential, or on what factors does it depend on, or is there any way that can help in increasing your Dantian Potential before you can break through to the peak of Demi-Human stage.”

“Some say that the Dantian Potential is something that a person is born with, it is completely innate. Is not influenced by other external factors.”

“While others say, it depends on one’s talent. And others say it depends on one’s physical and soul characteristics, and the degree of compatibility and balance of these 2 is what determines Dantian Potential.”

“Various experts have put forward different theories. And all the theories hold some truth in them.”

“So, I cannot give you a definite answer to that, but what I can tell you is a method that will help you in increasing your Dantian Potential by 1.”

“Now, don’t be disappointed because increasing the Dantian Potential by 1 is already a great feat.”

Orochi was caught off-guard by this sentence, as he felt some disappointment when he read that from the book. And the Old man, the original owner of this brown book was crafty and experienced enough to predict Orochi’s disappointment.

‘Crafty Old Man’

Orochi cursed slightly in his heart.

‘Anyway, according to the brown book, if I want to increase my Dantian Potential by 1, then I need to get a very rare fruit called as ‘Earthly Sea Coconut’, which is usually formed near the places where land and water meet; and also, there is a strong concentration of Spiritual Qi.’

‘And finding an ‘Earthly Sea Coconut’ is not an easy thing. Because the places in which they grow are very hard to find, as many factors need to be fulfilled for creating a suitable environment for them. Not to mention, I will waste lots of time if I go on a searching spree.’

‘But if I can’t find it, then I will have to buy or obtain it from somewhere. But there is another problem, that is the ‘Earthly Sea Coconut’ is a Yellow grade fruit, which is impossible to get in a place like the Windy country. Not to mention this place, even finding it in a Kingdom is quite difficult because it is a fruit that has some benefits to even the Royalty realm powerhouses, so there should be some crazy demand for it, so my chances are slim.’

Orochi scratched his head in irritation.

‘Hah... what a blunder. Well, whatever, it can’t be helped. I will simply bleed some money and post a task in the Golden Cloud Chamber of commerce. If I put some good money for the ‘Earthly Sea Coconut’ fruit, I should get some result in 1-2 months.’

Thinking about this, Orochi got up reluctantly and walked out of his room.

Before he walked out of the house, he came across Armelia and June, both of them were in the courtyard.

June was pointing out Armelia and helping her to practice the sword technique.

So, he told them that he was going to the Golden cloud Chamber of commerce to post a task related to the ‘Earthly Sea Coconut’ fruit.

But surprisingly, the news that Orochi received, made him stunned like a statue, he wanted to scold the system in his heart,

“System, are you fusking playing tricks with me? Are you sure you are not scamming me?”

“Or are you malfunctioning?”

“If not, then how... how do you explain all this?”
