Chapter 2022  Breakthrough

Pearl was so strong when the symbol appeared on his forehead that it was laughable how weak the final Dao lightning appeared at the end.

Pearl stood tall and proud, with not a single scratch on his body as he roared with pride and joy. He had finally become an Immortal.

His soul finally merged with his body entirely, his spiritual sea enlarged by a massive amount once again, and a Soul Space opened up within his body.

Pearl also felt his beast core change when he finally reached Immortality. It became… slightly different. He couldn\'t explain what the changes were at the moment. Qi surrounded Pearl at that moment as it filled him from all sides, infusing into his body on its own, filling his core with Immortal Qi. He hadn\'t used up a large amount of Qi, so all the Qi did was fill him. There was no need to heal him.

Alex and Whisker arrived at the peak, and they quickly took Pearl into an embrace.

"You did it, Pearl!" "Congratulations, brother!" "I did it!" Pearl said with a bright smile, the other\'s joy making him even happier. "Haha, I\'m an Immortal now."

The three celebrated as the dark clouds above them dissipated, letting in bright sunlight. "Brother, I need to continue cultivating," Pearl said. He had just become an Immortal, so he had to solidify his foundation. His body had grown acclimated to this world, so unlike Alex, it wouldn\'t take weeks. He could probably do it in less than a day.

"Yes, of course," Alex said, letting go of Pearl. "Go on, cultivate. I will begin my breakthrough as well."

Pearl moved to one side of the mountain where he began to cultivate. Alex sat on the top of the mountain and began his own breakthrough as well. The breakthrough was rather simple, taking no time at all. He had been ready for this for some time now and had even pushed his breakthrough further and further back to match Pearl\'s, so the speed was bound to be high.

Still, it took him half a day to complete the breakthrough and then another half a day before he stabilized his cultivation base. All in all, by the next day, he was done with his breakthrough and had firmly landed in the Immortal Ascendant 2nd realm. Alex couldn\'t wait to go and test how strong he was. He couldn\'t wait to test how strong Pearl was as well.

Pearl was done by the time Alex was done as well and walked up to the peak to meet with him.

"Are you done?" Pearl asked.

"Yes," Alex said and turned to look at Pearl.

Pearl gave off the aura of an Immortal now, which Alex still found himself unable to believe. His body had to have grown stronger as well now.

"You opened up a Soul Space, right? How large is it?" Alex asked curiously.

"It\'s… large," Pearl said. "Didn\'t sister Scarlet say she only had 70 meters?"

"Yes," Alex said, curious now. "What do you have?"

"At least 250," Pearl said. "Why is it so big?"

Alex couldn\'t help but be surprised. "250?" he asked. "That\'s amazing. That\'s like 10 times more than any of your grandmothers. Did your grandpa tell you why is?"

Pearl shook his head. "Grandpa has those earrings, so it wasn\'t the same for me as it was for him."

"I guess so," Alex said. He wondered if it was thanks to his father\'s bloodline. His father didn\'t have as large a Soul Space himself, only about 70 meters in width, but then, Pearl was also a unique existence as well.

The first ever child of two of the heavenly beasts. This was something unseen before this.

Then, there was also that thing that appeared on his forehead from time to time. Alex had seen it before and asked what it was, but Pearl hadn\'t answered it. Even Bai Jingshen didn\'t answer him, saying it was something very important to just the heavenly beasts.

There may come a time in the future when he would be told, but as it was now, neither of them told him what it was. Alex didn\'t blame them though. It must be quite important to not share it with anyone else.

"You didn\'t grow at all. I thought you would be as big as your grandpa after becoming an Immortal," Alex said.

"I did grow," Pearl said. "Or I can. I just chose to be this size."

"How big can you get?" Alex asked.

Pearl grew just then, becoming larger and larger until he was massive and looking down at Alex. He was the size of an elephant and looked quite fearsome as well.

His fur hadn\'t changed colors as no black stripes had come through. Beneath his fur, the skin was covered in a sort of scale-like marks that couldn\'t be seen through the fur.

"I wished you looked less like a tiger so I could keep you outside…" Alex trailed off slowly. "Wait, you can become a human now!" He couldn\'t believe that had entirely escaped his mind. He had been so excited about Pearl becoming a human beforehand, and he had somehow forgotten until now.

He quickly called Whisker out. "Come on, show us. Change into a human."

"Okay, I will try," Pearl said. "I don\'t know how to do it, but…"

His form suddenly changed. Pearl\'s body glowed brightly for a moment before it all changed down to the size of a human. When the light disappeared, all that stood there was a human with no sign whatsoever that he had been a beast just before this.

Pearl\'s human body wore a white robe on a thin body. His hair was somewhat long, not unlike Alex\'s own hair. His face was small and cute, but his golden eyes were quite striking to look at.

Alex was surprised to see Pearl\'s human form. "Incredible!" he said. "And you come with your own robes too. I thought you would be naked for a second there."

"Yeah," Pearl said, looking at himself. He moved around his hand and touched his face. "Woah! Is this what fingers are like? So weird."

He pulled his hair in front of his face and looked at the color. "Oh, it\'s not yellow," he said.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Alex asked. He could only see blonde hair from where he was standing.

"Look," Pearl said, showing his hair toward Alex. Alex looked at it closer and realized that there was a tinge of green on the otherwise blonde hair. "Why is it green?" Pearl asked.

"It\'s mostly blonde," Alex said. "Green might be from your father\'s side. Just a bit of it."

"Oh…" Pearl said. "My father had green hair? I thought he had blue hair. That\'s what Grandpa said."

"Blue and Yellow make Green," Alex said and simply shrugged. That was all he could tell about beasts\' genetics. Maybe it followed the law of colors. Pearl nodded and looked through his body. "I can reach my back now," he said. "I can scratch my own back."

Alex couldn\'t help but laugh. "There are many more things you can do," he said. "Come, sit. Let me check if there is something different between you and a human."

"Okay," Pearl said and quickly sat down on the grass. His first instinct had been to lay on his chest, but he knew better than to do that. He slowly got leaned down and sat on his butt. Alex took Pearl\'s hand and quickly did a thorough checkup of his body. To his surprise, nearly everything in Pearl\'s body was the same as that of a human.

The only things that were different were the Meridians and the Dantians.

The meridians were a little weirdly placed around the body, not following the exact pathways that would be in a human. But it wasn\'t so big a change that there would be any major problems with that in the future.

From what Alex knew, it was changed in such a way that Pearl could use both beast skills and human skills while being in this form. The other thing that was different was the Dantian. To be fair, it was wrong to even call it a Dantian, as it was actually a Beast Core. Even as a human, the core still remained that of a beast.

Unlike a human\'s Dantian, this didn\'t turn into a fleshy core and instead remained solid as it always was.

Aside from the two, Alex couldn\'t find anything different within Pearl\'s body. If he didn\'t know any better, he would\'ve just thought he was looking at a regular human body.

Even the meridians were only noticeable to him because he was used to looking through so many other people\'s meridians.s

"Looks great for now," Alex said. "You are as close to a human as you can be."

Pearl nodded.

"We should leave for now. We can continue this somewhere else," he said.

"Okay," Pearl said and tried to stand up and nearly fell down. He was like a toddler, only just learning how to walk. He could barely balance himself.

Pearl had to use Qi to balance himself in the end and would need a bit of training before he could become like a normal human.

Alex tested to see if Pearl could still be put into his Beast Space as a human, and it turned out that he could. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Once Pearl was inside, he shut down the formations around the tribulation mountain and left.
