Chapter 110 System V3
One month later,
My hair was overflowing. My face haggard. But those were all secondary. Because once again, the system knew exactly what I needed and it came to my rescue after the second update.

The system had some obvious changes. It was clearly the addition of Dao. That was probably the story line part that the system was talking about. Maybe it did not expect me to comprehend Dao this quickly.
And surprisingly, the system had its own Dao comprehension system ready. Rather than a whole step by step guide though, this process was a little different. It told me what Dao actually was.
Something that originated from nothing, something that represented the origin of power, it was all very primordial. All of it sounded mystical. But I finally understood how to cultivate the Dao. It was about understanding the origin of the power that I was cultivating.
The Dao of Ice was easy enough. With the cold seeping in from around me, I could feel my sweat constantly turning into Ice. I could feel the Ice around me.
With all of this, all of a sudden, the system just gave me a notification saying that I learnt the Dao of Ice! It happened too quickly.
And as if my body knew this, I suddenly could use this Dao anytime, anywhere. There was moisture in the air everywhere. I suddenly had the power to turn this moisture into ice! This did not need any Qi at all. But, for some reason, it did hurt my head whenever I used this power.
The second change was even more obvious. The increase in my cultivation. With so much time in my hands, I was finally able to take that Foundation Tempering Pill. With that, my dantian grew much stronger, and it became so much easier to force it to grow.
Along with that, the sheer amount of Qi within the room was just too much. I was not shocked at all that I grew this much in so little time. The month was eventful to say the least.
Now, I was sure that I could beat that deacon with my eyes closed. I knew now that all he had was sheer power. He knew nothing about the Dao.
But one thing that set me off was that every time I used the power of the Daos, it felt like I was making this unspeakable connection with what I presumed to be the heavens. It felt like I was borrowing their power.
I did not want to borrow their power. I wanted to make this power my own. But all that aside, I had a goal that I had to reach now. I had to break through to the Core Formation Stage.
Two pills appeared in my hands. All this time, I also took the time to create a few pills. I had one of the best ingredients for a fruit for someone in the Foundation Establishment Stage who was going to the Core Formation Stage.
I had the Hidden Qi Peaches. The Hidden Qi Pills in my hands were perfect to break through to the Core Formation Stage. They would provide me with the Qi I needed without overloading my veins. I would use them to create the Core that master told me to form.
I popped one into my mouth and took a deep breath. I was still standing, and started performing the Heaven Devouring Art. It remained the best art to absorb all the efficacy of the pill.
Qi started pouring into my body. It clearly had some attribute, but that was not of any concern to me now. My Qi would not be so easily influenced anymore.
I guided all the Qi into my dantian. I started forcing the Dantian in my body to compress now. That was the obvious step. Now, I needed to make a core, and that meant making all the Qi a single source.
All the Qi started repelling, and cracks started appearing all over the dantian. I felt sweat beads fall off my face.
Whew!
I heard a sound around me. This force that seemed to make all the Qi repel itself disappeared. The Qi started compressing, and the dantian came together. I could feel layers upon layers of Qi fuse together. The Qi formed a golden hue as it came together.
The dantian was in the shape of a core now. The size of the core was small. Much smaller than before. If before, it was the size of a water melon, then now, it was the size of a walnut.
But one thing was certain. It had more Qi than before, and I felt stronger overall.
Ping!
Ping!
Ping!
Notification after another, the system started pinging.
[Congratulations. Host has entered the Core Formation Stage.]
[Congratulations. Host has entered the proper cultivation to be called a cultivator. Host has earnt the title - Cultivator. If equipped, title will boost agility and strength by one point each.]
[Congratulations. Host has achieved recognition from the world. The World recognizes Host as a child of Dao. Host can equip this title. When equipped, Host will not face any bottlenecks until the [Error] stage.]
"What the hell just happened here? I am a child of Dao?" I muttered.
"What did you just say? You are a child of Dao?!" Liu Man suddenly cried out in shock.
