Epoch: A Berserker's Rise

Chapter 214: Spiritual Beings



Chapter 214: Spiritual Beings

The moment he bit into the fruit, Adam felt a strong and warm current of energy exit from the fruit and infiltrate his body. Adam could also feel it was trying to leave his body, but thanks to his perfect mastery of his internal energy he was able to keep all the fruit's energy inside his body.

At the same time, the fruit itself was quite delicious, and was definitely to Adam's liking. It was the best fruit he had ever eaten. He couldn't help but wonder what the Lesser Holy Water Fruit would taste like

But it wasn't time to think about this. Adam quickly began cultivating to assimilate the new energy within his body. The minutes passed, and soon Adam had been cultivating for half an hour. Only then did he open his eyes, he had finally finished absorbing the fruit. He could feel he had gotten stronger.

Adam didn't hesitate to pluck out another fruit and eat it too.

In the end, it took Adam six entire hours to eat and assimilate all 12 fruits, which was the total amount of fruits there were on the tree. If he wasn't wrong in his assumption, then there would only be twelve fruits for every harvest.

He also noticed that although the tree was massive, it was made of exactly twelve main branches from which other smaller branches grew. But what was important was that one fruit was growing from each of the main branches, so the limit of the fruits were probably linked to that.

Eating those twelve fruits gave Adam an unexpected surprise, as not only they gave him 12000 stats to all three of his attributes, but it also boosted his level from 70 to 81!

Originally, it would have taken Adam a month of intense cultivation to reach this level, but the fruits had allowed him to skip this month and reach an even stronger level!

Those were definitely good news as this meant less and less Sage monsters and demons could threaten him. Just in term of speed, Adam was pretty sure he was already faster than all the demons, including Tazolos.

However, if he didn't find other similar treasures then levelling up would become much harder than before since he had reached yet another cap. He had tried cultivating normally after eating all the fruits, and from what he could feel, it would take him slightly less than three months to reach Level 90.

Three months of intense cultivation wasn't something trivial, Adam could spend his entire day cultivating seriously because he liked it and he had to get stronger very quickly and he had enough willpower to do so, but for most people they wouldn't be able to cultivate so seriously for so long and it would take them many more months, maybe years.

Or at least, that was what Adam thought. Actually, for people in Epoch they didn't face this problem as they leveled up by killing monsters, while people on Earth were too limited by their talent and absorbed Qi at a much lesser speed than Adam did.

Anyway, those were great news, and that was all he needed to take of it. Adam had already looted everything from the cave, except what was most probably the most valuable thing, the tree, and the pond.

He had also found through the month that the water wasn't just regular water, it had allowed him to boost his cultivation efficiency. It would be foolish to leave those treasures here, so he used his Aura to form a big hand and scooped a handful of dirt.

Of course, it was a gigantic handful, which allowed him to take both the tree and the pond without damaging the roots in the slightest. Then, he stored the tree on the 58th Floor, which was filled with the elements of Nature. This was the best environment for the tree and the pond as they would both get enriched with time.

Although he didn't know about the Rose Tree in particularity, he still knew about this kind of trees, called Spiritual Trees, on which wonderful fruits would grow. Some were like the Lesser Holy Water Fruit, allowing the user to boost their comprehension over a concept, and others were like the Rose Tree, allowing one to boost their level.

Many wished they could possess a Spiritual Tree, but they were very rare, and it was hard to come across one. The pond was essentially the same, it was a Spiritual Water, and they also varied in effects. They were quite rare too.

The most famous Spiritual Water was Orui's Oasis, the famous Holy Land of Orcs which could only be found by chance and allowed those soaked in it's waters to have a boosted comprehension.

The two fell under the category of Spiritual Bodies. Spiritual Bodies could be strengthened over time, and it was Adam's intentions. He would let the two absorb the rich nature elements in the Blood Tower, which were the best nutriments for it and that could even be recharged, and cultivate the two until they became priceless treasures.

Adam left the cave with a smile on his lips and flew back toward his base. He had become even faster with his boost in strength, and it took him less than a second to reach the base. This time though, he didn't make any noise.

He then flew down and entered the base. It had already been six hours since he had killed the Sage Ape, so Helena and her men had more than enough time to arrive.

Jafar had already explained to her everything that needed to be explained, and she wasn't nearly as reluctant as him apparently as Adam could see the population of his base had increased already.

After a round of mind scanning, Adam fished out three spies before he was able to relax for the day. Or so he thought. Helena didn't take long to come find him in his room, to ask for cultivation advice.

She didn't have to worry about cultivation itself since she was under the system and only had to kill monsters, but she had to work like anyone else if she wanted to comprehend the concepts.

Adam first asked her "Which Concept have you started to understand?"

Helena respectfully replied "The Sovereign Concepts of Wind and Sword, as well as the Advanced Concept of Ice."

Adam nodded and said "You are luckier than your senior disciples, I can help you with all your concepts. Do you have any question?"

Through this exchange Adam got to learn more about her. She was quite strong, just as he thought, all she lacked really was some experience in fighting to fight against Sage monsters and Hero cultivators.

After a few hours, Adam managed to answer all of Helena's questions, and showed her several ways to use all those Concepts, and he also taught her more about the meridians in the body.

After she left, Adam didn't immediately start cultivating, but began thinking. While he taught her, Adam also asked her a few questions, and learned a lot.

Apparently, the understanding of Concepts and Essences in Epoch was very lacking. Barely any people had understand Essences, and they were all Legends. And even the few who managed to understand an Essence, it would be at most an Advanced one for the greatest geniuses, and Basic ones for most.

And even then, most Legends were still stuck at the Concept level, barely managing to understand it to 100% for the major part. As a result, the skills people were capable of using were low leveled most of the time, most Legends were only able to cast A Rank skills.

As for Heroes, the absolute best could also cast A Rank Skills, but most were using B Rank ones.

Adam had witnessed how the Sage Beasts he fought mostly used raw strength to fight, but he simply thought it was because they were monsters and in a separate dimension.

Apparently, even the Heroes from the Racial Powers in Epoch would mainly use raw strength. This meant Adam could potentially be much stronger than he used to think he was.

Since he started fighting with Sage Rank beings, he always held back against those more than 100 levels higher than him, but if their fighting style was restricted to only using their pure stats then they really were much weaker than he originally thought.
