In the cultivation ground of the Maker Mansion, Hengsheng sat in the lotus pose on his cultivation mat, his eyes closed, while both of his hands held a fortune of high-grade spirit stones as he absorbed their spiritual qi from them into his body.
The spiritual qi running through his body moved to the lower dantian, filling it up. The spirit core inside the dantian refined the spiritual qi, changing it into his own and making it denser little by little, which results in more quantitative and qualitative.
After that, Hengsheng's spiritual qi moved out of the lower dantian, following the vast qi meridian pathway, going to two destinations simultaneously—one to the upper dantian, the other to the 3 True Body Gates.
The spiritual qi that went to the upper dantian, when it arrived, filled the dantian with spiritual qi just like when it was in the lower dantian, but it did not mean to be just a qi reserve space.
The spiritual qi inside the upper dantian was gradually being consumed to refine the Spiritual Symbol within the dantian, making it stronger, and the Divine Sense generated from it became even more potent.
On the other side, another tide of spiritual qi moved toward the True Body Gate, with the first gate located in the middle of the heart, the second and the third along the spine.
Even though they were all located differently within his physical body, they had a spiritual connection to the middle dantian on Hengsheng's chest.
Then spiritual qi flowed into the first gate, the second, and the third gate simultaneously!
The true body gates radiate with the crimson aura.
With the spiritual qi flowing into the True Body Gates, a large amount of true qi was produced—it quickly overflowed the middle dantian.
The overflowing crimson true qi soon emerged into the physical heart, which was closely connected to the middle dantian.
The True Qi is blended with blood at the heart, causing the heart to beat like crazy, pumping a large amount of blood with the True Qi in it through the whole body.
The True Qi moves through the pathway of the System Circuit - True Body framework; it moves through the vessels, veins, and other organs within Hengsheng's body.
While the blood moves through the cultivator's body, the True Qi within it refines the flesh and bone throughout the body.
When the blood returns to the cultivator's heart again, the True Qi within the blood is almost used up, before it is refilled with True Qi that overflows by the middle dantian once again, then moves out of the heart to start another round of the True Body refinement cycle.
Each cycle of True Body refinement, the cultivator's True Body framework will be refined and assimilated into the cultivator's flesh and bone, causing the cultivator's body to gradually adapt to the power of True Qi and True Body.
In other words, the cultivator's body will become stronger each time they go through the True Body refinement cycle.
When the cultivator reaches the complete cycle stage, meaning their body is fully adapted to the power of the True Qi and True Body of their current gate, the path to the next gate will be perceptible to their body.
Hengsheng has already reached the complete cycle stage of the third gate of the True Body Realm, and now he is about to open the fourth gate.
The breakthrough of a minor stage in the True Body Realm is not hard, at least not for him, because there is no tribulation or other complexity.
The obstacles in cultivating this True Body realm are resources and time.
The resources required to cultivate from the first gate to the second gate of the True Body Realm are more than enough to raise a newbie cultivator from the Body Awakening Realm to the peak of the Spiritual Foundation Realm, three rounds.
The resource consumption rate increases significantly in this realm.
Loose cultivators are likely to be the ones in the most difficult situation when cultivating in the True Body Realm, as most of their lifespan would be spent searching for cultivation resources.
After all, the True Body Realm is all about cultivating one's body; any body refinement is the same, which is focused on sabotaging people's wealth.
However, Hengsheng, who had endless resources, did not face any difficulty regarding resources; the only thing he needed was time.
The time he needed for cultivation.
The time he needed for his body to adapt.
The time he needed to stabilize his cultivation realm.
Back to Hengsheng's inner body.
Hengsheng's body felt the fourth true body gate that became perceptible on his spine a little lower than his chest.
He started the breakthrough process immediately.
His breakthrough process is rough, but it suits him.
He will use the same method as he used to break through in both the second and third gates.
He activates the system storage, and then a pile of natural treasures and spirit stones appears beside him, and then he begins to absorb their qi and essence into his body all at once!
The massive tide of qi and essence floods into his body violently.
Hengsheng's body heated up from the intense energy within his veins, his body turning red because of the heat at a visible rate.
If it were other people, they would become injured due to the massive amount of qi going inside their body all at once, but Hengsheng had vast meridians, and his body is very tough due to his evolved superhuman race—he can take it!
Soon, the tide of qi and essence reaches the fourth gate and then—
BANG!
The tide smashed into the fourth gate, forcing it to open with the overwhelming power!
BOOM!
The fourth gate could not endure this ridiculous amount of energy, and it snapped open immediately.
When the fourth gate was opened wide, the high-density True Qi flowed out from it like a flood.
The crimson tide of the True Qi swept across the entire body, nourishing the body with its power.
The True Qi from the fourth gate flowed through the True Body Framework, causing the framework to evolve, becoming capable of containing more True Qi and utilizing it more effectively.
The veins, vessels, and organs glowed with the crimson aura of the True Qi.
The fourth gate soon formed a spiritual connection with all the True Body Gates, making the True Qi within the middle dantian denser.
After a while, the crimson aura of True Qi slowly faded away until it was all gone, and Hengsheng's red-hot body slowly cooled down.
The aura of a Fourth Gate True Body Realm cultivation base started to emanate from him.
This was a sign, a sign of… that.
Hengsheng had officially become a Fourth Gate True Body Realm cultivator.
Hengsheng opened his eyes.
The first thing he does is to check his progress with the system.
Ding!

Hengsheng smirked.
"With my current strength, if I fight with Xi Tianqi again, I would be able to fight him with pure cultivation base," Hengsheng murmured while thinking back to 2 years ago.
At that time, he had just become a Second Gate True Body Realm when the Xi Dynasty attacked his decoy headquarters in South Sea Gulf City.
Most people only know about his fight with the Grand General of the Southern Sea Kingdom, who is at the peak of the True Body Realm.
He was a formidable enemy for most people on this continent, but that guy was not a problem for Hengsheng.
Most mortals and cultivators who heard the story thought it was an epic battle, but that is not what really happened.
In truth.
The Grand General was easily defeated by Hengsheng with just 100 moves, in the fight, he did not even give his all.
After that, he was sent to his prison in the Endless Wealth Peak, keeping him for information.
Then, Hengsheng moved to the Xi Dynasty's territory to fight the real battle, as he intended not to drag out the conflict.
He wanted to end it all at once.
The real problem of the conflict between his company and the Xi Dynasty was not the Grand General or King Xi, but the former king of the Xi Dynasty, Xi Tianqi, a secret protector of the Xi Dynasty.
This guy was at the Early Stage of the Spirit Integration Realm.
Hengsheng could not fight him even with all his might, since the power gap between these two major realms is immense.
To win that battle, Hengsheng spent 10 million System Points to boost his cultivation realm by 1 minor realm, making him as strong as a Third Gate cultivator.
It helped a little, but not enough to turn the tide of battle.
He had to use other system abilities besides Upgrade, whether it was Dimension Shift, Administrator Domain, or even the ultimate skill to summon Hunter to help him fight.
These tricks allowed him to stand a chance against the Spirit Integration Realm cultivator.
Even though the fight was still ugly, he finally won.
Ended the conflict with one battle.
