Wait, System. I'm not done yet. William said in his mind as he drew more of the surrounding Mana into close proximity of him. It had started evaluating his Cultivation Technique on its own, but there was more to be done.
After absorbing so many World Cores over the last few months, William had gained a general understanding of Chaotic Qi. The System explained a little bit about how Chaotic Qi worked, but there was much more to it than that.
First, he understood that the only Mana suitable to beco Chaotic Qi was what had been stored within the World Cores. The stronger the World Core, the more Primordial Mana, as the System called it, was stored.
Both of these things beca obvious after he tried to create Chaotic Qi of his own, despite the System claiming he couldn't harness it yet.
Second, Chaotic Qi was ford by the compression of Primordial Mana, which explained why the System said his Cultivation Technique wasn't strong enough. In order to compress Primordial Mana into its Qi counterpart, the force of his new Cultivation Technique needed to be at least a thousand tis stronger than the Epic-Ranked Mana Devourer Technique.
If one wasn't able to et this standard, the compressed Mana would never exceed the level of Spirit Qi. The only bonus was that highly compressed Spirit Qi was still more useful than regular Spirit Qi and could enhance one's combat power, just not as much as Chaotic Qi.
The final and least obvious characteristic of Chaotic Qi was its character. While absorbing the Light Veins a few months prior, William noticed that the Primordial Mana within wouldn't react to his call no matter how he tried to extract it on his own.
Only the System was able to do so, and it took him weeks to figure out that the System was actually using Mana of the Chaos Elent to resonate with the Primordial Mana. It quickly activated and deactivated the Chaos Elent from sowhere deep within his body, drawing the Primordial Mana out of the Vein and into William's body where the System took it for itself.
After reviewing his mories and going all the way back to when he absorbed the first Lesser Life Vein, William realized that the System had been doing this even then. Of course, it would have been impossible for the old him to notice this fact, since he hadn't acquired the Chaos Affinity until much later.
With a much greater understanding of how Primordial Mana worked and how it could be compressed into Chaotic Qi, William teleported to the Dragon Continent and expanded his range even further. Instead of targeting everything within range of him, however, William decided to go one step further and target only the Greater Elental Veins.
With Cultivation at the Soul Formation Realm and not yet at the peak, William didn't have the ability to absorb the Superior World Cores on his own. He still needed the System for that. Regardless, the Greater World Cores would serve as a suitable enough experint.
The Dragon Continent housed the Elental Veins of the Plant, Ice, Wind, Dream, and Summoning Elents, which allowed William to simultaneously target twenty-five Greater Veins at once! William used the Chaos Affinity to draw out the Primordial Mana the sa way the System did, then pulled it all towards him at the sa ti.
After the Primordial Mana had all been drawn to him, William switched to the Order Elent and perford the sa movents as he did before, organizing and compressing the Mana into Spirit Qi.
The compression didn't stop there, however, as William opened the Territory of Order and activated its second function that allowed him to improve the Mana's condition to its peak potential. The Spirit Qi was compressed dozens, hundreds, and eventually a thousand tis until it beca a single drop of black and purple liquid that William promptly pulled towards his body.
The mont the liquid touched William's Illusionist's Cloak, the material divided into two parts and was corroded like a tough acid through wood. Even with all the Arrays that William continued to upgrade alongside his improved strength, the material was completely unable to withstand the natural properties of the Chaotic Qi.
When it ca in contact with William's skin, almost the sa series of events unfolded. Regardless of the Hard Body or Fitness Talents, or even his own Cultivation, nothing could suppress the Chaotic Qi at all. It lted William's body like ice cream on a hot day, passing through the layers of skin, muscle, and bone in an instant until it reached his Dantian.
William, afraid of the effects of the Chaotic Qi on his Dantian, released a large amount of Chaos Mana and wrapped it around the Qi, allowing it to take the brunt of the damage. Additionally, he wrapped the Chaos Mana in Seal Mana enhanced by his comprehension, finally suppressing the drop of Chaotic Qi.
-I told you that your body and Dantian need to be strong enough to handle the Chaotic Qi.
I know, but...
-You didn't expect the Chaotic Qi to be so strong? Neither did I my first ti. I applaud your ability to handle it without my help, though.
Were you going to let destroy my Dantian if I didn't ask for help? William asked in his mind.
-The Chaotic Qi would have at most sent you back to the Golden Core Realm before dissipating. There was no need to assist you.
-Chaotic Qi is not a violent attack, else the damage wouldn't be as simple. With a few months of Cultivation, your Dantian would have recovered.
William was surprised to hear that a single drop of non-violent Chaotic Qi was enough to ruin an entire Realm worth of Cultivation, but he heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the Chaotic Qi was calmly seated next to his Dantian.
He couldn't absorb it unless he removed the dual-Elent sealing, but William was satisfied to know that his Cultivation Technique was able to draw in Chaotic Qi on its own. Seeing the strength of the new Qi, William was motivated to improve his body so he could make use of it sooner.

-Na your Technique.
William was prepared for a high rating from the System, but he had completely forgotten to choose a suitable na for his Cultivation Technique beforehand. Considering he spent three months devising it, one would have thought a na would already be prepared.
This will probably be the last Cultivation Technique I create on the Mortal Realms. Eventually I will Ascend, and this final Technique will be a new beginning for .
One day I may use even better Techniques, but this will be the end of the beginning, then the beginning of the end.
To a regular human, my Cultivation range seems near infinite... infinity...
The end of the beginning, the beginning of the end, but infinite. Oga is infinite, and it's also the last letter of the Greek alphabet. But if I want to call it reverse infinity, I should flip the word around...
As William's mind spun at a rapid pace, a phrase ford in his mind, perfectly describing the Cultivation Technique he had just created.
System, I think I'll na it Agemo Primordial Compression.
