To form the 5th Rank, one must first understand what the 5th Rank truly is.
Everyone had their own theories.
Some called it a mere gateway to the 6th Rank. Some called it the threshold where one leaves behind their mortality to transcend into a higher life form, a being of pure energy. Some claimed it was the ultimate state of true enlightenment. Others argued it was the harmonization with natural laws or the manifestation of a personal domain. A few even believed it was the exact point where a cultivator finally shed the weight of their karmic chains to become unbound.
But Grey knew the truth.
The 5th Rank was none of those grand illusions. It was a realm fundamentally equivalent to planting a seed in the world.
Origin Core... The Source.
Titles did not matter because they all held the exact same purpose and meaning. They were the anchor to the universe!
It was all about planting the Seed of Origin.
