Mid Spirit Transmutation Stage Advancement

As a result, others thought Lei Dong's greatest gain was control of this Chaos Dimension, and felt heartache over the many Mind Devourer puppets he had slain. Only Lei Dong knew the truth: he had made a fortune, a truly enormous one. Whether it was the more than one hundred Chaos Crystals refined from the spoils or that one-tenth of a Chaos Origin, both were priceless treasures. The latter especially lived up to its name as the Chaos Origin—the source of all life when the universe was first created.

Only such a treasure could have such heaven-defying effects, gradually transforming Lei Dong's above-average aptitude into that of a genius. He was now every bit as gifted as Wan Yan and the others. Of course, at this point, Lei Dong had also come up against a huge bottleneck in improving his aptitude. For people like Wan Yan, whose aptitude was already exceptional, advancing it further would take far more than a little Chaos Origin.

That was why Lei Dong had not shared that one-tenth of a Chaos Origin with anyone. Rather than spread it too thin to have much effect, he would let it propel his own aptitude forward by leaps and bounds.

Only after reaching genius-level aptitude did Lei Dong truly experience the speed at which Wan Yan and the others cultivated. A single Chaos Crystal now yielded at least seven or eight times the benefit it had before his aptitude improved.
