Chapter 9: Fourth Different Paths
"Someone is coming out," A servant pointed at Alexander as he walked out of the Royal Inheritance Palace.
"It's The Fifth Prince Alexander!!" Someone replied after a while.
Screams of shock came out of the surrounding servants as they saw the new and improved Alexander standing there with a nonchalant look on his face.
"Quick, inform the Second Prince."
"...The Third Prince."
"...Fourth.."
The servants all ran toward their different master's palace. The whole reason they were watching the Inheritance Palace was to tell their princes if the Fifth Prince came out.
After all the servants were gone, there was only a single old man quietly standing there smiling at Alexander.
"Jeffrey!" Alex smiled as he realized who this was. Jeffrey was the only butler his father assigned to take care of him since he was a kid. You could say he was like a second father to Alexander.
"Congratulations your highness, You succeeded in receiving the ancestor's inheritance," Jeffrey smiled and nodded.
"Come, Let's return to the Palace."
Alexander nodded and followed Jeffrey back to his royal palace. Every Prince had a royal palace bestowed on them by their father once they were old enough to live on their own.
Once Alexander arrived at his royal palace, he understood why he would take the risk of dying in the inheritance. There were no servants in his palace, no even cleaning maids. Everything was handled by Jeffrey for the past few years. At first, he had many servants and maids, but as the year went by and he showed no talent in anything, they all left to follow the other princes in the hope of a better future. From then on, It was just him and Jeffrey.
"Jeffrey, I am going to my room to cultivate," Alexander said as soon as he entered the Palace.
"Of course, Young Master," Jeffrey said and looked at Alexander's back secretly thinking, "He's changed so much, perhaps this inheritance might be the chance he needs to change his situation."
Alexander sat on his bed and slowly circulated his qi while thinking, "My brothers have long reached the peak of the semi-devil and demigod realm, only steps from surpassing the mortal realm and becoming great beings."
"With this system, I will be able to catch up, but I don't just want to catch up, I want to surpass and leave them in the dust!"
Opening the system, Alexander went to the cultivation techniques and bought three techniques. Taking them out of the system, three books appeared in front of him.
SHINING GREAT TREASURE BODY TECHNIQUE
NINE SUNS GODLY BEING MANUAL
SMILING LAUGHING JOY SOUL TECHNIQUE
These three cultivation techniques cost Alexander a whopping 40,000GDP, but he didn't hesitate for a moment to buy them. These were all part of his plans to steal the throne, he would cultivate four different paths!
God, Devil, Body, and Soul!
Alexander picked up the Shining Great Treasure Body Technique and began flipping through it. This was a relatively basic but powerful body cultivation technique with five levels.
Alexander begins to practice the first level, Skin to Gold. Natural energy in the surrounding area of his palace rushed towards his room and started to refine his skin.
"Such a mass absorption range!"
Jeffrey was shocked as the surrounding natural energy rushed into Alexander's room. The inheritance kept shocking him. First Alexander came back looking completely different as if turned into a whole new person. Now, just by cultivating, he was able to absorb the surrounding energy for 500 miles around him. This left him speechless, his hopes of Alexander sitting on the throne were slowly increasing.
Back in Alexander's room, long streaks of Gold were forming on his skin, slowly filling his whole body. Strength pulsed around his body, rejuvenating him as he cultivated. As time slowly passed, Alexander opened his eyes, his skin had fully turned Gold, making like look like an ancient golden statue.
Exhaling a breath of air, Alexander brought his hand up to see the pure gold skin on his body.
"First level complete," Alexander smiled and retracted the technique into his being. The Gold Skin returned to his normal light brown skin and Alexander smiled.
"It's a good thing I can control it." He didn't want to completely turn into a Gold prince. He could imagine himself walking around and people drooling thinking about how much they would get if they skinned him and sold his Golden skin. Alexander shivered at the thought.
Activating the technique again, Gold immediately appeared on his body and Alexander felt powerful strength rushing through his body.
"Good!"
Alexander looked at the second technique he had bought from the system. Nine Suns Godly Being Manual. Alexander had thought of a lot of things before he bought this God path cultivation technique. He had an idea, a crazy idea but if that idea worked, he would be crazy powerful. Thinking about whether he should take a break and go out to see Jeffrey, he decided against it and would continue to cultivate. Jeffrey wouldn't bother his cultivation, and before he left the room, he made it his goal to reach the beginner level in all four paths.
Flipping through the Nine Suns Godly Being Manual, Alexander began to cultivate according to the manual. The God path was the other path on the Gods and Devils World. Like the Devil path, it had 7 great realms. Ascension, Demigod, Sublime God, High God, God Master, Godking, God Monarch. But different from the Devil path and Body path, The God path used Heavenly energy to cultivate. Heavenly energy came from the heavens, harnessed by mortals to cultivate the Dao and surpass mortality.
Alexander followed the methods in the manual and felt the heavenly energy in the surroundings and pulled it towards him.
A great being in the Central Palace opened his eyes and looked towards Alexander's palace and smiled, merely saying "Oh" and closing his eyes once again.
A long while later, Alexander shrouded in heavenly clouds and energy opened his eyes and lightly smiled. He looked towards his dantian at the 9 seeds floating above his foundation. These were sun seeds that were formed from the Nine Suns goldy being technique. This naturally meant he had reached the peak of the 9th level of the Ascension Realm. If anyone were to look at Alexander right now, They would think he was a godly being surrounded by heavenly clouds and rays of sunlight.
"Only one path left," Alexander thought.
He took the last manual and hurriedly opened it. He was more excited about this manual than any other.
The Soul path was also divided into seven realms. Soul Student, Soul Apprentice, Soul Senior, Soul Master, Soul Ruler, Soul Sage, and Soul Immortal.
After reading the Basic Soul Dao manual, he gathered a basic knowledge of the soul and the soul path. It had also set a foundation for him to cultivate the soul path. When one reached a certain level on the soul path, he could kill great beings with just a look, bring his soul out of his body to change the world around him, and use many mystical and mysterious abilities that scared many races.
Cultivating the Soul Path was indeed very difficult. Soul Students must spend years studying and learning about the soul before using the knowledge they gained to refine their soul into a soul core and reach the next realm, Soul Apprentice.
Thankfully, Alexander had bought the basic soul Dao manual earlier, removing the years needed for him to gather knowledge on the soul.
Heavenly energy once again filled Alexander's room, rushing toward his head. Alexander felt as if he was flying; he hurriedly refined the heavenly energy into soul energy, filling his mind and refining his soul with positive energy.
With every refinement, he could feel his soul getting purer and more condensed. A long time later, a giant explosion went off in his head and he shook. A crystal core had appeared in his head, Alexander had formed his Soul Core.
This meant he had officially reached the Soul Apprentice Realm!
Alexander felt incredibly excited, not believing that he managed to create his core in such a short amount of time. Smiling for a minute, Alexander's face suddenly changed and he started paying attention to his dantian.
The Five Transformation Foundations that were quietly resting in his dantian seem to react to his soul core forming and began to absorb natural energy crazily. The Foundations began to surge and move towards each other to the center of his dantian, mixing and melding with each other.
Before long, a land around 5 acres began to form as lightning sparked and exploded out in his dantian. Water formed and trees sprouted out on the small land. The land continuously absorbed energy like a madman, giving spiritually to the air around the land.
The nine Sun seeds also automatically started to absorb a massive amount of heavenly energy, seemingly provoked by the forming of the land below. The seeds continuously grew bigger as they absorbed more and more heavenly energy. Slowly, nine little crimson suns appeared in Alexander's dantian, hanging peacefully above the small land and providing rays of sunlight, lighting up the land.
[Ding!!Congratulations on the Host reaching the Semi-Devil realm, Demigod realm, Apprentice Soul Realm, and Earth realm of the body cultivation!]
