Chapter 10: Cultivation (I)
I'm sorry for not being able to post a chapter for two weeks. I really don't have time and my exams have started. I have 10 exams next week and I need to study. I will try to prepare a chapter for tomorrow, but if I can't, don't be angry with me.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One night was enough to absorb all the information and get over the fact that I was engaged.
Now, I need to find my father and ask him to teach me cultivation.
I ran through the vast palace and found my father's room.
Without knocking, I barged right in.
"HEY OLD MAN, I READ AND UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING ON THAT SCROLL YOU GAVE ME YESTERDAY. NOW TEACH ME CULTIVATION," I shouted.
I then realized there were two other people in the room besides my father.
I saw my father put his hand on his face.
Looking at the other people, I recognized them as Duke Sunfrye and Duke Balerion.
"HAHAHAHA! The young prince is truly energetic," said Duke Balerion, laughing heartily.
"Indeed he is," said Duke Sunfrye in a calmer tone.
"Alright Alrich, that's enough. I'll come to you later. For now, go and wait for me in the training grounds," said my father.
"Understood, Father," I said respectfully, knowing I had done something wrong.
Oh, come on, it's my father's room. To hell with them! I'll do whatever I want.
I hurried to the training grounds and waited.
I could probably train on my own, but my father would likely suspect something, so there was no need.
When I reached the training grounds, I lay down on the beautiful grass and waited for my father.
After waiting for 20 minutes, my father arrived.
"Aldrich, you need to knock before entering my room. I don't want another incident like today," said my father.
"Understood, Father," I said indifferently.
My father sighed and sat down cross-legged.
"Now listen carefully, Aldrich. I'm going to explain the steps of cultivation to you," said my father.
"I'm listening, Father," I said impatiently.
"The first step is to see your energy," said my father.
"Given that you have the highest potential in everything, this probably won't be an issue for you."
"So follow my instructions and apply them."
"The first step is concentration. Focus and feel your surroundings. Since this training ground is filled with extra energy, it will be relatively easy for you," said my father.
I sat cross-legged and focused, trying to feel my surroundings as my father had instructed.
After a while, I felt something glowing even though my eyes were closed. I opened my eyes and saw energies of different colors around me.
I decided to look at my father, which turned out to be the worst thing I could do.
My father was glowing like a rainbow, as if all the energy was bowing to him and flowing towards him.
As I focused more, I saw a different energy emanating from my father.
When I saw this energy clearly, I was horrified because it was a colossal dragon.
A creature of pure chaos seemed to look at me as if it would devour everything.
Sensing my state, my father tapped my forehead with his index finger, snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Get a grip, son. You haven't even drawn energy into your body yet, and you're trying to examine my energy," said my father.
"Now, refocus and let's continue," said my father.
I overcame my fear of the beast inside my father and tried to reach the same state again.
After focusing for a while, I reached the stage of seeing the energy again.
"Now you need to separate those energies," said my father.
"The blue energy you see is mana."
"The white energy is Qi."
"The black one is Aether," said my father.
"Now, draw a small amount of each energy towards yourself. If you focus on them, they will come to you."
"Remember, just a small amount," said my father.
I focused and drew a small amount of each energy as my father had instructed.
"Now, focus on yourself and enter your mind," said my father.
"When you do this, you will see the cultivation techniques granted to you by the universe. Everyone's cultivation technique is different," said my father.
I focused on myself and entered my mind. What greeted me was a book surrounded by two dragons, one black and one white, circling around a purple dragon's eye at its center.
The book was truly thick, probably several thousand pages.
"If you've seen the book, imagine it being in your hands," I heard my father say.
I thought about my father's words and imagined the book in my hands.
The next second, the book appeared in my hands, and I exited my mental space.
My father looked at the book in my hands with a shocked expression.
"What is it, Father? Why are you looking at the book so surprised?" I asked.
"A book shouldn't be that large," said my father.
"Father, first of all, what's written in this book?" I asked.
"This book is a cultivation manual granted by the universe, unique to every Void Dragon and Phoenix. And each one is of the same thickness. There has never been a book with even a single page more, but your book is thicker than three combined," said my father.
His words surprised me, and I lost myself for a moment.
"Well then, let's see what's inside," I said.
As I finished my sentence, I opened the book.
When I opened it, I was confronted with an alphabet I had never seen before.
Don't think I only know one language; because of my mother, I even learned languages with almost no records.
"Father, what language is this?" I asked.
"I can't see what's written in your book. To read it, you need to focus and inject mana into the book," said my father.
"And never forget, other beings cannot read Void Books. If you encounter someone who can read these books, make sure to eliminate them," said my father.
"Suspecting is enough, it doesn't need to be true. If you think someone has read your book, kill them," said my father.
"Understood, Father," I affirmed strictly.
I understood that this book was extremely important because it was a cultivation manual provided by the universe.
[DING! THE CULTIVATION TECHNIQUES GIVEN TO THE HOST BY THE SYSTEM HAVE BEEN COMBINED INTO A SINGLE BOOK, AND THE HOST HAS ACQUIRED THE PRIMORDIAL VOID SUPREME DRAGON CULTIVATION TECHNIQUE.]
I hadn't spoken to the system since I woke up.
'Show me the explanation of the technique,' I thought, and a system panel appeared before me.
[Name: Primordial Void Supreme Dragon Cultivation Technique]
[Description: A transcendental cultivation technique created by two of the four supreme beings living in the primordial void. With this technique, the host will rapidly ascend cultivation levels.]
[Usage Instructions: It is recommended to use it carefully and focused. The slightest distraction can lead to death in the beginning.]
Interesting. I need to read and learn the entire book.
"I'm leaving now, Aldrich. Study your technique thoroughly and learn it," said my father.
"You can cultivate however you like and cause a mess; it's fine," said my father.
"Alright, Father, see you," I said.
Now it's time to fully dedicate myself to cultivation.
I opened the first page of the book and started reading.
On the first page, there was a way for a dragon like me to draw all the energies simultaneously.
It was truly written in a narrative way, and I felt every sentence I read etching itself into my mind.
I opened the second page and read it.
On the second page, it detailed which meridian to pass the energy through and where to gather it.
This technique aimed to combine all the energies in a single point.
Unlike other cultivation techniques, my Qi core and mana circles would be in my soul, not my body.
This technique aimed for absolute defense.
My mana circles would orbit around my soul instead of my heart, and since they were large, it would allow me to have more mana and inscribe more runes on my mana circle.
My Qi core would be at the center of my soul.
My soul would be surrounded by mana circles and nourished by the Qi core.
The core of my soul would be in the brain of my soul.
Over time, with developments, my soul space would become a magnificent place, and I would achieve true invincibility.
Since all my cultivation was focused on my soul, my soul would be incredibly strong, preventing anyone from reaching it.
Let's look at the next page; I'm eager to cultivate.
