Sitting in a courtyard of a small 16 room palace....yes, like real palace. He even had servants. Damien like to call them attendants. Being a black guy from America, having servant would be just plain evil on his parts. So he hardly asked them to do anything for him and he paid all 6 of them a monthly salary of spirit stones. Now they were no longer servants. That made Damien feel more at ease. In this world, essentially the weak were treated worse than beast here. His ser-attendants are actually low ranked body cultivators! Even being a weak cultivators wouldn't garner you any respect but would increase your bullying.
Damien could see that psychology this would manifest itself into a very violent culture. So far Damien, knew he had been lucky. Even still hes are had to kill a man. Not to mention the sect masters son and the idiot sh*t stain.
Damien accepted the sects 'honorary Elder' title. I essentially granted access to multiple levels of the library. Damien also has access to furnaces and dings to use for crafting. Damein needed to figure out how to make a spirit flame before anything else.
Currently, I am stuck only being able to fight at this level. I have no way of know if I'm being spied on so I can't use magic yet. I could easily create a training environment and absorb spirit stones. Yet, now I'm not sure how powerful the sect is. I do know the palace can send 5 nearly mid rank level 30 cultivators. Losing one and injuring 4 others could not be an easy loss for the prince. Damien was now glad he didn't kill them all. The four cultivators will take a long while to heal.
So, Damien had to find a cultivation technique that was strong enough for the immortal realm or higher. Damien went to the library to used his absorption magic on the reading material. If Damien divine powers hadn't traveled with him, he would be in a world of trouble. The system has pretty much frozen but it still has the power of a whole universe. Yet I'll have to personally operate my system. No matter how powerful Damiens mind currently is it's still at a snail's pace compared to System. Damien didn't use it for now to avoid the headache and to shave DP. Damien earned follower but the mome not he went too far from his mana mountain the DP is currently not increasing in his status bar.
Damien would need to use what he has to get stronger. Luckily Damien is a demi-and an immortal at the same time. Who's ever heard of this insane strength here. Damien channeled all of his mental abilities with both powers. The results was a storm of information from millions of books and going directly into Damiens brain. At first it was no issues but minutes later the information that bombed his mind increase by thousands of times.
"AARRRGA!!" Pain wracked Damien mind, body, and soul. They all felt like they were all under attack!
Damien was too ignorant of this world. There were spirits of all kinds even in books! It was too late before Damien realize this. All kinds of spirits were absorbed into Damiens body. They were turned into energy and forcibly opened spiritual and hidden meridians. Then the massive absorption forcibly expanded the meridians in his body. Damien ignored if anyone was watching and with his his last inkling of consciousness instantly he portaled himself back to his mountain and screamed for long minutes that seemed like hours before passing out.
Coming to, Damien's head had a faint throb so he subconsciously grabbed it. He was covered in blood and black smelly liquid. Smelly was an understatement, the liquid was completely horrible! Damine quickly wretched until he was completely away from the puddle of black liquid. He still felt very weak and even the divine powers weren't helping him to recover fast enough. Struggling the whole way Damien crawled into a river. Damien home in the sect could house tens of thousands of people. The space the sect granted him was absolutely massive.
After crawling into the bitter cold but calming waters, Damien began to recover. His ailments began to lessen and he slowly began to stabilize.
He immediately sat down to meditate. He went back over what had happened in his mind. In doing so he realized his mind acupoint had opened up in his forehead. Its capacity to maintain a sects worth of information in it. My processing mental abilities feel even more powerful.
As Damien continued to meditate, he noticed that many meridians had forcible opened up on their own after the bombardment of energy. Yet Damien noticed this particular energy is spirit in the books. The are the intent left behind by millions of years worth of cultivators. These spirits were not kind spirits and many were very powerful. Some much highter than the immortal rank. If I hadn't had godly powers already I would have lost my body and soul to these malicious spirits waiting for a chance for a cultivator to foolishly have their bodies taken.
Damien ended up instead absorbing the spirits and their memories and abilities. Due to pretty much being practically a god in mind and body but my soul should have been affected. Why was it not?
By using the memories Damien had access Transcendent level and above lost ancient pill recipies, forging techniques, cultivation skills and techniques, plants, trees herbs, spirit beasts. Some of the information was even from actual Ascension immortals. Right now based on what he knows. Much of this information was lost or unable to be comprehended.
For example, the laws of this world, Dao laws. The resistance Damien feels is the universal laws for this plane. Unlike Damiens universe the average human can gain god like abilities and powers. Yet gods here can be killed because of this. So, there for one would strive for power eternally. Are there existences more powerful than the one in Damiens universe? At the very least here in this plane, Damien can get strong enough to kicked the god that started all of this straight in the balls. And here he won't even know that I've gotten so strong. Damien just has to stick to the plan and try to increase his divine powers. His immortal body is actually still one of a human. It's just a god like existence compared to a human on.
Right now the divine power is actually powers of a god. They can create life on a small scale, nearly create things out of matter but definitely alter what is already there. Luckily Damien hadn't tried to make any alterations to this universe laws. Damien felt like the powers in this universe could destroy him in a moment. All the way down to your soul. Damien heart rate rose and sweat filled his back when he thought of it. Then something suddenly calmed him like a cold comfort. He took a deep breath and focused himself. He focused on what he was able to handle.
Damien knew he was on the brink of going to a place of no return. He never forgot why hes here and who he left behind. He simply couldn't bear to think about it. He had to focus on something else or he was liable to go off of the deep end. So much has be forcibly taken from him!
He put his mind back on his body. He focused on a forming a soul space. Damien hadn't learned much and his immortal foundation was terrible. He hadn't formed a soul space or a soul flame. After absorbing all of the spirit memories and with godly comprehension Damien fired out the concept of both within days. Damien's soul space was the planet earth a barren planet with only a large brown 2 story home inside. The souls space isnt very important. What's important is that objects can be brought into it. The souls space shouldn't be tangible. It's used for illusions and soul attacks to weaken the enemy in combat.
Soul flame can make the intangible seem tangible. Soul flame burns away body and soul. Burn is used loosely. Soul flame can be made up of any kind of power. The soul flame is simply the name derived from using it for alchemy when making pill concoctions. Or fusing or creating items. The soul space is usually made up of the elements or abilities that the cultivators specializes in.
Damien was sure his soul space and soul flame would be nothing that this universe has seen before. Damien fused his divine power, his aether and spirit power from his grey core into the soul space. In his hands he had two floating balls of grey flames and he smiled with a glint in his eye.
His cultivation had risen by server fold. The meridians in his body had opened acupoints for the five elements, void energy, darkness, his mind, and a strange hidden acupoint in the sternum for grey matter energy Damien assumed. This one he had no information on. His meridians were as wide as a dragon and could easily absorb the energy around him.
His immortal body continued to strengthen itself He remained in cultivation to stabilized his new power. So days, then turned to months which turned into 2 years. Damien spent that time stabilizing his immortal body. Of course he realized he wasn't being watched and used a dimension cube to train. One day is a half a year in the smaller dimension cube Damien possessed. In the outside worked 3 years had passed while Damien stabilized his foundation. In the mean time, several events began unfolding around the sect during this time.
