Reading through the many different kinds of cultivation I figured I'd just go with all of them wrapped up in one. There was cultivation for the soul, the body, the mind, elemental cultivation. In this little manual held the basics to do it all together at once. No super powered bullshit needing quadruple the energy for the same level but your super strong at your level. No it was just even everything. The solidest foundations available. No strengths but no weaknesses.
I can only drool while thinking what would happen if I cultivated this to extreme levels.
I kept eagerly reading the book. It talked about internal cultivation world's, Nascent souls, elemental bodies. I was curious about how all of those would work for me. Could I have multiple world's in my soul? A whole universe? As for the nascent souls it was basically another soul used incase I died I could escape as a soul. I was going to get one of those. Elemental bodies were like clones you mastered an element and got an elemental body. Just tons of things that piqued my interest.
On to the root system. There were two reasons it was called a root. The first was it basically ran through your entire body like a root system. Your basic meridians for cultivation.
The second reason. I closed my eyes and just like going to my internal world spiritually I appeared in a different area of my soul.
It was basically empty space except for a few items floating there. My grimoire was just floating around changing colors. There were a few lines floating off in different directions. One was to Sasha and the other was to the spatial ring i just bound and the last was to my chain which was curled up on my body outside.
I couldn't locate my internal world. It was probably hidden for a reason.
The last little object was a small brown shriveled root. This little root would grow into a strange cultivation tree and be planted on top of my new cultivation internal world. You can never have too many internal worlds. When this tree grew up it would produce Laws based on elements or other mysterious things such as death or life or even time. They would be in the form of fruits on the tree and as my understanding of the laws grew, so would the fruit. When my understanding of a law reached a certain level the fruit would drop off of the tree to the ground. From the fruit a body made up of elemental energy or the laws of the universe would form giving me something like a clone.
But before all that amazing stuff you have to have your world built. Right now it was just a thought, a spiritual thing without touch or real existence.
I remembered what I was supposed to do from the guide and my body outside started to absorb the profound energy like a sponge in the outside world.
My body on the outside didn't look like it was changing at all. But it was a completely different story for my soul and internal world.
The root in front of me started to emit a massive suction force as billions of small multicolored lights were attracted to it.
I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked back to see Cassie and Sasha smiling at me and watching the small root.
The multitude of lights started to either get absorbed by the root or cover it in a small earth looking case. It started to slowly spin and absorb and collect faster and faster.
It grew from the size of a fist, to a basketball, to a beachball and it kept going in the matter of minutes.
On the outside world waves of profound energy were being sucked towards me and absorbed at crazy speeds. Startling everyone in the area by the massive pull of energy.
What I didn't know was that out of all the cultivation manuals in existence. I had the only truly complete one. The perfect manual. No guessing what to do or having to fill in blanks to make a manual actually successful. No thrown together hints to form some stupid named technique that only works for a single person or element. It was simple perfect basics.
At this point my roots earth shell was the size of a mountain and still growing.
"Is it supposed to grow this fast?" I ask Cassie.
"Well for other people no. It's supposed to take months atleast." she tells me.
"Oh well why is mine going so fast?" I ask again.
"Well when you use a proper manual this is bound to happen. Not to mention your stealing all the profound energy for miles and causing a huge commotion." she points out.
"Hmm that's probably bad." I sigh out. "Ah well, too late now right? Fuckem energy is free I'll take what I want."
The outside world was indeed going through a commotion. People thought some kind of heavenly treasure was being born or something and were rushing around trying to locate it. But it was made difficult by all the swirling profound energy.
The building of the earth around my root was basically the starter foundation building stages. It would strengthen my body, organs, blood, bones, muscles, everything.
Now this would be fantastic if I wasn't already suffering from being too strong already. This would also lead to the mass destruction of my shoes and new house and multiple trips into walls or the sky by accident.
It just goes to show that too much of a good thing can indeed be a bad thing.
It would take days of suffering at my own hands until Cassie would mention a strength sealing necklace that helps with problems like this and it used to slowly get used to massive power increases.
With a bitter look at her I would buy myself a nice new sealing necklace from the shop and stop worrying about ripping the doors of hinges when I entered a room or crushing door knobs.
