After finishing his training on the nearby mountains, Seijou steadied his breathing as he sat on a large rock beside a lake.
Not many know the location of this place inside the deep forest on the mountains. Because of Seijou's frequent training here, he stumbled upon this beautiful lake. After that, he came here everyday after doing his training. Not only was the atmosphere here calm and peaceful, you can also take a bath without worrying that you might stumble upon someone.
Seijou reached under his bag and took out the book that his master gave him. While taking the book out, his face couldn't stop twitching the whole time.
Seijou opened the book with one hand while the other one was holding the book.
"Awakening Realm is the first step on becoming a true and peerless cultivator on this vast land. People treat it as a big deal that their life as a cultivator has begun. But what they did not know was that, this is nothing. In other words, this is level 0. This is the realm that you can do as you wish without risking anything."
"You do not need to enter and break through the 9 levels on this realm as it is meaningless and a waste of time. By doing the following cultivation technique, I can guarantee you that you can be at the Earth Realm within 6 monts. But it also depends on your ability, if you are a genius, you can break through within a short amount of time."
"You can now also cast skills without draining too much of your qi."
Seijou read the book and without knowing it, the rage in his heart dissipated entirely as his face was full of admiration and respect for the author of the book.
"Start by meditating...you need to be fully calm so that your state of mind won't be affected. Focus on the qi on your surroundings and try to absorb it.....let the qi get inside you and start leading them to your dantian....."
"I never knew that it could be done this way." Seijou praiser the book as he circulated his qi as the book said.
.....
After an unknown period of time, Seijou gradually opened his eyes and a wide smile was on his face, his excitement couldn't be contained.
"I did it! I broke through just like that?" Seijou closed his eyes and focused on his dantian and was shocked to see that there was a pond with spiritual qi in there.
"I guess the I need to fill the pond with my spiritual qi. But it's only like a few drops in there! It's not even close." He thought to himself as he carefully examined it.
Seijou now only looked at his surroundings and was surprised that it was already night time. Being in these areas during the night can be dangerous due to wild beasts.
"Sh*t, I need to hurry back." Seijou put the book back in his bag, as he stood up. He then proceeded to make his way back in the dark. He almost already knew the entire forest's ways and shortcuts. So he can make his way back with his eyes closed.
....
Meanwhile..
All the powerful figures and elders of the Golden Valley Sect with the clan leader was currently sitting inside the Golden Pavilion.
This Golden Pavilion was one of the signs on how wealthy and powerful the Golden Valley Sect was. The entire exterior was painted in gold with some complex patterns and beautiful designs was on it. It was a tall and huge pavilion with guards surrounding it.
"I believe that we are all here?" A sturdy looking old man with a scary scar on his eye asked towards the group of peole sitting below him.
"Yes clan chief." Everyone said in a timely fashion while they bowed respectfully. "
"How are the preparations on the upcoming tournament on recruiting disciples? I believe the 8 elders already had something planned in mind." The clan chief asked calmly with a hint of superiority leaking from his aura.
The Golden Valley Sect held a tournament every 3 years with hopes of grooming geniuses. This tournament exists to recruit geniuses. The tournament consists of just two: The Outer Disciple Tournament and Law rankings tournament.
The outer disciple tournament was a chance for people to be a disciple of the Golden Valley sect and cultivate here.
The law rank is where 100 of the names of the strongest individual who was a disciple of the sect was written there. The law rank signifies strength and respect. People whose name was here also gained special benefits from the sect. Someone was even given the chance to be the disciple of the clan chief.
"Clan chief, The 8 elders of the 8 great pavilions will be watching this tournament. We will also prevent harm from happening." The representative of the 8 elders said respectfully.
"The significance of this event is immense and I hope no one would cause trouble. Dismissed, now go and announce the date of the tournament which will be 3 months from now." The clan chief said as he disappeared.

After running for almost an hour, Seijou finally made it back on the front of their house.
His shirt was drenched in sweat as he panted from exhaustion. He then proceeded to sit down cross-legged on the courtyard as he tried to absorb spiritual qi on his surroundings, gradually repleneshing his energy.
As his energy was now replenished, he carefully opened the door on their house as he got in.
"Seijou? Why are you home so late?" A sweet female voice was heard on the kitchen as she looked at Seijou with a smile.
"Mom, I went to train." Seijou answered while laughing wryly.
"You trained until late at night?! Tell me you peeked at the girl's bathroom again!" An angry shout was heard from the kitchen as a figure abruptly went in front of Seijou.
Seeing his father, Seijou only thought of one word, "Sh*t." He cursed on his mind as he tried to run to his bed but to no avail. His father's aura was enough to crush him.
"Father.....I..I-..I really went to train." Seijou muttered while suppresing the fear in his heart.
"Train my ass~~~eh?" Just as his father was about to hit him, he noticed Seijou's aura and the faint turbulence of qi leaking out of him.
Seijou squinted his eyes and saw that his father didn't hit him, instead looking at him with a confused expression.
"I told you I trained.... didn't I? Hahahha!" Seijou laughed at his father as he punched his chest with a proud look.
"Punch me with your full brute strength." Seijou's father said to him seriously causing he and his mother who was already beside them to be caught off-guard.
"Father? Are you sure?" Seijou as his father with a weird expression.
"You brat! If I said so..then I am serious about it."
"Here I go then." Seijou said as he calmed his nerves and the spiritual qi was now focused on his right hand.
Swoosh.
Seijou punched his father's body with an incredible strength and speed which caused ripples in the air.
Boom!
A muffled sound of something exploded was heard on the room as his father's robe was flipped by the wind.
