# Congratulations, Summoner, not only did you break through to the Mortal King Stage, thus awakening your Battle Spirit, you simultaneously managed to awaken your Emperor Spirit. As if that wasn't enough, you also helped your wife and concubine to achieve the same feat! Do you prefer seeing the rewards listed out individually, or simply put together? #
Keiren found himself back in the Eternal Realm, yet it wasn't the same as last time. Only his consciousness had been dragged over, while his body remained on the outside.
Without any corporeal restraints, he was able to feel the vague signals from earlier much clearer. Keiren could also perceive how Rajansam Resemen brutally massacred his Mortal Realm Eternal Einherjar, whenever they set foot onto the training field, partially sharing the enjoyment their doom brought the Demon-Asura.
"You dare call yourself Eternal Einherjar with this measly ability?" Rejansam bellowed. "His Majesty instructed me to train THE BEST army in all realms. Stop dying within seconds, drag your sorry asses over and fight me again. If you wish to rest, defeat me first!!!"
It wasn't much of a taunt coming from a 4th Layer Eternal Immortal Demon-Asura. Every Eternal Einherjar knew that the Eternal Emperor had no place for the weak. Ignoring the futility of their actions, as it was no different from an army of ants trying to kill an elephant, everyone attacked him the moment they respawned.
For a while, Keiren watched how his Eternal Einherjar swarmed Rajansam only to get mercilessly sliced into pieces by their commander. Rajansam was overflowing with joy and excitement, watching these men fight with such fierce bravery and unyielding determination.
'They don't really seem to stand a chance. Should I teach them our family's martial arts? Father always boasted about how ancient and strong it was, and on Earth the true Masters were basically superhuman, able to punch through solid steel walls, and even able to live longer than a common man. It might not do much in this cultivation world, but at least in the Mortal Realm it should prove somewhat useful. System, can you form a manual out of my memories and teach it to my Eternal Einherjar and my Knights?'
# Certainly, Summoner.
Handing out knowledge about the old way…
Imprinting…
Updating Eternal Einherjar
Updating Knights. #
Keiren smiled. "I wish you luck, strength, speed and endurance, my Eternal Einherjar. My blessings are with you!"
—
The Knights stood in front of Eternal Valhalla. They heard fighting noise and yelling voices.
They followed the noise to see a 5-Meter tall Demon-Asura slaughtering the Eternal Einherjar.
Suddenly they all froze for a second and the knowledge of the Old Way Martial Arts was imprinted into their minds. At the same time, it began to rain purple light.
A second later, the purple light dropped on the Knights and the Eternal Einherjar. Every Einherjar that got hit vanished as if he never existed in the first place. While every Knight that got hit by the purple light manifested wings of purple lightning. They also got injected with knowledge of the Old Way Martial Arts.
A few minutes later, 500 Eternal Einherjar appeared. They were all kneeling before Rajansam Resemen.
The difference from the past and the present was that every Eternal Einherjar magically advanced to the Immortal Stage. Every last one of them grew white wings on their backs that emitted a Divine Aura and sizzled with Thunderfire. No matter the Race.
The Knights looked star struck.
"ALL HAIL THE ETERNAL EMPEROR!!!" The shout echoed through the ranks of the Eternal Einherjar, multiple times.
After Rajansam mustered his own troop silently, his gaze flew over to the knights that stood at the entrance to the training field and said: "The Emperor informed me to teach you. You are still alive and we will keep you that way no matter what. I will train and teach you. You are the Eternal Knights from now on, understand. It is obvious that you will never reach the proficiency and skill of the True Eternal Einherjar, at least not in your lifetime." Rajansam laughed.
"Enough talking, time to teach you! 5 Eternal Einherjar per Knight I want them educated on everything they need to know! I want them to be able to whoop your ass 1vs5! But if you dare to lose to a Mortal King Stage cultivator, I will smash your head 10,000 times against a rock! START!!!" Rajansam Resemen yelled and everyone moved. Every Knight got the attention of five Immortal Eternal Einherjar.
The lesson was about martial arts (the old way), the Divine Element, the Lightning Element, the Wind Element, and the elemental Thunderfire. In no time at all the Knights got accustomed to fighting like that, and serious training began as the Eternal Einherjar trained the Eternal Knights.
One could see the Knights Improving at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Keiren looked at the scene and smiled. He listened in on the explanations and learned a lot about the Elements and even realized new insights about the Old way Martial Arts. After a while he spoke in his mind, 'OK, System, show me all the Milestone Rewards I've reached.'
# Congratulations, you've achieved the following milestones:
Reach the Mortal King Stage,
Reach the Mortal King Stage before any of your Generals (Hidden milestone)

# !WARNING! The Qualification Realm is only open to you for one week. If you don't finish it during this time, you will lose access to it permanently! #
Keiren was overwhelmed with the System notifications. He looked through them one by one and it was clear to him that he needed to build his City ASAP. What bugged him a little was that he now had something else that needed to be done first, namely the Qualification Realm.
'System, what is the Qualification Realm?'
# It is a semi-mandatory Quest which will teleport you to another realm or world to test your capabilities as this generation's potential Eternal Emperor.
#Error# Missing information access.
Your mission will depend on the circumstances that you will find yourself in. You should not take this trial lightly and prepare as seriously as possible. #
Additional Note: Due to the fact that you have already amassed a sizeable group of subordinates, the Summoning Shop will be closed until the Qualification Realm has been successfully cleared #
'What sizeable group of subordinates? I have 630 Subordinates and this already includes Galatris and Shyla'
# Summoner, please be aware that not everyone who has to enter the Qualification Realm is lucky enough to be allowed to bring in any subordinates at all. Besides, how many subordinates would you say is a sizeable group? A thousand? A hundred thousand? A million?#
Keiren was speechless for a second before he decided to ignore the System and continue to listen in on the Eternal Einherjar teaching his Knights. The insights about the Elemental Thunderfire were very useful for him.
What was Thunderfire? First one had to know that there were two sorts of Thunderfire. Elemental Thunderfire and Artificial Thunderfire. The latter was the highest possible fusion of the Elements Lightning, Fire and Wind.
Meanwhile, Elemental Thunderfire was the purest form of the Fire Element. At the same time, it was also the highest possible form of the Lightning Element.
Which brings us to the question of why fire and lightning are 2 different Elements when the Elemental Thunderfire is their highest form of purity, but that would be a story for another time…
