Chapter 3 - Chapter 003 : Cultivation

The sun's brilliance sneaked through the window's glasses and dazzled the dark room, while a young man was soundly sleeping, the room's door opened quietly, followed by deft steps as a slim figure entered.

Placing the bags she was carrying on the side soundlessly, she took out a small glass bottle filled with small crystalline round glowing balls and spread them around a small gray egg inside a glass cage.

Light whisps of energy radiated from the crystal balls like dancing snakes and moved slowly towards the egg, moments later, the gray stone like egg started shimmering with a crystalline glow.

As their energy was being absorbed the crystal balls dimmed continuously; Humming a song with a smile, the figure silently closed the transparent glass cage where the gray egg was.

As if feeling someone around, the young man sleeping, opened his eyes, Al noticed the familiar ceiling of his room, sitting on the bed, his gaze fell the figure tidying his desk.

Al swept his gaze through the room as it fell on the glass cage, where the gray egg gifted to him by his father was, he didn't know what egg it was, and neither of his parents was willing to tell him.

Back to his senses, Feeling his body, Al felt a mysterious energy flowing through his body, his skin felt smoother, and his muscles felt more refined and stronger.

" Good Morning " the maid bowed in greetings, looking at her, Al replied with a greeting and a question from his side" Morning Charlotte, It seems that I passed out? how long was it? ".

It didn't take him long to put 1 and 1 together, and thus what he asked,

" Young lord, you slept for two days " Charlotte replied.

With a hum of acknowledgment he asked " did anything happen? ",

" Other than Lord Sebastien leaving to the outside for an urgent matter, nothing much had happened!, for the last two day, your friend lady Seraphina had been staying over and training with the guards of the mansion, additionally his lordship had left a clone and asked that you meet him once you are up and walking!...",

" is That's all ? " Al asked when he saw Charlotte stopping,

Charlotte chock her head gently, " Yesterday old Physician came to visit, after inspecting your condition he advised not exert your self in any of the three concepts of Energy, soul and body, according to him the recent awakening might have absorbed too much energy from your soul that it was overloaded, causing deterioration of your soul strength, if not cared for this might cause an injury. "

...

A while later, Al was out of the shower, having a meal while enjoying the view from his window when suddenly came the sound of door being knocked,

"Get in" he said,

Hearing a reply from the room, the door opened as Charlotte entered " his Lordship is in waiting in the main office " she said!

Moments later standing Infront of the door, knocking, was Allan, in a moment the door opened, inside the office three figures could be seen.

a middle-aged man in military suite stood in attention, the old undying butler Quinn and lastly the clone of the head of the Aeon family and the Emperor of the Celestial Dao Empire, Sebastien Aeon.

Of the many people in the mansion, probably only Davina, Al , Charlotte, Quinn and two others knew that the man setting there was a mere clone. although its actions and words all conveyed the intent of the original.

Sebastien was setting in his desk, surrounded with a pile of papers, he had shoulder length black hair tied loosely to the back, wearing his royal suite, he naturally exuded Power and Authority, his expression was neutral, no one could guess what he was thinking.

Closing the documents in his hands, a smile spread in his face " Al, How do you feel? " Sebastien asked while waving for the duo in the room to get out.

Standing up, he pulled the window's curtains and opened the window, causing a breeze to sweep inside the office imbuing the solemn atmosphere with a hint of life and ease.

Sebastien moved near Al , stretched his hand and tousled Al's hair, messing it up, annoyed Al waved his hand removing Sebastien's hand.

However the man just smiled, he sat on the couch while signalling to Al to set down as well, suddenly the serious air returned to his face, looking at Al with a deep gaze that seemed like it could see through his soul " Do you know why I called you here? ".

A list of the things that he shouldn't had done yet he did appeared in Al 's head, Hesitantly he said " I'm sure i kept my training..." Al retracted his nick, while thinking " What's with the face? did i do something wrong recently? ".

on the other hand, Sebastien still had a his neutral expression on, however what ran unnoticed for Al was a trace of a smile that appeared for a moment " I'm talking about what happened three days ago! ".

" Oh, ahhh... Charlotte said the old physician said its some kind of physique and i should not overexert yourself! " Al said,

" What about you cultivation? " Sebastien asked,

It was then that Al noticed, immediately he closed his eyes and sent his senses to inspect his dantian and body, moments later he replied in shock,

" My cultivation base increased by 4 stages, also there is a strange power spread through my body from my dantian, from my estimation i can promote my cultivation by another stage if i used tht energy. ".

Sebastien thought for a moment then asked " How is your foundation? ".

Al's eye turned pensive " I'm slightly worried about that in reality, the quick rise left my foundation a little shaky..... " Al stopped talking for a moment then he continued with hesitant toon,

" I just noticed cracks in my Nascent Soul's projection, I'm sure they did not exist before! "

After a moment Sebastien you don't need to worry about that one! for now follow the old physician's advice and do not exert yourself, .... now! about your future cultivation! ".

=======

With the snap of a finger, the world in the eyes of Al changed, from the office they were to a boundless white space, two figures floating with that space as a voice resounded " this is a mental world, i brought you here to explain few things to you ", Al looked flabbergasted by Sebastien's abilities.

Looking at Al , Sebastien waved his hand as mist condensed into the shape of a human " Cultivation is the process of Refinement of the world's energy, as cultivators we Refine spiritual energy and utilise it for our use..." as Sebastien kept explaining the figure condensed from mist started moving.

There are four widely known systems of cultivation, each includes nine great realms, each realm is composed of nine minor realms with each minor realm being called an Order, after the 9th order usually the next step is to breakthrough towards the next major realm.

The Nascent soul realm was the third and last major realm of the Foundation Establishment great realm, preceded by the Body Refinement ream followed by the Core Formation realm and ended by the Nascent soul realm

As it is named, the Foundation Establishment realm is the first chance for cultivators to build their foundation for all their future cultivations, the stronger the foundation the far a cultivator could go in the road of cultivation.

Following the Foundation Establishment great realm is the Origin Transformation great realm where cultivators condense their origins, once cultivators breakthrough to the Origin great realm they gain the ability to use elemental energies and utilise the various concepts.

After refining the origin and transforming, a cultivator breaks-though to the Innate Great Realm as they transform to an Innate being with the ability to comprehend the Dao and use intents.

Looking at Al's with a solemn gaze " you current soul can not afford to break-through to a higher great realm, for now your limits is the 9th Order of the Nascent soul realm, once your are there you can fortify you cultivation base work to achieve a solider foundation ".

Nodding in understanding, Al's replied seriously " Understood ".

" All right, Stop sending Charlotte to do minor tasks that anyone else could do, she might be your personal maid, but her skills are much higher than you think! ".
