Cultivators absorbs the energy of the world to refine a certain aspect of them, such as soul, Essence, spirit, physique or other aspects depending on the path and Dao they follow in cultivation.
The first two great realms of cultivation are usually spent building a foundation for a future cultivation, thus the difference between cultivator on those realms was nearly negligible.
However still, reaching the Nascent Soul realm was still akin to an impossible road for many.
....
As his eyes opened, Allen recognized the familiar ceiling in an instant, " I think I'm getting too used to losing consciousness lately ", drawing a sigh Allen sat on his bed, looking around, a slime figure that was reclining on a chair while reading a book in silence fell in his sight.
As if sensing a gaze she stood up, greeting " Good afternoon prince ".
Frowning Allen looked at Charlotte " Good afternoon?, how long was i sleep this time? ".
" Almost two days, How do you feel ? ", standing beside Allen, the book in Charlotte's hand had disappeared at some point of time.
She continued, " The old physician visited yesterday and inspected your soul... " with a sincere smile Charlotte bowed " This maid offers her sincerest congratulations on the prince's complete recovery".
A bright glint flashed in Allen's eyes, then he closed his eyes and sat to meditate, sending his spiritual sense to throughout his body, inspecting the state of his physical body he noticed a strange energy running through his meridians and veins, his blood exuded a faint golden shimmer, the cells were filled with compressed energy and his cultivation rose dramatically.
While breaking-through to the 1st Order of the Minor Origin realm Allen's couldn't condense his Soul Origin completely due to his soul's injury, with the intervention of Davina who placed a seal on Allen, his breakthrough was stopped until Sebastien retuned and later merged the Eternal Soul Seed with Allen's soul resulting in Allen's soul healing and growing stronger.
The remaining influx of energy from the soul seed after the merger was naturally distributed through Allen's soul, body and dantian, Allen's soul transformed into an Eternal soul.
As Allen's Soul Origin formed it was stronger than others with much to be figured out in the future, his physical body grew stronger and blood was nurtured and strengthened, his foundation grew solider and cultivation rose from the 1st to the 5th Order Minor Origin realm.
While Allen was immersed in meditative state comprehending the changes that happened to him, the rooms door opened as Sebastien entered.
" You surely took your time waking up ", Walking in, Sebastien was carrying a tray filled with plates of food with him, " Oh Charlotte!, haven't seen you in a while ".
" Good afternoon your majesty! " With a bow, Charlotte went to stand on the side.
Handing the tray to Allen, Allen started eating while they both talked about different happenings here and there.
A while later, as the father son pair were talking, suddenly Sebastien's expression turned serious as he looked at Allen " ... All in all, like I said, now that you built a perfect foundation and condensed three origins of perfect purity, now your next step should be to chose a suitable cultivation art to cultivate ".
" Do you happen to have a path that you want to follow on? ", Asking, Sebastien looked at Allen.
Allen had a hesitant look as he replied " I don't really have anything specific, generally I believe martial might is a must however I'm not much interested in the martial path ".
Hearing Allen's reply Sebastien had a smile " You should try your hand in other paths, Formations, Alchemy, Crafts, and Runic arts those are some of the paths you could take, normally cultivators would have a main profession and one or two secondary ones ".
while talking, Sebastien took the chair from the side and placed it beside the bed as he sat down " For example I'm proficient in multiple aspects of the martial path and also have knowledge in Formations, Runes, Crafts, and Alchemy, your mother is proficient different spirit arts and other fields ".
" Umm, what about Elijah? " Allen looked at Sebastien waiting for an answer.
" Oh, Elijah is a .... " just as Sebastien was about to answer, as if remembering something a smile appeared in his face " You will know once you meet him soon ".
Allen had an annoyed look but once he caught on something he heard, Allen's eye's light up " Soon? you mean he is coming soon? ".
" Calm down, in around a year Elijah will return... for now here is a lightning cultivation art and a spirit cultivation art, you should take a look on those two, they are low level cultivation arts created based on my and Davi's cultivation arts " Handing the two books to Allen.
Sebastien retrieved two crystal bottles from his spatial ring " These two bottles each has the a drop of blood essence, one from me and the other from your mother, you could try absorbing them to strengthen your bloodline, however remember, in the Origin Great realm you are inly allowed to assimilate one of them, you can only absorb the other one once you fully assimilate the previous one ".
Originally Allen was born with a powerful bloodline ,however as Allen inherited both Sebastien's and Davina's bloodlines the clash between the two almost took his life at the time, therefore his bloodline was removed and he was left with only a diluted trace of the bloodline.
In the breakthrough from each realm the body of a cultivator transforms as they get tempered and nurtured by the energy of the world and subsequently grow stronger, after achieving the Minor Origin realm and condensing the Blood origins cultivators gain the ability to gain strengthen their bloodlines and depending on their bloodlines levels they might be able to activate it.
" For now you should read more and expand your horizons, the more you know the more paths are opened for you " after talking for a while Sebastien left the room leaving Allen to rest.
.....
Time passed, 2 weeks later, Allen had fully recovered while his cultivation progressed to the early stage of the 6th Order Minor Origin realm.
it was afternoon already, the weather was slightly cold, In the back of the Aeon's mansion, some distance in the forest behind the training field within the mountainous area surrounding the Aeon mansion, a bolt of lightning moved in a high speed between the massive trees from time to time a thin white lightning bolt would strike the trunk of a tree, leaving a shard burned mark behind.
Energy circled through Allen's body inducing a crackling sound from his body, as Allen's aura started rising and condensing, his speed increased as lightning flashed in his eyes, lightning snakes crackled around Allen's body, erasing any misfortunate insects that couldn't escape from 1 meter diameter around him.
Suddenly the lightning in Allen's eyes got replaced with a silver glow, as a transformation happened to his eyes, Allen's silvery-gray pupils turned black like a stary sky, within a specially bright celestial body appeared like a monarch of celestials.
Allen's Aura rose from the 6th Order to the 7th Order, as the lightning got replaced by a silvery thick mist covering his body, Allen's speed increased, as he moved towards a massive old oak tree.
Suddenly taking a step Allen's left foot rested foreword as he cantered his weight to the backwards, swinging his fist to the back as if preparing to throw a Javelin, Allen's fist moved in a blur, the sound of the air being cut resounded.
BOOM!, the tree shock violently as it started tilting to the side, a hole was blasted open in the midst of the tree's trunk as it slowly fell down causing a massive commotion.
Above in a nearby tree a shadowy figure removed its gaze from the whole blasted on the tree and looked at Allen, Suddenly the figure jumped from the high tree and landed silently behind Allen, no sound, wind or even the slightest aura was released, slowly that figure stretched its hand towards Allen's neck?!.
Suddenly Allen felt chills all-over, his body froze, at some point, a hand was on his shoulder, Allen flinched in a scare, even with his senses heightened he didn't feel anything until the point of contact.
" Young prince, its time to take a break " Charlotte's charming voice resounded in Allen's ears softly.
Jumping away, Allen had a displeased look " Damn it! Charlotte, just wait i will definitely ask for a change of maids ".
" Hehe, young prince, until you are 18, your maids are decided by her majesty, so... good luck getting another one " charlotte's giggling voice resounded in Allen's ears.
....
Period of time later, a servant opened the Aeon family private car's door for Allen to enter, following him was charlotte and another middle-aged man.
Looking at Charlotte setting beside him in a black uniform, Allen's eyes fell on the short sword she carried in her hands, he couldn't help but ask " Charl, do we really need a guard to follow us?, and what's with the your carrying your sword out like this!, hide it won't you! ".
Frustrated Allen kept talking " I'm merely going to receive an item from the Golden Earl family, I don't think anyone would dare to attack me !".
Looking at Allen grumbling Charlotte smiled " Last time you left alone, you were involved in a fight and hurt yourself, I don't think you have enough credibility to your promises for the time being ".
With a disgruntled tone Allen replied " I didn't... ".
