After returning from outside after eating in 'SOLACE', I met my mother after she finished her business with Aunt Sylvia, we said goodbye to them, and then my mother took her flying artifact and we returned to the dragon realm.
"What are you going to do now Kevin?" asked my mother when we arrived in front of the palace.
"Can I now be back to cultivating?" I asked since she told me to stop for a while and it has been less than a week since then.
"Sure, you can go but remember to take rests after you breakthrough each small realm."
"Okay, see you soon mother."
As I was moving toward the direction of my cultivation room, I heard a sound that I haven't heard since the beginning of my fourth life.
DINING
Then a small transparent screen that only he can see appeared before him.
[A new Quest has been added to the Quests tap]
"Huh? it has been a while since the system said anything," said Kevin with a frown.
[You should check the quest, the reward is important for you Host] said the System to Kevin as he was thinking of ignoring it for a while.
"Sure".
After that Kevin willed with his mind to open the quest tap, and a screen appeared before his eyes.
[Quest:1
Difficulty: Easy
Content: Breakthrough to Body Strengthening Realm First Realm
Time limit: 5 days
Reward(s): Freedom cultivation manual{Unknown Grade} ]
"Huh, what is with this strange cultivation manual, System?" asked Kevin with a raised eyebrow.
"And it is also an unknown grade," Kevin added in a curious tone, since even the system can't evaluate it's rank so it was a first for him.
[You should just complete the Quest first Host and see the reward for yourself]
"Yeah, I know but I thought it would take a few years before the system started giving new missions, also the cultivation manual that mother gave me is good, it focused on darkness and fire elements and combing them together, I wonder if this Freedom manual will be better"
[Just stop wasting time Host]
"Sure, sure, why not? I was going to breakthrough anyway soon so getting something out of it won't make me suffer any loss."
After arriving at where he usually cultivates he enters inside and then closed the door so no one would come and disturb him, after sitting down he begins focusing on gathering the energy in the atmosphere to fill his dantian so he can break through.
After staying like that for 3 days, he finally broke through from Gin gathering realm to body strengthening realm first realm which consist of three semi-small realms of flesh training, where he will have to train his body with a set of specific movements according to the manual while imbuing Gin in his flesh to strengthen it until he breaks through to the next small realm.
As he was stabilizing his energy, he heard the system sound in his head,
DINING
Then a screen appeared before him.
[Quest Completed]
[Please check your rewards]
"Sure" murmured the excited Kevin as he was very curious to see the new manual that the system would give him, since the system never gave him anything bad.
[Say 'Receive Reward' Host in your mind since it won't be in the inventory]
"Receive Reward"
[Order accepted]
"Ughh," I had a splitting headache as a lot of memories and information appeared in my mind about 'Freedom cultivation manual', it took me 10 minutes to absorb all this information and arrange them in an easy-to-understand manner.
After looking at all the information he got, he learned that the cultivation manual is divided into four levels, the first level was to used to cultivate so one can reach peak mortality by cultivating some strange type of energy that its name was shrouded in a veil in his mind for some reason, there were also movement techniques, and very strange and complicated martial arts that help cultivate the body by strengthening the body while moving the new energy that the body will start producing by reaching core formation realm even after breaking through Body Strengthening Realm.
After reaching the core formation realm, according to the manual, the body will form two cores instead of one core, one core in the dantian and the other in the heart, as how much that will make him against his peers on the same cultivation level, only the future will tell when he ventures outside, as I continued reading and understanding the cultivation method of the manual I began to sense that it contains more profundity than the Dragon Domination manual that mother gave to me.
As for the other three levels of the cultivation techniques the system will give them when I reach peak the Mortal Realm.
As he started looking at the set of martial skills that was attached to the cultivation manual, he found that they are the combination of a lot of different sets of moves with different stances that by practising them now will help strengthen his bones as it will help make the energy flows through them all the time until they reached the peak of their capacity but of course will cause more pain.
The martial skills are divided into three different sets: the first is made for killing by focusing on the vital parts of the body with destructive and swift movements, the second focused on incapacitating the enemy without hurting them with a focus on some specific points on the body that will enable him to do it, as the last one it is focused on speed and silence made for perfecting assassination killing blows without leaving any traces behind.
As I started analysing the martial arts set that I will start learning soon, I heard the system voice in my head again,
DINING
And then a screen appeared in front of me.
[A New Quest has been generated]
[Please check the Quests tap]
After unlocking the quest tap with my mind a new screen appeared in front of me.
[Quest:2
Difficulty: Easy
Content: Breakthrough to peak Body Strengthening Realm by using the new cultivation method provided by the system, The Freedom Cultivation Manual
Time limit: 4 years and half
Reward(s): Unknown]
After reading the quest I was left speechless for a few seconds and couldn't help be ask the System about the unknown reward and difficulty of the mission.
"Why is the system giving me easy missions? This didn't happen in the past" asked Kevin in confusion.
[Host, the system will help you in this life to become the strongest by helping you build the strongest foundation]
"Well, You can't expect me to start believing in the system now," I asked with some anger whenever I remember all the nonsensical stuff I did in the past I feel like I will explode right here and there.
[Host, all the missions the system gave you in the past, all had a purpose to achieve, so nothing was in vain, you will understand in the future] said the system emotionlessly.
"Well, whatever"
Just like that, 4 years passed in the blink of an eye as Kevin spent his time between either cultivating or spending time with his sister and mother or visiting Emilia in the Vampire Realm.
