Chapter 8 [Teaching and training (part 2)]
[Asoka divine realm; In the castle; Meditation room]
In the serene meditation room of Asoka's divine realm, eight children and their father, Asoka, sat in contemplative silence.
Asoka's words broke the stillness, "I have imparted basic knowledge and your magic warriors' paths and soul paths power-up levels." Anshu's curiosity sparked, "Master, what stage are we currently at?"
Asoka's response sent shivers down their spines, "You are in the Bone Physical Stage of the Body Consolidation Realms, thanks to your bath in cosmic water." The mere mention of the cosmic water bath evoked a collective shudder.
Rudhir's inquiry followed, "Master, where can we learn aether gathering techniques?" Asoka's guidance was clear, "After meditation classes, visit the library room to select any aether cultivation technique."
Moments of silence passed before Asoka's eyes gleamed with a hint of mystery, "Today, you will become 'world spiritists'." Confusion etched on their faces as they turned to Asoka, eager to ask questions.
Asoka's explanation unfolded like a rich tapestry, intricately weaving together the threads of World Spiritists' extraordinary abilities. "World Spiritists possess spirit energy and knowledge of spirit formations, granting them unparalleled power. They can create formidable barriers of spirit energy to physically block attacks, manifest World Spirits to aid them in combat, craft formation construct to outmaneuver their foes, and even wield 'curse' like effects to suppress the cultivation of others." The children's eyes grew wide, awestruck by the sheer magnitude of these abilities. "World Spiritists are often unbeatable in combat against non-World Spiritist opponents of the same cultivation level, except for those with exceptional bloodlines, divine bodies, or mastery of forbidden, mysterious, or demonic techniques."
Ishihara's query followed, "Master, are world spiritists present in THREE DIMENSIONS?" Asoka's calm response belied the weight of his words, "No, world spiritists are not present in THREE DIMENSIONS, but there is a profession called a spirit master. A spirit master can make a contract with an elemental spirit or fairy. Spirit master and a world spiritist are two different things totally. So do not get confused by name."
"Father, how did you know about World Spiritists if they don't exist in the THREE Dimensions?" Nyxera asked, her tone laced with curiosity and a hint of suspicion.
Asoka's expression turned enigmatic, his eyes hinting at a deeper understanding. "It's a long and complex story, one that I'll share with you when the time is right. For now, trust that I know what I'm doing and follow my instructions."
"Master, if this thing gets exposed, then we will become the primary target for gods and various races," Yuthika's worry was palpable.
Yuthika was not wrong. If world spiritists' things get exposed, they will become the prime target for various races and gods. Everyone will want the secret to becoming a world spiritist in pursuit of power. Origin elves will become the research subject for other gods and races.
"If you do not want to expose the world spiritists, then kill everyone who knows about that. it is just as simple as that," said Asoka simply without change in emotion.
As Asoka's words hung in the air, a collective shiver ran down the spines of the children, their hearts heavy with foreboding. "You will not wield spirit energy," Asoka continued, his voice firm and resolute. "Instead, you will tap into the Evolve form of spirit power, a transcendent force known as astral power."
-------
Just like the Mana that was used by all awakened beings, Spirit Power, or the evolved version of it, astral power, that will be used by all Firstborn origin Elves, all originated from the Omniverse's Energy Origin Point and was endless. Only World Spiritists were capable of wielding Spirit Power, yet World Spiritists were exceptionally rarer than Mana Users in the sea of multiverse.
To effectively control and wield Spirit Power (or astral for Firstborn Elves), World Spiritists would create their personal World Spirit Space, which connected to the Spirit Worlds the World Spiritist was connected to
The world spiritists can also form a contract with the world spirit. world spirits are spirits who live in the spirit world. the spirit world is a higher plane of existence.
World Spirits cultivate by absorbing Source Energy, which can be found in all living beings and remains in the corpses of most beings until absorbed. World spirits rely on a world spiritist to absorb source energy, which they refine into their power.
Source energy appears to increase significantly in quantity and quality with the cultivation level of the individual it comes from. For this reason, it is highly beneficial for a world spirit to refine equal or higher cultivation realm source energy but of little benefit to refining lower realms of source energy. This is similar to how a mage or warrior's particular realm refines the pill, mana beast core, and mana stone of that realm or the next realm above them, but not lower.
-----After one hour -----
In one hour, Asoka has told all the basic knowledge related to world spiritists and world spirits. and;
7 Young elves have already opened the World Spirit Space and made a contract with World Spirit, while Ryker is in his World Spirit.
Ryker world spirit space was a vast galaxy, with a near infinite amount of stars in the cosmos twinkling. In the middle of this vast galaxy was a beautiful black and golden planet. Ryker walked on the planet and explored it. The planet was beautiful, covered in a variety of Spirit Plants, which were plants that had spirit power within them.
Ryker arrived in the middle of the planet, which held Ten Doors, all with a variety of different colors and aesthetics.
Their nine doors represented the Main Nine Spirit Worlds and their strength ranking:
# 1= Eternal Spirit World
#2 = Ethereal Spirit World
#3 = Nether Spirit World
#4 = walker spirit world
#5 = heavenly spirit world
#6 = Asura Spirit World
#7 = Ghost Spirit World
#8 = Mecha Spirit World
#9 = Monster Spirit World
And, one remains door leads to many rarer spirit worlds; however, they are generally seen as too weak to mention.
Unfortunately, 8 out of 10 of these doors were sealed with chains, with only two doors open. The door to the Eternal Spirit World and door to many minor spirit worlds.
World Spirits are the organisms that come from the Spirit Worlds, and the eternal Spirit World is one of the strongest spirit worlds Less than a handful had made contracts with the Eternal World Spirits in the past thousand years in this multiverse.
Ryker had tried to enter the other chained-up gates, but they were all locked and he could not enter, so Ryker had braced himself and entered the gate for the Eternal Spirit World, which was colored like a Galaxy.
Once Ryker entered the gate, he was transported to a boundless vast sea, and he was floating in the middle of it. Ryker quickly realized he was in his Soul Form and looked around. Floating all around the vast sea were billions, if not trillions of clusters of light, and Ryker could feel all of these light clusters calling out to him
"So, these trillions of clusters of light are world spirits and want to make a contract with me," thought Ryker
Ryker thought about what his father said to them.
Asoka has said," For world spiritists, it is very hard to make a contract with world spirit from the main nine spirit world. But you are different from them. You can easily make a contract with world spirit from the main nine spirit world because of your world spiritists' talent but astral power. astral power is the supreme evolved form of Spirit power, and all World Spirits can instinctively tell it would help them increase their power both quantitively and qualitatively, so they all want to form a contract with you.
.....
Ryker comes from his thoughts and focuses on making contracts with world spirit.
Ryker decided to channel his astral, using it to find out the most talented and most useful World Spirit for himself.
Ryker was eventually let in front of one cluster of light that was shining incredibly brightly.
"I'll choose you then!" Ryker said and did not hesitate.
After making that choice, the cluster exploded in a bright light. All of the other clusters disappeared, and the sky immediately changed in color as a serene aura filled the air, the skies having a variety of different colors.
A 50-meter gigantic bird that has a golden color appears and looks similar to a golden crow.
A gigantic bird turned into a 6.5-foots beautiful man and appeared right in front of Ryker and moved her hand across his heart as he gazed at Ryker respectfully, saying,
"Hello, my master. I am Ariel, a white light crow, and I am your loyal World Spirit!"
Ryker was stunned by the handsome appearance of Ariel. Ryker immediately channels his astral to calm his mind.
Hmm, "I will become more handsome than you in the future, just like my father." Ryker thought in his heart.
Master, I had heard legends about astral power, but experiencing it is better. Even being near you is purifying my Spirit Energy and slowly turning it into astral, improving my strength and talent quantitatively; said Ariel.
"Thank you, master, for choosing me;" Thanks, Ariel, in Gratitude.
Ryker slightly nodded, "What level is your strength at?" Ryker asked in curiosity.
"Master, I do not know your world power-up system. So I cannot relate to your world," said Ariel, but in our spirit world, I am over God's spirit stage.
....
As Ryker's eyes fluttered open, the meditation room was bathed in an air of expectation. The collective gaze of the room settled on him, their eyes drawn to his like magnets, as they awaited the outcome of his introspection.
Laughter and applause erupted as Ryker's face lit up with a soft, triumphant smile. "I've formed a sacred bond with Ariel, the majestic white light crow," he announced, his voice filled with wonder.
Asoka's gentle smile mirrored Ryker's as he declared, "You have all successfully created your personal World Spirit Space and contracted a World Spirit. Congratulations, you are now official World Spiritists! Your journey has just begun. The class is now dismissed. Take the next few hours to rest, recharge, and revel in your achievement, Go."
"Wait a moment," Asoka said, his hands weaving intricate patterns in the air. Eight pages materialized, floating effortlessly towards each child. Asoka's voice continued, "Before proceeding to training or other activities, you must first complete the exercises outlined on these pages every day."
As the children read the contents, their legs began to tremble and sweat beaded on their foreheads. Their thoughts echoed in unison, "This is not an exercise but the daily torture."
The children knew that their father, Asoka, would not tolerate any excuses. They realized that this rigorous training was crucial for their future success. To become valuable assets to their father and the pillars of their race, they had to become strongest and resilient. Otherwise, they would become liabilities, weighing their father down.
With this understanding, the children grabbed their papers and fled the room with haste, as if escaping a terrifying entity - not a monster, but something far more daunting.
In the Asoka divine realm, a single day stretched across 36 arduous hours, a never-ending odyssey of self-discovery and growth. The children's schedule was a grueling marathon: 14 hours of intense training and study, 4 hours of mental sparring with the enigmatic Asoka, 10 hours of fleeting freedom to pursue their passions, and 8 hours of restless slumber. This relentless cycle repeated itself, day after day, as weeks blurred into months, and months coalesced into years. And then, like a specter on the horizon, the day of departure loomed, a reckoning that would forever alter the trajectory of their lives.
