As I heard this, I realized I am at the Maharathi stage. And he is also at Maharathi stage, then why all are telling he is at Athirathi stage?
But as I could sense his chakra energy intensity, it even makes me feared. How high those are? And all chakra fully energized, like they are ready to burst to attack.
As I see these, words escape my mouth, "Who are you?"
As I said these words, Arnav's face becomes confused, and then with a smile, he said, "What do you mean, who I am? I am Arnav, a simple villager living in this village."
Hearing this, I started to laugh and, after that, I say, "You? You are lying, Arnav. Do you think I am a fool? I can see how powerful you are. Already at Maharathi stage and about to cross it."
And as they say, if it is right, then you would have been way higher than the king stage.
"Why do you do that?" I asked. "Why did you heal me ?" I ahevsome doubts does he know I ahev special body and want to use me for cultivation I continued to talk
I don't want to know how you find me and fall in love. I have some of my own journey.
Arnav's expression changed, and he gazed at me with an unreadable intensity.
"Sorry, I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's start again. Who are you exactly?" I asked, my curiosity piqued.
"Your level, the fear and respect in the villagers' eyes – it's not something any ordinary person can achieve. Tell me the truth, no lies."
Arnav chuckled, his eyes sparkling with amusement.
"You're different from anyone I've met," he said. "But I think the main reason is that you're frightened. You possess a special body that can enhance anyone's cultivation greatly, but that's not the path I desire."
"I want to master my elemental skills, not rely on shortcuts. Besides, I love you, and I wouldn't use you for personal gain. You're free, but I promise to help you find who you're searching for."
"I vow that you'll find everyone you seek, and if, by that time, you haven't fallen in love with me and become my wife, I'll leave and skip that part . What do you say?"
Arnav's words left me stunned, his bold declaration hanging in the air like a challenge.
As I heard his words, I was shocked. His romantic declaration had already affected me, stirring emotions I couldn't ignore.
I pushed aside these feelings and accepted his offer, knowing I couldn't abandon him suddenly. If he were to harm himself, the consequences would be dire I couldn't let my saviour die "I accept," I said, "but don't become a problem." Arnav's face lit up with joy, and he jumped in excitement, his eyes sparkling like a child's.
Seeing his genuine reaction, a smile spread across my face, and for a moment, my concerns faded.
That night, I removed my bandages, revealing my reflection. I was horrified – my body was covered in over 100 big and small scratches mark , with some areas appearing frozen for centuries, others burned, and some resembling ancient scars.
The sheer number of marks left me stunned. Sensing the markings, I detected all five elements emanating from them – earth, water, fire, air, and space.
Confused, I asked my system, "System, what is this? Why are there so many marks on my body – burns, cuts, and others? The space slashes can explain some cuts, but what about the rest?"
My system replied, "Host, I can't confirm, but it's possible you entered an elemental domain. Your body absorbed the elemental energies, resulting in these markings also . You're lucky to have survived."
I was stunned, my mind racing with questions. Entering an elemental domain without knowing? How did this happen? What implications did it hold?
" System continued when I agin got functioned after that space turbulence I was seeing you incritical situation And this boy treated you?" I thought, astonished. "His medical skills are far beyond my comprehension."
I was shocked by his expertise, learning so much from his techniques. He had:
- Added all elements to your chakra, enhancing its power and purity
- Elevated your chakra proficiency from 92% to 100%, achieving the coveted "God Body" state
- Opened and widened all your nadis, cleansing them thoroughly
- Unlocked your 7th chakra, promoting you to Atimaharathi
All this, while spending nearly 99.9% of his time caring for you, day and night, prioritizing my well-being over his own.
"He's definitely a good person and an exceptional Vaidya," I realized, my emotions swirling.
As I processed this, I struggled to contain my feelings. "Why did he go to such extremes?" I wondered.
I needed to compose myself and focus on my task. I assessed my body, noting the scars on my face
"Now's not the time to dwell on this," I thought, steeling myself for the challenges ahead.
I got dressed and prepared to leave, retrieving a ring that contained everything I needed. My next goal was to use the space ship, which would enable fast travel.
However, the system intervened, "You can't use it until you reach a certain level." A new task appeared: Reach Emperor stage while on this planet.
I was shocked and confused. "Emperor stage? What is this level?" The name suggested it was lower than Supreme Emperor, but I had never heard of it before.
Frustrated, I decided to leave. I couldn't shake off the feeling that this village wasn't suitable for me. I'm a good person, but I won't be manipulated or sacrificed.
As I stepped out, Arnav was already waiting, ready to depart. "Didn't you want to help your village?" I asked.
Arnav replied, "If we're leaving the village, there's only one way out. We must face the beast. Whether we like it or not, we have to kill it."
We set out under the cover of night. The village was shrouded in darkness, without a single lantern or light. The sky above was a canvas of countless stars, illuminated by three majestic moons.
I followed Arnav, noticing the eerie silence. After 20 minutes of walking, the road became deserted, and we entered a dense forest.
