《EMPEROR OF MYRAID PLANES》
Prologue: Reincarnation
Iridicea Kingdom, Skyloria Province.
TheCity of Grenidia,4thpart of the early night(*).
In the south-eastern outer edge of the city, there is a compound with a large number of courtyards, while some being small and others being large with the center being a brilliantly lit massive building.In one of the brightly lit courtyard, on the balcony of the second floor, there was standing a beautiful young woman with phoenix eyes and fair complexion wearing a loose white gown.In her hands lay a child precisely a boy who was barely a month old, the woman is showing the boy stars in the night sky while singing a song so that the boy could sleep happily.It was a pity though because the boy was Ryan who crossed over from modern earth one month ago, just before the boy was born. **********Prologue************************** Ryan was just your normal teenager, except for the fact he is an orphan and had been studying on scholarships in a slightly famous college in L city.Ryan usually doesn''t spend much money because he is an orphan and can''t afford to be frugal, but 5 months ago for some reason, he felt a strong urge to buy a necklace from a roadside store run by a wretched and lecherous old man, which sold weird objects.The old man sold the necklace for 20$ to which Ryan felt he was rather cheated because the necklace didn''t look beautiful rather it looked ugly with weird markings all over it with a shining crystal in the center and it looked like it was made to scam people by saying it is a lucky item and something like that, but still he couldn''t stop the urge to take it and in the end he bought it for 15$ after haggling with the old man.Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
Ryan felt the necklace was worth it because after wearing the necklace he felt that his memory was improving, which proved to be real after he was ranked 3rd in the class in his mid-semester. It didn''t seem to stop after that.
And in the end semester, he got first place, along with a few new scholarships exams which he passed, which was rather hard for the previous him, Ryan felt he was on cloud nine as long as he had the necklace he felt he could become next Einstein or Hawking thinking about receiving noble prize, he was too excited that he even stopped the porn he was watching as he was still a 19 yr old virgin and didn''t have any girlfriend he could only adjust with tissues and laptop.So he decided to throw a party for his friends, even though he didn''t have any best friends he did have some friends and acquaintances, before he didn''t have money nor achievements so he never thought of party, now he has some spare money as well as achievement, he felt he should give a party otherwise it wouldn''t be good, just going to the party of the others.
Ryan brought his friends to the Jonathan bar&restaurant, which was two streets away opposite his apartment, As this was his first time giving a party so he was rather frugal, hence they ate and drank until it was midnight.Ryan paid the bill which put rather a large hole in his pocket.
As Ryan was rather drunk, crossing the road swaying thinking about which field should he choose to get the noble prize, Just as he saw a black car rushing towards the other side, even though Ryan know nothing much about cars he could still identify the symbol as Benz, as it was normal for cars to move on the road he didn''t think much about it .
Just as he was about to cross the road the felt something slippery under his leg, as he was about to curse what the shit was his leg slipped he fell backward into the middle road as he was about to get up, with a loud deafening sound and a huge force he felt his body was completely shattered and was thinking, how the world lost a great scientist and future noble prize winner, the crystal in the center of the necklace he wore suddenly burst with a blinding light, Then it became completely dark.
As Ryan opened his eyes he was shocked to see a vast starry sky, Ryan felt stupid thinking about shouldn''t he be dead, But how in the hell! did he became an astronaut, Just as he was about to form another thought, the blinding light burst out once again, except this time it was from his body and Then it became pitch black once again.
Chapter 1: Birth
Ryan felt a head-splitting pain as countless unknown fragments of memories began to pour into his head, he felt stuffed as though pork being stuffed with mushrooms as he slowly lost his consciousness
***********************The City of Grenidia *************************
South-Eastern outer edge of city, Near Grenidian mountains.
The compound of Raymond clan, In a large courtyard
Ryan gained consciousness, just when he was about to open his eyes, he sensed that his head was in tremendous pain, as though someone was grabbing and trying to tear it apart.
Ryan just wanted to shout¡± motherfucker what the hell are you doing?¡± but it seems he was unable to do it.
His neck hurt, and his body was suffering tremendous pressure.
HUA!
Suddenly, he felt at ease, and then a burst of fresh air entered his mouth, he felt that it had been a long time since he had taken a breath, even though he doesn¡¯t know how long the long time is.
¡°Ha!¡± After taking a long breath, Ryan let out a joyous cry.
The cry of an infant.
¡°A boy! It¡¯s a boy!¡± Although his hearing was distorted and barely heard it, don¡¯t know why he was able to understand the foreign language, he could still feel the excitement in the voice.
He slowly opened his eyes, as his eyes were slowly adjusting to the dim light he was clearly able to see that he was being held by a smiling big faced middle age aunty, no!no!no! it seems she wasn¡¯t big rather he was small.
No matter how much common sense Ryan lacked, if he wasn¡¯t able to understand that he was reborn as a child with his memory intact, he would¡¯ve lived his 19yr old virgin life in vain.
Ryan began to observe the room, interior of the room is rather large, it was mildly decorated, the dresser, chairs and, tables are made of wood with intricate designs on them, there weren¡¯t any modern appliances he seems to be reborn in an age similar to middle ages.
There was a beautiful young woman with brown phoenix eyes, clad in pink robes with red face lying on the 6 feet large bed with a blanket made of animal fur, she is his mother.
Even though he was quite surprised to see he was reborn, he knows it had to be the work of locket that burst with light before he died and poured some unknown memories that he still didn¡¯t understand.
Just then the large door of the room creaked open, and a 1.9-metre tall young man in clad white robes came inside.
¡°Aunt Nia, how¡¯s the boy?¡± Asked the young man to the middle-aged aunty, Nia while taking the boy into his arms.
¡°He¡¯s perfectly alright and healthy, young master.¡± the middle-aged aunty, Nia said.
Ryan could now see the face of a young man, he is rather handsome, with sharp looking eyes and heroic aura, he seems to be his father. Ryan felt he was rather lucky as both his father and mother are handsome and pretty, he should be handsome right, even if he isn¡¯t he should be above average alright.
¡° As expected of my son, He¡¯s got sharp eyes, handsome face just like me, Jessica.¡± the man said to the woman proudly, while looking at the boy, his eyes filled with love and tenderness.
Ryan was surprised to see, even though his mother just had given birth to him, she seems to be alright with her complexion back to normal, she appeared to be quite alright.
¡°Pui! Stop being narcissistic and give the boy here Ethan.¡± His mother, Jessica said to his father, Ethan while taking him into her arms, sitting upright.
¡°My son looks too cute and adorable, with his brown eyes and sweet face,¡± Jessica said excitedly while holding Ryan.
Ryan came to know the names of both his father and mother, Ethan and Jessica respectively.
¡°Alright Jessica stop being excited, Take this spirit replenishing pill and recover your essence, later we¡¯re gonna bring him to meet father, Now I¡¯m gonna call brothers and sister-in-law they are waiting outside,¡± said Ethan, giving a light purple colored pill to Jessica, while taking the boy into his arms.
Jessica sat in a meditative pose, popped the pill into her mouth and began recovering her essence.
Ethan then gave the boy to the middle-aged maid(nanny), Nia before going out.
Ethan came not long after, bringing along with him two pairs of a man and woman, the first pair consists of a Tall, large, well-built man with full beard and fierce facial features and happy smile on his face, wearing a light green robes along with him is a slightly plump woman with a kind smile on her face, even though she is slightly plump she is definitely your above average beauty, both the pair of man and woman are wearing light green robes.The fierce-looking man is the first(big) brother of Ethan, Robert and the plump woman is his wife, Fionna
The second pair consists of a handsome young man, with harp nose and small beard, he has a faint smile on his face, he¡¯s wearing azure blue robes, along with him is a young woman with fiery red hair and vermilion-colored eyes she is also wearing a matching vermillion gown.The handsome man is the second brother of Ethan, James and the red-haired woman is his wife, Regina.
Fiona rushed and took Ryan into her arms and began to cuddle him while saying¡± the boy is cute, he inherited his beautiful brown eyes from his mother.¡±
¡°Our 7th grandfather¡¯s branch finally had a male child .¡± the large man, Robert said excitedly, while laughing out loud.
¡°Indeed big brother, if the sixth child is also female father and grandfather would¡¯ve gone mad.¡± the second brother, James said while smiling.This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
Even though Regina didn¡¯t say anything, one could see that she was quite happy for a male child from her expression.
¡°Ha! You two move away, you are not giving the baby space for breath.¡± Fionna said, while pushing the two brothers away, she turned towards Jessica, who just opened her eyes from recovering essence and said ¡°Sister in law bring the boy to father in law otherwise he would probably rush here, due to his anxiety.¡± laughingly.
As everyone laughed, Jessica turned towards Ethan with Ryan in her hands asking him to come.
Both Ethan and Jessica left the courtyard, towards a much larger courtyard that is located towards the massive central building, as they walked at a speed much faster than the speed at which an Olympic athlete run, Ryan began to observe his surroundings.
The courtyards are neatly arranged as there are roads between them, even though they are moving fast Ryan was able to observe that the size of courtyards is getting bigger as they are moving towards the center.
Even though Ryan don¡¯t understand much about this world, from the bits of information from memory fragments and the words of his aunt and uncles he was able to identify that this world has cultivation and pills like those of in wuxia and xianxia novels, which Ryan thought mostly correct, because the magic locket specifically brought him here, which was further strengthened by fact that his father and mother were able to walk leisurely at a speed which even top class athletes find hard to run.
As Ryan was thinking about the world, the duo arrived at a seemingly large courtyard, even though the courtyard is large Ryan was surprised to see it was quite empty, just as he thought his parents came to the wrong courtyard. A mighty and vigorous voice saying ¡°Boy! bring my grandson over.¡± A vigorous and mighty voice could be heard from the backyard.
Ryan was surprised, rather frightened to see a middle-aged couple, the middle-aged man with a rough face having full of black hair and a middle-aged woman who seems to be in her late thirties with the head full of black hair with both man and woman wearing grey robes.
No! he wasn¡¯t frightened to see the middle-aged couple on stone slab, but the monstrosity that lay at their feet, Ryan had seen a lot of lizards in his past life, he even saw the so called word¡¯s largest living lizard called komodo dragon, but compared to the massive being he saw here it is nothing more than a wall lizard, the lizard is just lying there, but it is already around 2.5 to 3 meters high, if it were to stand up it would probably be 4 or 5 metres in height, size isn¡¯t the only thing it has a thick layer of crimson colored scales that have a brownish tint all over its body, It¡¯s face is ferocious and hideous just looking at it causes fear, but now this massive lizard is sleeping near there feet like a loyal dog.
The middle-aged man is Joseph Raymond and the woman is Reena, they both are father and mother of Ethan and his two brothers.
¡°Dad! You know that we are coming but why did you keep your Crimson scaled earthen-fire lizard here, don¡¯t you know it will frighten the child?¡± Ethan said with a displeased expression on his face.
¡°Hmph! If he can¡¯t even handle my tamed spirit beast, how can he be my Joseph¡¯s grandson.¡± the middle-aged man said quite annoyed.
¡°Alright! You two stop quarrelling, your father is rather is rather anxious for a male child so he brought his pet for a show off, so don¡¯t blame him and you too he the child is just born, he don¡¯t understand anything so there is no need for show off.¡± the middle-aged woman, Reena took the boy into her arms, while lecturing the pair of both father and son.
Jessica just smiled as she watched everything.
¡° Give the boy here Reena, father said if the child is a boy we should bring the child over to him, he said he has something good for the child, you two we are gonna meet your grandfather, follow me,¡± Joseph said taking Ryan into his arms while leaving the courtyard.
Joseph and the trio moved along the courtyards before arriving in front of one of the large buildings near the massive central building with large words written on it that read,¡¯ Mission Management Hall¡¯, they went towards one of the deeper courtyard attached to the large building, they arrived in front of an old courtyard.
¡°come in.¡± An old and serene voice came from inside.
They went inside to see an old who seems to be in his sixties, with an amiable smile and silvery white hair was sitting under a tree.
The four immediately bowed and greeted the old man.
This old man looks calm and amiable, his name is Edward Raymond he¡¯s actually the 7th Elder of Raymond clan as well as a powerful expert at 8-stage of Essence Condensation Realm.
¡°Hmm! You¡¯re just half-step away from 7th stage unless there is a bottle-neck if you try harder you will be able to reach it in 2 years so work hard.¡± the old man said towards Joseph with a smile
¡°Thank you father, your great grandson is here.¡± Joseph brought Ryan towards Edward.
Edward waved his hand and a wave spirit power lifted Ryan towards him.
¡°Good! Good, it seems, heavens haven¡¯t forsaken my 7th branch, final gifting with a male child,¡± the old man took the child with a happy expression.
¡°Look here brat, as great-grandpa already promised that I would give you something, so look here brat.¡± as he said this he brought a cylindrical vial with a small viscous golden dewdrop in it.
He slowly opened the cap of the vial, as he opened the cap burst of fresh and sweet vital fragrance burst forth covering the whole courtyard.
Even though Ryan doesn¡¯t know what the golden dewdrop is? But he could tell that it is valuable as he felt completely refreshed when he took a deep breath.
¡°What is the drop father,¡± Joseph asked Edward unable to control his curiosity.
¡°It¡¯s a drop a YellowAlder RoyalDew spirit honey.¡± said the old man calmly.
¡°AA!¡± both Joseph and Reena drew a short breath, while shouted at the same time unable to contain their surprise.
Ethan and Jessica may not know what the dew honey is but how can they not know. It is extracted from the bee nest of Yellow alder spirit bees which are Higher rank-1, nature attributed demon beasts, with the servants being equal to essence condensation cultivators at 7th stage and soldiers and males being at 8,9th stage respectively, but the most terrifying is the queen which is usually a peak rank-1demon beast equal to a practitioner at Quasi(half-step) Spirit Foundation realm powerhouse.
To be exact, the nest of Yellowalder spirit bees is rather large, so as long as one carefully treads one can collect honey the outer edge of the hive, but this the most inferior of the Yellowalder spirit honey, even though it is valuable it is one of the inferior high rank 1 material, as long as one has enough money one can still buy it. But what the old man brought is Royaldew spirit honey which is located at the location of queen, even a spirit foundation cultivator find it hard facing so many rank-1 beasts, much less for essence condensation realm cultivators, they simply have no chance at all, so only a powerhouse at low spirit foundation can probably get some.
Even though yellow alder spirit honey can strengthen the body, alleviate mind and, improve cultivation speed for some time, it simply pales in comparison to Royaldew spirit honey as not only does it do everything above, it also improves comprehension, spirit root and affinity towards nature attribute.
The old man wrapped the drop in his essence, put into the mouth of the child, as he slowly began to use essence to dissolve the honey.
As the drop entered into his body Ryan felt pleasure was more than that of fapping while watching porn as went to sleep.
¡°The boy will sleep for around 6 to 8 hours if there is any problem after he wakes up to bring him to me,¡± Edward said as gave the boy to Ethan.
Ethan and Jessica bowed as they left with Ryan, along with Renna
¡°Father even though I know we wanted a male child, but isn¡¯t it too early to use such valuable material without knowing his talent, after all, there may another male child born with greater talents, then wouldn¡¯t we have wasted such valuable material.¡± Joseph sighed.
¡°Boy! Even if you thought so much then wouldn¡¯t your old man have thought the same, no matter how much valuble a material is there is a limit before which it can be used, this honey''s medicinal efficiancy is already declining, by 10 or so years it¡¯ll become normal spirit honey and, also for some reason my intitution told me to give the material if the child is boy and, now leave don¡¯t meet me before you could reach 7th stage of essence condensation or something urgent comes.¡± said the old man sternly.
¡°Ok! Father.¡± Joseph nodded as left.
¡°Sigh! I don¡¯t know what surprises the child brings me.¡± muttered the old man as he closed his eyes.
Chapter 2: Reincarnation divine soul origin
It has been a month since he has been reborn into this world. As a 19yr old virgin, Ryan felt quite shy at first for drinking milk from breasts, he knows that it is important for his current body and he has to act like a baby to avoid any suspicion so he stopped feeling shy, and began adjusting to it.
In this one month of time, he was able to organize the memories from the locket, even though he doesn¡¯t understand a large part of he was still able to organize what he understood.
From what he understood, the locket, to be exact the crystal in the middle of the locket is called as Reincarnation divine soul origin it is actually the crystallization of some ancient supreme powerhouses.
Although he don¡¯t know exactly how a soul can be crystallized much less many souls, he stopped thinking about it as he doesn¡¯t know much about soul itself.
He came to deduce the reason, why his intelligence has rapidly increased in his previous life? because the crystal wanted to fuse with his soul it felt that his current soul is not strong enough for fusion, so it slowly strengthened his soul over a period of half year, just as his soul will be strengthened sufficiently in a week or two he would have thought he would be hit by a car and die a tragic death.
So the crystal forcefully fused with his soul and brought him to the astral plane to find a perfect host for the soul, which is the present little body of his.
For the successful fusion with crystal his soul strength should be equal to that of a spirit foundation realm cultivator who opened his sea of consciousness, but due to his intermediate death and half-baked fusion, his soul which should be a bit away from opening sea of consciousness had fallen to that of pinnacle essence condensation realm cultivation(9th stage peak), not only that but the memories he inherited that should complete and organized has become fragmented, disorderly and incomplete access to the complete memory.
Coming to the cultivation of this world it seems they cultivate Essence system of the three major cultivation systems. Essence cultivation is a process of absorbing, and expanding of the essence between heaven and earth through specific channels called spirit veins that are present in all life forms.
Life forms which cultivate essence are those whose body doesn¡¯t reject the flow of essence into their body, Humans come under this category, Essence cultivation starts with Essence condensation, Spirit foundation, Soul creation and so on.
Even though humans can start cultivating from Essence condensation, but human¡¯s body is innately weak so their body cannot rapidly adapt the change in the essence of the body. So they created a new realm called Body refining which is nothing but refining body in individual segments with the help of Essence of heaven and earth, this not only in strengthening the weak body of a human but also helps in better movement and accumulation of essence throughout the body. In a way, it can be said to be a method for future convenience.
Body refining itself is divided into 9 stages, they are Skin strengthening, Muscle altering, bone refining, Organ cleansing, Blood Purifying, Marrow changing, Complete Essence body(or) Essence body, Internal vision and Sensing Essence boundary.
First six stages of body refining are as the names say tempering skin, muscles, bones, organs, blood and, finally marrow respectively the seventh stage is where one will be able to retemper all the body parts forming a synergy gaining an Essence body, the eight stage is refining brain which toches the connection between body and soul gaining the ability of innervision and the last part is where when body and soul are synergitic through essence one would be able to sense essence, In the previous stages practitioners, won¡¯t be able to sense essence in their atmosphere, they use specific body techniques and chants to temper their body, after sensing the essence if one is able to guide it into his/her spirit veins and store it. He/she would be able to step into 1st stage of Essence condensation becoming a true cultivator. If one isn¡¯t able to store essence but guide it, he/she would quasi(half-step) Essence condensation cultivator.
Cultivators are the people who rule the world, but there are a lot of different cultivators in cultivation world like weapon forger, formation master, rune crafter, Alchemist, beast tamer, mysticst and, diviner are some of the famous ones.
Almost all the professions and goods are divided into 9 ranks which in turn divided into low(1-3 stars), mid(4-6 stars), high(6-9 stars) and peak(between two ranks also called 10 star) tiers consisting of 10 stars, the first rank is called mortal, second is mystic, third is phantom etc.., for example Mortal low 3 star forger, mortal high 7 star weapon, mystic peak alchemist etc¡¡..
All the life forms study cultivation base on symbols of heaven and earth, these symbols are Runes, Inscriptions and, Arrays. The smallest symbols are considered as runes, while the medium is called inscriptions and the large are called arrays.
Depending upon the use they have and the power they exhibit these forms of symbols may consist a simple network of four lines to an intricate form of countless lines and curves. There are also Runic inscriptions and incripstionic arrays which are a natural fusion of runes, inscriptions and, inscriptions, arrays respectively
Rune crafters study runes and runic inscriptions, as runes are small they are only studied by those who possess high talent in mental power( soul strength), because runes are small they require extremely high control of spirit power, but they are also unstable on lifeless objects because they are small in size but contain a large amount of energy it becomes unstable so without external energy they are unstable. As runes possess a large amount of energy they can be directly used to fight these is called rune magic. Runic inscriptions are larger than runes but smaller than inscriptions they are weaker but stabler than runes. There are also other sub-divisions in rune crafting, which we will talk later.If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
Weapon forgers study inscriptions and inscriptionic arrays, they engrave weapons with inscriptions and connect them, Even though drawing inscriptions doesn¡¯t require high mental power, it still requires quite some amount, so even if one doesn¡¯t have any talent in mental power he can still forge weapons albeit slower progression.
Formation masters study inscriptionic arrays and arrays, formations(arrays) are extremely large so they are used in large places like sect training ground, protection, disciple training etc.. , Inscriptionic arrays are usually used in large vehicles like monarch flying lotus, Jade pushpakviman etc¡, as they are smaller than normal formations but not small enough to call inscriptions.
Alchemists are those who refine pills and potions, the difference between pills and potions are, pills are harder to make than potions, pills and some potions give instantaneous benefits, while some potions give long-term benefits, usually pills are stronger than potions, there are even some weaker potion versions of certain pills, pills usually have pill poison which when accumulated to a certain amount causes damage to body, potions usually don¡¯t have this.
Beast taming also require some talent in mental power otherwise the number of beasts one can contract and beast communication will be harder, usually beast taming requires some special arts for one to perform.
Mysticsts are usually people who create or rather perform experiments on beasts, medicines, ores, and minerals to create better things as they deal with unknown these are usually dangerous.
Diviners are a mysterious people, as they say only people with specific bloodline or particular talents can learn divination and also they may not exactly divine for others, totally they are shrouded in mystery.
As far as the as the talents go, talents is defined by the spirit root an individual possesses and the martial spirit he awakens, spirit root is the place where the spirit veins of a person is born from, spirit roots are divided into mortal, mystic, phantom and so on, which is in turn divided into poor, low, mid, high, superior, and finally spirit body depending upon how much it is formed, spirit roots also contain attribute which is also the best-suited attribute to cultivate.
For a mortal spirit root, If the spirit root is developed between 0-30% they are poor quality spirit roots, in the same way, 30-50% is low quality, 50-70% is mid quality, 70-90% is high quality, 90-99% is superior quality spirit roots, 100% is called mortal spirit bodies, they are blessed by heavens as they can absorb the purest of essence, as the world contains spirit essence with no attribute the percentage also represents the purity of the specific elemental essence they intake, after the mortal spirit body is mystic poor quality spirit roots, then mystic low quality upto mystic spirit body yhen phantom poor quality spirit roots and so-on.The attributes of a spirit roots are also divided into pure and impure spirit roots, pure spirit roots are those whose spirit root is completely formed of a single attribute while impure is those with more than one but with one major element, or if two elements are major and equal they are called dual attributed spirit roots, and if posses three and equal then triple attribute and so-on. There are also some gifted people with more than one spiritual roots those are called multi spirit roots.
The difference between grades of spirit roots are, in the same grade as mortal, mystic etc.., all absorb the same amount of essence but the quality determines the quality of elemental essence. But in different grades the concentration and amount of essence normally absorbed by mystic grade spirit roots is cloud and mud compared to mortal grade roots, this classification is defined only when everyone is practicing the exact same cultivation technique.
Martial spirits are said to be synergic spirits that are born with a human, martial spirits give special abilities and help in absorbing and purifying of the essence, it is said that when one¡¯s cultivation becomes higher martial spirit will become corporeal and fights alongside with their master. Usually, a person inherits a martial spirit from either one of his parents or a fusion of both, sometimes the fusion can be powerful while most time being weak, Mostly they inherit from the higher cultivated parent.
While a martial spirit only awakened in essence condensation realm, there are ways to check in body refining realm, everyone''s talent is checked at five years of age because after 5 years spirit roots stops developing and their talent is finalized.
Essence condensation realm cultivators are also called spirit apprentices, while those at spirit foundation realm are called spirit warriors, and soul creation powerhouses are called spirit masters and so-on.
While the essence techniques are divided into Cultivation techniques, Battle techniques, Auxiliary techniques and Forbidden techniques.
Cultivation techniques are as the name says they help revolve essence in a predetermined way to absorb maximum possible way, battle techniques are those that circulate essence in a specific way to produce different types of attacks like movement technique, sword technique etc¡, Auxiliary technique are those that aid or support in both cultivation or battle ex: dual cultivation technique, pill refining technique, weapon forging technique etc.. , Forbidden techniques are those that help wielder gain immense power at the cost of self-injury.
Scriptures are a set of techniques that are based on a specific elemental essence Ex : If a person cultivates <> water attributed cultivation technique, he will cultivate water attributed essence, it is true but the essence is called Jade lotus essence as it is just a subtype of water attributed essence, it is still a water attributed essence and hence he can practice all water attributed battle techniques normally.
The difference between normal techniques and scriptures, in a scripture one wields a specific essence and all the set of techniques in the scripture are specifically made to use the essence, as a result not only the power is greater than wielding normal techniques, but also the consumption is less, cultivation scripture consists of a cultivation technique for specific essence and a large set of techniques in which it can be used, battle scriptures are a bit different as a person cannot change a cultivation technique for a scripture, battle scripture is same as cultivation scripture excpt instead of cultivating the required essence they convert the existing essence into required essence, by using certain materials and techniques one can form an essence seed in dantian which can be used to change a portion of cultivated essences into battle essence for battle scripture, the auxialary scripture and forbidden scripture works same way except for the presense of a forbidden essence from forbidden technique damages the body.
Techniques are divided in the same way all professions and goods are divided.Scriptures can only be practice from spirit foundation stage as dantian opens in spirit foundation realm.
Ryan not only gained this but also gained a mental power strengthening technique called <>, this technique not only helps him improve soul strength but also improve his talent in mental strength, the talent is nothing but how much strong one¡¯s soul is compared to that of an average cultivatior of the same realm.
Chapter 3: High-quality mortal spirit roots
Ryan gained a lot from the memories, not only about the structure of the world, but also countless techniques and scriptures whether it is cultivation, or battle or auxiliary or forbidden ones. As not all the super powerhouses are born in supreme sects, there are also a lot people who through fate and fortune became super powerhouses, as a result the memories he gained not only contained high-grade techniques but also low-grade ones like mortal or mystic.., even though he can¡¯t access nor understand most information, some information he knew will make countless supreme sects go crazy.
The memories shockingly not only contained the scriptures of Essence cultivators who cultivate through essence, but also the scriptures of Body and Soul cultivators who cultivate through Primal and Soul energies. To be exact the <> is actually a soul type cultivation technique, but as Ryan is a human his body and soul is not suitable for primal and soul cultivations, not only Ryan but the entire human race is essence centered. As Ryan is not suitable for soul cultivation, he can only practice the most basic chants of <> which is said to improve the soul talent regardless of race, until ones talent is strong enough to practice soul cultivation technique.
Ryan began his plan for future cultivation as he thought, he should start his body tempering starting from 2 years age, because he can only make movements the required at that age, unlike those in supreme sects who are fed with elixirs and pills, so without needing body tempering they can directly start from essence condensation, actually body refining is created for low-rank cultivators who cannot afford those materials and can only depend on weaker materials and worldly essence to temper their body, Even though Ryan knew the materials as well as pill concocting technique, they are not something his family can obtain, even if they obtained it is not something a mortal tier alchemist can make.
As he was slowly thinking what he should in this two years gap he was picked up by his mother and brought to the balcony in the second floor, even though he has seen a lot of times, he was still surprised or rather mesmerized by the beautiful sight of 7 moons in the sky, even though there are a total of 11 moons revolving around the mainland, from their place they can only see 7 different moons, out of which two are small and light-blue, two are medium and white, two are medium with violet-bluish tint and, a large silver moon, still it was quite a beautiful sight he couldn¡¯t have witnessed on earth.
As Jessica was showing him stars and singing, she looked at his smiling cute face, suddenly her expression became a bit sad, Ryan thought something bad happened but she didn¡¯t keep him in wait as she mumbled , Even though grandfather gave you a valuable elixir at that time, we were so happy we forget about everything but thinking back he seems to have a lot of expectations for you, but if your spirit roots or martial spirit is bad, he will be disappointed and he may not look favourably upon you, sigh! I don¡¯t know whether this a boon or curse for you, as her expression became normal, she observed the boy with an expression of love and tenderness and resumed her singing.
Ryan purposefully closed his eyes as he started to frown, he suddenly realized he forgot the most important part i.e. his talent of martial spirit and spirit roots as he was excited over various manuals and techniques and there is little about talents because unlike cultivations manuals a person can gather many but a person only has one talent so there is limited information about it, so he naturally forget it, but now thinking back, he was really overexcited, no matter how many powerful techniques he has if he didn¡¯t know his talents, he can only gain half-assed results.
He didn¡¯t think much about martial spirits because they can only be checked after he started his body tempering and, he would either get his father¡¯s( also Raymond family¡¯s) Crimson lorian eagle or his mother¡¯s Rainbow cloud butterfly, because the soul origin is crystallization of powerhouses it also cystalized their martial spirits which are synergic soul of the host and as his soul is fused with the origin his soul has gained the qualities of the souls of all seniors so he can directly fuse any of the martial spirits available with some methods in his memories.
What he cares more about is spirit roots, while normal people use root measuring pillar to check their spirit roots, with the large soul strength he has a lot of techniques to check his spirit roots, since it has been month he was reborn he naturally became proficient in using soul energy by studying the basic chants of <> he naturally has no problem in executing the technique, as he was excited with anticipations over his spirit roots, he was dumbfounded to see the results, he knew he was fucked up with this spirit roots.
Ryan¡¯s spirit roots are developed 85% i.e. high-quality spirit roots which is hailed as a great genius in this place where low spirit foundation realm cultivators are rulers, but the fucking fact his spirit root is made of four different elemental attributes of water, fire, thunder and, nature with traces of earth and wind attributes, which can only be considered as poor impure fire(or water or life or thunder) attributed spirit roots or poor tetra attributed spirit roots, while it may seem good as he can practice different attributes of techniques, he can¡¯t practice fire or water attribute because if he practice one the 20% purity of other counteracts as result becoming difficult to practice, unless he can practice fire & water fusion arts which also requires certain environment to it, as he can only practice either thunder or life attribute techniques with poor spirit roots, but these are much harder than normal elements, elements are divided into original, creation and basic elements, original elements consists of essence, primal and soul which fused and further divided into, creation elements consisting of space, time, yin and, yang which further fused and divided into basic elements consisting of fire, water, wind, earth, metal, thunder, dark, light, life and, death. There are other elements such as fate, reincarnation, samsara, devouring etc.. Which are not included for some reason.
There is also other classification that essence cultivators created based on how highly an attributed spirit root appeared and how harder the element is to cultivate, based on this fire, water, wind and, earth are classified as basic(low) elements, for metal, thunder, dark and, light is classified as great(mid) elements, as for life, death, yin and, yang are supreme(high) elements, the elements of space, time, devouring are so rare that they are called legendary elements. There are still elements like ice and lava which are sub-elements born out of the fusion of elements like fire and earth(lava) and water and wind(ice), sub-elements have same classifications as normal elements like ice and lava are great sub-elements.Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.
Ryan furiously began to check his memories for the method to improve spirit roots, well there are a lot of methods to improve one by they require high-quality rare materials or a powerful senior using special methods to improve his body, let¡¯s not talk about rare materials, probably there isn¡¯t even a spirit foundation elder in Raymond clan much less a powerful senior so there is no hope for this also, to be exact it is rare or almost impossible to find a costless spirit root development method because those born in great sects will usually have rare materials and those born as low-level rungs don¡¯t have time nor methods to think about this issues as they always find ways to increase their cultivations, but Ryan didn¡¯t give up he still began to search for fragments he might''ve missed and he found quite a number of them and finally in one of them he found the method as he began to observe the situation.
This fragment ofmemory belongs to a mysticist essence cultivating senior who was asked to created a solutions by some sects to fight against a demon sect who uses a pitch black fog in wars, which not only weakens the opponents but also strengthens them, while they can use pills and formations to stop the effect they can do nothing about their self strengthening, so they can only ask a mysticist for a solution and the senior didn¡¯t let them down he created a tree that can absorb the black fog and as you expected due to their fog being useless the demon sect lost and nearly exterminated and faded into history, but who would¡¯ve thought after some years the remenants of demon sect sneak attacked the senior successfully destroying his body but also nearly exterminated his soul they also placed some sinster curses on his body so that can never recreate his body, helpless the senior can only look for a new body, as he thought about taking a high level cultivators body but left the idea because the soul of a essence cultivator without a body is much weaker than with one and he also trying to consume other in the other¡¯s body so there is a chance of being swallowed, even if successful his already damaged soul will be further damaged and as other¡¯s cultivation and comprehension is much different from his he may never be recover, as for taking a low level cultivators body there is no way he could gain materials for curse removing with low cultivation and all he could do is restart the cultivation, so he thought it would be better to find a uncultivated youthful body with great martial spirit(as a soul he can¡¯t check spirit roots without sending essence or occupying body) and after a long time he finally found a boy with good martial spirit( even though he found some before they are born in supreme sects with great powerhouses around them) and occupied the body of the infant, but was shocked to see he only had a trash poor quality mortal tier attribute less spirit roots( attribute less means too many number of attributes with small percentages each).
But he didn¡¯t become hopeless as a mysticist he know human body better than any one, and also knew that when a person is in womb depending upon type and amount of nurturing essence his body received his spirit root grows varyingly, but he also knew even after a person was born his spirit still grows but far too slowly, so why not grow it according to his desires, Element nurturing essence is a type of special essence present in worldly essence its ability is to grow or nurture the life forms, spirit plants, and herbs usually absorb worldly essence and take the nurturing essence of growth, hence when a life form consumes them the spirit energy not only increases their cultivation but also the nurturing essence in herbs they took will have tremendous benefits on body, so he began to put use of his powerful soul strength for a method to identify nurturing essence in the atmosphere and forcefully bringing to temper his spirit root so he could promote the speed of growth and required attribute for spirit root.
After a year of hard work the senior was able to create<< Heavenly metal nurturing essence gathering formula>> which is specially created to gather metal nurturing essence and finally after five years senior of practising he was able to gain a mystic high metal attributed spirit roots{remember an infant only gains nurturing essence between 6-9 months(spirit roots are grown after 6 months) through embryonic breath after one is born they can still take nurting essence of their spirit roots to grow, but it is nothing compared to what an infant take with embryonic breath}, which are still considered trash in his eyes, but the senior being a mysticist developed an obsession to study about this spirit roots growth so after he cultivated strong enough, removing his curse and regaining his body he began to conduct experiments by erasing the memories of cultivators sending them into the body of infants( may be he didn¡¯t care about lives) after so many years of research he finally found everything about spirit roots how to change it according to his wishes and created a set of chants and methods called << World element nurturing essence gathering formulaes>> which consist of methods for different elements nurturing essences but there are still some conditions need to follow.
First only cultivators below spirit foundation can use it, as after that spirit root becomes rigid and can¡¯t be grown with small amounts of nurturing essence, for normal humans from upto 45-50 yrs and for essence nurturing cultivators upto 80-100 yrs after that spirit root start withering like organ aging so one can only use upto this age, the greater the soul strength the greater benefits, the younger the person is the faster the growth of spirit roots, dual spirit roots are gained when you divide your soul strength into two portions and grow two elemnts at same time, as a result, the spirit roots split into two with each becoming different roots the time will be longer for this process, in the same way for multiple spirit roots, to create sub elements spirit roots one has to fuse two elements like fusing a wind attribute and water attribute to create ice arttribute according to << creation element gathering formula>>.
Ryan became incomparably excited as heaved a sigh, he was surprised to see his mother looking at him weirdly but Ryan can¡¯t remember why she is looking at him like that, but still, he laughed like a baby so that it won¡¯t be weird, as she smiled and brought him to bed.
Jessica looked happily at the blissfully sleeping son of her, but she still couldn¡¯t help but start frowning as she remembered for last 20 or so days he would start showing different expressions like frowning, sometimes sad, and sometimes suddenly became, happy and excited when she looked at him he would start laughing, even though she knew that a 1 month boy knows nothing of this, she still couldn¡¯t help but feel uneasy, even though she know he is perfectly alright she still firmly decided to bring him to the best physician in city, as she thought of this she suddenly heaved a sigh and slept beside her son.
Chapter 4: Ryan Raymond
In a large courtyard,
A small boy was crawling on his all fours with two maids running along with him, he came out of the backyard while looking at the sky, that is filled lightning, his face filled with excitement, as a bright gleam passed across his pure brown eyes.
The boy is Ryan, six months have passed away since he was reborn in this world, Ryan stopped showing his expressions outward after his mother brought him to an old physician five months ago, to think the physician would say I have mental problems because he couldn¡¯t find anything, Ryan wants to beat the shit out of old fart but alas! He could only glare at the old man.
It has been five months since he started practising fire, water, thunder and, life attributes of << World element nurturing essence gathering formulae>> , Ryan has already formed a spirit body(100% formed mortal spirit root) with fire, water, thunder and, life consisting of one fourth each, but as his soul strength is only at peak of essence condensation and not at spirit foundation he cannot divide his soul strength into four different parts to simultaneously practice four techniques of fire, water, life and, thunder at once.( only at spirit foundation can one open sea of consciousness and divide his soul strength into more than two parts and also to create multiple spirit roots all elements should be in equal proportions and one has to execute all formulas at once, to do this one need to divide his soul strength into multiple parts).
The reason Ryan is excited because his soul strength has reached spirit foundation and he opened his sea of consciousness two days ago, the reason for his wait is he wanted a perfect time when all four attributes are abundant in nature to break his spirit roots into four different ones, just then a booming sounded when a thunder flashed across sky, he knew that thunder attributed energy in the surroundings is increasing as there is already abundant life, water and, fire essence due to the trees, pond and, the fire in the house.
So he immediately closed his eyes sat on the floor, divided his soul force into four parts and started gathering foul different attributed nurturing essence from surroundings, he could feel the soothing water, vibrant life, fierce fire and, destructive thunder as he guided them into his spirit roots, Ryan felt an incomparable pain as his small became pale but he didn¡¯t stop and finally with a crack!, The spirit root began tearing into four different roots each with light blue(water), light red(fire), pale silver( thunder) and, leaf green (life) even though they look unstable and seemed to be tear apart with slight force, he know it is success and he can develop them into four complete new roots with future nurturing.
Just then his mother came back lifting him in her arms while looking at him then said ¡° you brat! You¡¯re always running away to the backyard when it is raining , tomorrow is your naming ceremony now go to sleep¡± as she brought him over to bed, Ryan remembered his father saying something about naming ceremony, he still didn¡¯t know anything about it, but he still didn¡¯t want change his name so he began to think a way to slowly Manu plicate so his name would still be Ryan as slowly went to sleep.
Ryan didn¡¯t expect the naming ceremony to be this easy, there was just a large box containing huge amount of jumbled small sized wooden plates each with a character written on it, the first plate the baby picked will be the letter the name of the baby starts with, then they will shuffle again to select the second character and so on, as most names contain only 3 or 4 characters it doesn¡¯t consume much time, like if the baby first selects a character ¡®gre¡¯ then the second set of characters only contain characters that make meaning with ¡®gre¡¯ like ¡®gory¡¯ or ¡®mlin¡¯ or like that, so only meaningful characters are displayed to avoid embarrassment, still it was not that big of a ceremony here, of course as expected Ryan first fiddled around the took character ¡°rye¡± then in the second set he picked ¡®yan¡¯, there are also other people who came to his ceremony, two pairs of woman and man, the first pair is Lopez and Gracie, the second pair being Rothes and Amya they are sons and daughter in laws of second and third grandfather whom Ryan had never seen they brought along two girls around 2yrs. Of age, Lopez is around the same age as second uncle James and while Rothes being the same age as his father leaving the girls to play with me, while his mother and father along with uncles and aunts finalized his name to be Ryan Raymond.
Ryan also came to know about his five cousins who played with him by pinching his cheeks, by beating his butt and jingling his little guy, Ryan wants to cry as a 19 yr. old virgin he never played with a girl much less a girl who was not even 5 years playing with him, the eldest is Misa who was barely 4 years old, and there is also Mina who is around 2 yr old who is playing with his cheeks as though they are rubber balls, Runa whose age is 2.5yr, Latia age is also 2.5yr while Aria whose age is 1.5yr are all playing with his little guy or pressing his body like puffed toy, Misa and Mina are daughters of first uncle Robert, Runa is daughter of second uncle James, Latia of third uncle Lopez , finally Aria of fourth uncle Rothes, they looked Ryan like an exotic creature by touching various parts, he tried to defend but how can two hands match ten hands, he could sigh with defeat as his body is defiled.
The five brothers seemed to rather close as they talked entire day after they drank they all stayed in his father¡¯s courtyard for the night, as the courtyard is large there''s space for everyone one, Ryan used his soul force to check everyone is asleep, he used his soul force to transfer cultivation formula of << World element nurturing essence gathering formulaes>> .
Misa has impure metal, Mina has impure wind, Runa has impure fire, Latia has impure water and, Aria has impure wind, well he didn¡¯t expect much as pure attributes may not be as rare as spirit body, but still they are not cabbages, but he didn¡¯t feel disappointment as after practising formula for some time we can change the growth of spirit root, so there is no need to care about whether there are impure or pure or the quality of spirit roots, so he transferred metal formula to Misa, but storm(wind + Thunder) fusion and storm formulae to Mina, Lava(fire + earth)fusion and lava formula to Runa, ice( water + Wind)fusion and ice formula to Latia, featherlight(wind + light) fusion and feather light formula, the reason he didn¡¯t change Mina is because metal is already a great element, even though he can create some element stronger than it by fusion, he has more powerful scriptures for metal elements than for fusion elements.
Previously because his soul power is only at essence condensation he can¡¯t transfer information, now it is at spirit foundation he can easily do it, but still he has to use special methods to transfer information to little girls so that they practice the formulas involuntarily( the same way a child does breathing without learning they practise formula without thinking it¡¯s weird), but other spirit foundation cultivators can¡¯t do it, because it requires perfect control of soul power and some incantations, but still he can¡¯t do it for essence condensation cultivators as their soul is strong they experience a resistance, even though he might transfer information they might never practice it due to being cautious, or they might bring calamity if they bring it to a stronger cultivator to check its uses.
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.The next morning everyone left for their courtyards, and Ryan started his practice as usual, even though he wanted to give formulas and scriptures to his parents he knows it has to wait as this schedule continued on.
One year has passed.
Now Ryan has mortal tetra spirit body of lava, ice, thunder and, life, during this year the girls visited him many times, especially Mina as she liked playing with his cheeks, this also gave Ryan opportunity to direct metal nurturing essence into her so now she was able to form mortal metal spirit body, today is the day when Raymond clan tests their 5-year-olds for their spirit roots and martial spirits as his cousin Misa¡¯s talent is going to be revealed his mother brought him to the central building, at the back of the building in the square there on the elevated stage is a large transparent crystal pillar with prismatic top it has 3 divisions(4 segments) on it, behind the crystal pillar on a large stage there sat 4 old men on chairs with silvery white hair and wrinkled faces, there is another old man near the crystal pillar on the elevated stage, even though he has white hair he isn¡¯t as old as the four on the stage, at a distance of 5 to 10 metres from crystal pillar there lay a large formation with a middle aged man in the centre, the man had an arrogant and disdainful look on his face as if everyone was below him, on either side there are a large number of seats arranged they are usually for direct descendants like his father and uncles, while the servants usually watch from the opposite side.
His mother brought him and sat in the third row of the left side, with aunt Floria sitting beside us, Ryan identified the formation it is it¡¯s a mid mortal tier formation the looks to be a mid-mortal tier array master no wonder he is arrogant, In this being a formation master of such level at his age is already great, Ryan identified the pillar its root measuring pillar of mortal rank, it is made of mortal essence crystal rock which can absorb and release small amounts of essence with least dissipation, Ryan was disappointed with the root measuring pillar as it¡¯s not a complete one, usually a normal mortal grade root measuring pillar is made by high-mystic grade weapon forger it has 4 divisions( 5 segments) each division indicating 30%, 50%,70%,90% respectively and a small crystal orb on it, when a person touches the pillar, the pillar glows with a different colours, if only one segment glows then his roots are 30% or less developed indicating poor quality roots, in the same way, if two segments glow the roots has 30% to 50% developed indicating low-quality roots , and in the same way 5 segments light then the roots are 90% to 99% developed indicating supreme quality roots, but after the glow of 5 segments if the crystal orb on top of it glows brilliantly then the person has spirit roots, it not only determines quality it also determines attribute, remember the pillar glowing with different colours these colours indicate attributes like red(fire), blue(water), etc.., of course, if a person has 85% developed roots but only 50% fire and remaining different then the pillar only glows 2 segments with flickering red glow indicating impure fire attribute, if a person has dual attributes then it glows with two colours simultaneously with one occupying half with the remaining another half, if one has multi spirit roots then first it indicates first spirit root, then without stopping indicates all spirit roots the person has.
But the crystal pillar shown here is a lesser version of that with lack of 4th segment as well as crystal orb, so the cultivator can only determine up to mid quality spirit roots, even if a person litsup all four segments they can only say the quality is above mid, but they can¡¯t exactly say whether it is high or supreme quality spirit roots or a spirit body, it also has another problem it can¡¯t identify some sub attributes like storm or featherlight and some other, if they appear they only indicate one of the main elements ex: if its storm( wind + thunder) it shows either wind or thunder.
When all the clansmen gathered, the old man near crystal pillar looked around and spoke a stern voice ¡±All brats who are five years old stand here¡± pointing at the ground near measuring pillar, suddenly there was bustling in the crowd as the group of five-year-olds came from the stands as well as from servants, they stood at the place where the old man pointed, Ryan was shocked to see the total number of children is around 40 or 50, the first 2 rows of 10 or 20 Childs are magnificently dressed like some young masters and mistress, while the children at back dressed normal, from here one could see the first two rows are made of direct descendants and last rows of sub clans and servants, when Misa saw her mother and we are looking at her she excitedly waved her fists.
¡° All the brats go to the formation and check your martial spirits then stand where you are now.¡± the old man said with a stern voice.
A blonde haired flamboyantly dressed boy walked from the first row followed by others, the blonde haired boy went into the middle of formation, the middle aged man in the formation closed his eyes and started forming symbols when suddenly a brilliant light lit up and a large magnificent eagle with shiny crimson feathers that has brownish shade appeared letting a high pitched cry, the middle aged man emotionlessly said ¡±Philip Raymond martial spirit Crimson lorian eagle.¡± the boy went back to his position and next one followed ¡®Crimson lorian eagle¡¯, ¡®Crimson lorian eagle'', and so on, with most people containing Crimson lorian eagle as it is the martial spirit of Raymond family, but there are some other like¡¯ Jade furred panther¡¯,¡¯ Golden eyed ferret¡¯, but they are minority, as expected Misa got the same Crimson lorian eagle.
When everyone reassembled the old man looked at them and said in a solemn voice "Everyone, come one by one and place your hand on the root measuring pillar.¡±, after that a cutely dressed bulky brown haired boy went to the stage and touched the pillar, suddenly the pillar glowed with a flickering brown light then it shot up one segment, two segments then it finally stopped at third segment, the oldman smiled giving a nod before announcing ¡° Baldor Raymond, Impure Earth attributed mid-quality spirit roots.¡± then one by one everyone came up most have impure attributes of basic four elements with low or mid quality spirit roots, out of which only one got above mid-quality roots that too of wind attribute and, only two boys got great elements one being the blonde kid with mid-quality impure light element and another one is a black haired kid with mid-quality impure metal element, suddenly the pillar flashed with a bright golden light and completely lit, the old man opened his excitedly and shouted¡± Misa Raymond, Pure metal attributed above mid-quality spirit roots.¡± even the four old man(elders) on the stage opened their eyes, it can be understood as its already hard to find a pure great element spirit roots much less one that is at least high-quality, every one on either side and ground fiercely discussed as they know how rare they came across one, the people around Fiona congratulated her as they know the prospects of someone with that quality spirit roots, aunt Fiona was smiling from ear to ear, who don¡¯t want their child to great talents and soar to heavens, after Misa there are around 20 to 30 childs who determined their talent even though some are good but they paled far in comparison to misa.
After the checking, every child was brought to elders, while Jessica brought Ryan to home.
