Chapter 4 - Learning to cultivate(1)

  The sun slowly fades in the herizon and the workers slowly put away their tools and head to their humble brick dwellings to rest, I howerver start walking away to the eastern fields to my usual spot, a small hill where the horizen is perfectly visible and not obstructed by the nearby mountains. the metallic fields lightly reflect the light from the sun giving the usual gray plants a bluish tint that looks unusually beautiful for a field where workers are put to do exhausting work.

  Recently i have been experimenting with my body(not in that way) and trying to figure out how to cultivate. The basics of cultivating the body are very common knowledge even though most people can only reach the first layer, according to what i have heard, a martial artist first draws ki from the sorrounding or from ingested food and absorbs it into their matrix, they then later use a basic and well know breathing technique to draw the Ki to their skin and begin to re-construct their skin by merging their ki with their skin cells. 

  Unfortunatly Ki does not know how to appriciate real beauty and won't listen to my commands and gather in my matrix.I began exploring my matrix to find a solution, when i poured my concience into my matrix i felt as if i was "zooming in" on a computer and the protostar in my matrix came increasingly closer, so close that eventually my body suffered mild radiation burns and i had to heal for a couple hours, thats when i noticed something intresting.

  All the plants in the surrounding two meters had all whithered due to the radiation, yet all i got was mild internal burns, that is when i realized that my body had an abnormally high resistance to radiation, for example as i mentioned before, when staring directly at the sun my eyes never suffered any kind of damage. Even though the experiment resulted in me becoming injured but it was not fruitless. In this world there is a peculiar kind of Ki called Solar Ki, in other words its Ki produced by the sun, but i quickly figured it was not the case.

  Last time I ate, I noticed a quite peculiar reaction, radiation that leaked from my matrix came into contact with the Ki in my stomach, the radiation seems to have excited the natural Ki from the food i ate and temporarily caused it to become stronger and denser, the Ki sunked into my matrix and was instantly excited my more radiation until it broke down into the two basic energies known throughout the world with differant names, in some areas yin-yang while the people here refered to it as positive and negative energy.

  The two energies then seperated but before they broke down they were rapidly pulled into by my protostar, then something that perplexed me happend, the protostar started changed color to a bright white. Thats when i quickly relized, the protostar started using the two basic energies to produce its own energy, by colliding the two opposite energies together with enough force when they are at the point of breaking down, they will cancel eachother out and release a pure energy. 

  Thats when i realized something, if stars are able to do that then there must be starts in this universe that have for billions of years without collapsing, and their might be starts of immeasurable sizes that are impossible to imagine... the stars are at war, the stars that gain more mass use their gravity to devour other stars, and in exchange also gain longitivity, normally a galaxy would have a black hole in its center, but i have a feeling that in this galaxy, theirs a giagantic star in the center, devouring all matter nearby.

  This is a complicated universe i have been draged to.

  hmph so martial artist that cultivate solar energy are basically cultivating excited Ki from the atmosphere that became to dense and floated down, that means they have constantly cultivate under the sun or slowly loose their cultivation, ha i will show them the real meaning of cultivating the cosmos, one day i will be star out ther devouring everything.

The Moon slowly rises and i keep on contemplating things i slowly turned towards the diming sun and a mutter a thought that has been bugging me

  "if stars devour all surrounding matter why does this star system have planets, shouldn't the planets been draged by the stars gravity long ago...."

  -"hmph, im just a lousy star at my lifes end, if i want to survive i will need the help of a god, besides such a small amount of mass won't help me, so i decided to wait and see..."

... the sun talked to me again, maybe i been thinking too long. guess i will sleep, tomorrow i have to figure out how to begin my cultivation.
