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.
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
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 <
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 <
