My days are going crazy. My mother is a battle maniac and she has been training me non stop. If I have to take a break then she would make me read book or cultivate since time is short. My sister comes to visit me sometimes but every time she comes to see how badly bruised I am in. Sweats and tear are also she could see coming from me. When she suggests he should quit, he would always says that "I have no talent, so I will have to work extra hard. And mother doesn't give any special time like training for children before, this is my lucky chance. I need to use it while I still can." But she knows very well that it is not the main reason he is doing this. So she left to find out the reason why?
Elena who went to mother to see what is happening and to know the exact reason for all these trainings for what? So in a garden where my mother is standing and feeding the fishes. She is standing there elegantly beautiful with violet hair and violet eyes with bright white empress clothing. And if you see my sister next to her they would look like twins. Just the difference is my sister has golden hair and blue eyes just like my father. My father who is also a handsome man and like all our family members brother, sister or uncle and aunt from paternal side has blue eyes and golden hair from the founder till now. It is always golden hair and blue eyes and so I have the same golden hair and blue eyes and handsome look as usual.
My father married my mother when he was 300 years old and my mother was around 100 and so in these 200 years they have 3 children. The eldest son who is actually around 200 years then came my sister who is around 120 years old and then me who is around 8 and half. My father was a handsome young prince and so he made a goal of having all the princesses of the country so that he can rule this emperor fort and control it peacefully. And this plan was actually simple but it work beautifully. Because all the kings and ministers are at his own control or what he thinks. The emperor's eldest brother who is supposed to be the crown prince couldn't hold a candle against him since he has only one wife and 4 children. It is not that he gave up on becoming the emperor but just can't find any chance to beat his younger brother in anything.
....
Elena walking towards Diane, where Diane didn't even look back and asked, " How is my grandchild?"
To which Elena chuckled and replied lovingly, " He is doing good and has great talent, skill and a spirit beast so he is training well under his father. It is funny how the boy is older than Ray."
Diane also chuckled then ask, " So why are you here?"
Elena asked, " Why are you training Ray like this, he is just a child of 8 years old? Even I started train seriously what you are teaching at the age of like15 years or more. And also, I had been doing it under someone who are stage 1 or 2 and they have been gentle with me. The way you are teaching Ray is like almost near death training. He is crying and it really is not necessary now to train him like this. Why not after he turns 12 or something like that?
Diane stayed silent for sometime and then replied, " That is what I had planned to do at first but your father ruined everything. If he had agreed with sending Ray to a village or something, I still could have trained him at slower pace. But everything needs to be faster now since he is abandoned or more like banished from our country. And about near death? do you think he will get to live one more day in the outside world? He could face near death anytime so he needs to see or feel how it is outside by feeling near death under my hand then others because he could literally die under their hands.
Ray will be targeted by the younger generations. Imagine you are already near stage 4 and your brother is at stage 4 level 5 and there are more children out there who is from Ray's generation who could target him. I and you or anyone will not always be there to protect him. Ray has unranked talent and who knows how long it will take him to reach stage 1, forget stage 2. So I am training him to do 2 things, one to learn how to escape and so I am teaching him speed. Two I am teaching him how to fight with different weapons so that he can fight while escaping."
Elena asked, " Then why are you teaching all the northern techniques and not the central ones, there are some good central techniques as well."
"Because he is Walker not Richard." Diane said smiling.
Elena has no ideas that Diane is not only teaching him escape and weapon techniques only. She is teaching him how to cultivate his mage power and increase his skills and also collecting all kinds of different elements stones so that Ray can increase his skills as well. Elena would be shocked as Diane when she heard there are 9 types of elements of beast skill. So to learn them he needs to be taught all the elements but each one is harder than the other ones. To learn these skills he need to have different requirements like strong body, adaptability, and control. There are 9 types of elements Fire the phoenix, Water the black turtle, Earth the white tiger, Air the dragon, wood the ancient tree, light the ancient deer, darkness the ancient wolves, space the roc and time the owl. If Elena finds out of these skills she would be beyond shock and will agree what Diane is doing and why she is trying to hide and make Ray go earlier than expected.
Elena sighed and asked, " how long Ray can stay with us?"
Diane also sighed and said, " I don't know, I asked for a year since he was poisoned. It hasn't been decided yet. But after what I did to all the kings and ministers and Rex's children and grandchildren. I don't think they will even give me that much time either. I hope they give me more time to prepared Ray before he is send away for his travelling."
.....
In the training ground Ray got up after 10 minutes of rest and barely managed to sit down and started to feed all the energy he can bring towards his seed to cultivate. He is collecting all the surrounding energy towards him. It was very difficult at first since he was poisoned and the amount he used to collect was measly mosquito bites but now after healed he can take ocean full of energy. Even though he is collecting energy he has not became level 1 for some reason. He still didn't even level 1 yet forget stage 1. It is definitely said there are 5 stages but to actually become stage 1 you need to first collect enough energy from level 1 to level 9 Qi energy. Then you will become stage 1. And that is when you truly become cultivator. so in a sense there are 6 stages.
Starting from stage 0 to stage 5.
"Spirit!! spirit!!" Ray is calling for his beast spirit. But from the day he got his beast spirit till now he hasn't received any message till now. And he really needs to know why can he not become stage 0 level 1 yet. He has been calling the beast spirit everyday to know if he knows anything but no respond is killing him too.
When Ray was going to give up for the day while calling for his spirt and keep on cultivating silently, the spirit beast replied, "what is it?"
Ray become shock, finally the spirit replied to him. He become delighted and asked, "Why have you not replied to me all these times and why have I not become stage 0 level 1 yet?"
The spirit replied, " to your first question it is simply because you are weak and I can barely manage to speak for short time. I will fell a sleep again in few minutes. so ask away as many question within these time. To your second question imagine a pond is being filled with few drops of water will it be filled? no, right? So you need to know that a normal cultivator take few drops of water to level 1 and normal genius takes 40 to 50 drops and super genius takes 100 drops but why not you who has also collected more than 100 drops? The answer is simple you need to take 10 times more than super genius that is 1000 drops. You are a monstrous genius. So keep on collecting energy and become stronger. Take your time and be patient."
Ray asked, "Am I receiving energy slow? Can I cultivate energy any faster?"
"You are definitely receiving energy faster than normal genius but since you had been poisoned for years your meridian is still weak and it is indeed collecting energy slower than usual. So first thing you can do is make your meridian and spirit vein more powerful by having more energy pill and spirit stones. If your spirit vein and meridian are stronger they can speed up your cultivation as much as super genius level if not more. Also you can cultivate faster where there is cultivation tower or places outside mountain or river that has more collection of energy. It can help you increase your cultivation speed faster than before." The spirit beast is telling as if it is a matter of facts.
But this matter of facts gave Ray one confusion and he asked for clarification from the beast, " so how do you know all these?"
To which the spirit beast replied, "The spirit beast that you all people received? Do you think they all cannot talk or live on their own? They can even if people dies but that is if that spirit beast gains freedom from his or her master. If they don't then the spirit dies with the master. But those spirit beast that dies, forget all their memories when they revive to new master.
There are 3 different types of spirit beast inferior, normal and super spirit beast. But if you are asking what am I? Of course I will not tell you? hahaha you think I will tell you, of course I will tell you but not now since you are weak. You should only know that I am your best friend and I will live or die with you no matter what. Since I am fated to be your spirit beast. But enough of the jokes I will tell you one thing, I have memories of my past with previous several masters who had me and even if I died, those memories remain intact with me. So my current master is you and those memories are meant to help you. Anyway this is it for now, my time is up. More question will be answered when you gain enough spirt energy. I hope you become more stronger when I wake up."
Ray learned many things and it has gained him tons of knowledge and although his spirit beast is a bit naughty and jokes with him a lot. He knows the spirit beast can be his best friend. So for now train, train and cultivate. So that he can gain more respect from the spirit beast next time.
