Chapter 17 - Bidding Farewell

The shadow used his sword to draw a crooked shape resembling a Non-uniform egg yolk

"There are 4 Dynasties, The Xuan which was previously named China, The King of the Great beasts which were the western countries, The kingdom of the snow which take a large portion of the world and the final one is the King of the Divines. Few hundred years ago, a space crack had formed over earth and from it poured strange energies which mutated animals and made them go berserk" the shadow pause and continued " The beasts rampaged the lands everywhere even the air was no longer safe, humanity was pushed to the edge and many lost hope until someone who was a soldier awoken by the energy and their strength seemed to burst out due to continuous intake of the energy"

"The researchers at that time spent every day and night studying the exercises of the man and from that they achieved three ways, these were called the Cultivation Techniques there is Qi, Body and Soul each are important" the shadow spoke as the creature understood and wrote "How do u cultivate them?"

The shadow looked at the Creature and his face showed visible confusion making even the Creature question as it wrote "What happened?", the shadow looked at the surroundings and spoke "I am just unsure if whether what I know will assist you afterall what I learnt is for us humans but you are a different organism"

The creature couldn't help but slightly understand the reason as it wrote "Even so, There should be some way for me to cultivate right? Afterall everyone other creatures can do it besides me" and the shadow nodded and spoke "every species has a different method of cultivation, the blood vultures Cultivate by absorbing the flesh and blood of cultivators, the Koi cultivate by embracing the natural qi born from the earth and the sky, not every creature has a similar way to cultivate"

The creature listened and couldn't help but think about the shadow's words and since he was unfamiliar with the world's energy he couldn't help but drop the idea of cultivation but as he was thinking the shadow spoke "But, it's not impossible the cultivation is not something only one person can Cultivate thought it has its own requirements"

The creature hearing this was intrested as it wrote "What are they?" To which the shadow replied "A Spirit Root and a body strong enough to hold Qi, for beasts they generally have stronger bodies than humans since birth due to the laws of survival and instead of a spirit root they use a beast core"

The creature understood the meaning as he wrote "Great but how do I know whether I am capable of cultivation?", the shadow replied "You yourself cannot do it as the beast core is something hidden in the body and only after Cultivating for a long time can you feel it's presence but it's not as hard to do for me as I have already Cultivated, I can try and inject qi into your body and find it but you need to allow it to pass otherwise I won't be able to find the core"

The creature thought but before he could say something Blade rushed in through the tunnels and asked "Master please allow me to stand guard, Even if this guy is strong and listens but they may still have some vicious thoughts, allow me to stand guard and protect you through this process" the creature wrote "Fine, as you wish you may stand guard but remember don't try to disturb him no matter what happens to me, you can only attack him if I tell you to do so"

Blade nodded with respect as the shadow lowered his hand on the fleshy floor and spoke "I am starting now" as his hand glowed with a faint light as the light penetrated into the floor, the creature relaxed itself as it sensed the qi flow through the veins

"Stick your consciousness with it, the core is a vital part of the body only your own consciousness is allowed to enter it" the shadow spoke as the creature agreed and let a part of itself go with the Qi flow

Within moments, the qi reached the centre as it was accepted into the core and the shadow was baffled causing the creature to question "Is there something wrong?" But the shadow was confused as it spoke "You have Two cores... That's strange I have never seen anything like this but it may be because of your structure afterall all those I know are creatures with flesh and bones and none of them posses the powers you do"

The creature asked in confused "Is having Two cores a bad thing?" But the shadow shook his head as he spoke "No, A core is basically a empty bottle and qi is like water when you fill the bottle to the full, the bottle will overflow and you must empty it to pour in more water this is a breakthrough, when you do the same thing over and over again the bottle will grow in size and so will your strength, the difference in ranks also is determined by this if one person has a gallon of water then they can be strong but if the enemy has a container the size of a house, may it be speed, force or capacity the One with a gallon will lose first" the shadow paused and spoke "With two cores, you will need to cultivate twice as much for a breakthrough that costs someone else the same at half the price but with two cores, you have a stronger capacity which is similar to someone holding two water guns"

The creature thought and was impressed as he asked "Then how doing Cultivate?" And the shadow replied"Qi is everywhere, in the air, in the earth, it can be as solid as rocks or as spacious as clouds, to cultivate you must know how to grasp the qi and change it to liquid before u can start your journey "

The creature listened and spoke "Ah i see, there is quite a lot for me to understand but I am still curious what are the breakthroughs you spoke of?"

The shadow spoke "There are many realms, when someone has no qi like you they are called Mortals after that is Qi Condensation Realm, Genesis, Vesselous, Quasi-Tri Realm, Realm of Life, Realm of Death, Realm of Illusion and the True Tri Realm, there are more realms after this. I am in the genesis realm while your subordinate is a mortal with insights to the sword path, he should be at the berserker realm of the sword path which is the strongest but also the most dangerous"

The creature asked "Why is it the most dangerous? Does it kill the user?", the shadow shook his head and spoke "No because the Berserker Path is a path forged on the blood of the fallen and mountains of corpses, it is a voodoo for humans and the users of it aree generally hunted to death by all sects but as your subordinate is not a human, he should be fine as long as those crappy sects don't chase him to death"

The creature understood and spoke "Thank you for telling me all this, say are you interested in joining us?" But the shadow shook his death and spoke "No, I have a goal to chase so i don't wish to stay here forever but I may join your legion one day once i get strong enough to stand here"

The creature nodded as he signalled Blade to take the shadow out and Blade accepted as they both left the cave and the creature began to think about how he can Cultivate
