Aster started inspecting his body to find out what was happening and he saw that the gray mist was being condensed on his dantian, he focused on it and then he saw that besides the earth core that was formed when he broke through there was a black book with golden decorations which was absorbing that grey mist he saw coming out of Isaac.
He supposed this book was the result of Aldebaran’s evolution but to make sure he decided to speak with Rya.
“Rya, can you come here?”.
Rya stood up from her sitting position on the top of the golden sword in the mind space and she appeared besides Aster’s earth core.
“Wow, those two are surely worthy of being chosen by Aldebaran… the evolution is not completed yet but this book is already something outstanding, if I’m not mistaken this thing has become some sort of cultivation manual but I don’t know which rank will have once it is finished”.
Aster tried to take out the book and it actually appeared floating in front of him, unfortunately he could not open the book and there wasn’t anything written on the cover, Rya needed to restore her energy so she returned to the mind space and sat cross legged on top of the giant sword before saying.
“Seems like you will have to wait for the twins to come out so they can explain what is this thing, besides my knowledge is not up to date so just go and ask your mother about the book, if my guess is correct, she should be able to see the value of it… also I will sleep for a few days because I used too much energy, hurry up and surpass the star tribulation so I can go out ♥”.
Aster could hear the hidden jealous tone in her voice when she spoke about Lilia and he couldn’t help but sigh.
“Women are a source of happiness but also of problems”, he shook his head and then returned to the bathroom, unfortunately Lilia was already out off the bathtub so they both washed off before going to Lilia’s bedroom to dry off and put some clothes.
Of course, he didn’t miss the chance to see Lilia dressing which by itself was a sight to behold, after that they both went to the dinning room and Lilia took out some dishes from her spatial ring, while they were eating Aster explained his mother what happened with Isaac before, of course he didn’t tell her that he almost tried to attack him when he got angry or she might go and destroy him and he has already decided to kill Isaac personally.
“Mom, when I was in Ghaleria I felt the pressure of a star axys realm cultivator but unlike other people who were near me I wasn’t affected by it, there was even a star formation realm person but even him couldn’t keep the composure so I don’t understand what happened?”.
Lilia seemed to be thinking for a moment before she replied.
“Were you wearing the coat I gave you?”.
Aster knew that the equipment his mother gave him was of a really high grade for the standards of the azure sky planet and normally it would have been a good supposition to think that the coat blocked the pressure of the old woman in the fragrant food pavilion but that theory was discarded because a moment ago he was almost naked when Isaac attacked him and he still didn’t get affected by it.
“No, I wasn’t using it at that moment”.
Lilia nodded before answering.
“In that case the most logic thing is that the quality of your spiritual energy must be quite higher than the other person’s one, the principle behind the suppression someone on the star axys realm and above can apply on others is that, after all the cycles the spiritual energy runs in their axys the energy becomes more refined and the more it gets refined the heavier it becomes”.
“Once that energy is radiated it resonates with the energy in other people bodies which results in the suppression you saw back then, this “technique” was developed by imitating what happens when someone from a low tier planet goes to a planet with a better quality of energy”.
“So basically, my spiritual energy is better than Isaac’s one” he thought, and Rya confirmed it after a moment.
“Of course, in fact thanks to the aura you have absorbed from Hyperion the spiritual energy in your body will always be of the best quality possible, this is limited to your current capacities though”.
—–(the giant sword will be referred as Hyperion and Rya is Rya XD) —–
Aster nodded.
“Okay, thanks for the explanation mom”.
Lilia smiled.
“Your welcome sweetie ♥”, Lilia seemed to remember something, before she continued.
“Now that you have reached the earth origin realm you will need a cultivation manual to maximize your potential, once we finish eating come with mommy, I have a gift for you ♥”.
“Okay” Aster replied.
After finishing finished their meal Lilia cleaned the table before they returned to her bedroom, she took out a couple of books out of her spatial ring before sitting on her bed, Aster sat next to her while he waited for his mother to explain.
“As you already know darling, from the tempered body realm up to the soul manifestation we adapt our bodies to absorb spiritual energy that’s why they are called mortal realms, after that the purpose of cultivation for humans is to create a universe within ourselves and the first step is to turn our soul idols into an earth core in other words to reach the earth origin realm”.
“However, there are three paths to choose from this point onwards, one can cultivate the body, the soul or the energy, the people in this planet can be considered the most common kind of cultivators because they only focus on the spiritual energy path, don’t misunderstand they are not weak by any means but from where we come from to be outstanding one must cultivate two of those three aspects….”.
Lilia took a moment, she sighed and then pointed at her hair and her eyes, “for the Drage family the characteristics we inherit indicate a higher potential on two different paths, the black hair indicates that the person has high talent for body cultivation and the red eyes indicate a high talent in energy cultivation along with a special attribute”.
“From the earth realm and onwards you need a cultivation manual to fulfill the role of a guide in the creation of your inner universe, of course the result is different for every person and each manual has its own advantages, some are limited to help you in one path while the best manuals cover two of them”.
“Some people had tried to create their inner universe without a cultivation manual and sometimes it worked but they reach obstacles later which ultimately prevented them from advancing to higher realms, every manual was developed thanks to many generations of trial and error so it’s normal for families or forces that had existed for a long time to have the best manuals”.
“Just to clarify a manual that covers the three paths doesn’t exist yet because no one has been able to balance the three paths and those who tried got overwhelmed by the result and died”.
