Chapter 119 - Ezras Top 5 (1/2)
Will made an awkward cough to try and change the subject. There were too many important things to talk about. For example,
”Okay, just how much do you know about me and what the heck is Empyrean Intents?”
”Empyrean Intents are the highest forms of intent based on the 8 gates. Radiant energy is the Water Gate empyrean intent, while Bloodlust is the Metal Gate Empyrean Intent. We know only know roughly what they can do. We also know you have two classes and are a practitioner who can use yuan. We know you have a high ranking water-related class, at least in the top 100, and that you are aiming to be a sword cultivator. The last one is a bit hard to believe, but we were also told that you had two Sword Totems. That's all we know so far.”
Will slapped his own face, ”This isn't fair, y'all know so much about me and I know nothing about everyone else.”
”You have the highest class guide and with your clearance level, you can learn a lot of information at a discount price at the IB. You, know nothing because you are ignorant.”
Will shrugged while he picked his nose. Ezra shook his head and said, ”Anyway, here is a rundown of the pre-system cultivation world. I will also explain all the people are thing is strong enough to annoy you.
…
”So that's how it was.” Will was shocked by what Ezra had told him. Cultivation culture had been going on for much longer than he thought and wasn't as simple as he thought.
There was now no doubt that everyone with significant power in this day and age was part of a cultivator clan.
Before the system, many of these clans were shifting toward technology, as it provided immediate benefits. Cultivating on earth was becoming more and more difficult as time went by as World Energy was becoming less and less available. That was, until the advent of the system.
The old clans that had abandoned cultivation tried to revert back, to gain an advantage in the upcoming mad world. Thus a worldwide war occurred for four years involving countless cultivator clans and forces, resulting in the now established superpowers.
According to Ezra, Modus definitely interfered many times and had he not, the world would be in a far more chaotic state. There were rumors of a powerful individual controlling things behind the scenes, like a dark hand behind the curtains.
'Looks like Modus is keeping his end of the bargain.'
Will sighed in relief. One of his worries, while he was in King Yama's gate, was to come out and see the world in a complete mess. Fortunately, the change was within acceptable ranges.
”Now tell me why you have two Empyrean Intents at the same time, at such a low level,” said Ezra with a curious glint in his eyes.
Will narrated the events of what happened with Modus five years ago from his perspective.
”Bro, I didn't even know what Empyrean Intents were, so trust me when I say, I have no clue why I can do that shit. I do have a question though. How strong is Genesis exactly.”
