344 The Forbidden Area Part Two (1/2)
”Chaos qi?” Alicia had never heard of chaos qi before. But she figured this was only natural since she had only spent seven years on a cultivator world.
The old man chuckled and waved his hand, making a chair appear before sitting down on it. Alicia also did the same. Three people sat amongst the dense chaos qi separated by a barrier. ”Chaos qi is one of the original qi's of the multiverse. It is what the origin cultivates and not many know about it. Long ago many cultivated both magicules and spiritual qi. But before that, there was a time when people cultivated three kinds of powers. This was during the time when the first origin reigned and all worlds were brand new. You could say that the way the current celestial race cultivates is wrong. At least that is what I can tell by looking at you. There is a light and dark to everything, but everything was born from the darkness. There is a place within the multiverse that only the Origin and the Origins left and right hand will ever reach. Unfortunately only the first Origin was able to reach this plane. Or it could be said that the first origin originated from this plane.”
”Wait I was told the Origin is the creator of the planets and everything but not that the Origin was not from here at all...” Alicia was confused. She had no idea who she should believe but she saw no reason for this old man to lie to her.
”That is true. The first Origin was the creator of the worlds and even the Origins after that did the same. But the first Origin was tens of thousands of times more powerful than any Origin after that. This was because during the first Origins reign many powerful beings invaded the multiverse. Where they came from no one knows. They appeared one day and began destroying planet after planet. The Origin and his followers fought against these invaders but in the end, both the Origin and the first invaders disappeared…
”But during the first reign of the Origin, the ones who came with the Origin were a celestial and a magic user. The three combined had created three different cultivation systems. First was the use of magic, this was cultivated by taking in Magicules. The magic system could be cultivated by any human as long as their body had a special magical organ which would allow them to store Magicules. Once it reached a certain point it would then burst and become a pool of magicules making them even more powerful. There were many stages to this power and unlike the cultivation system it was very strong even from the start.
”What do you mean? I thought this halo was a sign of becoming a demi god? ” Alicia had a feeling before that this halo had a different meaning for her but she could never place her finger on what it was that made it sp special.
”The reason I say this is because your halo is infused with celestial power only. It shows no traces of your other cultivation systems. If my guess is not wrong you have sung a hymn have you not?” The old man asked.
”Hymn….. I have once sung a song to send off the dead… At that time I had no control over my body...” Alicia said honestly.
”I see… It seems your true awakening is still far off. Whether or not you are able to fully awaken will have a lot to do with whether or not you can find a source of holy qi.” The old man explained.
”Holy qi?” Alicia was surprised to hear about another type of qi.
”Holy qi… How do I put this… Remember how I told you that the Origin appeared in this realm one day, well the two that followed the Origin had brought items with them. In order to fill this place with the types of qi's needed for cultivation. This is where all Magicules, Chaos qi, and holy qi came from. During the disappearance of the Origin, these items went missing. The residual chaos qi that was from the Origin dispersed throughout the world changed over time splitting into two groups. Spiritual qi and devil qi. Devil qi is the counterpart that is closest to the source known as chaos qi. Magicules also changed and has become weaker making the cultivation of magic power much slower and for holy qi… well… holy qi is the hardest to find and not many even know about it.
”I myself do not know which is stronger. But the ability to cultivate each kind of power is possible. As you can see since you, yourself are cultivating two of them now, while your celestial power is slowly converting the two into holy qi to support your celestial bloodline. But if you can find a source of holy qi you can awaken your true abilities as a celestial.” The old man had explained a lot so far but Alicia was still trying to take all this in.
After a few moments of gathering her thoughts, Alicia finally understood everything that was said. ”Leaving these things aside for now. May I ask why you are even down here?”
