Chapter 4 - Cultivation Part 2 (1/2)

”Then what is the aim of cultivation? If immortality is the wrong answer.”

”To understand the profoundness of the universe,” replied Grand Elder.

Aryan couldn't understand a single thing his gramps told him then, 'Profoundness Of Universe!! What's that? Never heard or read about it.' He remained silent for a while before asking, ”Then Gramps, how many years does it takes with the new system to reach immortality?”

”Hundred and thirty,” replied Grand Elder and sipped his tea elegantly.

'The fck, hundred and thirty!! It took hundreds of years in the past era to set foot on that realm, now we can achieve that in just a hundred and thirty years!!!' his mind was going blank with each passing minute.

First, seven took out his cheat card. Second, the new system has seven stages instead of nine, and third, which seems to be the last of the day (He didn't know at that time it was just a beginning), you can achieve immortality in only a hundred and thirty years...…

Too much, too much of information for him to process at once. In technical terms, Aryan having an old processor of the ancient era, was having technical issues to process and compile modern-generation data.

He took some deep breaths, calmed down his mind, gulped down another bottle of water then asked, ”So, the world of cultivation has taken a 90-degree turn in the past two millennia?”

”Not 90 but 180 degree” replied Grand Elder and asked for another serving of tea.

”Crick crack.....” yet another crack mark appeared in his heart.

To break the ice, Aditya explained the seven natural locks in our body, as described by the seven sages. As mentioned in the records written by them, the seven sages had introduced 7 chakra locks present in our body.

Also called psychic centers, according to them, humans live in two different dimensions one is physical, and the other is psychological. The chakras are present in the psychological dimensions in a dormant state. When a person gets access to this dimension, we revere him as a sage or, in simple terms, a cultivation practitioner.

”I see...” replied Aryan and didn't say anything. Thousands of questions are bubbling up in his mind, but judging from the time and place, he asked the one that picked his curiosity the most.

”Gramps, you are at what stage of cultivation?”

The Grand Elder laughed and said, ”I am at Iswarata Stage (Earthly Goodhood) and soon will enter to the next realm”.

”Next Stage didn't you that there are only seven stages then what is this 8th stage ?”

”Wahahahah, my little boy, first you must reach up to the tatwata (elemental immortal stage) like your father, then I will tell you about it.”
