13 Cultivation

"Now we're talking about cultivation. It is best if you start cultivating, Ben." Water's says, butting into the conversation. "Ben please take all of us out." Water says. Ben takes Water, Boyd, Azrael and Ghost out. He also retracts his armor.

"How do we get started?" Ben asks. "We four, have three cultivation manuals for you and some techniques for you. But we will come back to techniques later.

My cultivation manuals are [Primordial Water body], [Boundless primal water source] and [Eternal flow]. Body path, energy path and soul path, respectively." Water says. "When you cultivate all of them your body will be a container of almost unlimited water qi." Water says.

"[Primordial Water body] tempers your body with primordial water. Making it more sturdier but is focuses most on flexibility. Water is an element that focuses on change. When something is in the way you either go around it or overwhelm it. [Primordial Water body] gives you the perfect composition of flexibility and power.

[Boundless primal source] molds your overlapping meridians into small dantian's and has a better function, but I will explain when necessary. For the soul [Eternal flow] makes the soul like flowing water. Your soul will be ever flowing. Your soul will be heavily guarded against soul attacks because your soul does not stop flowing." Water says.

"My race does not have a soul cultivation method because beasts are not supposed to be intelligent. But for energy cultivation I can give you [Swirling void] for energy. For beasts, our body is the main focus. [9 void tails] or [9 tailed kitsune] can I give you." Boyd says. "With [Swirling void], you will create a void 'tornado' that sucks in the surrounding qi's of your choice. The void 'tornados' are placed on the points where your meridians come together. That will be 9 void 'tornados'. They will also let you store more qi than regular meridians.

The body technique [9 tailed kitsune] is a general technique available for every kitsune. You will cultivate vital qi, this is just a kind of lifeforce, and you will gain a body of a 9 tailed kitsune. [9 void tails] is the exact same thing but with vital and void qi. You will gain 9 void tails. Together with the [Swirling void] that also form inside your tails giving you 9 extra 'tornados'." Boyd says.

"You asked me if the symbols and lines on your wings mean anything, when we were inside the world tree. The answer is yes, they mean a lot. Angels are a funny race. We are actually only souls. But as compensation from the heavens, we have an amazing talent for the soul path, we can comprehend one of the highest wills, we have an amazing talent for soul related jobs, such as formations and alchemy and we are able to store energy inside our souls, none other race can do that.

Now onto the symbols and lines, they are actually formations. Your wings are actually soul wings. But with formations we can make them tangible. With the comprehension of Holy will we etch formations at the outer shell of our souls to form a body, then we fortify our self-made bodies with defensive formations.

That is also what I will give you for the body path. [Book of body etching], this book is passed down from generation to generation of angels. It has all the information to use Holy will and etch formations on your body.

Another funny thing is that, for the body path and energy path every angel uses the same manual. The only difference is in the soul path.

For the energy path we use the [Integration of energy] to store energy inside out souls. Then for soul cultivation. I have the [Angel of death] manual. It will turn your soul into an angel of death soul it is also capable of storing energy." Azrael says.

"Water is incorrect. I only have one cultivation manual for master. It is a manual that doesn't involve any qi and can be practiced without a law seed.

It is called [Evolution]. I will need to help master form a special core inside masters' inner soul realm. Then master only had to send from his soul avatar soul energy trough the phone and back. That way I can level up and your soul will gain extra features." Ghost says.

"Wow all of your cultivation manuals are so overpowered. Let me think of the best way to utilize the most out of everything." Ben says a bit overwhelmed with the stream of information given. After thinking for a while, a question pops up. "Boyd, Water and Azrael. Will your body manuals interfere with each other?" Ben asks. The three entities have all a pondering expression on their face.

"No… I don't think so." Water says eventually. "Yes… I think Water is right. It is very rare for someone to cultivated multiple manuals for the same path, but I think this one should work. Water gave a manual that strengthens the body, I gave one that cultivates the kitsune parts of you and Azrael gave one that is an external source for the body path. This should definitely work." Boyd says.

"That settles the body path, I will cultivate all your body manuals. Then for the energy path, will it be the same case?" Ben asks again to Water, Boyd and Azrael.

Water, Boyd and Azrael look at each other for a brief moment and then look at Ben and nod all at the same time. "I will be able to cultivate all of them?" Ben asks in disbelief. "Yes." All three say at the same time.

Ben whistles through his teeth. "Won't I be overpowered? Isn't it cheating?" Ben asks. Water scoffs. "You haven't seen cheating. The cultivation world is never fair. You need to experience the cultivation world still. Prepare yourself." Water says while Boyd and Azrael are bobbing their heads. Furiously nodding their heads. "Oh" Ben lets out.

"Now, how do I get started?" Ben asks. "First we all will integrate fully with your body." Water says. "Wait, fully integrate? Didn't I already do that?" Ben asks. "You only connected us to your soul avatar. We are not connected to your soul source and life force. When you called us out for the first time, you connected us to your body." Water says.

"Once we fully integrate into your body, you will receive the cultivation manuals and a law spark from us. Then you will need to form your law seeds yourself, you will know what to do once this happens. You will definitely not fail, we are all humanoid, half our law sparks are needed for a braindead person to form his law seeds, so don't worry.

Once you have done that you will be able to sense the corresponding qi. When reciting the manuals, you will integrate the manuals into your unconsciousness. When you know the manuals, you will call the corresponding qi's towards yourself and follow the manual. That way you cultivate." Water explains.

"Okay, got it." Ben says. "Once I start. What are the cultivation realms?" Ben asks. "For every path there are different names for every realm." Water says.
