people " "I didn't lie it's true," said Claude, Luca stood still he twitched his mouth at his supposed conjecture after a moment Claude asked, "Royce did you make a choice ?"

"mmm" he responded, "then is it going to be me the inviter or someone else?" still sipping the tea with his eyes closed "you don't have to interfere stay at the side and go practice I am going to handle this affair" with that he flew out of the window "little Claude it seemed that we are going to have a new comrade I've to be prepared" Luca stood up and got out of the room, Claude was the only one who remained.

At the library the entrance gave off a majestic vibe, six white pillars were planted at the front it had the style of an ancient Greek palace everything was in white except the doors, they were in dark blue when Naya entered her jaw nearly dropped to the ground from astonishment, the bookshelves apparently were made from white jade that shines in the dark, the books were flying to their supposed places on their own, she advanced closer it seemed that she was in a balcony or something and indeed there were at least five floors underground at the bottom there was a big fountain in the shape of a weird beast he had the body of a dragon but the head and the tail belonged to that of a phoenix it tail was scattered beautifully in the air, the shining seafoam water emerged from it, gliding smoothly to the big water pool, at the bottom a flower inside a circle pattern was carver obviously from precious gems it was breathtakingly beautiful.

looking up there was other five floors above the ground, now turning her head left she saw an old man sleeping in a chair he was snoring, Naya approached him she kept staring at him for an hour not moving from her place because she noticed that his hands that were underneath his sleeves were making some hand gestures continuously "how long do you intend to keep watching me?" finally the old man opened his eyes when he saw her eyes he stopped his tracks in astonishment then composed himself " I am searching for the books that tells about the land and the magic in general" "Oh, then you follow this book he pointed with his finger to a green book who was floating downwards she followed it without glancing at the old man, "why does she have jeweled eyes?, they aren't purple though" wrinkling his hairy thick eyebrows in confusion, naya was in the first underground floor, the first three floors are for general knowledge the forth and the fifth floors are for intermediate magic manuals and cultivation with that she begins reading, enriching her knowledge about the world finally.

(author note: yep congratulation, naya you finally got to know about this world)

This world's name is the inverted globe it had five continents the carpodialk continent where humans live, the oyera the continent of the elves and the beasts, the vlalaron where dwarfs, goblins, and orcs reside, in the draepikira we find the mighty dragon race and lastly the far never reached continent of the nymphs and the fairies the Aiphaes continent, each continent is isolated from the other's, there is no contact between them but there is a one time in a year chance where the vlalaron continent send a ship for the trade-in exchange of one ship from the carpodialk continent the goblins and dwarfs are the most opened race among the other for their keenness to demonstrate their works in craftsmanship especially dwarfs but for the other races there is no connection at all in fact there is some enmity.

As for the phedoria empire was founded 1500 year ago by Lancelot Beaumont he was called the supreme ancestor of the royal family along with the ancestors of the four clans after the wars between the countries they established an alliance called the elder council which it continued to exist until now, the Beaumont family's characteristic is their purple jeweled eyes, they are the clan who specializes in the ancient art of sealing and they have an affinity with lightning their descendants can control it in massive amounts, according to history the supreme ancestor could ascend lightning from the sky, it was regarded as a miracle back then, many believed that he was a god's descendent, Naya let out a chuckle "god descendent? exaggeration is really part of history but purple jeweled eyes?" didn't that evered from the mercenary group have violet eyes? is he one of them?" while turning the pages.

the cardaillon clan have self-healing ability their ability to heal is faster then normal people plus their clan members are well known for their unmatched health, the Coleville clan have an affinity with nature and the wildlife they have a connection with animals, beasts, and even plants, the Duclon clan have the super-strength it's said that they can destroy a wall with a punch.

and lastly, the Liuxian clan have eyes that could sense and perceive what the normal eye can't it's called igneos it's said that their ancestor who was with Lancelot Beaumont could manipulate people with his eyes, "this is an engrossing ability" she thought to herself how could a person control people with his eyes? is it some kind of illusion technique? closing the book and taking another one.

as for the magic system people here most time use magic that had awaken at the age of five, it means that the magic depends solemnly on the person's internal energy they can be magicians, priests, knights...

and they are divided in this order

magician:

1- novice magician

2- apprentice magician

3- initiate magician

4-magus

5-master magician

6-grandmaster magician

7-wizard

8-sorcerer

priest:

1-novice priest

2-apprentice priest

3-initiate priest

4-deacon

5-archbishop

6-chaplain

7-cardinal

8-saint

knight:

1- novice knight

2- apprentice knight

3- initiate knight

4- knight emperor

5- king knight

6- knight sovereign

7-knight warlord

8- paladin

archer:

1- novice archer

2-apprentice archer

3- initiate archer

4- archer master

5- archer grandmaster

6- archer emperor

7- archer ancestor

8- saint archer

each stage has nine levels accept swordsmanship which has ten stages every stage has five levels they depend mostly on Dou qi

unlike cultivation which is absorbing energy from the outside world while practicing martial arts, being a cultivator is rare among people because it isn't a feat for anybody to absorb such pure energy from nature plus to cultivate one must have the sky root and above,

the roots energy of the people in this world

1- bronze root

2- mortal root

3-earthly root

4-silver root

5-spirit root

6-sky root

7-golden root

8-immortal root

9- heavenly root

10-mystic root

the roots are what determine if a person can use energy or not in this world testing it is the primary thing to do, from the silvery root and below we determine that an individual will be a magic-users accept the bronze which means that a person will be a normal citizen they call themselves the offsprings of shoeyer (TL: the primal goddess of the harvest) but for other magic-users and cultivator they are called the ill-bred or wastes, the spirit root is the peak root of magic its wielder has the potential to become a sorcerer with infinite limits and the ability to cultivate dou-qi, the sky root and above is for people who can cultivate immortality.

the cultivation realms in this world follow this order, each stage is divided by beginner, intermediate, and peak level

1-mortal realm: 1-body moderation, 2-Qi condensation, 3-core formation, 4-vasodilation, they begin absorbing energy after removing impurities from their bodies, the bodies can be enhanced by fusing the energy

2-Elementary realm: 1- earth praying, 2- Earth initiation, 3- Earth interpretation, 4- Earth transformation, cultivators here begin sensing the elements in nature (fire, water, air, metal, wood) and condense it into their meridians, in the Earth interpretation we can conjure elements "interesting" Naya said "little girl don't forget that your body is of fire nature sensing elements means that you are going to sense the element that suits your body"xiyue statement broke her dream of becoming the next avatar "mmm" continuing on reading the book.

3- Martial realm: 1- martial practitioner, 2-martial knight, 3- martial lord, 4- martial king, 5- martial emperor, 6- martial ancestor. cultivator here will use their acquired elements and use them to fight, the main focus here is to train the body to its limits and above with the help of manuals.

"xiyue what abilities can I have when I pass through the first level of my cultivation manual?" " First which is important you will get to understand what cultivation means as for the abilities, your body's strength will know some changes and you will control more fire than normal people and get some techniques" hearing this she got excited "what techniques?" "it's for you to discover"

4-great saint realm: 1- primal saint, 2- ascended saint, 3 lama saint, they are feared in the phedoria empire there are only a few people who reached this stage, their number can be counted with one hand it's said that they can make people below them explode from their intense aura.

the equivalent of a cultivation realm is two-stage in the magic realm it means a person in the mortal realm can face a magic user in the novice and the apprentice level, and an Elementary realm can fight against an initiate magician and a magus and so on.

5-the sky realm: 1-lunar/solar expert, 2-sky pristine, 3- sky renowned, 4-quintessential sky lord, it's a legendary realm the continent didn't witness a sky realm cultivator since the great war with bishamon it's said that they can fly and walk on clouds they were seen as immortals after pausing at the word immortal she whispered softly"sky realm wait for me " her first priority is to stabilize her soul in this body, reaching this legendary realm is an obligation for her, clenching her fist even if she had to endure calamities she is going to keep advancing no matter what's coming against her, she continued reading.

people here see it as cheating in a way because they say that the cultivators depend on the exterior too much, while the magic users keep bragging about their potential from using internal force the cultivator, on the other hand, hides their achievements" what kind of thinking is that?" Naya closed the book forcibly obviously they are jealous of their inability to absorb the essence of heaven and earth "how can they think like that, obviously cultivation is stronger" Xiyue chuckle was heard "girl, a cultivator can only start using innate energy which is similar to magic-user at first they are on equal strength, but a cultivator first mindset it to get better and advance further it's different from the magic-users who pursue power just to fight each other and die after living their short life, so after breaking through higher realms cultivation here starts to get its own path as the sky realm is only but the beginning, Naya raised her eyebrow the sky realm isn't the end?" "yes, but the first thing that you need to know about cultivation is that there is no fixed end in the way of cultivation. Its purpose itself is to be the eternal developments".after a moment he continued so whether they see it as cheating or not it doesn't matter"

" xiyue do you know that you are a good teacher, you are an epiphany provider".

he continued chuckling at her praise it seemed that it was his source of satisfaction she knew it, shaking her head at the notion of being associated with a narcissistic "plus if something is scarce in the world it's considered precious" understanding his statement indeed if cultivators are few in this world then mostly they are regarded as gems for the higher institution, she stood up to get out of the library "Xiyue, was the assassin a magic-user or a cultivator?" he was a magic user" " he was just an amateur plus you took him by surprise if you want to compare yourself with real experts you are nothing be it a magic-user or a cultivator it's all about manipulating energy where you are still weak now go to cultivate" in an instant he turned her mood upside down at the notion of her still being weak but she kept calm "just for now," she said while staring at the blue sky he chuckled "yes just for now" what she didn't know is that if her fast progress was known to others, she would be considerate as a genius in a ten thousand year breaking through two levels in a period that didn't pass a week is abnormal what's more it's cultivation.

(Autor note: Naya just don't keep measuring cultivation levels according to Xiyue standards XD).

passing by the old man who was still asleep he was really sleeping like a baby not caring about anything what a weird man!
