Geography And Cultivation

As soon as he returned to his dormitory, he closed the door and sat on the chair. He didn't go to sleep immediately. He saved too many manuals from the library in the system database. Even though he could not learn anything due to lack of Skills Points, he could do something else.

He is new to this world. He don't even know the name of the planet he is in right now. In fact, he don't even know the name of the country here. He don't even know culture, customs, government body if exists and so on. He had no idea about anything.

He always used to live in his room back on earth. He rarely left his room. Because of this Shirley always used to be annoyed with him. She always used to tell him one thing.

'If you go out and learn things from the outside world, then you will have a better survivability option. Only when you have a better knowledge about your surrounding, you could instantly come up with a plan if you are in any trouble.'

Because he felt bored back on Earth, he didn't take her advice to his heart. He used to go out only for Shirley. He didn't want to see her disappointed. So he used to go out with her.

But now things have a change. He is in the cultivation world. He is in the world where he always believed he was supposed to be. There is no need for him to stay lazy just like how he is to be back on Earth.

"System! Show me all the details regarding the Encyclopedia of this world from all the manuals you have saved in your database!" ,Ethan commanded.

[Command Accepted]

[Analysing all the stored data from the database]

[Analysis Completed]

[Recorded 5 books meeting user's requirement]

"Gather all 5 records for me to read" ,Ethan commanded.

Then the system automatically displayed all the books regarding the encyclopaedia of the world he is in right now. He started to read it with as much concentration as possible. With enhanced strength and stamina, his concentration level also increased a little.

Time passed. He didn't go out of his dormitory for two days. He went only to eat food. He didn't go to his library as well.

After two days, Ethan finally understood the general situation of the word he is in. The name of the world he was transported to was as simple as it could be.

Mortal Realm!

This was the name of the realm he is in. The books and manuals about the encyclopaedia of the Mortal World was very clear about every minute details like the number of continents in the realm, all the powerful sects and academies, the amount of area each sects and academies occupied, and so on.

After reading everything, Ethan understood that the Mortal Realm has three continents as per the manuals. They are Grace Continent, Snowflake Continent and Profound Continent. And the Sacred Wind Academy is in the Grace Continent.

According to the description in the ancient manuals, the Grace Continent was the weakest among all the three continents. The strongest cultivator in the Grace Continent is nothing but a small warrior in the Snowflake Continent. As for what his status will be in the Profound Continent, it wasn't mentioned in the manual.

But Ethan's cultivation sense which he accumulated from reading too many Chinese novels was telling him that this Profound Continent might the real deal in the entire world. And that should be his final destination in this world as long as he stays.

He knew that he is not going to stay in this Sacred Wind Academy for long. For now, he is yet to start his cultivation. So he decided to stay in this academy until he accumulated enough strength and feel safe going out.

After learning the geography of this world and remembering important places like powerful sects and forbidden zones, he felt that he is a step closer to the safe zone. Ignorance is the biggest crime. If he didn't read the encyclopaedia of this world, then he would have been an ignorant fool who might walk into the mouth of death due to the lack of knowledge. He truly thanked Shirley for this within his heart.

Later he found another important topic. This topic was very important to him. So he read this topic again and again trying his best not to forget it. Because the thing which made him this crazy is about the cultivation levels existed in this word.

According to what Ethan read repeatedly, there are eight major stages in the cultivation. They are Elementary Stage, Physique Strengthening Stage, Spiritual Roots Cleansing Stage, Meridian Opening Stage, Meridians Activation Stage, Qi Awakening Stage, Vigour Stage and Mortal Ascension Stage.

Elementary Stage has nine levels. In the Elementary Stage, a person will undergo intense physical body training. Not only that, a person will also does the breathing exercise. The physical body training will transform the quality of their physique. While the breathing exercise will let the pure energy of the world enter their organs and clean them.

But doing it successfully is not that easy. The small kids will have very less impurities in their body. So the age to 10-11 was quoted to be the idle age for the cultivation. Without cleaning the impurities one could never do the cultivation.

To do it, one need better quality of the Spiritual Roots. Or else a person had high chance for failure and may never advance in their lives to a new stage.

This is where the quality of the Spiritual Roots, Physique and Spirit will play an important role. The better the quality of the talent pool one had, the easier and more quickly they can advance. The impurities cleaning process will be mire swift and quick.

Ethan took a deep breath after reading this. An Elementary Stage cultivator is clearly not at all considered a true cultivator as it is just the beginning stage. But if one looked at the long term plan, then the Elementary Stage was the most crucial one to reach the highest realm.

Ethan took a deep breath. He knew that the reason why the academy had fallen behind like this is beca not just due to the fall of the quality masters in the war that happened 200 years ago. The survived disciples took the reign and continued the legacy of the academy.

But their knowledge was definitely shallow compared with the fallen masters. And they closed the library as well. Their knowledge regarding cultivation has fallen. And most importantly, they failed to recruit disciples with decent talent pool.

No wonder why the academy has fallen to this state!
