Chapter 5 Heaven Unity

"What are we doing out here father?" I asked in curiosity. My 5th birthday was less than a week ago. 'He said there was some surprised but what could it be?' I thought in confusion as I looked around.

We were currently at the top of one of the tallest towers in the Clan Compound, the Heaven Viewing Tower. It was quite the nice area but I was confused as to why he brought me up here.

"Its finally time for you to begin cultivation. Do you know about it or do I have to explain?" My father said with his back turned to me. Hearing this I was beyond shocked, it really was finally time. I had been waiting for this moment for almost 5 years now.

"There wasn't anything on cultivation in the library so could you explain father?" I asked as I really didn't know much. Apart from a few terms that were thrown around here and there I didn't know anything.

"Hmm, then let me explain." He said before turning towards me with a smile on his face. "Cultivation is a way of connecting to the Heavens to gain further power. By becoming one with the Heavens, and understanding it further one can gain unimaginable power."

Listening to this I was quite surprised. 'Isn't it normally stealing from the Heavens?' I thought in confusion, but didn't interrupt my father.

"Cultivation can let you do a lot, for example, you can fly." He said before floating off the ground. "Or you can produce the elements like lightning." As he said that I could see sparks of purple lightning forming in his hands.

"Woah! I can do it too?!" I asked in amazement. While I knew these things were possible in a cultivation world, it was still shocking to see them firsthand. Seeing my reaction my father chuckled slightly.

"Yes once you get strong enough. But this power is quite far away for you right now. First you will need to begin your cultivation journey." He said seemingly wait for my reply.

"And how can I begin?" I asked inquisitively.

"Well its simple really, by forming a Heaven Unity. Cultivation is divided into many Realms and Stages within said Realms, the 1st Realm of cultivation is Heaven Unity. Here you form a Unity between you and the Heavens." My father explained before tossing me a manual.

"This is the True Thunder Scripture, I know you like to read so I wrote some extra explanations inside the manual for you. If you need any help ask me, I'd be more than happy to teach you what I know." He said before walking towards me and ruffling my purple hair.

"Understood father, but why did we need to come up here to do this?" That was a point that confused me. Why bring me up to this tower if he could simply tell me this in my room.

"Well that's simple, its easier to form a Heaven Unity when high up as you're physically closer to the Heavens." Hearing this I understood. It made sense if one thought about it, if you said the Heavens were above then the higher you were the closer you were to the Heavens.

After another brief explanation my father disappeared from the tower and left me alone to read. It was a considerably short book with not much information, but it was enough.

There was an explanation on the different Heaven Unities and what they did along with a scripture that supposedly made forming a Heaven Unity significantly easier.

As my father had explained there were 4 major types of Heaven Unities each one better than the last. And they acted as hard caps on cultivation, so having a strong Heaven Unity was vital.

A Unity Seeking cultivator barely has Unity with the Heavens and can reach the Peak of the 2nd Realm at best, not to mention their cultivation will be extremely slow.

Heaven and Man is the basic Unity most cultivators have allowing them to reach the Peak of the 3rd Realm, their cultivation while faster than Unity Seeking is average at best.

Heaven, Earth and Man was the Unity most geniuses had, it would allow one to reach as high as the 6th Realm of cultivation and would grant a fast cultivation speed. This is the Unity I assumed my father and most top members of the Clan had.

Lastly, Acknowledged this was a Heaven Unity for the true sons of Heaven and if one attained it they'd be called a "Chosen" apparently its only limit on cultivation was the Heavens themselves, and had the fastest cultivation speed by far.

Understanding all this it was obvious which Unity I wanted, but being Acknowledged by the Heavens was harder said than done. Fortunately Heaven Unities had a caveat. Due to their nature while being extremely important they could be improved even if one was all the way in the 5th Stage of Cultivation because changing it wouldn't conflict with one's cultivation base.

In fact most "Chosen" obtained an Acknowledged Unity after being relatively far in their cultivation journey. This filled me with hope. 'So as long as I can get a Heaven, Earth and Man Unity I am set, and then can work on getting an Acknowledged Unity later in life. I guess I can begin cultivating then.'

With that though I began to recite the True Thunder Scripture which I had just memorised. It put me in a trance like state and it felt as if the world itself was turning around me. The sound of thunder echoed in my ears but I simply continued chanting.

After about an hour I stopped. "Nothing." I muttered to myself I was hoping to at least reach Unity Seeking, but it seemed I didn't have any protagonist cultivation talent. 'Then again it did say that even with the True Thunder Scripture most people take at least a week to reach Unity Seeking so I can't be too hard on myself.'

I then continued reciting the Scripture hoping to attain a Unity, this was the start of my long and arduous cultivation journey. Well I say arduous, it wasn't that hard I am a young master.
