chapter 3: Information
**MC POV:**
Finally, finished reading all the books in the archives. From all the information that I gathered, I have been reincarnated into the cultivation world. Here, we can see many kinds of sects, mythological creatures, and monsters that reside. In this world, only strength matters; it's like a jungle law. The cultivation system of this world is vast and intricate:
1. Vitality Fortification:
- Level 1: Novice Fortifier
- Level 2: Proficient Fortifier
- Level 3: Master Fortifier
2. Qi Symphony:
- Level 1: Qi Senser
- Level 2: Harmonic Channeler
- Level 3: Qi Maestro
3. Root Establishment:
- Level 1: Essence Stabilizer
- Level 2: Foundation Builder
- Level 3: Root Master
4. Spiritual Core Integration:
- Level 1: Core Initiator
- Level 2: Core Integrator
- Level 3: Core Sage
5. Awakening Eclipse:
- Level 1: Soul Awakener
- Level 2: Spiritual Illuminator
- Level 3: Eclipse Enlightened
6. Soul Embodiment:
- Level 1: Soul Refiner
- Level 2: Essence Embodier
- Level 3: Soul Ascendant
7. Transcendental Liberation:
- Level 1: Transcendental Seeker
- Level 2: Ascension Aspirant
- Level 3: Liberation Master
8. Ethereal Confluence:
- Level 1: Ethereal Conductor
- Level 2: Celestial Harmonizer
- Level 3: Confluence Ascendant
9. Heaven's Threshold:
- Level 1: Threshold Guardian
- Level 2: Celestial Aspirant
- Level 3: Heavenly Transcender
10. Mahayana Apex:
- Level 1: Mahayana Initiate
- Level 2: Enlightened Sage
- Level 3: Apex Ascendant
These levels represent incremental progress within each cultivation rank, with cultivators advancing from novice to master within each stage. Each level brings greater understanding, mastery, and power within their respective cultivation ranks.
I wonder if other realms exist like heavenly realms where immortals exist and underworld realms where demons and other dangerous creatures reside.
[closing the eyes and delving deeper into the mind] System: 4 years, 3 months, 3 days.
Template system: 7 years, 3 months, 3 days. "Ugh..." Why is my system locked? I thought I would be overpowered with all of this. Now it's like... the only things that I can use among my wishes are perfected memory and intelligence and unlimited money. And my father said that I can only begin my cultivation when I reach 7 years old.
But my father doesn't know that I've memorized all the cultivation techniques and martial techniques. I've even combined and created my own cultivation and martial techniques that are perfect for my body. Even though I want to cultivate secretly, I can't. I don't even want to think about it. Was it a year ago when I secretly gathered energy for cultivation, that my father and mother noticed me? And they scolded me so much that I don't want to remember it. The only thing that I can do is cultivate my soul since my father can't sense it. Because he trains in weapon arts.
The soul cultivation levels that I know from my father's archives are:
Soul Awakening:
- Level 1: Soul Perception - Initiates learn to perceive the presence and essence of their soul, gaining awareness of its existence within their being.
- Level 2: Soul Connection - Cultivators establish a stronger connection with their soul, deepening their understanding of its nature and its role in their spiritual journey.
- Level 3: Soul Illumination - Practitioners achieve a state of soul illumination, where their soul radiates with inner light, symbolizing their heightened spiritual awareness.
Soul Refinement:
- Level 1: Soul Cleansing - Cultivators begin the process of purifying and cleansing their souls, removing impurities and negative energies that hinder spiritual progress.
- Level 2: Soul Purification - Practitioners deepen their soul cleansing practice, purifying their soul to a greater extent and enhancing its clarity and purity.
- Level 3: Soul Sanctification - Masters achieve a state of soul sanctification, where their soul becomes a vessel of divine purity and enlightenment, free from all impurities.
I wonder if there are realms above this. I have not even reached the first realm because Father has only three basic training techniques for cultivation: The Soul Refinement Method, the Soul Connection Technique, and the Soul Projection Technique. I have combined these techniques into one with three levels, and it will be the foundation for my future.
I call this technique the 'Celestial Soul Integration Technique,' and its three levels are:
1. Soul Purification and Alignment
2. Spiritual Resonance and Empowerment
3. Astral Integration and Exploration
Right now, I can only use Soul Purification and Alignment since my soul has not reached the first stage of cultivation. Ha... if only my system was awakened, the time to cultivate would have been shortened, and I could laze around all day.
[slapping his cheeks] No, I should be thankful that I can use perfect memory and intelligence to improve my technique, rather than being depressed about the system. I am sure the system will awaken, and my power will increase rapidly.
Right now, I am in the city called 'Talon's Edge,' which resides in the 'Feathered Empire.' The nearby sects are the Black Feather Sect, Divine Vulture Sect, and Frostbite Feather Sect, where my father works as a hunter for the Black Feather Sect.
The world is made up of 10 different continents, some also call them realms. They are:
1. Celestial Aviary Realm
2. Vulture's Domain
3. Feathered Empire
4. Plumage Realm
5. Avian Kingdom
6. Winged Dominion
7. Talonland
8. Beakhold Realm
9. Feathered Enclave
10. Skyborne Province
Each continent has at least one Mahayana apex realm cultivator, who is in seclusion. I am sure of it, even though the archives of Father only said the maximum realm reached in today's age is only the Transcendental Liberation Realm.
At least I have got all the basic information that I need in this world to survive and learned the languages [speak, write, and read] of the world.

revised version
MC POV:
Finally, after years of patience and meticulous study, I've finished reading all the books in the archives. From the wealth of information I've gathered, it's clear that I've been reincarnated into a world of cultivation. This realm, teeming with sects, mythological creatures, and fearsome monsters, operates under the ruthless law of strength—a jungle where only the powerful thrive.
The cultivation system here is vast and intricate, divided into ten realms:
Vitality Fortification:
Level 1: Novice FortifierLevel 2: Proficient FortifierLevel 3: Master Fortifier
Qi Symphony:
Level 1: Qi SenserLevel 2: Harmonic ChannelerLevel 3: Qi Maestro
Root Establishment:
Level 1: Essence StabilizerLevel 2: Foundation BuilderLevel 3: Root Master
Spiritual Core Integration:
Level 1: Core InitiatorLevel 2: Core IntegratorLevel 3: Core Sage
Awakening Eclipse:
Level 1: Soul AwakenerLevel 2: Spiritual IlluminatorLevel 3: Eclipse Enlightened
Soul Embodiment:
Level 1: Soul RefinerLevel 2: Essence EmbodierLevel 3: Soul Ascendant
Transcendental Liberation:
Level 1: Transcendental SeekerLevel 2: Ascension AspirantLevel 3: Liberation Master
Ethereal Confluence:
Level 1: Ethereal ConductorLevel 2: Celestial HarmonizerLevel 3: Confluence Ascendant
Heaven's Threshold:
Level 1: Threshold GuardianLevel 2: Celestial AspirantLevel 3: Heavenly Transcender
Mahayana Apex:
Level 1: Mahayana InitiateLevel 2: Enlightened SageLevel 3: Apex Ascendant
These levels represent incremental progress within each cultivation rank, with cultivators advancing from novice to master. Each level offers greater understanding, mastery, and power within their respective realms.
I wonder if realms beyond these exist—perhaps celestial realms where immortals dwell or underworld realms inhabited by demons and other dark entities.
[Closing my eyes and delving deeper into my thoughts]
System Status: 4 years, 3 months, 3 days remaining.
Template System Status: 7 years, 3 months, 3 days remaining.
"Ugh..." I groan inwardly. Why is my system locked? I thought it would make me overpowered. Instead, I'm left with only perfected memory and intelligence and unlimited wealth at my disposal. My father mentioned that I can only start my cultivation when I turn seven.
But what he doesn't know is that I've memorized all the cultivation and martial techniques from his archives. I've even combined them to create my own techniques, tailored perfectly for my new body. Though I yearn to cultivate in secret, I'm unable to do so. I still remember the scolding I received a year ago when my parents discovered me trying to gather energy for cultivation. The memory is one I'd rather forget.
The only thing I can do now is cultivate my soul since my father, who specializes in weapon arts, can't detect it.
I've discovered the soul cultivation levels from the archives:
Soul Awakening:
Level 1: Soul Perception - Initiates gain awareness of their soul's presence and essence.Level 2: Soul Connection - Cultivators deepen their understanding and connection with their soul.Level 3: Soul Illumination - Achievers radiate with inner light, symbolizing heightened spiritual awareness.
Soul Refinement:
Level 1: Soul Cleansing - Begins the purification of the soul, removing impurities.
Level 2: Soul Purification - Enhances clarity and purity of the soul.
Level 3: Soul Sanctification - Achieves divine purity, free from all impurities.
I wonder if there are even higher realms. My father's archives only mention up to the Transcendental Liberation Realm, but I'm confident there are more advanced stages beyond this.
I've synthesized the techniques I've learned into a single method I call the 'Celestial Soul Integration Technique,' which has three levels:
Soul Purification and Alignment
Spiritual Resonance and Empowerment
Astral Integration and Exploration
At present, I'm only able to use the first level: Soul Purification and Alignment. My soul hasn't yet reached the first stage of cultivation. If only my system were awakened; my progress would be accelerated, allowing me to relax more.
[Slapping my cheeks] No, I should be grateful for my perfect memory and intelligence. They are invaluable assets in refining my techniques, even if the system is currently dormant. I'm confident it will awaken soon, and my power will increase rapidly.
Currently, I reside in the city of 'Talon's Edge,' part of the 'Feathered Empire.' The nearby sects include the Black Feather Sect, Divine Vulture Sect, and Frostbite Feather Sect, where my father works as a hunter.
The world is divided into ten continents, also known as realms:
Celestial Aviary Realm
Vulture's Domain
Feathered Empire
Plumage Realm
Avian Kingdom
Winged Dominion
Talon land
Beakhold Realm
Feathered Enclave
Skyborne Province
Each realm has at least one Mahayana apex cultivator who remains in seclusion. According to my father's archives, the highest known cultivation realm in today's age is the Transcendental Liberation Realm.
At least I have acquired all the basic knowledge needed to navigate this world and have mastered the languages required to speak, read, and write.
