The Forsaken Lands, And The Disciple Realm
The Forsaken Lands,
The Lands Abandoned by Humanity. The breeding ground of demons. That is what is the forsaken lands. Many think that the forsaken lands are cursed. Many think that the forsaken lands do not even have a single tree, a complete desert. But is that all true?
The Forsaken Lands, some say that there used to be an ancient kingdom on these grounds, a million Years Ago. That kingdom was so powerful that 20 Star Experts were as common as those in the disciple realm.
Victor Chronis,
Has just arrived in these forsaken lands to start his new chapter. The lands which in the future will be feared so much that their enemies will not even dare to think against them. These lands will become a pillar of humanity. a promise for this continent, a future for its children.
At the Border of the Forsaken Lands,
Crack! Crack! A Space Crack was formed.
Instantly, a 7-foot-tall man arrived from that crack. Slowly, over 120 men arrived from that crack along with a carriage. In this carriage was the heir of time, cultivating without a care in the world.
This was Veyron, along with veyron arriving at the forsaken lands. victor had explained everything to veyron on what needs to be done and victor was casually cultivating his soul and body using his Eclipsing Eternity Codex cultivation technique.
"20 Knights, find all the villages in the nearby area and give me the list of a number of people living in them," said Veyron, continuing.
"Rest 100, form 5 Teams of 20 and start finding the source of corrupted qi and slay any demon or monsters you find, I will stay with the master alongside the butler. Report to me when you find anything."
[.......]
3 Days Later,
Inside a tent where Victor was cultivating.
Victor was cultivating for three days straight. While cultivating, cultivators do not require food, water, or rest. So we were cultivating nonstop for three days.
*crack* *crack*
Victor's body was forming various cracks, along with Victor's soul, which was changing shapes regularly.
*boom*
*boom*
*boom*
*boom*
*boom**boom*
In 3 Days, Victor's soul forging cultivation along with body tempering cultivation had reached astonishing levels, and at this moment, he was about to break through both these cultivations to the Disciple Realm from the Initiate Realm.
*Spinning* *Spinning*
At this moment, the ring embedded with gems started spinning. and finally, after 10 Whole hours of nonstop spinning, in which the vortex inside of the rings was rigorously spinning and concentrating all the qi from the surroundings at it's core was also spinning in the opposite direction to the ring, suddenly the ring stopped. and one of the gems started glowing inside of it. This indicated that the body had crossed it's first realm, reaching the Disciple Realm in all the cultivations.
*woooosh*! *booooooom!*
"Hahaha, Finally! At last, I have reached the Disciple Realm in all three cultivations! And that too when I was not even seriously cultivating."
The Mortal Realms or so they call it, where divided into 5 Realms, The initiate, Disciple, Master, Grandmaster and finally, Paragon. These realms were only there to provide the weak human body a foundation from which they can start their true journey towards cultivation.
Hence, these cultivation levels did not add a single number to the amount of lifespan Victor has. but still, he had finally started cultivating and was on his journey to reach the level his master was.
Yes, victor had started considering Chronis his Master, because he was sure, that it was only because of him that he was able to cultivate and have a good life here.
Back to reality, Victor was really happy seeing that one gem finally glowing bright green in color. it did glow before when he broke through in Qi cultivation but still it was very dim when compared to before.
"Veyron, bring me the reports.", said Victor to Veyron, standing outside the tent.
Now that Victor had started soul cultivation, he could sense that Veyron was standing outside. After all, Veyron was only a puppet. So his soul forging was very low at the moment, which can only be increased as Victor cultivates. That means Veyron's Soul Forging will always be 1 Realm Below Victor. The puppet was designed in such a way that Victor can have full control over it. As for the other knights, they didn't have even a tiny bit of soul forging cultivation since they couldn't cultivate. they do are prone to soul attacks though, because although weak, souls are still souls.
"Here, Young Master.", said Veyron, eyeing Victor's dragon with keen interest,t handing over the paper.
Sensing his gaze, Victor noticed that his pants were gone, probably because of realm breaking, which caused a shockwave to come from outside the body, tearing everything apart. even his boxers.
Anyways, victor sensing his 7-inch Dragon bare open for full view, quickly hid it by equipping the clothes from his inventory.
"Cough. Cough. Ahem. So.. Yes. So there are over 500 Villages with at least a hundred inhabitants surrounding the borders of The Forsaken Lands hmm? oh so there is also a town huh? The Seaside town? but there is no sea nearby..." said victor while reading the reports.
With this many villages, there will be no shortage of labour. after all kingdoms are made of people, not puppets. there is also the Seaside town with at least 10,000 inhabitants. these many people should be enough for now to kick start the kingdom. if we do the math it will be over 60,000 people we can just immigrate from nearby villages and the town. as for the rest, they can simply come from the nearby three kingdoms. the forsaken land borders three kingdoms, namely Solaris, Zephyros, Drelthar and probably borders Thaloryn as well from the ocean that comes after the forsaken lands. The Forsaken Lands where vast. very vast to be exact. if we just measure the area, it would be The size of 2/6th of the whole continent. and mind you 1/6th are water bodies which, some Mostly are part of Drelthar, the island nation.
Victor was imagining the possibilities when suddenly he was interrupted by an Eclipse Knight coming from Veyron's side.
"Lord Veyron! Lord Victor! we have just found a demon settlement. there are over a thousand demons there! we need to do something about them.", said the eclipse knight.
"Calm down and tell me everything in detail.", said victor as he stood up, walking outside the tent.
"Lord Victor, we have found a demon settlement! We also found 4 Mortal Demon Generals and a Mortal Demon Lord There!" said the Eclipse Knight.
Just like humans, demons also had cultivation realms. and demon generals where of grandmaster realms and Demon Lords where those of the paragon realms in human cultivation realms.
"I see, gather all the knights, we will destroy this settlement today at any cost," said Victor.
soon within a minute, all 120 Knights gathered together, kneeling.
"We are here to claim the Forsaken Lands as are home turf that has been occupied by vile demons for centuries. There are over a thousand demons there. some of you might die but don't worry. although you all are puppets, but you all have been given names. and most importantly, you are the first knights of The Eclipse Knights Order. Are you all in this with me?" said victor in a speech.
'magnificent my lord! your aura is the same as it was of the old master..' thought Veyron.
Although Eclipse Knights don't show extreme emotions, they do have some basic emotions. and motivation is something that is required in every knight. and some feelings are always essential. or they will just become killing machines.
"Hyaa! We Are in this together my lord!"
"Let's Show those demons the power of eclipse knight order!"
Although Eclipse knights are of the Paragon realm. They can still lose to numbers. that is why it was essential to do this. as for the general? hehe.. he was so strong that he could fight 10 Demon Lords alone let alone one. and then too come out unscathed.
Although Veyron had a huge build, he was still a middle aged man with yellow hair and one eyepatch looking like Odin in his younger days.
Anyways, soon, Veyron opened another spatial crack, and they arrived at the demon settlement.
