Chapter 12: Awakening the Chaos Scripture

The Kapoor Family's Cultivation Pavilion gleamed under the soft spiritual light of Frostgate City's upper district. Rich with ancient inscriptions and dense qi, it was where the elite refined their foundation — and

where Zero was headed now.

Masked, calm, and unreadable.

He walked to the front counter, where a disciple in elegant robes bowed slightly.

"Senior, how may I assist?"

"I want the highest-tier cultivation room," Zero replied plainly.

The disciple hesitated, measuring him. But when 10

Gold Coins clinked onto the jade tray, all doubt vanished.

"Of course. That would' the upper heavenly Chamber — 10 hours."

He handed Zero a glowing jade card.

"This is your cultivation hour token. It will store your unused time if you leave early."

A quiet servant in a silver robe arrived to escort him.

Upper Heavenly Chamber - Room 09

The chamber was vast and sacred.

A crystal ceiling reflected starlight. The air buzzed with purified qi. In the center of the room, an ancient white jade platform pulsed softly.

"Please insert your jade card to activate the formation," said the servant.

Zero stepped forward, placed the card into the center slot, and felt the room hum to life.

[Cultivation Room Activated: 10 hours Remaining]

The servant bowed and left in silence.

4 System Surge: First-Time Breakthrough

The moment Zero sat down, crossing his legs over the platform - something clicked deep inside his soul.

[System Notification: Hidden Task Completed]

[Task: First-Time Cultivation]

[Reward: Primordial Cultivation Manual Unlocked]

The temperature dropped. Light dimmed. And from above, an illusion descended...

A swirling cosmos of stars and chaos.

Chaos Scripture: Void Origin - Explained

The scripture didn't focus on one element. It rejected all systems. It didn't follow fire, water, wind, or lightning.

It embraced chaos — the raw, infinite source before elements ever existed.

"Most cultivators walk a path laid by others."

"I... will forge a path never taken."

Void Origin did not absorb qi from the world. It converted void energy into power — energy from silence, nothingness, the gaps between dimensions.

It offered:

[Form True Void]

Rapid Breakthrough Begins

As Zero began chanting the scripture's first verse, his dantian twisted and collapsed... then rebuilt itself under Primordial laws.

Level 2 → Level 3

Level 3 → 4 → 5

Level 6 → 7 → 8

9... and finally...

Level 10 - Peak of Mortal Stage (Qi Cultivation

Complete)

[Qi Foundation Established Under Primordial Law]

[Next Stage: Foundation Condensation]

His aura pulsed outward — then instantly vanished, as the Chaos Scripture cloaked him automatically.

Even the elders monitoring the formation saw... nothing.

Internal Monologue

"Primordial cultivation doesn't just make me stronger..."

"It removes the chains others are bound to."

"I am not walking their path."

"I am building my own."

He slowly opened his eyes — which now reflected stars and the abyss.

[Do you wish to continue?]

[YES] V /NO

Zero pressed YES.

"Let's see how far the void can take me..."
