Beatitudes

Origin seals.

" I broke through, I finally did it Astral "

With a smug smile on his face he proudly proclaimed his achievement to perhaps the only one who he was able to really about it, it would have been a big shock and a stunning matter to anyone else but Astral who was well aware of the level of power within Jaden as well as the height of strength he was going to reach in the future had no change in expression as he nodded his head within Jaden's mind space

" Well done, you broke through at an expected pace, perhaps even a slight bit faster than expected.. but that's all there is to it, you shouldn't have your state of mind to get exaggerated due to things as trivial as this, it's only the first stage so if now you're like this how would you behave when you grow even stronger? " With a calm voice he scolded Jaden who did nothing as he scratched his head with an embarrassed expression on.

Sighing he spoke again, " Oh well, I guess you're still young and lively, you're bound to lose yourself in moments like this, I shouldn't stop you. But remember to keep your reactions to a minimal and strive to gain a calm mindset.

" Yes Astral. "

Throughout the whole process of breaking through and his conversation with Astral, there was none the wiser on what transpired, looking around to confirm the peacefulness of the moment he spoke again to Astral,

" So what now, what do I do "

" Well what you're meant to do now is to stop absorbing the energy in the atmosphere and focus on stabilizing the energy within you, you have broken through to the first stage and since you're aware of what it entails, you should know the biggest significance and goal of this realm.... increasing your bodily strength. "

Jaden nodded his head as he listened to what Astral said, he was well aware of the true essence of each stage of the mortal unlocking realm. Astral had enlightened him on this before he even entered the school properly as a student. It was said that previously, far off before in the ancient times before anything ever existed, there was a being, an ultra powerful being who sought out to bring life other than his to existence, and so he set out to do as he did, creating the then four realms and the boundless space within it that contained countless planes and existences, when it came to the point of creating the beings to inhabit the realms, he created in myriad versions and variations the different races that exist in the current times, it was also said that when he created them he felt an attachment to the beings he sculpted from his own hands. So while creating them he gave each and everyone of them a blessing, he bestowed them with the ability to wield the various elements that permeated the atmosphere within the realms as he created them, he made it like that, due to the attachment he felt, and also because of curiosity, a curiosity that came into existence from wanting to see the point they could reach, he wanted to see the point of power and the amount of strength they could possibly wield at their highest level, as he bestowed such powers on them he came to a realization, a realization which no one knew of, as he created each and everyone of them and bestowed them with the powers of affinity he also made it so that each and every one of them created was at the lowest levels of strength, this was something with a reason no one could understand at that moment, perhaps even till now.

Keeping them at their lowest level, he did so with a unique type of strength that never existed since then and yet still exists within all living beings till now.... Seals. Known to everyone as origin seals, he placed a number of seals on all beings of his creation, these seals were not unbreakable seals seen as curses, they were seals that were there to allow the creatures to ascend the steps to boundless strength, to experience the vast meaning of true strength by a steady rise in that same strength, at least that's how they comprehended the intention behind the sealing, it was known since then that breaking through each seal would grant one a kind of ability, that was originally kept away behind the seals, an ability that was a blessing he bestowed on everyone of us.

These abilities were those that the girl whom he still didn't know her full name had stated the first six of in the lecture hall. The first to the sixth of the seals were also said to be the foundational six seals of the mortal unlocking phase that were said to be so because they basically decided the future path that the practitioner would go down.

The first ability - Strength!

The second ability - Speed!

The third ability - Coordination!

The fourth ability - Senses!

The fifth ability - Regeneration!

The sixth ability - Psyche!

These were the six abilities that would decide the road of a practitioner, that would enable a practitioner to go down a path. The six abilities were in themselves not abilities, instead they were bodily functions, functions of the body that could be developed limitlessly, without limit. That was to say that if one was able to properly unearth an ability and develop it to the utmost, one could have limitless strength!, or one could have limitless speed or if one trained properly they could have limitless psyche, any of the six abilities, once trained to it's utmost, could make one reach a level he never thought possible. But of course no one and absolutely no one has actually ever been able to train to the utmost, which in other words implied that no one had ever reached that limitless height. Hence it was deemed as something unreachable by most and was truly limitless in all sense of the word. But although that was said it never stopped anyone from aiming for that level and it also didn't mean that you wouldn't gain mighty powers if you could reach good heights in it.

The level that Jaden was at at the moment was one at the lowest level,and he had only broken through into the first stage,the official beginning of a practitioner's path. But it was nevertheless a true step and beginning as it unlocked one of those seals and allowed him to train to increase one of the six abilities, Strength!

Another reason the academy was so greatly admired was obviously because of their training resources,it was speculated that those who came to rescue humanity from destruction, at the point of their departure had also bestowed various techniques and training manuals to the founders of the academy, thus allowing them to train in unleashing the full potential of strength they could muster. Entering the academy gave one access to those manuals that were regulated within the academy with strict rules on them. At some points in these years after the terrifying invasion, it was said that other people and organizations had actually also gotten their hands on such training manuals which allowed their fame to spread and also receive people as their students, it was said that those people came upon such manuals and all by stumbling on them when they roamed the Earth of that period and even now some still occasionally popped up causing people to rush through the various places in search of their own opportunities. Yet none of them had ever managed to shake the academy not to even mention push the academy of it's pedestal, that was just how the academy was.

" Right now, I should find a way to get my hands on those training manuals, one that suits me an-"

Jaden's calm voice was rudely cut off by a flustered Astral, Jaden couldn't help being confused, wondering what he said.

" What do you mean?!, did you not hear me mentioning the fact that you don't need anything of such to aid you, or perhaps I didn't tell you such. Just keep it in mind that what you have within you, if you check through this planet, through all the vast Star fields, Field regions to the boundless realm itself, and get all such training techniques, they would never be able to surpass what you already have. "

"... What.. I already have? "

With a puzzled expression, Jaden softly said

" Hmph, ignorance, don't you dare deem what I said as false.... have you taken note of the golden pattern that formed when you were breaking through and unlocking the seal of Strength?"

" Yes, I have but- "

" Have I ever made mention of such a thing before when I explained to you about the fundamentals of cultivating and breaking through. "

" No you haven't... what do you mean Astral "

" What occurred within you is something that will never happen to anyone within this realm, it is a technique that is unique and only workable due to it being you who wields it... Because you have the sovereign's essence, although you cannot make use of it at the moment, but due to it, your body has fundamentally been different from others of your race, you are after all at a higher level

compared to them, and you're meant to lead them as their sovereign. "

Excitement bubbled forth from Jaden as he spoke with Astral

" Okay.. but how am I meant to do it."

" I've already made it clear to let not triviality get the better of your emotions.. the pattern is something that is as ancient as it is mysterious, it takes time to comprehend and wield, but with me with you, there should be results at a quicker rate... Just do as i say. "
