"Hah..! Don't even sweat it a lowly Golden Core realm cultivation technique is not even worth a dime with what I just gave you, It's a supreme technique which can be used to cultivate till one reaches the Void transformation realm and maybe even the legendary Deity realm but no body ever got to that point but now that's different in this new world abundant energy called mana is everywhere and is almost unexhaustible but let's stop it at that for now, get ready and cultivate and teach your people what to do and hete take this..." I then gave Tian Xian jade bottles of pills but it wasn't enough so I just opened my inventory that I made by breaking a void and making a small space for myself
After that I retracted my consciousness and got out of the Four Mystical Island and now am here in the Plateau.
Nyx slowly opened his eyes and seeing the soul clone he made was done, a dark mana was covering the whole soul clone I suspected it was because of my affinity of my vampire psyche but with this I can easily recreate my ego and impart my knowledge to this soul clone and my father and friends would not be able to know what this is and think of this as just a mysterious master and hoped it worked as it was now I need a fake identity in order to convince them.
Inside the seemingly unfinished palace they created using a gigantic magic circle Nyx was now living in a future palace but the inside was still incomplete and empty inside and the forest and the black elves also said this whole plataue might be made out of mithril as a giant skeleton can also be vaguely seen at the bottom.
But now all that was needed was to convince her father that this his master who was a disciple of a now fallen god.
"Let's see... after making this soul clone I need to give it my knowledge and but it should already have a part of my memories and if I'm done with imparting my memories I only need to get my father and everyone here for my plan to work" I then stood up as I once again imparted my memories I only need to seal my memories to someone and it's easy enough to do that for me but for anyone else they are only harming their own consciousness if they don't know how to do it in the first place.
Nyx's fingers then shone with a mysterious silvery glow as he used a soul sealing technique and hit the forehead of the soul clone as dozens of runes started to take shape from the forehead to every corner of the soul clones body and after a while the soul clone started to move and converse with Nyx as he started his plan, Nyx made sure that he used his past voice when he was still Xiao Rong as to make sure they don't suspect anything else.
"Ahem... remember our plan is to make sure my or our father agrees to our ideas and use you to slowly let our secrets be known and what's more we need to let the people in the Grannar village migrate to this village as soon as possible, we don't know what other tricks that fellow might do and we won't be able to protect every villagers with our current power and we need to make a sect in order to have a governance system in developing cultivators of our own and make sure to make my friends and families inheret my knowledge and create a village of my own and let modern technology thrive for better living for the people that doesn't want to be a cultivator and not just that I also want to sleep in a comfy bed and eat modern foods with sauce and spices and I wanna eat rice..! Got it..?!" I then almost choked the soul clone and sounded like I was forcing my own soul clone the clone then nodded nervously as I patted his cloud like shoulders.
"Got it, don't worry I can take care of such easy things" The soul clone said with an eerie voice and nodded to Nyx.
'Urghh... this is so weird talking with my own consciousness it's kinda embarrassing, but with this I can go further with my plan... I want to create a sect and make a strong force enough to make any Kingdom fear us but before that I don't even know is they had a trup card other than that demon near the peak of Golden Core realm what if this world has other tricks up their sleeves for that I need to infiltrate their own city and know their customs and local powerhouses...'
"I need to go to school... haaa... I didn't think a four hundred and fifty plus year old man would suddenly have to go to school hahaha but I don't even know if we are allowed at out age yet..? I mean this is a medieval era that I'm in hmmm... but that might actually also be enjoyable a life full of leisure..." As I imagined and mumbled to my self I exited the rough unfinished palace and slowly walked to the edge of the Plateau it took me a wholr five minutes to just walk and the sun's heat wasn't friendly either I sweater so much but remembered my father and the others can't fly or use any flying technique yet as I haven't teach them yet.
"Huh..? I guess I can use this time to know more about magic because this last few months all I've done is cultivate but still only managed to get to the Sky rendering realm but now I'm at the peak of Sky rendering realm in the past this would be considered as a miracle and I would be treated as a genius because normally one would need at least ten to fifteen years in order to achieve this level if one only uses normal pills and some half assed spirit arrays but for me that is well versed in both... it is as easy as pie! But it's not really that great since I don't know what kind of level other people have in this world and if the gods are true and their story are also true... then they have been living for more than hundreds of thousands of years and their level must at least be at the Void transformation realm or at the legendary Deity realm..." I then got chills in my back thinking this possibilities so I shrugged my shoulders as I imagine a giant stairs made out of earth.
The earth rumbled as the plateau statted to shake soon the cliff face of the plateau that Nyx were on started to have a bulge of a shiny silvery rock but suddenly stopped after it reached about half a meter tall on the side of the cliff.
"...hah... what the heck, this is much harder than it seems I clearly imagined a giant stairs but this is harder than it seems my spiritual energy is not even doing anything with magic... is it possible that it isn't related to magic at all..? Hmm... let's see imagination and spiritual energy... now that I think about it there is an energy called mental strength that was used by body cultivators... it was an ancient trchnique" I then tried to remember what I learned back then.
'If I remember correctly... a cultivators body has inner strength called QI gong... QI can make the body burst with power but cultivating that energy is very hard one could train for hundreds of years and only reach the Silver body refinement realm and can only do little things they can only fight with someone with their the same realm and win but not more than that but other body cultivators can fight someone with the same realm without using their own Heavenly QI, and if I'm right Body refinement land or the Battle realm which is a certain world has an ancient method into strengthening this QI gong which one would use their mental energy mental energy is the same with QI gong but it only can exist on one owns brain or consciousness and use the mental energy to awaken ones own QI gong to their limit which helps them in body cultivation... if I'm right which I should be the chant should be...'
*murmur*
Nyx then started chanting in the end of the cliff face and Nyx's forehead started to glow as both mana and spiritual energy started to condense and formed a lightning like seal in Nyx's forehead and soon his body started radiating an enormous amount energy as his veins started to show up Nyx had beads of sweats as his clothes eas drenched in his sweats.
'Fuuu... just a little bit more and the mental seal shoul be finished but my body is aching so much..! I haven't opened all my acupoints yet and now I forcefully let my QI gong ran wiled in my body... but this is also a blessing now my blocked meridians should be fully opened and the energy circulation would be a lot better I don't need the Meridian cleansing pills now that I quenched my own meridians by a more purer method which is my own QI gong... but sadly I wasted this opportunity I could have used this when I am at the foundation building stage which is a different realm before going to the Golden Core realm in which one would need to build their foundation and stabilise their own cultivation in order to prepare to break through the Golden Core realm the longer ones break through the stronger and more bigger their Golden Core will be and this is where body cultivation will be most usefull to create a stronger body means the body has a lot more capacity to intake Heavenly QI but if one doesn't do that and hit past their limit they will go into QI deviation which will result in one having a heart demon making their cultivation progress more slowly in the future and when even one hits a higher cultivation there is a chance his heart demon would devour him and turn into a demonic cultivator with his deviated QI... but I don't need that sh*t I need mental strength to control my mana more smoothly... I hope..?'
After Nyx's mental strength was done his mind became more stronger and his thought process was now a hundred times better but his body was aching all over but now his QI was already so much that it has almost reached the Silver refinement body but his QI gong and body cultivation was still at the Bronze level at it's peak but now his body is stronger and can do a bit more about his sword technique.
Suddenly the earth rumbled and the Plateau started to shake a bit Nyx was on top of it trying his best to make a stair case of about more than five hundred meters downwards but it wasn't as easy as just making it using magic Nyx felt his concentration has reached of Nirvana realm cultivator.
'This is ridiculous I didn't think using mental strength would affect magic that much but it seems my imagination is much clearer thanks to the secret technique only past down in the battle realm... although it's called the battle realm it's a world four times the size of earth and almost all the cultivators are crazy about body cultivation and this crazy ancient technique can not only boost my strength but also my magic and it's been almost a minute now and I've fullu imagined a gigantic staircase with giant pllars supporting it's body to float in the air but it's been already almost a minute now and it's not stopping the mana usage is too much that even if a Golden Core realm cultivator were to use all his QI and even burn his life essence then he may able to help me but this is just ridiculous if not for mans being so dense than QI I would be totally exhausted and died by now... urgh... I hope this ends soon, I need to eat a mana gathering pill and meditate at the same time in order to finish this humongous staircase for my friends and family..." I then sat to the hard rocku ground as the sun was not hot enough the rocky ground I was sitting on was also just as hot
I then used my special inventory that I created and took ten bottles of mana gathering pills each bottle has about ten pills and each time I ate one and use my cultivation method and slowly but surely my mana was being replenished but the rate that this earth magic I'm using is draining my mana way too fast and I almost thought I would collapse before even completing this giant staircase.
Nyx wasn't sure at this point if he can do such a thing with magic but he has seen many op MC do it anime and manga and wanted to try it, some even made castle using nonsensical magic and only explained that one needs to have a huge amount of mana and that was what Nyx just did imagination and mana but he didn't really think this would be possible.
After some time the small lamp of silvery metal started to grow from the side of the giant cliff face of the plateau and formed a giant staircase but what Nyx didn't expected was that it's mana usage was absurd but with his efforts his mana reserves were slowly being sucked dry that the QI gathering pills aren't doing much, Nyx had a mana pool that even a Golden Core realm would pale in comparison as his mana pool was five times that of a Golden Core realm third layer would be dumbfounded by how much mana Nyx had.
"Urghh... I can feel my meridians being slowly damaged by the sudden outburst of mana at this rate I'll receive a backlash at this point but that doesn't matter a day of rest should heal all my injuries because of my special constitution..." I then just gritted my teeth as my sweats started to cover my eyes and felt it sting but I can feel it the staircase is about to be finished.
As the plateau shook it caused a small earth quake as the foot of the plateau suddenly bulge and a silvery giant pillar sprung out side by side a total of ten pillars if one counted.
The giant silvery pillars then started to meet with a floating platform in the air as this happened the others couldn't help but also see it Terran who was half way down the giant cliff face was stunned in seeing such abnormal movement in the earth a giant platform that seemed to have extended from the plateau started to move downwards at a slow speed and formed like a giant staircase the staircase was suddenly relecting a radiant light that even Terran can see it from how far he was, he was at least two hundred fifty meters and the light was very strong it was as if a mirror was two hundred and fifty meters away from Terran and was gazing into him from a distance.
"What... just what is that giant glowing stairs forming in that plateau..." Terran wondered so he hurriedly used his earth magic to make more platforms much faster.
Meanwhile, Helbert, Paul and the elves and the rest were all dumbfounded they were about only a hundred meters away from Nyx and can clearly see that a giant staircase was being formed out of nowhere but they can feel an enormous amount of mana.
"Young master... just how much of his power that he didn't show us yet... only Arch mages can have such power and his mana... not even an Arch mage can have such a large amount of mana pool" Helbert said as he was intimidated by Nyx's power and the giant staircase he was creating out of nowhere.
"Nyx..? I can feel an enormous mana... but I didn't think it was Nyx's mana in the first place..!" Paul said as he heard Helbert's claims.
The dark elves were also stupified as their grand earth magic that can make a fortress in one day is just a childs play compared to Nyx's magic and power and what Nyx was standing on was a very special rare rock called mithril and is about ten to fifteen times harder than any normal rocks but when it is taken and processed by a master blacksmith it can be an amazing almost indestructible metal called Mithril, Mithril is only the second rarest ore to be found and is very hard to find as it is like it's counter part dark iron ore which is an ore that has the same texture and color as a Mithril but it can not even be compared to a mithril ore when it's been refined by a master blacksmith and made into a weapon it's hardness can even slice rocks in half like papers and the ability to enchant a Mithril iron is the best among all the metals and irons that can be found unlike the indestructible iron Adamantite which is impossible to enchant except for some relics of the gods that has been enchanted by divine powers no other Adamantite weapons, armors, shields, spears and etc. only gods has the ability to do so but Nyx has already defied the normal logic of power in this world by being able to cast such an earth shaking magic and not even being an Arch mage.
*Murmur*
The elves and dark elves and the beast mans were all talking to themselves as they saw this earth bending magic being unfold before their eyes.
"How amazing... master isn't lying to us about this cultivation thing he is talking about... only a god can do such miracles, and not being able to cast even a one circle magic he already is able to do such magic... normally mages utilize both their own mana and the surrounding mana in the area and create a magic circle to stabilize their magic but master... I don't even see such magic circle can't grasp what kind of magic this is only Arch mages can do silent casting and cast magic without a magic circle supporting their magic but without a magic circle that kind of magic is weak and unstable but this... this is even more solid than any Arch mages magic without a magic circle..! Even in our elven Kingdom sir Tyrone the tyrant dragon slayer a tittled Arch mage who has been living for at least a thousand years old and a high elf is only able to cast catastrophe magic at beast and can even do a little bit of dragon tounge magic but we have never heard of a Mage able to cast this kind of magic..." Elena was sweating as she looked so dumbfounded that her knees started to tremble after she saw the giant stairs now slowly being made into a full stair and giant pillars started to emerged from the ground and meet with the giant silvery floating stairs in the air and solidified.
"So now you believe in master..? Hmph..! I believed in him the moment he was able to shatter my most powerful magic and even able to contend with an S class magical beast and make it submit with only one sword swing!" Flora looked at Elena smugly as Elena suddenly fall to the ground.
Elena was very proud of their Elf race as they were one of the most ancient races that inhereted a gods blood and their achievement in magic is far superior than humans have but most of them focuses on nature magic but now it seems that one of mother natures magic earth that they were also proud of was being rob by them by their master Nyx who used a magic beyond their understanding.
Meanwhile Nyx was already panting and was sweating heavily as he didn't think a simple earth magic creating a stair case made out of stone would drain his magic by this much but after eight minute of such grief Nyx felt his whole body was aching and his lack of bodily moisture made it worst his vision was slowly fading and Nyx's meridians were also damage and he needed time to recover but at this rate he would need to sleep and would hinder his plan if something unexpected happens.
"... Water... water... can I use water magic..?" As I was thinking such thing I only thought of water is made by the formula of H2O and soon water magic started to drip and gather moisture from the air and used Nyx's low mana reserves and managed to somehow use water magic.
*Gurgle*
*Gurgle*
*Burp*
'What just happened..?'
After drinking the small water ball that formed in front of his left arm Nyx then called his soul clone to get ready for their acting.
"Are you okay..?" The soul clone asked.
"I'm alright but my meridians are damage but the damage is being repaired I only need to gather enough mana to speed up the process..."
"Hmm... can't you use healing magic..?"
Nyx looked at his soul clone dumbly as he forgot that he has such magic and this world have those miraculous magic.
"Ahhh... Ahem, let me try..." I then focused as I remember that magic is just like an array and used my healing magic.
*Fwoosh*
Soon a green glow started to form under Nyx while he was meditating and his damage veins healed ten times faster than normal, with his normal regenerative power is due to his vampire psyche and with using mana he can heal a severed limb in about a day but with this kind of magic he only needs minutes to heal a severed arm.
"Haha... what an amazing world... healing magi, elemental magic, enchanting and even some magical beast... one day I'll roam this world and have adventure!" I smirked as I felt my damaged meridians started to heal faster and his ruined veins by also started to heal.
"Phew... I'm almost done healing my body, all I need to do now is gather mana to strengthen my self because I somehow feel very fatigue after using those much mana..." I then took a sigh of relief as I felt my body is much better.
---------------------------------
Meanwhile Terran was now closing to the ground and can't see the gigantic stairs clearly anymore because of the giant tall trees but what he didn't noticed was the grass in this particular area had a blue hue and the mana around was very dense much denser than above ground
Terran then used his wind magic and used wind trail to speed up while he ran in the unknown terrain he saw some new trees that he didn't knew before the trees had blue roots but going upwards they looked more natural brown color and had a green leaves but on the roots to a meter of the tree had a weird blue rune.
'Just what is this place..? This trees has been living for more than a thousand years old and has gathered so much mana that it has gained a spirit rune of itself... Nyx just what secrets are you hiding from us, or it might be because of his master... that must be it'
Terran looked worried for Nyx and just ran through the forest and a minute later he saw Helberts group and also the forest elves and dark elves that he saw who helped them back on the demons attack but he didn't know they also had this much beast man but he saw Helbert and Paul.
Terran skidded as he stopped from his tracks and stopped ten meters away from the group and panted while sweating a little bit.
"Sir Terran..." Helbert greeted Terran like a knight and bow down to him with one arm as a sign of respect
Paul also bowd down but he panicked because Terran was a noble maged as so as the others Elena bowed down the same with Helbert Flora also bow down to Terran as a sign of respect to her master Nyx.
"Sir Terran, what in the world had happened..?" Helbert asked with a worried expression as he saw Zira in Terran's arms and felt her life force was gone.
Paul on the other hand didn't reacted and just listened to them converse as well as the elves.
Elena who was a forest elves and know many nature magic can feel the life force of any being using the power of the wood element and she felt Zira was already gone from this world even a tiny bit of her soul was gone and it was not normal for a soul of a deceased to be gone this fast.
"... She's gone..." Terran slowly turned his head to Zira and looked at her lifeless body as his eyes locked to Zira's beautiful body.
"What..?! How did that happen..." Helbert was so shocked with Nyx's might and power it was close to impossible for any monster to harm his family when he rushed out to save them but it seems their opponent was stronger than expected.
"We faced the undead... I was being encircled by them and didn't managed to come and see what happened... but I felt it, that monster who took Zira's life... was at least an SSS class monster it self destructed and dragged Zira down with her then Nyx also arrived at the same time with me but he was much faster so he must have known what happened..." Terran said as his tone was full of sadness.
"But don't young master Nyx have healing magic..?" Helbert asked.
"He tried... but don't you remember that undead magic had a special property that can corrode one's flesh and body, he tried and somehow managed to heal her but her life force was being corroded by the undead mana and didn't managed to save her life..." Tears then started to drip down Terran's checks as it drip down to Zira's face and slowly fell to the ground.
"I'm sorry sir Terran... we were too late to act..." Helbert said with a sad tone as he knows how it feels to lose someone who you really love.
"What are you sorry for..? I was also useless at that time, Nyx was even faster than me" Terran smiled hysterically at Helbert.
"Ahem... even so we were supposed to rescue you since you weren't able to find your way her for a whole day... with your magic and ma'am Zira's physical strength it would only take you over fifteen to thirty minutes to arrive here but it took you a whole day which means something happened and young master Nyx was... he asked his master for help and found out you were trapped in the forest in a giant magic circle casted by an unknown being..." Helbert stopped for a moment and harrumphed.
'I almost said young master Nyx's plan and almost let sir Terran discover his secret... he said it wasn't time yet so I should follow young master's plan... and his mother being killed I feel he has some other plan if a god were to bestow his memories to Nyx then there should be somekind of idea for reviving the dead... but it is mostly banned because some reviving methods are extremely cruel and evil but young master Nyx isn't like that... anyway he already made us stairs to go up to so it must mean we should follow him up now.'
"Sir Terran... we should go up, young master Nyx has already invited us" Helbert bowed like a knight and showed Terran the way with his hands as his armor clang and the others also looked at the way to the grand plateau so they started to march.
Terran nodded and followed Helbert as they started to run Helbert's armored made iron sounds as he ran through the forest whilr Paul followed behind as well as the forest elves and dark elves but the beast man were hesitant and felt they weren't invited.
"Huh..?" Paul looked back and noticed the beast man tribe didn't move and looked hesitant.
"What are you doing? You should come with us, sir Helbert already told us to follow him" Paul said with a dumb expression.
"B... But... but is it alright..? is it alright for us beast man to come up with you master's friends..." The Raccoon beast girl said.
"Don't worry it might seem very bad but I believe Nyx already had plan... after all he was chosen by a god and he is quite friendly and, and a pretty good friend..!" Paul said with a smile on his face his aura made the beast man tribes to believe after all they weren't treated as slaves but even granted freedom and had a home to sleeo and warm clothes to wear.
Elena and Flora heard Paul's honest remark to Nyx and they felt very happy and heard Nyx's friend say this and what Nyx has shown them so far was really the same as Paul describe he is good to them and friendly but this time Nyx need their help and they must meet with him
The beast man then ran and a particular small silver haired beast girl also ran amongst them and blushed as he heard the words of Paul and looked at the Plateau.
