The information about bloodlines satisfied some of his curiosity but also raised many more questions. 'What kind of a being was that to have a bloodline that the strongest in the universe could not ignore? Is my father also a royal or a noble to have a bloodline? I'll probably get the answer to that when i travel to the capital city.' Max decided not to ask about the Ashborne bloodline and asked the other thing he wanted to know " Father, what about beasts that have a 100% purity in their bloodline?" Max asked with curiosity burning in his eyes.
" A beast with 100% purity, you will rarely find any beasts with that purity as any beasts born with 100% purity progress through the mortal realm like breathing and they can potentially reach the peak of immortal ranks. Now, let me tell you about Awakening, it only happens when a person is between 16 or 18. A person can awaken but they might never discover it because they might not be able to buy a cultivation manual to check. Awakening is the process of realizing that you hold potential in cultivating. If you have potential, you can start cultivating. As for the cultivation realms. There are 5 cultivation realms in the mortal world, the higher realms will progress as you travel into an immortal world or a higher one. The 5 cultivation realms are- 'body tempering', 'qi refining', 'foundation',' spiritual core', and 'nascent soul' realms. For higher realm you have to challenge the gatekeeper of this world to ascend when you reach peak of 'nascent soul' realm.
In the body tempering realm, there are 9 levels similar to that of qi refining and foundation. In the first three realm level you strengthen your body, making it strong enough to bear the strain of cultivating qi inside you body. In level 3-6, you strengthen your mind. In level 6-9, you strengthen your soul, these levels are very important as they can decide whether you can ascend to an immortal world after reaching the peak of 'nascent soul' realm.
In 'qi refining' realm, your body absorbs strands of qi one by one. For every 50 strands of qi you absorb, you gain a level. But in some cultivation, the cultivator would require more strands of qi, it helps him build a stronger base for future if he managed to ascend and become an immortal, these are special cultivating techniques used only by royals or high ranking noble houses.
Once you have gained 450 strands of qi in your body at the least you can proceed to the next realm of cultivation, 'foundation' realm. This is the most important base realm(the first three realm), this is the realm that determines most of your path of cultivation. It opens up your meridians and strengthens them to let the surrounding qi gather in your body. You awaken your Qi sense at the first allowing a person to have view of his surrounding using qi, its range increasing with every level and realm increase.
In second level, you can start to gather the natural qi inside your body nourishing and strengthening your meridians. In third level, you unlock the five main meridians in the body, four in the limbs and one in the chest. In fourth and fifth level, you refine those meridians, removing any impurities and letting them hold greater power. In sixth level, you achieve stable Qi flow into your body in its natural form. In seventh level, the qi gathers near the lower abdomen and starts to compress. In eighth level, the qi becomes denser and denser until it turns into liquid, increasing the amount of qi you can release by a large factor.
In the final and ninth level, you form a spiritual pillar to support all the future realm and also gain elemental comprehension and resonance. Gaining elemental comprehension is very important, you can control elements with greater power and flexibility as your comprehension increases. In the mortal world, the comprehension is limited to perfect but you can it to sovereign if you have a great affinity for the element. With the perfect comprehension you can form, shape, and fuse other elements together to form attacks and with sovereign comprehension you can form domain seeds or concepts based on your understanding of elements." Alaric finally finished his lesson with that about cultivation and gave Max lot of thing to ponder over. Anastasia and Alaric looking at Max and seeing him so serious, looked at each other and smiled." Alright, I think you have enough to think about Max and its nearly sunset, go rest, I'll call you when the dinner is served." Anastasia dragged him into his room and made him lay down. Max's room was simple, plain looking with no decorations on the walls. It was a small room of 10*12 ft with two door, one connecting to the living room and the other one to the bathroom.
