Pahad Palace

In the morning, Aditya wakes up early. He cleans his body and dons new clothes: a blue silk kurta and white cotton pajama.

He opens the balcony door and settles into a chair, gazing out at the breathtaking view of Bright City. Aditya resides on the 4th floor of a 6-story palace, which boasts over 100 rooms. Surrounding the palace are approximately 500 compounds for clan members and around 2,000 small houses for the servants.

Perched atop a hill, the palace's front overlooks the city below, while the Nile Beasts forest lies behind it. The city itself boasts a population of around 200,000, visible in a circular formation from Aditya's vantage point.

In the heart of the city lies a grand lake, adjacent to the city center. This central hub features a shopping district, the Alchemy Hall, auction houses, a fighting arena, restaurants, and more. The prominent clans also make their homes in this area.

The outer rim of the city comprises small houses, slums, military grounds, and other facilities. Numerous temples are scattered throughout the city, with the largest being the Sun God temple located at the city center, serving as the focal point for important ceremonies in the Sun Kingdom.

Within the palace compound, Aditya's balcony offers a view of a splendid garden below, adorned with various plants, trees, and a prominent fountain. To the right of the garden, practice grounds are bustling with cultivators of all ages honing their skills in weapon techniques, combat exercises, and bodybuilding, while the center of the area features arenas for dueling.

Taking in the fresh air and the captivating cityscape, Aditya feels invigorated. He resolves, "I've been given a second chance; I will fulfill all my desires, without holding back."

In the modern world, societal norms dictate a set path—education, career, homeownership, family planning, and so on. Many dreams of childhood remain confined to the pages of old notebooks.

"System, is my body ready for more cultivation?" Aditya inquires.

[Ding! The host needs to wait for a few more days before resuming cultivation.]

[Physically, you are still weak despite your body being healed.]

[The host may consider using body-strengthening powder to fortify internal organs.]

[Additionally, the host can explore dual cultivation to strengthen the body and enhance cultivation.]

"Oh, I got carried away yesterday. I forgot about the body-strengthening powder and the Fairy Divine Sword. Let's see..."

Aditya disregards the message about dual cultivation, given his current circumstances. With no girlfriend, he's uncertain about potential partners in that regard.

Aditya retrieves the body-strengthening powder pouches, discovering seven of them.

"System, why are there seven pouches?"

[The host needs to dissolve the powder in water and use it to temper his body.]

[The energy will strengthen the host's body through multiple iterations, bringing it to the level of the Foundation realm.]

[It's akin to forging a sword, where a hot iron is repeatedly hammered.]

"Understood," Aditya eagerly anticipates the body tempering process. He also retrieves the Fairy Divine Sword.

The Fairy Divine Sword is an elegant, slender blade with a silver-colored blade and a blue handle. As he holds the sword, Aditya feels its majestic power. A slight movement sends shockwaves through the room, shattering the table and cracking the balcony.

"The sword is incredibly fast and sharp," Aditya murmurs.

[Ding! The sword is a creation of the goddess. It's the fastest sword in the celestial realm.]

"Oh," Aditya is taken aback by this revelation.

Quickly, Aditya returns the sword and the body-strengthening powders to the system's space, concerned that the loud noise may attract attention.

"Young master!" Several guards swiftly enter his room, scanning it for intruders. Finding Aditya seated on the balcony, one of the senior guards asks, "Young master, are you alright?"

"I'm fine. I was just testing an artifact given to me by my grandfather, and this happened," Aditya replies.

The guards are stunned, well aware of the patriarch's affection for the young master and the significance of such an artifact.

"Young master, please exercise caution. If you require assistance, do not hesitate to ask us," they advise before exiting the room and closing the door.

Once the guards depart, Aditya breathes a sigh of relief. Having only recently awakened, he wishes to be discreet and avoid drawing undue attention to his cultivation progress.

"System, can they see my cultivation?"

[Ding! No, the system will safeguard the host's information, including cultivation, body strength, bloodline, and more.]

[Fairy Goddess does not want her chosen one to be discovered and eliminated before the tournament.]

Hearing this, Aditya is reassured. While he isn't particularly concerned about the tournament in the celestial realm, he is determined to improve his cultivation and enjoy life in the kingdom first.
