Start of Cultivation

Yama was excited to start his cultivation, it was his first time experiencing something like this, even though he was the Lord of Hell and nothing could affect him as he was a celestial being, it was now a thrill for Yama to experience human emotions, specially the feeling of gaining an additional power.

'By starting cultivation, I will be able to practice sword arts too and hopefully I can find a way to learn magic, I still don't know why the Magic rank was rejected from Ye Yong's Judgement details, if my guess is right is because my cultivation rank might not be enough yet.'

Yama went through the cultivation memories he gained from Ye Yong's Judgement slowly, as before he just skipped through the names and did not even bother to look at the contents so he opened up the Lord's Thunder Technique, the 1st Stage of the Technique is about gathering the lightning element and this will then be stored into the users sea of consciousness, to increase your cultivation rank you will need to continuously gather as much as lightning element as possible, the higher the lightning element stored in the users sea of consciousness, the faster the cultivation rank will increase.

The accompanied sword arts the Lord's Sword will help in boosting the chances in gathering the lightning element faster, as Yama carried on reading the information about the cultivation he was excited to see that once you break through to the Spirit Realm from the Elementary realm, you will be able to use magic related to the lightning element but the only problem Yama was worried about is that no magic chants or techniques were transferred to him from Ye Yong.

'Maybe once I reach the Spirit Realm, I would be able to access the information.'

Yama knows that in this world there are eight elements, someone with an aptitude for magic can awaken; Wind, Ice, Fire, Lightning, Water, Earth, Light and Dark.

Usually only one element can be awakened by the masses and some geniuses have awaken more than two to three elements, these people with two to three elements once trained can fight and take on cultivators who are a whole realm above. When someone has awakened an element for magic, they will usually take the path as an magician rather than a warrior as it is more respected.

What fascinated Yama is that this unique cultivation technique has helped Ye Yong forcibly awaken his element and since the cultivation technique and the sword arts accompanied each other, he only had to put less time to gain a high magic rank, but not even Ye Xiang knew that the ancestor was a magician too.

'It looks like Ye Xiang has hidden this information to save himself from calamity. Doesn't that mean I need to conceal it to? YOUR MOTHER! I knew nothing comes easy in this world!'

After putting all this thoughts away, Yama sat down in a cultivating position and started cultivating the first chapter of the Lord's Thunder chant, he waited for a good thirty minutes but he still felt nothing at all, but Yama believed that he will eventually find a drip of Thunder element gathering, after a few hours have passed Yama could feel his Judgement Book shining and emitting rays of thunder but Yama did not stop his cultivation, he carried on cultivating thinking that the Judgement Book is helping him.

Just after a few hours he can sense rays of thunder flowing through his meridians and sparkles of thunder entering his sea of consciousness, Yama knew from this moment that he is near to achieve a breakthrough and will step into the life of a cultivator, but it did not stop just there, suddenly the light emitted from the Judgement Book grew brighter and lots of thunder sparkles started gathering in Yama's sea of consciousness, Yama felt dizzy by this and eventually fainted.

When has the Lord of Hell ever been fazed or felt dizziness alas the times have changed now as he is no more the Lord of Hell back then and only some of his powers as a celestial being still remains within him.

"Ye Ji gege...are you ok?"

Yama who awoke gradually heard a familiar voice, it was none other than Yu Yan also Yama couldn't help to think wether to cry or laugh because this lass has still not changed the way of calling him, she still calls him Ye Ji instead of Yama.

"Yu Yan how long have I been asleep for?"

"YAAY! Ye Ji gege, you have finally woke up, you have been sleeping for a day or so and everyone was worried."

'What I have been asleep for a day' Yama found this unbelievable, he wanted to check just what happened but he noticed that the Judgement Book currently was displaying Yu Yan's details even though he can call details of previously touched people from the book, but it will not be updated until a touch has been made again, as fate can be changed anytime.

Yama was feeling very happy for Yu Yan because from looking at her updated details on the Judgement book it looks like her fate has now been changed and she has escaped her death, so the assumption that her death was only caused in Ye Clan seems to be correct, but Yama couldn't worry about the details anymore as he is now certain that Yu Yan will be safe.

"Ye Ji gege, you only have two more days to concoct the pill" Yu Yan looking at Yama who seemed to be in thoughts said.

"Ah alright, I would have to practice then, I will come out of my room later Yu Yan, so tell Ye Ming and others not to worry and that I am safe."

"Ok Ye Ji gege, take care" Yu Yan said and left.

After sending off Yu Yan, Yama opened up his own details on the Judgement Book to see if they was any changes and he was excited to see that he has now reached the 5th Stage of the Elementary Realm, but Yama was certainly not happy with the results, as he thought it was too little.

If Ye ming and others heard what Yama thought they will be looking at him as if they were looking at a monster!

Since Yama now has some cultivation in him, he can be certain that he can successfully concoct a pill following the memories, skill and abilities gained from Wei Wang the 9 star alchemist.

Yama went through the memories of the alchemy that he has gained from Wei Wang but after minutes of reading through the memories of the alchemy, Yama noticed the Judgement Book emit a green light, he quickly summoned the book to find out what happened but as soon as he saw the page on the Judgement Book he was flabbergasted.

The page had a picture of cauldron along with a green fire, it looked like the cauldron was alive so Yama can naturally tell that the cauldron can easily be pulled out from the page but what made him more surprised was that, this cauldron that is currently being displayed on the page is none other than Wei Wang's cauldron that he has seen from the illusions he saw through Wei Wangs memories.

Yama was surprised by the ability of the Judgement Book, he was slightly impressed that the Judgement Book can even pick up peoples items but he does not know what exactly has triggered the Judgement Book to act like this, he definitely knows this Judgement Book he has now is no way near the same as the Judgement Book he had in Hell, in fact this Judgement Book is so impressive that it beats it!

Yama not wanting to wait any longer pulled the cauldron out from the page, the fire from the cauldron did not feel hot at all for Yama he can easily touch it by using his hands with no heat transmitting, the cauldron looked beautiful and to think that the colour of the flames are changing constantly mind boggled Yama, he has never seen a cauldron like this, he has not even added any herbs or ingredients to it.

Just when Yama was going to put the cauldron back into the page, he noticed another page appear in the Judgment Book, it was a page full of fire flames, and it looked no different than the flames in the cauldron. Yama was surprised to see this flames, to think that the Judgement Book even gave him fire flames to light up the cauldron greatly surprised him, but Yama knew this is not a simple matter, because If Wei Yang and the others from the Heaven Pill House was to see this cauldron now they will easily recognise it as it is none other the cauldron of their ancestor.

Yama put away the cauldron back into the Judgement Book but kept the page full of flames opened, he summoned one of the blue flames from the page, a tiny blue flame lit up in Yamas finger.
