Tiangong Academy

I stopped laughing after a little bit and looked at her.

"So, please give me a rundown of the cultivation realms here. I haven't gotten a full grasp of this place yet."

"Uh, sure, Mom, I thought you were supposed to teach me this. But here you forgot. Starting off is Qi Gathering, where every being is born, other than what humans call demonic creatures like me, which can be born between higher realms. Afterward, it is Qi Condensation, Where the Qi is condensed into your bones, blood, and organs; after Qi Condensation is Foundation Establishment, which creates a Foundation for an overflowing amount of Qi that resides in your body; once the foundation is finished, it is the Core Formation, Where anything at this level begins gaining their own aura to show their power and now have a core surrounding their soul, once the core is fully formed they have to start cultivating their soul who will lead to the Soul Condensing realm, which once fully cultivated allows one to make a clone of themselves, which can be changed to their wish, You understand this mom?"

I nodded as I listened to her; being called, Mom felt a little nostalgic, So I was in the Soul Condensing realm right now, but I still needed to get higher If I wanted to reach world peace.

"Alright, After Soul Condensing is Divine Transformation, which makes you immune to all types of poisons and diseases, not even ones at a higher level than you, and can affect you when you reach this realm. You also need to start using your own spiritual energy to make elements, which is what will be your main source of Qi, and what abilities you will have will relate to the element; of course, you can choose something like light and darkness, but those are harder to master and use."

Would those be hard to use since I can manipulate every element type easily using magic? I looked back at Astral as she continued explaining.

"After that is the Mystical Qi Formation, which is the formation of Mystical Qi, or Mana, an advanced version of the Qi normal people use. Once the Mana is formed, the person must advance their core to prepare for their next realm. The Mana allows the people to create their own artifacts. Next is the Chaotic Star Formation, which is the formation of a solar system, as humans call it, in one core, replacing their soul. The star will be made of the element the user has used the most or the one the user wishes to use. The higher in the realm one goes into the cultivation realm, the more planets will be created, making their own solar system. After that is the Divine Constellation Realm, which has the person who reaches the realm create their own constellations, which is something else they must cultivate. Another note is that they have reached immortality from Age, meaning they cannot age and instead change their body to look younger or older. You have to begin facing inner demons which will try to make people go into the demonic path and kill each other."

Oh, the sweet relief of not being able to age. I can't wait to get to that realm. Whatever, I must first learn about all these realms. As for the inner demons, I can get rid of them quickly; I don't need to worry about them at all.

"After Divine Constellation is Void Transcendence, where a person can hide in the Void and even comprehend it, making it so they are fully concealed. Obviously, anyone in a higher cultivation realm can see and sense them, but if someone in a higher cultivation realm hides in the Void, they can't be sensed by those in the Void Transcendence realm. Next is the Supreme Qi Formation, which is the formation of Spiritual Energy, which is a higher version of Mana and even more advanced than before, and they can interact with mythical creatures like pixies and fairies; by this point, they able to transcend and go to the Celestial Realm. If they choose, there are still realms higher than this mom :3."

Her smile made me chuckle as she explained this; now I realize there are a lot of realms here. And there were even more in this so-called higher plane which gods live in. Or so-called Gods.

"The Last three realms are in obscurity because those in those realms do not say anything or say very little, which is the Godly Ascension Realm, which can make their own life basically being a literal God to those at this level. After that is the Universal Absorption Realm, where Inner demons come back to stop you but are much stronger than you. They are the reason Qi or Mana even exists in this world. And finally, the Infinite Empyrean Realm. Which only is known that they can destroy the universe itself."

"I see. Thanks for the Explanation, Astral; what do you want to do now? I don't have anything to do right now other than relax.

"I want to scare humans and make them run. It looks fun! I won't harm them, though!"

I chuckled as Astral wanted to do this. As I patted her head and rubbed her hair, she reacted with what seemed to be a purr and seemed more like a cat-like creature.

"Sure, just call me when you need help escaping. Say the name Eve or say Genesis."

Before Astral went away to scare humans, I had used magic differently, making it so if Astral said either Eve or Genesis. She would be teleported directly to me, bringing only her clothes.

"What to do now? I don't want to just continue cultivating. That'd be boring and take too much time. Hmmm... I could explore this world and learn more about their so-called cultures, if they have any.

Getting Up, I left the forest, heading directly to the city nearby. I slowed down and started walking through the streets. People were staring at me and whispering about either my height or beauty. Though being called beautiful felt weird, I didn't mind the compliments. I had also suppressed the aura that made them think of me as their mother just in case someone attacked me.

"Woah! You look so cool; what is your name?"

I looked down, seeing a little boy in awe of my appearance. I chuckled as their mother took them and picked them up.

"Sorry about him; he always runs off when he sees something he likes."

"It's alright; I don't mind. It brings me joy to see others happy. My name is Eve. It was nice meeting you, Abel."

"W-Wait, How'd you know his name-"

I had disappeared after using my magic to find information on him. I reappeared inside a school in the middle of what seemed to be an assembly.

"Oop-"

I barely moved to the side in time as a spear flew, almost hitting my head. I looked at them, somewhat annoyed, and used my Mana to see if there was anything else in this School that could disadvantage me if they decided to start fighting.

"Who are you, and how did you get in here."

The person who asked me this looked mature and was clearly an adult, and he also seemed like he was the Principal by the looks of every student being here and listening to him on the podium.

"Just call me Eve, I left the Void accidentally while watching."

To make it seem as if I wasn't so suspicious, I brought up how I had left the Void, which makes it seem that I wasn't just randomly teleporting into the area.

"O-Oh, I didn't think we'd have someone of such high status here. I welcome you; if you wish to stay here and watch, I simply introduce them to the School after the students pass the exam."

I chuckle as he sounds nervous; I begin floating using 『Wind Manipulation』Come to think of it, I should start forging my own weapons before I get 『Zenuanouramasa』though I doubt it would accept this body of mine due to its kind nature.

I looked at them as the Principal had introduced them to the School.

"Welcome to Tiangong Academy. We have been home to multiple Students who have learned here and then gone on to reach realms of Void Transcendence and even one who has gone beyond it!"

I look at them and smile, waving as they listen to the Principal. They thought it was weird that I had appeared there, but they were even more excited because someone of such high status was there. Looking at them, most of them were at Qi Condensation, some at Foundation Establishment, while the teachers were at the Soul Condensing Realm. And the Principal was at Chaotic Star Formation.

"We are here to teach you the ways of cultivation and the ways to reach the top and become Immortal; it is what our School is founded upon; the name itself means 『Heavenly Palace』, which is related to achieving the Heavens and becoming immortal, while yes some of you may think that people become immortal at the Divine Constellation Realm that is only limited to Age, as it is known that something higher. And what people call 『Nirvana』But that is all from me, in ten months you all will be tested in how much you have grown, if you meet the requirements you will be changed to a higher class while if you don't improve and instead move downwards you will be put in a lower class or even kicked out of the School."

Looks like they weren't messing around and wouldn't be corrupt, or so I hoped; I wanted them to actually teach the students properly without accepting bribes to kick students out of the School or something; as I turned towards the students, I felt an Aura of someone strong, for a split second It felt like someone of a high ranking someone even higher than anyone in this Mortal Realm, no Even higher than the Celestial Realm, I was sure of it, they could definitely destroy everything this place had known. Yet it came from a kid and someone who was at only Qi Condensation? Was this some reincarnation novel or something? It wouldn't be too far-fetched to assume I was in a world based on a reincarnation and xianxia plot; I can feel it from how the cultivation realms are explained and what they can do.

"Interesting... Very Interesting, I might have to stay in this Academy longer."

A smile grew on my face as I said this. The Principal looked at me in shock but was also happy because he would be getting more students for the academy, assuming a tournament for multiple Academies in this district or County; it doesn't matter.

"But I would like to give a single person my full support here. I find them more interesting than the others, but everyone has the potential to reach my level or even surpass me—even the Teachers and you, the Principal. As such, I choose him."

I had picked the boy who once showed a large aura before; he had brown hair that was somewhat long for a man as it reached his shoulders. He looked like he had been nicely dressed, so probably someone of high status but one who was lazy; this had caused them to be fired up and exhilarated; they were filled with energy and wanted to train to make someone like me Proud; I felt like a mom watching their child trying to prove they were doing something good; it truly made me happy. I then used 『ʎʐøʎùʎɝʎħʎ∠ń』Or also known as 『Invisibility』Making my presence disappear entirely, even making it so my soul was not able to be sensed. As such, they had thought I had re-entered the Void.

The boy looked at himself and pointed to him in surprise.

"Me...?"
