Chapter 5: Choosing the path of cultivation

He glanced around briefly before turning his attention to the system. While in the main hall, he received a reminder notification that he was eager to check. With a focused mind, he activated the system interface.

The blue screen appeared before him, displaying the latest update. Greyson's eyes quickly scanned the details, looking for any changes on the system screen.

[Congratulations on joining a sect and taking the first step in cultivation]

[ The system will give a cultivation path for Host to choose ]

[ Righteous path : Embracing righteousness and justice could lead to honor and respect, but it might also mean facing moral dilemmas and challenges from those who oppose these ideals. ]

[Demonic path : This path promised power through bloodshed and destruction, appealing to those who sought strength at any cost. However, it also carried a heavy price, potentially leading to a dark and corrupting influence.]

[I will walk on my own path : You don't follow any path , you crave your own path ]

[ please select among the three paths ]

[Warning: If you choose a path you can't change in the middle ]

[Cultivation is like a journey you can't change destinations in the middle ]

[And the rewards will be based on that]

[So be careful].

Greyson touched his chin, deep in thought as he considered the options before him. The Righteous path had its appeal, promising honor and respect, but he knew it would come with moral constraints that could limit his freedom. He didn't want to be shackled by strict codes or forced into dilemmas that could restrict his growth.

The Demonic path, on the other hand, was immediately dismissed. While it offered immense power, the cost was too great. Greyson had no desire to become a bloodthirsty maniac, driven by dark desires and a corrupting influence.

His gaze returned to the third option: "I will walk on my own path." It was the most uncertain and challenging choice, but it resonated with him the most. Greyson had always valued independence and the ability to make his own decisions. This path would allow him to carve out his own destiny, free from the rigid structures of the other two options.

Finally after a depot thinking Greyson chose I walk on my path.

[You chose I will walk on my own path]

[Congratulations on choosing your cultivation path]

[You have received the manual of Heavenly Demon Cultivation]

[A bottle of Qi gathering pills]

Then he saw a manual appear in his mind. With a lot of information on how to cultivate it. And bottle with 10 pills in his hand

[ Cultivation technique: Heavenly Demon Cultivation

Rank: Ex

Description: Heavenly Demon Cultivation is a formidable technique that harmonizes both qi and demonic energy, offering a unique blend of power and versatility. This technique allows practitioners to harness the benefits of both pure, righteous qi and the dark, destructive forces of demonic energy.

Remarks : While the technique offers immense power, it requires careful management of both energies. The demonic aspect can corrupt the practitioner if not balanced properly, leading to potential risks of moral and physical degeneration.

Greyson observed the information about the Heavenly Demon Cultivation technique and noted its significant advantages, including its ability to harness both qi and demonic qi in harmony. He recognized the immense potential and high limits of the technique but also understood the inherent dangers it posed. Despite this, Greyson was unfazed.

"Without risk, we can achieve nothing," he mused, a determined smile crossing his face.

He then settled into a meditative posture and began the cultivation process as outlined in the manual. The first stage, Qi Gathering, required him to focus on drawing and refining Qi from his surroundings.

At this initial stage, Greyson concentrated on absorbing the ambient Qi, channeling it through his body, and refining it to enhance his internal energy. As he immersed himself in the process, he felt a subtle flow of energy within him, gradually increasing his sense of control and connection with qi.

Grey took one Qi gathering pill and began to continue his training.

The first stage of cultivation is Qi Gathering, which marks the initial step on the path of cultivation. This stage involves gathering Qi within the body to strengthen it. Normally, this process is straightforward. However, for Grey, who is mastering the Heavenly Demon Cultivation, it requires the simultaneous absorption of both Qi and Demonic Qi to temper his body.

Fortunately, with the cultivation manual directly imprinted in his mind and his natural talent proving to be exceptional, Grey faced no obstacles. His training seemed effortless as a result. A blue aura and a dark aura began to surge continuously around him, blending together in perfect harmony.
