Cultivation of Law of Water and Fire

 As the four oldest find their respective tutor and learned under them, Ryker began to focus on comprehending different Path.

 He first unsure of which one he should focus on, before deciding to do a game of chance. In the end, he pick both Fire and Water, which is good, as there are treasures related to the two Path inside the storage ring given by the Grand Duke.

 "Let see here, a Flame Lotus at Grade 9 and a Water Lily at Grand 9. It might not get me to the next level of mastery but it should get me close to it," Ryker mused.

 He also planned to cultivate while trying to comprehend the different Path. After all, increasing his comprehension would greatly aid him in the future but it won't meant much if his cultivation realm is too weak against his enemies.

 And so, he begin to cultivate. There is a cultivation chamber inside the mansion but he did not use it, as his lovers are using it whenever they can. They had taken to doing missions in turn, with one group going on missions and the other one staying to cultivate, before switching the next day.

 As he did not one to bother them as his cultivation likely consume a lot of energy, he planned to go to any nearby place in the forest to cultivate.

 "Don't go to the first, go to the palace instead," Lariz recommended when he asked for a suitable place to cultivate in the forest.

 "Are you sure that is okay?" he pretty sure no normal people can meet the three Sovereign and oldest members of royal family, and gaining access to a cultivation chamber inside the palace is also too much.

 "Don't worry, if you don't want to be indebted, you can say you owe us one favor. How does that sound?" Lariz said.

 Ryker thought about it before sighing, "Fine," before the other man could pump his fist, he continued, "But I am given the chance to reject it if it is just plain stupid and will kill him if I have to do it. I can accept dangerous, but suicidal is another thing,"

 "Understood. Don't worry, we will make sure we don't ask for any crazy request," Lariz agreed easily.

 "Good, where should we met?"

 "That is fast, and this is a lot of energy," Ryker said, looking at the chamber with interest.

 Comparing it to the one in the mansion, there is no comparison as the one in the palace is the better one.

 Considering the royal family used it, it make total sense.

 As if reading his mind, Lariz told him, "This is my cultivation chamber. The royal family did not share cultivation chamber. Only the servants did that," 

 "Ohh," Ryker said, before going inside the cultivation chamber.

 As he went inside, he changed his thought on the amount of energy. It superior to what he even used to. Even in the energy when he advanced to the Genesis Sea could not compare to it.

 "The cultivation chamber will be closed and cannot be opened for an hour. Then, you can decide on when to leave. But you need to leave before nightfall, which is around 10 hours or so. So, I will have a servant told you when the time to leave, alright," the man said.

 "Understood, but where are you going?" Ryker asked. 

 "Something involving the succession," he replied. Ryker did not prod any further. After all, it is something in the future and there is no doubt he will be involved in the succession war as he is the Crown Prince's ally.

 When the door closed, Ryker could tell a lot of powerful formation sealed the room. He looked around, wondering why such thing happened.

 His best guess is the formation and sealing the room is done to prevent any energy from escaping, allowing him to cultivate in a better environment.

 It also work in his favor, and his disadvantage as his secret is safe but if anything happened to him, it would be hard for them to not know.

 So, he begin to put several High-Grade Genesis Crystal around him. He planned on using it to make the place have even more energy. It should increase his progress but one could never be certain in regard of such thing.

 He throw the negative thought away and begin putting the Flame Lotus. He planned on increasing his mastery of Law of Fire before Law of Water. Mostly because his Law of Fire is the strongest, or at the very least, the Path he had took further ahead compared to the other Path.

 As he put the treasure in front of him, he could feel it emit powerful fire energy. If not for the strength of the cultivation chamber, there might be a hole inside there.

 He then begin to cultivate, absorbing and refining the fire energy using the Burning Flame Mantra. As he refine the fire energy, he could feel he learned more of fire energy, intimately would be the best words for it.

 He could feel the flame in his inner realm become slightly brighter. If he had to guess, he would need to reach the next comprehension realm before the flame transformed into something greater or so he guess.

He keep on absorbing the fire energy, while at the same time comprehending the flame emitted by the Flame Lotus. While it did not help to much, with his mastery of Law of Fire being impressive, it still a step to the right direction.

 The Flame Lotus lasted for 3 hours before it was fully consumed. With the Flame Lotus no longer there, Ryker took out the Water Lily before doing the same thing he did with the Flame Lotus, except the Cultivation Art is Boundless Water Mantra and water energy is used.

 He could feel the air being humid, the water energy from the Water Lilily making it so. As he absorbed the water energy, the same thing happened as the water droplets inside his inner realm reacted, no doubt the changes will be felt more than seen by him.

 As he absorbed the water energy, he ponder over the possibility of combining the two vastly different Path. He can already do that with some other Path but he felt like the fusion is not perfect, like something can be done to make it even better.

 He decided to put the thought away for now. He want to focus more on his cultivation before looking back at the different Cultivation Art. Maybe there is something that can help him in one of the Cultivation Art.
