Cultivation Part 2

"Then what is the aim of cultivation? If immortality is the wrong answer."

"To understand the profoundness of the universe," replied Grand Elder.

Aryan couldn't understand a single thing his gramps told him then, 'Profoundness Of Universe!! What's that? Never heard or read about it.' He remained silent for a while before asking, "Then Gramps, how many years does it takes with the new system to reach immortality?"

"Hundred and thirty," replied Grand Elder and sipped his tea elegantly.

'The fck, hundred and thirty!! It took hundreds of years in the past era to set foot on that realm, now we can achieve that in just a hundred and thirty years!!!' his mind was going blank with each passing minute.

First, seven took out his cheat card. Second, the new system has seven stages instead of nine, and third, which seems to be the last of the day (He didn't know at that time it was just a beginning), you can achieve immortality in only a hundred and thirty years...…

Too much, too much of information for him to process at once. In technical terms, Aryan having an old processor of the ancient era, was having technical issues to process and compile modern-generation data.

He took some deep breaths, calmed down his mind, gulped down another bottle of water then asked, "So, the world of cultivation has taken a 90-degree turn in the past two millennia?"

"Not 90 but 180 degree" replied Grand Elder and asked for another serving of tea.

"Crick crack....." yet another crack mark appeared in his heart.

To break the ice, Aditya explained the seven natural locks in our body, as described by the seven sages. As mentioned in the records written by them, the seven sages had introduced 7 chakra locks present in our body.

Also called psychic centers, according to them, humans live in two different dimensions one is physical, and the other is psychological. The chakras are present in the psychological dimensions in a dormant state. When a person gets access to this dimension, we revere him as a sage or, in simple terms, a cultivation practitioner.

"I see..." replied Aryan and didn't say anything. Thousands of questions are bubbling up in his mind, but judging from the time and place, he asked the one that picked his curiosity the most.

"Gramps, you are at what stage of cultivation?"

The Grand Elder laughed and said, "I am at Iswarata Stage (Earthly Goodhood) and soon will enter to the next realm".

"Next Stage didn't you that there are only seven stages then what is this 8th stage ?"

"Wahahahah, my little boy, first you must reach up to the tatwata (elemental immortal stage) like your father, then I will tell you about it."

"Your father may look like a stupid, fool, clumsy, good for nothing, but let me tell you this, he is one of the best cultivation geniuses out there.

That fool, god knows how, he achieved the Tatwata (elemental immortal stage) at the age of 28, it takes people at least ninety years to earn this achievement. Still, my stupid son's stupidity didn't stop there; he has also obtained a rare element, the Fire Chakra, and have upgraded it to the Heavenly Stage." replied Grand Elder and laughed again.

Seeing his dad tarnishing his name Aditya asked in a sweet voice, "My dear old man, are you praising me or insulting me."

Grand Elder "Both I think."

"Die you old man, hmph".

"Hahahahah.... it's too early for that, and don't you know that whoever has reached the Earthly Godhod can't die. At least not on earth."

"Then go die on space, you old-timer of the past century."

After pondering for a moment, Aryan asked, "Gramps what is this Fire Chakra you are talking of ?"

Grand Elder was clearing his throat and was about to start again when Aditya interfered and said, "Ahem, since it's about me, why don't I explain it.

Lil Aryan , when you reach the Elemental Immortal stage, you will get an elemental soul weapon made from your soul sea that only you can use. It's like a weapon only exclusive to you alone.

You can upgrade it into a higher ranking weapon too." explained Aditya and showed a victory winning smile on his face.

Grand Elder got pissed by this and swear to take revenge on him one day.

While they were busy explaining him different kinds of stuff related to cultivation, a sound came "Ding Dong Ding Dong….." from the corner of the room from an old antique watch. Anisa looked at the clock and said, "I think it's time for you to get ready and meet with other family members,".

"Other what members??"

Anisa sighed and said, "Your doting father and grandfather had decided after your birth that they will allow no one to see you till you reach the age of 5, except the three of us, let's go I will prepare you for your Birthday Celebration."
