Chapter 7: Goddess Diparu

Two individuals sit in the darkened chamber. The vibrant one is seated calmly, while the thin old man gets restless at the news he has recently received.

"Are you scratching my b*lls right now?" The thin old man asked in shock.

"How can I report inaccurate information to the first ancestor? I am being truthful," Oseka, the sect master, assured.

"You are not pulling my c*ck right now? It is too difficult to believe. So difficult to accept. How was it possible for so many incomprehensible things to happen in one day during one event? This is still hard to believe," remarked Ancestor Skutamoya.

"Everything is as I reported."

"You are not jerking my a**, right? The emergence of a divine beast, the mysterious Soul Perfection expert in the final stage, the newly emerged divine beast that's already in the Spiritual Seed Shaping stage within a day, the might of the Black Ancient Cult's Vitality Roots Chain Formation, the Cult ancestor who is already in the Soul Perfection stage, and the woman who easily and discretely attacked that unfathomable expert and left a gruesome hole in his stomach? Any of these events is the big news in the Bluesky Region. How can this old man easily believe? Though I know you are telling the truth, it is still shocking." Ancestor Skutamoya resigned in disbelief.

"Even I still found it hard to believe. Sigh! I remain to believe that this is all a dream from which I may awaken at any moment; unfortunately, that's the reality we can't ignore." Sect Master Oseka let out a resigned sigh.

"The cult ancestor attaining the Soul Perfection stage is what most discomforts me. The Bluesky Region sects' power dynamics are already out of balance. Sigh! I have spent too much time in this final stage of the Soul Germination. My lifespan will eventually run out before I can make a breakthrough because of my limited potential unless I have a fortuitous encounter soon. For us ancestors of the sects in these small regions, such lifespan misfortune is expected." Ancestor Skutamoya of the White Stork sect said in regret.

Both men let out worried sighs, and the room fell silent.

After three days at the hideout, Oris had already digested all of the knowledge the elderly man managed to impart to him.

"A lot of things make sense now, and I have gained a lot of wisdom in just three days. All my unanswered questions about this world of immortal cultivators are now clear." Oris said in a cheerful tone and with excitement.

"Even with my large cattle physique, I still find it strange that I have not been thirsty, hungry, or exhausted in the last three days. One can simply maintain oneself with the energies stored in their body once they have attained the level of immortal cultivator. However, the elderly man... No! The venerable Mozinba took the initiative to plant vegetables and fruits in this hideout; I do not have an appetite for those things now. However, I will eventually have to appreciate the cuisine in this world to please my taste buds."

"Is this hideout underground or in the cave? No, I don't have leisure for these unnecessary thoughts right now. It is time to breakthrough to the advanced stage of Spiritual Seed Shaping. From the venerable Mozinba's experience, I can feel that my cultivation base is stable enough."

BOOM!

With just a thought, Oris entered the advanced stage of the Spiritual Seed Shaping. 

"The cultivator's strength and speed double at the Spiritual Seed Shaping stage. All cultivators in this stage mostly rely on weapons and techniques, and no specific combat abilities are acquired from this level. I only obtained Telepathic Communication when entering this stage and nothing else except for strength and speed. Cultivators of the Soul Germination level and above use elemental energies, phantoms, summons, soul avatars, artefacts and other unusual methods for battle, but all cultivators below that stage mostly rely on spiritual energy and weapons. The venerate's knowledge is simply unparalleled."

"The spiritual seed within my abdomen is beginning to materialise in the advanced stage. In the final stage, it will be fully formed to store the excess spiritual energy for the foundation of my future cultivation progress. Without the spiritual seed, it is impossible to cultivate beyond this stage. After the Spiritual Seed Shaping stage comes the Spiritual Seed Nurturing, then Soul Germination, Soul Perfection, Soul Unification and so forth. It appears to me that the venerate is unaware of other higher cultivation bases. He seems to be unsure."

Just as Oris was busy monologuing, he felt his mind entering a dreamy state while he was still awake.

"Is this an enlightenment? No, that's not it."

Oris felt a sense of danger as his mind and soul entered a unique state. A blinding light shined, opening his eyes, his consciousness was in a strange dimension.

A huge female figure the height of an electric pole was standing in front of Oris. Oris was in a state of awe as he saw the radiant beauty that could practically illuminate a dark room.

Oris had seen many attractive ladies on the internet and on television back on Earth, but compared to the gigantic woman before his eyes, they all pale in comparison.

She looks so pure, and she has a natural glow that lights up her surroundings. She is the kind of woman everyone would smile and blush when talking to.

"Haven't you admired me enough, cattle divine beast?" Looking down at Oris with a smile, the woman softly said in a charming and smooth voice.

"Where am I? Who are you? What is this place? Oris snapped out of his daze and inquired hastily.

"One question at a time, please. I am one of the many goddesses in the realm above. You can call me Goddess Diparu. I just pulled your consciousness here to converse with you. I mean no harm to you."

"A...a Goddess? What do you want from me? I am just a harmless cattle." Oris nervously said.

"The pace of your breakthroughs piqued my interest. I also tried a divining method to foresee your future, but I did not see anything. It is as if you are an unknown variable in the world. This is why you attracted me here. Other immortal gods may have missed the pace of your advances, but nothing in this world can escape my keen sense of sight. I know you are asking why I came here. Become my servant, and I will ensure that no immortal in the upper realm may harm you while you are still in the midst of increasing your cultivation level."

'What? The amount of my spiritual channels and the manner I breakthrough like breathing make me an anomaly in this world, but does this qualify me to attract the attention of such a figure? Is this implying that I have the capacity to be a legendary being in the future? Me, the cattle? What happens if I refuse? Will she obliterate me out of rage? Or tell other powerful beings to disturb my life?' Oris nervously thought as he began to worry.

"Do not worry. Once you become mine, I will not mistreat you. I will even supply you with everything you need that you can't even find in this lower world." Goddess Diparu convincingly said without losing her patience.

'There's no way this could end peacefully.' Oris surrendered in regret.

"I agree." Oris reluctantly agreed.

"Good. I will leave this symbol inside you to mark you as mine. Starting now, this axe will also serve as your weapon. It is a celestial-grade treasure. When you reach the Soul Germination stage, spill your blood on this axe, and it will acknowledge you as its new master."

The dreamy state gradually dissipated, and when Oris opened his eyes, the massive axe was in front of him.
