Creating my own Cultivation Skill

Time passed by and it has been 10 years.

He had just finished talking with the last being, a poison sprite, and was quite worn down. After all, every day, he accommodated 273 beings a day, or roughly 11 per hour. During that time period, Marie and Mary had visited, informing him that they would wait until they were Divine rank before leaving.

That would be around 57 days for Xander, so around one and a half months. Fae was also the same. She wanted to break through to Divine rank to ensure her safety and the safety of her brood.

Sam and Pan, on the other hand, will still leave once they break through to Demigod rank. For now, Xander couldn't do anything to change their minds, but he warned them that if they were to cause trouble, he would only act once to rescue them, and no further follow ups.

After all, the contract the two parties signed was not an equal contract, but rather a partnership type where the sprites were the weaker party. Xander can unilaterally cancel the contract without harm to both parties of the contract if necessary. If the sprites cause more harm than benefit to Xander, he could easily break the contract and reverse the benefits they have received from him, returning them to non-existence.

After everyone had left, Xander asked Sam and Pan to tell the sprites outside that he had already left. In truth, he just went to the secluded areas where he planted those sentient, non-sprite forming plants.

He headed there and began to talk and gather some fruits from the plants, tasting a few of them while saving the rest for his parents and friends. Most of them had already reached Class 5 category, with the quality all Perfect.

He then waved goodbye to them and left the garden. Of course, he also sent a magic wave to the 2 trees of life telling them of his departure. All Xander could feel was positive feedback from the magic wave, indicating their response.

A portion of his questions through the 10 years he stayed in the garden have been solved; the tree of life had its own independent consciousness; hence it is not allowed to be temporally replicated. It might also not fall under the regular classification for plant materials, due to the unique circumstances of how they were created.

Maybe, each seed is a biological carrier and not simply a protective material, which is why the replication works on the seed husk but not the same material when it is in the presence of the material within.

He then headed to the plot of land where he had previously placed the Garland Tree. The tree was originally part of the garden that was previously eliminated. All he could salvage were 2 fruits with viable seeds contained within them.

He had also planted it in Eden, placed near a library for each fruit. To be honest, for him, the tree was more of satisfying a curiosity than a necessity for his garden. Surrounding it were various other plants and seeds he had gotten from the Galactic Empire, and a few were delivered from his mother. After all, two days was enough to deliver the required items.

All in all, it has just been 5 seconds outside since he entered the garden. He headed to the dining area and began eating the dinner prepared by the twins.

Rosa was becoming better at cooking, getting closer to reaching the standard Esta has. Maybe this has something to do with her acclimatizing to her role? Who knows?

He wanted to spar with his bodyguards like before, but currently, only peak Mythic class magicians and some weaker demigods were giving him a challenge. At this point, they are simply for decoration and to misguide those watching in the dark.

Instead, he decided to focus all of his remaining time and energy on creating a cultivation skill, specifically tailored for him.

He headed to his room before teleporting to an unknown Exoplanet nearly 1/2 of the universe away. It didn't cost any magic energy to move, nor were there spatial, elemental, or energy traces. the benefits of an improved [Absolute Space] made traveling so easier and discreet.

He then accelerated the time of the whole planet, which had a circumference of 12,000 kilometers. 1 second in the universe was 10 years on the planet. He could maintain this state for nearly a millennium due to the area of being accelerated was quite small, but he didn't need that much time in creating his skill…hopefully?

After all, he did plan to realize his idea from class: creating a tailor-made cultivation skill.

In a few minutes, he calmed himself, and closed his eyes, focusing on the internal magic and elemental pathways within the body. He began the process of creating a cultivation skill.

First, he scanned his body, understanding every inch of his body: His nerves, blood vessels, bones, muscles, tendons, organs, tissues, and cells.

To completely understand how his body worked, he referred to biology books as well as research papers, compiling, correcting, and reading them all again. It took him 1,250 years to do all this down to the atomic level, as well as how the biological components are interacting with magical components and the presence of elemental and magic energies within and outside the body.

To understand how the cell's nucleus commanded and controlled every inter- and intracellular process that have been documented and analyzed, from assembly, transport, elimination, and recycling, to how the cells interact with specific cells and their external receptors to form tissues and act in a 2nd-level interaction, and how the tissues diversify into various types, some becoming connective tissues, some becoming organs with specific requirements and processes.

In this period of time, he had delved into the mysteries of nerves, neurons, and blood vessels, how these specific cells and channel tissues are formed to create a massive network of information to control and respond to external and internal situations of the body.

After comprehending the interactions of the body with itself and that of magic and elements, Xander then explored the multiple ways magic energy, elemental energy, elemental particles, and matter circulate all over his body, both outside and inside, how they are taken in or expelled by the body.

This was the long part, as it was one that exhausted all possible circulation pathways and then selected the most optimal and beneficial circulation.

It took him 50,000 years to explore all 108 million possible circulations for his body at the Elite class, and another 700,000 years for all 10.8 billion possible circulations at Master class. That's right, 700,000 years. an astronomical period of time to understand all possible circulations for the Master class, 100 times more complex than that of the Elite class.

It was harder to calculate for the Master class, because the movement of magic and elemental energy, matter and elemental particles in the body have additional parts to pass through: The currently circulating Magic seeds and Magic circles around his Life essence doll.

In the Elite stage circulation, this was not considered as the process at this stage was merely consolidation.

Consolidating the body to be able to have the capacity to contain more magic and elemental energy, to be able to extract said energies from the cells if needed in a fast and non-damaging way, a faster but damaging way, a slower but less strenuous way, etc. Magic energy that is cycled over and over the body can pass through the seeds without care or finesse, as if one was washing seeds or uncooked rice grains over pouring water.

The Master class circulation took into consideration the magic seeds, and the magic circles of his self-made spells.

Although these two additional parts were not much, it exponentially increased the difficulty, as the magic seeds and magic circles were complex, as he had utilized no less than Divine-level spells as pseudo-spells. At the same time, one must remember that Xander had created his own spells, spells that were beyond his current level of power. These spells would also have their respective magic spell circles, arrays, or complexes that magic and elemental energy must pass through finely and with control, while also maintaining a certain cycling speed.

From there, he utilized the calculating capacity of the System to choose the most optimal circulation, wherein the possible calculations for the Elite class perfectly suited the Master class, while retaining high efficiency of cultivation. Now all he needed to do was to test the combined circulation.

Xander took a deep breath, began to circulate accordingly to the cultivation skill he had finally selected from the billions of circulations possible for his body at the Master-class stage:

1. From outside, to the first layer of the skin. A large, indiscriminate absorption. The body opens up every single pore, directly allowing matter, elemental particle and elemental energy to enter the body and rapidly converted by the Life essence doll, before being distributed as a reinforcing force, or as magic energy.

2. Conversion of matter to elemental particles.

3. Conversion of elemental particles into elemental energy.

4. Conversion of elemental energy into magic energy.

5. Conversion of magic energy into self-reinforcing force unique to his body.

6. Cycles through all Magic circles, before extending to the Magic seeds, before being distributed to the rest of the body.

7. Absorb to every single cell, reinforcing the cells' form, stability, strength, defense, magic, and elemental energy capacity, life expectancy, genome quality, elemental affinity, elemental comprehension.

This is done through:

7.1. Absorb to the nerves, to the blood vessels. Enter blood circulation to reach every area of the body.

7.2. Cycle through the nerves, cycle throughout the body. Heightens all forms of sensation. Improves all brain functions. Improves all circulation functions. Neuron firing optimized. More neural networks established and improved in terms of plasticity amongst the neural cells.

7.3. Absorbed to the bones, breaking and reforming, modifying and strengthening the structure and quality. Stimulated by the nerves and the blood vessels, improving the speed of breakage and reformation, as well as absorption.

7.4. Absorbed to the muscles, strengthening them and improving their holding capacity. Stimulated by the nerves and blood vessels, improving the speed of absorption and cycling.

7.5. Absorbed to the tissues, strengthening them and improving their holding capacity. Improve the tissue's resiliency, flexibility, and connectivity.

7.6. Absorbed to the organs, improving their function, state, and overall quality and holding capacity. Stimulated by the nerves, and the blood vessels, improving the speed of absorption and cycling.

7.7. Absorb into the 2 deepest layers of the skin.

7.8. Cycle throughout the 2nd and 3rd layer, strengthening and revitalizing the nerve and blood vessel endings.

7.9. Absorbed to the first layer of the skin.

7.10. Cycle throughout the first layer, strengthening and revitalizing the skin.

8. Convert the remaining reinforcing force back into Magic energy, and store it into the cells, life essence doll, magic circles, and magic seeds.

9. Repeat.

The initial cycles were quite rough for Xander, causing him to cough out blood at some points, as well as his skin tearing open and causing blood to flow out. Xander, however, didn't reverse time but rather utilized the life elements to heal his body. This was a form of tempering for his body, which wasn't initially made to handle a large volume of matter, elemental particle and elemental energy at one point.

This cycle of destruction and healing continued for a few more hundred cycles, until his 999th cycle, where the cycling of reinforcing force was successfully done, converted to magic energy, and then stored. At this point, Xander's body began adapting to the large bulk flow of elements and matter entering his body.

Xander was elated, since it took him around 25 years to completely do 999 cycles with a period of recovering from the injuries. He continued to cycle the cultivation skill, making his body adapt to the skill.

After another 1080 complete cycles, his body had already completely adapted to the skill, and had improved by many folds by the continuous cycling and absorption. This process took another 10 years, more than 50% shorter than before.

At this period of time, elemental energy from the universe and the planet was forming a funnel towards his location, causing a slight disturbance in the solar system in which the exoplanet was located in. With the presence of the time-acceleration field covering the entire planet, the production of elemental particles was quite abundant compared to the outside world.

He was proud with the current state of his cultivation skill, so he then did the last step: Integrating it in his Magic meditation. Xander calmed himself and his body was restored to his most optimal condition after a few minutes of cycling, before heading into deep meditation, allowing the cultivation skill to power his process of comprehension.
