God of Time System: Harem in the Zombie Apocalypse

Chapter 341 [DNO]

While other people were sleeping, I was sitting with Aarick and Aisha, who were here to teach me about the basics of cultivation.

"While there are various practices, there are three prominent ones on this planet. Each for three aspects. Body, Soul and Mind." Aarick raised three fingers before he picked one of them with the other hand.

"Let's start with the body and we can correlate the other two with it. Though I must ask, do you know what 'Cultivation' means, right?" He questioned.

I nodded," to take the force of nature into one's body and reach an immortal hood? Or something like that."

Aarick nodded," that's more or less basic. Cultivation is the ability to extract the natural condensed energy of life that has been passed on by the universe in order to connect oneself to the Universe more. It generally increases your lifespan by removing toxicity from your body, makes you stronger by providing you a nourishing atmosphere and helps you perform tricks that are normally impossible by an average body."

He then began explaining the basic way to increase the power of the body.

The process was simple as to take in the energy into one's body and spread it throughout the body at once. There is something called dantian that flows within the body, and ideally, one should flow it through the dantian.

The purer the Dantian, the more blessed the body, the easier to flow the energy and absorb a great proportion of the spirit stones. With the bar set from 1 Star to 10 Star.

Supposedly, both Aarick and Aisha had a 10 Star Dantian, while I had a 1 Star Dantian.

The cultivation starts from basic

Body Formation Stage

Body Condensation Stage

Martial Formation Stage

Martial Condensation Stage

Apprentice Master Stage

Master Stage

Half Step Grandmaster Stage

Grandmaster Stage

Before one becomes one of the Immortals.

Each of these stages is further divided into 10 sub-stages that are required to break before one reaches a higher realm.

"The Soul and the Mind stage are the same, with exactly similar stages except the part where you need to flow the natural energy into the heart and the mind. Heart will create an auxiliary spirit channel, allowing you to connect with the spirits, while the mind will unlock potential to do feats like telekinesis etc," he explained everything in detail.

Aisha was there to point out if there was anything missing in there, but Aarick's explanation didn't have any faults.

"Now that we are done with the basics of cultivation, I will impart to you a bunch of ways to cultivate, though I would like you to know about this world a bit more before we get into that," Aarick spoke as he continued," so-"

But Aisha stopped him before speaking." I will explain to him about it."

Aarick didn't seem to have any problem with that, so he nodded before letting Aisha steer the explanation.

"There are 4 things you need to be careful of on this planet.

The Evil Sect that is hungry for power it will never stop on anything. Their method of cultivation is to feed not on the spirit energy of life, but to kill people and absorb their power. This way, they can get much stronger than normal, but because the energy is too chaotic, it messes up their brain.

The Demon race. While not exactly the real demons, they have some traits that they can absorb the negative energy emanating from various races. Things like despair, fear, agony, etc, are a method to bring out the negative energy out of the body, which they store and cultivate with.

If you meet any of those two, then kill them on site. Even by nature, they cannot be saved.

Then there are the Heavenly Principals. They are people with strong power who think of themselves as Gods. They have great powers, and in order to make sure they don't have stronger enemies, they created rules that benefit only themselves.

Be careful of them. Spend some time with the locals and they will tell you how not to go against them. But if you somehow decide to go against them anyhow, call us as well. We will destroy them with you.

Finally, the Martial Officers. They are people who were once hosted to protect the people, and die for them. They were considered pretty elite, but honestly, now that Heavenly Principles are in power, they too have started using crude methods."

"Crude Methods?" I asked curiously.

"Like they started working like mercenaries. They take money or extort, if you look at it properly. They have some people from evil and demonic sects as well. It's a bunch of every bad and good thing in them. Though because good is mostly suppressed, it's honestly an evil organization.

As for going against them. Crush them if you wish to. They can't do a dime against you anyway,"

She was quite brutal with her words, but after hearing her information, I couldn't agree more.

Aarick then smiled as he spoke,

"Do whatever you want. Crush them. Save them. It's your choice. But you must always keep in mind that our work here is to find the people of Plienthora as well as to get stronger. Everything else is secondary."

While he was smiling, I could see the seriousness in his eyes. I nodded at his words before pondering a bit more. Then I asked a question,

"Where should I start then?"

They both looked at each other and after communicating with their eyes, they looked at me,"we will teach you some basics of all the three fundamentals. But it would be better if you do it yourself. Honestly, we can't predict what you will do or what will happen to you, so we both will go separate ways to train. I hope you understand."

"You are leaving me alone here?" I asked, surprised, but Aarick shook his head,

"Not immediately. We will teach you the customs and such first and few general knowledge points as well, but after that you need to find opportunities on your own."

He spoke as I sighed. While I did want to train with them because of their knowledge, it seems like they both had to do something on their own…

"Okay, I understand." I nodded before they continued to teach me a few more small things.
