Days passed by at Crystal Lake, with Sir Elias and Oasis dedicating themselves to training day in and day out.

They sparred tirelessly, pushing each other to new heights, until two months had elapsed.

"Lad, you have made a lot of progress, more than I could have imagined,"

Sir Elias praised Oasis one morning as they concluded their two-month sparring sessions, marking the end of their eight-month training period at Crystal Lake.

"And within these two months of sparring, you have already reached

    Aetheria...It was already past midday, and the sun hung high above the vast skies of Aetheria, pouring golden light across the endless horizon. The clouds, once scattered lazily across the heavens, now began to shift in an unnatural rhythm, as though something massive was moving through them with intent. They did not simply drift.They parted.Not slowly, not naturally—but in sharp, decisive waves, as if the very sky itself was yielding to an invisible force carving a path through it. The cloud layers split apart in a sweeping corridor stretching toward the northeast, forming a wide, elongated opening that extended further and further as though guided by the will of a deity gliding just above the heavens.The motion was too precise to be random.Too fast to be natural.It looked as though something had pierced through the sky itself, forcing it to open in reverence.And within that parted sky—A blur tore through the air.Oasis moved like a streak of living light cutting across the h

    The pressure in the atmosphere intensified unconsciously.Even Hayate swallowed slightly.“And one might ask…” Soma continued calmly, “…what does it mean to protect the mind?”“What exactly does one protect it from?”He raised a finger.“That is simple.”“You protect your mind from the world and yourself.”A strong gust of wind swept across the courtyard.“If your mind is protected, then your heart will remain strong.”“For the mind sees all and governs all based on what it has perceived.”“First…”“Your mind must be protected from the words that dance throughout the world. The words beyond your control.”“Second…”“Your mind must be protected from what your eyes perceive. For if your mind remains protected, then you shall see reality for what it truly is.”“And lastly…”His eyes darkened slightly.“Your mind must be protected from the deception and insanity of the world itself.”The words caused Daku’s expression to shift faintly.Vesta’s golden eyes narrowed ever so slightly as well

    “First, what makes a cultivator strong? What is it that truly determines how powerful a cultivator becomes?”Master Soma finally began the true heart of his lesson.The distant ringing of training bells echoed faintly from somewhere deeper within the village, yet within this courtyard there was only silence.A profound silence.The seven youths sat before Master Soma in lotus position, completely attentive.Soma himself sat like an unmoving mountain beneath the open sky. His haori spread neatly around him across the stone floor, the fabric fluttering lightly at its edges whenever the wind brushed against it.His posture was perfectly straight, neither rigid nor relaxed, but balanced with a level of control that made him appear less like a man and more like a deeply rooted ancient tree that had stood through countless storms.Even the way he spoke possessed a strange force behind it.His voice flowed calmly and seamlessly through the courtyard, carrying a natural authority that unconsci

    “Now it makes sense why Shiye had asked about the demonic cultivators earlier. It seems they have bad blood with them, and now, from the way Father’s presence has changed, it seems he is at ease with them now. So he trusts them to a certain degree. After all, demonic cultivators are hated by everyone,” Kyoku thought inwardly as he looked toward Master Soma, who sat before the Blood Roses while speaking calmly to Venak.The mountain breeze continued to flow quietly through the training courtyard atop the peak of Nodoka Village, carrying with it the distant sounds of village life below.Yet within the training grounds themselves, the atmosphere remained solemn and focused.“And don’t get me wrong, kids,” Master Soma continued speaking. His calm eyes moved across every single member of the Blood Roses one by one. “I do not know the orders your sect has given you, and I do not wish to stand against that. But what I am saying is not merely my opinion.”His voice lowered slightly.“It is th

    The air around them became slightly heavier from the words of Master Soma and at that moment Daku's eyes wided a bit just a bit in a way that was barely noticeble.“But since I have decided to trust my instincts, I will assume you are a scout.”His eyes sharpened faintly.“And a scout of your caliber does not simply get lost.”The statement lingered heavily in the air.“So with that said, I will not pry information from any of you. If there is something you wish to tell me, then you will tell me yourselves.”Then his tone became more serious.“But I will warn you of one thing.”He slowly gestured toward the distant village below.“This is Nodoka Village.”“And as you have already seen, it is enormous.”“There are many cultivators here. Many factions. Many interests.”Soma’s expression remained unreadable.“I am one of the elders of this village. And naturally… not everyone likes me.”A faint scoff escaped him.“That is simply life. No matter where you go, not everyone will like you.”

  • Chapter 697: Master Soma's Warning(1).

    As much as Venak had agreed with what Daku had suggested earlier, now that they were steadily moving toward Master Soma’s manor, another problem surfaced within his mind.How exactly were they supposed to contact Oasis?That single thought lingered heavily within Venak’s mind as he walked through the lively streets of Nodoka Village.After all, they had already spent several months inside the Celestial Garden Sphere without any form of contact from Oasis whatsoever. The separation had been absolute. No mana transmission. No spiritual connection. No sign of the Young Master.And now, despite both Daku and Venak believing that contacting Oasis was the wisest course of action, neither of them actually knew how they would accomplish it.At this point, Daku, despite still being a young man in his early twenties, had already experienced enough of the cultivation world to understand one important truth.Not everything was ever as it seemed.Especially in the cultivation world.The cultivation
