Chapter 10: Cultivation Techniques

"I'm sorry, Davis, but I have no way to teach you Soul Forging Cultivation since our starting point differs. I could offer you help if you were at the Revolving Core Stage."

"However, you will have to rely on your comprehension to learn how to cultivate your soul without reaching Revolving Core Stage…" Claire said with a helpless expression on her face.

"I understand, mother." Davis understood that almost all people couldn't sense the soul without any cultivation, but that wouldn't stop him from advancing forwards. He was sure that he would just take a few extra steps and stumble at certain points before officially beginning to cultivate his soul.

"Mother, I want a Nascent Soul Stage Soul Forging Cultivation Manual of our family now…" Davis had an idea of where he should start, but he needed permission as always.

"Davis, you aren't allowed to cultivate until you're five years old!" Claire warned with a stern expression on her face.

"I know, mother. I just want to learn the manual to find a way to cultivate without reaching the Revolving Core Stage, and I promise that I won't cultivate until I'm five years old."

Claire looked pensive. She heaved a sigh and nodded her head.

"Sigh, I'll talk to your father about it."

"Then, I'll come to play with Clara afterward!" Davis excitedly uttered.

"Of course! However, Clara fancies you more than me. What kind of tricks did you play on her?" Claire asked with an expression full of fake anger.

"Secret…"

Davis smirked and ran away.

======

Six months passed.

After gaining permission from his father, he learned and inferred many Nascent Soul Stage Soul Forging Cultivation Manuals.

Davis worked hard to find a way so as to find a way to cultivate the soul.

Logan personally started to teach him about all three types of cultivation, especially the basics of Soul Forging Cultivation.

After six months, Davis firmly grasped how to cultivate his soul normally when one reaches Revolving Core Stage, but he couldn't fathom on how to cultivate without entering it.

In fact, it was a miracle that he achieved the Nascent Soul Stage without cultivating in a specific Soul Forging Cultivation Manual. Since Davis couldn't find a way to cultivate, he tried asking various personalities in a roundabout way.

"Good day, Crown Prince." The Librarian greeted Davis.

"Good day, Mister Oxford!" Davis greeted.

Mister Oxford was the Librarian of the Royal Castle. He was 181 centimeters tall, with a suave and gentlemanly face. But he looked quite old when perceived in a mortal's standard, around 50 years of age. His real age was unknown to Davis, but he knew that his question might be answered if he asked.

"Our Prince is so studious. Our Empire will surely be stable and powerful in the years to come." Oxford complimented with a sincere smile on his face.

"Thank you, Mister Oxford," Davis reciprocated the smile with an innocent expression, "Can I ask you a question?"

"The Prince has a question for me? I will try to answer my best."

"Which stage are you in the Essence Gathering Cultivation System?"

Davis asked with a curious expression on his face.

"I'm in the Revolving Core Stage. However, it doesn't compare to your talented imperial father, who had recently reached the Law Seed Stage just before the rebellion ended."

"Really? Father has achieved Law Seed Stage!?" Davis became astonished.

Davis finished reading about the basics of cultivation, so he knew the order of Cultivation Stages up to the Fifth Stage for all three Cultivation Systems.

"Yes!" Mister Oxford replied with a proud smile on his face, perhaps, proud of the Loret Empire's young Emperor.

The Law Seed Stage is the Fifth Stage in the Essence Gathering Cultivation System. It is difficult to attain it without resources and comprehension. Only the top powers of the continent have a powerhouse of the Law Seed Stage. Logan's Royal Father, the previous Emperor, was originally a Law Seed Stage expert, but he died, triggering the start of the rebellion.

"Then what about my father's Soul Forging Cultivation?"

"Oh-oh, aren't you in a hurry to learn about your father?" Oxford teased but continued, "Your father is at the Peak-Level of the Young Soul Stage, the Third Stage of Soul Forging Cultivation. Meanwhile, I am only at the Peak-Level of the Nascent Soul Stage." Oxford sighed.

"Only the Third Stage? And Mister Oxford only reached the Peak of the First Stage in Soul Forging Cultivation?" Davis was shocked at their slow speed in Soul Cultivation.

The Young Soul Stage is the Third Stage of Soul Forging Cultivation.

"Oh-oh, it isn't easy to cultivate the soul, my prince. Your Highness needs plenty of resources that tempers and refines your soul. Other than that, you need to perceive heaven and earth energy and resonate to comprehend the relevant mysteries required to enter the next level and stage."

"Without them, you can only slowly progress at a snail's pace. Training in the soul?" Oxford looked as if he lamented that he couldn't cultivate his soul at a steady pace, "It is very difficult."

"I understand, then I'll see you around." Davis kept nodding his head and took his leave.

Davis walked absentmindedly, thinking of a solution to the problem that he currently faced. No matter how he thought, he couldn't think of a solution with his current knowledge.

'Forget it, I'll eventually find a way to temper my soul!' Davis gave up temporarily and went to play with his mother and sister.

Clara was now able to form 3 to 4 words of sentences. He took his time playing, keeping his little sister entertained and making her cry accidentally, which makes Claire slap his butt out of this world.

In this elevated life that didn't seem like how an imperial person would live, he lived rather carefreely without any burdens in his life other than learning imperial ethics and other subjects from the tutors.

Other than not being allowed out of the Royal Castle, he was rather an unobstructed, free soul who could go anywhere and disturb any person he wanted as long as it wasn't the Emperor and the Empress. Of course, they rarely rejected his presence unless they had some work or 'work'.

======

Eight months later.

Davis reached his fifth birthday and officially earned the freedom to cultivate. He learned more about all three Cultivation Systems and got the Cultivation Manuals of all three of them six months ago.

The three Cultivation Manuals he procured from the Royal Library were all Sky Grade Manuals.

Sky Grade manuals were reserved only for the Royal Family members and those who produce top achievements beneficial to the Loret Empire. Sky Grade Cultivation Techniques aren't easily available on this continent. They weren't just rare, but all available Sky Grade Manuals are already in the hands of the Grand Sea Continent's top powers. No mid-level auctions even dared to sell one in their place, and at most, only the higher tier powers will dare to sell them.

The Cultivation Manuals he chose with the help of his father and mother, were named, Tyrant Body Secrets, Extinction Lightning Judgement, and Sacred Luminance Mist.

Tyrant Body Secrets is a Mid-Level Sky Grade Manual, a Body Tempering Cultivation Manual. It has five layers in it with each of its layers corresponding to the stages in the Cultivation System.

The first layer is comprehended upon entering the First Stage, the second layer is comprehended upon entering the Second Stage, and so on so forth.

Extinction Lightning Judgement is also a Mid-Level Sky Grade Manual. It is an Essence Gathering Cultivation Manual. It also has five layers.

Sacred Luminance Mist is a Mid-Level Sky Grade Manual. It is a Soul Tempering Cultivation Technique, and it also has five layers in it.

No top power in this continent has a Sky Grade Soul Cultivation Technique, at least publically, and only the Loret Empire holds a monopoly over it. However, there were still some powers that secretly held Sky Grade Soul Forging Cultivation Manuals but failed to cultivate a worthy heir.

Loret Empire has three Sky Grade Soul Forging Cultivation Techniques. Two Low Level and one Mid-Level Sky Grade Manuals.

After getting all the Cultivation Manuals required for him to make progress in his cultivation, his father tutored him about all three Cultivation Mnaulas, further increasing his knowledge up to the second stage of all three Cultivation Systems.

"Father, I still haven't gotten an idea on how to cultivate the soul." However, Davis was still depressed. He had rather managed to comprehend the basics of even the Second Stage in Soul Forging Cultivation but still failed to see how he could cultivate his soul.

"Don't sweat it. You are still a five-year-old child. You have plenty of opportunities to try some ideas in the future."

"But…"

"No buts, you can concentrate on the other two Cultivation Systems for now…"

"Mhm?" Logan noticed something and started to leave with rather grand strides.

"Eh? Father? Where are you going?" Davis became bewildered as their discussion was not over yet.

"It's time for me to breakthrough!"

Logan excitedly smirked.
