Chapter 68: Knowledge
Now with a cultivation method and a mission, to become an E-Rank Voltac within 14 days, Lex felt that his temporary aims were clear.
There was one thing Lex couldn't shake off, he saw many differences in this reality and it was much larger and more powerful. So what if Ella didn't like him or give him a chance in this reality.
These thoughts clouded his mind thinking about the fact he only spent two days with her and he fell for her and she disappeared.
However, instead of letting that weigh him down or affect him negatively, it drove him to want to become stronger and better so Ella would accept him.
He knew it was naive and ignorant, but he wasn't willing to leave behind what he felt when he first met her and if there was any chance for them to be together Lex would do anything for it without hesitation.
Lex now had a useable amount of energy in his body and as he circulated it while running for long periods, as the only way of transportation he was currently able to use, his body was also strengthening slightly at the same time.
His next mission, which he accepted previously, was situated nearby to him and had the same task as his first mission and was requested by the same family.
There were wild beasts causing havoc in the slums, yet none of the powerful levellers seemed to care or do anything about it. Lex was earning Spirit Coins, battling and helping out those who can't help themselves.
It was day and was very difficult for Lex to run through the crowded streets and find a beast during the day, but he felt that cultivation wouldn't help him now as he was saturated with energy and his body couldn't take any more for the time being.
[System how many meridians do I have open and how many do others on this continent have open] he asks curiously, remembering when the Originator Eye Demon had control of his body.
{Ding, There are altogether 360 meridians throughout the body and act as energy bridges and storages between the 12 main meridians. The twelve main meridians are split into two categories: Yin meridians and the Yang meridians.
The Yang meridians are situated in the Large Intestine, Small Intestine, Triple Burner, Stomach, Bladder, and Gall Bladder and the Yin meridians are situated in the Lung, Heart, Pericardium Spleen, Kidney, and Liver.
The 12 main meridians are found in the main organs of the body and are the largest storages and most important meridians in the body, and the other 348 acts as bridges and links between them and are spread throughout the boy.
The meridians define a cultivator's talent and ability to absorb energy from the atmosphere, but it is extremely hard to improve it and would require immensely valuable treasures or heavenly techniques that need abundant amounts of energy.
Currently, those known as energy levellers have the main meridians open and a few minor meridians open, which is what allows them to store energy within them and use it through their power.
However, those body levellers only have the main meridians open and don't have any minor meridians, which is why they can only use the energy that is absorbed to strengthen their bodies directly and their muscles and bones will store the energy.
Without cultivation methods, they are merely relying on what they can feel which is less efficient and the overall outcome is weaker.
The host knows this, but now as somebody aware of what real cultivation is and has enough basic knowledge there are many other things that the host needs to learn.
What people call powers, is merely their spiritual roots and without spiritual roots, you cannot cultivate your energy.
Spiritual roots come in various forms such as beast spiritual roots, elemental spiritual roots and have infinite possibilities due to mutation, and are used as the core while absorbing and cultivation your energy} explains the system.
So much information at once Lex was overloaded and streamed as much energy that he could into his feet and used Kano as well to jump and land on a house where he can digest the information.
After a few minutes, he realised that everything that everyone thought was to do with levelling or science had a more profound and strong root from cultivation.
[What about beast powers] he asks.
{Ding, beast powers, which are unknown to most on this continent due to the royal families withholding the information, are the absorption of the beast's soul after its death and an ability is formed from the entire body and the soul.
Beast Souls most of the time dissipate after death, but there is a minimal chance that the beast soul enters the killer's body after its death and enters the beast power or soul library.
They can manifest in many unique ways and are very profound and have many applications.
Also....}
[Also what] screams Lex within his mind enthralled by the consistent stream of knowledge.
{Ding, the rest of the information is withheld due to your lack of power.
The system would recommend the host to look at the present and not too far into the future}
Hearing this, Lex felt that the more he found out, the less he knew.
Contemplating all the knowledge he had, there were so many things he didn't know and was curious about, but decided he would put them on hold, but make sure to find about about them.
The origin of the Originator Eye Demon, Ashura and Kano, who all seem to have mysterious and unimaginable origins.
He also didn't know anything about the Lower Plains apart from that the small continent he was on was tiny compared to the wide Lower Plains.
Thinking about the present, he had a few tasks before him that he should focus on and would lead to him finding out more and gaining more knowledge.
[The wild beasts in the slums, the Voltiac Guild and the royal families. I am thinking to far ahead of my current position and am still in the outer area of the Outer Aria and still want to think about reaching the royal families] he realises.
"Let's deal with the task at hand and defeat these pesky beasts" he mumbles as he jumps off the house he was on and heads deeper into the Outer Aria slums.
