It had been two weeks since I started living in this new world.

During the two weeks I was able to enter the first stage of the [Art of the Immemorial Soul] being the human stage.

Within my inner space, the human silhouette became more detailed than before and became an exact replica of me in pure white, while my spiritual core became larger than the size of a baby's head with a more color. sparkly. . The silver dots within my world now glowed a little brighter.

With my entry into the human stage I could feel that I became much calmer and more serene than before.

Also during this week I was able to organize myself and put my mind in order, being able to leave behind that strange feeling that I had when remembering things from my previous lives and now see them as another part of me.

I was also surprised to find that my current world is filled with spiritual energy, so I was able to cultivate the [Immemorial Soul Art] without any problem and quickly. Also thanks to the fact that the world is filled with spiritual energy added to the cultivation method, my reserve of spiritual energy was much higher than it should be, as well as its purity.

Furthermore, I not only focus on cultivating my spirit, I also cultivate my body by choosing a high-grade body forging technique. [body of the holy King] which is divided into three stages, these are the sacred body, the celestial body and the transcendent body.

Sacred body, bones, flesh, organs and meridians with the light element making them stronger, more resistant, durable and full of vitality. His bones turn pure and gleaming white.

Celestial body, your whole body is destroyed and recreated again from large amounts of energy and the element of light. Your bones turn a light golden color and your meridians expand, and at this stage your body is free of impurities. At this stage, a small core is created in your body that will nurture the cultivator of energy and element of light at all times.

The transcendent body goes through a tribulation where the body is tempered for the third time, as well as the nucleus where it is tempered and will become much larger, and the energy produced as well as the element of light will be in greater quantity and purity. .

I chose this method of body forging because I realized during this week that my "angel" race, as I decided to name it, has an affinity for the light element.

Thanks to that I was able to get the most out of this forging method, although I still could not enter the sacred stage, I could already feel the changes in my body making me think that in a week I could fully enter the first stage.

I also learned an attack skill that modifies, being [Mirage Sword] an ability that allows you to create multiple swords to attack or defend yourself. The higher the energy when creating them, the stronger they will be.

The modification I made was that I did not create my swords with spirit energy only, but also used my element of light, which caused my swords to turn a pure gold color instead of the blue color they normally would be.

My modification made the swords more lethal than their original version.

My version generated heat due to my light element, causing any cut to be accompanied by a large amount of heat cauterizing the wound immediately. I could also make them very bright to interrupt my enemies' sense of sight.

In the end I couldn't help but smile with satisfaction at the result.

However, if I have to say that these two weeks made me happy, it was the discovery that I made.

It first turned out that upon advancing to the human stage of [Immemorial Soul Art] a dark purple ring appeared orbiting my spirit core. At first I didn't know what it was about, although a bit of information came to mind.

[Spiritual age: 8,500 years]

Due to my curiosity I began to research what the ring was all about and along with my acquired knowledge from the book on soul and spirit topics.

I came to the conclusion that the purple ring was the realm it belonged to in the current world power system.

Thanks to that I was also able to access the information of the energy system that for some reason was inside the ring.

It was when I learned that the spiritual rings as they are called belong to the beasts or spirits of the soul, these spiritual rings marked their spiritual age and also differentiated their strengths.

Along with the difference in strength, the color of the spirit ring also changes.

The kingdoms that I know are viz.

Ten-year-old white-ringed beasts and spirits, hundred-year-old yellow-ringed beasts and spirits, purple-ringed millennial beasts and spirits, black-ringed ten thousand-year beasts and spirits, finally the highest realm and is the red ring that it is a hundred thousand years old.

Only from the purple rings the beasts and spirits began to awaken consciousness like that of babies, the black rings the beasts already have consciousness of a child of three to five years and the closer they are to one hundred thousand years the more developed they become. he was making his consciousness to be that of an adult human.

Also two other things to highlight and which are the most important.

When a beast reaches its ten thousand spiritual years it has a small chance of evolving into a new species, but there is another benefit but it is the rarest apparently and that is that certain beasts have ancient lineages in them and can wake up it.

Finally and the most striking.

When the beasts reach one hundred thousand years they have two paths to choose from, one being to follow beasts and gain the ability to change their appearance to that of a normal human for a time limit, but every one hundred thousand extra years they will have to suffer a tribulation of the heavens and if they survive they will only get stronger.

As well as being able to live up to a million years.

Crazy thing, since in my past the oldest person I ever witnessed was the guardian of an empire, the guardian was only five thousand years old, which is several times less than what you can live with here.

Of course, I also have to clarify that beasts not only have to live so long to become stronger, they can also cultivate and consume resources to become stronger which makes their spiritual age also increase.

So it would be normal to see beasts with a carnal age of five thousand but with a spiritual age of one hundred thousand years. But leaving that aside, let's go back to the last path to choose in the hundred thousand years.

It is being able to choose to become human by greatly reducing their age to only one hundred years, in addition they will have to cultivate from scratch and will not be able to change their form to that of beast or spirit.

Furthermore, they have to live in human society out of obligation and will have the disadvantage that they can be detected by cultivators on the human side.

All of that was what I discovered in my first week.

In my second week, already having an idea of ​​this world and some strength, I decided to go exploring, leaving the cave.

During my second week I was able to fight various beasts ranging from one thousand years to seven thousand years.

During this week I learned that the dead beasts released their spiritual ring, because I had doubts I tried to absorb it and the results were satisfactory.

Not only was I able to get food that way I would no longer have to survive using my spirit energy, but I could also get the rings of the beasts to become stronger.

From the corpses, save the important parts of the beasts, such as bones, fangs and skins.

So the cave now looked much more comfortable than before, I made a bed with the skins, bones and leaves that I found.

As well as kitchen utensils.

My spiritual age during that week went from 8,500 years to 9,850 just a small step away from the spiritual age of 10,000 years.

It was also in my second week that I was able to enter the first stage of [body of the holy king] being the sacred body.

Thanks to that my body was more vigorous and strong than before.

My overall strength adding my body and abilities would say that it would be between 12,000 years and 13,000 years.

Another thing I noticed was the beasts I fought were weak, the strongest beasts I fought was 8,320 years of spiritual age.

No matter how far I traveled the forest I never encountered ten thousand year old beasts.

This can only mean that the part I am currently in is the weakest part of the whole forest or to call it another way is the outer part of the forest.

So I decided that in a few days I would go deeper into the forest, I could also try to leave the forest and go to a human city but that thought immediately discarded.

First I am a different race and I was sure that the experts on the human side as soon as they saw me they would hunt me down.

The second is that my death from betrayal remains fresh, to always remind me not to lower my guard and not to trust others without first knowing that they can be trusted.

Or in exaggerated cases, make them my servants by marking them with my slave printing press.

This press was something I did with my acquired knowledge in case I need it later.

Although sooner or later I have to overcome the betrayal, but for now it will not be the case.

After that I spent three days wandering through the forest to increase my strength so that I could exceed ten thousand years.

Since during this time I realized that I could not open my third eye, it was when my cultivation was closer to the ten thousand year mark that he began to react realizing that my third eye would wake up with my advance.
