Chapter 161 - Immorality At Third Stage?! (WTF)

Aditya read them all and remained quiet for some more minutes. While everyone's eyes were set on Aditya, Aryan took a look at the board again and read them thoroughly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Water-Based Games: With the increasing GDP all over the world, people nowadays not only want good food and clothing, but they also want good entertainment to pass their time. And water-based games hold a major part in this.

Fishing, Boating, Swimming, Diving, Underwater dating, all these things come under the category of water-based games....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some more things were written below that explaining some more points about money earnings and revenue generation, but Aryan didn't read them again.

Aditya finally opened his mouth and said, "Ten out of ten."

"Ha!! Knew it. I am worth more than ten, but well I will do work with a ten," said Grand Elder and took his seat near Sen.

"Now that we have got business in it mom are you up for it?" asked Aditya.

Granny Kotori looked towards him while sipping her tea elegantly and showed a thumb to him. It was a green signal from her side.

Aditya was pumped up now to finish that project and give its blueprint for manufacturing.

Back to the main topic, it was a special day for Sen that day. He was about to awaken his powers on that day. Aryan searched through the memory of the personality named Sen and found out that in that world children awaken their power at the age of ten only.

Like the previous time in the old world this time too, the Grand Elder of this new world asked Sen about the different types of cultivation and the aim of cultivation.

Aryan was tempted to say it like the first time as he had done in the Kalinga Palace, but he put a hold on his mouth and asked Grand Elder to explain again since he had some confusion about it.

Like the Grand Elder of the old world, this new one too explained him about cultivation and its different types.

According to him the aim of cultivation was to understand the flow of the universe. And use it accordingly as per my advantage.

Listening to this new aim of cultivation Aryan got some doubt in his mind, without doing any delay he asked out his doubt since he knew the person sitting near him will be more than happy to clarify his doubts for him.

"Gramps, I have a doubt. You said the aim of cultivation is to understand the flow of the universe and use it accordingly as per my advantage, right?"

"Yes,"

"Then my doubt is understanding the profoundness of the universe and understanding the flow of the universe, are they both the same thing or different?"

Grand Elder frowned over his question and asked him from where did he hear that term, "Understanding the profoundness of the universe." 

Sen dodged that question by saying that he had heard it somewhere and was a bit confused about it.

Grand Elder made a long, "I see~~~~~~" and started to explain him about the two terms.

According to Grand Elder understanding, the profoundness of the universe means mastering the elements of the universe.

This time Sen frowned at his explanation and asked him the meaning of "Elements of the universe."

"Harmony, Time, Space, Dimension, Spirit….etc are some of the elements of the universe." Replied Grand Elder.

Aryan was somewhat shocked after hearing out the elements because those were the names of the power that he had inherited from the Seven Sages.

Seeing the lil boy contemplating over something Grand Elder stopped his explanation and gave him some time to think. After some minutes, when Aryan realized that Grand Elder had stopped and was looking towards him, he asked him to continue without stopping.

Grand Elder gave him an "Okay" and started his explanation again.

According to him, cultivation has eight stages:

First Stage: Foundation Building

Second Stage: Soul Building

Third Stage: Immortal

Fourth Stage: Sage

Fifth World: Elemental Sage

Sixth Stage: Elemental Emperor

Seventh Stage: Universal Sage

Eighth Stage: Sage god

Like the previous time, this time too, he got a headache after listening to the cultivation stages of this new world. When he was in the new era of cultivation, on his fifth birthday Grand Elder told him that anyone can achieve immortality in a hundred years or two by using the new method of cultivation and the chakra energy, introduced by the Seven Sages.

At that time immortality could be achieved on the fifth stage of the cultivation, but now he was hearing that it was achievable at the third stage of cultivation!!

His mind was in complete chaos at that time. He didn't even know if that was a dream or a reality. A transmigration or a parallel universe.

In olden times immortality was something that every cultivator wanted to achieve. And to do that they had to walk a path of hardship, losses, and pains.

But here, they were getting immortality at the third stage, like getting a chocolate bar from a shop.

'Just what in the world is going on here?!' screeched Aryan in his mind.

Now that his mind was in a mess he asked out the meaning of immortality to Grand Elder.

Grand Elder laughed and said, "Becoming a being who can't be killed is called immortality."

Now that he was clearer about the meaning of immortality another question popped up in his mind.

In ancient times cultivators had the idea that once they become an immortal, they can live as they wanted to be. Without the fear of others. But now that he found out some more stages above immortality he wanted to know the necessity of achieving them.

"Gramps, just a quick question. What's the necessity of achieving the other stages, after achieving immortality? I mean after becoming an immortal no one will be able to kill you, so what's the reason we should ascend to higher stages?"

"That's an interesting question. Not many kids ask about it." Muttered Grand Elder and answered his question.

"The thing is, even if you become an immortal and no one can kill you what will happen if we place ten strong immortals at one place?" asked Grand Elder.

"Uh… They will fight for power….."

"Yes, they will fight for supremacy, and to win such a fight one have to ascend higher."

"I see~~~"

"Yes, and not only that some have to ascend higher to maintain the peace in the society. So it became common long ago to ascend higher and not to stop at immortality."

"Oh~~!!"

"And not only that, there are some other ways too through which an immortal can be defeated. Like trapping him somewhere, or sealing his soul or his body somewhere, putting him or her to an eternal sleep….. and so on."

After hearing him out he understood the reasons and the necessity of ascending higher and didn't contemplate any further on it.

"So you are clear about it? Or anything else you want to ask?"

"No, I am clear," replied Aryan.

"Good, moving to the next topic, we will be visiting the sage garden today, there you will awake your cultivation star and get your cultivation technique."

"Okay," said Aryan, and didn't ask any further questions.

This time he had a memory of the personality called Sen who knew everything about awakening processes and procedures.

After gossiping and discussing for some more time the entire family got ready to leave for the sage garden.

Aryan was curious to see how they will travel there. By flying or by any transportation. But all his anticipation was crushed when his gramps gathered everyone around him and opened the door to go outside.

Aryan was thinking the door would lead them out of the mansion. And as predicted it led them out of the mansion, but a little too far out of the mansion.

The door opened a portal just before the entrance of the sage garden.

Aryan took the first step out and entered the vast garden before him. Even in his memory of the last ten years, he had never been to the sage garden before.

It was his first time there.

On a closer look, the sage garden was somewhat similar to the heavens garden of his old world.

Following Aryan, the others too entered the sage garden and made their way towards a giant gate present there.

Aryan was somewhat surprised after seeing the gate and wanted to ask something about it. When suddenly he felt a pain in his stomach.

He tried to suppress the pain but the pain kept on increasing. Grand Elder noticed it and waved his hands towards him. Suddenly, the pain vanished and Aryan started to feel good again.

"Gramps?!"

"Ahahahaha, looks like your soul sea is about to burst open. We shouldn't delay it any further."

"Yes, we shouldn't," agreed the other and hurried to the giant gate before them.

Sen too followed them and reached near the gate.....
