2 A Father’s Love

Leon's soul lacked the brilliance it once possessed but his consciousness was still much stronger than what the average person around him would possess.

Having once experienced tribulation, shedding mortality and achieving the Divine, he had retained the ability to dive into the depths of his consciousness and inspect his soul core, which only divine practitioners are capable of performing.

Swimming through a sea of fragmented memories and into the deepest depths of his consciousness, where his soul core resides, Leon froze upon sight. His eyes swelled red as tears threaten to overflow.

At the epicenter of his soul core was one of the 10 heavenly treasure that ever existed in the history of the Divine Realm, the [Divine Book of Life].

Whether its' use to become an unparalleled doctor or its world space to store medicinal plants and all creation have to offer. To a divine practitioner, both are great uses but perhaps, it's greatest use of all has yet to be uncovered.

However, Leon did not care about any of that. The significance of the treasure being in his soul core means that it has fused with his very being, becoming one with him. He's father no longer being the master of the said treasure means his father will never reincarnate like he did.

The separation of the divine book and soul would result in the collapse of the soul's structural integrity, which further leads to true death.

A Divine King is considered a master of samsara. Even if the body dies, so long as the soul remains whole, a Divine King can never truly die.

However, it was different for the young Leon who had just stepped into the Divine, far from the peak.

The death of his body would result in the slow dissipation of his soul without the nourishment of his body. Eventually, true death will still claim.

His father knew and made the ultimate sacrifice, giving up his own life for his and sent him far away from the Divine Realm, where he could be safe and start anew. A father's love is like the mountain, weighing heavily on his heart.

The new world was lacking in spirit energy, the source of divine practice. Compared to the Divine Realm, it could be considered desolate. Perhaps it is impossible for the average person to reach the Divine state, but was he an average person?

Before returning to the Divine Realm to unleash his wrath on his father's enemies, he will not be stumped by any difficulties on his path.

Opening his eyes, Leon did not continue standing in the hallway and decided to leave.

"Hey bro, you just going to leave me like that?" Fatty Ben asked.

Leon paid him no mind and started walking away. However, before he got far, he halted his footsteps as he was struck by an immense headache.

Tapping Leon on the shoulder from the back, Fatty Ben continued, "As I was saying-."

Before he could finish talking, Leon had already fallen onto the ground, out cold.

Scratching his head, Fatty Ben was a bit bewildered at how the event unfolded.

It's apparent that his EQ was a bit lacking, but he was not stupid. Fatty Ben brought Leon to the infirmary, albeit difficultly.

…...

An endless stream of memories poured into Leon's soul core, fusing with it, as Leon relived the body's experience in the past 17 years in fast forward motion. The influx of information had put a huge strain on his soul core, causing him enormous pain unlike any fleshly wounds can inflict.

Too great to endure, Leon was unable to keep his consciousness awake. Leon felt he seem to have been unconscious for a long time but, only a few hours have passed. The last class on campus have already finished a while ago and everyone have already gone home.

Alone in the infirmary, Leon sat up in a daze. He wasn't so sure who he is anymore. He was certain he was still the son of the Divine Medicine King. However, he wasn't so sure if he had taken over the body of someone who had shared his name or he was reborn with his memory sealed, only to have it awakened later.

He wondered if poison was the catalyst that triggered the awakening, if it was the later. He also feared he would have been dead for good; if it had been a different method employed to kill him.

He must thank the person that poisoned him for the chance to awaken his memories by sending that person off to meet King Yama.

'Wait is there even a King Yama here?' Leon randomly thought. The spirit energy in the world is faint and the heavenly laws, even fainter.

Leon speculate that it should not be hard to find out who poisoned him. There can only be so many that would detest him to the point of killing him.

After all, Leon displayed extraordinary intelligence and easily got along with the female students on campus. His popularity among the ladies naturally draws the envy and animosity of the males.

Only a select few would have the courage and power to carry out the deed without repercussion.

'There's no use trying to figure out who it was now.'

Leon pushed the thought to the back of his mind. Finding the culprit was secondary. Regaining his strength takes priority. Only with overwhelming power can he protect his own life and not fear the plots and schemes of others.

plots and schemes are transient, only real strength is everlasting.

Without further distracting thoughts, Leon sat in a meditative posture and begun contemplating which cultivation technique he will use to walk the divine path once more.

[Divine Fiery God Manual] was the cultivation technique Leon had used in his past life, which was given by his father. Being the son of the Divine Medicine King, he was expected to follow in his father's footsteps and walk the path of medicine to become a renown saintly doctor. The [Divine Fiery God Manual] was a technique, which compliments the path of medicine because of its supreme fire control for pill forging.

There are 4 known grades to cultivation techniques; mortal, earth, heaven and divine. One can easily guess that the [Divine Fiery God Manual] is a divine grade cultivation technique as all divine grade techniques will have the word divine in their name.

It is logical to think that [Divine Fiery God Manual] should have been the technique Leon would pick as it is the one, he is most familiar and crossed the Divine with. However, the world is severely lacking in spirit energy, making Leon hesitant. It is unknown how long one would have to practice with it to reach his father's heights. Furthermore, the technique will only allow him to reach the same heights as the other Divine Kings. What Leon wanted was to surpass them. Only with greater strength will success be guaranteed on his path of vengeance.

Leon suddenly recalled there was once an ungraded and incomplete cultivation technique, his father had obtained from an ancient ruin with the help of 4 other Divine Kings, the [Hegemony of Primal Chaos].

The incomplete cultivation manual introduced that one would not be restricted to spirit energy and able to draw in all form of energy into the body, transforming them into primal chaos energy, the source energy of the universe.

The name and introduction allowed the Divine Kings to infer that the technique is extraordinary and possibly at a grade higher than divine. However, none was able to make any progress in the technique. In fact, no one was able to practice the technique.

It was later concluded that the manual was bogus, something an ancient being came up with when he was bored. If the ancient being was still alive, he would have been angered to death.

'I should give it another try.'
