Chapter Four - Cultivation
In a lavish room filled with rich furniture and a large bed a boy was soundless sleeping, the sun light was filling the room and
concentrating on the young boy creating a beautiful scene, as if only the boy was worthy of it.
A woman was standing besides the bed looking at the sleeping boy, she had clear blue eyes and a silky black hair that reached her knees, this woman was Freya, Queen of the Sun Empire.
“Kizar, Wake up, Wake up Kizar, Wake up”- Freya
After five minutes trying to awaken Kizar, Freya finally succeeded.
“*yawn* Morning mom”- Kizar
A rather sleepy voice sounded and Kizar slowly blinked trying to get used to the light that was entering his eyes giving it a metallic semblance.
“Good morning Kizar….Hurry up and put some clothes we need to talk, I am waiting you in the training courtyard” – Freya
“O-OK *yamn*” – Kizar
Kizar said while stretching his muscles. Getting off the bed he walked to his wardrobe and dressed with the most convenient
clothes he had, a black vest, black pants and fur white cloak torn in the ends.
(I am not good describing clothes, but they are like this:

After putting his clothes he dashed towards the training courtyard where his parents were. The training courtyard stretched
hundreds of meters and was filled with training device such as wood dummies for practicing sword arts, saber arts etc… , targets
to practice archery, hundreds of wooden poles on the ground for movements techniques and diverse others devices.

Standing in the middle of the training courtyard Freya and Arthur could be seen arguing about Kizar’s training.
“He will train in Body Refining”- Arthur
“Nooo, he will train in Ki Refining”- Freya
“Body Refining”- Arthur
“Ki Refining”- Freya
“TCH…Let’s allow Kizar decide which path he will take”- Freya
Steps were heard in the training courtyard; both of them looked at the entrance to see Kizar walking with small steps towards
them.
“Mom, Dad”- Kizar
Kizar speeded through the courtyard reaching his parents in no time with a big smile plastered on his face.
“Good morning Kizar.”- Arthur
“Morning Father”- Kizar
Kizar was confused, why his parents summoned him so early in the morning
“EHH- Father Do you need something so early?”- Kizar
“Yeah, your mother told me that you comprehended a Dao Domain yesterday…is that true?” – Arthur
Kizar nodded, confirming Arthur’s question.
“Good, it seems that we will need to start your training, first let’s start by the basics. Kizar, Do you know what we cultivators
seek?”- Arthur
Kizar shook his head.
“We cultivators absorb essence of the heavens seeking immortality, we defy the heavens but heavens don’t accept it… There are 7 stages in cultivation and each stage is divided in Early, Mid, Late and Peak.
The first stage, Essence Stage. Lifespan of a hundred years, everyone is born in this stage.
The second stage, Sea Stage. Lifespan of two Hundred years, to advance to this stage you need to compress the essence
absorbed into a sea in your Dantian
The third stage, Stellar stage. Lifespan of five hundred years, to advance to this stage you need to transform the sea in your
Dantian into a star field.
The fourth stage, Seeker Stage. Lifespan of eight hundred years, it’s in this stage where most people will start to comprehend the Daos.

The fifth stage, Path Stage. Lifespan of a thousand years, in this stage you will form a path between your soul and your Dantian.
The sixth stage, Transformation Stage, in the late stage you will be tested by the heavens. Celestial essence will enter your body and you have to transform your star field into a celestial sea. Lifespan unknown
The seventh stage, Celestial Stage, after surviving the transformation you achieved immortality, Legends says that there are other Stages after this, but we don’t know if it’s true”- Arthur
Saying it Arthur looked at Kizar, the former was with a hand on his chin contemplating everything that was said, memorizing it in
his soul, after minutes of silence Kizar spoke
“What is Body Refining and Ki Refining, I heard you and mother mentioning it”- Kizar
“Body Refining, you refine your body to be more agile, more resistant and stronger to be on par to Gods and Demons. In Ki
Refining you refine the essence, this path allows you to create formations, control Treasures and beasts, create golem etc.”- Freya
Kizar had a thoughtful expression, recollecting everything said and imprinting it in his mind.
“Hmm…What are the Techniques?”- Kizar
“Techniques… Hm, how can I explain it? Oh…I know. Techniques are developed by cultivators that comprehended the Dao, these
techniques can be used by other cultivators to comprehend the Dao of the Technique, you can comprehend a Dao either by
Techniques or contemplating Heaven and Earth, You can use these comprehensions in battles”- Arthur
Kizar nodded, affirming his comprehension.
“When will we start?”- Kizar
“Today of course… We will bring you to the Techniques Vault, so you can choose a Technique to train in”- Arthur
“I and your mom were discussing which path you will take... A ki refining or a Body Refining so… Which?”- Arthur
Kizar looked at his dad, he had put more emphasis on Body Refining with eyes filled with hope, Kizar almost said Body Refining
when his eyes accidentally dropped on his mom. She was smiling but in her eyes he could see a hidden message ‘if you choose
that you won’t have cookies’, Kizar looked away not wanting to look in her eyes.
After two minutes of silence he looked at both and said with fearful voice.
“I—I think that I will cultivate both at the same time. Can I?”- Kizar
Freya and Arthur looked at Kizar with shocked expression; following this shock madly laugh echoed in the training courtyard.
“Good…Of course, our son is a genius why can’t he cultivate both?”- Arthur
“Right, he will be the strongest person of the Three Realms…”- Freya
“Come let’s go to the Techniques hall so that you can choose a suitable Technique for you”- Arthur

8 174The Twelve
In a world marred by the supernatural, Japan suffers from its own fair share of evil and demonic disasters, with generations of shamans known as Onmyoji protecting their homeland from these forces of evil. Capable of wielding magic and using spirits of their own, these shamans were not only skilled in battle, but also divination. However, they were unable to correctly predict Japan's loss in World War Two, and suffered the punishments that followed. Persecuted and torn apart by infighting, the Onmyoji reunited under the banner of the Tsuchimikado clan, descendants of Abe no Seimei, one of the greatest Onmyoji to ever live. The Onmyoji began to rebuild and to regrow. Ren is the sole heir to the Tsuchimikado family, but has been unable to practice Onmyodo ever since his birth, even though he possesses the greatest ability in the family. But when disaster befalls his family, Ren has nobody to turn to, and no idea how to use his powers. As he journeys to escape the same fate his family faced and attempts to learn how to use his powers, there is only one question on his mind; as the Tsuchimikado heir, how can he save the Onmyoji... from themselves? ---------------------------------------------- note from author: I'm writing this based loosely on the very real theories of Onmyodo, and so my writing may not be a truthful or accurate depiction of Onmyodo or other related areas, such as religion, for instance. That is why, while depicted in the real world, events that happen may seem unrealistic and it may be easier to imagine it as a parallel universe that is the same as ours, but with slight differences so that my possible errors will be easier to overlook. Sorry, and thanks!
