《Stars' Boundless Domain》Chapter 5 - Arcadia
Advertisement
Lios woke up, stretched himself and yawned.
“Today is the first day of school, huh…”
After saying goodbye to the principal, Aria took Lios to the school dormitory that had just opened and said goodbye to Lios.
After that, Lios ate in the dining hall and went to his dorm-room
Lios dressed the uniform that was in his room before he returned after dinner.
It was red vest with a gold letter A embroidered and a black shirt with black pants, for shoes it was black leather boots.
It was told to Lios yesterday by Aria that the class roster would be given at the entrance of the dormitory.
Lios descended the staircase and went to talk to the gatekeeper of the dormitory
“Hello, I would like to ask about the class roster for new students mister Aviro.”
“Oh… Lios right? here they are, behind is a map of the school.”
After receiving the class roster, Lios said thanks and started checking the classes he was enrolled in.
The first class was a short explanation on cultivation and it’s realms and later it was free time for training your cultivation understanding.
Because each technique was unique, different timings of cultivation were required, and each technique had different strengths
While having thoughts such as how would be to cultivate Lios started walking to the class.
“The 5 major Realms of cultivation are Human, Mundane, Immortal, Heavenly, Saint. They are then divided into minor sub-realms, they are called Levels, there are 5 Levels for every Realm, and each level is then divided into 3 parts, lower, middle, upper. So a Middle Level 4 Mundane cultivator would be stronger than a Lower Level 1 Human Cultivator.”
Lios was attentively listening to the class, not really caring about his surroundings.
“But what is cultivation? it is to cultivate your body, make it stronger with the energies between heaven and earth, and to begin cultivating you need to enter a stage of self enlightenment through meditation, but in the past era there was an evolution of techniques that were born in this world, those techniques help you reach the enlightenment and empty your mind. So I will help the class choose the techniques that they are most comfortable with”

Someone then started speaking.
“Teacher, where are those techniques?”
“Well, do you remember how the text appeared before saying your cultivation technique name? Try to remember how you felt as that text appeared, that is an access to the World Library that has existed since time immemorial, those that want to leave their techniques behind for those of the new generation to use leave it there, unless it is confidential, it is left in the World Library. So try to focus on yourself and remember how you felt, come on class, everyone try it.”
Lios closed his eyes and started to remember the formations on the floor when he went to discover his talent.
He could remember them to every fine detail, his memory seemed to be a strong point about himself, Lios imagined himself standing again on those runes and slowly walking towards the center of the circle, he imagined the runes glowing and the sensation he got on discovering his cultivation technique, he strongly focused on that point, the discovery, when suddenly a strong light started shining in front of him and wind started blowing strongly.
Lios heard screams, they were the voices of his classmates, he quickly opened his eyes to see that there was something forming in front of him, he reached his hands and the light started to shine brighter and the wind stopped.
A book was floating in front of him, he reached his hand and grabbed the book, his classmates were astonished at him, with a face that said that he was something dangerous.
The book had something written on the cover, it was “Inner World Formation”, there was a golden lock on the book, matched with golden embroideries.
The class resumed later without much commotion, people gor their books with their own effort, but no one got one like the one Lios did, no wind blowing or light shining, the book just appeared on their tables.

Lios thought that was a bit strange, why was he the only different one? but didn’t put much thought into it, he thought it was just something that happened because of the book, which in turn increased his curiosity to the book.
After the class ended it was cultivation time, everyone was supposed to find a place they were comfortable with on the school grounds and read their books, Lios quickly left the classroom and went to a place he saw earlier in the way to the classroom, it was a flower garden, in the middle there was a bench for observing, Lios got strangely attracted to that place and went there to cultivate.
When he got there, there was a person sitting on the bench, but luckily it was a two person bench so Lios sat next to that person, he didn’t pay attention to the person he was next to and just started staring at the book, he first examined the lock on the book, the book didn’t open until he touched the lock with his index finger for examination, after observing he saw that the book would open and close the lock when he touched it with his right hand index finger.
He started reading the book, he reads carefully page after page, the book was by no means simple, but strangely Lios could understand everything in it, like the book was somehow destined to him.
The book talked about a strange form of meditation, one had to absorb the energy of the sun, so it couldn’t be done at night, and the energy of water, so it had to be done close to a body of water.
The place he was now fitted the criteria, as it was day and the garden had a scenic lake he could start meditating now and so he did.
The first month of school was mostly filled with cultivation time and strangely, there was always a person when Lios went to meditate on the garden, it was a girl, she wore the B class uniform, it was the same as the one of the A class, but the vest was blue, she had long black hair and purple eyes, but Lios didn’t give too much attention to her, just meditated all month.
The technique of the book was as followed, one had to absorb the energy of the sun to form a small sun inside your spiritual body, with the sun formed concentrate in absorb both the energy of the sun and of the lake to create a small world that was bound to the sun, when the small world was created one had to gather moons, moons were formed by your cultivation, when one gathered 10 moons one could advance to the next cultivation level, that was the Inner World Formation technique and when the inner world was formed you were a Lower Level 1 Human cultivator, currently Lios was steadily advancing towards the Level 2 with 5 moons, he was at Middle Level 1 Human.
