Cativation - Chapter 1
”Damned. Now that old bastard Elephant sent me to Earth, I can forget about reaching Immortail realm. The amount of souls there is pitiful few. What a shit luck I have.” Lamented Bluetail while his soul tunneling through the space time tunnel.
Earth is rumored to be cultivation hell. Each race have a different cultivation method. For example, human use elemental energy, lizard race absorb nutrients from meat they eat and so on. Cat and fox have a cultivation method of themselves too. They are famous for being spiritual creature, often using psychic attacks like illusion or charm which place great important on cultivating the soul. Thus they use soul energy to improve their cultivation.
Soul energy is generated from the dead. When someone die, about seventy percent of their soul will go to hell to have a chance to reborn, the remain thirty percent will dissipate in the air, turn into soul energy.
Earth is cultivation hell because the most dominance race on Earth: human, can’t cultivate, there simply isn’t enough elemental energy on Earth. If they can’t cultivate, there won’t be constant bloodshed nor wars, without wars, not enough people will die, which in turn making the concentration of soul energy thinner and thinner. Cultivation there will be twice the effort and half the results.
Every soul will be send to their new fetus body through a space time tunnel respective to that planet. A cat or a fox soul will slowly having their memory locked until they reached the end of the tunnel, at which point they will completely forget about their previous life.
Even though Bluetail soul is being sucked with a tremendous speed, it will still take him quite some time to arrive.
Suddenly, a huge explosion occurred in the horizon. The shock wave blasted out with a radius of billions of kilometer, severing all space time tunnels in its path. It passed right behind Bluetail, almost cleave off his tail along with Earth’s space tunnel. Bluetail couldn’t help but feels chill run down his spine.
Bluetail could already see Earth, but with the tunnel severed, the pulling force is also weakened. ” I will probably be sucked into space once the pulling force completely extinguished. Without oxygen, I will be deader than dead there”.
He extended both of his small arms and pushing his legs, trying desperately to swim for his life. He didn’t know that it’s impossible to move in reborn space time tunnel. However, the tunnel source was disconnected thus no more laws presided over it. His act of swimming actually worked and he is speeding to Earth.
.
Once arrived at the destination, souls will temporary passed out, as it needs time to fuse with the fetus. After 9 months, its will be awakened at the same time the baby is born.
.
”Why it’s suddenly so cold? Oh, it’s get warmer and soft. Someone is licking me”. Bluetail opens his eyes. He is laying in his mother embrace with his siblings. His mother is cleaning them up.
” I need to drink milk now to get my body stronger, so I can start to cultivate earlier, the concentration of soul energy in this world is already this thin. Wait a second…”. His eyes are wide open in disbelief, he still has his memory!
” What is happening?”. He turns around and see his siblings opening their eyes wide in disbelief as well.
” I don’t know neither.”
” It must be because of the explosion earlier, our space time tunnel was severed. It lost it’s contact with the Hell Judges so they can’t seal our memory”. Said a baby cat.
” What is the point ? This planet soul energy is truly too thin as rumored. Twice the effort and half the results, I think I will use this life to relax and play”. Lamented a chubby one.
” It’s better than being dead. Anyway, we will be with each other for sometime, let’s do some introduction. I am Bluetail, this is already my ninth life and I am at Soul Splitting stage.” Bluetail introduced himself.
Bluetail has only 3 siblings in this life, one brother and two sisters. The chubby brother’s name is Bacon, seventh life and at Soul Tempting stage. Cloud is at Soul building stage while Water isn’t even started to cultivate yet. Cloud is already at her third life while this is Water first life.
” I am tired, I will go back to sleep, you guys have fun.” With that, Bacon went back to drink milk and fall at sleep in a corner.
”Bluetail, you are the one with highest cultivation here, so you will be naturally our eldest brother! Since you still have your memory, can you guide me a bit on cultivation? This is my first life after all.” Said Water.
”This girl, first day of her life and already sweet talking this good” Cloud curled her lips.
”Alright. Normally you will naturally know about it after some years when you unlock the information your clan sealed, but there is no harm telling you now”. Water’s personality reminds him of his previous life sister, she was a sweet girl too.
”Us, cat place great important on soul cultivation in our first nine life. A cat soul is a puzzle case which you have to fill with puzzle pieces or soul points in official language, you start out with zero puzzle piece or zero soul point. You will slowly accumulate soul energy in the air by absorbing them to form new points. When you fill out your puzzle case, in other words, attained the maximum amount of puzzle pieces your puzzle case can hold, you need to solve it to achieve a breakthrough. A breakthrough will expand your puzzle case size. The bigger your puzzle case, the stronger your soul.”
”So you absorb soul energy to get puzzle pieces, you get a chance to breakthrough once you fill your puzzle case right? Sound simple!” Pondering Water.
”Yes. That’s the basic. The bigger your case, the stronger your soul. Also, every family clan seal this information on the second slot of your puzzle case, you will naturally know all this once you reach two soul points.” Said Cloud.
Nodded Bluetail. ”This is your first time cultivating, you should see that your puzzle case is a 2*2 case right? The next stage will be a 4*4 case, then 8*8 and so on. The difficult increase exponentially later on. Breakthrough is also a major obstacle as you need to rearrange all your pieces in correct order.”
”This is it for now, you much information won’t be any good.”
With that, Bluetail crawled next to his mother for some milk. ”She is sleeping, must be so tired giving birth to this many, luckily I am a male.” Thought Bluetail. He quickly fall asleep.
First explanation of the cultivation system! How do you like the idea of the puzzle case? Too complicate or cool?
Why puzzle case? It will be reveal later on but there is meaning to it, hint is the picture the puzzle give.
