Orion and the Primordial System

Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Towards the Celestium Continent Part 2



High in the skies of the Celestium Continent, where the wind currents carried the whisper of power, the Temple of Dao made of the powers of Orion and Lyra rose, floating among luminous clouds. The sky around it shone in shades of gold and silver, while rays of light flickered through the clouds, creating arcs and spirals that seemed to draw the Dao itself in the firmament. The clouds below formed a tranquil sea, from which ethereal hills and mountains emerged, distant and almost unreal, like visions of a world beyond mortal comprehension. The air there was charged with an ancient and powerful energy, reverberating like the echo of countless ages of cultivation.

In the center of this celestial scene, a gigantic palace of white jade hovered, its walls ornamented with glittering runes that told the story of immortal conquests. In the main hall, the Hall of Dao Emperors, a vast courtyard opened up, with thrones arranged in a circle. Each throne was unique, carved from rare and sacred materials, and represented the power and identity of its occupant. A solemn silence hung in the air, broken only by the gentle breeze that carried fragments of conversation.

Upon these thrones sat the legendary teachers of the Dao Temple of the Eryndor Imperial Academy, guardians of the deepest secrets of cultivation. They looked down upon the heavens and the realms below, their piercing gazes full of wisdom, piercing the vastness of worlds.

Upon the throne made of Star Crystal, Grandmaster Shenlong, whose domain was the Dao of the Sword, stood in an austere posture. His robes flowed like shooting stars around his slender body, and his sword rested at his side, exuding an aura as sharp as space itself. He was the first to speak, his voice cutting through the air like a blade.

"The students are... acceptable," Shenlong said, his eyes narrowing as if he were calculating every detail of the disciples. "But few truly understand the essence of the Dao of the Sword. They wield their weapons with strength, but lack the true heart of a blade. Only when the sword is an extension of the soul will they reach their true potential."

On the throne of Eternal Flames, Master Yanxia, ​​ruler of the Dao of Primordial Fire, sighed. The flames around her danced in a serene yet fierce rhythm, reflecting the indomitable nature of her strength. Her eyes, red as embers, glowed with intensity.

"Raw potential is abundant, but control is what is lacking. My students are like wildfires, but they must learn to channel that fury into a refined flame. Those who do not master the fire become consumed by it. I have observed one or two who may be able to master the true Primordial Fire, but the journey will be long."

Beside him, on the Lunar Lotus Throne, made of silver lotus flowers and bathed in soft moonlight, sat Master Lianyi, mistress of the Dao of Spirit. Her countenance was as calm as the surface of a lake at night, but her eyes shone with unfathomable wisdom. Her voice was soft, almost like a whisper that mingled with the wind.

"The spirit is the thread that connects everything," she said, her gaze distant. "Many of our students are restless in spirit, and few possess the serenity to hear the melody of the universe. The rush to attain power obscures the true path. However, there are those who are beginning to hear… and these few are promising."

On the throne of Divine Thunder, carved from crystallized lightning, Master Tianlei, lord of the Dao of Lightning, smiled confidently. Lightning snaked around his body, crackling in the air with raw, untamed energy. He crossed his arms, his voice reverberating like distant thunder.

"My disciples are like storms ready to explode. Their raw power is impressive, but control is the true test. Some are beginning to learn to harness the lightning within themselves, but they have a long way to go before they become a true immortal storm. I see potential, but the road to mastering the Dao of Lightning is treacherous."

The conversation between the masters grew more intense as each defended their approach and the potential of their students. The air around them vibrated with the collision of powerful auras, but there was a mutual respect between these ancient cultivators.

On the central throne, made of Imperial Gold, sat Orion, whose aura seemed to connect all the Daos around him. He was the final voice and the supreme presence in the Temple. His eyes shone like twin suns, and his voice, when he finally spoke, was like the sound of mountains moving.

"Every teaching brings challenges and opportunities," Orion said, his tone calm but full of authority. "But remember, gentlemen, that the Dao is an endless journey. There is no final destination, only evolution. Watch your students closely, but remember to guide them with patience. The Celestium Continent does not forgive the reckless, but rewards the determined."

With these words, a new silence fell.

The students of the Temple of Dao arrived at Coastal City, on the ocean that cuts through the continents of the world of Aeternum, the legendary place where the winds of the mortal world met the celestial currents. The sky above the city was a deep blue, and the clouds formed luminous paths for those destined to embark on their adventures.

The students, each immersed in their own thoughts, reflected on the words of their masters.

The divine cube, an artifact granted by Orion, was firmly in their hands. This object shone with a soft light, carrying within it the power that would transport them to the Celestium continent.

As they approached the city, they came across the enormous platform made of a combination of celestial wood and spiritual gold that stood at the entrance to the city.

The city was suspended over the ocean, supported by pillars of energy that connected it. Around the platform, enormous statues of ancient cultivators, gods, and mythical beings guarded the entrance.

In the middle of the group of students, Kairos, one of the most promising disciples of the Dao of the Sword, looked at the divine cube in his hand. Beside him, Lian of the Dao of the Spirit, and Jin, a disciple of the Primordial Fire, exchanged glances.

The great crystal gate that led into the city slowly opened. Each one, with a mixture of anxiety and excitement, walked to the center of the city and placed their divine cubes in front of them and recited an activation spell, whereupon a powerful rune began to glow.

With a deep sound that reverberated through the heavens, the runes exploded into light. In the blink of an eye, the students felt their bodies being pulled by an invisible force, as if they had been swallowed by the very essence of space. Within seconds, the world around them fell apart, and when they reassembled themselves, they were faced with a sight that left them speechless.

The ground beneath their feet was pure crystal, reflecting the golden skies above. Majestic mountains floated in the distance, and the winds that blew carried an immeasurable power, almost as if they were sentient. Jade trees, which seemed to be made of pure life energy, stretched across the horizon, their imposing trunks glowing with a soft light.

And then, in the center of it all, they stood there. Orion, the Emperor, and Lyra, his Empress. Their auras dominated the surroundings, vast and unfathomable as the heavens themselves. Orion wore celestial armor made of gold and jade, radiating a presence that made the very air around him vibrate. Lyra, at his side, wore robes of cosmic silk, her immortal beauty rivaled only by the immense power that emanated from her aura.

Around them, the teachers of the Temple of the Dao waited. Each of the masters, now with an even more formidable presence, watched their disciples with critical but proud eyes.

Orion took a step forward, his gaze piercing into the soul of each of the young cultivators.

"Welcome to the Celestium Continent," her voice echoed through space, like the roar of a celestial dragon. "This is where your destinies will be forged. This is the battlefield where you will prove your worth, or be consumed by the forces of this world."

Lyra smiled softly, her voice like a celestial melody.

"The trials here will be many, but those who triumph will find true ascension. Remember, the Dao is not just power, but balance and understanding. Only those who are worthy may stand by our side."

The students, feeling the weight of these words, bowed before Orion and Lyra, silently swearing that they would not disappoint their masters.

"You will set out on your journeys accompanied by guardians, but make no mistake, they will not be your babysitters," Orion declared majestically.

"I will found a sect somewhere on the continent. But each student's mission will be to survive and cultivate until they become the strongest on the Celestium continent in ten thousand years. Only then will you be allowed to return to the sect. If you wish, you may return to Eryndor to live there," he continued, his calm gaze sweeping over the assembled geniuses.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" They answered in unison, with firmness and confidence in their own potential.

Lyra and Orion floated in the clouds, completely alone. Orion extended his senses and contemplated the entire continent, visualizing its history throughout the ages.

"Come, my love," Orion said in a loving tone.

"Hahaha, and that air of majesty you put on in front of the young people?" Lyra laughed, imitating Orion's posture exaggeratedly. "This is where your destinies will be forged! This is the battlefield where you will prove your worth or be consumed..." she recited, putting on a dramatic voice before bursting into laughter. "Hahaha!"

"Did you know that the teachers are some of the strongest in the multiverse? What will be left of a mortal world with them as guardians? Hahaha!" Lyra continued, laughing and shaking her head.

Orion sighed, a little slyly. "I had to follow the script, my dear," he said, grimacing in embarrassment, his face slightly flushed.

"Ahhh, okay, my great make-believe emperor," Lyra teased, giving him a light shove, still laughing.

"And now, what are we going to do?" Lyra asked, struggling to contain her laughter.

"Phew... now I need to build a sect and leave another 'I' in charge. That way, we can continue our adventure alone," Orion replied, already beginning to dream of what was to come.

The first step was to choose a strategic location, which was easy for Orion.

The chosen location was a valley surrounded by majestic mountains and dense forests, where spiritual energy flowed like a river, and the auroras danced in the sky, providing a constant spectacle, this place was far from the empires and Sects of the continent.

At the center of the sect, he erected the Temple of Dawn, a colossal structure made of luminous stone that glowed softly under the sunlight. The walls of the temple were adorned with ancient inscriptions, telling the story of the great cultivators. At the top of the temple, a crystal dome reflected the daylight and the colors of the aurora, creating a magical atmosphere that would inspire all who entered it.

Around the temple, Orion built cultivation pavilions, each dedicated to a specific branch of spiritual cultivation. One pavilion was dedicated to the cultivation of fire energy, another to water, and so on, each designed to make the most of the valley's energies. Mystical plants grew in abundance, each possessing unique properties that would help disciples hone their skills.

In an adjacent area, the Celestial Gardens were created, filled with rare herbs and sweetly fragrant flowers. Here, disciples could meditate and absorb the natural energies of the environment, providing a space of serenity and inspiration.

One of Orion's greatest prides was the Hall of Geniuses, where talented cultivators could train and learn from the greatest masters. This place would have a vast library, filled with ancient tomes and rare texts on cultivation techniques, combat strategies, and philosophy. Classes would be taught by renowned masters from across the multiverse, ensuring that his disciples received the best training possible.

Finally, Orion erected the Great Portal, a magical structure that connected the Celestial Dawn Sect to other realms. This portal would allow disciples to seek challenges in other worlds and bring back knowledge and resources to enrich the sect.
