Chapter 57: How can I cultivate?
Akash looked at the One-Eyed Wolf.
"What about you? Will you join us in uniting these lands under one ruler or stay silent?"
The wolf replied.
"Will you give me some time to discuss this with the others?"
"Sure, I'm not in hurry."
Akash said and turned his head towards Red Mamba.
"How long will it take you to convince Golden Panther?"
"I'll go tomorrow and will inform you in a week."
"Alright, you can go then."
Both beasts left, leaving only 5 people behind.
Akash jumped down from the boulder and addressed the remaining four.
"Do you know why I chose you four instead of the others like Baghi and Zaheer who are more versed in this then you. This questions is especially for Haji Tea, As Daan and other two already proved their skills by making a gigantic empire.
Haji Tea was amazed to know such fact about the three, he then replied.
"My Liege, is it because we own these divine weapons?"
"Yes, but not only that. It's because you also inherited the cores of beasts with undisputed strength. After absorbing it, your powers and aptitudes have increased several folds."
Haji Tea stated.
"My Liege, I have yet to absorb the one you gave me."
"I know, I'll help you after collecting the cores and other useful parts from the dead beasts tomorrow."
Sohrab Khan asked.
"My King, I know the use of the cores but why the other parts of the body? Can we absorb it as well?"
Haji explained instead of Akash.
"The body parts of beasts can be used for forging top weapons and pills. We already have the Ancestor Store for weapons, that means either His Majesty will use them for other things or wants to sell them."
"Exactly, we will sell them in Abran. Many of these beasts are new and unseen to humans, they will pay a handsome price for them. We need money to increase our foothold on Earth."
Sohrab Khan understood and nodded as Akash continued.
"Let's go back, you need a rest too. Your bodies are in good condition after healing but your minds need a break."
Akash took the lead and the four followed.
~Early Morning~
Akash woke up and saw everyone was still sleeping except for a few beasts and Red Mamba.
"You didn't sleep?"
Akash asked
"No, Duke Tagar, I was waiting for you to wake up so that I could bid farewell for now before going to Golden Panther."
Red Mamba replied.
"I see, then wait a bit longer."
Akash went to the side where his people were sleeping. He woke up Baghi Tea and Zaheer Seth.
"My Liege!... Apologies, I overslept!"
Baghi said as he got up.
"Ahhh, let me a sleep longer, old fool!"
Zaheer Seth yelled but Baghi kicked him in return.
"Stand up, meek fart. His Majesty is here."
Zaheer jumped up as he heard that.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I thought it..."
Akash waved his hand and Zaheer stopped talking.
"It's okay, I have work for the both of you to do."
"What is it, My Liege?"
Both asked at the same time.
"Accompany Red Mamba to the dukedom of Golden Panther. If anything goes wrong, quickly send a message to me through the system. I'll come if needed."
"As you wish, My Liege."
"Sure, Your Majesty."
Baghi Tea and Zaheer both complied.
Then, Akash went to Mamba with both of the old men and told him.
"Take them with you."
Red Mamba replied.
"Sure, Duke. I'll leave my army behind and will take a few beasts with me."
"Okay."
"Now, if you'll excuse us."
Akash Tagar nodded as Red Mamba left with his companions and the old duo. Whereas he went to a clean area and sat in the lotus position, trying to cultivate.
"Hmm, what is this!"
After a few moments, Akash sensed something curious. He couldn't gather the surrounding cosmic powers to cultivate. He quickly asked the System.
"System, why can't I cultivate?"
*beep*
[The King doesn't need to cultivate.]
Akash was surprised.
"Then how am I supposed to breakthrough, will I be stuck at the 1st Star realm forever?"
[No, The King will use another way to breakthrough, specially made by the Creators for The King].
"What is this way?"
Akash asked in curiosity.
[After the evolution, The King has enough power to directly breakthrough to the Star King realm but the flow of cosmic powers is blocked by the Creators during the evolutions.]
Akash silently listened to the System while it continued.
[The King has already inherited all the laws and only has to awaken them.]
Akash's eyes widened as a thought invaded his mind.
"Can I check my own profile?"
*beep*
With the notification sound, Akash's profile came up on the screen.
[Name: Akash Tagar
Realm: 1st Moon, 1st Star
Aptitude: Not measurable
Learnt Laws: None
Inborn Laws: Martial Law (Awakened), Water Law (Yet to Awaken), Earth Law (Yet to Awaken), Wind Law (Yet to Awaken), Thunder Law (Yet to Awaken), Fire Law (Yet to Awaken), Ice Law (Yet to Awaken), Poison Law (Yet to Awaken), Light Law (Yet to Awaken), Darkness Law (Yet to Awaken), Life Law (Yet to Awaken), Divine Law (Yet to Awaken), Evil Law (Yet to Awaken), Spatial Law (Yet to Awaken), Time Law (Yet to Awaken), Forest Law (Yet to Awaken), Blood Law (Yet to Awaken), Summon Law (Yet to Awaken), Star Law (Yet to Awaken), Psychic Law (Yet to Awaken)
Mythical Race: Primordial Beast]
Akash gasped as his eyes widened as well, in his previous life he had wanted power but his poor aptitude prevented him from achieving it. Yet now, he had what he couldn't get then even in his wildest dreams.
Even though he knew he was special now after those evolutions, checking it with his own eyes was something different.
"How can I awake them, System?"
Akash asked.
[The King must find this out on his own.]
"Does that mean I will breakthrough as I awaken these laws, one by one?"
[No, the Creators have made unique powerful skills for the King. One skill for each law. The King must awaken one law and fully learn its corresponding skill.]
The System answered. Akash threw out another question.
"I have awakened my Martial Law, when will I get its skill?"
*beep*
[The skill has already been sent to the King's inventory, please check.]
Akash scoffed.
"You should have told me that earlier."
[The King never asked.]
Akash quickly opened the inventory and saw a scroll in a slot, he read the name written below it.
"Tyrannical Body of the Gods."
