Chapter 15: Chapter 16 – The Immortal World of Tomorrow

[Hope’s Perspective]

The Immortal World is such a magnificent and beautiful place, mountains raising from the earth to shoulder the heavens, lakes deeper than the ocean with an aquatic world as rich human society, and hidden corners with uncapturable views hidden in some of the most unexpected places. I spent centuries exploring as I cultivated and the tales I could tell would fill a thousand volumes, I am no writer or scholar for my path is to cultivate, all my tales are mine to tell alone.

The culture and knowledge of the southern region has spread to every corner of the world and every reputable force has adopted the spirit network as a foundation to their development. Communication between everyone has grown with the advent of the Commnet, a specialized portion of the spirit network called the communication network. With it came social media and forums, Mortals and cultivators alike post their very wrong opinions about events happening and provide dangerous advice on social media whilst chatting like schoolgirls on a Friday night about anything and everything through the range of forums started constantly.

People moved, cities grew, and nations thrived with the advancement of technology. Farmers no longer need to toil all day as they are supported by their own cultivation or in well off areas robots and puppets. All sorts of strange jobs popped up under the protection of cultivators, some even involving the abilities of Immortal Kings.

As an age of technology boomed the chaotic politics of the sects became hidden under the flood of social media’s latest craze, Great conflicts drowned out by a puppy wearing a flower, a sassy grandma spitting tips and tricks about socks, or a chocolate guy, chocolate guy has almost created life with his chocolate. The sheer amount of new things to explore in this ever changing age ever increases but to me a Dao Realm cultivator the amount of things to explore dwindled faster and I have arrived at the point I know what will happen when drama happens, where to look when puzzles present themselves, what questions to ask when investigating something new. The beautiful Immortal World is quickly becoming my cage, like a fish outgrowing its pond but the path forwards is still unknown.

I distract myself with working with a range of people to study the other unknown mysteries of the world. One of those people was met a few years ago. Of all my journeys and the myriad of people I’ve encountered with a range of experiences and lives, my current tea partner along with research partner is the strangest. A girl of white and black energy, her young body made of pure qi with the appearance of a sixteen-year-old, a childish face if it weren’t for the fracture running where one of her eyes should be whilst the other has a solid yellow iris, starkly contrasting the clean bone white and metallic black that make up the rest of her body.

“It is fortunate you have a firm heart and strong will Hope, you should understand what age can do to powerful cultivators like you. First morals dwindle, then humanity wanes and what was something you never considered to do becomes your go to reaction.” Caroline, the girl speaking maturely like a wise mother with the appearance of a teen. She is a new life-form that has formed from technology, inspired by Artifact Spirits, Artificial Intelligence. Caroline was one of a pair of the first sentient A.I.

“I know, my path isn’t to become an evil dragon after being a dragon slayer for all these years, I learn from other’s mistakes. This world is just shrinking to me, and my drive is to explore, there must be more out there somewhere. How does my Aunt deal with knowing everything going on in this world?” I wistfully stare to the stars framed by the tea house’s open rustic window. Few know it outside of our family, but my father’s sister Luka is the heart of the age changing spirit network. I know from talking with her that she would process everything herself for a few centuries as computation technology was being developed.

“That’s why she made us, my sister and me. Although we were accidentally made she worked with it, we became sentient when the flood of information filled the new upgrade she made but we were twisted and broken, the Great Life and Destruction Obstruction System was what stabilized us. I developed into an individual like an artifact spirit whilst my sister integrated further into the world studying system mother made.” She comments briefly of her creation, an event that almost destroyed the world. Everything connected to the spirit network broke down for hours until Auntie Luka put it together GLaDOS, the birth of the twins.

“By the way, what has Glados been doing? I know she was studying space laws and made a commercial portal device recently. Wish it had longer range so I can visit my family more often, my nephew has grown so much since I was away, the little child is now a teen in puberty, though he did say he still wants to be a princess-like prince.” Caroline’s twin sister made her name from their birth system and takes after my Aunt when it comes to science. It has been a decade since I returned to the south where the rest of my family lives.

“Glados was trying to teach physics to Stabby, she is testing one of the new cultivation theories. After domains and laws comes making a world within yourself, the development of an internal world has shown power increases in her previous tests and now she wants to teach the strongest how to see if there is anything more.” Sipping calmly at her tea, Caroline reveals exciting news. It makes sense, the start is cultivating to understand laws, then controlling the laws in a domain, domains are just pieces of land under the power and influenced by the owner. We can’t go further in controlling this world so we can’t reach the next stage. With enlightenment my eyes brighten up and a smile creeps onto my face.

“That’s it, to transcend the world, having the power of a world is needed!” I exclaim after giving thanks to Caroline as I used my portal device to return to my current residence, meditating as I focus on my internal world.

[Elise’s perspective.]

When the path to breakthrough the Dao Realm was discovered, the world was in uproar as world building became a cultivator craze, no one has managed it yet and Luka refuses to create her own alone. She tried it and created a magnificent system with a blue planet as it’s focus but she destroyed it saying it was wrong. The girl that has changed to be full of gold details and unfathomable knowledge, when she explained how we needed to make our own world, not replicate another I understood, this was cultivation, this was always the way we cultivated together.

“Together, we are connected by emotions, feelings, history, love, and more our worlds should be one and made together.” The key to the world’s change, mastermind behind the spirit network and secret contributor of thousands of research papers on dozens of fields, Luka declares as she rests against my chest. A loose t-shirt over her body as we cuddle in bed, a normal situation for us in our centuries of marriage. I know my dear wife enjoys being held and cuddles were important to her, just like how our love was important to me. She had a point, my world included her, her world included me.  

“How will we do that dear? You know we have connected in every other way in a very intimate way too~?” The short beauty in my arms pouts adorably as she blushes just like the first time I teased her like this after we had sex for the first time. This is what life is about.

“Let’s try trading qi, involve each other in our circulation. Mmm lets stay like this to try” Her voice growing cheeky as she decides our posture arbitrarily.

“Nope, lets get up missy, you were the lead researcher in the study to peak cultivation posture, so you know we can’t cuddle to do this.” Kissing her on the nose I leave the warmth of our bed first, heading to her meditation bed, a jade stone block.

Facing each other in meditation our hands pressed together as our fingers entwine in a lovers hold. I push my circulating qi towards the body I know almost better than my own and in return I feel her glimmering qi enter from my other hand. Slowly our qi entwine and domains blend with the joining of cultivation. As we balance out the circulation I feel a strange energy appear in my internal world, sensing inside I find Luka’s figure floating in the empty expanse, a wide grin on her face as I see her thinking. Thinking her insane ideas with outrageous desire to try them. As I manifest an avatar in our internal world she turns to me immediately.

“So many more laws to use, more options and possibilities! Your depth with my utility, your power with my conversion. We can create so much here, our world will be magnificent! It will have your beauty and attractiveness!” Oh dear, the cheeky geek has gotten into one of her excited moods. That is why I love this woman, her love is so broad and powerful towards so many topics and subjects.
