Path of Absolute Transcendence

Chapter 23: 23. Past



After a few days at the school, an incident happened.

"Hey, do you think we will care about your family situation? Give the money, or we will beat you up and take it ourselves." Said some group of boys to Kai.

He did not plead or argue with them and left after handing over the money. The same thing happened all the time in his school days, and he was not able to tell his mother since she already had a lot of problems and he did not want to increase the burden.

The bullies started getting annoyed with his attitude and even started to beat him.

"I should control my emotions," he thought.

It is not like he wanted to get bullied; he was able to fight them even though he was not able to beat them all.

He is not afraid of them, but instead, he is afraid of himself. He did not even care about their lives; he was afraid of killing them because of this small matter.

"Today I am very annoyed because of the math teacher, so I am going to beat you up very hard today." Said the bullies.

Then they started beating him. Kai endured all the pain without any emotion on his face, but he suddenly started at the bully\'s face with a calm look, but under that look lies absolute madness.

The bullies were scared of his looks and left after he said some useless words. They did not even come to collect the money afterward.

"It seems I need to better control my emotions; if I do not do that, there will be serious consequences." At the time of getting beaten by the bullies, I had the intent to kill them. I would be in trouble if I did not control my emotions at the time.

The school days became peaceful after that, and the bullies also did not have the guts to ask for money from then on.

His mother also died a few years later; he just stood there emotionless, without any sadness or grievance.

He just continued to move on without the events bothering him. Even during his death, he did not feel any emotion other than helplessness.

"So, it was just a dream."

"Do I love my parents? or is it just a facade?"

Kai thought after the dream about his past.

He was always an emotionless person in his previous life, but why did he change his personality in this life suddenly?

The answer may be the illusion trial. He did not accept his hidden personality in his previous life, but here in this life, he chose to accept it.

He has a selfish personality and a lot of greed, but he doesn\'t say anything about that to anyone since being an upright person is considered a good thing on Earth.

In the Enlightenment World, there is no such restriction; he can do anything he desires without thinking about anything. People here only worship the strong, not good or bad people. The freedom that this world gave him made changes in his thinking and also broke the restrictions on his character.

\'I don\'t want to experience the same powerlessness, and I will make my fate.\'

While Kai was in deep thought, Alex suddenly spoke.

"Kai, get ready. We will go to the sect today, and you can join directly without any test."

"Okay, Dad," Kai replied.

The test that Alex mentioned is similar to an entrance exam; only people with minimum standards get accepted, and all other people get rejected.

Since Alex is working in the sect, Kai is eligible to join the inner sect without any tests. It is a privilege that is given by the sect master.

Then Kai got ready and entered the carriage with his parents. Riya also decided to go with them since they would not be here for a long time.

After a week of travel, Kai and his parents reached their destination. The Slaughter Palace did not change much, except for the holy son. He is the only son of the sect master, so it is normal for him to be the holy son.

His talent is also the best in the history of Slaughter Palace, an 8-star cultivation talent. It is already comparable to the emperor-tier family and sects.

But the cultivation talent only determines the speed of cultivation, so we cannot judge the person by their cultivation talent.

Nothing major happened in their journey, and they reached the room where Kai would live for a long time.

"Kai, from now on, you will stay here. Me and your mother won\'t be able to visit you often, so take care of your health and take this." Alex said as he handed Kai a ring.

"Dad, is it the storage ring you promised me?" Kai asked in surprise. He thought that Alex had forgotten to gift him.

"Yeah, it is a 6×9 storage space and also has some contribution points that I saved up."

"Thank you, Dad; I love this gift." Kai accepted the gift since he needed it very much. After that, both Riya and Alex left for their work. Kai decided to check his room and make it comfortable.

The room is good for a single person; it is clean and has all the facilities. Kai is the only one going to live in this room because of his status as an inner-sect disciple.

Every inner-sect disciple has a single room allocated to them. He also has a total of 10,000 contribution points in the storage ring. It was in the form of a token with the number of points written on it.

"For now, I need to focus on the Will path and break through to the next realm."

Kai already had the idea for the next realm, and his plan here also involves using the Will path.

Kai wanted to cultivate both the body and soul paths, but those techniques are family inheritance and won\'t be passed down to outsiders.

He needs to steal them from the scripture pavilion, and the Will path is a good choice. Even Alex did not notice the difference between willpower and soul power, so he had to use this loophole to steal without any saint realm powerhouse noticing him.

A saint realm cultivator has their domain, so they will be able to sense the difference. Kai needs to steal them at the right moment and also has to obtain a lot of hidden knowledge from them.

"Stealing directly is a bad option, but I can manifest my will on a living being and use them as a communication link to obtain the information." Kai thought about this idea.

Manifesting will on a person is also not an option since his will is not strong enough and it is also dangerous, but Kai can use small insects like ants and bugs. It is also a safer method, and in case of failure, he can directly cut off the link between him and the insect.

The heavenly dao is still hiding his information about his foundation and will path from others, even though it did strike him for breaking the rules.

The Heavenly Dao is impartial and knows how to differentiate between good and evil. It punishes a person for evil things and rewards them for good things. But both good and bad things are considered from the perspective of the world.

So it is different for others, as everyone has their own opinion on good and evil.

"You will be my first test subject," Kai said, and he captured an ant. Then he tried manifesting his will on it, but the ant just exploded.

\'It seems I need to properly control my willpower.\' Kai thought. He knew the ant died because of his poor control over his willpower.

Then, instead of using ants as a test subject, Kai started practicing his control over willpower and concealment. Both of them are core to his plan, so he needs to train them carefully.

After just two weeks of training, Kai can already control his willpower better than Qi and can also easily conceal it.

\'It seems my learning talent played a huge part in it.\' Kai thought happily. He practiced for more than a year to control his Qi at a fine level, but now he achieved the same result in just two weeks.

For now, Kai cannot use his talent to its full potential since they are both growth-type talents.

After learning the control, Kai again found an ant and used his will manifestation on it. This time the ant did not explode, and it just stood there like a puppet.

"Circle the stone." Kai gave an order using willpower. Then the ant started to circle the stone according to his will.

\'It seems the first part of the plan is a success; the next part is to monitor using Will.\' thought Kai. It would be the most difficult part of this process, and for that, he needed to break it through to the next realm on his path.

Kai already had the idea for a communication link, but his willpower is not strong enough, so he needs to break through.

During the two weeks of practicing control over willpower, he used his parallel thinking talent to deduce the next realm on the will path.

The will path will not have any minor path like the Qi path; it will only have the corresponding major realm, and every major realm will have its ability, like how the manifestation realm can manifest will on anything.

This is what makes the Will path the most powerful path and even heaven had to hide the information about this path from others.

It will guarantee Kai\'s safety by hiding the information about the will path, but it is not free as he needs to repay the karma in the future.
