Hearing the voice of the awakening hall elder calling for Liu Yang Wu to come for his turn,a surge of memories from his past life came rushing into his mind and he smiled bitterly
He remembered that in this past life he only had a mediocre C grade low class aptitude
In this world the cultivation depended on a person's talent primarily which were classified according to the mortal aperture they get on awakening
D grade:Such type of mortal apertures only had Spiritual Energy amounting to 20% of their whole aperture
C grade :Their Spiritual Energy ranged from 20-49 % of their mortal aperture
B grade:Their Spiritual Energy ranged from 50 to 79% of their aperture
While A grade was the absolute talent which was ranging from 80-95 % which was very rare
Why not 96%- 100% you ask? Indeed there were people with 96%-100 % talent but they never appeared even in thousand years only in hundred thousands years,such people were known to be chosen by fate and heavenly Dao to be key figures in history which were entrusted such responsibilities later on in their life that they could even be called the pillars of the world which stabilised it ,all of them had left their mark in history, out of all such people's in history it was recorded that all of them had become immortals and what happened to them later on was only known to the immortal realm,there was not a single case where it didn't happen ,and if such a person was born in a clan that clan was destined to become an overlord during that era.Such a person was even given the protection of fate and heavenly Dao,everyone in the world recognised such individuals in the world as the future leaders of the world. As for if such a person arrived and people trying to recruit them?It can be easily guessed by everyone that how much people would value them and try to get them on their side without me even explaining and worth explaining is this after 95% only such supreme talents were there which directly had 100% ,there was no 96%-99% in between
Due to being such a blessed talent they were classified as Supreme talents which had 7 variations suitable for different paths of cultivation
They were :
Heavenly Qi supreme talent (suitable for qi path and it's branchez
Resplendant Soul Supreme talent (suitable for soul path and it's branches)
Azure Sky supreme talent(suitable for the cultivation of the path of any of five elements especially sky and it's varitations)
Jade Wind supreme talent (suitable for the cultivation of the path of any of five elements especially wind and it's varitations)
Sapphire Water(suitable for the cultivation of the path of any of five elements especially water and it's varitations)
Verdant Fire supreme talent (suitable for the cultivation of the path of any five elements especially fire path)
And lastly Great Earth supreme talent (suitable for the cultivation of the path of any of five elements especially earth and it's varitations)
As for why A grade 95% was very inferior to 100% talents despite not being much of a difference is because till 95% the spiritual energy difference was an additive difference but after 95 the difference was exponential !!
People having spiritual energy until 95 had Spiritual Energy which also had some impurities and unrefined ,but people above 95 had absolute pure spiritual energy which was completely refined and could flow smoothly.
The spiritual benergy from 0-95% was used normally but after 95% those energy from 96-100% was so pure that each 1 percent of it could be converted into full 100 percent of the standard unrefined impure spiritual energy that normal cultivators had ,it was known that this gave them advantages in immortal realm too,as for what it was ,it was not publicly known,only to those who were related to such people or immortals of the heaven realm(immortal realm)
Infact all overlord clans and sects of today has had atleast one supreme talents in its entire clan or sect history.
Spiritual Energy..it's the fundamental energy for cultivation in the world required for almost everything, cultivating,using techniques,skills ,special weapons ,and formations and much much more
The cultivators also advanced to different realms by cultivating which required a lot of essence , if a person had such supreme talent they basically had multiple times of spiritual energy then normal cultivators hence making breakthrough for them much more easy
The realms of cultivators were also divided into different based on their spiritual energy quality which underwent a qualitative change after every major realm breakthrough and quantitative change after every minor realm breakthrough
As for Mortal Realms ,There were the 5 major relams which had 4 minor realms (Initial,Middle,Upper,Peak) each , after those were immortal realms,those immortal realms were only known to clans and sects which had atleast one immortal and to the immortal,but Liu Yang Wu knew,this clan whom he was born into was only a mortal clan,but he had met many immortals in his last life and even killed some even though the difference between mortal and immortal was day and night,heaven and earth apart due to his hardwork and planning,he ,himself had tried to become an immortal but the world had already plunged to chaos by the heavenly emperor not giving him enough time to go into seclusion to attempt it ,as he had to fight everywhere and protect those whom he still cared about at that time.
Liu Yang Wu quickly remembered his previous life's memories of his time in his clan called Yang clan as he smiled bitterly
In his previous life he was awakened as a C grade 47 % talent,he was the son of the elder who had influence and power second to only the clan leader known as Elder Wu ,he had shown literature talents and sharp minds such small hence his parents and others had big expectations of him and thought he would be A grade talent,his father handed him some of their faction's source of incomes and responsibilities to nurture his skills and gave him a good position in the faction which made his brothers and sisters jealous and envious of him for many years causing them to wait for a chance to plot against him
The moment he was declared as C grade talents they spent no time in snatching his position and resources for themselves ,his father also only cared for his siblings which had better talent then him and stopped paying attention to him and caring for him,later Liu even found out that he secretly ordered other faction and family members to not pay attention to him and only maintain a superficial show of showing concern
His friends and family broken connections and abandoned him ,only staying as friends and family in name
His childhood friend and love Ling Xuer was encouraged and convinced by her friends and others was also forced to leave him despite not wanting too,later he found out this was orchestrated by his brother who took his position after competing with other siblings eventually winning and payed some money and resources to Long Xuer's friend in reward of completing this task because he wanted her for himself
Despite this he worked a lot in his last life and managed to breakthrough to Second Mortal Realm Upper stage and was trying to fight against his siblings for his resources until they decided to remove him completely from his way and his father indifferent as usual to him didn't stop them and he was exiled from the clan ,yet he didn't give and reached Fifth Mortal Realm Peak stage in his life and could fight with lower ranked immortals and kill them with his capabilities ,he was even going to charge through immortal accension and become an immortal despite his mortal clan having none in its thousands of years of existence and having many people with higher talents then him until the tragedy with the heavenly emperor happened
Of course with his meager talent it took a lot of years to reach the Fifth Mortal Realm but in this world there were many ways to increase one's lifespan , however many of them were unorthodox methods, but there were orthodox methods as well 2 major of them was ,once a person makes breakthrough to major realm their lifespan would gain an addition but due to Liu Yang Wu's talent ,that amount was not enough for him,thus he used the second orthodox method that was to find Life Increasing Dao Marks and inscribe them in his body,in this world Dao marks were a source of cultivation for a person,they were of all path each path having different effects and were distributed in the whole world,they were very important and were ussed in everything , cultivation,techniques,others,of course all of this was only known to immortals and the mortals related to them, the mortals only knew that the heavenly dao had given the ability to cultivate as for how,most of them didn't know ,the more dao marks a person had of their path the more powerful they were ,these Dao Marks to use were either inscribed on a person himself on other substances ,every technique,weapon and others had Dao marks on them ,everything was basically an amalgamation of Dao marks which followed the rules of the heavenly Dao
In his past life to gain these Life Increasing Dao Marks were not easy ,otherwise wouldn't everyone just get it as much as they wanted?infact it was easier for mortals to get it then immortlas,there were many places in this world which had high density of pure spiritual energy and traces of heavenly dao's own aura,in such places people had to pray to the dao and conduct rituals in which the dao would bestow a tribulation upon of the diffculty them based on their request in the ritual and their capabilities,if they succeed the tribulation then the they would get whatever type of dao marks in the quantity propertional to the diffculty
However these tribulations weren't only based on their power as it would make it easier for cultivators to get whatever they wanted ,they would just have to request the different dao marks they wanted in the quantity suited to a realm below them thus these tests were based on differrent things and of different types ,this was also the reason it was easy for mortlas to complete life increasing tribulations then immortals because it was mainly for them as immortals already had a lot of life span from their accension,gaining more would disrupt the balance
In his previous life when he underwent tribulation to gain life expansion mark he asked for a hundred years and underwent a tribulation which tested his mental fortitude after he succeeded the dao actually have him 200 years of lifespan,together with the lifespan gained from breaking through realms he reached the mortal 5th realm in 350 years and still had about 270 years of life span left,because after breaking through to Fifth Mortal Realm a person gains 300 hundred years life extension as its very hard to breakthrough to immortal realm and this realm gives enough lifespan for people to try a few times... however Liu Yang waa only able to try one time and failed while somehow surviving but before he could try once again the tragedy of heavenly emperor happened
Coming back to present ,remembering all this only took him a few seconds in real life,the awakening elder called for him again and went forward,seeing the expectant gazes of the thousands of people of the clan around him
