Chapter 7 Nascent Soul Realm & Gift (Edited)

The golden sky lasted for about five minutes and eventually everything returned to what it should be, the sky was blue again and all the people started doing their usual tasks, Isaac quickly returned to his bedroom with a jealous expression on his face.

Inside Lilia's room Aster finished his ceremony and then he turned around, when he saw his beautiful mother crying, he rushed to her side and asked with a worried tone. 𝑓𝗿𝐞𝘦𝘄e𝘣n𝘰𝘷eƖ.c𝘰𝗺

"Mother why are you crying? I told you I will be fine", he felt as if his heart was breaking while looking at his mother teary eyes.

Lilia wiped her tears and hugged him, once she regained her composure she explained.

"I'm crying because I am happy, I knew the heavens would not let my son down, you might have not noticed yet but I know by only looking, you have reached the nascent soul realm".

Aster was in shock; in his hurry he forgot to check his own body to see what realm he has reached.

"Mother but why? you told me I would at most reach the spiritual sea realm and that was only due to elixir you gave me?".

Lilia's gaze was full with love and pride.

"The reason of this my son, is that sky phenomenon the heavens have bestowed upon you, you were blessed by them, some people get it when they awake, other people get it when they reach a certain realm, some will only get it after doing a lot of good deeds like the holy maiden from the palace of light and there are others who won't ever be blessed by the heavens in their lives".

"Although receving a blessing doesn't make you a genius, it is still a big achievement as it is not something common to see, it's a sign of a good future cultivation path".

Aster smiled listening to his mother's explanation but he knew that it was not a blessing from the heavens but something even better, when the sky turned golden, inside of his mind a giant sword radiating golden light as if it was the sun on midday suddenly appeared, even now if he focused he could see it floating there, looking dignified as it stood still like nothing could make it move if it didn't want to.

Even if he only reached the nascent soul realm, he felt that his energy quality was better compared to what he saw on the royal guards of the Wolfstein family, if he were to guess he thinks it would be at the same level of his sister's which was considered a genius on the earth origin realm.

Aster came out of his daze when his mother handed him a large gift box while smiling.

"I prepared this gift a long time ago, happy birthday darling ?", said Lilia with a warm voice.

Aster opened the gift and what he saw was a double-edged sword, its total length was of 1.5 meter's, it was sheathed on a dark scabbard with a golden locket and chape, on the guard there was a dragon carved in golden metal.

"Its name is Dragon fang, treat it well as it will be your most reliable partner on any battle you will face on the future".

Aster was fascinated with the sword it felt somehow familiar when he touched it, like when you meet a family member for the first time in your life, while Aster didn't understand why he felt like that Lilia saw his expression and she covered her lips with a hand and laughed a bit in a low tone.

"I wonder what his expression would be when he meets her", she thought.

"I like it thank you mother, but I still need a lot of practice before I can use this sword properly so I would keep it in my spatial ring for the time being unless there is an emergency", Aster was not easy to trick he felt that the sword he was holding was terribly powerful... the only reason as to why it was not affecting the surrounding space of the planet was because of the scabbard.

Lilia nodded.

"Wise decision, but still you don't have to worry as this sword will never hurt you or those who are dear to you, its sole reason to exist is to protect you", said Lilia with a slight smile on her face.

At this moment Aster was not aware of what was the meaning of his mother's words but he still nodded with his head.

Aster thought that it was a good time to initiate the second step of his plan to get closer with his mother so he took a deep breath and with a hoped expression asked.

"Now that I'm a cultivator will you be my instructor Mom?".

When Alice heard the word "instructor" she looked a bit sick as she gave Aster a look as if she felt sorry for him, even now she still had nightmares remembering how her mother trained her back then when she still did not have any experience as a cultivator.

Lilia was over the moon when she heard her beloved son ask her to be his instructor, even if an instructor was not the same as a teacher from an academy or a master in a sect, it was a special role only reserved for those who were the most trustworthy people for the family of the recently awaken cultivators, its duty was to teach the fundamentals of cultivation to children, of course as a cultivator you would never stop learning but an instructor's role was to introduce the child to the world of cultivation, teach him manners, the basic ethic that a cultivator should have, the different types of cultivators etc.

She didn't hesitate for a second and answered in a hurry as if she was worried that her son would cancel his offer.

"Of course darling, if you have not asked, your mother would have offered herself to be the first one to teach you about cultivation".

Aster had a weird premonition when he saw his mother's smile.

"Ughh did I screw myself again? he thought".
