Heavenly Harem Sect

'Hmm...is this the right direction? I left the sect hours ago in the morning, but I still can't find the exact location of the Tristan Household' Daniel thought as he was wandering around the forest.

Well logically, he could have torn the void and space and reached his destination without any sweat.

'But where's the fun of that? It should be known that while journeying, there would be encounters with cocky young masters or heroines who are in damsels' He thought.

A few hours ago, he had reached the City of Cetra which was huge, bigger, and more prosperous than the city he had visited previously.

Upon showing his token identity, he was allowed to pass through, and the first place he visited was the Mercenary Guild, a place where he could exchange information and also, a place where independent cultivators could earn some money.

To his surprise, it was easy to get the information about where the Tristan Household family stayed by paying hundreds of White Spiritual Stones.

It wasn't an expensive piece of information since it was known to the public, and it's harmless information. Nevertheless, it was important for Daniel as he made his way to the location.

'I never thought that there would be a forest inside of a city and a huge one on top of that' He expresses his opinion of the forest and the city, and as he walked further down the route, he encountered a group of beasts.

"Oh? Just in time for me to stretch my muscles and test how much I could input" Daniel smiled as he wanted to see what he could do with his cultivation alone.

'First, let's limit my cultivation realm to the Origin Rank' He limited his cultivation prowess as he wanted to discover the limit of how much each rank could do.

It has been stated that an Origin Rank could overwhelm the opponent with Soul, and the cultivator could strengthen his soul with Spiritual Qi.

To test it out, Daniel strengthened his soul and used it as a medium to suppress the beasts in front of him that were known as Red Wrath.

Red Wrath was a beast that was known for its defense and scales. They were similar to bulls, except they were bigger with a pair of red horns on their heads.

Yet, the moment Daniel suppressed the beasts with his soul, all of the Red Bulls fainted as their souls were damaged due to his suppression.

'It's similar to Intent...yet a different concept' He concluded as he studied more about the usage of soul and after minutes of studying, he understood the concept of Origin.

'I see, so that's the reason why it was named Origin since Origin is where our roots are, and in this term, Our soul is our root, and the stronger it is, the more powerful a cultivator can be and suppressing the soul is one of the easiest methods to overwhelm a cultivator, but a difficult method of mastering'

It was complicated to understand, but it was not a problem if Daniel could master it.

Nevertheless, fighting over the suppression of souls could lead to permanent damage to the mind and also the depletion of cultivation rank.

Hence, if a cultivator wishes to fight over the suppression of the soul, he or she will need to be careful not to overexert it or use it against a high-ranking cultivator.

However, no matter how much he suppressed his cultivation rank to the Origin Level, his Soul Origin is at the half-Immortal, thus, all of the 10 Red Wrath had died.

'Well, if I had used my intent, perhaps I could control them to the extent they won't die, but using my soul as a medium to suppress would result in an immediate death'

He nodded his head in understanding while digging his hands inside the beast's body, trying to find the core.

'I don't know how much is 1k, but I should check how to use the function later on' Daniel thought as he wondered about the route.

As he encountered yet another group of monsters that were known as Ogres, a monster that has high regenerative bloodline ability, he lifted his cultivation suppression to the Daybreaker Realm.

'Now, let's try it out' He smiled before he manipulated his qi around him that gave him the privilege to soar through the sky.

Now, what sets the difference between the first four realms and the realms beyond Origin is Power and Authority.

Everything that a cultivator learned and obtained is from the law, and the first step in learning about the law is in the Daybreaker Realm where Heaven's Laws permit the cultivators living in the mortal world to fly.

It was a realm that began to separate between the strong and Authority.

'Technically, authority itself is not strong as there are higher levels and mastery, but let's discuss in the future' Daniel thought.

'This is fun and I never thought to achieve this' Daniel had a big smile as he was having the best time of his life flying through the sky where he even went as high as the clouds.

And seconds later, after having fun, he killed all of the Ogres by suppressing their souls and he absorbed all 50 of their cores as he obtained 5,000 EEP.

He continued his journey, and at some point, he doesn't know how in the world he was facing a horde of beasts where their numbers were at 100, and their cultivation realm was not lower than the First Stage of the Foundation Rank.

'What's this? All of them looked like a horse except they are called Dark Horn Horses with a dark element bloodline ability' He explained.

Since Daniel didn't want to prolong his journey anymore, he lifted his cultivation to the Transcendence Rank where Authority places a huge part.

A Transcendence Rank is the start and beginning of where Laws and Authority will come in handy, and in this case, once a cultivator reaches the Transcendence Rank, he or she could overwhelm any person weaker than him.

With a word of theirs, they can explode the tenth stage Daybreaker into blood or mist. While it consumes Spiritual Qi, the ability still applies even if Daniel had reached the Half-Immortal Rank.

Meaning to say, if he had the Spiritual Qi and Spiritual awareness around the whole world, he could end all population.

That just shows how strong authority can be and it's still one of the weakest forms, and without hesitating, he uses the Authority to end the lives of all of the horses.

"Die" was just a word, however, one by one all of the Dark Horn Horses changed into the blood of mist as they left behind their core.

It was such a magnifying and glorious sight when 100 Beasts died without knowing how or why, and it was because of 1 word alone.

'This is a convenient ability' He thought while absorbing all of the cores.
