Five years later.
In a forest-like environment with trees of all heights from a couple of feet to miles tall, with solid blue-colored grass all around.
One can see many children running around chasing one another.
Some are hiding,
Some are climbing trees,
Some are even sleeping.
Near one of the tallest trees,
A young boy can be seen laying down on his back, reading a scroll.
The young boy has a full head of white and black hair, it seems like there exists the same amount of each color, and his black eye and black eyes are looking seriously at the scroll.
'It's already been five years'
Cyrus put the scroll down, as he reminisces.
Before any kids cultivate in the Magnus family, they spend the first five years casually learning about the world, excluding any cultivation knowledge, and playing with other children, with occasional medicinal baths to strengthen their bodies. This is mostly done so that children can have some level of happiness and calm childhood before they begin their hazardous cultivation journey.
*sigh*
'I really want to start cultivating, but why do I have to waste all this time'
Cyrus did not see the point of wasting time,
As a kid, he knows nothing about the difficulties one faces while cultivating.
Although it is relaxing to play around with no worries, Cyrus still remembers what almost happened to him the second he was born.
As he put the scroll away, one of his friends came up to him'
"CYRUS, come play with us"
"Let's have fun big brother Cyrus"
A young boy with light brown skin, red hair, and eyes yelled, as a shy girl with white skin, purple hair, and purple eyes stands next to him. People in this universe are born with randomly colored skin, hair, and eye colors, and sometimes these colors are influenced by some special power within them.
However, these can change with the increase of cultivation or by cultivating some special cultivation methods.
Looking at the young boy calling him, Cyrus smirks, as he responds.
"Michael you know you can't hide from me and you can't beat me in fight, what type of game you wanna play"
'Not to mention, Sofia cries the second she feels pain'
Before Michael could respond, Cyrus continued.
"Never mind, since this is the last day we can play like this let us have our fun"
A couple of seconds later, a bunch of kids a running in random directions, as Michael counts
"1"
"2"
"…"
"10"
"Here I come"
Michael runs looking for other children.
Two elders floated in the void above the forest.
Looking down, one can see that the forest is just a big park in a giant city.
"Looks like today's the last day for us to watch the young masters and mistresses play," one of the elders says with a sad tone.
"Yes, they always remind me of our young selves horsing around"
Says the other elder as they reminisce about their younger days.
Next day.
In a large area located in the center of the city, the core members of the family children's training ground, inside the buildings 200-230 kids about five years old are sitting down, talking, and laughing; some are eating the snakes their parents gave them, and some are yelling across the room.
Minutes later, a man appeared in front of the classroom.
"Silent," he says in a stern voice.
Everyone quickly quieted and sit correctly.
Some children even peed themselves.
Cyrus watches curiously in a crowd.
"My name is Elder Jonas, when I'm talking keep your mouth shut, if you got a question, you raise your hand until I call you"
"Today is your first day learning about the cultivation world, before we go into cultivation realms and such, you should understand the basics of the universe first"
"We're Located in the Magnus Universe, from such inference, you can tell there exist other universes outside our own.
The giant star you see every day is known as the Primal star, within it exists the core of the universe that absorbs energy from outside the universe, and converts it into energy that nourishes the universe and everything within it; we call it cosmic qi.
Within any universe, there exists a maximum of 1.269 trillion galaxies. For a group of galaxies to exist, it has to be a minimum of 50,000 light-years across and has a central star that absorbs energy from the outside of the galaxy and spreads it across; hence, cosmic qi is always the densest near a star, especially a central star.
To better control the universe and power, our Magnus family divided the universe into five Sectors, the Central, Southern, Western, Northern, and Eastern Sectors. Each Sector has 2,000 cluster domains, each of which has 20,000 to 50,000 galactic clusters, and each galactic cluster has more or less 300,000 galaxies.
The planet we're on Primal-1, exists in the center of the Primeval galaxy, with 8 other planets close to us, primal 2-9, and our system is called the 9 Primal system."
"Yes, young David"
Elder Jonas, ask one of the kids who had the hands up
"Why is it called the 9 Primal system"
"Because those are one, the Nine planets closest to the center of the universe and two because they are the first 9 planets"
"Yes Michael"
"When can I fly?"
"Hahahahahaha"
The whole class laugh as they see the angry and annoyed look on Elder Jonas's face.
"When I talk about the cultivation realms you'll know"
"Next, let me give you the basics of Primal one before we start going into cultivation realms,
Primal one is the home of our Magnus family, along with other forces.
Within primal one there exists the home bases of the universe 9 Divine forces,
Our Magnus family is in charge of course, and the Five Elements Palace, the Sub-professional alliance, the Demon Beasts Alliance, the shadow blood sect, the Heavenly sword sect, the Boundless Knowledge Academy, the Zafar clan, and the hidden death pavilion.
Our Magnus controls the largest continent and some of the surrounding continents, with the rest of the continents managed by the other powers.
The Strongest Divine force out of the eight is the Demon Beast alliance, but they won't dare do anything because most of the other powers are made of humans.
Our Magnus family controls each sector, but other powers also have bases and branches in the different sectors.
Now who can tell me what they think cultivation is?"
