Chapter 15 – Open Book
"That all-seeing big brother said I'll discover some kind of patterns when I get back to the first level of energy cultivation, I'm so excited to get back as soon as possible. I'm afraid we're going to part ways here." Robin said narrowing his eyes.
"What? We are parting… What do you mean by this?" Caesar was startled to hear those words as if they were the harshest curse in existence
"Take your share of the stones and go upstairs, you idiot! Don't show me your face before you breakthrough to the first level" Robin approached and kicked Caesar in the butt, who froze in place for a bit, then laughed and took half the stones before running upstairs.
Thus, their training began.
Although both of them had a huge experience in cultivation methods and shortcuts, they did not even try to train on the way from the cave to here. Training energy and strengthening the foundations requires high concentration and a clear mind for meditation. Finally, they reached a safe environment full of training resources, No need to hold themselves back!
A week passed… two… Level one is laying the first foundation on which to build the rest and it normally takes a few months or even years, but suddenly a loud voice echoes from the loft, "Hahaha, I'm officially a cultivator again, I did it before you!" Caesar was very proud of himself, – although he naturally progressed faster since he had reached level 14 before and had the same training technique that Robin had modified – he still felt proud that he was able to get ahead of his father in something.
Caesar jumped from the second floor and came down to continue his bragging, but what he saw made him mute… he found Robin in a meditative position in his room with his eyes turned bright green, the space around him seemed a bit illusory…
"Wh-.. what's going on here? Did he breakthrough to the first level already? No… even breaking through to level 20 shouldn't cause such a scene!" Caesar said while taking a step back, but quickly regained his balance and sat in front of the door waiting for any reaction from his father.
It's been two days.. two weeks.. three weeks… Caesar is starting to get very worried, this is not supposed to happen, it was just a simple break through the first level that even children could do!
After two more days.. the glowing in Robin's eyes finally stopped. Then he smiled and stood up, "patterns, hah?.. hahaha patterns… patterns.." Robin said as he looked around with intense curiosity, he was in an ecstasy state!!
Whenever he looks around him, he sees certain patterns in everything, they look like drawings in certain things or as a way of moving in a second, arranging some factors in another, and so on~ But definitely, everything has a pattern that distinguishes it from the rest.
The mirror in front of him, for example, shows patterns in the form of drawings over his reflected image, the bed boards have patterns as if they were carved inside the wood, even in the wind he saw patterns in the way it moves
After looking around and examining everything for a while, he seemed to realize something and then called out, "Caesar, come here!" Caesar, who was sitting next to the door, jumped up and stood in front of Robin, who immediately began to examine him. and as he expected.. There are already patterns on Caesar's skin, then he cuts Caesar's finger and meditates on the blood, and he also found patterns on it!
The whole world has changed in his eyes.. everything has its own patterns, although he did not understand what this is and what it is doing, he realized that the reason he could see is definitely the law of truth! But he has not laid his pillars with the law yet.. So what will happen when he does?
Robin was in a very good mood today. He said with a laugh, "I'm hungry! I guess we're in the second month, right? Let's collect our money and go eat something decent."
——–
The two of them easily cashes out their allowance from the treasury, but this time they took it as coins. The first level of energy foundation didn't consume many energy stones and they still had a lot left.
Their walk around the institution did not go unnoticed this time either. Those who thought they were mysterious before, it is now clear that they are only at the first level, and compared to their age, they were trash!
The two were not spared from the indirect teasing and laughter from afar, but the two had enough experience to remain calm, Robin said with a smile, "Hey, I don't remember you ate a meal in a fancy restaurant before, How about the first time today?"
The two of them left the institution and asked around for the biggest restaurant in the area, it looked like a normal picnic, but Caesar noticed his father looking around him with a big smile on his face like a child seeing the world for the first time, he didn't know that… It's actually the first time he saw the real world.
Even inside the restaurant, Robin caught the eyes of those near them when he laughed loudly as he grabbed a piece of mountain rhinoceros meat and examined it as a masterpiece, "Oh…big brother, what are you doing?" Caesar did not care what was happening around them, but what Robin's doing was really weird.
"What do you think I'm doing? Just casually breaking down a few laws hahaha" the answer shocked Caesar. when he was about to say something, Robin stood up, throw a couple of golden coins on the table and start walking out
Caesar quickly caught up with Robin and asks puzzledly, "breaking down laws? What was that..?!"
"Since I entered the first level and was able to use the laws that I studied earlier, I started seeing patterns on everything! and from what I noticed till now… I think those patterns are the laws that run the world," Robin said confidently.
"You… you see the laws with your own eyes?!" Caesar was startled hearing this
"exactly." Robin smiled, "Now let's buy some firewood! I'm going to have a long took with the major law of fire hahaha!"
Caesar did not know what to say.. Seeing the laws?! One of the most difficult tasks of producing a technique to control a law is to first identify and confirm the existence of this law, then get a feel for a few truths about what the law does and the key factors to control it, and then develop a technique to take advantage of all of that.
but Robin says now.. he simply erased the first hurdle! And as for the second and third… What is difficult about it when the law is in front of it like an open book waiting to be read?
When his thinking got this far, Caesar stopped in the middle of the road, forcing Robin to turn back to pull him by his ears.
