In the world of magical land

  Story Preview :

  Where magic, techniques, and martial arts have been passed down since the dawn of time. As the world is based on elements, all beings worship elemental gods as the true deities, such as those of water, fire, earth, air, thunder, space, and time. Every being, including humans, beasts, and demons, will cultivate (to comprehend the laws) in order to attain power and recognition. Initially, the world was known as the Magical Land, which was divided into seven domains: Water Domain, Fire Domain, Earth Domain, Air Domain, Thunder Domain, and finally, Space and Time Domain. Over time, the world evolved, much like the potential within beings to grasp the laws, alongside the growing desires, selfishness, and countless other factors. Currently, only five domains remain unchanged: water, air, fire, and earth, with their lands forming a stable foundation. The laws of thunder and space and time have become rare, with fewer individuals able to understand them, as these domains have turned into perilous regions within the cultivation world. The primary reason thunder is hard to grasp is that its balance can result in fire, lightning, and shocks leading to the destruction of its domain, while space and time domains are prone to phenomena like void cracks. Thus, in the cultivation world, only fellow cultivators who comprehend the laws of these two elements remain.

  Story Begins :

  It was an era for the emerging generation to determine their paths of cultivation. Thus, every child must visit their awakening hall to discover their cultivation path, where the spiritual roots will be identified by the elements. If anyone fails to undergo the ritual before turning six years old, their body may become weak, worthless, or deranged, and they might even become a lifeless shell. The reason for this is that every being is born with spiritual roots, which vary in quality, talent, or potential. Therefore, even an average individual must complete the ritual; otherwise, their spiritual roots become too powerful within the body, leading to the aforementioned consequences. If someone is not interested in cultivating, they must either remove or seal their roots before they grow too powerful, as this can harm both the individual and, ultimately, the world if the roots become excessively strong. Nobles from significant backgrounds often choose to seal their roots, as sealing requires much more magical power, which only high-level cultivators possess. In contrast, those from ordinary backgrounds must remove their roots by immersing themselves in the rootless spring. If a person submerges themselves in the water, it will draw out their spiritual roots without harm. but they become completely normal beign.

  All 5 Domains are currently experiencing a period of spiritual awakening, and with just 5 days remaining, everyone is filled with excitement.

  Witherfield Village :

  In Vale family;

  Elara Vale said, "Husband, let's eat; you seem deep in thought."

  Eldon Vale responded, "It's nothing, dear. Our son is nearly 6 years old, and I’m uncertain about what to do. We lack the background and resources to support his cultivation, so…so…”

  Elara Vale remarked, "So you want our son to sever his spiritual roots? But I don’t want him to feel inferior to other children his age."

  Eldon Vale , "Even though I don't want that either, we can't afford the elixirs and weapons for him. But if we do remove his roots, will he resent us when he matures?"

  "What you said is true, but I still don’t want our child to be... Anyway, it’s up to you, my dear."

  Eldon Vale , "Hmmm, we’ll see. There’s still time. Now, let’s go to sleep."

  The following morning:

  "Hey! Hey! Elara, did you hear about the ritual awakening happening in our village as well?"

  "What? How is that possible?"

  "The newly appointed chief's son has broken through to the Spirit Foundation realm, and he asked his school to voluntarily come to our village to gain merits. Also, I heard he has a water attribute."

  Elara, "Really? That’s good!"

  "Okay, then I need to get some work done and inform everyone. Bye."

  Elara, "Seems like good news, but I’m unsure if our son has that kind of destiny." (mumbling)

  "My dear little Rowan, what are you doing here? Didn’t I tell you not to touch anything in the kitchen?"

  "Rowan: Mumma, I’m hungry."

  "Oh, your stomach is growling, but did you brush your teeth?"

  "Hmm… yeah Mumma!" (mumbling)

  "Is that so?"

  Rowan, Am I going now?

  This kid! Eldon, what happened? Did you return early? Are you feeling unwell or something?

  No, Elara, the owner said there's no need to come to work until the ritual is finished.

  Elara, How can that be? We are daily laborers; we can't go without work for even a single day, let alone four!

  Don’t worry about it; I’ll handle it. Just save some food for Rowan; we won’t eat.

  Rowan, Daddy, I don’t want food. I can take care of myself.

  Eldon, You little rascal! Did you heard something or what? Your stomach is growling. Now go eat; don’t worry about adult matters.

  Rowan, see dad ! I’m not a little rascal; I’m already 6 years old!

  "Eh, eh!"

  Elara, Ha ha, don’t put up with him...

  rowan mentioned six years, I remember the thing of ritual ceremony. So what are your plans, have you made a decision?

  Eldon, I'm considering taking him to the ritual.

  Elara, Is that so? But what about the resources?

  Eldon, I heard from the chief that whoever awakens their path to cultivation will be taken to Wuan School until they reach the spirit foundation realm; after that, it's up to our child to choose their journey in the future.

  Elara, That's great, Eldon, but I've never heard of this school.

  Eldon, It's a newly established school by the lord of "Sunreach City" meant to cultivate powerful individuals to protect our city from others.

  Elara, Oh, that's wonderful, then I'll share this great news with our son that it's settled.

  Later, Eldon and Elara brought their son to the ritual site in the village. There was a large crowd filled with excited children. Rowan saw this and asked his parents, "Mom and Dad, what kind of power do you think I will receive? I want something cute and powerful!"

  Elara, do you think this is a purchase of a beast or something? Here, you'll receive a law to cultivate.

  Rowan : Law? I don't understand.

  The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

  Eldon, There are many laws in the world, but they are encompassed within elemental laws: fire, water, earth, air, thunder, space, and time.

  Rowan : Oh Dad, which one is the most powerful?

  Eldon, Each law possesses its unique power, so don't underestimate any of them. You'll learn all about these in depth at school, okay?

  Elara : Yes, my son, as you grow, you will understand all these things.

  Okay, Mom and Dad.

  Everyone is entering the ritual hall one by one, and most of them are receiving water and fire elements.

  Now it’s Rowan's turn.

  Elena and Eldon led their son inside as the ceremony began, with the activation of a spiritual wand, which was placed in Rowan's hand as his parents supported him with their hands to ensure his stability and to identify the strongest element from their bloodline.

  After placing it, only a faint light appeared, and it didn't last long, leaving everyone present unable to identify the element. However, their parents exchanged glances but remained silent.

  Later, people began discussing the situation in the hall, and one person requested a higher-level master to come and verify.

  After a while, an elder arrived and started using the spiritual wand tool again, but the outcome was exactly the same as before. After some thought, the elder concluded that he must have a special ability to choose one of the elements himself.

  Everyone present was shocked, exclaiming, "How is this possible?" but they could not provide any explanation for it; thus, no one argued and everyone agreed.

  After some time, they returned home with Rowan.

  Later, One of the present magic officers sold this information to the black market.

  A few days later, during dinner, everyone was discussing joining the school.

  Elara asked, "My little boy, which element do you want to choose?

  I don't know, Mum.

  Eldon : Don't rush. Learn the basic knowledge and you will be able to choose, my dear.

  The following day, they took Rowan to Wuan School for registration, instructing him not to return until graduation.

  Rowan inquired, Why, Mom and Dad? Graduation? How long will that be?

  Elara replied, "My dear, graduation occurs when you turn 15, at which point you'll be able to break through to the Spirit Foundation realm."

  Rowan, But that's so far away! I don't want to go to school; I want to stay with you, Mom.

  Elara :No, dear. If you don’t go, everyone will think you’re timid and useless, and we would feel bad for you.

  Rowan : Okay, then. I’ll come back when I’m strong and can protect you.

  Elara : Ha! Eat well and cultivate. When you return, I’ll make you delicious food, your favorites, and we might have a sister or brother for you.

  Rowan : Aih, I want both a sister and a brother!"

  Eldon : Then you'll need to protect them well once they are born.

  Rowan : Ha, Mom, I promise I'll be strong for all of you.

  Eldon & Elara ; Alright, goodbye, my dear.

  Rowan : Goodbye, Mom and Dad.

  Later, they returned to Witherfield Village.

  At Wuan School:

  Rowan began his cultivation journey at Wuan School.......

  One of the seniors approached Rowan, asking him to accompany him to see the elder, to which Rowan responded, "I don’t know anyone here yet."

  Varun : But he knows you.

  Rowan : Oh, okay, then let’s go, Senior Brother.

  Varun : Just call me Varun.

  Rowan : Alright, Senior.

  Varun : Again.

  Rowan : "Okay, okay."

  Varun then left Rowan outside the elder's room and told him to go in alone before he departed.

  Rowan entered and recognized the elder, remarking, "Are you...?"

  Lucen : Come here, child. My name is Lucen Hallow; call me Lucen Sir.

  Rowan : What, didn’t you recognize me? I’m the one who specified your roots.

  Rowan : "Oh, I remember, Sir."

  Lucen : That’s good. Have you decided which element you want to choose?

  Rowan : No, Sir. Dad said to first learn the basics, then choose the one that suits me.

  Lucen : Yes, that’s wise. Choosing what resonates with your heart is the best path for cultivation.

  So, from tomorrow, classes will begin. Now settle into your dorm and try to connect with others and make some good friends.

  The following day, classes commenced, concentrating on the laws of the elements by examining each element separately and organizing groups according to the element, but Rowan was taken by Lucen Hallowen to learn about the elemental laws since he yet to choose the law.

  Lucen Hallow: Rowan, each law holds its own distinctive power; some complement one another while others do not. However, comprehending these laws depends on how you perceive the power and its application. The better your understanding, the greater your progress will be.

  Rowan asked, Can you share with me the elements and their uses?

  Replied, Ah, Rowan, in our world, the elements are fire, water, air, earth, space, time, and thunder.

  Fire can ignite anything and is the purest form of power. Water can submerge anything, yet it remains transparent. As for air, it has no specific form or visibility but creates significant fluctuations. Without air, neither water nor fire could exist since aquatic beings require air in the form of water, and fire cannot burn without air. Therefore, water, air, and fire serve as the strongest offensive powers, while earth provides the most robust defense."

  Rowan : Oh, I think I'm beginning to understand a bit, but what about the other two elements, sir?

  Lucen : You mean thunder, space, and time?"

  "Yes, sir."

  Lucen : Now, there are only a few cultivators in the world who are incredibly rare for these laws; I will explain more about them later.

  like it, A year passed, and the school granted holidays to all the new students since it was their first year, instructing parents to come and take their children home. Everyone was eagerly waiting for their parents, and one by one, they arrived to pick up their kids, but Rowan's parents hadn't shown up; it was already noon, and he was still standing outside the gate. As Lucen Hallow spotted Rowan waiting there, he approached him.

  Lucen : Rowan, are you still waiting for your parents?

  Rowan : Yes, sir.

  Lucen : Hmm. Alright, then come with me. I'll take you home.

  Rowan : No, sir. What if my parents come and don't see me here?

  Lucen : We're heading in the same direction, so they might see us on the way."

  "Oh, okay, sir. Let's go."

  They started walking toward Witheredfield Village.

  Lucen : Rowan, are you an only child, or do you have siblings?"

  "No, sir. I am the only one, but perhaps I will get a sibling soon."

  Lucen : Oh, what are your parents' names?"

  "Elara and Eldon."

  Lucen : Oh, that sounds familiar. Hm, okay, we are almost at your village."

  Eventually, Rowan brought him to his home, but there was nothing left—only ashes remained, signifying a burnt house.

  Rowan was shocked.

  Lucen asked him, "Did you forget where you live?"

  Rowan didn't respond and stood there like a statue, then he suddenly fainted.and Lucen carried him to the village chief house.

  Lucen inquired about what had happened to Rowan's family and their home, cheif.

  The village chief replied, We don’t know exactly what happened, but one night, a fire suddenly engulfed the house, and we could not extinguish it.

  Lucen : None of the villagers could put out the fire? What does that mean?

  Yes, that's what I'm guessing.

  Lucen : Are you suggesting it was a planned murder?

  Lucen : Yes! There isn't a single thing left; it is definitely murder, and the murderer must have extensive knowledge of fire laws."

  Lucen : Absolutely! I can only think of individuals with authority over the fire domain, but why would they want to kill people from a non-privileged background?

  Lucen : I don’t know either; perhaps they have some hidden motives, but I’ve never seen them argue with anyone in my life.

  Lucen : Hidden motives? Maybe some detached members of a noble family? Chief, do you recall their family name? Perhaps we can guess which noble family it pertains to.

  Chief : Actually, I don’t remember, but it might be Vale or something similar.

  Lucen : The Vale family? That’s impossible. Is this really just a coincidence or something more?

  Only Rowan had to tell, ask him when he woke up .

  Lucen : Okay, I will.

  After some time, Rowan awakens.

  Rowan: Sir, where am I? I dreamed that my home and parents were gone, and I can’t find them anywhere.

  Lucen: This isn’t just a dream; it’s the reality.

  Rowan: No, no, Mom! Dad! (Crying...)

  Lucen: Listen, kid...

  Rowan: Mom! (Repeating) Dad! (Repeating)

  Lucen: It’s okay, cry until you feel better, then meet me at the site of your house, and I’ll explain the truth.

  Rowan: Mom! (Repeating) Dad! (Repeating) (Crying...)

  After a while, Rowan arrives at the location of his house, which has burned down, and he weeps as he recalls all the memories.

  Lucen: You made it! Don’t worry, my child; everything will get better soon. (Holding his shoulder)

  Rowan: Sir, can you tell me the truth now? What happened to my parents?

  Lucen: First, tell me your name.

  Rowan: You already know it.

  Lucen: I mean your full name.

  Rowan: Rowan Vale.

  Lucen: What? What about your parents?

  Rowan: Elara Vale and Eldon Vale.

  Lucen: No, no—are you really from the Vale family? (Mumbling)

  Rowan: What happened, sir? Is there something wrong?

  Lucen: I shouldn’t tell you about it; otherwise, you might go berserk with rage. (Mumbling)

  Suddenly, the weather changes, with lightning and a windstorm brewing.

  Lucen: Rowan, hurry! Get out of here and go to the chief’s place.

  Rowan: what? but why sir !?

  Lucen : (Loudly) I said, go quickly and hide!

  Rowan had never seen Lucen like this before and felt frightened, rushing to the chief’s place with a terrified expression.

  Lucen: I don’t know if there are good or bad intentions. (Mumbling)

  Come out! I know this is a domain created by your magical power. What you are seeking?

  Mysterious person : As a realm of soul ascension, you can perceive my strength and magical abilities. You must possess a profound cultivation foundation and a deep understanding of the laws..

  Lucen : Who are you? What do you want?

  Mysterious person : Don’t worry; I don’t want anything. I just want to test you.

  Lucen : What?

  Mysterious person : I believe you have dual attributes of water and fire. Is that correct? so i want to test you

  Mysterious person : Who are you? How do you know that... wait, only .... are you at the peak of the void realm?
