Day 1 - Settling In
Celestia's belongings materialized in the Cross family guest room through spatial manipulation—Caspian had sent them over within the hour.
The room was cozy. Modest in size but well-furnished, with a comfortable bed, study desk, and large windows overlooking the backyard training area. Celestia sat on the bed, bouncing slightly to test the mattress, grinning.
"This is perfect," she declared.
Lirien stood in the doorway, smiling warmly. "I'm glad you like it. We want you to feel at home here."
"I already do, Aunt Lirien."
"Good! Now, you two have the afternoon free. Training starts tomorrow morning." Lirien's expression turned slightly stern. "But don't overdo it on your first day. Understood?"
"Yes, Aunt Lirien," both children chorused.
She left, closing the door behind her.
Celestia immediately turned to Runar, whispering, "So when do we—"
"Tonight," Runar interrupted quietly. "After everyone's asleep. Around 11 PM. I'll come get you."
"And this special place you mentioned?"
"You'll see. Trust me—you're going to love it."
Her eyes sparkled with anticipation. "I can't wait!"
Afternoon - Runar's Room
While Celestia unpacked and "rested," Runar retreated to his own room with a specific project in mind.
I've been thinking about this for a while, he thought, settling into meditation. My parents are stuck at Satellite Orbit realm. Caspian is Star Fusion, Seraphina is Satellite Orbit realm. All of them are using standard techniques—good techniques, but not optimized for their specific physiques and cultivation paths.
AN: I know they were at meteor forging stage, but I am changing it.
I can fix that.
"I need to create custom cultivation techniques. Four total—one for each parent. Peak Supreme Grade minimum."
[SYSTEM NOTIFICATION]
Note: Creating multiple Supreme Grade techniques will trigger achievement rewards.
Runar smiled. Of course it will.
He entered his Comprehension Space, where time moved differently. What would be hours of work inside would be mere minutes outside.
Technique 1: For Jake Cross
Runar analyzed his father's cultivation foundation thoroughly:
Current Realm: Satellite Orbit Stage 5
Physique: Scholarly Foundation (Mid Divine Grade) - enhances comprehension and qi refinement Current Technique: Standard Spiral Core Method (Heaven Grade)
Bottleneck Issue: Body cultivation lagging behind qi cultivation, soul development neglected
Dad's technique only focuses on qi accumulation. His body and soul aren't keeping pace, creating an imbalance that's blocking his advancement.
Runar began designing.
"Triad Nexus Ascension - Peak Supreme Grade"
Core Concept: Unified body-qi-soul cultivation with emphasis on balance and refinement
Dantian Structure:
Creates a Triad Core - three interconnected spheres representing Body, Qi, and Soul Qi sphere draws energy from environment Body sphere processes physical tempering Soul sphere refines spiritual essence Energy circulates between all three constantly, ensuring balanced growth
