Chapter 961 Comprehending Elemental Laws

Meditation Hall, Royal Castle.

Lilith brought Lith to this space. It was empty, but filled with elemental energies essential for cultivation.

The many runes on the walls and formations on the ceiling helped provide a steady flow of it.

Lilith turned to Lith as they stood in the middle of the hall. She held his face and said with a soft smile, "As much as mama wants to have you all for herself, she needs to wait. Yours and Alea's ascensions are near, the main focus should be on that."

Lith nodded his head and didn't say anything.

Lilith smiled and gave a soft kiss to him. "Alright, sit down. Mama will teach you a few things and once Alea joins, we'll begin your joint training."

Lith sat down, cross-legged, and focused on his mother. After so many years, he was back to being taught by her. It felt quite nostalgic.

As the matter was urgent, Lilith did not waste time and went to preaching the elemental laws.

She was well aware of where Lith lacked and focused on those elements first.

The element she chose to teach first was Wind.

Going from the basics, about what Wind energy actually was, Lilith smoothly elevated Lith's level to the realm prior to his.

As she started talking about the laws he needed to comprehend at his own level, that is, the Half King one, she began with,

"…Wind is not the movement of air. It is the opposite. Air is the result of Wind elemental energy. At your level, you should also know that a world where sentient beings live only exists if all twelve elemental energies are in harmony and equilibrium."

"Light brings heat, and it evaporates Water. The vapour flows to the land through Wind, and it starts raining, giving rise to Lightning as well. The rain then solidifies the growth conditions on Earth; Life comes into play and making use of this opportunity, lets plants grow."

'Ah… The water cycle…' Lith suddenly thought as his mother took a pause. 'Haah… Who would've thought I would be learning about grade school science theories during an important ascension…'

It was a bit funny how this was deemed so important and was a must to know to comprehend the elemental laws.

If Lith did not possess an all elemental affinity, so much was not needed to be known.

In any case, from the water cycle his mother shifted to talking about the growth of plants through Life energy, and then how it's consumed by animals, and eventually brought the Fire, Dark and the Death elements in the mix.

Space, Time, and Destruction elements were skipped, as they weren't a proper part of the water and the life cycle.

If things had to be summarized, the elemental energies could be grouped together.

An element in a group could only exist on a planet if the others were present. It was not a hard and fast rule, but generalizing it wasn't wrong either.

Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and Lightning were in one group. Even with a single element missing, the others would cease to exist. There were exceptions, but those worlds were really rare.

Next, Life and Death could be grouped together. It was mandatory, a compulsion, and a law of the universe. One could not exist without the other, there were no exceptions to it.

If there was no beginning(Life), there was no end(Death). Likewise, if something did not end, then could it even begin again?

It was thought provoking and a complex topic, but long story short, Life and Death elements could not exist without each other.

Next group was the Space and Time element. Usually they existed together, but they were independent of each other. This was a group completely opposite to the Life and Death one.

Next was the Light and Dark. Just like Life and Death, this was an inseparable pair too. One could not exist without the other, and there was no exception to it.

One important thing to note about this was that, Darkness is not the absence of Light, it is the presence of absence.

Dwelling more onto it would become philosophical and in this realm, knowing this much was fine.

The last element, the Destruction element, is usually seen as independent to the other elements.

However, this element was like potatoes. It went together with anything and everything, and was good enough on its own as well.

One Life and Death cycle could also be called one Destruction cycle. Water turning into vapour can be said to be destroyed and converted into another form, but this was not a proper reasoning, but also not something totally false.

Dwelling too much on this at the current realm was not needed. Knowing this much was enough.

Lith's attainment in the Destruction laws had started rising already.

All around Lith, multiple sparks of colorful elemental energies ignited as he comprehended one law after another.

As his attainment was steadily rising, the elemental energies in his immediate surroundings were breaking free from their equilibrium and rushing into his body, more specifically, into the twelve elemental cores around his main core.

At some point, Agalea and Alea had arrived in the meditation hall, but nobody disturbed Lith or Lilith.

Alea simply walked towards Lith and sat beside him, basking in the preaching Lilith was giving.

She closed her eyes and comprehended these things as well.

Soon, even her immediate surroundings had elemental energy fluctuations and sparks appeared.

Agalea watched at the scene with an interested look, a proud feeling swelling in her heart.

Alea had been stuck in the Half King Rank realm for so long, it was finally time to break through the bottleneck.

She was a thousand years old now and most geniuses break through to the King Rank, but Alea was yet to do so.

Comparison was a thief of joy, but still, it pained Agalea to see her child waste her potential by slacking off.

She didn't force Alea and let her grow at her pace, however, this girl was too carefree and relaxed, and didn't bother much with her cultivation.

Thankfully, she was taking it seriously. And with Lith cultivating with due diligence, Agalea felt it would affect Alea too and boost her morale to work harder to ascend.

Everything was good, Agalea was happy with the developments. She smiled and continued to watch her daughter and nephew comprehend Lilith's preaching.

Time swiftly passed by and it was almost fifteen days since Lilith began preaching.

She would stop time to time to let the two digest the preachings, but now she stopped because of the changes around Alea.

The elemental energies were zapping around her body like lightning, and it was much more intense than Lith's.

This indicated her ascension was here, and with just one thought, she could start it.

"Alright you two, get out of your meditation and focus on me."
