Seeing that there was an old man who was cultivating in that foreign place, Arya Wijaya tried to call him to ask where he was now.
'wait... It's not rude if I interrupt her now. I better wait for him to finish meditating.'
Arya Wijaya paused her intention when she was about to ask the old man who was cultivating in the lake. Arya Wijaya chose to wait until it was finished by the lake.
From under the tree Arya Wijaya observed a mysterious old man whose face could not be seen because of the white light covering him.
"Is he a holy monk? But why still have hair, instead of a monk having to be bald?"
Arya Wijaya bent both legs and leaned her chin on her knees as she watched the mysterious old man she thought was a holy monk.
Hearing Arya Wijaya's voice made the concentration of the mysterious old man break apart. The old man coughed because Arya Wijaya thought he was a holy monk.
By sitting on the lotus flower the old man then approached Arya Wijaya, like riding a flying carpet.
Seeing the arrival of the old man instantly made Arya Wijaya become nervous to the point of not being able to say a word. He did not even have time to pay his respects to the old man.
"Son, did you just call me a bald monk?" The old man asked in a tone that sounded displeased, but also not angry.
Arya Wijaya scratched her cheek while laughing awkwardly. He could only nod slowly and not dare to look at the old man directly realizing he had offended him.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to say it, sir."
Seeing Arya Wijaya apologizing to him, the old man just sighed and waved his hand for not wanting to prolong the misunderstanding between them.
The old man then sat down beside Arya Wijaya. Of course he was aware of the gaze of the boy's eyes that were filled with many questions.
"Don't worry, we're now in your subconscious." The old man told the place where they were now to Arya Wijaya.
Arya Wijaya nodded slowly but she did not quite understand what the old man had said. If that place was his subconscious, why would the old man be there Arya Wijaya thought.
'Is that old man an intruder? Why would he be where only I could be?'
As if he could hear Arya Wijaya's inner voice suddenly the old man laughed loudly to make Arya Wijaya's subconscious shake made.
Sensing the ground shaking violently, Arya Wijaya immediately ducked down, and gripped tightly against the grass so as not to crash.
Not long after the shock stopped along with the old man's laughter which ended. "Why did you duck Arya Wijaya, are you a frog?"
Hearing the old man say his name Arya Wijaya frowned, because he had not introduced himself at all but the old man already knew him.
"Did your eyes hurt Arya Wijaya? Don't look at me like that, you scare me."
The old man laughed slowly realizing Arya Wijaya's curiosity towards him who knew his name without needing to ask first.
"Don't be surprised, I even know all the ins and outs of your past life that used to be a hit man. Although unfortunately you have to be killed by a former messenger of your own business partner when you have decided to get out of the black world."
The old man then told Arya Wijaya to reflect using the reflection of surface water in the lake. Arya Wijaya was speechless when she saw her old body.
"Who are you?" Arya Wijaya looked at the old man with great caution, after feeling all his secrets had been known to the old man.
The old man suddenly stood up and patted Arya Wijaya on the shoulder. "It's not yet time for you to know who I really am. Now come back before your three teachers cry like babies thinking you're dead."
Arya Wijaya's consciousness instantly disappeared and as soon as she opened her eyes again she found Baduga Maharaja, Hyman Nirwasita, and Arga Mahesa sitting around her.
Seeing that Arya Wijaya had opened his eyes, Baduga Maharaja, Hyman Nirwasita, and Arga Mahesa hugged him tightly to make Arya Wijaya have difficulty breathing.
On the other hand the old man who was previously Arya Wijaya in his subconscious smiled faintly before disappearing from that place in the blink of an eye.
*******
Without feeling two years already Arya Wijaya trained with Arga Mahesa. In two years there has been a lot of progress that Arya Wijaya has achieved with sweat and struggle while passing hard training from Arga Mahesa.
During these two years Arya Wijaya's cultivation realm had risen to the 6th Qi Mastery layer, it only needed 4 more layers before becoming a Spirit Refinement of the 1st layer.
Not only did Arya Wijaya's cultivation realm improve but also the quality of his bones had now become a Teen Dragon in accordance with the expectations of the Baduga Maharaja.
Some empty-handed martial arts techniques have been taught by Arga Mahesa to Arya Wijaya to reach the advanced stage. There are three stages of mastery of martial techniques, namely amateur, beginner, and proficient.
10 Dragon scales Arya Wijaya has managed to get which means he has opened one seal in his body. With the opening of a single seal Arya Wijaya who was in the Qi Mastery realm could already be compared to the Heavenly Road realm Swordsman.
To fight for a full day Arya Wijaya does not need to worry anymore because the Qi capacity he can use has increased by 10 percent.
As a final test Arga Mahesa brought Arya Wijaya into the crater of a volcano that is still active and has a boiling lava pool.
Arya Wijaya who already has 10 Dragon scales can now survive the heat of boiling lava that is right on the edge of where she stands now.
Arga Mahesa then formed a formation to make the mountain shake violently as if it could erupt at any time. The rocks mixed with hot lava suddenly started fusing into one forming a ten meter tall stone giant.
The stone giant created by Arga Mahesa was equivalent to an Emperor-level Demon Beast. The Demon Beasts themselves had some improvements as well as the Swordsmen.
Rankings on Demon Beasts include Spirit Perfecting, Body Forging, Crystal Core Forming, King, Emperor, Heavenly Road, Legend, Nirwana, Mystic.
In these two years Arya Wijaya had killed dozens of King-level Demon Beasts and hundreds of other Demon Beasts that were under him as a training tool as well as food.
"Are you sure Teacher? It would definitely be very easy despite being one level above a King-level Demon Beast."
Although he had never fought an Emperor-level Demon Beast but Arya Wijaya had high confidence to deal with it.
"You better not underestimate your opponent Arya, let alone her being made by me."
Arga Mahesa gave a warning to Arya Wijaya, but the boy ignored him and seemed to casually approach the stone giant while stretching his bones that felt stiff.
