The Legend of the Cultivation World

First Steps (Local Revisions)

"Sorry for stealing your pill at that time, teacher... But I couldn't help my curiosity. After teacher Arga and Hyman left, I didn't want teacher to leave me alone either."

Arya Wijaya understands very well that the time of Baduga Maharaja is not long. After returning the pill he stole, Arya Wijaya also had to calculate the number of pills belonging to Baduga Maharaja left at that time.

While holding back his tears that could fall at any time Arya Wijaya lowered his face so that Baduga Maharaja did not see his pitiful expression.

Baduga Maharaja put a cup of tea in his hand and felt guilty for not telling Arya Wijaya from the beginning about his condition, but on the other hand he did not have much choice at that time.

Now the Baduga Maharaja could not say a word and just patted the back of Arya Wijaya to calm him down.

Baduga Maharaja just realized the reason Arya Wijaya will sulk and confine himself in the room just because of a small problem. In fact, Arya Wijaya tried to hide her sadness every time she saw the face of Baduga Maharaja.

The dam that held back the flow of tears Arya Wijaya finally collapsed making her face become swollen, even though she had tried to hold it.

The loss of the three teachers that he had already regarded as family clearly made him unable to hold himself back anymore.

On the other hand Baduga Maharaja tried to calm Arya Wijaya. However, he did not want Arya Wijaya to fall into darkness because he continued to blame himself.

"Aryans... Do you know crying over a man who's gone is not a good thing. We should cry when a man is born, because of the burdens borne by them when life is greater."

Hearing the words of Baduga Maharaja immediately made Arya Wijaya try harder to hold back until finally she stopped crying.

After the incident where Baduga Maharaja found out Arya Wijaya had realized what really happened to him. In the last months Baduga Maharaja taught Arya Wijaya more relaxed and not stiff as usual.

But the condition of Baduga Maharaja increasingly worse days until only able to lie in his bed while teaching Arya Wijaya.

Arya Wijaya who studied, he on the other hand now has to take care of Baduga Maharaja. Of course Arya Wijaya takes care of Baduga Maharaja as best as possible even though he already knows in the end Baduga Maharaja will leave for good.

Today is the last time Baduga Maharaja can be with Arya Wijaya after giving various valuable lessons to the boy.

Now Arya Wijaya is in the room with Baduga Maharaja to accompany her at the last moment. The dimensional ring belonging to the Baduga Maharaja which contains his belongings and also belongs to Arga Mahesa and Hyman Nirwasita, is now seen already installed in Arya Wijaya.

Looking at the sad expression on Arya Wijaya's face, Baduga Maharaja could only faintly smile. He then forced his already extremely weak body to sit down, and took out a silver face-shaped mask that Hyman Nirwasita had long entrusted to Arya Wijaya.

Baduga Maharaja then put the silver mask on the face of Arya Wijaya to hide the expression of the child who looks sad.

"It turns out that the mask Hyman put on me is a perfect fit for you." Said Baduga Maharaja with a soft and hoarse voice while smiling which immediately made Arya Wijaya try to hold back her tears.

From the crevices of the mattress Baduga Maharaja took a sword wrapped in white cloth then given to Arya Wijaya.

Baduga Maharaja then explained a little about the sword he had just given to Arya Wijaya. The sword is a sword that has a curse in it.

Baduga Maharaja did not tell Arya Wijaya that it was the old grandfather who put the sword and actually the curse sword itself belonged to Arya Wijaya before he was sealed first by the old Grandfather and lost his memory.

"Someone left it to me to give it to you. You have to be careful when using it, because after the sword comes out of its sheath there must be one life sacrificed."

Hearing the words of Baduga Maharaja, Arya Wijaya could only nod slowly without saying a word.

"Remember the message I say to you every time. Don't forget the last request I asked at the time..."

"Aryans... Live your life as best you can and find people who can help you unite 7 countries..."

"Don't live a life like mine, you have to find someone who can accompany you in pleasure or hardship..."

After saying the last words, Baduga Maharaja breathed his last breath and his body turned into grains of light that entered into the Crystal Core of Arya Wijaya.

Arya Wijaya is now only alone after being left behind by Baduga Maharaja. Behind the mask Arya Wijaya finally could not resist crying and apologizing to Baduga Maharaja for crying, however he could not resist when the teacher who had been considered like his own father was gone.

Before leaving to carry out the duties given by Baduga Maharaja. Arya Wijaya stayed there for a day.

After being able to calm himself, Arya Wijaya then made a final tribute in front of the stone that contained the names Baduga Maharaja, Arga Mahesa, and Hyman Nirwasita.

From inside the dimensional ring Arya Wijaya took out four cups and one bottle of liquor which was very liked by Arga Mahesa.

He then poured them all four cups and drank one of them. Arya Wijaya then cut the long hair that she had tied from a long time ago and placed it in front of the stone of respect.

"Teacher... Thank you for teaching me for 5 years. I won't forget your names...." Arya Wijaya then put on a silver mask that covered her face except for the eyes.

The curse sword wrapped in white cloth then Arya Wijaya carried it on her back before finally leaving the place full of memories.

After descending from the mountain, for the last time Arya Wijaya looked back at the place before finally leaving to continue the journey.

When Arya Wijaya went the mountain immediately disappeared and could not be seen by outsiders because of the formation that Baduga Maharaja deliberately made long ago.

During one year studying with Baduga Maharaja cultivation development Arya Wijaya did not progress, because for one year only learned things such as formations, seal techniques, war strategies, and basic things of the Kingdom.

With various resources provided by Baduga Maharaja, Arga Mahesa, and Hyman Nirwasita. Arya Wijaya does not need to worry about finances anymore and only needs to focus on her main job and cultivation.

The hill where Arya Wijaya and his three teachers themselves are on the border of Pasanggaran Kingdom and Brawijaya Kingdom. That makes Arya Wijaya must be careful considering the condition of the two Kingdoms increasingly tense.
