Absolute In/Existence

10 Years Later

Now, 18 years old, Heaven was rewarded with his own personal palace by his father.

Moving into his new residence, Heaven lost himself in his thoughts.

In these ten years since he has received the two techniques, Heaven has been studying and researching.

On the first day Heaven studied the techniques, he had already completely understood them and even comprehended them.

However, that's when the problems began. After comprehending it, he was able to sense and see the flaws and mistakes in the techniques. Yet he didn't know how to fix these problems.

So, he focused on studying the techniques and gathering other techniques from the entire Empire.

It wasn't long before he was able to finally understand and expand his knowledge. He was finally able to see further ahead and come up with his own conjectures as he gathered experience.

Now, it has been ten years since and the techniques have greatly changed to the point where they were completely unrecognizable and refined.

However, all of that didn't matter today.

Today he was moving into his new palace.

Aside from the palace, his father gave him some maids and eunuchs to help around his new palace.

It was his father's way of helping him become responsible and get used to leading and ordering people around.

…

Arriving at his new palace, Heaven had his maids and eunuchs move his personal belongings into his new personal palace.

With an appreciative smile, Heaven studied his new palace from the outside to it's inside.

Accompanying Heaven were two personal maids that were ready for any beck and call of his. Ready to do whatever his wishes… is what his father had told him.

Exploring his palace, Heaven memorized the layout of his new residence.

"Prepare the bath, I want to relax today," Heaven told his maids as he calmly walked with a small smile that seemed permanent on his face.

"Yes, Prince!"

One of the maids nodded and left to prepare his bath.

Continuing his walk, Heaven no longer explored his palace and was simply sightseeing.

"Prince, the bath has been prepared," the only maid following Heaven suddenly said as if she received a message.

Heaven didn't question it as he had heard of some peculiar techniques that accomplish such a thing.

Walking ahead, Heaven went to his bath.

…

Entering his bath, Heaven saw the large bath that could accommodate quite a large amount of people. Luckily, he was already used to this type of large bath and he entered the water with a sigh of relaxation.

The water was warm and it easily made him feel relaxed. His mind calmed down and he could feel how the world seemed to brighten much more.

The flow of his thoughts were smoother and her could think faster.

Of course, this was all an illusion he felt from feeling relaxed.

Submerging himself in the feeling of relaxation, Heaven didn't notice two figures enter the bath.

"Prince~"

"Young Prince~"

Splash!

Opening his eyes, Heaven noticed two beautiful woman approach him. Their eyes bright, their lips a beautiful cherry color, and their skin was snow white, perfectly combing with their black hair.

Heaven's gaze unconsciously lowered and he saw the women's bare breasts and their bodies in all it's glory.

Curiosity and confusion filled Heaven as he looked at the two women.

Unaware of what was happening and why his two mades were naked.

"Young Prince, we're here to help you relax," said one of the maids, her voice soothing and enticing.

Confused as to what is going on, Heaven followed the flow and relaxed himself, allowing his personal maids to approach him.

"Prince~…"

"Young Prince~"

"Nnn…"

Heaven furrowed his eyebrows as he felt his personal maids touching his body with their fair hands, their slender fingers pressing against his body.

It felt strange, but it also felt good…

'What's happening?'

Heaven opened his eyes and looked up at the ceiling, feeling himself lost in this new wonderful feeling of having his body touched.

"Mm… Prince~"

"Young Prince~ you're so beautiful built~"

A smile appeared on Heaven's face as he listened to the words of his personal maids. His gaze turning somewhat cloudy as he lost himself in the wonderful feeling.

Splash…

The water moved and suddenly, Heaven felt something above his face. Focusing, Heaven noticed two beautiful white mountains with pink peaks.

They lowered themselves and he felt his face be touched by one of the most softest things he has ever felt. It was like he had his face in a fluffy cloud.

"Relax Prince… leave everything to us~"

"Leave your body to us, Young Prince~"

Heaven listened to the voices of his maids and he nodded at them from beneath the two snowy peaks.

Happy at seeing their Prince nod and consent to them going further, excited looks appeared on the faces of Heaven's personal maids as they both turned to look at below the water where the rest Heaven's body was.

"Mmm…"

Heaven groaned as he felt something warm touch his crotch and feeling his stomach churn with butterflies.

It was strange… it was amazing… it was exhilarating!

Splash! Splish!

…

Exiting the bath two hours later, Heaven had a refreshed look on his red face.

His eyes were dazed and a silly smile was on his face as he recalled everything his maids did to him. How they guided him and helped him release multiple times.

Heaven recalled the expressions of his maids; ecstatic, happy, joyful, and blissful.

Thump-thump!

Feeling his heart beat fast and his body growing warm, Heaven felt like calling his personal maids once more to experience those feelings and desires once more.

However, just before he could turn to the bath, Heaven saw a eunuch approach him.

"Prince! The Royal Scholar has come to seek advice once more!"

Hearing the Royal Scholar's words, Heaven looked at the eunuch before glancing back at the bath. He wanted to go back to the embrace of his maids, but he barely held himself back as he turned to look at the eunuch.

"Lead the way," Heaven said as he forcefully calmed himself down and focused on things at hand.

The eunuch bowed and turned around before walking forward, leading Heaven forward.

Walking behind the eunuch, Heaven looked back at the bath one more time before sighing.

…

"Sage!"

Exiting out into his courtyard, Heaven heard the voice of the Royal Scholar.

Turning his head, Heaven saw a middle aged man.

This was the new Royal Scholar, the man who took over legacy and title of the previous Royal Scholar who passed away.

"Haha, I'm nowhere near being called a sage, Qasim," Heaven said as he called the Royal Scholar by his name.

Qasim smiled brightly and shook his head, "No, Sage! You have helped this country develop rapidly and grow ever since you were seven years old!

The fields have never been greener! The people have never been more clean and smart! The martial artists are stronger! Knowledge has blossomed thanks to you, the Sage!"

Heaven shook his head.

Since young, Heaven had helped the Empire grow and develop. He had learnt and comprehended many things and even imparted a tiny part of his knowledge to the Royal scholar and to the people.

He advanced every job and skill.

From blacksmithing to craftsmanship, to even hunting and farming.

Any skill and job grew under Heaven's touch and they flourished wonderfully.

The people of the Empire unanimously agreed to call Heaven a Sage, or rather a Mortal Sage. To prove his intelligence and wisdom.

"Sage, today I have come to deliver some seeds and special herbs I have discovered whilst traveling the Empire. I heard that the Sage has been tending to a garden and has even been successfully bringing back extinct vegetation that has been thought to no longer exist. To even be able to grow seeds that were once thought to be impossible to germinate and grow!

Truly the work of a Sage!"

Heaven shook his head and accepted the seeds and special herbs from Qasim.

"Thank you, Qasim," Heaven said. "Be careful out on your travels."

"Yes, Sage!"

Qasim bowed and was just about to leave before he recalled something.

Seeing Qasim stop and turn around, Heaven watched as Qasim pulled out a rather mysterious book from his pocket.

"Sage, please accept this book. I have tried deciphering what was in it, but I've been unable to understand a single word. However, if it's the Sage, I know the Sage can decipher it!"

Qasim bowed and left after dropping off the book.

Watching Qasim leave, Heaven looked down at the book in his hand.

The book seemed old, but it was very resilient and made of an unknown material.

There wasn't anything on the cover or back of the book, so Heaven opened the book and looked at the book.

His gaze landed on the words in the book and Heaven found it difficult to understand and felt like this book carried some secrets of the universe.

Closing his eyes for a second, Heaven soon opened them and felt like he could see through the book.

Dao…

The Way…

As Heaven read through the book, he felt like the universe had opened up to him. He could feel a close connection to something.

Heaven felt his mind be washed and his already strong comprehension and perception suddenly break through many limits before he suddenly no longer had any limits restraining his comprehension and perception.

Woosh!

In the empty courtyard, Heaven's body seemed to undergo some baptism.

His original black eyes with a small amount of stars in them seemed to change as the stars in his eyes began to grow in number and became brighter and brighter.

Soon enough, his eyes turned into a golden color.

Woosh!!!

The plants around Heaven grew and blossomed and even the animals in the surroundings began to approach Heaven in harmony.

A few seconds later, everything seemed to calm down and the book in Heaven's hands dissipated into the wind.

The animals remained for a few seconds before leaving unwillingly. The only thing that remained was Heaven and the beautifully overgrown plants.

"This…"

Heaven stood their stunned, his eyes now a permanent golden color due to his comprehension and perception becoming limitless and turning monstrous.

He looked down at his hands where the book once was and instantly knew that the book had nothing to do with his comprehension and perception.

That book was a simple book of insights from one of the weakest immortals(cultivator) that even a mortal could kill.

However, that book had helped Heaven to unlock his mind's potential a step in advance.

Now, nothing could hold him back anymore.

Even just standing in place, Heaven felt like he was comprehending everything in an instant.

Life, plants, growth, talent…

He even began to understand how plants grow and how to enhance that. From how the sun and moon move and interact with the world, to how life is born and space works.

Everything was extremely clear to Heaven and he understood everything.

Looking around, Heaven eventually made his way back to his room to rest.

Maybe even call over his maids…
