Grand Dad Is The Pervert God-Chapter 18 The Body Sustains The Soul, And The Soul Nurtures The Body.
The sun rose slowly in the east.
Its yellow golden rays touched upon the ship announcing the birth of a new day.
"Young master Dan! Young master Dan!!" Jimmy tapped Dan on the shoulder.
He had watched a marvellous show and had slept off at the peephole to the cinema.
Dan yawned as he slowly opened his eyes.
"Commander half bra has invited us to have breakfast with her," Jimmy informed.
"Hmm!" Dan nodded as he stood up from the ground. It had been a cold night sleeping on the ground. But the melodious lullaby the women inside the room provided kept him warm all night.
"What about Grand Dad?"
Jimmy gave a dry laugh, "it would seem that master Eros worked himself all night. I think we should allow him some time to rest."
Dan nodded in understanding as he stood up and followed behind jimmy.
However, only two steps in and he pauses. He turned and looked at the locked cabin. Thoughts of what he saw last night swarm in his head, and he remembered Eros's words back when he confronted him in the Manor.
His eyes shone in reverence, "god of love and desire..." he whispered.
Meanwhile, Inside the room, strong energy forces were gathering around a man seated in a lotus position.
Around him at different corners lay the guests he had last night.
Their legs were left open for the need for fresh air.
And the manly custard that had been poured into them still dripped down their legs.
However, they all slept peacefully.
Even though he was not the only one in the room, the aura surrounding him was quite lonely.
After his pervasive acts with these women the previous night, he had an abundance of Yin qi to absorb.
He remained in his position as he slowly absorbed the yin qi the women produced and the energy from the pervasive acts.
He filtered them through the shard of Divinity in his body to produce a different kind of primordial energy.
This was pure celestial energy.
And it saturated his body ever so slowly.
Firstly, he used the energy to open up his meridians. At the first stage of the soul disciple realm, one's muscles were temporarily enhanced.
'Temporary' because it was the beginning of cultivation and had the probability of losing one's path of cultivation if practice was stopped.
In fact, many people in different places did not consider it a starting point of cultivation because of the probability of one losing gains.
But at the second stage, came the clearing of one's meridians. It is said that on the part of cultivation, one must clear their meridians with each rank they climb.
There was an old-age question of what came first. Was it the Chicken or the egg?
This question was later translated in cultivation.
which came first, was it the soul or the body?
This question was the building block for cultivation.
After all, it was a fact that the soul was a more powerful entity than the fleshy body that was susceptible to the forces of nature.
However, the soul was unable to maintain sustenance outside the body.
Thus came the cultivation of the soul in order for the strengthening of the body against nature to become a reality.
The body sustains the soul, and the soul nurtures the body in return.
Thus giving birth to mortals with the ability to break out of the bondage of their mortality.
However, it also made the world a harsher place for those that could not cultivate.
After all, in every society of every realm, strength was always praised and weakness frowned upon.
The only reason that people such as Eros who did not have cultivation could survive and rule, was because of their status.
After all, it was not the first time that an heir apparent decided not to walk the path of cultivation.
However, the kingdom had to save face by putting bloodlines first.
Aside from humans, beasts of all kinds with the ability to tap into the power of the soul also existed. Just like the Violet black lightening Soul crow that came to deliver the message to commander half bra.
Soul beasts had the power to cultivate their souls on their own and were usually far stronger than human cultivators of equal ranks. 𝒻𝓇𝘦𝘦𝘸𝘦𝘣𝘯𝑜𝓋𝘦𝑙.𝒸𝑜𝓂
Eros remained in the Lotus position. This body he had inhabited had never cultivated a day before now, and age made matters worse.
All his meridians were old and weak. Healing and strengthening them took time. If he was using any of the lesser energies, this would not even be possible. but this was primordial energy.
It was the foundation by which all things were built. If there was a miracle drug in the world, then this was it.
The women around him were too tired to notice his cultivation progress. But it was there, and it was climbing too.
In this manner, night fell.
....
Dan watched the moon, and the swaying of the sea as he rested at the bow of the ship.
He was not wearing his noble robe, but the inner white long-sleeve shirt which he folded up to his elbows.
Unlike last night, it was pretty quiet. And this time around, the distraction of watching live-action drama did not sway his mind from the cold in the air.
He had gone to check on his granddad several times, but the door was still locked, and when he peeped, he could see his granddad seating in a lotus position with his eyes closed.
Although he had never seen such behaviour from his granddad before, he naturally assumed that he was resting.
Jimmy had advised that he did not enter. Stating that it would be rude to Eros and to the women.
In respect of that, he was left without a place to stay.
He was bored and decided to help around the ship. After all, they were travelling together, and his granddad thought him much about humility.
Apart from working here and there, he had the opportunity to hear some stories from them.
These women that had come time and time again to plunder from his land were surprisingly not as bad as he always thought them to be.
He had come to understand them. At least a bit.
"is he still asleep?" a familiar voice sounded behind him.
He turned about. It was the Half bra commander.
"yes!" he nodded.
She had two mugs in her hands. She offered one to him. He thanked her as he received it. He sniffed a bit. This was the smell of alcohol.
Even though he was a noble, the financial state of the Tate's Fiefdom never allowed him the luxury of having alcohol.
This was a first for him.
He braced himself and took a deep gulp of it.
*Cough! Cough!*
He coughed a lot. It felt like what he poured down his throat was a mug of fire.
She laughed hard at his reaction.
"You'll have to be careful. Pirates Rum is nothing to frown at."
He coughed some more, "Tha... Thank... You!" he mentioned in a hoarse voice.
She gave a charming smile, "by the way, there is something I'll like to ask you."
Dan heard the familiar sound of a weapon.
He raised his head. Commander Half bra was raising a gun at his face...
