"Alright... this is a good start," he muttered.
The hall was quiet. Too quiet.
The Trial World hadn’t given him any mission or guidance since he arrived. No messages. No hints. Nothing.
He leaned back in the chair, tapping the armrest with his finger.
"So what am I supposed to do? Sit here and wait?" he scoffed. "No. I’m not that kind of person."
He stood up and looked out the window toward the vast mountain range.
"If this world wants to test me... then fine. I’ll rise to the top."
He clenched his fist, lightning flickering around it.
"Maybe that’s what the Trial wants. For me to dominate this place."
He took a deep breath.
"I’ll build a real power here. A sect that stands above all others."
Outside, disciples were busy rebuilding courtyards, repairing stone walls, and reactivating formations. The remaining elders were organizing manuals, checking resources, and making sure Tian Lei’s rules were followed.
The entire sect was moving.
And Tian Lei, standing alone in the hall, felt a clear certainty in his chest.
"As soon as I reach the peak of this world... the Trial will respond."
He smirked.
"And until then, I’ll make sure everyone knows the name—
Fantasy Life Sect."
Thunder crackled faintly in the sky, as if answering him.
Six years passed in the blink of an eye.
The Fantasy Life Sect was no longer the same battered mountain it used to be. Grand stone halls covered the peaks, spiritual mist flowed through restored formations, and thousands of disciples trained day and night under strict rules. The sect’s name echoed across the region.
But Tian Lei?
He had changed the most.
Inside his personal cultivation chamber, the dense spiritual fog churned violently, almost like a storm trapped inside a bottle. Runes glowed on the floor. The air shook every few seconds.
Tian Lei sat cross-legged in the center, his body covered in glowing red patterns that pulsed like beating veins.
His eyes were closed. His breathing was calm.
But the pressure leaking from him was anything but calm.
BOOM.
A surge of spiritual energy burst out, shaking the walls. A dragon-like roar echoed—except it came from inside Tian Lei’s body.
His Beast Soul had awakened.
Twelve wings of red light unfolded behind him—each wing shimmering with raw, destructive power.
Tian Lei slowly opened his eyes.
They were no longer the same blue lightning eyes from six years ago. Now, a crimson glow mixed with them, like lightning fused with a blazing beast.
"So it finally awakened..." he whispered.
For years, he couldn’t cultivate using spiritual energy like the others. His magic, his arcane soul mark, his lightning spells—those were his main weapons.
But now?
His Beast Soul had awakened automatically at age twelve, just like the world’s rules dictated.
And the moment it awakened... his entire path changed.
He raised his palm, watching the red energy swirl around it.
"Spiritual power," he murmured. "I can finally use it too."
It wasn’t as strong as his magic yet—he knew that.
His arcane soul marks had grown insanely over the past six years.
134 marks.
A number so high that even Saint-Rank experts would lose to him.
The cultivation realms of this world were:
Mortal, Earth Spirit, Heaven, Lord, Overlord, King, Emperor, Saint, Grand Saint, Saint Lord, Saint Overlord, Saint King, Saint Emperor, and more beyond that.
He had already surpassed the Mortal Stage and stepped directly into the Saint cultivation realms.
But even though he possessed Saint-level power through magic, his spirit cultivation was still at zero — because he had just awakened his beast.
No matter how powerful his magic was, he couldn’t break into the higher realms without first breaking through the Saint Rank properly along the spirit path.
Shaking his head, Tian Lei exhaled slowly and focused his energy inward.
Right now, the shells from the beast egg inside his body were merging with his flesh and bones, creating a domain seed within him. Fascinatingly, this answered something he had wondered for years:
Where do beast tamers get their innate domain?
Now he understood — the beast egg shells formed the domain seed, while the beast itself brought the innate talent tied to the tamer’s cultivation.
"I wonder what kind of talent I’ll get from this beast..." Tian Lei mumbled as he looked at the magical beast forming in front of him.
It was a six-winged bird — its feathers a mix of white, black, and silver lightning.
Its body slowly took shape like a divine phantom, six wings spreading elegantly.
On the top of its head rested a small, glowing star-shaped crown.
The six-winged bird slowly solidified, its form becoming clearer with every heartbeat.
Feathers shimmered like starlight.
Lightning crawled across its wings.
Its star-shaped crown glowed brighter and brighter.
Tian Lei’s eyes widened slightly.
"I guess adding the Seven Stars radiant Lion as well as a White Lighting Phoenix bloodline worked out in the end"
The last of the egg-shell essence merged into his bones, and the phantom bird let out a silent cry that echoed directly into his soul.
FWOOOM—
A burst of celestial energy flooded the hall.
Constellations flickered around him.
Stars appeared and vanished in the air.
A vast, limitless feeling spread out from his body as if the night sky itself had descended.
Tian Lei clenched his fists.
"...A Six-Winged Star Phoenix."
A divine species.
A beast so rare that even ancient texts barely mentioned it.
And right after the thought formed, a new power ignited inside his dantian — the newly formed domain.
It expanded outward like a spreading galaxy:
The Starry Sky Domain.
A domain said to exist only in heaven-defying prodigies, capable of bending starlight and space itself.
Tian Lei let out a long breath.
"So that’s my domain..."
He lifted his hand, and tiny stars began orbiting his palm like a small universe.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
"With this... breaking through the Saint Rank on the spirit path won’t be difficult."
" Now, I can cultivate and my element is Stars, Lighting, Flames and Life" Tian lei mumbled wondering where he can get the sultivation technique thats suits it or he can also just create it.
