Chapter 100: Luan and Catharina Discover Their Origin

Luan used his spiritual power to pass on the training information that Elias would have to do with each of the twenty people he started training under his command.

"This is the key to the site. You can take them there. If I'm not mistaken it has at least 10 rooms. Women can share rooms, the same for men," Luan said to Elias.

"Okay, I know what to do." Elias took the keys. "I'm taking them over there now. Tomorrow I'll stop by, and we can talk more."

"Yes, see you tomorrow." Luan shook Elias's hand as he said goodbye.

"Okay, Elias and the group already left. Let's go to the gym. There I will try to see your Origin, Catharina, and I will also test mine." Luan said before walking towards the stairs.

Catharina went up the stairs soon after, looking forward to finally knowing her Origin. She knew it could very well be in her mind, and that it was all a coincidence that she had dreamed of the stars, but still, she was excited.

When the women had all arrived in the room, Luan still hadn't arrived, but he showed up at the gym a few minutes later. With him was a pot of green blood and some items in a small bag.

Luan did not explain why he was carrying the pot; he simply told them to move away from the middle of the room and then started to draw a circle in the center of the room with strange letters and runes which they had never seen before.

Not wanting to get in the way, Maira and the girls avoided talking or asking, as they were curious to know what he was doing.

At the moment when Luan finished placing some magic stones around the circle created with runes and ancient letters, he also wrote something in the air with his Qi which soon after merged with the circle. It was then that Luan joined his hand as a sign of prayer and began to murmur some strange words which no one inside the room, besides himself, could understand.

*ZzzzzZZzzz!*

Squeaking noises resounded inside the room, and the letters and runes on the floor glowed in white neon. Luan then said, "Catharina, enter the circle. Then sit in the lotus position and close your eyes while murmuring the words that I will speak to you."

"Yes!" Catharina was a little anxious. Because of that she moved a little robotically towards the circle.

[Veshatqhgohh adorationsanq, vodjq sjsnepkzqvoncelodaq...]

As Luan said some unrecognizable words in an unknown language, Catharina copied what he said, and the circle changed color to red, but then it went back to white.

*

In a strange place, surrounded by nothing but an emptiness that seemed to be infinite, no matter which direction Catharina looked, she saw nothing but the white floor. Maybe it was her impression, but she felt that the temperature in this place where she was was not normal. Catharina dragged her foot on the white floor, and to her surprise, it was made of fabric.

The floor appeared to be made of white scraps. No matter where she dug with her hand, she only saw more scraps of fabric, although in doing so, the color of the fabric underneath changed with a variation of colors.

'I was in the living room and Luan was going to test my Origin... So...' She didn't want to think about it, but was it possible that her Origin was cloth? With twisted lips, she sighed in disappointment, 'And me thinking that my Origin was something incredible like the stars, but in the end, is it something woven? And how exactly do I use it?'

She didn't get the answer. She could only see what her possible Origin was, but she couldn't necessarily control it now since she still hadn't awakened or even created a small path to her Origin, just as Ingrid and Cristina had done.

Before she knew it, Catharina found herself in a sea of ??fabrics. It was like a gale, and she only saw fabrics no matter which direction she looked. She also found herself sinking into the cloths below her feet, and when she tried to move, she was trapped. For a moment, she panicked, but then she opened her eyes and found herself in the living room, sweating a lot.

"Are you alright?" Luan put his hand on her shoulder and asked gently. He checked Catharina's physical and mental state and realized that it was nothing too serious.

"Yes, I think so." Catharina was feeling a little dizzy. For a moment there she had thought she would be buried by tissues.

"Take a deep breath and inhale. Then, have some hot chocolate." Maira went out and fetched a glass of hot chocolate and handed it to Catharina.

"Thanks, Mom." Catharina forced a smile and drank the hot chocolate.

"I will talk with you later, but I have to take advantage of this before the energy in the circle is depleted," Luan said before entering the magic circle as soon as Catharina left him.

"Okay, good luck," Catharina said in a tired voice.

Luan did the same process as Catharina, and the moment he closed his eyes, his consciousness appeared in a strange and mysterious kingdom.

'Cotton? No! Is it a cloud... and a tree? Mm... Isn't it very different from the spiritual tree that I had awakened with my Origin in my previous life? But it seems more mystical, perhaps?' Luan was thoughtful. In the place where he was, he was surrounded by clouds wherever he stepped, and the spiritual tree that he saw was planted in that place. It was a strange event, but it made Luan tremble with excitement.

"I actually have two Origins!" It was almost unbelievable, almost making him want to shout with happiness. A single Origin was able to help tremendously; it was because of his Origin with the spiritual tree that he managed to get so far, but now that he would have two... It was certain to say that if no accident happened, he would arrive at a height that he was never able to achieve in his previous life.

Unlike Catharina, Luan's experience was immense. He, who briefly connected with his Origins, was able to draw some of the residual energy and strengthened his cultivation.

When Luan opened his eyes, he saw that he had reached Refinement Qi - Level 6. His Qi became more powerful, being now 35 times stronger than an ordinary man, only with his Qi.

'If I could stay connected to my home for a few more minutes...' Luan murmured in his heart. Scattering the aura around him, the magic stones around him parted, dissolving like smoke.

"Luan, say, did you manage to find out what your Origin is?" Ingrid asked anxiously.

"Yes, I actually have two." Luan didn't see a reason to hide it and told the truth. "Of my two Origins, one is unknown to me, but not entirely. The other I know very well how incredible it is. In summary, the moment I awaken my two Origins, my strength will increase tremendously."

"Luan, what about me? My Origin is like this..." Catharina started to tell him everything that happened to her.

"I see... Well, I believe it is in fact related to the stars as you said, or rather, a specific star... Mm, when you can reach 20 times stronger than an ordinary man with your body, I have an ideal technique for you to train your Qi. As for what your Origin is capable of, I never saw anyone connect to it, but I know what it is... For simplicity, it's an Origin that comes from a fabric star, capable of creating fabrics at the temperature of the sun. In other words, the potential of your Origin is very high!" As Luan had said, he never saw anyone connect to this Origin, but he had seen the fabric star, and it was just like Catharina had said.

However, when he saw the fabric star, he didn't get too close, as the temperature was very hot... If Catharina trained her Origin well, she would obviously become very strong.

"Wow! I am so happy!" Catharina looked like a child jumping and clapping so happy as she was listening to what Luan said to her.

"Okay, you better take a shower and get some rest. I am also going to my room," Luan said to Catharina after picking up the items he brought with him. Luan kissed Ingrid's lips in an intimate but casual way and left.

*

After showering and taking an hour's nap, Luan opened his eyes and prepared to create weapons and armor. He now had many items, and if he managed to create weapons and armor from the First Order Peak, Maira, Ingrid, Cristina, Catharina, and even himself would have an easier time exploring the dimensional cracks that appeared occasionally.

Another thing he forgot to ask his mother was if she managed to buy the herbs and medicinal plants that she was supposed to spread all over their property. He mainly asked her to buy from all countries willing to sell. His estimate was that about $1 billion would be spent on it, and it would be enough herbs and plants to fill a shed. However, it was necessary, at least if he wanted to continue strengthening everyone.

'Now it is still relatively easy to increase our power, however, this will not continue for long ...' Without the help of pills and formations, it would be difficult to reach 50 times stronger than an ordinary man with only the body and the same was true of Qi.

Besides, wasn't all this why he was looking to make so much money by becoming CEO?

While this was all going on in Luan's mind, he finished separating the items and started creating a sword. Of course, unlike the accessories he couldn't just create it here. He left with the items, heading towards the first floor where the barbecue was. Although a furnace would be better, if he used the fire energy crystal, the result would not be inferior.
