Path of Absolute Transcendence

The next day Shark Head woke and went to the library as ordered. Simon already notified everyone to leave, so he can read without any problems.

Shark Head still read the basic knowledge books since Kai didn't gave him any new orders.

'Okay, you can stop reading these books. Now, I need to know the history about this place.' Kai ordered after he finished a book.

Kai was checking whether he learnt everything correctly. With his learning talent, he learned everything in a day.

Shark head did as Kai told and began to read a history book. Without Kai ordering him, he read other books after he finished one.

'Okay, you can stop now for today.' Kai ordered after seeing it was almost night.

"Okay, young master." He muttered, knowing Kai could hear him. With that he left the library and met Simon.

"Young master, are you going to read again tomorrow?" Simon asked after saw shark head.

"Why are asking this now Simon?" Shark head asked doubtfully.

"Young master Dono, since I never allowed anyone inside the library for these two days, some people from your brother side already noticed this sudden change, so I think..."

Shark head didn't let him finish his words "I think about that."

'No, need to think. You don't need to go to library from now on. Increase your cultivation and start gathering allies from on.' Kai suddenly ordered him.

"I changed my mind Simon, from tomorrow onwards, I will cultivate in my room and I also need the list of servants from our family." Shark head said after hearing the order's from Kai.

"Okay, young master, I will make them in two days."

Shark head nodded and left to his room.

KAI'S POV

'The situation is more complicated than I thought' Kai sighed after learning the history of both kingdoms.

There two kingdoms are called Natine and Naline respectively. Shark head's family lives in Natine Kingdom and his family also has a huge influence in the kingdom.

Kai never expected to make a Duke's son to be his puppet, but because of Shark head's unique situation he captured him.

The hierarchy of the kingdom is similar to medevial period on earth. The king and queen is the ruler.

Then there comes Duke. Shark head's father is one of the Duke. After that, marquis, earl and viscount.

These are all the noble titles and everyone is given a piece of land according to their rank for them to rule. The same goes for Naline kingdom, but the names of nobilities weren't mentioned in the library.

Both kingdom came to existence due to the presence of fragment and the first ones to mutate were brothers.

Both of them acquired the fragment and used it to become stronger, but conflict happened between them due to the ownership.

If this were the only reason thing, Kai wouldn't have sighed. He can easily fuel more conflicts between and start a war, but suddenly the king of Naline Kingdom acquired another piece of fragment.

The news also spread to entire kingdom, which caused jealousy to king of Natine kingdom.

He stole the fragment that was common for them, which increased their conflict.

A fight happened between them and but there is no final winner among them. This caused a conflict between kingdoms.

There a lot of small scale war happened among them, but no one is willing to take a gamble.

The reason Kai complained about the situation was because the next fragment wasn't supposed to be here.

Kai approximately knew the location of every fragment. The remaining ones should be in south-west direction which is far away from here.

Neither brother have enough trust with each other to let them use the fragment to find the location of other. So existence of another fragment present here totally distrubts the situation.

'Is it someone already noticed the fragment and planning to acquire?' Kai began to doubt.

The fragment can't magically appear to the king, so there should interference of a third party, which causes a lot of trouble for Kai.

'I can only hope that he wasn't strong like Sebastian.'

SHARK HEAD'S POV

"Simon bring me some energy stone from the vault. If someone asks, tell them it's for gambling and don't reveal the real purpose." Shark head ordered after he woke up.

The energy stones are similar to spirit stones, the functions are same, but it only has a different name.

"Okay young master." Simon bowed and left to the vault.

"How long did I have to cultivate young master?" Shark head muttered to Kai hoping that he could hear him.

'Do it for two or three, you won't be able to break through in few days. Wait till the list from Simon comes.' Kai ordered him using his thoughts.

"Okay, young master."

Shark head stood up and used his talent. He is right now a Tier 2 beast, which is similar to supernatural realm, so he had to transform his talent to break through.

The Qi path, whether it is neutral Qi, Abyssal Qi, five elemental energy or even chaos Qi, everything has the same way of cultivation.

While he was using his talent and cultivating, he heard the voice of Simon.

"Young master, I brough 1000 peak grade energy stone."

"Use them and create a Tier 3 energy gathering formation." Shark head ordered without stopping his training.

"Okay young master." With that he began to draw formation lines.

Simon wasn't strong in direct fight, he was more like a support fighter. Even his talent his called formation master, which allows him to learn about formation faster.

He created a Tier 3 spirit gathering formation and placed the energy stones to support it.

Shark head began to familiarise with his talent, it was called hearts eye. Using his talent, he can somewhat understand the thoughts of others.

Although, this wasn't a overpowered ability, it was a good one regardless.

A week had passed since then and shark head didn't leave his room for a moment.

"Young master, I made a list as you ordered and also selected those with neutral stance." Simon suddenly appeared in his room and said.

"You did a good job by filtering those people." Shark head nodded in satisfaction and took the list.

After reading the list, he frowned.

"Do these people even join under my command?"

"I don't know young master, but they are perfect candidates, since nobody approaches them anymore." Simon shared his analysis.

"Okay, I will personally talk and try to convince them." Shark head replied after thinking for a moment.

Even though Shark head was bullied by everyone in his family, no one objects him when it comes to money.

As a Duke family, their family has enough to spend for countless generations, so they don't care about it even if he simply wanted them.

Also the patriarch wouldn't bullying a already lost person. Even if he doesn't care about thing, he was still a father.

The plan was to obtain them using resources and money, since it was everyone's basic need. If it didn't work, that means he didn't have enough money.

"We will meet this Eldric guy first, I feel he has the most potential among everyone."

"Okay young master, I will arrange the meeting right now."

"No need, do it tomorrow. I like to rest today." Shark head went to bed after that.

He didn't sleep for a week during his training which accumulated lot of fatigue.

The next day he woke up with Simon's call. "Young master, I already brough that Eldric guy. He standing outside your room right now."

"Why did you brought him here?" Shark head asked with a doubt.

"Young master, meeting outside may seen by your brother's spies or someone else, so I brough him here."

"You did a good job. I didn't think about that." Shark head patted Simon's shoulder and praised him.

His room was mostly abandoned and nobody visits. So, he can do almost anything there without arousing anyone's suspicion.

Even if someone came to visit him, that should be only Simon or the mermaid girls he used to play around. They are all this subordinates so he didn't have to worry.

"Okay, bring him inside." Shark head ordered after he dressed up.

"Young master, thank you for inviting me to your room. Can you tell me the matter?" Eldric asked as soon as he came. His tone was pretty emotionless and he got straight to the point without any useless words.

"How can you talk to young master like that?" Simon got angry after hearing that Eldric didn't respect his young master.

"Don't scold him Simon. His personality is like this, and I will take care of this meeting myself." Shark head said and signaled him to leave.

Simon didn't talk back and left after bowing, but he didn't forget to glance at Eldric before leaving.

"Okay, take a seat. We will have discussion for our future cooperation." Shark head said and sat in a chair.

"What future cooperation, I didn't even after to become your subordinate and why are you talking me with a friendly tone." Eldric asked in a confusion.
