Chapter 23 23
"Alright, since you have officially become my disciple, naturally, you'll receive the blessings and merits and you won't regret this decision of yours" Daniel claimed as he walked toward Elizabeth.
"Master?" Elizabeth had a questioning look and once Daniel stopped before her, he placed his palm on her head, and with a smile, he granted all of the cards to her.
"Don't be alarmed and just relax your mind and body" He advised Elizabeth, and decided to trust her master, she softened her mind and heart, and a second later, she had the shock of her life.
"Now that you've become my disciple, I will give you some gifts that will benefit you in the path of a cultivator"
Daniel placed his hand on her head and though Elizabeth wondered about his actions, she remained silent.
'System, use all of the cards for her' He commanded, and in the next few seconds, there were cracks of lightning appearing around her.
* Disciple Elizabeth Tristan has received Zeus Physique(???), Azure Dragon Bloodline(???), Tyrant Spiritual Root(???), Lightning Seed Cultivation Method(???), and the Way of Lightning Cultivation Manual(???) *
Zuke, Luke, and the rest were curious about Daniel's actions, but the moment he granted her the cards, they widened their eyes in fear and surprise.
"W-What's going on!? How come there's suffocating pressure coming from Eliza!?"
Luke was trying to withstand the maddening pressure emitting from Elizabeth.
"T-This must be the work of the young master!" Even Zuke was holding onto his dear life.
This!' He had seen a similar occurrence where a cultivator had awakened his physique. However, the aura emitted by his daughter was 100 times stronger.
"Guk!"
"How is the pressure so strong!?"
All of the cultivators were amazed and also afraid of what was happening.
After all, the sight before them was like a disaster.
Elizabeth was emitting a pressure so strong that lightning was forming on the clouds and cracks of lightning in the form of the dragon were forming around her as it roared against... heaven.
And as she was reaching the peak of her transformation, she began levitating as her body changed due to the infusion.
Her purplish hair had light blue lights mixed with its purple eyes mixed with light blue, and her body had become more charming and attractive than before.
Once her transformation had completed, she descended onto the ground and when she opened her eyes, she was lost for words. She couldn't speak and words were stuck in her throat.
"I-I can cultivate...?" Her voice trembled and she stared at her hand with tears dripping from her eyes.
"Yes, my disciple. You can cultivate now" Daniel caressed her hair.
"M-Master!" Previously if Elizabeth had doubts, now, she no longer had doubts due to the sudden infiltration of information and the newfound energy surging through her body.
"Easy there..." Daniel was stunned that she embraced him while calling out 'Master' repeatedly with tears all over his clothes.
Though Zuke had questions, he realized something must have happened. After all, the aura that was shown earlier on was no joke. And his admiration and respect for Daniel increased.
"Young master, may we be enlightened of what happened?" Zuke wanted to know what had happened, but he was a little bit awkward about wanting to ask.
"To summarize everything, your daughter could now cultivate and she has received the ultimate gift she could ever have. Why don't you show him, my disciple?" Daniel gave the spotlight to her since this was a chance to show the power that was given to her.
"Of course master" Elizabeth had a wide smile and she was more than happy to test her newfound gifts which were unparalleled.
'Master is truly an unfathomable being' Once the gifts were given to her, Elizabeth had received knowledge and even mastery over the gifts that were bestowed.
Once she comprehended the knowledge, her beliefs towards him began to emerge, and this type of belief was akin to a cult.
Moreover, she had seen the image and replication of the origin of her gifts and she wondered whether her master was a half-immortal since her powers were no doubt higher than what Immortals could perceive.
'I never thought the Zeus Physique belonged to an Old man who was considered a 'God' and ruler of Olympus Realm, and how can the size of the Azure Dragon be bigger than 1 Universe...? And who'd have thought that the Tyrant Spiritual Root was a root that held Cosmo of Lighting...'
Elizabeth felt like all of this knowledge was absurd, but it was etched to the core of her soul, and seeing the replication of its origin, she firmly believed in it.
Because of that, her perspectives were broadened and she even received knowledge like realms that were unknown to this world and also, an existence that was far beyond immortal.
As such, part of her personality had been affected and her emotions were enhanced multiple times. She was no longer the same fragile girl, but rather, an overbearing Empress that will soon reveal itself.
To show an example of her power, she snapped her fingers where lightning was summoned and crashed upon the ground that was nearby them.
"T-This! H-How come there's a feint of heavenly tribulation within it!?" Luke was the most surprised and he felt the aura from the lightning was entirely different.
But she didn't stop there as she created a dragon of lightning that descended upon the sky.
* Roar *
The lightning dragon roared before Elizabeth made it disappear by snapping her finger.
"What in the world was that...?"
"Is that truly the young lady's power...?"
"H-How is she able to do that without beginning her cultivation y-yet?"
All of them were in question, but most importantly, they were happy knowing their young lady had now possessed the means to cultivate.
"Eliza...you finally could now cultivate...and you have achieved your lifelong dream..." Zuke said with tears forming in his eyes, and this meant a lot to him.
"Father..." Elizabeth clenched her fist and gritted her teeth, but this time, it wasn't out of frustration or helplessness, but rather, what this signifies to her.
She recalled every single moment of her life and how weak she was to overcome, and knowing she had the tools to write her fate, she was far beyond happy.
"Now, it's time to uphold my promise" Suddenly, Daniel spoke.
"Promise?" Zuke was baffled as he didn't understand what Daniel meant. He recalled their vows earlier on and could make sense of them, but what would he uphold when he had done an act to which not even the Imperials Nobles could do?
