Lirian read through the list it was all information that he had been given before he was sent to Nebula – 6, but it seemed that his system felt like it was only appropriate to implement the quest now that he had the power to not get crushed by any random enemy.
The first part was pretty textbook for anyone exploring a new world, you gather as much data about the world and send it back to your superiors, it was a typical scouting mission and something to prepare candidates for their future.
Once they became princes/princess, they would either join other exploration groups or create their own exploration group and take over worlds that did not belong to the empire.
For that to work they needed to have a breakdown of information to know whether or not a world was worth an invasion, and from there they needed to know the powers that made up the world, to create the best possible plan to integrate the new world into the empire.
The first part of the quest basically tested a candidate's information gathering skills, an essential in any capable officer, as for the second part it was the true challenge, but the academies courses did amply prepare the candidates for such positions.
That however did not make it easy to fulfil those conditions, unlike Lirian other candidates had 200 years to complete their tasks, but it didn't make it much easier after all they still had only 200 years to achieve these things when any other existing power in the world had countless years to build up their foundations and secure their power.
The options of destroyer and conqueror were basically impossible for anyone to achieve, the worlds they went to were filled with cultivators, and it was very likely for seventh grade cultivators to exist on those worlds, reaching the third grade in 200 years is an expected for any candidate, and reaching fourth grade in such a short time would be consider an amazing achievement, that was the type of talent required to be listed as an emperor/empress candidate.
But going above that was impossible in 200 years, hence competing against a seventh grader as a fourth grader was just asking for death, therefor the first two options were unachievable unless someone landed in an especially weak world, or if they were unbelievably talented at manipulating people.
It was said that Empress Cadsuan Clovis, managed to manipulate all the great powers of the world into bloody conflicts, she utilised the three perfect cultivation techniques that the empire gave to all their candidates upon their departure, as a source for their battles.
The techniques that the empire gave to the candidates were amazing even amongst first accord techniques, since the three techniques synergised extremely well, which made the techniques act like a perfect set.
The desirability of the techniques was immense, and she successfully used them to stir the entire world into a frenzy, while keeping herself out of the main battles, eventually the conflict enveloped the entire world.
When the war came to its end the entire world was in ruin with barely any people surviving, Empress Cadsuan was powerless in the battles, yet she managed to stay far away from the centre of the conflict and in the end she killed the last of the seventh graders who were all knocking on deaths door at the end.
Finally, she declared herself as ruler of the entire world, achieving both the achievements of destroyer and conqueror, she was the first in history to achieve both and only two others throughout all the empires ever had the same achievement.
The positions listed under 'Glory' were easier than the other two but that didn't make them any easier, each and every one of those positions were extremely desirable to every person with even the slightest of ambition.
Getting those positions required someone to prove that they were capable, trustworthy, talented, and that was before one considered all the back stabbing and other shady dealings that went on in the background.
There is always someone else aiming for the same position you want, and there are many who would resort to all forms of depraved and vicious acts to get the position.
For candidates obtaining and keeping those positions without dying was the real mission, and it was to obtain those positions that most candidates ended up dying.
It might have seemed cruel, but the empire had no need for pampered leaders who were unable to fend for themselves, if they died they were simply unworthy to represent the empire as princes and princesses
Once Lirian finished reading through the quest details he asked the system, "How long has it been since I started my cultivation?"
[6 day 2 hours] the system quickly answered.
Lirian nodded his head 'I have just about four days to get all those capsules ready,' he thought with a smirk, now that he had his power he would just need a day at most to get it all ready.
'But before I get started with that there is something else that I need to do,' Lirian thought and energy started to gather in his eyes and activated a spell.
[Gods Gaze] – a spell that allows one to see through the flows of energy that make up the world, all forms of energy can be seen through and identified.
As soon as Lirian thought of the ability it instantly started to work, he couldn't use his eyes to see normally, but with this he was at least able to see the energy that made up the world.
If a cultivator stood in front of him, so long as he used this spell he would be able to see what grade they reached and he would be able to vaguely see the stage of their cultivation.
But most important of all with it he could observe all forms of spells and formations, and identify their weaknesses.
Lirian looked at the energy that was oddly stable, usually energy flow rampantly throughout the world, every little move made a person or even a light breeze would make the energy flow differently.
But in the enclose cultivation chamber the worlds energy was completely calm, it didn't even have a simple swirl to it, the energy appeared in a black and white manner, where ever there was concentrated energy the world was extremely white, and where ever the energy was lacking there was a degree of darkness.
Lirian could use this spell for an indefinite period of time, even if he didn't have the 'Unconscious Cultivator' ability, it used very little energy and was extremely useful.
Lirian started to observe the walls of the cultivation chamber, he remembered that mission that he was required to complete to find a way for the masses to cultivate, the first thing he needed to do was observe the cultivation chambers spell.
As Lirian took a deep look at the wall, his breath caught in his throat, and he stepped forward with a look of marvel across his face, he ran his hands against the spell lines, that could be seen only by him, and touched them with a hint of wonder in his eyes.
'This… there is absolutely no way, that this is the work of a mortal,' Lirian thought, 'The interweaving spell lines are impossible to replicate with a mortals skill level, even most immortals will have a hard time of performing this spell so smoothly,' Lirian thought.
If Lirian had any doubts before, they were all gone, the toxin was most certainly the works of the gods, as were the cultivation chambers, it would take eons for someone to develop the skill to spell the room in the way it was spelled, it had to be the work of a real god and a master of spells at that.
But oddly Lirian found it surprisingly simple to understand, it was made to look complicated, but it was actually extremely simple, it was almost as if it was meant to be seen, only people lacked the ability to see it.
Lirian was growing more and more engrossed in the spell, but suddenly Lirian heard a loud sound coming from the door.
He snapped his head around as the energy started to move in the room, and when the door opened he saw a green figure walk into the room.
Green that was the colour of energy that an adept would emit, Lirian immediately knew that it couldn't be Izlandi, after all she was simply a peak novice, if she entered she would have been yellow.
