The First Store System

Chapter 1069: The Fortis Empire!

"Aakesh, I want this cultivation art." Tira requested Aakesh and handed him the page.

Aakesh nodded and looked at the page. He could also see a virtual book floating around Tira. The next moment, all the details of the art appeared in his head.

"You need to pay seventy-four supreme and twenty-five thousand higher Sacred stones," Aakesh said expressionlessly after the one percent deduction that Tira had already made.

Tira nodded, and the next moment, the payment got deducted from her Supreme Store Card.

"The cultivation art is yours now," Aakesh stated after getting the mechanical alert of a successful payment.

The next moment, the page disappeared, while the virtual book began to materialize and soon became physical.

"You can't sell it or use it for monetary purposes," Aakesh warned Tira after the sale. The cultivation arts bought from the store couldn't be used to earn credits or any family currency by the user.

After buying the Thousand Blossoms Art, Tira decided to leave the store and return the next day. She wanted to check the weapons and the training area, but the urge to implement the processes detailed in the cultivation art won over that. As for the cultivation art for the beast, she couldn't buy it. The store didn't sell cultivation art to beasts purchased from the store since it would mean the owner had an additional cultivation art.

The area around Thorr City wasn't very good for cultivation, so Tira immediately left for the most resource-rich area on the planet, the Fortis Empire.

The Kingdom and an Empire were separated by a single, wide chasm. On the planet Curiel, the True God ruled the Kingdom, whereas the Lesser God ruled an Empire.

The Fortis Empire was the most powerful force on the planet, with two Lesser Gods and seven True Gods in its midst. After leaving the store, Tira immediately went there.

Tira's cultivation was only an intermediate Lesser God, while the ruler of the Fortis Empire was a peak Lesser God. But since she knew the man, Tira didn't have to worry about him.

"Tira, what are you doing here?" Emperor Custack personally came to welcome Tira when he found out about her presence.

Even though he had higher cultivation, he knew about Resons due to his connections with the Wheat-Spotted Demons.

So, he didn't dare act arrogantly against the granddaughter of Reson's ruler. At the same time, he also personally knew her. Around a few hundred years ago, Tira had come to meet them and even lived with the royal family for a few days, learning about their culture.

"I need a silent place to cultivate," Tira didn't beat around the bush and immediately stated her purpose for coming here.

Custack didn't dare neglect Tira and took her to his personal cultivation site. It was the most energy-abundant area on the planet.

Custack wanted to exchange a few pointers with Tira like in the past, but she was in a hurry, so she thanked Custack and asked him to leave her alone for some time.

Custack had no choice but to leave. At the same time, he ordered his chefs to prepare the best dishes and announced a banquet event, ordering the guards to invite the seven True Gods and their talented direct descendants.

After Custack left, Tira began to take some items out of her inner world. Since there were many items her inner world couldn't hold, she also carried a space ring. The next moment, a mountain of valuable items appeared in the cave.

Tira didn't waste any time and began to set an array. After it was complete, the area where she was became isolated from the real world. Unless a Supreme God intervened, no one would know what was happening here.

After setting up the isolation array, she set up another one to increase the already abundant energy in the atmosphere. The next moment, three supreme Sacred stones turned into dust while an energy vortex appeared in the area. In no time, the cave became several times richer in energy.

Tira then took a deep breath and sat on the ground in a meditative pose. She closed her eyes, and not long after, her inner world came out of her body and began to rotate.

The abundant energy in the area, instead of enhancing the world, slowly began to corrode it. A pained expression appeared on Tira's face as a wave of excruciating pain hit her.

The inner world was the core of the cultivators in the Sacred Dimension, so any damage to it was equal to damaging the cultivation. Since she had already taken out all the valuable items, Tira didn't have to worry about the destruction of the inner world.

As for the lives inside the world, she had grown indifferent to it.

Time flew by, and around an hour after, the inner world stopped rotating, and in place of it was left a damaged core, while Tira had her veins popped out.

At that moment, Tira had destroyed her foundation. She was no longer a Lesser God. At that time, she was even weaker than an early Divine Transformation cultivator.

The process had only started, as it was now time to follow through on the concepts detailed in the Thousand Blossoms Art.

The next moment, the book lying on the pile of her treasure, suddenly floated up and its pages began to turn automatically. Soon, it stopped on the second page, detailing the movements required to cultivate the petal.

Time flew by, and after what felt like an eternity of excruciating torture, a petal finally formed in her sea of consciousness. It was a petal signifying energy since after the damage to her inner world, she had lost any source of energy.

Time flew by, and soon, Tira formed the other two petals. The next moment, an energy vortex appeared above her head and began to absorb the energy from the surroundings.

Tira's face slowly relaxed as the pain became bearable, and soon it disappeared. It was now time for the last step to initiate her cultivation using cultivation art. If she failed, it would all be for naught, and her inner world would explode, taking away her life with it.

Tira took a deep breath and decided to begin. There was no turning back now.
