I glared at the stone artifact as though it was bringing me towards it, emanating an energy I"ve never felt before. As I crawled towards it, I made out it"s shape to be about 2 inches thick, and about 2 feet tall and a foot wide, it had strange encryptions on it only drawing me towards it to discover more, as I crawled, more and more, I felt warmer, as if the pain was fleeting and my body was healing. Finally as I was crawling for a couple minutes, I reached the tablet, all the energy came to a halt, as I was confused, I went to touch the strange tablet and than, at instant contact there was a large reaction.BOOM!
A sudden light exploded from the tablet and out the ravine, lighting up the night sky in a pure white colour disappearing a few seconds after it appeared. When I opened my eyes, the stone tablet was gone, confused, I summoned my broken light spirit to at least be able to see the area, although when I did, there was a strong ray of light , far stronger than a light spirit should give off, I turned behind me to see what was there and I was astonished.
"The tablet became my martial spirit? And my wounds? They"re… fine now?" I was confused, how could something this ancient be able to become my martial spirit? Where did it come from? What benefit do I gain from this? All these questions were useless for now, so I got up as my body was healed and I was good to go. Although as soon as I got up my head was filled With a piercing pain, and memories I never had came flooding into my head, knowledge I never knew existed, strange plant and their uses, even realms stronger than a martial master, but most importantly, how to Strengthen a bone frame and spirit.
After I woke up, everything felt different, I felt taller, and my hair that was once brown has turned black, and it grew longer than at my shoulders.
"What happened? Why am I so different?" I wondered to myself.
"That"s because it"s been 100 years, your dantian and bone frame were shattered I had to heal you with the little power I have awakened from you" a voice randomly rattled inside my head.

"Wh-Who are you???" I shouted.
"I am the divine cultivation stone, I cannot say much, but I shall show you where some rare artifacts are in a certain area, awaken me once you have completed them…" the stone said as its voice slowly fleeted away.
"Wait!! Come back! Why me! Why has no one found you yet!!!" I shouted.
The voice did not reply, but an area on the stone lit up, fl.u.s.tered, I examined the stone and saw that it was the golden divine continent, and it lit up the northernmost country which was covered in different coloured dots, right next to the country I"m in.
"how did it mimic the landscape?" I asked myself as it slowly vanished away. "Oh well, might as well find an exit since I"m healed"
After a few hours of roaming I decided to look through the memories I"ve gained, most of them were about how to handle herbs and what their uses and attributes are, but there were three things that really stood out to me, upgrading the bone frames and martial spirit, but there was one thing I found truly unique, runes, they were shown as something that can be protective, an enhancement or even used as a barrier.
I spent most of my time studying these runes and spent a little on studying bone frames and martial spirit, with runes I discovered that I need different herbs and a soul brush, which can transfer energy into the ink made from herbs to make an effective rune, meanwhile I discovered specific fruits and items that can actually be absorbed to upgrade both bone frames and spirits at the same time.
After another hour of searching I finally found and exit, it was an extremely steep hill with a rocky surface, hard to climb for someone who lost their cultivation. I decided it would be good to at least reach body building 1st stage before I begin climbing. I sat down an began to meditate a technique I learnt from the stone tablet called the seven essence absorption technique which gets stronger the more essence absorbed such as the essence of the sun and moon. After a few hours, my dantian finally had a reaction, and I achieved body building 1st layer.
"what? But the last time I tried it took a whole day! This technique is truly amazing!" I exclaimed as I began to climb out of the ravine. The ravine was at least a hundred metres deep and took an hour to climb. As soon as I made it out, it just became dawn, the resonating sun slowly lighting the world. Suddenly my dantian started shaking, I absorbed the essence of the sun?
"How is this possible? I thought I had to practice for a long time to absorb this, I just had to wait till dawn? All of these essences are supposed to double the speed needed to cultivate! Does that mean as soon as it"s dusk, I"ll get moon essence?" I wondered. "Ah well, I guess I"ll go try and find the city"
As I climbed to the top of the mountain and scouted out a city, I noticed that the city was… enormous, it grew almost 10 times the size in only 100 years! Cultivation shouldn"t be able to do that so quickly! How far has cultivation truly evolved in the time I was healing? I checked on the memories from the stone to see if there was any information how the world has evolved.
"1000 years of effort into 100?" I was shocked. There has never been anything like this!
