Chapter 17: Shen Yuan's Past

A strange essence was leaking in Shen Yuan's Sea of Consciousness, nearly manifesting in the Bloodline Avatar that was here previously, but before the avatar could be fully formed, the system replied as if afraid that something unfavorable would happen.

But its tone of voice was still robotic and uncaring as if nothing was happening in Shen Yuan's Sea of Consciousness just now,

[Host need not worry for his family from his past life for now, they are still alive and living in your old world, Host can't reach that place as it is outside your current world in another plane altogether, host needs to reach the apex level of this world first before host can think about searching for his family again.]

Shen Yuan calmed down as well and the avatar of his bloodline also vanished from his sea of consciousness as he listened to the system explanation, his expression still hard as he considered his current situation, but he thought about something as he asked, 'What about the time difference between this world and my old world?'

[Host's previous world is in a special condition, merging with another world so the time dilation fluctuates anywhere from 2 times slower to 10 times slower or more, so 1 year in your previous world can be 2 years or 10 years in your current world, or it might even be higher depending on your previous world's situation.]

Shen Yuan took a moment to contemplate what the system said, he understood that he had plenty of time to go back to his old world, and he visibly heaved a sigh of relief as he got the confirmation of his mother's and sister's safety, but due to his sudden sigh of relief Shen Yuxin also woke up.

Shen Yuxin's eyes fluttered open as she looked below to see Shen Yuan lying down with closed eyes in her embrace; she smiled sweetly as she saw that he was already awake but didn't make noise so she could sleep peacefully. 

She hugged him tightly as she spoke with a gentle tone, "Have you woken up Yuan'er?"

Yuan pulled back his face from her bosom as he smiled and replied in a happy tone, "Good morning, Mom. I woke up a while ago"

Shen Yuxin patted his head affectionately and asked, "You seem to be lost in thought, do you have some problem with something?"

Shen Yuan considered for a moment and made up his mind to talk about his past life with his mother, he didn't want to deceive her any longer.

"Mom, there is something I want to tell you." Shen Yuan began, his voice was steady with a hint of nervousness in it. He was worrying what Shen Yuxin would think of him, would she think that he deceived her for so long?

Shen Yuxin got serious as she heard the gravity of her son's voice, she gently patted his head and asked, "What is it Yuan'er? Just tell your mom, you can tell me anything you want."

She then fell silent, waiting for her son to muster up the courage to tell her whatever he would say.

Shen Yuan took a deep breath while considering what to say before he started talking, "I am a reincarnated being. Before I was born in this world, I was living in a world called Earth, I was an ordinary mortal, there was no such thing as Qi or cultivators in my previous world. I only have my mother and sister as my family,

He continued to talk about his past life with Shen Yuxin, who was listening attentively without interrupting him. He talked about his childhood, his hardships, and even the anime and novels that he used to watch and read.

As he reached the final moments of his last life when he died mysteriously Shen Yuxin hugged him closer. Shen Yuan took a shaky breath, the emotions of his past life still present even with the passage of time, "After I left from my work I died mysteriously, I don't even know how I died back then. Then the next thing I saw was you holding me as a baby."

Shen Yuan got silent as he spoke up to this point, waiting for his mom to digest what he said till now, Shen Yuxin gently stroked his hair, she still had that soft smile as she spoke gently, "I had my suspicions that you were a reincarnated person after all, no normal child is as smart and sensible as you."

"Even in this Desolate Continent, there are many legends of reincarnated cultivators so you don't have to worry about how I would treat you, and even in your last life when you were only 20 years old, you are still a child to me."

Shen Yuan visibly relaxed as he heard Shen Yuxin's words. He smiled lightly as he hugged Shen Yuxin tightly, Shen Yuxin smiled gently as she patted his head.

They stayed like that for a few more minutes as Shen Yuxin said, "Let's go eat breakfast or else both of your aunts would make fun of you for sleeping till so late."

Shen Yuan laughed lightly as he felt normal again after all that long talk at the mention of his aunts, "Alright, let's go eat breakfast now before they start teasing me."

They got up and made their way toward the dining hall, where both Huo Rong and Bing Rong were waiting for them while readying the food, setting up the table, etc.

"Good Morning Yuan'er," Bing Rong greeted Shen Yuan as he walked into the dining hall, she continued with a slightly cheerful tone, "You finally decided to join us."

Huo Rong also joined in the fun as she spoke, "We were starting to wonder if you were planning to sleep all day today."

Shen Yuan scratched the back of his head at their teasing as he just went to sit on his chair while ignoring their teasing words, he continued, "Good morning, Aunt Huo, Aunt Bing. I had a long discussion about myself with my Mom, that's why I was late. Now let's start eating before the food goes cold."


Chapter 18: Training Begins

They all sat down to enjoy the warm breakfast, the atmosphere was filled with laughter and light-hearted conversation without mentioning what happened yesterday. Shen Yuan felt a little uncomfortable when he thought that he hadn't yet shared his past with his aunts.

He decided to talk with them later about it, for now, he focused on eating food with his family.

After breakfast, Shen Yuan decided it was time to start training, he stood up from the dining table and looked at his mother and aunts with determination, "Mom, Aunt Huo, Aunt Bing, I want to learn more about cultivation and start my training from today, as you have said after I finish my awakening ritual you will tell me more about it as well teach me about it."

Shen Yuxin also got serious as she heard Shen Yuan's words as she spoke, "It is time for me to tell you why I didn't speak about all this stuff before and didn't let you acquire the knowledge of the cultivation world."

Shen Yuxin also slowly stood up as she walked ahead and spoke, "Yuan'er, follow me to the training room and both of you as well." She also called Huo Rong and Bing Rong to go to the training room with her. Shen Yuan, Huo Rong, and Bing Rong followed after Shen Yuxin.

Shen Yuan was lost in his thoughts about the future as all of them reached the training room, Shen Yuxin pushed open the doors of the training room as all of them entered it. Inside was a vast field with an even ground, the ground stretching for as far as the eyes could see.

Shen Yuan's eyes widened in amazement as he took in the sight of the training room. It was almost like the same place as where he went through his Awakening ritual. The room seemed to stretch infinitely, with the ground perfectly even with small green grass growing everywhere. There were wooden weapons of all types lying around for his training as well as a lot of other stuff, It was the perfect environment for his Body Forging Cultivation.

Shen Yuxin turned to face him after entering the training room or rather a training dimension, her expression serious yet gentle, "Yuan'er," she began, "the reason I didn't tell you about the cultivation world and the realms of cultivation was due to my fear." She paused after speaking for a bit.

Shen Yuan got confused, thinking about what her mother was fearing, but soon Shen Yuxin continued, "I feared what will happen if you couldn't activate your talent during the awakening ritual or if you were crippled since birth if you couldn't cultivate then I wanted for you to at least have a normal life without the influence of cultivators. That's why I didn't let you study about the cultivation world, realms, and other details."

Shen Yuxin finished her sentence in one breath and looked at Shen Yuan to see his reaction but Shen Yuan didn't react much as if he expected this much, Shen Yuxin heaved a sigh of relief as she continued,

"Cultivation is not just about gaining power through cultivation, it forges your will to be unbeatable since the higher you reach the more challenges you will face in the future. But since you have so much talent and you yourself want to begin your cultivation then we will start from today.

Shen Yuan nodded his small head in all seriousness, his eyes shining with faint excitement about gaining immeasurable powers, Huo Rong and Bing Rong giggled softly after seeing his expression, Shen Yuan spoke to his mother, "Yes, Mom. I am ready for my Body Forging training and to start walking on my path of cultivation."

Shen Yuxin smiled proudly after hearing his reply, "Very well, Let us begin your training."

She motioned for him to step forward, "The first level of the body forging realm is Strength Awakening is divided into two parts, the first part is when you go through the awakening ritual and step into this realm and the second is when after entering this realm you search inside your body and find the hidden potential in your body, Unlocking your latent strength."

Shen Yuan listened closely, afraid of missing a single detail. Shen Yuxin continued, "This step is very easy and most cultivators are able to do it in a week to a month, after you have successfully awakened your hidden strength, we will move on to Flesh Training."

"In this realm we will focus on enhancing your muscles and flesh, making them more resilient and powerful. You will undergo intense training and learn a breathing exercise to go along with your training so it can maximize the benefits of various treasures and your training."

At that moment Huo Rong stepped forward, holding a small vial containing a strange shimmering red liquid, "This is the Body Refinement Elixer," she explained. "It will help in building a strong foundation for your future path, it will restore your stamina and heal your wounds during your intense training."

Shen Yuan's eyes flashed as he looked at the Body Refinement Elixer as he already got it from the system, but to not arouse suspicion, he took it and thanked Huo Rong, "Thanks, Aunt Huo."

Bing Rong also approached at this moment, holding a scripture, "This is the Vital Essence Body Refinement scripture, this is one of the best foundational body refinement techniques in all of Desolate Continent, this is what Big Sis Yuxin told us before."

Shen Yuan's eyes revealed his surprise as he took the scripture and thanked Bing Rong, "Thanks, Aunt Bing Rong."

He hurriedly opened the scripture and started reading it, Huo Rong and Bing Rong smiled after seeing how excited and hasty he was, Shen Yuxin also smiled softly seeing how excited her son was towards cultivation.

Little did they know, Shen Yuan was actually comparing the breathing exercises of Vital Essence Body Refinement and Chaos Body Refinement techniques, what he found out astonished him so much that he spoke to THE system, "Hey system, why is there such a huge gap between the complexity of both techniques? The one given to me by Aunt Bing Rong is so simple compared to what I got from you.'
