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.'
The system replied,
[Of course, the Chaos Body Refinement technique is better, it is the best foundational technique in existence after all, how can the shitty techniques of this Desolate Continent even be compared with it.]
At the end of its word, the system held a hint of contempt in its voice when it addressed the foundation building technique of the Desolate Continent.
Shen Yuan ignored the contemptuous voice of the system and focused on trying to learn the Chaos Body Forging technique, before this he didn't have time to learn it, but when he looked at the content of the technique in his mind, he was able to understand everything at first glance, as if he has learned it before.
This confused him greatly as he consulted with the system, 'Hey system, why do I feel that I have learned this technique before?'
The system replied in the same tone,
[When the host gets a technique from the system he automatically understands the whole technique, and only practicing it remains.]
Shen Yuan was relieved to hear that as he thought, 'Good with this whatever technique I get from the system, I only need to practice it instead of comprehending the entirety of the technique like others. I can start the breathing exercise even at this moment, alright let's do it since there are only mom and aunts here then I don't need to keep some things secret with them.'
Shen Yuan breathed deeply as he began his training, he sat down crossed-legged to practice the breathing form a bit before he truly began his training. These foundational techniques did not focus on gathering qi but instead, they try to maximize the potential of the human body.
So the Chaos Body Forging Technique was going to basically keep Shen Yuan at maximum potential the whole time he trained. As he got the hang of the breathing technique, he stood up and began his training, he did all the various poses inscribed in the technique.
Shen Yuxin, Huo Rong, and Bing Rong noticed that what he was training with was not the technique that Bing Rong gave to him seeing this, Bing Rong was about to move forward to instruct him but Shen Yuxin stopped her and sent her and Huo Rong a voice transmission, 'Don't interfere in his training, the technique might be different than the one we gave him but it is only better than it and not worse. So let him cultivate at will.'
Huo Rong and Bing Rong got confused wondering where he got such a technique from that it was even better than one of the best techniques in all of Desolate Continent, but they were smart enough not to ask about it and just kept looking at him with pride.
After all, they were the ones who watched him grow up and now he was even learning a foundational technique that was stated to be even better than the top technique known to Desolate Continent.
Time continued to pass as Shen Yuan was cultivating for nearly one hour non-stop, most normal cultivators couldn't continue their training for 3 minutes on their first try, but from the looks of it, Shen Yuan didn't have any problem continuing even further.
Shen Yuxin and the others were both worried and proud of him, and just as Shen Yuxin was about to interrupt his training due to it being so long, they heard a low hum as Shen Yuan broke through his cultivation reaching the second level, Flesh Training.
Shen Yuan took a deep breath as he stopped his training and stood straight, looking at his mother with happiness as he went near her and said excitedly as if asking for praise, "Mom, I reached the second level of Body Forging Realm!!"
Shen Yuxin gently patted his head as she saw how excited he was, but she wrinkled her nose slightly due to the bad smell as she said, "Alright, go take a bath. Since you broke through the body refinement stage your body discharged waste from it."
Shen Yuan got embarrassed after looking at his mother and aunts evading him as he hurriedly ran towards the bathroom. Shen Yuxin shook his head as she laughed lightly. Huo Rong and Bing Rong were also laughing softly looking at the awkward expression of Shen Yuan.
But Huo Rong then spoke, "Yuan'er reached the second level in 1 hour, directly skipping the step of awakening his hidden strength." Her voice was filled with amazement as she mentioned it.
Bing Rong also nodded her head in agreement as she continued where her sister left off, "Indeed, most people took nearly a month to three months to achieve what the young master has achieved in an hour. It really makes one speechless after looking at it."
Shen Yuxin smiled proudly hearing both of them praising her son, but she looked at them sternly as she warned them, "What happened yesterday and today, don't let another soul know about it. We can't risk exposing Yuan'er to all the forces of Central Desolate so soon. He still needs time to grow up and stand on his own against the Supreme geniuses of this world."
Huo Rong and Bing Rong nodded their heads as if chickens pecking on rice. After All, they were not stupid enough to expose their dear nephew to the outside world like this.
Shen Yuxin also heaved a sigh as she thought of the future, but more than that she was worried about how Shen Yuan would face the unparalleled geniuses on his way to the top.
As Shen Yuxin was busy in her thoughts Huo Rong spoke up as she had a mischievous smile on her face, "Big Sis, I will go and wash up Shen Yuan."
Before Shen Yuxin could say anything she already run away from there, Bing Rong felt her eye twitch as she just sighed and didn't say anything. After all, she knew how her sister behaved so it was impossible to stop her antics, she just sighed and also left to do her work.
Shen Yuxin also didn't say anything as she knew Shen Yuan can take care of himself and he was not a mere child. She smiled slightly as she thought, 'Oh Huo Rong, don't burn yourself in the flame that you are setting ablaze.'
