Chapter 30: Chapter 30-A Gamble

"Haaaa...."

Xiao exhaled as his eyes opened up. His black eyes, tinged with a hint of white, focused on the opponent in front of him. Xiao tightened his grip on his sword. He was currently practicing in the Yun family's training room, facing a 14-year-old child who also wielded a sword.

The world he was in was an illusion with a touch of reality. Here, he could fight against different foes to improve his mastery over various techniques. This privilege was only granted to the geniuses of the family. Despite not being favored by his father, Xiao was still considered a "genius" and provided with the basic necessities.

Without wasting any time, Xiao's chosen opponent quickly lunged forward, slashing his sword toward Xiao's neck. Calmly, Xiao lifted his sword and parried the attack. The opponent scoffed, and his sword lit up in a silver hue as he waved it with precision, producing several sword winds that rushed towards Xiao.

Observing this, Xiao's sword also lit up in a silver hue as he mirrored his opponent's movements. However, Xiao's skill in the technique surpassed his opponent's. In a matter of seconds, several sword wind slashes erupted from Xiao's sword, overpowering his opponent's technique and defeating him effortlessly.

Xiao sighed, realizing that all the opponents he faced could be defeated with a single move. Yet, there was no trace of arrogance in his eyes. He had no reason to rejoice in defeating these weaker opponents, especially when he knew that there are monstrous geniuses in the same generation as him.

'This is no longer useful for me,' Xiao thought. It had been a few weeks since the incident with his engagement, and life had been a mix of increasing his cultivation, spending time with Xuanyin, Yun Yurou, and Li Lun, where Li Lun kept visiting him whenever she had free time.

Li Lun seemed to be getting closer to him, and Yun Yurou appeared to have returned to normal. She often sparred with him since they shared the same element, but Xiao noticed her strange gazes whenever they were with Li Lun. It was unsettling.

Xuanyin, on the other hand, showed signs of jealousy when other girls were around. Xiao found it endearing and interpreted it as the jealousy of a cute little sister. After all, she was only seven years old. So, to say things out, the past three weeks had been entertaining, to say the least.

However, troubles were on the horizon. In a few months, Li Lun would turn 10 and experience a life-altering event that would cause her to lose her ability to walk and her sight. Xiao felt powerless in the face of this impending disaster, but he was determined to support her.

Yet, he had another issue to address—Xuanyin's increasing bursts of coldness. The cold blasts from her body grew stronger and colder by the day. If it weren't for Xiao's cultivation reaching the 7th level of the Body Refinement realm, he might have frozen to death even while enduring just half of the coldness.

Xiao realized the extent of his sister's suffering and understood why she had always been so cold. It saddened him. He had to obtain the Samsara Primordius Famine, a heaven and earth origin treasure ranked within the top 10 of all naturally made treasures. Its power was awe-inspiring, its awe-inspiring properties have the potential to astound and elevate one's abilities.

This treasure possesses the unique ability to tap into the power of samsara, the cycle of birth and death, to unlock hidden potential within an individual. It can delve into the depths of one's soul, awakening latent talent that may have remained dormant otherwise. The Samsara Primordius Famine has the power to shatter limitations and expand the boundaries of one's cultivation.

Moreover, this treasure grants the user a profound understanding of the primordial forces that govern the universe. It imparts ancient knowledge and insights, unraveling the mysteries of the cosmos and providing a deeper comprehension of the fundamental principles underlying cultivation.

One of its most astounding attributes is its ability to liberate individuals from the shackles of fate. The Samsara Primordius Famine can break the chains that bind one's potential, enabling them to surpass their predetermined limitations and achieve unparalleled growth. It offers a pathway to transcendence, elevating ordinary cultivators into extraordinary beings.

Additionally, this treasure bestows the gift of serendipity upon its wielder. Fortuitous encounters and extraordinary opportunities become intertwined with their cultivation journey, leading to unexpected breakthroughs and astonishing advancements. It is as if the universe conspires to provide them with the resources and support needed to reach new heights.

The Samsara Primordius Famine holds the power to alter destiny, rewrite the laws of cultivation, and reshape the cosmic order. It is a catalyst for transformation and a key that unlocks the vast potential within every cultivator fortunate enough to possess it. With this treasure in hand, one's cultivation journey becomes an exhilarating odyssey of self-discovery and boundless growth.

One of its main functions is drawing out a person's latent bloodline and potential, channeling their deepest abilities. Additionally, it bestowed a powerful physique upon the user. Xiao had considered various scenarios and treasures, and this one seemed to be the answer.

Recalling that the treasure had been found and destroyed by someone in the past, Xiao knew he had to obtain it to change the fate of his sister and mother. Although he was greedy by nature, his family always took priority. This was their one and only chance for a better future.

While his sister would awaken naturally in due time, it would come at a great cost—she would lose her emotions and become an emotionless doll. Xiao could not bear to see her suffer such a fate. The only problem was that he was currently not strong enough to acquire the treasure. Going after it now would result in his easy demise.

Xiao set a limit of three years. When he turned 13, he would venture alone to find the treasure. He had no certainty of success, but he was willing to take the gamble to change the fate of his loved ones.

Chapter 31: Chapter 31-Path Forward

Months later....within the world of fire sat Xiao, torrents of high-temperature fire surrounded him as he sat cross-legged on the ground, all around him the color burned red, from the sky to the ground boiling into red, and the temperature in the surroundings sky high, any mortal man would die if he stayed within this same area for a few hours.

At certain intervals, a high-temperature wind would blast by but sitting in the middle of all of this Xiao was eerily calm, not a hint of pain or sweat could be seen on his face, a red flame similar in color to the world he was in floated beside Xiao.

And as if children finding their parents the elemental fire in the surroundings ran towards the flame, where it was transferred to Xiao's body, right now do to his low cultivation he's unable to access the flame Qi but hints of red color surrounded his body making him more eyes catching.

In the past year, Xiao has already turned 11 years old, and no major changes have taken place, his figure grew a bit taller, his face too seemed to grow a bit more pronounced, and his white and black hair grew in length as it was tied to a ponytail

The aura of {Connection} stayed passively active as it gave others a good impression of him, over all he looked like a doll that one would want to keep for themselves, his looks only seemed to be more defined and attractive as time went by, and this was mainly because of the cultivation technique that Xiao practice.

The grade of the cultivation was unknown to him but the cultivation technique Omega Asura's wrath, it not only gives him power but it also passively removes all impurities and imperfection making its user 'perfect' burning away things that the cultivation technique itself deems unworthy to keep, the 11 flames of beginning would make sure that its user would be extraordinary in all the way possible.

Of course, cultivating improves one's look but the Omega Asura's Wrath would slowly make the person to look at his absolute perfect form, not only that it would give off the feeling of a ruler of fire, as the person who practices it reaches higher levels, Xiao doesn't know it yet but he would find it out in the future.

To others, it might be a blessing but to Xiao who doesn't care about his looks, it's just a hassle, right now wherever he goes he causes everybody to turn their heads towards him, even rumors had spread about his looks, earning him the title of the 'cutest doll', not something which Xiao wanted to be associated with.

He also had to deal with the shinning eyes of several younger girls who looked at him but for some reason his good looks only seemed to make the three girls that hung around with him wary, talking in that regard he, the one he made most progress would be Li Lun, the time they spent together was long, hence he could see that she has a small or maybe a large crush on him.

Well, it became quite apparent now as she smiled and blushed whenever he looked at her, moreover, it was hard to avoid it when she always giggled and smiled when the talk of engagement showed up, shaking his head Xiao stopped his cultivation, as the red flame that was floating above his flashed and entered his body.

"Sigh....."

Xiao sighed out, letting out a hot stream from his mouth, his eyes opened as he stood up from the ground, and he looked at his hand as he clenched and unclenched them.

"It looks like I would need to venture out soon..."

Xiao mumbled to himself, While having a powerful cultivating technique is good and all, having the resources to cultivate is another issue, the amount of resources needed for his technique is mind-blowing, if it wasn't for his knowledge about the future, then Xiao would have definitely abandoned it.

'Small sacrifices for the greater power, I guess.....'

Xiao could only console himself like this. This is also one of the major reasons that many haven't risen above the truly powerful, so what if you have a powerful technique? what's the use if you don't have the resources to use it? most of the powerful resources are controlled by the truly powerful after all.

Lamenting to himself, Xiao exited his training room, with light steps he walked to his room but as he reached it he was met with an anxious servant waiting outside, seeing him the servant's face scrunched up, and hesitation filled his face but in the end, he seemed to have made his decision as he walked up to Xiao and bowed.

"Young master! there's terrible news!"

"What's it?"

Xiao asked calmly as he looked at the fearful servant. Hearing Xiao's question, the servant took a few gulps before he spoke.

"It's the young mistress L-Li Lun!, something terrible has happened to her during her awakening!"

After he finished speaking the servant closed his eyes awaiting Xiao's outburst, it was known across everywhere that Xiao was normally the calm and silent type, he didn't distinguish between anybody nor did he go out of his way to hurt anybody.

But there's a single thing that many agree on, it's to never mess with anybody Xiao cares about, about a month ago someone from a distant family visited, and among them a boy accidentally met Xuanyin, some kind of friction caused between them causing the 12-year-old boy to use his cultivation and hit her, causing some serious injuries to her.

At that time the first one was to arrive was Xiao, it was only a few minutes later did the others arrived, and when they did, they were met with a horrible sight, it was the sight of the boy being dangled upside down with his dress while he was completely naked.

That was not all, all the fingernails on his hands and legs were ripped off, and sword marks and gashes filled his body, blood had dyed the kid's body, and even then he was still being tortured by Xiao, it was a sight that many would not forget and it was the day that some learned the ruthlessness of an 11-year-old boy…

It was suffice to say that Xiao was punished but from then on, no one would dare to slight anyone that Xiao cared about and many knew that Li Lun was Xiao's fiancée and it was no hidden fact that he was in favor of her, so the servant waited, waited for Xiao's outburst but after a few seconds nothing happened causing him to look at Xiao, meeting his calm eyes.

"Is that all?"

Xiao asked the servant.

"Y-Yes young master"

"I see, then you may leave."

Saying so the servant hurried off with a confused face, seeing the servant leave, Xiao with a calm face started to move away from his room as he walked to the family meeting room, just as he had reached closer he could hear the enraged voice of his mother.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT YOU WON'T CANCEL THE ENGAGEMENT?"

Hearing his mother's shout, Xiao sighed again.

'Sigh.....why are things so hard?...'
