Chapter 6: 6: Breakthrough?

'What should I do...and what hell is this pressure...it's even hard to breathe…..he wants to kill an 8-year-old kid?' Du Chan thought

"G-Greetings Sect Master" he said even with all the pressure.

'Tch. It's even hard to speak…'

Suddenly, the pressure disappeared and it became normal to behave casually again.

"I heard that you have a strange illness and that you will die this year?" after watching Du Chan for some time, he thought it appropriate and spoke.

"Y-Yes, sir" Du Chan said

"Hmm" the Sect Master pondered and disappeared into thin air.

'Wait….where did he disappear to...' He was shocked

Out of the blue, he felt that someone was touching his right hand….when he turned his head, he saw that the Sect Master had grabbed his wrist.

He couldn't move…

The sect master released his wrist after inspecting it and disappeared again.

'Tch. Why he is showing off his strength?' Du Chan thought

"You have a lot of yin essence inside your body and there is some strange qi inside your head. May I ask what technique you're cultivating?"

'HOLY SHIT! He must have found out that I cultivate the undying physique...' Du Chan was scared

"I-I don't know. When I was playing in the Eastern Mountains, an old man came to me and touched my forehead…he said that I have a unique body…" he explained

"Wow! He must be a Xiantian realm cultivator...you have survived until now thanks to him!" the Sect Master said, no doubt surfacing on his face.

'Well, it was half-true…. Wait. What does he mean by Xiantian Cultivator? Let's just ask him' Du Chan thought and asked:

"Sir. What do you mean by Xiantian Cultivator?"

"Huh? Those are the most powerful among humans. They have even surpassed the human limits…" he said that his tone leaning between respect and envy.

"That aside, do you know anything about cultivation and essence?"

"N-No sir" Du Chan said but inside his head, he was eager to learn

'Yes. That's it! I have waited seven years for this chance. Tell me about this world!'

Seeing the excited look in his eyes, the sect master smiled and went on with an explanation.

"This world is full of danger and treasures. And they only respect strength. If you're weak then you die or you should have shelter under the powerful people…."

"What's your name again?"

'Ahhhh!! Why the fuck did you stop in the middle of it.' So Chan thought and said: "It is Du Chan, sir"

"Hmm, Du Chan….what a strange name" he was fumbling with his chin. "Du Chan, do you want to practice martial arts?"

"Yes, sir" he said almost immediately without a second of thought.

'Of course, I want to practice, what kind of question was that?'

"Why do you want to practice martial arts?"

He eyed me with a suspicious gaze, attempting to discover Du Chan's intentions with his piercing eyes.

"I want to get strong and find a cure for the illness I have. I don't wish to see my aunt sad again"

This one is completely true.

"Good! Good" the Sect Master laughed wholeheartedly. "Do you know why people cultivate?"

"To gain strength…and to protect that of which are important to them?" Du Chan said

"And?" Sect master asked

'And what….I don't know.'

"...to increase their longevity. Or simply, to gain immortality!"

'Immortality…..can people become immortals in this world?' Du Chan thought

"Okay, we don't need to talk about that though. We are far from reaching it."

'Then why did you start it?' Du Chan thought

"Let's talk about the first five realms"

'Yes, yes. I need the basics first right now.'

"First, Body Training. In this realm, you train your body so it can store qi. It's very basic and important to have a good foundation for later cultivation. In this realm, your muscles and your skin will be trained.

Second, Qi Condensation. In this realm, you will let the heaven and earth energy (Qi) into your meridians and guide them inside your body. This realm makes people a little stronger than the ones at the body training realm.

From here onwards, the real cultivation starts when the Qi within your body reaches its limit and mixes itself with your blood.

The third, Blood Condensation. In this realm, you will strengthen your blood using Qi. Bloodlines have special grades that can help people boost their strength and increase their cultivation speed. If you have a low-grade bloodline, then it may take years to reach the next realm. You condense your blood and strengthen the vessels. At this stage your blood becomes infused with Qi, which automatically purifies it, allowing both to become more domineering, strengthening your physical body even further.

Fourth, Viscera Condensation. When your blood reaches the limit of its purity, the Qi starts strengthening the inner organs. And in this realm, one's combat level multiplies tenfold.

Fifth, Bone Forging. Cultivation at the Bone Forging stage revolves around tempering and forging your bones to make them harder, stronger, and more resilient, allowing them to store Qi as well. Unlike the previous cultivation realms which require you to open all your meridians, condense all your blood, and transform all your tendons, Bone Forging only requires you to temper one bone. Anything past that is optional. Tempering a bone requires a lot of time, effort, and resources, that's why most cultivators only temper a few bones before trying to attain the next realm. The Bone Forging realm was the one with the greatest combat difference, distinguishing between the weak and the strong. That was something that didn't have to do with the cultivation base, but with how many bones you had tempered.

Next, Soul Strengthening, Houtian, and the highest, Xiantian.

You don't need to know them for now since those are higher realms. You will get to know them eventually when you walk into the cultivation path" sect master explained

After all his explanation, seeing Du Chan listening so carefully made the Sect Master smile again.

'Okay. Now that I know about this, I will definitely become stronger than everyone….' He started to imagine

"Don't let your emotions take over you! This is just the beginning of cultivation. You will need many resources and even much more time for a better and faster progress" sect master interrupted his imagination

'Tch. Why I can't imagine? Let me fawn over the idea of me being at the top. I want to get stronger, rule over the world and sleep with countless heavenly beauties!' Du Chan was a little angry for interrupting him

the Sect Master kept looking at him even when he made an odd grimace through his imagination/

"Everyone in this world can cultivate because the Qi is very dense. But not everyone can reach the higher realms. That requires them to have talent. Without it, luck and hard work, you will not breakthrough through the 5th realm. Luck is very important when you cultivate too. At some point, if you don't have luck then you can't attack the next realm….

"Knock Knock"

Before the Sect master finished his teaching, someone came knocking on the door.

"Come in" the sect master allowed, sad to have been stripped of the teaching session.

A handsome man, dressed in a beautiful raiment walked in. He looked like a prince of a kingdom…

"Second Prince, what brought you here?" Sect master asked

'Haha, he really is a prince'

"Greetings sect master of the medical sect. I was just passing by this town when I heard you're here, so I thought of greeting you" the second prince bowed respectfully.

After greeting the man, he looked at Du Chan and His eyes brightened and followed with a smile.

'Why is he smiling at me? ….' Du Chan thought

"Sure" the sect master said with a smile and clapped his hands twice. "You are always welcome at my sect"

Four members came in.

"Let's talk about this later, Du Chan. You can take your leave now. Carry him back to his room" he said that and the four people immediately carried the bed.

"Very well, sir" Du Chan bowed

After saying that, he noticed that the prince was still smiling at me.

'No, no. What is he thinking?' He thought

Without question, he was made to leave the room.

Back at the sect master's room.

There, a table was set up, both the sect master and the second prince sat opposite of each other.

"Here. Have our medical sect's special tea"

The sect master poured some tea in a glass. The tea was crystal clear, like pure water. The second prince took that tea and asked.

"Who was that kid? I noticed he possessed so much yin essence in him!"

"As expected from Second Prince. Yes indeed, his whole body is filled with yin energy. I don't know how he survived till now with that much of it in his body. That amount should have already killed him by now"

"Interesting," the prince nodded while smiling.

"Then how did he survived till now, did you find any clues"

"I checked his whole body, but I couldn't find anything. But when I used my 'Eagle God Eye' I saw that there is a strange energy in his head. It was an extreme yang essence. I asked him who gave it to him but he said an old man touched his forehead" sect master said.

"Hmm...wait… that means...no...it can't be right. How can a Xiantian cultivator show up in this area?" the second prince said with fear and respect.

"...….." Sect Master was silent. "Okay, so may I know the main reason that second Prince has come here"

The second prince smiled and started to murmur. There was no sound coming out, and both of them began chatting like that.

...….

...….

Du Chan was carried back to the room and after dropping his bed, the four left. After they did, Gu auntie came in.

"Xiao Chan. How was the meeting with the sect master?" she smiled and asked curiously.

"He told me about this world and cultivation realms. Auntie, do you know them too?" Du Chan asked

"No, I don't know anything about them. If I did, I would have told you" auntie said

"Hmm"

If Auntie knew then she could have already told him!

After chatting for some time Gu Auntie left, leaving Du Chan alone.

2 days passed…

In a secluded room.

Two days had passed and his injuries were almost healed.

He sat in a lotus position and suddenly he felt that his strength acquired a leap.

"What is happening...why do I feel that I got stronger?" He thought

It's like he made a breakthrough…

"Wait…Omg, I had a breakthrough?"
