Chapter 3: Sky Wolf Divine Formula
Endless darkness. All encompassing silence. As if the world itself was mute. He felt warm, but yet cold. He felt heavy, but light as if he was a mountain and a feather at the same time. He was blind, yet saw everything. He was blank, yet comprehended all. He felt as if his body was tearing apart, yet a comfortable sensation spread through all of his organs, muscles, bones, cells. He was ancient, but youthful at the same moment. All of his world was in chaos, full of contradictions. After what felt like centuries, or even eons, Marrick finally opened his eyes. It was, as if a sunshine fell into a endless abyss. In the darkness of Universe a smal green glow appeared.
Marrick's irises were glowing faintly, illuminating his face, giving it a mysterious, unfathomable vibe, no one would be able to resist. He started looking around trying his best to understand what was happening. Only after a couple of moments did he remember what happened.
"So I am dead huh? Sigh.. disappointing, and it had to happen after I started to get used to life in wilderness. Well, but now what do I do? Float in nothingness for eternity?"
When he started to ponder how to get out of this strange place and find himself something to do, he heard a beautiful voice. It seemed to be calling him. It was mesmerizing, fascinating, alluring. Not being able to suppress this sudden urge to see which heavenly being could posses such voice, he instinctively willed himself to move forward, towards the place from which the Voice was calling to him. After what he thought as hours what could be days, weeks, or even just minutes he finally saw something new in this space. Not too far ahead was a green jade altar. In the altar there sat the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. When he saw her a sudden feeling of familiarity hit him. Not knowing why he could feel a stron motherly feeling from the woman. He was baffled, confused, startled, he started slowly drifting towards the altar.
"Uhm, hello? I am sorry, beautiful lady, may I know where I am? Who you are, and why am I here?
The woman didn't respond for a long while. When he was waiting for some answers, he started inspecting the woman up close. Her skin was as white as milk, her silky jet black hair danced in the air as if swaying in the wind, even though there was none. Her long eyelashes that could cover the world and brows so sharp that they could slash the void. Her cheeks soft and moist, her figure that would cause countless males to drool over her. Her voluptuous body inviting others to ravish her. Perky bottom, and full chest, a heavenly beauty indeed.
When he was getting more, and more mesmerized and felt as if he would lose his soul the very moment, the woman finally opened her eyes. The were otherworldly. Dark green that could draw the souls of anyone that stared in them for too long.
"You are finally here Marrick"
"You know my name" the boy asked in bewilderment
"Yes, you can say that I know you the best"
"Why is that, I don't think we have ever met?"
"Ooooooh, huh, huh, of course we have met. In the end I am your mom! Hehe"
"Whaa-, that can't be. My parents died when I was two. Besides my mom was never so beautiful as you. You must e lying. Right, right!"
"Hmm, so you don't believe me? Then tell me who else besides me could give birth to such a handsome young man as you? Hmmm?"
"B-but, but I was all alone, my mother and dad were killed by some bandits during robbery. How can you be my mom?" Asked Marrick more and more startled.
"Oh my son. Believe me such ants couldn't even touch your parents not talking about killing us."
"Then why have you left me. I was all alone. I was hungry, lonely, sad. And you just left? Why? How could you do that to me? Do you not love me anymore. Is it because I asked for too much food? Then I wont eat anything anymore. Just come back with dad!"
"Oh, sweetie listen. It is not because you asked for food. Don't be silly. It is just that dad is now taking care of some dangerous things so he cannot come to see you. And although I am here, I can't be with you with my body. But don't worry, I will be always here in your sleep. Ok?"
"But..." Seeing genuine sadness in the eyes of his mother, he didn't pursue the matter anymore and decided to change the topic. "Then what do I have to do now mom. I don't want to be alone. I want to be with you."
"Don't worry Ricky. I will be with you in your dreams. And there really is a way for you to come to us and e together with us." (Ricky- a pet name of Marrick if you don't get it)
"Really?! What is it. I will do everything to be with you."
"But it is not easy honey. And can be incredibly dangerous. Are you sure you don't want to wait till we end our matters here and go get you?"
"No way. I don't want to wait for so long, quickly tell me, what can I do to be with you!"
"Ok son. The only way is to get stronger. So strong that no one can stop you from coming to us. Do you understand? It is really arduous task. Are you sure you can handle it?"
"Of course, but how do I get stronger? Mother, quickly tell me"
"The only way is to start cultivation. You must be diligent, strive to survive in this world and defeat stronger and stronger opponents."
"Then tell me. How do I cultivate?"
"Good, good. Good son. Here take this. This manual is perfect for you. Read it carefully and do everything as written in it"
Saying this, she waved her slender arm and with a flash of light a small booklet appeared floating in midair. Taking it with excitement, he quickly run through the pages. There were many different pictures of a lot of strange stances. Every one of them had a description beneath them. He closed it and once again looked at the cover. It was inlaid with golden threads. At the middle there was a lifelike illustration of the divine wolf. Underneath it there were golden letters. Thankfully. His parents learned him how to read before he was two so he was able to read it. Sky Wolf Divine Formula. It looked majestic and mysterious. He looked at his mother and asked.
"Mom so if I do everything as recorded in this, I will be able to come to you, and see dad?"
"Exactly, now you will have to take it stance after stance. Only when you mastered one stance, can you go to the next one. Understood? Also, you will certainly know when you mastered the previous stance. When you feel as if all weight disappeared fro your body, and you hear thundering sound of something breaking in your body, that means you have mastered this stance. Also, never, never show it to anyone. Even if you were to seem me. Never show it, nor teach how to cultivate it anyone. It is really important. Do you understand?" Seeing how serious his mother was, he grew solemn, nodding his head, and vowing in his heart to never show it to anyone.
"Good. Now com use the firs stance and absorb the Qi in the surroundings in to your body as it is described in the book."
Hearing this he sat on the flor and started studying the first stance in the book. It consisted of going on all fours, and stretching your back in a deep bow, as if a wolf readying for pounce. Then circulating the surrounding Qi through his body in a unique and strange, yet somewhat familiar pattern. When he started, Marrick closed his eyes and become oblivious to everything around. He felt as if this pattern was ingrained in his soul. As if he did it for centuries. Seeing his state, his mothers eyes become round with astonishment. After a while a beautiful smile blossomed on her face.
"Enlightenment. He actually entered enlightenment state straight away. Truly, an Innate Ancestor Soul indeed. If so, let me help you a bit." Saying this she started drawing the Qi in the surroundings at an astonishing pace, and transferring all of it to the youths body. In his mind Marrick suddenly felt an incredible amount of Qi entering his body. Not dallying any further he started absorbing all of it with the method described in the book.
Slowly the Qi in his body started taking the shape of a wolf ready to pounce. And when it became fully clear, he suddenly felt as if all weight was taken away from him. And then he heard a thunderous BOOM in his head accompanying with a wave of indescribable comfort running all over his body. After all of it ceased he slowly opened his eyes and saw his mother's face smiling at him. He stood up and looked at his body. It was all in some sticky and smelly stuff.
"Good you broke through your mortal shell and entered the world of cultivators. As of now you are at the First Layer of Body Strengthening Stage. It is just the start so don't get arrogant, ok?
"Yes, I will do my best."
"Ok, you must go now. Oh and be a gentleman and properly say Hi ok?
"What do you mea..." Before Marrick could end he suddenly blacked out.
When he opened his eyes again he instantly understood what his mother meant.
.................
In the black space, on a seat in the altar, beautiful silhouette was muttering to itself.
"I hope you can get stronger quickly, my son. The wolfs have set off for their hunt..."
