Chapter 2: Cultivation Starting from Grass
In the darkest place, a white ball floated while a blue orb followed.
The high pitched childish boy voice spoke in a serious tone.
<<Assembling data. The host has 0.001% chance to live as a human. 99.999% reincarnate as a grass.
System Modifying Data. Reporting to headquarter, Host has Universe Blessing. The host has completed first requirement to reincarnate. Please update the Data.>>
After few seconds, a female robotic voice replied. {Data has been updated, System please check again.}
<<Assembling data. The host has 1% chance to live as a human, 1% chance to reincarnate as a random organism, 98% chance to reincarnate as a grass.>> While reading the data laid in front of the white ball, it stopped moving and turned to face the blue orb behind it.
<<…>> He was silenced as it read the data.
The white ball curved its eyes and speaks awkwardly to the blue orb.
<<… I will just pray for the best, Host. Let's just try our best to survive.>>
<<System is processing… Host is now transferring into the next world.>>
...…
...
…
Such a refreshing breeze blew the grasses gently. Under the warm sunlight, every living thing flourished.
Under the greatest legendary Raven Oak Tree that only lives in Divine Forest, a single blade of silver grass bowed down to the earth depressingly.
A white ball floated around the silver grass and sweated as it spoke.
<<Lord Tian, please don't be discouraged. Didn't the Universe give you an ultimate protection? This lowly system will also be helping you, please don't give up! >>
The silver grass rise slowly as if wanted to say something but it slumped to the ground again and a high pitched youthful male voice murmured.
"… never mind me… let me die… let me just die… let those demonic cow or whatever demon beasts eat me to nourish their stomach."
<<Lord Tian~~~~~>> The white ball cried as it circled the grass.
As soon as the host awakened his consciousness, the system told the host to change his surname and name. The host changed his name to Tian Xuan. Tian means heaven and Xuan means to revolve.
At the moment, rather than revolve the heaven, he is going to need to evolve himself first!
As a grass, he could not see, hear, feel, speak or taste anything in the real world.
Currently, his soul appears to be silver-haired infant in blue orb. In the soul realm, he could see, hear and speak to the white ball. However, it doesn't change the fact that he is endangered!
The Universe promised to protect him until he forms his spirit and apparently, according to the system 080 that he named Tian Qiu [Heaven Ball], Tian Xuan is a rare type of medicinal plant.
The name is Sole Silver Grass Blade, a medicinal plant that can heal any physical wound when eaten regardless of the race of the eater. It is a heavenly tier ingredient to create a Saint tier pill called Yin Purifying.
He understood more or less what the ball explained but what made him frustrated even more is that even though heavenly tier is higher than saint tier, the ball explanation makes it as if becoming an ingredient for saint tier is a great thing to celebrate for.
As a punishment for not being reliable, Tian Xuan ordered Tian Qiu to call him Lord Tian.
It is an obvious waste to use a heavenly tier item to make only saint tier item!
He reprimanded Tian Qiu to make the system realize that fact. But then, he found out that not only Tian Qiu doesn't know anything and doesn't have anything to provide help, the system also needed to level up.
Everything that Tian Qiu knows came from the data sent by the headquarters of the system.
To level up and update the data, the system needs Tian Xuan to complete the quests that Universal System sent.
He truly doubted that he could rely on Tian Qiu at the moment. It would be fine if he could ask for help from Tian Qiu but he could not. Until the system level up, he will have to rely on himself.
Tian Xuan soon calmed down and regained his usual nonchalance.
"Explain the quest again to me."
Beads of water flew out of the ball eyes as it circled the silver grass. <<Lord Tian~~~>> The childlike boy voice cried in joy. If he has limbs surely it is going to hug the silver grass.
"The quest." Tian Xuan said in flat tone.
The ball stopped playing around and started explaining seriously.
<<Main Quest, Episode 1 of 'Road to cultivation' required host to sense the spiritual energy around and absorb them through the cultivation manual provided by the Universal System. Once Host entered the 1 Year, which is cultivation stage for Demonic Tribe, Host will be rewarded 10 Low Tier Spiritual Stone.
Please check system inventory to take out the cultivation manual. Host can open the system inventory, shop and bank speaking through mind.>>
Tian Xuan opened the system inventory and a blue window appeared in front of him. According toTian Qiu, only Tian Xuan and Tian Qiu can see the window.
There's only one item in the inventory and it's a book. Beside the title is the grade of the item.
[Primordial Demonic Qi Gathering Cultivation Technique] [Godly Tier]
<<Lord Tian, just by touching the cover, you will be absorbing all the information inside. I will be helping you understand the content.>>
"En." Tian Xuan replied shortly and touched the book cover. While in reality, it was as if he used the tip of the grass to touch the manual.
Like a vacuum, Tian Xuan brain absorbed all the information from the book and felt overwhelmed.
"Demonic is a path. Primordial age is the beginning of all live. It sure is complex to understand the context. What does it mean by absorbing the blue qi, separating the white, swallowing the black? Combining the black and the blue before swallowing the white? Tian Qiu, this manual is not a scam, right?"
<<Lord Tian, worry not for I, Tian Qiu the system will help you understand the content. Alright, follow exactly as I said …>>
The first step to sense the spiritual energy is important to know whether someone can be a martial cultivator or not. If they can't they will be common civilian and immortality is just a dream for them.
According to Tian Qiu, the data said that this world is indeed unfair. Not everything could cultivate. The reason why Tian Xuan can cultivate is that the Universe altered the data for him.
There are those that born as a genius cultivator in a large clan while there are also those that can never cultivate for the rest of their life and has to live as a slave.
The kindhearted Tian Xuan felt his heart bleeding when he heard such a thing. Indeed, even in back in the earth, he also realized that the life is unfair for some people. He pitied those people as well as himself for being one of those unfortunate people.
He quieted down as the silver haired infant sat in lotus position. He sensed the spiritual energy around the part under his belly button which is his dantian. He sensed the blue strings that have a comfortable feeling are circling around him and it entered his dantian as he slowly absorbing them.
<<From the darkness, you can sense the blue energy flows into you. There, try pull it closer to you and you will find the yin yang energy, the life and death energy. The black energy is the Yin energy. It is always death that determined first before the life is created. Combining the Yin with spiritual energy to neutralize the death destiny and then, absorb the Yang to purify the death and nourish the spirit.>>
Tian Xuan focused and pulled the blue energy closer to him. He realized that something was created from inside of his body. It is shaped pot and fully lit up.
Soul Cauldron!
The system said that if the soul cauldron appears, he will be one of those fortunate people that can be considered as genius as the soul cauldron will be separating the impurity in the spiritual energy when he absorbs them.
The impurity is what hindered the further cultivation so if one created a soul cauldron, there will be no impurity in the body and breaking through the realm will be an easy fit.
Tian Xuan doesn't delay. After he realized that he has a soul cauldron, he became especially revitalized and happy.
Yin energy is cold, Yang energy is warm. He pulled the blue string closer to him and separated the warm energy and swallowed the cold energy. The spiritual energy swirled with the yin in a fast pace before turning tranquil as before.
Then, he absorbed the Yang energy. It swirled inside of Tian Xuan dantian and purified his body as well as nurtures the spiritual energy.
1 Year!
[Year in this context means cultivation stage for demonic tribe while years will be the common period of time. For human the cultivation stage will be 5-Dan ki-refining Mortal realm or any Dan numbers followed by title of the realm. And the realm will be Mortal realm, immortal realm and so on. It will be explained more in the future chapters.]
