Cultivation World
After about 5 minutes, the golden particles had completely merged with Lu Xiu while he was fiercely twitching and his skin shone with a pale dark golden glow...
-=======-
"Wh.. where am I? ... my head hurts so much ah.."
Lu Xiu was standing in a completely white world whilst holding his head.
"what is this place?"
.....
"Human!"
"Who's there!"
At this time, a Black shadow appeared in this world and descended from above.
BOOM~
The shadow suddenly fell in front of Lu Xiu.
"It's you!! .... ahhh"
when Lu Xiu saw who it was he felt rage and hate for some reason, a sharp pain pierced his brain when he thought of the reason. Lu Xiu fell to his knees holding his head.
"Human, it is your fortune and misfortune for meeting me ... now you shall live my life as the ... "
NOOO~
Lu Xiu heard his words loud and clear and could not help but scream in rage, not because he felt pain but because of what was happening in his brain as Lond Di said those things, images kept appearing in his mind and in those images, he killed his mother and Lu Chen with his own two hands and then murdered Lu Yi. He stood at the summit of a mountain which was made with corpses...
-=======-
AHHHH~
Lu Xiu got up with his back drenched in sweat. He was looking at his hands and felt like he was some kind of monster. The images he saw felt so real like those events had just happened. Lu Xiu took a deep breath to calm himself down. After some time, when he had calmed down a little, Lu Xiu got to his feet and looked around him. The initially glowing room was now very dark, the shining crystals had lost their glow and the entire place descended into an eerie darkness.
"What do I do now? .. That bastard of a dragon did this to me ..."
Lu Xiu remembered the last words that were said by the dragon and couldn't help but clench his fists.
.....
"Now you shall live my life as ... The Calamity Cultivator."
.....
"It's just a dream ... I'll never let It be like this ..... eh?"
Lu Xiu was say this to himself when he felt the air around him has changed. It felt more ... pure. When he breathed in, he felt like there was something going inside of him, like when someone is basking in the warm sunlight, it felt so much like that.
"Is this the energy that exists in the heaven and the earth..."
Lu Xiu recalled what The dragon had said about him being a cultivator....
"have ... have i finally become a cultivator!"
Lu Xiu couldn't help but sigh to himself ... alas... if only I were a cultivator back then, maybe I could've prevented all of that from happening...
"Don't worry mom, I'll avenge you and Lu Chen. Yi'er .. wait for me ..."
Just as Lu Xiu finished speaking, the mountain began to tremble and rocks started to fall from above. The group started to crack and walls were being toppled. The entire mountain was falling apart. Lu Xiu quickly made his way through the toppled walls and was running blindly, not knowing where he was going. It was still better to have a chance then to die in 1 place.
"Damn this..."
Lu Xiu cursed as he ran... I just became a cultivator and the heavens want to kill me, ah... He madly ran forward, where he found a dead he would go around quickly, If he found a broken wall he would go through it ... the mountain had many passages going through everywhere. Lu Xiu was still running and now he couldn't even go back, the stones behind him were falling and sealed off his path ... If I run into a dead end now, I'm so gonna die...
As they say, be careful what you wish for, Lu Xiu ran into a dead, the rocks behind him collapsing and the 'roof' was about to come down on Lu Xiu's head. Not willing to give up, he kept banging the wall with his fists and waited for a miracle to happen.
BOOM~
After punching for 5 seconds Lu Xiu's screamed and punched again, this time the wall collapsed and because of momentum, he fell forward and surprisingly, he fell into a river.
BOOM~
with another loud boom the entire place collapsed where Lu Xiu was standing two seconds ago. The current carried Lu Xiu away as he saw the entire mountain collapse to a pile of rubble.
"Looks like this mountain was hidden and sustained by that bastard dragon..."
Lu Xiu swam with the current and with the help of some large rocks in the river he got out. He took off his clothes and put them to dry off while he tried to sense his own body. The body of cultivators is more refined than compared to normal people. Lu Xiu only had superficial knowledge of cultivation.
"Woah... I'm already at the last stage of stone realm..."
In the stone realm, the human body is made stronger, to progress in this realm one must try and strengthen their own body by fusing the heaven and earth Qi [1] into their body parts and then using the Qi which is fused, to open up pathways to circulate the Qi through out the body. In the early stage of the stone realm, one will strengthen his or her arms and then open their pathways. They must then fuse the energy into their legs and make them stronger. And in the last stage, which is the most difficult of the stone realm, one must fuse the Qi with their torso and head. It requires precision and patience, as the torso connects to the other body parts and the head is the most sensitive part of the body, any mistake could lead to the end of their cultivation journey.
"Looks like that bastard dragon actually gave me something good..."
-=======-
In a land far away, the Rising Sun City, inside a hidden room...
"He's awakened... "
A feeble aged voice resounded.
"Grandma please don't say anything you need to rest."
A soft and delicate voice came, hurring to stop the former from saying too much...
"cough~cough~ ... Grandma doesn't have much time left anyway ... Yue'er ... listen ... I'm sorry, that you were given ... cough~ ... the harsh responsibility to protect us all ... I'm sorry ..."
With that said, the eyes of the person to which the aged voice belonged, slowly closed. Forever being lost in time...
"Grandma No!!!"
.....
[1] Qi (spelled as chee) is basically the same "energy of heaven and earth" that I was referring to in previous chapters (you can just Google it and you'll know better). I decided to use "Qi" as it'll be a better term in this case (even though I read a lot of Chinese novels, I can't believe that I couldn't come up with Qi -.- )
