The Half-Breed Boy

"Look its the stupid half breed orphan, Xiao Wuya. Why did the elder take him in? The other clans look at us with scorn when they see this kid on the streets."

A man looked at scorn as a child with strange crimson eyes and crystalized crimson fox ears and fox tail.

Most of the people in the Human Continent hated the other races and especially those related to the Beast Continent.

But most people didn't know that the half breed actually possessed the legendary Immortal Nine-Tailed Fox Bloodline which caused him to possess the ears and tails and the legendary Ancient Order Bloodline which gave him his humanoid form.

Xiao Wuya had 1 Ancient Star on his chest which represented his identity as an Ancient Order.

The Immortal Nine-Tailed Foxes are the gods that control the sun and moon as they continuously cultivate to reach immortality while the Ancient Order race are beings that contain the power of the Ancient God and Ancient Devil combined allowing them to rule the myriad stars and spacetime. Both the races are incredibly ancient and powerful meaning that Xiao Wuya was destined for greatness.

Xiao Wuya was originally abandoned in the forest before he was found by the Elder of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Huang. He took Xiao Wuya as his own grandchild teaching everything he knew about alchemy, shennong, and arrays.

In this world, cultivation is the only path for power. Those with weak cultivation would be crushed by those with higher cultivation. Every time they increase their cultivation they gain both power and an increased lifespan causing many people around the world who have a talent for cultivation to focus their attention on increasing their power.

Xiao Wuya was born with a strange mutated soul called the Ancient Fox Soul. The Ancient Order Race had not only had incredible power but also incredible comprehension speeds while the Immortal Nine-Tailed Fox Race not only had incredible speed but also incredible cultivation speeds causing the Ancient Fox Soul to have an incredibly fast Cultivation and Comprehension Speed.

The foundation of cultivation is the Soul, Meridians, and Dantian. The soul is used to pull Qi into the body and convert it into Energy, the meridians are used as a pathway leading the Qi to Dantian and used to lead the converted energy outside the body to be used, and the dantian is used as the place the Qi is converted and refined into Energy and the place the Energy is stored.

The Souls are graded 1 through 10 where a 10th Level Soul is counted as the Soul from Heaven while a 1st Level Soul is counted as a trash soul.

Xiao Wuya's soul isn't even counted on this scale due to it being a mutated soul but both the Ancient Soul from the Ancient Order race and the Immortal Fox Soul from the Immortal Nine-Tailed Fox Race are ranked as 10th Level Souls. Having two 10th Level Souls merged together shows that it has way more potential and talent than even the highest grade of souls.

But even with such high talent Xiao Wuya has had a bottleneck since he was young. He had inherited the ancestral memories from both of his bloodlines but he couldn't cultivate the cultivation art from either of the Ancestral Memories due to their incompatibility with his body since he had 2 different bloodlines in him.

Luckily he still had a way out of this predicament by using his immense comprehension ability to deduce a way to combine the techniques together.

He usually stayed at home to continue combing the techniques but Elder Xiao Huang found a combined technique in the Xiao Clan library. He led Xiao Wuya and showed him the technique allowing Xiao Wuya to have an epiphany on how to finish combing the cultivation technique.

The Elder had to go to a meeting so Xiao Wuya had to walk home alone leading to the people scorning him openly. He learnt how to block the voices of other people but he still felt a little hurt from his own clan members disowning him without even truly knowing him.

Xiao Wuya reached the Elder's home, surrounding the main home were a large amount of Spirit Herbs and Spirit Plants. A little further away from the home, a stone hut was built and inside was the room the Elder used for alchemy and research.

The home itself was nice and furnished. There were a lot of ornaments and items around the house that the elder collected throughout his life.

Xiao Wuya's room was bland as it only had a bed, a cultivation mat, and a closet for his clothes.

Xiao Wuya started implementing his epiphany into his cultivation technique and got ready to finally start cultivating.

Xiao Wuya path of cultivation is different than others. The usual path for the 1st step of cultivation, the Foundation Establishment Realm, is to break the eight gates to break into the next realm. But Xiao Wuya was born with the eighth gate, the Gate of Death, open instead of broken. That is the reason he already has a 1 Fox Tail and 1 Ancient Star already awakened.

So Xiao Wuya has to do his cultivation backwards and instead of breaking the gates, he has to open them up.

The eight gates of the Foundation Establishment Realm are the Gate of Opening, the Gate of Healing, the Gate of Life, the Gate of Pain, the Gate of Heart, the Gate of True Eyes, the Gate of Wonder, and the Gate of Death.

The eight gates are the gates that block a mortal from becoming a true cultivator.

Xiao Wuya's eyes opened as he shouted with excitement "My Ancient Immortal Energy Art is complete! I can cultivate Ancient Energy and Immortal Energy which both increase my strength, speed, and vitality."

Xiao Wuya didn't have the patients to wait for the Elder to come back and he immediately started the Ancient Immortal Energy Art.
