'James, this is a spatial relic from the pre-genetic era. And it contains a few crystal cores and some genetic stones. Also it has a manual that can be used to refine the body and build strength from the outer path of pre-genetic cultivation.'
It should be known that before Genetic codes were cracked and cultivation was solved, there were hidden cultivators who defied the heavens but hid from the eyes of the world. They used two paths: the inner path and the outer path. But they also changed to Genetic cultivation as it was even more powerful than theirs and a lot more safer. But you could practice the outer path to increase the physical strength and it would help you in the long run as you'll be fitter, stronger and healthier than anyone else but it also had its own problems. Such as it being inhumanely painful and strict. But James did not care as he knew that Linda would fix its flaws and make it suit only him perfectly and he would not fill even the slightest amount of pain. When getting his watch that was the manual that he received from childhood but Linda tampered a bit with it and its efficiency is so high that if anyone else is able to practice half of it they would become strong extremely fast.
'Linda please scan and change its parameters to fit mine and please if you can change it from the outer path to the genetic one so that I can get the best efficiency from the path with reduced pain. Thank you.'
'Okay James just give me a few seconds and I shall let you know what you should do or should I merge it with your current cultivation manual and therefore you'll only cultivate them together and advance at the same time.'
'Go for it Linda. I trust you.'
Whilst waiting for Linda to finish, he sat down to cultivate and advance even if its slightly, it'll be better than nothing. He sat down and entered into a meditative state and started gathering qi from the atmosphere and using it to refine his body in a never ending loop and with this he was getting stronger from just the movement of the qi in his meridians. His talent was not checked as they claimed that with his genetic ability of a trash telekinesis, he would not even step into the soldier realm in his entire life yet he defied fate. Out of his mates who were awakened with him on their 15th Birthday, he was the first to breakthrough to the soldier realm and that too a year after, with only the basic manual that is free for all in library given to him.
Once he entered the best state for meditation, he started absorbing the qi and was using it to saturate his entire being: from soul to mind to body and this helped him create a very stable foundation, that was also able to advance quickly to the next realm. As he was cultivating, Linda took over and made him cultivate at full speed without him concentrating on it to much whilst she downloaded the entire manual she had refined into his memory but also stored backups on her being. When he saw the new and improve body cultivation manual merged with his manual, he immediately switched and felt his body improving even faster but his focus on the fact that his foundation even more studier than before and it was constantly improving. He was once a soldier and he knew the importance of checking and rechecking whether what you have done is accurate or not. One small problem and your entire plan or life's work would go down the proverbially toilet.
After ensuring that his foundation was studier and getting denser, he left the absorption process to Linda whilst he focused on pondering on the Dao. When he arrived the Dao and elemental energies were the only unfamiliar to Linda and therefore the best way for her to grow accustomed to these energies was by him gaining a little insight into them and once they open their knowledge to him, Linda would download and store everything. For now they decided on the Dao of space and the elements fire, lightening and wind. As he sat there and Linda monitored his current progress, he gained insight into the profoundness of space and Linda immediately stored the entirety of space in her being and after 3 hours of waiting for the enlightenment to end, James immediately opened his eyes and he knew that he had gotten something extraordinary out of this cultivation session.
'Linda, I hope you got the entire thing as entering that state is extremely rare and hard.'
'James it seems that we were wrong about the interconnectedness of enlightenment. I only got the Dao of space that descended for you but you can now forgo mediating on space and focus on others as I will be guiding you through the entire profound nature of space that would make you progress faster than anyone else. So prepare, I shall have this class once a moth so you'll be able to digest the information well.'
'Thank you as always Linda.'
Whilst they were talking Linda was still actively running the cultivation technique and this in turn was raising the cultivation rank of James whilst ensuring that he would have a stable and dense foundation that he was always insistent on. He planned to become a ranked cultivator before reaching the royal city to go and see a person the former owner of the person was lucky to meet; the Ancestor protector of the entire kingdom - Former King Axel Fieryson. The former owner of the body had some serious luck that was even baffling as died from injuries from his so called former friends, because he asked them for food. But James did not care about that as long as they did nothing to him current to achieve his goal of having enough power to not be trampled over.
He then trained his telekinesis that had already reached a terrifying level as he could use it to stop the heart of anybody within a 10 meter radius. He usually used sharp shards for training but when he could he will substitute them for a lot of short swords that would raise his power by quite a number. He then continued training and would usually go out to gain something to eat and for some small combat experience.
Like this a year soon passed and his strength was growing monstrously and didn't seem like it was going to stop soon. He had entered the 3rd Tier and became a General but his goal was to be at least a 1 star Lord before he heads to the capital for the old man to become his teacher. And his stats were off the hook.

Bear in mind that him cultivating this way is akin to torturing himself.)

Seeing that he was on the right path and that he was progressing splendidly in the utilization of his Dao, he stayed like that and continued doing what he was doing and he knew but the time he was 19 he would be a lord ranker.
