《My Celestial Ascension》 Chapter 1 Rebirth After Death ?"Why am I feeling so exhausted?" A slender 18-year-old male said that despite doing nothing, he suddenly felt extremely exhausted. Yuan, a young man with an emaciated figure, possessed a remarkably captivating and heartwarming countenance that belied his frail state of health. In the midst of a pandemic, he received the devastating diagnosis of leukemia in its terminal phase, already in the st phase, leaving him with only a mere four years to live if immediate treatment was not administered. Initially, he was plunged into the depths of despair, struggling to ept the stark reality of his fleeting existence. But eventually, he came to terms with the idea that his time was limited and resolved to seize the day, even though he was a destitute orphan who worked part-time to make ends meet, earning a modest sum of $45,000 - an amount that seemed like a fortune to him. ¦Ñ¦Á§ád¦Á n?¦Ía| §ãom Despite his valiant efforts to make the most of his remaining years, his health continued to deteriorate, confining him to his apartment for days on end. Nevertheless, Yuan remained resolute, determined to make every moment count and savor every precious memory that life had to offer "Is... Is it already time....why is my life so unfair?" Sigh!" "I need to get some sleep." He walked up to the bed and sat down while muttering. He had been struggling to remain awake the entire time, so when he finally fell asleep, he promptly closed both of his eyes. He murmured as he thought about her and a tear escaped his eye, "It seems like I won''t be able to honor my word, Lulu...I hope you will forgive." Lulu, a girl from the same orphanage as him, and he grew up together until a wealthy man visited the orphanage and adopted her when they were 10 years old. She loved spending time with him, and he also enjoys being with her. At that time, several of the orphanage''s male youngsters were envious of Yuan because Lulu was ignoring them all. Though he regrets never being able to see her again, there is still one mystery. Does she still remember me? In reality, he didn''t even try to find her because he was so busy during those eight years as he struggled to make ends meet while working a part-time job and attending school. He had promised to look for her in the future, but he was unable to keep that promise. When he discovered he had leukemia in its final stages, he had already given up on his studies. Instead, during those three years, he worked, went out more, and generally enjoyed life more because he had so much free time after leaving school. A few days ago, his world changed forever. An old album, hidden away for years, revealed a treasure trove of memories from his childhood in the orphanage. But one photo, in particr, stopped him in his tracks. A little girl, with a smile so bright it could light up a room, standing by his side and holding his hands. Then Lulues into his mind, his childhood sweetheart. But regrettably, it was already toote to search for her as his condition continued to deteriorate. As he reached for the album, memories flooded his mind. His fingers trembled as he opened it, revealing a snapshot of them in happier times. But as he gazed at the photo, a sharp pain pierced his heart, and tears cascaded down his cheeks, drenching the pillow in sorrow. "I-I wish I could see her onest time before I pass away... "His sentence was left unfinished, he sumbed to darkness and his final breath faded into the abyss. ¡ª¡ª Yuan''s body felt weightless as if he were a feather dancing in the wind. When he opened his eyes, darkness enveloped him, and he was suspended in mid-air. This surreal experience left him stunned; he had never encountered anything like it before. It was as if he had been transported to another world, defying all logic and reason. An unknown fear began to rise in his chest, but he made every effort to maintain hisposure and avoid losing it. He began to wonder something. As he pondered the unknown, a chilling thought entered his mind. He had read that in death, souls were sent to the afterlife, forced to start anew with erased memories. Was this his fate? Would he lose all he had ever known and be someone entirely new? Lost in the darkness, he questioned his mortality: "Am I dead?" But unlike the tales he''d read, there was no bright light or heavenly choir. Instead, an eerie unknown loomed, so thick he couldn''t see his own hands. "Yes, indeed! You''re dead now, and I find it pitiful and shameful. Such a tragic end for one so full of life!" In the midst of darkness, Yuan''s ears were pierced by an awe-inspiring voice that carried a divine aura, sending a chill down his spine and leaving him spellbound. Intriguingly, he felt the voice was strangely familiar to him, as if he had heard it every day of his life. He tried to identify where this godly voice came from because it sent a chill down his spine. "W-Who are you? Why don''t you introduce yourself?" Yuan''s heart pounded as he demanded the voice reveal its identity. He quivered in fear, dwarfed by the deity behind the godly voice, knowing one false move could mean his demise. As the darkness enveloped him, he felt a strange presence lurking nearby. And then, as if by magic, a pair of magnificent golden eyes appeared before him, piercing through the darkness with their intense glow. He couldn''t look away from the mesmerizing sight, for it felt as if those eyes could see right through his very being, leaving him exposed and vulnerable. Indeed, nothing could hide from the watchful gaze of those giant, otherworldly eyes. "Tsk. How heartbreaking it is to meet one''s end in the grasp of a mortal illness, an utter tragedy indeed! s, it is such a pity that despite possessing the power to shape one''s own destiny, you were unable to do so, and instead surrendered to your fate like a hapless chicken awaiting ughter." The voice continued, "Is it not true that you yearn for the chance at rebirth? In my deep empathy, I offer my aid to you." As the divine voice whispered, a radiant golden light materialized, piercing through the abyss and permeating Yuan''s being, filling him with ethereal power. "It is with great anticipation that I look forward to our next encounter, which will undoubtedly transpire in the future. As for the present moment, it grieves me to inform you that my departure draws near. Before we part ways, I implore you to exert every effort to enhance your physical and mental fortitude... Hahahah!" As the divine entity''sughter reverberated through the emptiness, the enormous pairs of eyes closed. Yuan''s voice trembled as he uttered the words, "What do you mean by destiny?" His very soul seemed to be at the mercy of the blinding light that engulfed him, leaving him with more questions than answers. Despite his fervent search, the elusive truth of destiny remained beyond his grasp. ¡ª Yuan stirred from his slumber, his senses immediately heightened as he inhaled the crisp, untainted air that filled his lungs. A stark contrast from the polluted atmosphere of his former home, Earth. As he slowly opened his eyes, a sense of familiarity washed over him, despite finding himself in an unfamiliar location. The room enveloped him with a warmth that felt all too familiar, like aforting embrace from "Mother". As he turned to the right, his eyes fell upon a sight that left him breathless. A stunningly gorgeous girl, with a radiance that outshone the sun, stood before him. Her youthful grace and delicate features were a marvel to behold; he knew he had never beforeid eyes on such unparalleled beauty. Her stunning allure surpassed even that of the most acimed supermodels and celebrities. Truly, she was a vision of loveliness that left him spellbound. Thump! Thump! As his eyes fixated on the alluring woman before him, his heart began to race, beating like a wild drum. Despite his nerves, a curious smile crept upon his lips, for her mere presence calmed him like a tranquil sea amidst a stormy night. As their eyes met, time seemed to stand still, and a million unspoken words passed between them. Yuan found himself lost in her gaze, but suddenly, he snapped out of his trance as he noticed the tears rolling down her cheeks. Without a moment''s hesitation, she covered her lips with her hand, and the raw emotion in her eyes tore at his heartstrings. As if guided by some unseen force, sheunched herself into his arms, seeking sce in his embrace. "Oh, my dear little brother! Thank the heavens above that you''re finally awake! My heart and my mother''s were heavy with worry, fearing we had lost you forever. We thought you were gone, vanished into the abyss, but you''vee back to us! Promise me, you''ll be more careful from now on. If I hadn''t arrived just in time, they would have snuffed out your precious life, and I can''t bear the thought of losing you. Please, promise me you''ll stay safe!" As tears streamed down her face, she uttered words that left him with a haunting impression. The body he currently possessed seemed to be harboring some deep-seated animosity towards some unknown entity. Her sobs echoed in the room as he held her tightly, leaving him to wonder about the secrets hidden within the body he now upied. ''Brother? What is she saying? What is this scenario I''m in, and more importantly, where am I? Why is she calling me little brother when she is so gorgeous?'' Because of the situation he was in at the time, he has many doubts. "Aghhh" As the sharp pain pierced through his brain, a whirlwind of foreign memories collided with his own, leaving him in a daze. Amidst the chaos, he discovered a long-lost truth: he was no longer an orphan. His heart leaped with joy as he learned he had a family of three, including himself, and that his name remained unchanged. The "Yuan" of this world, whose heart was warmed by the love of his dear mother, Anna Grace nk. Yet, behind her tender exteriory a mysterious side, as if a shadow lingered within her. Yuan could never quite put his finger on it, and unfortunately, fate had other ns. Soon after his suspicions arose, his beloved mother fell gravely ill with an enigmatic disease, rendering her bedridden for over a decade. Despite her condition, Anna remained fiercely protective of her son, bing his greatest ally and friend. However, as her health deteriorated, her ability tomunicate waned, leaving Yuan to wonder about the truth of her other self. As he gazed upon the figure before him, he couldn''t help but feel grateful for the new addition to his family. Her name was Lily, a breathtaking older sister whose luscious locks cascaded down her back like a waterfall of dark chocte. Though they shared only a slight resemnce to their mother in personality, her gentle presence filled him with a sense of warmth and belonging. Amidst the hues of a bright dawn, Yuan''s father left this world when he was a mere two-month-old bud. With his father''s memories veiled in mystery, Yuan didn''t prod his mother for details, leaving his father''s essence unexplored. In a world teeming with magic, every child yearned for the day of their awakening. At the age of 15, they would venture to the hallowed halls of the church, their hearts brimming with hope and excitement. For with the awakening came the power of mana, a mystical force that flowed through their veins, granting the gift of spellcasting to those deemed worthy. But for Yuan, fate had other ns. Despite his prodigious talents and enviable skills, his awakening ceremony ended in bitter disappointment. Overnight, the world turned against him, and Yuan''s once-charmed life plunged into a dark abyss of misery and scorn. The city was ruled by a powerful lord, whose son Jim and his two vicious lieutenants Tony and Paul had been terrorizing the innocent Yuan for three agonizing years. In a heinous act of violence, the trio snuffed out the life of the original Yuan, leaving behind a trail of devastation and heartbreak. ''Just you three wait, I''ll definitely get back at you!'' With a devilish grin on his face, he vowed that in his heart. "Dear Sister Lily, please do calm your nerves as I assure you that I am perfectly fine. As you can see, I am alive and well, full of energy and vitality. There is no need to worry or fret over my condition, as I am indeed alive and kicking. Thank you for your concern, my dear sister." Yuan said as he cherishes her hair. "Listen up, you reckless fool! I implore you to make me a solemn vow that you will never again act so irresponsibly." Yuan''s unwavering gaze met her deep-brown eyes as he made a solemn promise, "I pledge to you that I''ll never gamble with my life by indulging in reckless behavior." Her rosy cheeks blushed like blooming roses as she felt her brother''s gaze upon her, but she quickly embraced him in a tender hug, concealing her shyness. Her innocent gestures bewitched Yuan, stirring his heart with an enchanting spell. He chided his eager little brother from under his trouser, ''Calm down little brother what are you thinking she''s your sister damnit!'' Lily''s face blushed like a rose as she whispered to Yuan with a tremble in her voice, "Y-Yuan, a mysterious thing seems to be poking at my stomach." Her eyes, unable to meet his gaze, reflecting the unease that shrouded her being, leaving her spellbound in a moment of sheer embarrassment. With a sly grin and mischievous glint in his eye, he couldn''t resist the urge to yfully prod her after catching a glimpse of her blushing visage. Yuan''s mischievous grin was a clear indication of his thoughts as he uttered, "Do you realize, my dear, that every man would respond in kind to a hug from a woman as stunning as you?" His words dripped with admiration and a hint of yful mischief, leaving her heart racing and cheeks flushed with a mix of surprise and delight. upon her ears like an unexpected gust of wind, a wave of shame washed over her, tainting her cheeks with a rosy hue. But instead of wallowing in her embarrassment, she channeled her emotions into a tender yet yful assault on her brother''s chest, the rhythmic beats echoing the love that flowed through her heart. Lily''s delicate fingers caressed the velvety ears of her mischievous little brother as she spoke, "My oh my, rising from slumber has surely turned you into quite the impish rascal, hasn''t it, dear Yuan''er?" with a yful glint in her eyes. "What are you saying, big sister, Can''t you see? I''m just stating the obvious!" A mischievous grin yed on his lips as he retorted, the teasing tone in his voice was evident as he mocked her yfully. Just as he was reveling in the delight of teasing his sister, a remarkable and mind-bending moment abruptly stole his attention. Without warning, a glimmering, blue screen materialized right in front of his eyes, apanied by a sudden and distinctive "ding" sound. "..." [Ding! System reboot has been sessful!] [Ding! System activated!] ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª (Behold, my revised chapter! Comment below and let me know how it strikes you.) Chapter 2 Should I Make A Harem Of Ten Girls? ?[Ding! System Reboot has been sessful!] [Ding! The system Activated!] [Ding! Identifying the host....] [Ding! Identify has been confirmed] [Ding! Congrattions on activating the system, Host Yuan!] [Ding! Please check the starter gift pact that has been sent to the host''s system inventory during the next 12 hours!] He quickly rubbed both of his eyes to see whether he was seeing things when a translucent blue screen and a female mechanical voice with several notifications suddenly appeared. He knew he was not seeing things but the reality when the popup didn''t go away despite his scratching his eyes several times. Since I have been reborn and this world believes in magic, I won''t be shocked if a system appears. What could surprise you after facing death? Yuan nced at the notifications and said in a low tone while shaking his head. "Little Yuan, how are you doing, are fine?" When Lily witnessed her younger brother shaking his head for no apparent reason, she questioned him out of the concern and assumed he might be experiencing migraines. "No, I''m perfectly alright. Big sister doesn''t have to consider much." "Yeah, great, but let''s visit your mother now; she has been really concerned about you," Lily remarked as she rose from the bed Yuan was upying. "I''ll wash myself up first because I have blood all over my body and it''s ufortable to stay in this position...You go first, big sis." He realized that his garments were stuck to his skin when he woke up because they were covered in his dried blood, which was exceedingly ufortable. Okay, I''m leaving, but do it quickly." After saying this, she quickly locked the door and left the room Yuan was in. He got out of bed, checked to see if she was gone, then headed straight for the restroom. As his father was a magic knight and worked for the kingdom, he learns from the old Yuan''s memories that only the wealthy have bathrooms in their homes. As a result, they are quite wealthy. "If you don''t dilute this down, it will hurt awfully." His dress was adhered to his skin, making it unpleasant to remove it, much like waxing body hair, so as soon as he reached the bathroom, he promptly took a shower while still wearing his clothes. [Now that the system is operational, would the host like to review his status information?] When he once more heard the woman''s voice in his brain, he halted the shower. But, this time the voice was extremely different from thest; instead of being robotic as it had been before, it was this time a very feminine voice belonging to a young girl that almost enchanted him. ''I''ve never heard a voice this wonderful, damn!'' Once he had recovered from his stupor, he said, "Okay, Show me!" ¡ª [System Interface] Host: Yuan nk Age: 19 years Cultivation: None Legacy: None Bloodline: None Physique: Heaven Devouring Physique Physical strength: 8 Mental strength: 45 Soul strength: 120 Physical Defense: 5 Mental Defense: 121 SP: 0 ?System Inventory? ?System Shop? ?Missions? [Currently None] ¡ª "Shit! This body is more fragile than a chicken. Well, my first body was likewise feeble, therefore I have no right toin that this one is weak. ''Sigh! Looks like I''ll have to work really hard to get stronger,'' he mattered, a little disappointed. It was true that this body was weak because the original Yuan had not even given it a light workout. "What the hell happened to my mana stat? I should still have that stat even though I wasn''t awakened! right? What is this "cultivation thing" exactly?" He was wondering where the mana stat had vanished when an epiphany struck, sending him into a fit of maniacalughter. "Hahaha, Danm! I''ve just won the lottery! Although this is amazing, isn''t this intended to be a magical where magicians make up the lower ss? But even so, this is absurd!" He had read numerous novels and manga about cultivation on earth, so he was aware of the awesomeness of the immortals. Isn''t it amazing that he can now cultivate in this magical realm and actually be immortal as well? Who could not feel energized merely from thinking? ''Should I create a harem of approximately 10 females? If I create a harem, I can dual cultivate and achieve a breakthrough much more quickly than if I just sat down and meditated for hours on end!'' Being a total virgin otaku in his prior life who spent much of his time worrying about his living expenditures and having little time for rtionships, he begins to fantasize about creating a harem and dual cultivating with them. (AN: I like the stories that have some spices to make them spicy, if not it won''t leave a taste in my mouth.) "But first, I should concentrate on strengthening myself as quickly as I can, for without it, I won''t even be able to predict when I''ll die..." A scorching spark of resolve could be seen in his eyes, which are ming with enthusiasm, as he mumbled while gripping his hands firmly to be stronger. [Host, I advise you to check the beginner''s gift pack in the system''s inventory because it expires in 11 hours!] He was shocked to once more hear a female voice in his brain, so he took control of hisposer and questioned, "I''ll do that right away, but who are you? You speak and behave like a live human, thus to me, you are more than simply a machine. What are you, may I ask?" [I am a system spirit or a will, Nora, in response to the host''s query. I was made to serve as the system''s administrator and to help you whenever the host asked. I''ll do everything the host asks of me. This system was created to assist the host with cultivation methods and weaponry as well as to ensure that the host was proceeding in the proper direction. Please feel free to ask any questions if the host has any.] Nora said. "Then, Nora, open the beginner''s gift package or whatever it is!" Yuan interrupted quickly as Nora finished speaking because he was eager to find out what the reward would entail. Nora eximed, [Understood!] [Ding! The beginner''s gift pack has been opened..] [Ding! Havens secret arts cultivation technique has been received!] [Ding! A spirit-grade high-quality weapon Blue Jade sword has been received!] [Ding! One Sword One strike sword technique has been received!] [Ding! A Mysterious box has been received!] [Ding! 1000SP has been received from the beginner''s gift pack] [Ding! All the rewards have been ced on the inventory, would the host like to check?] He reasoned to himself, "It''s been over 30 minutes since I entered the restroom; if I take too long big sis will worry for nothing," and he responded, "No, I will do itter." After that, he quickly showered and stepped outside the bathroom while donning fresh clothing from the drawer. He is currently wearing a ck shirt and cks, but the shirt has golden motifs on it, which makes it stick out and look more appealing. Then, for the first time in this world, he turned to face himself in the mirror. A tall, slim man who resembled him on Earth but was a little more attractive and had golden eyes that gave him an air of dominance caught his eye. "I guess I still resembled myself? ... A little more attractive, to be precise! My eyes turned golden like the man in the unusual location, but what did he say? Ipletely missed what he was saying..." The mystery man with the golden eye whom he encountered in that dark area still gives him a shiver through his entire body just remembering, how strong the man''s cultivation must be, he said as he saw himself in the mirror. "Little Yuan, have you finished tidying up? Hurry down here if you''re finished because mom wants to see you!" The fact that Lily called to him from outside the room demonstrates how much his mother prioritizes Yuan''s well-being over her own and wants to see his face despite being concerned about her health. "Un... I''m about finished and will be there in a second!" He responded to Lily while adjusting his hair. "You already know how overly protective she is of you, soe see her as soon as possible. She can hardly wait to see you." ''Sigh! ording to the memories I have, she really is very overly protective of me. If something were to happen to me, I''m not sure what she would do. Yuan murmured as she considered the potential oues. She is the kind of person who would have stayed by his side for days without eating or drinking if it weren''t for the fact that she couldn''t leave her room. He gets dressed and leaves his room to discover his sister waiting for him outside. "Sis, why are you standing around? Of course, I would havee to you instead!" "ensuring you don''t upy too much time! We should see mum right now because her illness is bing worse by the minute and I don''t think she has at least two more months to live." With a very sad expression and her mouth covered as tears streamed down her cheeks, Lily remarked as they moved towards their mother''s chamber. " . " He immediately stopped walking and nced at his sister with a peculiar expression after hearing her exin his mother''s current state. The aura Yuan is putting off makes Lily feel uneasy. ''What''s happening... Why is God giving me such a life? Although I now have a family after previously being an orphan, my mother is in danger of passing away. How did I deserve such a fate? What crime did Imit...?'' When he first received the memories of this body and realized he had a family in this life, he was overjoyed. However, he has since learned that his mother has less than two months left to live. He was in pain¡ªthe pain of losing someone¡ªand tears started to trickle down his cheeks. Although not the world''s first Yuan, he nheless experienced the anguish of losing his mother. ''Why don''t I remember it? Why can''t I recall...?'' He asks himself why his mother''s condition was thus severe since he doesn''t recall it. He felt someone hugging him tightly out of nowhere, which warmed his heart. When he looked up, he realized it was his sister. "I am aware that you are suffering, Yuan''er, just as I am. As soon as I found out about this, I found it difficult to eat properly for days, and I had weeks of despair. I can go forward, though, and you must do the same." As she gave him a hard hug and started crying, Lily replied. "I know that, but sister, I will definitely find a cure for mother even if it costs my soul!" As he gave his sister another embrace, Yuan said with a very serious expression on his face. "Let''s go meet mom right away, let''s not spend any more time!" After the hug, Lily murmured as she led him inside their mother''s room. ¦Ñ¦Á§ád¦Á n?¦Ía| §ãom "Unn" nodded as he followed his sister to their mother''s bedside, and they quickly arrived at their objective. A room door was in front of his eyes, and it had a very lovely design engraved on it. ''hmmm? Why am I so fearful of seeing my mother? He noticed that for some reason, as he approached the door, his rate quickened. How long are you holding out for? Now open the door! Lily remarked as she cast a nce at Yuan, who was immobile standing in front of the entrance. "Unn," he says, nodding to his sister as he twists to the left while holding the door handle. The door unlocked with a" click" sound. When he first entered the room, a woman was lying on a sizable double bed in the center of the bed. Her hair was a mixture of ck and white, and she had a very attractive face with thin pink lips. Her body was thin, which is expected given her illness, and her face was a little pale. She was quite attractive when she was at her best. Given that he had never had a family before, he was experiencing a lot of emotions as he watched the woman lying on the bed. Anna Grace nk, his mother, was one of the women in the bed. "Mom...?" Chapter 3 Twin Heart Soul Body ?"Mom...?" Yuan impulsively yelled out to the woman as he approached her as soon as he noticed herying in the bed. "Hmmm?.. Yuan, are you there?" As the door to her room opened and a young man''s voice entered the room, Anna Grace nk remarked that she instantly recognized the voice and wouldn''t mistake it for anybody else''s. "I''m here¡ªyes, Mom! Mom, how are you feeling?" Yuan spoke as he sat next to her on the bed, taking her hand in his, and beginning to tenderly massage it out of love for her. "It''s really you, My sweetheart. I assumed you had experienced some sort of loss. Why, sweetheart, didn''t you visit me yesterday to talk? Do you realize how worried I was?" Whilst in his arms, she briefly sobbed. Guilt was the only thing she could think of. As his mother, she was responsible for taking care of him and providing for him in every way possible, but due to her illness, she was forced to spend the entire day lying on the bed andcked the power to even lift her hands to her son''s face. She had given up on it because no one in this world can treat her sickness. She still holds out hope that her disease will be cured someday so that she can stand by her kids and give them her whole heart. ''Sorry mom, I''m afraid I can''t let you know that the old Yuan you knew had passed away.'' Yuan confessed in his heart, feeling somewhat bad about it. "Mom! See, nothing has happened to me. At the town square yesterday, I was working on something crucial to our family. I''m sorry, Mom, and I love you!" With a smile on his face, Yuan spoke as he admired her soft, ck, and white hair. Yet he secretly felt bad for making up what had happened to him yesterday. "Mom! Little Yuan is speaking the truth; yesterday, he was quite busy working on a crucial task." Lily, who was standing next to Yuan, echoed what her brother had said and agreed. She also didn''t want their sick mother to be under any more stress than she already was. "Is that true, dear?... My dear, I am so proud of you." She smiled very warmly at her son and wiped a small tear from her eyes, feeling happy that he had grown up and was now responsible enough to take care of his family. Although she was quite thrilled at the time, Lily felt bad for telling her mother a lie about Yuan; why wasn''t he able to visit his mother yesterday? ''I vouch that I will quickly discover a remedy for mom''s condition!'' He makes a heartfelt promise to himself that he will heal his mother''s disease, and then all of a sudden, a notion entered his mind. I swear I will surely find a cure for mom''s illness soon enough!" he swears to himself in his heart that he will cure his mother''s illness, and suddenly a thought appeared in his head. ''The system. Yes, surely the system would know what''s going on with my mom as it''s a very magical thing!'' Yuan thought about the possibility of the system knowing what''s the problem with his mother''s condition. "Nora, hey! Can you examine my mother''s physique and let me know what the issue is...?" To locate any information that would help her recover from her condition, he questioned the system. [Certainly, host! I''ll be finished in a minute, so kindly wait.] Yuan was enthusiastically answered by Nora, who then used her power to scan his mother''s body. He simply hoped that there was a way to save his mother, even if it meant giving up his own life in the process because he didn''t want to be an orphan again. Yuan had no idea who his parents were or even whether they were still alive while he was on Earth. He had no idea who they were; all he knew was that he had been discovered in a basket on the ground close to the orphanage''s entrance. He broke his pledge to a girl who was close to him and helped him in the orphanage in every way possible on top of everything else. Although she tended to be obstinate and unpleasant at times, she was still incredibly devoted and concerned about Yuan. He had previously died and been reincarnated in this new body, so he had to give up on hismitment to look for her when he was older. When Nora responded, Yuan saw a glimmer of hope that his mother would be spared the pain she had been going through all these years. [Host! What I''ve discovered will shock you! The marvel that is this!] Shortly, he heard Nora''s voice, bursting with enthusiasm, within his thoughts, confirming that she had discovered information regarding his mother''s condition. Yuan lifted one of his eyebrows and inquired upon hearing Nora''s voice "What information about Mom did you learn? What did you discover, tell me. Can Mom''s condition be cured?" Although he was growing impatient, Yuan asked Nora right away. p¦Ánd¦Á,no¦Í?1,§ão§® [In response to your inquiry, Your Mother is not ill at all!] said Nora. "What, exactly, would youbel her current state of health if she weren''t ill? Inform me!" He was wondering why Nora had imed that his mother wasn''t ill at all at this precise moment. How is it she can say that? What would you name her current state if she weren''t ill? What Nora said left him perplexed. [Don''t be perplexed! You didn''t listen to me when I mentioned earlier that your mother is not ill; her condition is extremely unusual and only happens a few times in a billion years. It''s a wonder; I never imagined finding something so amazing in this tiny world.] "Tsk. Can you exin to me clearly what is happening with my mother, Nora? Everything here is above myprehension! ....." Yuan was trying to determine the source of his mother''s condition objectively when the system said, [Your mother doesn''t have any illnesses, as I previously stated; rather, her extraordinary body is to me. She has a physical configuration known as the Twin Heart Soul Body, whose holder has two hearts and two souls in a single body as well as two personalities. She can also split herself into two different people before rbining into one. Because there are no cultivators on this and shecks the skills to cultivate, her body is continuously in need of enough qi to keep it operating properly. This world doesn''t have even one cultivator still alive, which is unfortunate.] rified Nora. "Now that I think about it, I do remember her acting like a different person many times in the past... so that''s the exnation for it, huh?" Yuan spoke after realizing the reason for his mother''s personality change. There is still one issue to be resolved: how can we heal her? "Now that we know what caused her illness, shouldn''t you advise me how to treat her, am I right?" Yuan said as he grew impatient to find a remedy for her. [Host! It''s extremely easy; all you have to do is instruct and provide her with cultivation methods to practice, and she will return to normal in less than a day. stated Nora. "It sounds usible, but. Was there something I missed? .." Disbelief! If he was hearing things or not, Yuan questioned in a shaking voice. [Yes, host! If she begins her cultivation, she will be fine, I can tell you. But, she is now in too poor of a condition to cultivate; you must first purchase a healing medication from the system shop, which is above middle grade. This will enable her to begin cultivating once her body has fully healed from its injuries.] Once more, Nora reaffirmed it. He had a strangely relieved expression on his face after hearing Nora confirm it as if he had won back his most prized possession. "How are you doing, little brother? What makes you act odd right now?" Lily questioned as she observed her little brother grinning inconsbly; she became concerned because he had been harmed the day before. He unintentionally blurted out in front of his mother and sister, "It''s nothing, I just discovered a way to cure Mom of her disease." It''s not funny to fool about with something like this, little brother. "Are you sure, son? Did you actually locate a treatment? Mama is confident you''ll one day discover a treatment for me!" Unlike his sister, his mother trusted her son''s word and was confident that he wouldn''t joke about such a serious situation. "I did discover a treatment, and I''m not joking!" Yuan spoke while looking at each of them with a very serious gaze. "Brother, is that really the case? Really, you can heal Mom?" He wasn''t joking, she could tell by the serious expression he was making, so Lily said as she observed him. _ [A mission has been assigned to the host] [will the host receive this mission? Yes/No] _ "Sure!" without giving it any thought, he epts the task; the only requirement is that he purchase something from the shop, which he was already nning to do. [Host has taken the mission! You have 59 minutes toplete this mission] "Nora! Buy a high-grade healing pill for my mom!" Yuan said. [High-grade healing pill will cost 10 SP! Will you confirm this purchase? Yes/No] "Yes" [Ding! You have sessfully purchased a high-grade healing pill! The pill has been ced in the inventory!] [SP: 990] [Ding! The mission has beenpleted sessfully!] [Ding! Five high-grade body strengthening pills were received! Please check the inventory!] _ He took out the healing tablet in his hand after numerous pop-ups from the system verified that he had bought and finished the job assigned by the system. "Mom, taking this medication will enable your body to function at its best. But this is just a stopgap measure; after that, I''ll give you something that willpletely heal you!" Yuan stated while disying a pill from a bottle. They could smell a lovely, floral scent when he took the pill, which was very aromatic. As Anna opened her mouth to swallow the medication, she remarked, "I have tried several potions before, sweetheart, and none of them worked. But I have never seen this kind of medicine before, so let me try and hope it will work even though it''s just a temporary remedy. Since his mother was unable to move her body, someone needed to feed her, so Yuan took the tablet and ced it in her mouth for her to swallow. Glup! She feels her body beginning to heat up as soon as she consumes the tablet, and soon after that, vapor begins to escape from her body as a result of the heat. Her thin figure was restored to its previous shape and could be seen by everyone soon after her pale skin started to rejuvenate. Her thin physique soon vanished from view, reced by a very attractive body with long legs and an exquisite curve resembling a goddess of beauty. Her face was now radiant and really attractive. As soon as the procedure is through, she touches her face and starts moving her hands and legs a little bit like an ecstatic child, nearly forgetting what it feels like to move them. "Is this a dream? ...or am I delusional?" Anna questioned, her limbs finally free after such a long time. "Mom! This is a reality rather than a fantasy. Mom, you''re really recovered! I''m really pleased for you, mom." Lily said while crying uncontrobly from being ovee by her feelings. This is a tear of delight rather than one of grief. Her mother''s recovery from her illness made today the happiest day ever for her. "Not a dream? I guess that means I..." She gave her son a bear embrace and sobbed uncontrobly in his chest; she had always wanted to touch him but had been unable to do so because of her illness. Nevertheless, despite all the odds, she was able to hug her son by herself. She hugged him as if he were about to flee from her. Instead of being bothered by her, Yian hugged her and adored her soft hair, which was now even softer than before. Soon, Lily into the hug as well because she couldn''t bear to be left alone. Chapter 4 Learning Divine Rank Skill ?Yuan, Lily, and their mother Anna were all present in a fairly big room, cuddling each other in a big bed. For more than 30 minutes, they have been embracing one another. Having lost track of time due to Anna''s recovery from her illness today, they were emotionally overwhelmed. The three of them are still pleased with it, despite the fact it was merely a short-term fix. "Let''s stop here; it''s almost lunchtime... In the meantime, you help Mom get used to walking again! ... We''ll be eating in the dining room together today for the first time in a long time, so I''ll go ask the maid to make something special for the asion." Stating that Lily hastily exited the room, leaving Yuan and his mother alone themselves. ¦Ñ¦Á§ád¦Á n?¦Ía| §ãom Yuan assisted his mother in getting ustomed to walking again after his sister left the room. She struggled to stand properly at first, like a baby, but after a few attempts, she was able to stand on her own without the need for Yuan''s assistance. "Now that you can stand properly, Mom, why don''t you try walking by yourself?" Yuan stated that after witnessing his mother''s ability to stand properly without losing control of her legs, it is also important for him to begin his cultivation after witnessing the pill''s miracle. "Alright! Let me try it then," Anna said, moving her leg carefully and taking her first step in a very long time. She immediately attempted to take a second stride but found herself on the verge of falling due to a loss of bnce. "Mom! Careful!" She is about to hit the ground when Yuan takes her by the waist and stops her. "You shouldn''t rush things right now; instead, take your time and ustomed to it thoroughly first." "..." "..." The words he was about to speak to her again became stuck in his tongue and he was unable to get them out as he pressed his face against his mother''s. When their lips were ready to make contact and they each felt the heat of the other''s breath, they both momentarily stopped. ''This is my son and nothing else, calm down, why my heart is beating so quickly, yet I must admit, he is indeed very handsome!'' She thought. His brown eyes, now slightly golden, caught Anna''s attention as she mused to herself. As each second passed, her heartbeat became faster. Yuan, meanwhile, just keeps staring into her eyes. The two of them remain stationary, unconcerned about their surroundings as they continue to stare into one another''s eyes. Tap! Tap! "Mom! Someone ising! Yuan said this as he heard footsteps outside the room, jolting his mother back to reality. "huh? Ah, yes..." she eximed with her face flushed red, and she took a step away from him. "From now on, you should be more cautious, Mom!" Yuan exined with a slightly blushing face, that he had never had a close rtionship with a woman in his previous life and died a virgin. "Umm," He received simply a head nod from Anna, who then turned her head aside. They couldn''t look into one other''s eyes directly, which made the situation ufortable for both of them. Click! A gorgeous woman with a graceful and elegant body in herte 20s who was dressed as a maid soon entered the room after the door opened. This was Emma, and he knew her right away from the memories he had. She has been working for their family for more than 20 years, long before Lily and Yuan were born. She is devoted to Anna, his mother because it was she who brought her out of the slum at the age of nine and raised her as her own. Emma froze when she saw Yuan and Anna standing by herself and appearing to be in excellent health; tears began to flow from Anna''s eyes. "Mistress? You''ve truly recovered! I believed Young Miss was ying a joke on me. But it''s the truth! Mistress, I''m very delighted for you." She had prayed to the gods every day to cure Anna''s illness, but it was all in vain because no one could cure her. As she watched Anna stand by herself, she was ovee with emotion, causing her to cry. "I appreciate it, Emma. Yet, my healing is only temporary, so there is little reason to rejoice. Anyway, is the lunch ready yet? It''s been a long time now, I haven''t had a satisfying meal." Anna was anticipating her lunch because she was feeling better and could eat whatever she wanted. She eventually became tired of the vor of oatmeal and was only eating it because she was unable to eat anything else. "Well, I almost forgot why I came here in the first ce... Young master and mistress, the meal has been prepared; pleasee down as soon as possible before it gets cold." Emma responded with a weird smile on her face. Anna nodded, "Well, you go first; we''ll be there in a minute." Emma then made a small bow in Anna''s direction and walked out. When Emma spoke with his mother, one thing Yuan noticed was that Emma''s tongue was very long and separated into two sections like a snake''s; also, her eyes are snake-like yellow, and her ears are somewhat more pointed than those of a human. It proves that she is a member of the snake tribe of the beastman race; otherwise, how would you exin her having a snake-like tongue and yellow eyes? "Let''s eat lunch together while it''s still hot so we don''t make them wait too long!" Yuanmented while supporting his mother''s proper gait by holding her hand. Anna''s face flushed and her heartbeat quickened as Yuan suddenly took her hand, but she showed no signs of rejection. ''Calm down me, there is nothing between us; he''s only assisting me in walking appropriately!'' They were leaving the room slowly, and she was attempting to calm down while she thought to herself. As they made their way to the dining room, Anna carefully inspected every inch of the house. After taking a few steps, she began to understand how to walk by herself, albeit slowly, and Yuan closely followed her while keeping an eye on her. "It''s still the same as it was in the past!" When she spoke, she grinned and turned to face the living room. She can still clearly recall Yuan and Lily''s previous ytime in this space. There is no portrait of Yuan and Lily''s father because their mother disliked him and waspelled to wed Jacob because he was the third child born to Count nk by his concubine and hence could not be considered Noble. Because of this, after getting married to Anna, he left the nk household and enlisted in the kingdom army as a high-ranking magic knight. However, two months after Yuan was born, he passed away defending a city from a beast tide. The old Yuan only heard what Anna had to say about his father and stopped asking further questions because he had never met him. "Mom! You can look around the house at ater time; now just let''s eat our meal first." "Okay, sweetie, let''s go!" Yuan''s suggestion was epted by Anna because she was also peckish at the time, and the two of them immediately went to the dining area to eat lunch. As soon as they entered the dining room, Lily and Emma were already there, waiting for them. "Mom! You can look around the house at ater time, now just let''s have our lunch first." "Alright Dear, let''s go!" Anna agreed with Yuan as she was feeling hungry right now, the two of them directly head towards the dining room to have lunch. Soon they reached the dining room and saw Lily and Emma waiting for them to arrive. "Little brother, you two took your time getting here!" Lily stated as she had a slightly envious expression on her face for Yuan. "Sigh! It wasn''t his fault; instead, I am to me because I was moving slowly due to my limitations!" "I''m not at all ming you, Mom! Sister Emma, would you kindly bring the food and join us? "Lily spoke with her mother before instructing Emma to bring them food. Emma was serving food for them at the table as Yuan and others took their seats. Emma then set down an extra chair that was avable. When everyone had finished eating, Yuan was the first because he was eager to try cultivation and didn''t want to spend any more time. "I''m done! I''ll be rxing in my room if you need anything... Mom, you should rest today as you just recovered and your body is very weak at the moment." When he finished speaking, he walked out of the dining area and into his room. "Youngdy, I sense that the young master has changed; he now exudes a sense of maturity... In my personal view, it''s a good thing for everyone. Don''t you think so? " Emma said as she cut a piece of meat from her te. She then cast a quick at nce Lily''s way out of the corner of her eye. "I suppose you could say that, since it''s his age of maturity, which is typical for him to get mature," Lily responded after hearing Emma''s statements. "Indeed! Children grow very quickly. Regrettably, I was unable to provide him with a proper childhood, but I will now support him in any way I can." Anna sighed, as she was unable to see him grow up as a child due to her illness. She has now promised herself that she will support him by remaining close to him. "From now on, I''ll also do everything I can to support him as much as I can!" "I am his big sister after all," Lily said, heaving up a little bit of her chest. "You still behave like a child, my daughter, hahaha! Anna scoffed. ¡ª After returning to his bedroom, Yuan sat down on his bed in a rxed manner. Even though he was eager to cultivate for the first time, he didn''t want to rush things because he wanted to experience how it felt to cultivate peacefully in real life. "Hey, Nora! ... How long will the pill''s effectst?" He doesn''t know how long the high-grade healing pill willst after he gave it to his mother because he doesn''t know how long it will take for the effect to wear off. It will be difficult if his mother''s condition deteriorates before he obtains a cultivation technique for her to cultivate. [Normally, the pill''s effect wears off in an hour, but because your mother is mortal, the effect willst a day. Don''t overthink it; all you need to do is begin your cultivation, and then you can purchase a Divine-grade technique for your mother from the system shop.] Nora informed him of his mother''s current situation. Fine, I''ll follow your instructions; please, Nora, bring out the cultivation method. Yuan said, A golden-colored book soon materialized in his right hand. Yuan clutched the book in both of his hands, saying, "So this is how skill books look in real life; it''s a very strange feeling to touch it in hand." The book''s cover is inscribed with numerous symbols that he is unfamiliar with, and it exudes a profound aura. Yuan had the impression that he had something divine. [Come out of your trance, host, cross your legs, open the book, and start learning the technique right away!] Nora said this as she watched him doze off instead of concentrating on learning the technique. "Right, ohh!" He snapped out of his trance when he heard Nora''s voice within his thoughts and cautiously opened the book. He observed the page was written in a bizarre, symbolguage that he couldn''t understand as he opened the book. He persisted in reading the book even though he was unable toprehend a single word of what it was. He closed his eyes, unaware that he was doing so. After closing his eyes, he experienced a sense of renewal and rxation simr to that of taking a cool shower during a hot day. It appeared as though something was hypnotizing him. He gradually beganprehending the words in the book, and knowledge he had never known was being fed into his head as the book''s enigmatic phrases looked to be less gibberish. This went on for almost an hour before he was awakened by a sharp femaleputerized voice. [Ding! You have sessfully learned Heaven''s Secret Arts!] "Heaven''s Secret Arts... Sounds quite imposing!" Yuan remarked while beaming broadly. ********** (I know you guys will say the name of the technique is a copy from Cultivation Online by MLB, but let me tell you this: I will be using his technique''s names and characters only in this novel and nothing else. And why am I using it? Because I like how it sounds.) Chapter 5 First-Time Experiencing Cultivation ?[Ding! You have sessfully learned Heaven''s Secret Arts] p¦Ánd¦Á`no¦Í?1--§ão§® ___ ___ Qi is the essence of this world and the purest form of energy, in contrast to mana, which is the lowest form of energy used by mortals in this world, ording to the knowledge he had obtained throughprehending the words in the book. No matter how hard they try, the mortals who utilize mana in this realm are unable to perceive Qi in the air. One needs to possess specific techniques, sometimes known as cultivation techniques, in order to perceive Qi in the air. One will be able to perceive Qi in the air and absorb it in his body using one of those procedures. No one can ess Qi in this world without the proper techniques. "Unbelievably fascinating and enigmatic..." Yuan murmured those words, then closed his eyes and sat in lotus position on his bed. [Host! Before you begin, I advise against cultivating on your bed because you might perspire a lot!] Before he closed his eyes to cultivate, Nora warned him. "Ummm" Yuan gets up from the bed and sits in the lotus position on the floor while nodding his head in agreement. Before activating the skill, he once more slowly closes his eyes to begin his cultivation. [Ding] <5/1000> <10/1000> <15/1000> <20/1000> ''Fascinating! So, this is how Qi is supposed to feel in reality!'' Yuan thought as he looked at the Qi particles in the air: every second he cultivated in the lotus position, his Qi experience increased by 5. Furthermore, as he activated the Consuming Heaven technique, his breath naturally became calm and rhythmic, simr to someone doing "yoga." It was almost as if he had been breathing incorrectly his entire life and was now breathing correctly for the first time. Yuan felt an explosion inside his body within almost 4 minutes, followed by a gentle cold sensation that spread throughout his entire body, making him more rxed. It was as if he had been thrown into a cold pool of water on a hot, sunny day. ''This is very easy; all I have to do is sit like this and cultivate... And being able to cultivate this in real life feels awesome, almost as if I am enjoying a nice warm bath.'' Yuan pondered, recalling the delightful sensation he had experienced when cultivating. "Nora! Show me my status!" Yuan said to Nora after that a transparent screen appeared in front of him, showing his details. ¡ª Name: Yuan nk Age: 19 years Cultivation: First Level Spirit Apprentice Legacy: None Bloodline: None Physique: Heaven Devouring Physique Physical Strength: 108 Mental Strength: 145 Soul Strength: 220 Physical Defense: 105 Mental Defense: 221 SP: 90 ?System Inventory? ?System Shop? ?Missions? [Currently None] ¡ª [Congrattions on bing a cultivator, Host.] Nora said to him in his mind. "It''s all because of you; if you hadn''t chosen me as your host, I wouldn''t have had a second chance in life, and you also helped me recover my sick mother, so you have my sincere gratitude, Nora." [What exactly are you saying? Stop thinking about it; you''re destined to have me on your side!] Nora responded in a rxed manner. Yuan only smiled bitterly as he listened to Nora''s response. He then took the book from his bed and opened to the page he was reading. However, Yuan was able to understand everything on this page from beginning to end this time because the words were no longer gibberish, as they had been before, only to lose hisprehensionter. It was as if he were reading a novel about a man and his journey towards bing Transcendent; as the story progressed, it became more mysterious and profound. Unbeknownst to him, he was sitting still, closing his eyes, and making an extremely calm expression, as if he were in a state of absolute calmness. ____ (2¡ü) ____ ¡ª When Yuan opened his eyes again, he stand up from his seat. He then walks over to the window. For the first time since being reincarnated in this world, he looks out the window. "It''s already getting dark...?" He wondered how long he had been meditating for; To him, only a few minutes have passed. [From what I know, Host, it seems that you are in a state of enlightenment!] Looking at the perplexed Yuan, Nora replied. "Enlightenment?..this phrase I am quite familiar with; practically every cultivation novel mentioned what I just went through as a state of enlightenment," Yuan said, recalling all the cultivation novels he had read on earth. [That''s right!] Nora nodded. "Thinking back, I never imagined that I, Yuan, would one day experience the same enlightenment mentioned in those fantasy novels in real life...The feeling is indeed extraordinary!" Yuan muttered. [Would you mind telling me if you learned anything new during your enlightenment?] Nora inquired because she, like a real living person, was curious about the type of enlightenment Yuan received on his first day of cultivation. "Ah, I see...Umm, It appears that I have progressed to the second stage of Heaven''s Secret art and have acquired the Heaven Splitting Sword Strike." He said to Nora. [Host, congrattions! That makes me very happy.] Nora congratted him, as she was absolutely delighted with Yuan''s achievement and she added, [However, Host, your cultivation level is insufficient to use this technique; you must be at least in the warrior realm to use this skill.] Then, Yuan said, "all I have to do is strengthen my cultivation base, and I''ll be able to employ it without a doubt." As long as he improves his cultivation, he will be able to use it without difficulty. "Let''s just stop here for the time being. Mom and Sis are probably worried about me right now. I should speak with them specifically Mom; I should also purchase a technique for Mom." Remembering that the pill effect would onlyst for today, he decided to have a serious conversation with his mother about her condition. He immediately got up and headed straight for the living room from his bedroom. After arriving at the living room; He noticed his sister, Emma, and mother, Lily, were speaking happily and smiling faintly in the living room. "Yuan, what have you been doing in your room for so long?" As soon as Lily saw Yuan arrive, she questioned. Why does he seem to be different now? Am I simply dreaming? While she pondered, she felt perplexed by the current Yuan. "No... It''s nothing; I was doing something important there, so I was a little distracted!" He lied. "Is that correct?" Lily eximed. ''Something must have happened inside his room; I will find outter!'' Lily thought, knitting her brows as if she didn''t believe him. "Dear, Is there anything bothering you? You appear to have a lot going on in your head; it''s unpleasant to look at!" Anna inquired, concerned by her son''s troubled expression. ''Sigh! It appears that I am unable to conceal anything from them, particrly Mom! But I''m at a loss for how to begin this conversation... This is ridiculous!...'' Yuan sighed inwardly as he looked at his mother''s concerned expression. Their facial expressions indicate that they didn''t take him seriously. and at this, he could only sigh. Then he sat down in front of them and addressed them, "Mom, Big Sis, and Emma, as you are an indispensable part of our small family, what I am about to tell you will revolutionize the way you view the world! You will have ess to a new universe thanks to the information I''m about to provide you. And please remember that anything I am about to tell you should stay in this room; otherwise, if word gets out, we will be in danger!" As they heard this, they all raised an eyebrow and turned to face him with a bewildered expression on their faces, wondering what he was going to say to them. [Host! I advise starting this discussion somewhere else. You do realize that walls have ears? Just to be safe, Nora gave him a heads-up before he started speaking. "You''re right, Nora; thanks for the heads-up!" Yuan agreed. Given that this is a magical world, anything is possible at any time. [You don''t need to thank me; I''m your assistant!] Nora spoke, but she was content inside. "Mom! We should go to your room first, and then we''ll continue from there." Yuan said as he rose from the sofa and walked toward Anna''s bedroom. "All right, better safe than sorry! Let''s go to my room, Lily and Emma!" As he rose from the sofa, his mother nodded to Yuan and said something to Emma and Lily. Emma and Lily stood up and trailed Yuan and Anna behind them. After they entered Anne''s room and properly closed the door so no one could hear their conversation with his family. "Yuan! Don''t keep us waiting; just tell us! You have piqued our interest, "Lily said, growing impatient to find out what Yuan was trying to say. Anna and Emma nodded at Lily''s words, curious to hear what he had to say. "Alright! Let us begin with the pill I gave Mom earlier..." He couldn''t finish his thought because Lily interrupted him in the middle of it. "Since you brought it up, I have never seen or heard of this particr medication¡ªnot even in the old books at the Mage Academy. Where did you get such a miraculous medicine, Yuan? I forgot to ask earlier." Lily inquired about the history of the drug because she was looking for a way to treat Anna''s illness in the historical medical records. Unfortunately, though, she had not found anything resembling this pill even in the ancient records from the God''s era in the library of the mage academy. Afterwards, she abandoned her efforts to find her mother a cure. But today, her younger brother gave his mother an unusual marble-sized medication. She was shocked when it actually worked. She was intrigued to learn more about the pill''s history after witnessing its remarkable effect. "Certainly, dear, I''d like to know where it came from as well. I''ve seen many different types of healing potions in my 45 years of life; some of them have a bitter or salty taste, but this was the first time I''ve consumed a medication that is solid at first and melts in the tongue. Tell us where you purchased this medication, please." As she detailed the special quality of the pill, Anna posed the question. "Is such a medicine actually exist?" Emma inquired since she was curious after overhearing their chats. "Certainly, Sister Emma. You should have been there with us when little Yuan gave mom the pill; you would have been surprised to witness the oue. "Sorry about that, Mom! But please don''t ask where I got it because I can''t say anything about it right now!" Yuan expressed his regret for not telling them the truth as he looked at them with an apologetic expression. He couldn''t simply reveal that he is a reincarnated person with a system that assists him in his cultivation by providing knowledge and a variety of other benefits. "It''s all right. Don''t worry, dear; everyone, including myself, has some secrets. I have some secrets that I don''t tell anyone... So don''t be concerned about it!" Anna exined that she wasforting him because she was his mother and knew exactly what he was thinking. Yuan replied with a nod of his head. "Hey, Nora! Is there a suitable good cultivation method for mom?" He inquired because he wanted to teach his mother about cultivation so that she could fully recover her health without wasting any time. [There is a Divine rank technique that is ideal for Anna, but it is slightly more expensive than other Divine rank techniques. Will you purchase it?] Nora inquired after testing the technique. "How much SP is it, Nora?" When he heard Nora say the word "expansive," he raised his eyebrows slightly. [Nothing significant¡ªjust 150 SP, Host!] Nora answered right away. Chapter 6 Am I Supposed To Be This Lucky? ?[Nothing significant¡ªjust 150 SP, Host!] Nora answered right away. ''Oh, it''s only 150 SP. I anticipated a much higher figure. He breathes in relief after learning how inexpensive a Divine rank technique was. "Great, I''ll take it!" He instructed Nora to purchase the technique for his mother. [Understood, Host] Nora responded. [Ding! 150 SP has been deducted! You have bought the Heavenly twin heart Manual! Please receive it from the system inventory!] [SP remains: 840] He read the name of the technique, which is nearly identical to her physique, and wondered, "Why does it sound like something that was solely created for Mom?" [That''s because this technique was designed specifically for twins. Once upon a time, during the Gods'' Era, an Empress of the Celestial Heaven gave birth to two beautiful twin girls. Later, the empress discovers that her daughters are unable to cultivate any of the techniques she has umted throughout her life, which number in the millions. Finally, she decides to create the best technique possible for her daughters, and within 100 years she has created the best technique suitable for her daughters to cultivate, the "Heavenly Twin Heart Manual," which is a Peak Divine rank technique.] Nora exined the history of the technique Yuan had just purchased. [Your mother has two hearts and two souls in a single body, and sooner orter, she will split her body into two with distinct personalities.] As she emphasized the uniqueness of her physique, Nora said. "Wouldn''t it be an issue if she split into two different individuals, each with their own will? For instance, what if one of them married a stranger after leaving the house?" Yuan questioned, worried about the potential future scenarios that woulde their way. Even though Anna was his mother in this life, he is unable to see her just as a mother because he is a virgin otaku from the earth and has recently transmigrated. [There is no need to think too much. As I searched through the previous owner''s memories, she appears to care for you as much as Anna did, but her personality is a little cold, and nothing else!] Nora reassured Yuan that his mother would be two, but she would still be herself, so he had nothing to worry about. He is relieved after hearing about Nora because he had been thinking a lot about his mother''s unique physical features. "Dear! What are you concentrating on so much?" Anna questioned as she cast a nce at Yuan, who was preupied with a notion. "Mom, there''s nothing to worry about!" After saying this, he noticed that Lily and Emma were both watching him with interest. "Nora, Are there any relevant techniques you can purchase for each of them? They would be extremely upset at me, especially Big Sis if I simply handed it to Mom." It will be an effective approach to winning Lily and Emma''s hearts, Yuan told Nora. [Your sister has the Heavenly Yin body, a Divine level physique; unfortunately, it is regrettable that she was born in this world, where people don''t even understand what cultivation is. She surely would be the holy daughter of an Ice Base sect if she were born in the cultivation world.] [She can''t cultivate right now because her body has umted a lot of mana. She must rece the mana for Qi to begin cultivating. There is only one option to switch her mana for Qi at this point because you are too weak to try any other methods, and that is to dual cultivate with her.] said, Nora. ''Duel cultivates'' He was surprised when Nora brought up the subject of dual cultivation; he is familiar with the concept due to his reading of numerous novels on the subject. "Is this the only option avable to me? What about the other procedure you just mentioned?" He questioned. There are some additional ways to convert Qi into mana, but you can''t utilize them on Lily with your present cultivation. Your cultivation level must be greater than the Spirit Emporer realms to be able to employ them. With your talent, you can indeed aplish that feat in 3 to 4 years, but if you dual cultivate, the time will be shortened, and the ways are a little risky because she could lose her life, so it''s not rmended to use.] Nora gave a thorough exnation. After hearing her exnation, he was a little bit disappointed, but he can''t deny that he wasn''t interested in her even though she is his blood rtive. As soon as he saw her for the first time after being transmigrated, he fell in love with her. He was also interested in Emma, who, in his opinion, is destined to eventually be one of his wives. Yet he is unable to persuade any of them to spend the night with him right now. "Emma, what about her? Does she share any special qualities with her mother and sister?" Yun inquired. [Because of your current low cultivation, I''m unable to perceive anything from her. She may have a secret lineage, I can only assume. Special physiques are fundamentally different from bloodlines, which have their own unique characteristics and rank in addition to the physiques. She has a 30% chance of awakening her bloodline once she cultivates, I''m certain of it!] said, Nora. ''It appears that all of my family members are very special; am I supposed to be this lucky?'' A strange smile appears on his face, but he quickly recovers hisposure. "Just buy them; I''ll talk to my family soon anyway," He asked Nora to purchase the techniques from the shop, and he will speak with them and exin the situation in Lily''s case. [Ding! 120 SP has been deducted! You have bought the Frozen body refining Scripture! Please receive it from the system inventory!] [Ding! 145 SP has been deducted! You have bought the Heavenly Serpent Body Art! Please receive it from the system inventory!] [SP remains: 575] *** After purchasing them, he turned to face the three people who were staring at him with interest. ''It wouldn''t be wise to keep them waiting any longer!'' he eximed, looking at their beautiful faces. He then pulls all three cultivation manuals from the system storage and ces them on the bed in front of their eyes. They could tell these were not ordinary books because of the formidable and profound aura the books emitted. As they examined the three books, they were all thinking the same thing: where did Yuan get these three books? "What are these books for, Young Master? They appear to be extremely priceless!" "I wonder what kind of wisdom these books contain!" While looking at the books, Lilymented. "Dear, could you please tell us what these books are for?" Anna enquired. Emma was the one to ask first because she couldn''t help but be interested in the books in front of her. Her intuition told her that the books emitted a mysterious aura that aroused her curiosity. The three books'' purposes piqued not only Emma''s interest but also that of Anna and Lily, who had no idea what they were for and were left with no choice but to stare at Yuan while seeking rification. Yuan said, looking at the three beautiful women in front of him, "Mom and Big sister! These books do not contain the knowledge you believe; instead, they contain cultivation techniques!" "..." "Cultivation methods? What exactly are they? It''s something I''ve never heard of before! Have you heard anything about this before, Mom?" Lily inquired, scratching the back of her head because she couldn''t figure out what it was. "No, I''ve never heard of such a thing; this is the first time I''ve heard of it!" Anna was identical to Lily. "I''d never heard of it either!" Emma stated. He could tell by their puzzled expressions that they didn''t understand a single word he had just said. "Mom, Big Sis, why are you being so impatient? At least wait till I finish my exnation before jumping to your conclusion!" He went on to say, "Cultivators are those who use cultivation methods to enhance their bodies and minds by absorbing spirit Qi, or the energy of Heaven and Earth, into their bodies. Cultivators are capable of splitting the sea in half with a single sword strike and can topple mountains with a single blow. The more you cultivate and achieve a breakthrough, the more powerful you be. and free themselves from the body''s mortal bonds to achieve ultimate immortality. So no matter how old you get, you''ll still look the same, "immortals" are imed to live forever and never pass away from old age." "I''m not a knight or a mage, as you can see; I''m a cultivator. As I just started cultivating today, as you can see, my level is currently very low." As he umted some spirit Qi and showcased it to them in his hand, As he spoke. "..." They are pleasantly surprised to discover that the Qi particles umted around his palm are not actually mana but rather another energy known as Qi. They then gave him weird stares as they turned to face him. "Please don''t ask me how I obtained these because I can''t tell anyone right now." He apologized profusely as he told them. "Dear, I won''t ask if you don''t feelfortable answering, but I do want to know if those books are for us(?)." Anna enquired while giving Yuan a head nod. Lily and Emma turn to face Yuan when they hear Anna ask a question and wait for his response. "It''s for you, of course!" He then turned to Anna, holding out the Heavenly Twin Heart Manual, and said, "Mom, this method is known as the "Heavenly Twin Heart Manual" You have a unique Mythic Rank physique known as the "Twin Heart Soul Body," and because of this physique, you have been ill for years because the body requires Qi to maintain itself. This technique is therefore very appropriate for you. Once you be a cultivator, you should already be aware of the reason behind your dual personality. You can split apart into two individuals once your cultivation level reaches a particr point. I won''t exin the body right now, but once you start cultivating, you''ll understand it." "Huh?... Mom, do you really have two personalities?" Astonished, Lily questioned. "Well, I probably should have told you earlier, but I couldn''t bring myself, to be honest. As Yuan stated, I have two personalities; one of them is Grace and the other is me, Anna, and we both love you equally. So, There is no need to consider it too much." Anna admitted that she had two personalities and had wanted to tell them from the start but couldn''t bring herself to do so. She sighed. "Mom and Emma, here, take it and read this bookter while sitting on crossed legs in a lotus position; you have to follow the book and do as it says; it will take some time for you toprehend it; you may even need to read it again and again toprehend the technique," Yuan said as he gave the cultivation method to his mother and Emma. "Thanks, Dear/Young master! "They said at the same time. ''Sigh! To be called "Young Master" is a little awkward...'' He shakes his head and lets out an internal sigh. ¦Ñ¦Á§ád¦Á n?¦Ía| §ãom He was thanked with kisses on each side of his cheek by Emma and his mother before they removed the books from him. His virgin heart pretty much failed him after receiving kisses from two stunning women, causing his younger brother to rise under his trouser. ''Damn! These are too hot for a virgin like me to handle!'' Yuan felt his little brother awaken from a long slumber in his trousers, and he yelled in his mind. "Hey, little Yuan, did you forget about me?" Lily questioned him after being ignored and not receiving any advice from him. "I also have a technique for you, but I can''t share it with you just yet." Yuan retorted. "And why is that so? Do you think I''m unfit for cultivation?" Averting her eyes from him, Lily questioned. Her disappointment was palpable, and her visage darkened as if a bolt of thunder had just struck her. "You can''t cultivate until the mana in your body is reced with Qi, which is because you train your mana and that you are a three-circle mage, which has a lot of mana stored inside of it." Yuan gave her the reasons why she is currently unable to cultivate. Chapter 7 Spirit Warrior ?"You can''t cultivate until the mana in your body is reced with Qi, which is because you train your mana and that you are a three-circle mage, which has a lot of mana stored inside of it." Yuan gave her the reasons why she is currently unable to cultivate. "Huh?... Aren''t mana and Qi the same thing?" Lily inquired because she assumed the mana and qi mentioned by Yuan were the same things. "No! Big sister, It differs from one another. Qi is far more superior and profound than the mana that magicians use to cast their spells, and Qi is the essence of life and a form of energy created by heaven and earth. You can''t start cultivating because it''s likeparing a gold coin to a copper coin." Lily was informed by Yuan about the distinction between mana and qi as well as the reasons why, as a magician, she was unable to begin cultivating at this time. The amount of Qi in this world is abundant because there are no cultivators to absorb it in the air, which is supervised by mages and knights. Mages train their mana to increase the capacity of their hearts to hold mana, and knights train their bodies with mana to break the limitations of their bodies and refine the mana in their auras to improve their overall strength. She could understand why she couldn''t cultivate after hearing his exnation, and she was slightly disappointed. She then inquired, "Yuan, little Yuan! Is there no other way so I can also cultivate?" "Shouldn''t there be a way for Lily to cultivate?" Anna inquired, looking at her daughter''s sad expression, expecting a positive response from him. ''Should I exin the concept of dual cultivation to them so Lily can also do it? Yet, the main question is, Will they ept this method?'' Yuan nced at their dejected expressions for a minute and thought. "Sigh! There is only one way to make her a cultivator, but I have a feeling you won''t want to hear it. The only way to rece the mana in my sister''s body with Qi is to dual cultivate with me, which entails engaging in intimate acts between a male and a female. Nevertheless, I will tell you so that there will be no misunderstandings between us. There is just no other option; I realize it''s disgusting to say, but it''s the only solution avable to us." At first, Yuan stated with a sigh, he didn''t want to tell them out loud, but he was forced to. He doesn''t want them to misunderstand each other if he doesn''t let them know, since that would be really unfortunate. The three of them bent their heads in shame as they flushed while listening to him discuss sex. "Dear, Is there a different option besides having sex with you?" Anna questioned while covering her somewhat flushed face with her hands. "The only option, Mama! I''m not kidding about this since it''s a serious matter." "I know you won''t lie to me, but will Lily approve of this approach?" Yuan has never lied to Anna even once, so she hasplete faith in her son. Anna is aware that Yuan won''t joke about something this significant. ''Huh?...having sex with little Yuan?... Several families have such a rtionship among their family members to maintain the purity of their bloodline, even though it is rather wrong. How can I refuse it when I''ve heard how marvelous cultivation is?'' While having sex with her younger brother was apletely new experience for her, Lily questioned whether she would consent to it. "I agree!" Lily suddenly responded. ''Huh? Did I hear right or am I hearing things?'' Before turning to face Lily, he pondered in perplexity. When they heard Lily''s responses, they all turned around and looked at her with bewildered expressions. ''Did I hear that right?'' These are the thoughts Anna and Emma are having. "I said that if the dual cultivation thing really works, I would ept to do it with Little Yuan, but only if he agrees to my one condition!" Lily spoke while her face flushed and she lowered her head to avoid making eye contact with him. "WHAT! She agreed so quickly...? Nora, please tell me I''m not dreaming!" Yuan''s mind screamed in disbelief upon hearing Lily''s words. [I can assure the host that you are not mishearing her; she actually stated it, and it doesn''t appear that she is forcing herself either! She stated that with sincerity.] He was not dreaming, Nora assured him. "Dear, are you certain of your choice? You know, once you''ve done it, you can''t go back on it." Lily was questioned by Anna about whether or not she really wanted to do it with Yuan and wasn''t just forcing herself to do it for cultivation. "Are you certain, youngdy? I am aware that many people have this kind of rtionship, but are you certain, young miss?" Emma questioned Lily since she was worried about her as well. "No, Mom and Sister Emma, I''m not forcing myself to do anything! I mean it seriously! "They believed her because of the seriousness in her voice as she spoke. ''I won''t be a virgin for much longer, it seems...'' He heard their conversations and thought. [Host, I share this opinion as well! However be careful not to dual cultivate with her until you are in the Spirit Warrier world because she is a three-circle mage with a tonne of mana, which will put a tonne of strain on your body.] Yuan nodded sympathetically as Nora emphasized the need for the reminder. Anna then turned to face Yuan and questioned, "Do you understand what your sister said? So, what are your thoughts? Are you prepared to carry out the deed with your sister and ept her condition?" It''s not something to take lightly, so she inquired with seriousness. Even though Lily is his biological sister, she will happily ept Yuan''s desire to make her his wife. "Do I have any other options? But first, I''d like to know about the condition." Yuan stated that since he is not a fool, he cannot consent to a condition without first understanding what it entails. "My condition is fairly straightforward. You must assume full responsibility for me and eventually marry me in the future!" Lily hurriedly hid behind her mother''s back after saying it with a flushed face out of embarrassment. ''This is so embarrassing, ahhh!'' murmured, wanting to dig a hole to hide out because she was embarrassed. "Do you think I''m one of those aristocratic brats that treat women like toys and discard them once they''ve had their fill? I will ept full responsibility for everything because I am not one of those goddamn Noble brats!" Yuan stated as he gave her a tender, affectionate hug. "R Really... Little Yuan? You''re not going to abandon me in the future, are you? As she was giving him a hug and crying, she questioned. "Big Sis, you have my word that I won''t ever abandon you. even if Iter attract many women!" He said that polygamy is very prevalent in this society and that most men have at least one or two women as concubines in their lives as he made amitment to her. "I...I am really happy Little Yuan, I was wrong when I assumed that you wouldn''t give a damn about me in the future! Little Yuan, I''m very happy right now! She gave him a really loving hug since hearing his vow to her made her feel incredibly joyful. They exchanged brief hugs with one another. "That''s enough you two!" As she watched Yuan and Lily embrace, Annamented while feeling a little envious. ''Why am I behaving in this way? Am I jealous of my daughter, or is it something else? There is nothing else, he is my son, but he is too handsome! What even am I thinking?'' She shouts to herself, unaware that she is beginning to feel attracted to her own son romantically. ''It appears that Mistress is envious of her own kids, fufufu!'' Emma chuckled as she observed Anna''s face of resentment and thought to herself. "Mom! Because he is hugging me and not you, are you jealous?" Even though Lily and Emma were the only girls allowed to approach Yuan when she was just five years old, Lily admitted that she was aware of how overly cautious her mother could be. "Well, are you now rubbing salt in your mother''s wound? I guess I need to remind you of our agreement from back then!" Anna scowled at Lily as she spoke. Lily lowered her head and stepped away from Yuan, saying, "No need; I remember it quite well. ''What agreement are they referring to?'' He pondered as he cast a questioning nce at his mother. The situation became more enigmatic when Anna saw his observant look on her and simply smiled mysteriously at him. ''What might she be concealing? Why don''t I have any recollection of it, then?'' As he couldn''t think of anything relevant to it, he asked himself this. [Host! You won''t need to consider this too much because you''ll know when the timing is right!] said Nora. He learned through the memories of the previous Yuan that nobility is the worst scum in this world and doesn''t give a damn about ordinary life. Most aristocrats have an extremely lusty and greedy attitude toward attractivedies. He needs to watch out for the Nobles'' deceitful kid. He was quite certain that they would cause a disturbance if they ever saw his gorgeous sister and mother. "Umm! I was wondering when we would be practicing dual cultivation, Little Yuan." With a flushed expression of embarrassment, Lily enquired. "You need to wait until I make a breakthrough into the realm of spirit warriors before we can do that," Yuan spoke in a gentle tone, which caused Lily to flush even more. "I will go and cultivate a bit till dinner is ready; I advise you do the same, Mom, and your treatment is cultivation; you should remember it very well," he remarked as he stood up from the bed and moved towards the door. Without giving them the time to respond, he said as much and left the room. **** Yuan sits in the lotus position once more for meditation in his room while seated on the floor. He draws in a big breath and then shuts both of his eyes. He then activates the ''Consuming Heaven Skill'' to absorb the surrounding Qi. <5/2000> <950/2000> <2000/2000> <5/3000> <3000/3000> <5/4000> <4000/4000> <5/5000> <2865/5000> <5000/5000> <5/6000> <4800/6000> <6000/6000> <5/7000> <2590/7000> <4860/7000> <7000/7000> <5/8000> <4500/8000> <8000/8000> <5/9000> <5780/9000> <9000/9000> <5/10000> <5900/10000> <8790/10000> <10000/10000> p¦Ánd¦Á,no¦Í?1,§ão§® _ _ ____ Yuan felt as though his body had be as light as a feather once he had attained the realm of the spiritual warrior. He sensed a great deal of spiritual energy, or Qi, expanding inside of him; he felt like he was beaming with energy and was no longer tired as before. Despite having no physical changes, he felt his body bing stronger and more refined; it was an incredible sensation for him that he couldn''t adequately express in words. [Congrattions to the Host for reaching the Spirit Warrior realm within a day, you have simply achieved an unbelievable feat Host!] Nora congrattes him. Chapter 8 Did I Get An Egg As My Wife? ?[Congrattions to the Host for reaching the Spirit Warrior realm within a day, you have simply achieved an unbelievable feat Host!] Nora congrattes him. "Nora, it''s all because of you! If you hadn''t been by my side, I wouldn''t have been able to aplish such a feat, and my mother would have died!" Yuan humbly expressed his gratitude to Nora for being with him; one should know when to be humble, and he is well aware that without Nora, he would be nothing more than a pitiful loser in this world of talents. [Host! You''re exaggerating; it''s what you''ve aplished with your talent, and don''t give all the credit to me for nothing, as I''m just a tool to assist you!] Nora stated. Yuan appears to be a little too humble for her. "But I don''t just see you as a tool, Nora. You are a person to me, a friend who assists me!" [Thank you for thinking of me as a friend, and host! Aside from that, why don''t you check your system storage? You haven''t looked at the other rewards you received, nor have you looked at some of the system pop-ups.] Nora reminded him of the rewards he''d gotten as part of the starter gift pack; aside from the cultivation technique, he hadn''t looked at the other items. ¦Ñ¦Á§ád¦Á n?¦Ía| §ãom "Since you brought it up, I almost forgot to check about those prizes because I was so enthused about the whole cultivation process." He imed that even though he was conscious of the earlier rewards, he neglected to check them because he was eager to engage in cultivation in the flesh after reading about how amazing cultivators are. "First, Nora, show me the specifics of those notifications!" [Alright!] Nora said. _
