Chapter 2: Where Am I?

Chapter 2: Where Am I?

In the Northern District, there is a place called the Tang Prefecture. In this area, snow falls constantly throughout the year. The snow white mountains are said to be one of the greatest attractions of this prefecture. The beauty of this scene cannot be denied since tourists and cultivators come here throughout the entire year because of the peacefulness of the scene.  However, that is very odd since the weather can freeze any man to death in a few minutes.

In this freezing weather, a man was running. This man had long white hair and was very handsome. You could not tell the age of this man from just looking at him because he seemed as if he was in his prime. All that man was wearing was a robe. He looked like he could not even feel the cold.

The place the man was heading to was a huge mansion. The mansion was also very decorated and seemed to suit the beauty of the man as well. It looked as if it was perfect without the slightest scratch on it.

However, the man did not notice any of this features. He was in a great hurry as if the world was about to end. As soon as he arrived at the main gate of the mansion, he snapped his fingers and they opened.

As soon as the doors opened, there was a huge snow-white wolf there to greet him. The wolf had blue eyes and was completely white-furred. It had a troubled look that did not match his appearance.

"Xiao Yun, it seems the baby is about to be delivered."

The snow-white wolf said this worriedly.

"What? It's too early for this. Still, thank you for telling me quickly, Hong."

Xiao Yun quickly ran inside the mansion with lots of worry on his face. It was his first child and he couldn't help but be nervous. He was also very worried about his wife because his wife carried a higher risk of survival when birth occurred.

"I must be there in time for the birth."

He ran inside the bedroom to find his wife on the bed. There was also a doctor beside her.

"Elder Brother Mubai, will my dear Xiao Li be alright?"

Xiao Yun knew the doctor, Ling Mubai, very well. He knew he was the best doctor in the prefecture, but he could not help but worry.

"Younger Brother Yun, it will be alright. It seems as if the baby will be delivered safely."

As soon as Mubai said this, Xiao Yun's mood brightened up. He then went to his wife's bedside and held her hand.

"Please stay strong, Xiao Li."

Xiao Li, his wife, smiled back at him.

"It will be alright, Yun. Both my baby and I shall survive."

Xiao San was shocked.

He had trusted the cat and it had killed him. Now he was floating in this dark abyss of nothingness. The abyss seemed to last forever and he could not tell how long he had floated in the abyss for.

"I should curse that cat for eternity. It probably ate my soul."

Xiao San's anger against the cat did not subside no matter how many hours had passed. What annoyed him the most was that he was existing in an ethereal form. He could not move or speak. Xiao San could only curse the cat in his mind. He couldn't even sleep.

"Is there any existence as bad as this?"

His whining continued for a long time. Xiao San could not do anything else.

Suddenly, a light shone in the dark abyss. Xiao San could instantly see it. His ethereal form instantly went toward because he believed anything was better than the dark abyss he was in. As soon as he touched it, he instantly lost consciousness.

The whole abyss shone with a golden light and the ethereal form of Xiao San disappeared.

When Xiao San regained consciousness, he felt very different. He could not move or do anything.

"Huh! Where am I? This definitely isn't the abyss."

Soon, Xiao San felt as if he had a body. He felt that he had the ability to move no matter how little. Then, he opened the eyes that he realized were closed.

"Huh! Who is that giant?"

That was what Xiao San thought as soon as he opened his eyes. As soon as he did, he saw a huge giant with beautiful blue eyes and long white hair. The giant was holding him.

"Wait, could I have reincarnated? Then, the cat told me the truth. Then that means this man is my father."

Once he realized this, he quit cursing the cat and began to look at his surroundings. The man who was his father seemed to him as if he was very strong. He gave of a cold aura. But, you could see a little bit of love in the man's eyes.

"My father seems to be very strong. Maybe, I can be strong as well. At least, the cat helped my life a little bit."

For the first time, Xiao San thanked the cat. He was grateful because he started to believe his destiny could be changed.

"Yun, I think you're scaring our child."

Then, Xiao San realized there was a female next to his father. She had jet black hair and alluring red eyes. In the Rhine Continent, Xiao San thought people would do war for such a beauty.

"So, she is my mother."

Xiao San continued to thank the cat because he started to see promise in his life.

"Xiao Li, even if he is a child, the tougher he is, the better."

Xiao Yun wanted his child to be strong, He wished for him to surpass him.

"Yun, what should we call our child?"

Xiao San also began to wonder what his new name would be.

"What about Xiao San?"

"That sounds perfect."

Xiao Li liked that name as much as she liked her child. She smiled at Xiao San and took him from Xiao Yun's hands.

"Eh, my name is the same."

Xiao San was surprised how reincarnation worked, but he realized this would make things easier.

"Still, where am I?"

That was the big question in his mind because he wanted to know what his family was like. He realized that both Xiao Yun and Xiao Li were different and should be cultivators. So he believed that he finally received some luck.

"Depending on where I live and who I am, I might be able to make a name for myself in this life. However, why do I not feel my cultivation?"

No matter how weak his cultivation was, it was the sum of a 100 years of hard work. He did not want to lose that hard work, no matter how meager it was. Still, the cat had not lied so far, so he had reason to believe it would work out somehow.

"Xiao Li, we should head to the Prefecture mansion of Lord Tang. He shall place the seal of the heavens on this boy. We must do this quickly or he might be rejected by the Heaven Realm and descend to the Mortal Realm. That happened to a child in the Southern Prefecture."

Xiao Yun was in a hurry because he did not want his son to face any problems. He wanted the boy to possess the mark of the Heavens as quickly as possible. While this was happening, Xiao San's mind was shocked.

"Heaven Realm. I was reborn in the realm of the Immortals."
