Chapter 2- Heavenly Bodies Transformation!
It has been two months in my infant captivity. I haven't found much information, and learning my new family's language as proved to be much harder than I originally thought. Well I can't blame anyone since I tried to crawl my way to adventure, and find something similar to a library.
However I was found out by a maid in the halls. My mother nearly lost it and had me placed under watchful eye ever since. I'm still allotted my quality time to move around and be with my family, but it feels like I'm a prisoner. I've tried multiple times to escape, but I'm always caught and brought back.
At this rate it would be easier to kill an immortal emperor with one punch than to escape my mother's watchful eye. As I have no other way to pass time I review my past life and experiences.
Although there are some blurry parts, I can still easily remember the techniques and skills I used. I remember the countless battles I have weathered through. And the numerous life and death situations that forged my way of life.
Those all form who I am, but I am no longer me, I have a new body and a new life. I am confident I am no longer in the Divine Sky Continent, and have traveled to a completely new world. Do I have to give up the Dao of cultivation? No, that represents who I am. If I can't choose between one life or the other, I will choose both!
'Although I am in a new world, I still have ways to cultivate.' I reconfirm my conviction as I squeeze my chubby baby hands. A fierce light unbefitting of my age radiates through my eyes.
However there is just one small problem, I am too young to begin cultivating Qi! My meridians and baby body won't be able to handle any strenuous activity!
I am not discouraged though. I remember a method that doesn't need Qi or a trained body to execute. In fact right now is the prime time to use it!
It is called [Heavenly Bodies Transformation]. I found the heaven defying manual in an old, abandoned temple in a very tattered state. I believed it to be treasure and after I analyzed it throughly I had put together the main ideas and concepts of the skill, but there were still some important things left out.
I realized the skill doesn't involve any condensation of Qi, and rather uses Nature energy! Only immortals can use Nature energy to supplement their bodies, but this technique allows one to begin cultivating it while still a mortal!
The drawback is that it is more suitable to practice this technique when young. When I found it in my past life I was already hundreds of years old with less then mediocre talent, but it still allowed me to become an immortal with my hard work and persistence. However now, I am still an infant, and a prime chance is right before me! I decide to start cultivating right away as soon as the maid watching me falls asleep.
I quickly bring up my memories of the technique and review it. Information begins to flood my baby brain and I nearly blank out for a second.
Do I remember this much about the [Heavenly Bodies Transformation]? I review the information that seemed new to me, yet old as if I was originally familiar with it.
Odd. Definitely odd, I do not remember the technique having 7 layers. I vividly remember the four layers I studied from the tattered manual, but I wonder why an extra three layers are in my memories as well.

As the maid who was watching over me falls asleep, I decide now is not the time to study the unknown and begin to cultivate the [Heavenly Bodies Transformation].
Taking in a breath I feel the circulation of Nature energy. The familiar energy, from the time when I was an immortal, doesn't slow down and begins to leave when I exhale. However before it could escape I start to utilize the technique. The Nature energy stops and mysteriously gets pulled back into my dantian. It slowly circulates and starts to congeal together in the center of my dantian.
It forms a blurry shape of a infant and it shines a faint almost nonexistent light. I repeat the steps once again and the shape and light become sharper. The hours of night pass quickly and the sun rises in the sky.
I wake up fully rested after a full night of meditation and quickly check the Nature energy infant in my dantian. It has a fairly stable shape and is giving off a good amount of light. I nod approvingly at the amount of work I accomplished in one night.
The maid, who had normally monitored my movements, had left my room early in the morning and my mother was sitting in a chair next to my crib. She smiled warmly at me when she saw me wake. I could feel her love whenever she had the time to come.
I knew she has a busy schedule because every time she comes she has dark bags underneath her eyes. Father hasn't come to see me for awhile though. I still cannot understand the language, but spending time with my mother I can sometimes understand her feelings.
Then again it could just be my two month old body reacting to my mother. I have also noticed that I have been born into a very well off family. From the fact that we have maids and that my sheets are made from a high quality silk.
"How are you Glen? Did you sleep well?" My mother leans over me and asks in what I would describe as a cutesy voice. Based on the fact that I have a mentality of a being with thousands of years of experience, I am very unsettled by it. My displeasure seemed to show on my childish feature and my mother started to panic.
She hurriedly waved her hands trying to quell what she believed was my anger. Then suddenly I felt the movement of Nature energy from her hands and a ball of fire formed and floated between her hands!
What?! She's only a mortal right?! How can she use Nature energy?! My surprise clearly shows on my face, and she laughed while moving the ball of fire between her fingertips. I intently study the phenomenon that she so effortlessly produced.
Although it was only a small amount of Nature energy and very weak in power, she still is able to use Nature energy while being a mortal! This new found discovery for me gave rise to many questions in my head. This only further solidified my idea that this world is nowhere close to my old one.
"Come on Glen, it's time to eat." I hear my mother's heavenly voice again and she brings closer to her bosom. Repeating the mantra of 'I'm a baby' over and over again as I am breast fed, I am able to get through the embarrassing process.
After I had finished my meal my mother tidies herself up and leaves while kissing my forehead. I quietly watch her leave and try to escape my crib while there's time before the maids come. However to no avail, these maids have got me on lockdown once again.
Not having anything better to do I remember to check the three new layers on the [Heavenly Bodies Transformation] technique. What I found nearly made me scream out in shock. The three new layers were cultivation techniques, but not just any cultivation techniques; they each were related to specific levels of a cultivator's cultivation! To find a method that connects each level of cultivation is beyond lucky it is incredibly difficult!
I greedily looked at the specifics of the three layers. The more I read the more excited I became. As long as my cultivation increases I can keep transforming my body into different heavenly physiques! And each of them would coexist together thus allowing me to mix different heaven defying abilities!
This was simply a godly cultivation technique! As long as I follow this technique I would easily become unparalleled!
I am now extremely restless and my baby body is trembling from excitement. Seeing my condition the maid worriedly comes and checks on me. I try to contain myself not letting another outburst as she made sure nothing was wrong.
I calm my thundering thoughts. I cannot reach the heavens in a single step. I realize that rushing would do no good, and I start taking in Nature energy once again. Step by step, following the directions for the technique.
I finally have a way to the apex. I will not give up this second chance! I once again clench my plushy hands and train hard in the [Heavenly Bodies Transformation] technique.
