In the western lands of the Cloudsea Country, on a cliff of Westwind Mountain, a child of 5-6 years old was sitting cross legged while steadily breathing in and out.
This child was the Third Young Master of the Tang Clan, Tang Santian. Although Tang Santian was only a child, he was given the title of "genius" as he was already at peak of the Houtian level despite being so young. In fact, lots of people, including his parents, grandparents, uncles, aunties, and cousins even thought that he was the number one genius in all of Cloudsea Country!
Most children at his age in the Cloudsea Country would be somewhere in the earlier stages of the Houtian level, but he was already at the peak, the level where teens who were double of his age were at.
Not even the First Young Master of the Tang Clan, Tang Santian's cousin, Tang Yitian who was already 13 years old and at the late stages of the Houtian level, could compete with in terms of talent.
As a genius with sky-high pride, Tang Yitian usual doesn't lower his head. However, he was wise for his age and could see that his younger cousin was far more brilliant than him so he backed down. Of course, he was still a genius and thus could inherit the "Patriarch" position or even become the "Grand Elder" someday.
The talent of Tang Santian caused countless waves in the Tang Clan and even brew storms in the Cloudsea Country.
However, Tang Santian had a secret that was far more shocking that his talent. And that secret is the fact that he's a reincarnator! Actually, he's not just a reincarnator; he's a reincarnator who came from another universe and obtain the memories of many immortal cultivators!
In his past life, Tang Santian was actually a guy name Adrian. Adrian was your every-day-otaku who loved animes and mangas. However, the great and mighty "Truck-san" killed him while he was walking. His last words?
"You ran over a red light goddamnit!"
Now reincarnated in a new world and inherited the memories of various powerful cultivator, Adrian had only one goal.
"Since I am the chosen one, I shall kick back, relax, and watch as I naturally ascend to godhood!"
Or at least, that was his goal.
"What the hell is with this universe? All of the techniques and cultivation manual that I have really doesn't suit this place at all!"
Although he had the secret arts and divine abilities of several powerhouses, Adrian found out that it was extremely hard to use the "Dao" and cultivate here.
However he later realized something. Within his soul was a small lotus. This lotus was actually a treasure from one of the souls that he got. This lotus was green in color and held a mysterious power within it. When he absorbs the energy of this universe called "true essence", the green lotus would convert that energy into a green mist. This green mist was actually more powerful than the divine power and immortal-ki from the other universe and was definitely more powerful than the true essence that existed here!
This green mist could be further converted into drops, but with his current body and power, Adrian could only convert the true essence in his body into small amounts of green mist.
But that didn't matter to him since he had so many cheats already!
He breathe in and out slowly as he face the sun. Currently, Adrian was training in a cultivation technique called [Divine Asura Idol]. This was a body-refining technique that could allow someone to train all the way to the World level and become a World God!
In the previous universe of the Endless Territories, there were three ways to cultivate: ki refining, body refining, and heartforce cultivating.
Ki refining meant to cultivate immortal-ki, body refining meant to cultivate the body to be tougher and purer, and heartforce refining meant to refine the heart by experiencing countless things.
Of the three ways, heartforce cultivating was the most uncommon and mysterious. While many cultivator had trained in heartforce to one or two stages, very few had entered the sixth stage and be called a true Heartforce Cultivator!
However, to the reach the sixth stage of heartforce that few had ever done was something Adrian aspire. He wished to be a triple refiner and thus cultivates all three paths. After reincarnating, his ambition has truly went beyond the heavens!
This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.
For body refining, Adrian was currently practicing the [Divine Asura Idol]; for ki-refining, he was practicing the [Inner Stellar World] that could train him up to become a Chaos Immortal, while for heartforce, he was learning the [Realm of the Heart] that could also train him up to the max level.
The [Inner Stellar World] was rather easy to understand as it only requires certain mastery over the Dao and certain levels of energy to break through the next stage. Adrian already had certain mastery over some daos from the memories he got.
As for energy? What could be better than the green power of the green lotus?
The cultivation levels back in the Endless Territories were: Houtian, Xiantian, Zifu Disciple, Wanxiang Adept, Primal, Void, Celestial Immortal/Empyrean God, True Immortal/True God, Ancestral Immortal/Elder God, Chaos Immortal/World God, Samsara Daolord, and Eternal Emperor.
As of right now, his current stats are: Xiantian body refiner, ninth stage Houtian Ki-refiner, and at the stage 1 of Heartforce.
As he is right now, though he is reputed to be at the peak of the Houtian-level, his current fighting power could match against the peak-level Xiantian martial artist of this world.
With his current knowledge, the levels of cultivation in this world are: Houtian, Xiantian, Revolving Core, Life-Destruction, and Divine Sea.
In this world, ki-refining was known as essence gathering system while body refining was known as body transformation system, while soul force was something similar to heartforce cultivating, but former wasn't as profound and stronger as the latter. At least, that's what Adrian thought.
Unfortunately, in this world, the body transformation system wasn't that popular either and so there were very few body refiner and Adrian had limited knowledge regarding said system.
"Third Young Master, the Second Lord has called for you for breakfast." A maid silently approached him and said.
Adrian nodded his head and said, "Thanks."
.....
Within the dining hall of a large wooden manor, three people were sitting at a table and eating a meal. There was a man, a woman, and Adrian.
The man was handsome and refined. He wore a silky black robe that gave him the appearance of a noble and his long black hair was held up in a ponytail by a blue hair tie. His presence was warm and gave people a relaxed feeling.
However, sitting beside him was a woman who was the opposite. She wore a sky-blue robe and had enchanting white hair. But, her expression was icy and cold like the deepest of hells. She sat there like a glacier while eating in small portions. By her side was a jade sword that that glowed with faint golden color and surrounded in a thin but visible white mist.
These two were Adrian's parents: Tang Huotian and Meng Yue.
"How has cultivating the [Myriad Star Art] been for you, son?" Tang Huotian said.
"Fine." The [Myriad Star Art] was the essence gathering cultivation manual that Adrian received and what everyone thought Adrian was cultivating. Of course, he was actually cultivating the [Inner Stellar World], but no one noticed.
"Hm. From what I can see, you'll probably enter Xiantian in about a week, right?" His father asked again.
"Nope, I can probably do it today."
Adrian's casual tone shocked his parent greatly. Entering Xiantian today? Kid, aren't you only 5 year old? You're still drinking milk, you know!
"You only achieved peak-level Pulse Condensation a few days ago! You should wait it out and let your meridian flood with true essence-"
"No, he should do it today." Meng Yue interrupted Tang Huotian, "His meridian are already flooded with true essence. Anymore and they might implode."
Tang Huotian took a moment to look at Adrian and said, "Ah, already!"
Adrian giggled in his heart. The power of the green lotus was something overpowered, even in the Endless Territories. Just by converting all of his true essence into the green mist, he could easily breakthrough to any stages or reach the peak-level of it.
The only thing that's slowing him down in ki-refining is the limited amount of green mist inside him. To further convert more true essence to the green mist, Adrian would have to make his body stronger to hold more power. Thus, Adrian would go slow on ki-refining and focus more on body refining just to build up more space for the green power.
While Tang Huotian was still in shock, Meng Yue put her bowl and chopsticks down and said, "San'er, hurry and go to your room to breakthrough."
Adrian stood up, nodded, and returned back to his room down on the lower floors.
"Honey, what do you think of this?" Tang Huotian said to his wife.
Meng Yue thought for a moment. "He definitely has a special physique, but it's not something I know of. I even look through the 'Divine Bodies and Special Physiques' book and nothing matches up. The only one that came close was the 'Heavenly Qi Revolution' physique, but his speed his far quicker than what the physique was described as."
"Perhaps this is a new physique?" Tang Huotian felt ecstatic as he said that.
"Perhaps." A smile formed on Meng Yue's face. If their child truly had a special physique and could cultivate well, he would definitely be a strong figure in the future.
Although they weren't wrong, Meng Yue and Tang Huotian could never have imagine that their son's physique was something that completed defied the laws of the universe. If they knew that the current him go grow over ten meters now and even larger in the future or completely healed an amputated arm within several weeks, what would they think?
.....
Within the Tang Huotian's manor, Adrian was sitting cross-legged in his room, meditating. Fiery and icy lotuses was swirling around him as he revolve the green mist in his body and all over his meridian.
Suddenly, the green mist went berserk and poured out of his body. However, Adrian was calm. In fact, he was smiling.
"Good, I've finally entered Xiantian as a ki-refiner. Seems like cultivating is quite easy."
