MODIFIED VERSION WITH SLIGHT CHANGES IN STYLE AND STORY

In front of Chi Lang was Chi Luo Ren with his gentle and loving smile plastered on his face, his dirt blond hair was cut short, his eyes were no more clouded, he was still handsome even tough he was in his thirties.

Chi Lang hands started shaking and his mind went blank, memories of his 'Father'  resurfaced, always smiling to him even when it was said that he didn't have any special talent in martial arts like his brother or when they discovered his disease, a man who is always smiling and loving his family equally and genuinely, but he also remembered how he killed my family and smiled with the same smile.

Emotions battled in Chi Lang soul, from a side he was his family killer, from the other he was his father.

Chi Lang resolve was made, he had to kill him.

Chi Lang tried sending water earth ki, as he was in the Earth Realm seventh stage when he died, this was his strongest attack, but instead of his usual sky blue ki nothing came out.

When someone practice in a certain environment or eat a special type of pill rich of a certain element power, he can fuse his Ki with the elemental power, thus creating a new type of ki, those who can do it are little, because you have to form your core from the start in this manner and fuse every particle of an elemental spark with exactly 7 particles of KI, if you add more KI and less element its effects will be bland and of little help for your cultivation, but if you ever put too much element in you KI, you will lose your mind and become possessed by the element.

The types of elements power that can be fused with the KI are subdivided in 4 principal types:

Fire: This type of elemental power is the essence of flames that devour everything, it has raw force and speed equally good, it's one of the easier type of elements to be controlled. It can be found in deserts, volcanoes and various type of 'flame pills'.

Water: This element is the peacefulness of the seas but it is also the raw power of flooding rivers, this element utilize a scheme of defending until an opening is available and then striking with all the power you have. It can be found in the rivers, seas and in the various 'water pills'.

Stone: Defence is the best Attack, this element is steady and solid like the earth that we have under our feet, it's peaceful and everlasting, the practitioner of this element will have impregnable defence that puts the others at shame. It can be found in deep caves, thousands year old fossils and in the various 'stone pills'

Wind: This elements is the impersonation of speed, if you practice this element, you can with a movement of you foot find yourself miles away. It can be found in high mountains, clouds and in the various 'wind pills'.

Chi Lang panicked not finding my ki, so he analyzed his dantian.

Inside his dantian he didn't found his previous blue core, only the void essence that he collected in the void instead of being in his soul was in his dantian, but the equilibrium KI was locked. Chi Lang thought that it's because this body previous owner only reached the 900 Jin stage, his talent was very bad, he was 16 and didn't even manage to arrive to the 1500 Jin stage when his fellow disciple of the same age were at the 2000 Jin stage.

Chi Lang was powerless in front of his family killer, he was powerless in front of his father.

"Xiao Lang are you alright? It's another attack of the 'blood chilling cold' ? "

The blood chilling cold is a disease that attacks at random times by chilling your blood and bones, the intensity of the attack varies greatly, it can make your blood more dense or it can freeze your bones to the point where they break, the only cure known is absorbing fire ki to balance the cold, but as Chi Lang was still at the 'Body straightening Realm' he couldn't cultivate earth essence to blend with the fire ki.

Chi Lang wanted to attack him utilizing a soul attack but if Chi Luo Ron won who knows when the next time Chi Lang would exit the void is?

"No father, I am just a little tired"

In that moment Chi Lang emotions swayed a little, in this life he was his father and Chi Lang his son, in his past life he was the betrayer and Chi Lang the betrayed.

But resolve returned to him as he remembered when Chi Luo Ron smiled and showed me Chi Lang father's head. Chi Lang closed his hands until his nails penetrated the skin of his palms.

"Come and sit then"

Chi Lang did as his father ordered him, he went to the chair between his sister and his mother, and sat down.

They started eating, and chatting, although Chi Lang never talked and answered the questions with a 'Yes' or a 'No'. Chi Lang would have never imagined that the moment when he would eat with his family killer like a family would come.

After eating, Chi Lang was going to stand up and go to his room to organize his thoughts, when his father started speaking.

"Xiao Lang when are you returning to the 'fire lotus sect'? "

The sects are organizations of cultivators that form braches all around the continent to recruit more cultivators and nurture the young talents, some sects are small while others like the' Fire lotus sect' big enough to compete with the royal family, in this life Chi Lang was a cultivator in a branch of the 'Fire lotus sect'  400 miles away.

"The next month, father. "

"Go and show them what is better between talent and hard work"

Chi Lang father was really loving to the point that his hate for him subdued a little.

But death was the only possible result in this clash, fueled by revenge and Jealousy.

"Father what are those scars that you have in your hand? Why don't you erase them? "

Chi Lang little sister asked his father, her name was Chi Fei, she was 15 years old with beautiful raven hairs and blue eyes, her face resembled a less mature version of mother, her talent for cultivating was very evident, she was younger than me but already at the 2000 Jin stage.

Chi Lang father looked slightly depressed and gloomy when Chi Fei asked him about the scars.

"It's a reminder of how foolish I was, because the mind may forget but the body remembers"

Silence fell on the launch room.

He seemed repentant, Chi Lang emotions swayed a little more, but he didn't want to forget the pain and the sorrow that he gave him.

Chi Lang got up and went to his room, closed the door, sat on the bed and started thinking about what to do and what happened when he entered this body. Chi came to the conclusion that his soul found this body almost dead, probably because of the 'blood chilling cold' and as they were compatible in some way, probably because he didn't have a core and his physique was similar to that of Chi Lang, so his soul fused with this body former one and managed to overtake the body as Chi Lang soul was stronger than the former body soul, but the soul of the former 'Chi Lang' didn't disperse instead was assimilated with that of Chi Lang so he toke over his memories and emotions.

After some thinking Chi Lang came to the conclusion that what he needed now is power to protect himself and his family, the power to kill his enemies.

He picked his dimensional bag and went out.

The dimensional bag is a bag that can reduce the body and the weight of the introduced items, but the bag that Chi Lang picked didn't have a weight reduction system, instead it had a weight distribution system to help with training.

When he was out. Chi Lang had good look at the mansion, it was too small to be called castle, but big enough to be the house of one of the ruling clans of the city, the buildings were white, simplistic like his room, the edifices were subdivided in areas, every area was dedicated to one member of the family or to a certain utility like library, servants dormitory or the training hall.

Chi Lang went to the forest behind the mansion, and followed the path until he came across a river, there he started picking rocks and putting them inside the bag, every time the rocks arrived in the aperture of the bag they shrinked to a thirtieth of his original size, he continued until he was satisfied. The bag was probably of 500 Jin of weight. (250 kilos)

Chi Lang picked the bag with his hand, and the distributed weight instantly pressed him on the ground making him split blood from his mouth, the pain was unbearable. Chi Lang thought his bones were crushed and his organs exploded, he started becoming dizzy and losing focus, when everything was black he remembered the corpses of his family and the mutilated head of his father.

Chi Lang shook his head and the dizziness subdued a little, he started mustering his strength of 900 Jin. Chi Lang had put his hand on the ground with great difficulty, and started pushing, his bones cried from the pain and blood flooded from his mouth, after what seemed hours he managed to land on his knee. Chi Lang knee bones cracked from the pressing but he gritted my teeth with undying willpower and pressed on it managing to stand on his feet, when Chi Lang was standing up he tried to move but his feet didn't help him as they didn't budge in the slightest, he stood there motionless with pain adorning his face for minutes until his bones didn't bear it anymore. Chi Lang fell to the ground with a THUD and his hands let the bag go, he started breathing irregularly and with difficulties, Chi Lang laid down for a hour.

Chi Lang tried getting up but his bones were aching badly, so he started crawling towards the path, every now and then he tried getting up, he managed to arrive at the house on his feet before the sun faded in the horizon, when Chi Lang arrived he found his mom looking at him worryingly.

"Xiao Lang are you alright?! "

She asked him when she saw Chi Lang bloodied.

" Yes mother I was just training"

Chi Lang replied with little to none emotions in his voice, when he was in the void he learned how to control his emotion and he didn't want to let his pain transpire making her even more worried.

Chi Lang really loved her and the rest of his family, and this time he wouldn't let anyone touch them even if his soul and body got destroyed in the way.

 "Xiao Lang, do you want me to tell the servants to prepare a medical bath?"

"Yes, please do mother"

Again Chi Lang voice was emotionless.

"Xiao Lang are you perhaps annoyed by something today? You are acting distant"

Chi Lang smiled at her with a genuinely kind smile and said.

"No mother, its probably because I found a new method of training to help me, so I was focused on it"

"Please don't overwork yourself, your disease can deteriorate."

After finishing his speak with mother and saying goodbye, he went to his room and laid himself on the king sized bed, after some times two guards came transporting a bathtub, the guards positioned the tub in the center of the blank room and went out without saying a word, Chi Lang got up and started undressing, then he went towards the tub.

The water inside the bath was green with various red and blue petals of flowers, it gave a mystical feeling.

As Chi Lang sat inside the bathtub all his pain and sorrow slided away and he slipped in the world of the dreamless rest.

When Chi Lang woke up he found himself still in the tub so he stood up and went toward the wardrobe, he dressed in another pair of white pants and shirt, after that he went toward the shoes cabinet and picked a black pair of boots, at the side of the cabinet there was a mirror, Chi Lang was curious of his appearance so he went and looked at myself.

In the mirror reflected was a young man in the middle of his teens, shoulder length dark violet hair adorned his head, his face was beautiful with rosy lips similar to that of girl but not enough to become confounding, his eyes were light blue, his height was 1.75 m and his physique was not too big nor too small, it was just of the right size. Chi Lang was very happy because his face resembled his mother and not his father and because it was pleasing to the eye. Even if he was a genius cultivator he was still an inexperienced young man and wanted to try falling in love and maybe having a family of his own.

Chi Lang exited the wardrobe and went towards the launch room.

After eating, he went back to his training and this time managed to take a step at the cost of some broken bones.

Spoiler: OLD VERSION

 Oh my children, fate is cruel isn't it?

This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.

 In front of me Chi Luo Ren with his gentle and loving smile plastered on his face, his dirt blond hair was cut short, his eyes were no more clouded, now he wasn't young anymore but was still handsome even tough he was in his thirties.

My hands started shaking and by mind went blank, memories of my 'Father'  resurfaced, always smiling to me even when it was said that I don't have any special talent in martial arts like my brothers or when they discovered my disease, a man who is always smiling and loving his family equally and genuinely, but I also remembered how he killed my family and smiled with the same smile.

Emotions battled in my soul, from a side he was my family killer, from the other he was my father.

My resolve was made, I had to kill him.

I tried sending water earth ki, as I was in the Earth Realm seventh stage , this was my strongest attack, but instead of my usual sky blue ki nothing came out.

My children you are probably wondering what does water ki mean, so I shall explain myself.

When someone practice in a certain environment or eat a special type of pill rich of a certain element power, he can fuse his Ki  with the elemental power, thus creating a new type of ki, those who can do it are little, because you have to form your core from the start in this manner and fuse every particle of an elemental spark with exactly 7 particles of KI, if you add more KI and less element its effects will be bland and of little help for your cultivation, but if you ever put too much element in you KI, you will lose your mind and become possessed by the element.

The types of elements power that can be fused with the KI are subdivided in 4 principal types:

Fire: This type of elemental power is the essence of flames that devour everything, it has raw force and speed equally good, it's one of the easier type of elements to be controlled. It can be found in deserts, volcanoes and various type of 'flame pills'.

Water: This element is the peacefulness of the seas but it is also the raw power of flooding rivers, this element utilize a scheme of defending until an opening is available and then striking with all the power you have. It can be found in the rivers, seas and in the various 'water pills'.

Stone: Defence is the best Attack, this element is steady and solid like the earth that we have under our feet, it's peaceful and everlasting, the practitioner of this element will have impregnable defence that puts the others at shame. It can be found in deep caves, thousands year old fossils and in the various 'stone pills'

Wind: This elements is the impersonation of speed, if you practice this element, you can with a movement of you foot find yourself miles away. It can be found in high mountains, clouds and in the various 'wind pills'.

Now that you know what elemental power is, let's resume.

I panicked not finding my ki, so I started analyzing my dantian.

I didn't found my previous core, only the void essence that I collected in the void, but it was locked, I assume it's because this body owner only reached the 900 Jin stage, his talent was very bad, he was 16 and didn't even manage to arrive to the 1500 Jin stage when his fellow disciple of the same age were at the 2000 Jin stage.

I was powerless in front of my family killer, I was powerless in front of my father.

"Xiao Lang are you alright? It's another attack of the 'blood chilling cold' ? "

The blood chilling cold is a disease that attacks at random times by chilling your blood and bones, the intensity of the attack varies greatly, it can make your blood more dense or it can freeze your bones to the point where they break, the only cure known is absorbing fire ki to balance the cold, but as I was still at the 'Body straightening Realm' I couldn't consume earth essence to blend with the fire ki.

I wanted to attack him utilizing a soul attack but if he won who knows when the next time I would exit the void is?

"No father, I am just a little tired"

In that moment my emotions swayed a little, in this life he was my father and I his son, in my past life he was the betrayer and I the betrayed.

But resolve returned to me as I remembered when he smiled and showed me my father's head, I closed my hands until my nails penetrated my skin.

"Come and sit then"

I did as my father ordered me, I went to the chair between my sister and my mother, and sat down.

We started eating, and chatting, although I would have never imagined that the moment when I would eat with my family enemy would come.

After eating, I was going to stand up and go to my room to organize my thought, when my father started speaking.

"The next month, father. "

"Go and show them what is better between talent and hard work"

Father was really loving to the point that my hate for him subdued a little.

But death was the only possible result in this clash, fueled by revenge and Jealousy.

"Father what are those scars that you have in your hand? Why don't you cancel them? "

My little sister asked my father, her name was Chi Fei, she was 15 years old with beautiful raven hairs and blue eyes, her face resembled a less mature version of mother, her talent for cultivating was very evident, she was younger than me but already at the 2000 Jin stage.

Father looked slightly depressed and gloomy when Chi Fei asked him about the scars.
