They all sat down to enjoy the warm breakfast, the atmosphere was filled with laughter and light-hearted conversation without mentioning what happened yesterday. Shen Yuan felt a little uncomfortable when he thought that he hadn’t yet shared his past with his aunts.
He decided to talk with them later about it, for now, he focused on eating food with his family.
After breakfast, Shen Yuan decided it was time to start training, he stood up from the dining table and looked at his mother and aunts with determination, “Mom, Aunt Huo, Aunt Bing, I want to learn more about cultivation and start my training from today, as you have said after I finish my awakening ritual you will tell me more about it as well teach me about it.”
Shen Yuxin also got serious as she heard Shen Yuan’s words as she spoke, “It is time for me to tell you why I didn’t speak about all this stuff before and didn’t let you acquire the knowledge of the cultivation world.”
Shen Yuxin also slowly stood up as she walked ahead and spoke, “Yuan’er, follow me to the training room and both of you as well.” She also called Huo Rong and Bing Rong to go to the training room with her. Shen Yuan, Huo Rong, and Bing Rong followed after Shen Yuxin.
Shen Yuan was lost in his thoughts about the future as all of them reached the training room, Shen Yuxin pushed open the doors of the training room as all of them entered it. Inside was a vast field with an even ground, the ground stretching for as far as the eyes could see.
Shen Yuan’s eyes widened in amazement as he took in the sight of the training room. It was almost like the same place as where he went through his Awakening ritual. The room seemed to stretch infinitely, with the ground perfectly even with small green grass growing everywhere. There were wooden weapons of all types lying around for his training as well as a lot of other stuff, It was the perfect environment for his Body Forging Cultivation.
Shen Yuxin turned to face him after entering the training room or rather a training dimension, her expression serious yet gentle, “Yuan’er,” she began, “the reason I didn’t tell you about the cultivation world and the realms of cultivation was due to my fear.” She paused after speaking for a bit.
Shen Yuan got confused, thinking about what her mother was fearing, but soon Shen Yuxin continued, “I feared what will happen if you couldn’t activate your talent during the awakening ritual or if you were crippled since birth if you couldn’t cultivate then I wanted for you to at least have a normal life without the influence of cultivators. That’s why I didn’t let you study about the cultivation world, realms, and other details.”
Shen Yuxin finished her sentence in one breath and looked at Shen Yuan to see his reaction but Shen Yuan didn’t react much as if he expected this much, Shen Yuxin heaved a sigh of relief as she continued,
“Cultivation is not just about gaining power through cultivation, it forges your will to be unbeatable since the higher you reach the more challenges you will face in the future. But since you have so much talent and you yourself want to begin your cultivation then we will start from today.
Shen Yuan nodded his small head in all seriousness, his eyes shining with faint excitement about gaining immeasurable powers, Huo Rong and Bing Rong giggled softly after seeing his expression, Shen Yuan spoke to his mother, “Yes, Mom. I am ready for my Body Forging training and to start walking on my path of cultivation.”
Shen Yuxin smiled proudly after hearing his reply, “Very well, Let us begin your training.”
She motioned for him to step forward, “The first level of the body forging realm is Strength Awakening is divided into two parts, the first part is when you go through the awakening ritual and step into this realm and the second is when after entering this realm you search inside your body and find the hidden potential in your body, Unlocking your latent strength.”
Shen Yuan listened closely, afraid of missing a single detail. Shen Yuxin continued, “This step is very easy and most cultivators are able to do it in a week to a month, after you have successfully awakened your hidden strength, we will move on to Flesh Training.”
“In this realm we will focus on enhancing your muscles and flesh, making them more resilient and powerful. You will undergo intense training and learn a breathing exercise to go along with your training so it can maximize the benefits of various treasures and your training.”
At that moment Huo Rong stepped forward, holding a small vial containing a strange shimmering red liquid, “This is the Body Refinement Elixer,” she explained. “It will help in building a strong foundation for your future path, it will restore your stamina and heal your wounds during your intense training.”
Shen Yuan’s eyes flashed as he looked at the Body Refinement Elixer as he already got it from the system, but to not arouse suspicion, he took it and thanked Huo Rong, “Thanks, Aunt Huo.”
Bing Rong also approached at this moment, holding a scripture, “This is the Vital Essence Body Refinement scripture, this is one of the best foundational body refinement techniques in all of Desolate Continent, this is what Big Sis Yuxin told us before.”
Shen Yuan’s eyes revealed his surprise as he took the scripture and thanked Bing Rong, “Thanks, Aunt Bing Rong.”
He hurriedly opened the scripture and started reading it, Huo Rong and Bing Rong smiled after seeing how excited and hasty he was, Shen Yuxin also smiled softly seeing how excited her son was towards cultivation.
Little did they know, Shen Yuan was actually comparing the breathing exercises of Vital Essence Body Refinement and Chaos Body Refinement techniques, what he found out astonished him so much that he spoke to THE system, “Hey system, why is there such a huge gap between the complexity of both techniques? The one given to me by Aunt Bing Rong is so simple compared to what I got from you.’
