Chereads / Cultivating to Ascension / Chapter 2 - New Start

Chapter 2 - New Start

Memories flashed Brian's brain. From the first day they were born to final moment. 10 years worth of memories of someone. No. It's better to say these are the 10 years worth of memories of Brian's new body. That's right. The body Brian has taken over when he crossed worlds. Brian hasn't awakened from his "dream" yet. Brian lay unconscious on the scorching hot sand as a white bearded old man approaches Brian from afar kicking up dust as he goes.

[What a tragedy, he's still young and he's been abandoned down here, huh. It seems his dantian is broken. Hmm.]

The old man examined Brian's body as if he could see through all, the old men let out a surprised sound.

[Ooh. It seems this little lad's dantian isn't broken, it's just too weak. Fmm, what a sad fate. Eh, ooh, this little lad has rare body. I can't leave him here can I. I should take good care of him.]

The old man said as he picked up Brian and put him on top of what seemed to be a flying cloud. The old man then hopped onto the flying cloud as he left with a sly smile on his face.

...

Brian oblivious to everything happening outside, immersed himself in the old body's memories. The memories quickly assimilated with Brian's own mind as if they were his own. Through the memories, Brian was able to learn that this world contained cultivators that could destroy mountains with a simple fist and control the weather with a flick of a finger. The previous owner of the body was thrown into the Under World due to a group of cultivators who were jealous of his handsome face. He was a mortal and his dantian was diagnosed as broken so he wasn't able to cultivate either, eventually being thrown off the World Edge by his haters. Brian was also able to learn about the currencies and the 3 Worlds; Under World is the current world Brian was thrown to filled with more monsters than the other 2 worlds and was also surrounded by flames with a small population of 400 million and was the size of Earth, Eternal Mortal World was as big as 4 Earths but was flat with the biggest population of 20 billion and 2/3 of the population were mortals while the rest cultivators, and the last World, Dragon City was a world 2 times the size of Earth but only had a population of 7 billion and was fulled with nothing but cultivators. Although it was known as 3 Worlds, all were connected. Dragon City lead to Eternal Mortal World by the water that fell from the clouds, and Eternal Mortal World led to Under World by the heavenly roots from the Eternal Life Bearing Tree. The Under World Brian was currently in mostly had criminals, outcast that were banned from visiting both worlds above, or simply came to cultivate a fire technique.

...

While Brian was getting an understanding of the new world, the bearded old man was inside a room under his house concocting pills and had scrolls to the side of the table that if Brian were to see he would be able to immediately tell they were cultivation manuals and of the highest rank, God. The old man also had a piece of parchment above the table that seemed like a training regimen. The old man happily hummed while stirring the ingredients inside the cauldron. Above he basement, Brian's hand twitched and the old man seemed to have sensed it as well.

...

As Brian opened his eyes the first thing he did was to look around. Brian's memories mixed up with the old body's memories so he wasn't able to realize until a while later that he died.

'How am I alive? Where am I?'

Brian remembered the information about the world, but he knew he shouldn't be on a bed inside a house. As Brian prepared himself to run, creaking came from upstairs as the sound of footsteps stepping on to wood resounded within the old looking house. As the wooden creaking sounds came closer, Brian grabbed a nearby chair and prepared to break the wooden chair onto whatever was coming down. The creaking stopped until a couple of steps were left then continued to go downwards. Brian gripped the wooden chair and just as he was about to slam the chair, an explosion came from under the floor.

(Kaboom)

After the explosion came a muffled but cheery voice.

[Hahaha. This old man still has it with him, I'm still the best!]

Laughter came from downstairs as Brian froze from shock.

[Grandpa, what are you doing now!?]

A loud shout came from upstairs as a blonde haired voluptuous beauty with blue eyes came from downstairs, the girl appeared to be 16 years old with a height of 5'6 and was wearing something similar to a Chinese cheongsam.

When the girl shouted, a hunched-back bearded old man with an excited face appeared at the door that led downstairs.

[Oh, you're awake now lad. Isabella, come down and help this lad.]

[Hmph, why do I have to help, you took him in?]

[If you help the lad then I'll make our food with the special sauce.]

[O-ok, not because of your food, I just want to help him.]

[Thats my granddaughter.]

As all this happened, Brian stood dumbfounded. Coming back to his senses Brian pointed towards the old man and girl with the wooden chair.

[Who are you!? Where am I!? Don't make me hurt you!]~Brian

Brian yelled towards both people while getting ready to throw the chair and dash, but as Brian yelled this, the old man blurred from Brian's vision and appeared in front of the chair and snapped his fingers. As the old man snapped his fingers, the wooden chair immediately broke apart.

[Hahaha, forgive me for not introducing myself. I am called Jose, but you can just call me Grandpa J as we'll be living together for a while. And over there is my granddaughter. I know she's a beauty but you can't date her unless you can beat me to the grave, haha.]~Grandpa J

Grandpa J introduced himself as he walked towards Brian.

[Eh, what's that gotta do with me?]

Brian asked surprised, not knowing what was happening.

[Im taking you in as a disciple because you have a rare body type.]

Said Grandpa J smiling towards Brian.
