Chereads / A Cultivator's Odyssey / Chapter 6 - Breaking Through

Chapter 6 - Breaking Through

Under the moonlight, Li Jing could be seen sitting crossed legs in his room.

Currently, he was guiding the Reincarnation Energy from the golden page inside his body to attack the barrier that was sealing his dantian.

The moment this energy appeared inside his body, he felt a fascinating and surreal sensation. He could feel how powerful and majestic this Reincarnation Energy was and the current him didn't have the qualification to control it.

Neither did he have the ability to comprehend the mysteries of reincarnation nor the strength to use it in battle.

He was only able to guide it due the method provided by the golden page.

The bluish black energy slowly gathered in his body as he prepared to attack the barrier sealing his dantian.

Bang!

On first try, the Reincarnation Energy hit the barrier and cracks started to appear on it.

Bang!

A second wave hit the barrier right after causing the crack to deep. The barrier seemed to be on the verge of breaking.

Bang!

Finally, on the third try, the barrier sealing the Dantian was shattered.

Li Jing's body quivered, followed by a sudden burst of Reincarnation Energy sending shock waves throughout the Li Family.

It was as if a dam has been opened! The Reincarnation Energy rushed in his dantian like a meteor, filling it with bluish black energy as his body started to float.

A whirlwind of the bluish black energy appeared around his body.

Unfortunately, no one was their to witness this extraordinary phenomenon. The people of this world simply didn't have the qualification to sense let alone see the Reincarnation Energy.

But something seemed different about the bluish black energy in his dantian. Li Jing noticed it too. This particular bluish black energy seemed far less potent than the Reincarnation Energy.

A message was transmitted in his head by the golden page and Li Jing frowned upon receiving the message.

Reincarnation Qi!

Simply put, this qi was a inferior version of Reincarnation Energy.

"Seems like I don't have the strength to control Reincarnation Energy and I have a gut feeling that I have to be far, far more stronger than my current self, at least, a gazillion times stronger to have the ability to control it."

When Li Jing thought of how weak his current self was, he clenched both his hands. The seed of will to get stronger had started to sprout within his heart.

However, he had no intention of stopping here. This little setback wasn't worth mentioning, after all, how old was he? Focusing back on the Reincarnation Qi in his dantian, he began to control it and slowly started circulating it inside his body according to the method mentioned in the Blue Sea Tidal Body Art.

Slowly, the Reincarnation Qi started to seep into his bones and started to refine and strengthen them. This whole process was called Bone Refining.

But he didn't know that Bone refining is a painful process. The feeling was exactly like when you put your hand in wet sand repeatedly.

"Ah!", he growled in pain.

He felt the same sensation all over his body. The bones inside his body started to become smooth and white with each passing minute and mysterious blue vein like patterns started to form on their surface.

However, before he could do the further refinement, he suddenly lost consciousness because of the pain and fell on his bed.

The moment the supply of Reincarnation Qi was cut off, the blue veins on the surface of his bones sunk deep inside, disappearing, as if they didn't exist in the first place.

Drops of black liquid started to seep out of his body. But since he was only a three years old, there wasn't much impurity accumulated in his body.

The moon fell and the sun rose but Li Jing didn't seem to have any intention of waking up.

His mother came into his room to wake him up, for he had class today and smelled a foul smell spread across the whole room.

"Ew. What is this smell?"

She quickly covered her mouth and nose with her hand as she walked towards Li Jing's bed.

"Xiao Jing! Xiao Jing! Wake up.", she shook his body in an attempt to wake him up.

Li Jing was having a beautiful dream. In this dream he was a supreme expert who was currently enjoying himself with three thousand beauties when suddenly he saw his mother, Su Xiaoyue, appear in front of him.

"Ah!"

He was so shocked that he fell down.

"Ah!", he was jolted awake from his beautiful dream and saw his mother in front of him. Due to suddenly waking up, he was confused.

Su Xiaoyue, seeing her son wake up, picked him up in her arms, "Ah! Xiao Jing how could you poop in the bed? It's black too! What a mess! Maid! Maid! Clean First Young Master's room and prepare the bath."

She exclaimed in exasperation when she saw dark spots on the bed and the foul smell coming from them and her son's body.

 "!?", Li Jing, who was only half awake, suddenly had his eyes widened. 

He lifted his head, looked her in the eyes and said indignantly, "Mother! I didn't poop in bed!"

"Shut up! You dare lie to me after all this mess you have created!" She reprimanded him as she pointed at the bed sheet.

He looked at the bed sheet and saw light black marks which were emitting foul smell.

"Impurities!?"

He quickly understood the crux of the matter. It was said that with every cycle of successful refinement, ones body sweats black liquid from the pores of the body, expelling accumulated impurities.

However, his mother seemed to have misunderstood this as 'poop', since its not possible for the current him to cultivating, at least not successfully, in their eyes.

He could only swallow the truth in his heart and silently show indignant protest in his eyes.

The First Young Master was famous through out the capital as the 'Little Genius' so, any of his achievements would be known to the people here.

Soon, the news of First Young Master of the Li family, poopping in his bed at the age of three spread like wildfire.

Every person who heard this news laughed. Some shook their head and some had an understanding gaze.

He became the talk of the capital once again.

"Ahaha! How could a heir of such a prestigious family shit in his bed? This is the most hilarious thing I have heard today."

"Ha~. Do you have to exaggerate it like that? You have to know that he is only three years old. It normal for kids his age."

"Yeah, no matter how much of genius he is, he is still only a three years old child."

"But three years old kids don't shit in their pants."

"Shut up! Do you know how much peer pressure he must be under as a first in line of succession to his clan? I have heard that the children of the Noble families are trained from a young age. Tsk, tsk. He must have been unable to bear it anymore and pooped his bed!"

"Is that true!? They are so strict to their children!?"

"Of course, that's why their are called Noble families. The competition in their is extremely fierce."

As the day passed, Li Jing's popularity broke through the ceiling, reaching new height.

When Li Hao heard this news, he only shook his head. As for the children, they laughed heartily, to them this was the most joyous news, soaring their mood to study.

However, the centre of attention, the talk of the town was sitting inside a room completely unaware of the storm he had caused.

Currently he had locked himself in his room which was cleaned by the maids. Poor little boy was too ashamed to face any one.

Every where he went, he saw people laughing and teasing him, maids and servants included.

They...They called him - Little Pantz pooper! As for the maids and servants, they called him - Young Master Pooper!

In just one morning of action, he had achieved two achievements and surely they weren't the ones to be proud of.

Whenever, he looked at those smiling faces and teasing and pitiful gazes, he had the urge to shout at top of his lung - "ITS ALL A MISUNDERSTANDING! THOSE WERE IMPURITIES EXPELLED BY ME CULTIVATING."

However, he knew that people won't believe him and would just laugh harder thinking that he was using an excuse to hide his embarrassment.

Their might be some people who would believe him but that would be an even bigger problem. A three years old practicing Martial Techniques? What in the heavens name!?

And unknowingly, he would put himself and his family in danger.

Thus, all he could to was protest in silence and accept the misunderstanding of being a pant shitter. And he didn't mean it metaphorically.

Right now, though, he needed to calm down so, he had locked himself up.
