Days had passed into months. Ling's growth went smoothly and without any hindrance.
Six months had passed since Ling was under Xiao Wu's care.
She attended him like her own son, no less.
Being a baby with fully developed consciousness was a torture for Ling. He was struggling so much, especially when he wanted to go to the loo.
All he could do now was crawl and speak a simple vocal to communicate.
Ling tried his best to accumulate the Qi Energy from the surroundings, despite being a baby, his knowledge in cultivation was still intact.
So, he was able to absorb them in order to boost his growth, strengthening his muscles and bones.
"Come on! I'm so sick with this body! So weak and fragile!"
Ling tried to climb up the wall to stand on his own feet.
He was having trouble balancing himself at first. After a while, he was able to walk onto the balcony of his room.
Upon reaching the balcony, the warmness of the morning sun welcomed him.
The pavilion which was situated at the mountain summit provided him with a stunning view.
"Wow…"
Ling was agape upon witnessing the amazing mountain range that stretches for thousands kilometers beyond the horizon.
As if being lured by the spectacles, Ling tried to climb up the pillar and stood on the wooden railing to get a better view since his body was still very short.
"Where is this? I never knew that such a mountain range existed in my previous life."
He was bewitched by the spectacles and didn't realize that Xiao Wu had entered his bedroom.
Her heart skipped a beat upon seeing the Young Master stood on the railing.
"Young Master, that's dangerous!"
Suddenly, his body was yanked from the railing, Xiao Wu hugged him tightly after securing the balcony door, checking his body for any visible wounds.
"How can you get up there?"
"Mmhh! Mhh!" Ling signs her to open the balcony door.
"Oh… you want to see the scenery? But promise me, you won't climb up the railing ever again."
Ling nodded a couple of times.
Xiao Wu was amazed by his growth, not only became stronger by the age of six months, Ling was already able to walk.
She was certain that the Young Master would become an amazing person in the near future.
A prodigy that would shake Kowloon Kingdom to its very root.
"Good boy," Xiao Wu patted his head gently.
"Grrhh!" Ling pouted his cheeks, he was displeased at being treated like a kid.
"I know, I know… I'm sorry but I couldn't help caressing you, young master." She says, bringing him to the balcony.
She always had this inklings that Ling Zhao was actually an adult that reincarnated inside the body of a baby since then.
"Beautiful, isn't it? This mountain range is called Tie Zhu Mountain, named after the great warrior in the past. This little piece of heaven is situated in the Kowloon Kingdom."
From here, Xiao Wu explained the major area of the mountains which stretched for over hundreds of miles from east to west.
Separating the Northern Continent with the Wilderness. The last frontier of mankind.
On the east side, there was a Spruce Forest with its hundreds of thousands trees. Towering above the ground for over hundreds of meters tall.
On the west side, there was this rocky area with its huge boulders that spiking into the sky.
Meanwhile, the Zhao Sect's pavilion was situated at the Southern Sides, with the village just below the hill.
And then, there was this area that was always hovered by gloomy dark clouds in the northern side.
All of this abundant natural resources, the magical creatures that lived on the mountain range were owned by the Zhao Sect.
"However, you must not venture to the north side of the forest alone. Only the Experienced and Seasoned Warrior may enter that area."
Ling lulled and was half asleep listening to her stories.
"Oh! I'm sorry Young Master. I got carried away. Let's fill your belly first before you go to sleep."

Months had passed already, little Ling had grown so much.
Sitting at the desk in the library, Ling has drowned himself in the sea of knowledge.
Hundreds of books already piled up in his left and right side.
In his 1 year old age, Ling was already able to vocalize his words and able to write simple characters and letters.
More surprisingly, he was already able to read a difficult Cultivation Book and Martial Arts.
As he expected, although he's already completely in different land, the cultivation here is not so much different than his previous world.
Starting from, Body Foundation Realm, where one could prepare their body and form the dantian inside their body.
Earth Realm, in this realm, one must understand the basic principle of nature itself.
And after that, Sky Realm. Where one is finally able to release themselves from the shackles of worldly affairs.
Sun Realm, the very realm that only few are able to reach this height. Defying the heaven law and rules and even creating the Nascent Soul inside their dantian.
Sage Realm, Emperor Realm, and so on.
Ling was eager to get stronger. Right now, he was too small and weak to even withstand the force of the Qi Energy.
Training his physique and mind to keep them sharp was the least he can do so when the time has come, he would be at the ready.
Upon reading the cultivation book, he also read history books, medicines and so on to broaden his knowledge.
He also learnt that the Zhao Sect was originally a family of Beast Hunters in the far past.
And now, the Zhao Family was mandated by the current King of Kowloon Kingdom to protect and serve this ancient piece of land.
He was so lucky to be reborn in such a venerable and honored family. He doesn't need to struggle to get a loaf of bread and even a piece of cloth, unlike his childhood in the previous life.
"Ah, here you are. I have been searching for you, Young Master." Xiao Wu, the woman who was taking care of Ling in his infancy, strode her way to his desk.
"What is it, Xiao Wu?" He replied, his way of talking was still lisp due to his early age.
"It's about time for dinner. Your father is already in the dining room."
"Eh? This late, already? Even though it feels like I only spent a few hours here."
"Few hours? Do you even know how many books you have read for today?"
"Hmm?" Ling glanced at his desk, which was already full with high piled books.
"Ugh… No wonder this little body feels sore."
"Fufu, let's go then."
Xiao Wu tugged his little hand while walking him through the corridor.
