Chapter 2 - Cultivator

He joined the line and waited for his turn for hours and finally it was his turn. They didn't even weigh him like the others and the man said he isn't strong or talented so it will be a waste of time to train someone like him. He walked to the forest feeling like a fly. When he reached a certain part of the forest, He decided to make that place his home. He worked for a whole month before being able to build a treehouse. After he finished, he decided to rest there and and reminisce of his past where he lived happily with his family and he remembered how his older brother sometimes called him naughty when he challenge his sister because he thinks a boy should be able to defeat a woman. And he remembered that on his 6th birthday he asked his parents whether he could finally go to the attic which stored their ancestors treasures and techniques but was denied access. But he sneaked there anyways in the night when everyone was asleep. He saw plenty swords and scrolls. But his eyes saw an old necklace there and took it to examine but he was caught before he could do so. So he hastily placed it in his pocket and tried to examine it later. But totally forgot about it till now. Remembering this, he took out the necklace from his pocket and stared at it for a while and fell asleep with it. He dreamt seeing someone who resembles him but he is more older than Son. "I am Bakhita" the old man said. " I am also called Son Bakhita" Son said. The old man proceeded to explain that he was the very first ancestor who discovered how to slay demons. Son was shocked and asked why he has revealed himself to him. The man said the spirit of his parents and siblings are pressuring him to teach him so he can become more powerful. "I noticed that you can't even cultivate" the old man said. "Please sir, teach me how to become powerful" Bakhita said. The old man told him that he can't train someone who can't even cultivate further more seal a demon. Bakhita started crying and said "please sir help me". "First of all why do you want to become powerful" the old man said. "To avenge my family" Bakhita said. "You can't use that mindset to become powerful you must become powerful to protect your love ones from facing the same sad fate"the old man said with a little frown on his face. He said "starting tomorrow I will teach you through your sleep if you become powerful enough then I can reveal myself to you in your real world but if I reveal myself to you now in your current state, you will die instantly since you are still a mortal" the old man said. Bakhita asked about the necklace and the man said in a more appropriate time you will know it use and he disappeared. A moment later Bakhita woke up startled and thinking about the dream. He smiled inwardly knowing that he will definitely become powerful in a few years. He tried to cultivate the whole day but nothing happened. And eventually fell asleep after taking a bath in the clean river situated in the west of the forest. The old man appeared again and said to him in order to cultivate you must clear your mind and concentrate on collecting the spiritual energy towards the mind. He continued to guide him and he was able to break through from first level spiritual servant to ninth level spiritual servant in his dreams shocking the old man greatly. When he woke up from his sleep, He realised he has become light in weight and could see strength flowing through his body and a feeling like he has been reincarnated. He wanted to try and see if he will be able to carry things that he couldn't carry before. And to his surprise he was able to carry a very large bolder. He wandered to himself if he is know a cultivator.
