Chapter 2 - Saint Force

Two years have passed since Mo Ding's reincarnation, and he now goes by Ye Feng, the fifth young master of the Ye clan. Ye Feng had been considered a genius. He began walking nine months after his birth and started talking ten months later. At first, the Ye clansmen, his father, and his mother were shocked, but after this surprise, his father and mother started doting on Ye Feng more, especially his father, who doted on him more than his other children. This action incites jealousy among Ye Feng's siblings, leading them to distance themselves from Ye Feng, with the exception of Ye Long, his first brother, who was born to his first aunt. Ye Long is 3 years older than Ye Feng.

Ye Long spends a lot of time with Ye Feng, forcing him to play with him. Ye Feng couldn't help but smile helplessly at his situation and adapt accordingly.

Ye Feng wants to travel this world and explore the Tian Yuan Continent, but right now he is too young. He sighed while sitting next to a lake. A maid was walking toward him and called to him, "Fifth young master, the fourth lady requests your presence." Ye Feng nodded at the maid. The maid was 18 years old. She was one of Chang Ying's personal maids. Ye Feng stood up and started walking back to the mansion.

With Ye Feng

Ye Feng knocked on the room his mother was staying in, "KNOCK, KNOCK," then he heard his mother's sweet voice saying, "Come in." Ye Feng entered the room. The maids were helping Chang Ying dress up, and Ye Feng said, "Mother, did you call for me?" Chang Ying smiled at Ye Feng. "Yes, Feng'er, we need to talk." Ye Feng nodded, and he sat on the chair, waiting for his mother to finish dressing up.

After Chang Ying finished dressing up, she dismissed the maids, then looked at Ye Feng seriously and said to him: "Listen carefully, Feng'er; I will teach you a breathing exercise." Ye Feng looked confused at his mother and asked, "Breathing exercise?" Chang Ying nodded. "That's right. You see, this breathing exercise is a basic method of absorbing the world's Saint Force and storing it inside of you. Once you store the Saint Force within your body, you can utilize it for both attacking and defending yourself.

Ye Feng was intrigued and excited; he then said to Chang Ying, "Mother, teach me the breathing exercise." Cheng Ying giggled at how excited Ye Feng was and said, "Let me finish my explanation first, Feng'er." Ye Feng nodded his head and listened carefully to his mother. "The Saint Force is all over the world." A saint force exists in the sky and on earth; these are examples. You can find Saint Force everywhere. In other words, you can absorb and store Saint Force from anywhere."

Ye Feng nodded in understanding, and Chang Ying continued, "Now let me explain the breathing exercise to you first, and after understanding the exercise, I will show you how to do it." Chang Ying began explaining the breathing exercise in detail to Ye Feng, and then she began to demonstrate it to him. After Chang Ying finished her demonstration, Ye Feng bent his knees and sat on the floor, then he started attempting the breathing exercise. Chang Ying was surprised at how quickly Ye Feng grasped the exercise, like it was second nature to him. Then she smiled widely and thought, "My son is a genius after all. I should have anticipated this outcome from him."

Ye Feng felt a warm energy enter his body. This energy brought him a sense of relaxation and tranquillity. He was thoroughly enjoying this feeling and thought to himself, "So this is Saint Force ha." He smiled, and then he continued absorbing and storing the Saint Force, just like the instructions Chang Ying gave him when she was teaching him the breathing exercise.

After five minutes, Chang Ying clapped her hand and said, "That is enough, Feng'er. You did an excellent job. I am proud of you, and do not forget to do the breathing exercise every day." Ye Feng nodded his head. "Mother, when I was absorbing the Saint Force, I felt relaxed and tranquil." The Saint Force was very warm. The more I absorbed the Saint Force, the more tranquil I felt it was enjoyable." Chang Ying couldn't help but giggle at what Ye Feng said: "Feng'er, what you did right now and what you experienced is called cultivation."

Ye Feng was confused. "Cultivation?" Cheng Ying nodded. Cheng Ying began to explain to him, "Yes, what you did was called cultivation; you absorbed the Saint Force, stored it inside of you, and continued to absorb the Saint Force, accumulating the Saint Force energy inside of your body." This will make you stronger. The more Saint Force you store, the stronger you become. This is a simple example of cultivation. Most people on the Tian Yuan Continent are cultivators. Everyone in our clan cultivates. You must work diligently to keep up with everyone, Feng'er, but cultivation encompasses more than just absorbing and storing Saint Force. After learning to read and write, you can learn more about cultivation at the library."

Ye Feng smiled brightly and said, "Mother, can you teach me how to read and write? Please, I want to go to the library to read and learn more about cultivation." Chang Ying was surprised by Ye Feng's request. "Feng'er, you are only two years old, and it may be tedious for you to learn how to read and write." Ye Feng shocked his head. "No, mother, I promise I will not complain. Please teach me how to read and write." Ye Feng's stubbornness shocked Chang Ying, prompting her to ask, "Why are you so determined to learn how to read and write?"

Ye Feng honestly responded to Chang Ying, saying, "I want to learn more about cultivation, similar to what I just told you." The breathing exercise was enjoyable, and you informed me that cultivation encompasses more than simply absorbing and storing Saint Force. I want to learn everything there is to know about cultivation." Chang Ying sighed. "Fine, I will ask your father to bring the best teacher in the city to start teaching you tomorrow." Ye Feng smiled widely and said, "Thank you, mother. I also want my own room so I can cultivate without disturbances."

Chang Ying nodded. "Fine, you can use this room for now. I'll go talk to your father now and tell him about your request." Ye Feng nodded with a smile on his face and said, "Thank you, mother." Chang Ying smiled at her son, kissed his forehead, and exited the room to talk to Ye Gou.
