-Showing myself is impossible, as for who I am?
The voice said in an amused tone and Paul finally figured out that it was coming from inside his body.
-I'm your previous reincarnation and I can hardly believe that you managed to survive this long with your way of doing things.
This revelation shocked Paul as he could not believe what he was hearing.
-You are me from my previous life?
-That is correct and I was not planning to interfere but if I don't then you will most likely get killed before long.
-What do you mean?
Paul asked baffled and trying to process what he just learned.
-First of all, don't stop walking as this is not the best place for a chat.
The reincarnation said.
Paul started to move again since it was not the best place to have this kind of conversation.
-Now listen to me.
The reincarnation said.
-Up until now you were extremely lucky to avoid dying and the only thing I can praise you for is the preparations that you made always trying to find a way out but that is all you have right now and sooner or later this will not be enough.
This was a hard pill for Paul to swallow as he thought that he had done quite well up till now.
-Don't flatter yourself, Idiot.
The reincarnation scolded him.
-Now listen, you might think that your cultivation is progressing at a good phase but in actuality, it is pathetic.
Don't even try to argue with me on that as you should have been on the second stage a long time ago.
The voice said as he was thinking about arguing about this statement.
-Just shut up and listen to me, then maybe you will live long enough to see these two ladies of yours.
-First of all, the woman was their mother, she didn't lie about that so stop worrying about them and focus on yourself.
To even have a chance of seeing them again you need to achieve the pinnacle of the Taste refinement stage and Supreme magician stage.
Paul was speechless hearing that.
-Are you kidding me?
To reach that high would take me decades if not centuries.
He protested.
-You are an idiot, but that can't be helped since you were trapped in the mansion the last time and now you are on the outskirts of civilization.
The reincarnation sighed.
-Basically, you lack a lot of knowledge about this world and what lies beyond.
So let me enlighten you.
-The first ten stages are just the beginning of cultivation and there are way more stages above them.
This world is the smallest one of the twelve main worlds and its Qi and Mana are of the worst kind.
That is the reason why most people in this place take so long to rise in levels.
As for the mother of your two ladies, she was forcefully suppressing her cultivation to come down here and get her daughters.
The only reason why you managed to escape was because you surprised her by being a dual cultivator.
-Wait, so you're saying that if I want to find Maya and Mia I need to go to the upper world?
Paul asked with disbelief.
Until just a moment ago he didn't even know that there were upper worlds.
-That is exactly what you need to do if you want to see them again.
-How do I do that? It took me a decade to reach the Blood refinement stage last time not to mention the pinnacle of the Taste Refinement stage.
Paul was panicking a bit since this was an impossible task.
-I will help you with that but first, you need to learn something about yourself.
The voice said.
-The most important thing for now is your physique which by the way is nothing so simple as what you were told.
-What do you mean?
-I mean that these crappy gods' messengers didn't give you the correct name of your physique or what it can really do.
The whole energy absorption and purification is only a part of your real physique.
You should have a physique-revealing crystal with you, use it.
Paul took out the crystal that was originally meant for one of the ladies and dropped some blood on it.
The crystal turned from being transparent to displaying the night sky full of stars and a dragon with colorful scales flying amongst them.
-What is this? I have not heard of such a physique display before.
Paul asked in shock as this was not what he was expecting to see.
-This means that you have the same physique I did when I was alive The Rainbow Dragon in the Starry Sky physique.
This physique is a legendary one and is most suited for dual cultivation or as they call it in this world pleasure cultivation.
-Does this mean that the best way for me to cultivate is to have sex?
Paul asked in disbelief.
-Exactly, and right now you have missed every opportunity to cultivate with women around you.
-But that was…
-Yes I know that you consider it cheating on your ladies but if you want to see them again before they find someone else then this is the best option for you so get rid of that stupid mindset.
Or do you really believe that they will wait for hundreds of years for you?
The reincarnation asked.
This question hit the jackpot, Paul was more than certain that they would wait for him but not for decades or even centuries.
What's more, he had no clue which of the upper worlds they were in so there would be a problem if he got to the second one only to find that they were in the higher one.
-Do you know which world they might be in?
He asked.
-If the mark on the knives is the real deal then you have a long way ahead of you.
Paul took out one of the knives and looked at the mark on it.
It depicted a beast he had never seen before.
-You didn't see it because this thing only exists in the sixth world and above.
To use it as a mark the family must be rich and powerful not to mention influential.
When I was alive the only family that used the Stalking Ripper as their mark was living in the ninth world but that was many thousands of years ago.
-Are you serious?
I will have to go all the way up to the ninth world to even have a slim chance of seeing Mia and Maya.
-Yes, unless they come down to find you but I would not count on that too much for the next couple of centuries.
That is why I said that you need to drop the idea of cheating and start dual cultivating as soon as possible as this is your only chance to go up, unless, of course, you prefer to wait for them to come down if they ever will.
-But I don't know any technique for dual cultivation not to mention that my physique is special so there won't be many techniques for it.
Paul was determined to go find his women even if it was a long shot at best since even by dual cultivation he was not sure how long it would take for him to reach the world that they were in now.
-Don't worry about it, until you reach the second stage you don't need a specific technique for it and once you do reach it then our merger process will start so you will naturally know the techniques I learned throughout my life.
The voice assured him.
-Wait, what do you mean by the merger process?
-I mean that once you reach the second stage with every level you will gain some of my memories and knowledge but don't worry you will still be yourself just with much more experience and knowledge.
Paul didn't like the idea of having someone else's memories in his head.
-Like it or not, since I revealed myself now it is impossible to stop this process.
Also, this is all I can do for now as my time is running out but do me a favor and don't get yourself killed, also if you are worried about your first time then just go to a brothel and do it there.
With these words, the voice disappeared leaving Paul speechless once again.
