Liu Wen looked meekly at the three men in front of him, looking back at him with intimidating stares.

Liu wen felt uncomfortable under the gaze of these men. It took all his willpower not to just run away

They weren’t any ordinary men they were the most powerful men, both in cultivation and influence

They were the only nascent soul ancestors of the red star sect, three true monarchs and that sacred him

In the middle sat the sect founder and former sect head true monarch red rabbit

On his left and right sat the only 4th-grade alchemist true monarch fire breath and the celestial diviner Master meng

Any of these three men can kill him just a breath, not to mention the Liu family patriarch head standing right next to him smiling like Damm idiot

“Do you agree li wen?” asked master meng

Liu wen broke into a cold sweat at this question

He wanted to shout “No, you old idiot, I don’t agree”, but that was Nei-impossible for him

Liu wen couldn’t just refuse these old monsters and swagger out of here, even they allowed him to leave

without doing anything to him, they would surely retaliate against him at a later date

That retaliation could be mild as reducing the number of resources he had access to as severe as just out killing him in the dark

These old relics were putting him in an impossible position, they gave him two impossible choices

On one hand, he could refuse these bastards and face their wrath, which would probably end in his death

On the other hand, he could agree and face the dire consequences in the future if he is found out

Both these choices were bad to say the least, but for Liu Wen the danger in the future far too distant for him to think it real and the danger of these old men was very real

Even though the choices were difficult, the decision was easy for Liu Wen,

“Yes, I agree with the elder’s proposition,” Liu wen said

“Good, Good, Good” true monarch red rabbit said and started to laugh

“You are a loyal son of the clan Liu Wen” patriarch Liu Tuan praised him

“You’ve made the right choice” Master meng got up from his chair and came to him

Liu Wen mocked himself ‘THE RIGIT CHOICE’

only the future will tell him that, he thought to himself

As I looked at my clear reflection in the mirror made of water, I couldn’t help but smile

In the reflection stood a lean, smart-looking boy with sharp features on an oval face with straight bushy eyebrows, dressed in all red clothes with long hair tied in a bun held together with a single wooden stick

If I had seen this boy in my previous life, I would have thought that he was a handsome child actor in some Chinese historical drama.

Everything about the boy in reflection looked normal except his eyes, his piercing gold eyes,

Even in my previous life, I couldn’t remember anyone with gold eyes. They were unnerving.

“Okay, granny Yu I’m done” I said in a chirpy voice

The mirror shimmered and then turned into mist and disappeared and granny Yu dressed in all black came forward with a happy smile on her face.

“How do I look?” I said and gave a little spin to let her see the entire outfit

“Very Good, my young master is so dashing that he going to turn many hearts today”

she replied with a dazzling smile

I felt my face turning hot at that comment and seeing the even brighter smile on the face of granny Yu I felt even more embarrassment

“Okay, let’s go. We will be, late” I said in a shrill voice to hide my embarrassment and ran outside the room

“Yes, young master,” I heard granny say behind my back

After I woke from the stupor of self-pity, I learned a lot about this world from granny Yu and from a lot of different unique books

This was a world of cultivation, the concept I had read in many stories in my previous life

The people born with spiritual roots can sense the various types of energies and harness it to become immortals

Through the books I learned that human being are not the only ones in this world. There were many races the elves, dwarfs, darken, Beast men, Godkin, spirtmen, sirens, cyclops, dracman, Lycoros to name a few.

These were just the mortal races and each of these races had their own powered as I had come to all them people with the ability to sense the energies and to harness them.

According to the books given by Granny Yu, there were 9 continents in this world and they call the one we live on the Great heart continent. Whoever came up with that name needs to put explanation, but there was none

I know that we live in the eastern region of this great heart continent. Beyond that, I found no other information

Which region do we live in? What is it called? I knew nothing except that we live in the red star sect built right next to red star city and the red river. There I lot of red things around this place

All this new information fascinated me, as it was further proof that I was no longer on earth. I was in this magical place where all sorts of things were not just myths, but actual realities

As I came out of the house, I stopped and waited for granny Yu. She was truly kind and a good person

After that day she had become my anchor that made this horrible place livable

I had tried to call her grandma, but she seriously reprimanded me and told to only granny Yu but in my mind, she was my grandmother and I called granny behind her back

As she came out of the house in a brisk walk, she waved her hands and a black carriage appeared Infront of me

I was stunned. How the hell did it happen

Maybe seeing my stunned expression, granny took pity on me and explained

“It’s a flying carriage, young master,” she said

I looked at the carriage, it was completely black with no wheels but spikes, like pole prodding in the front and back it looked like the litter

“Where did it come from?” I asked turning to her staring intently at her

She laughed and picked up her robe to show me her left foot

“From the storage ring young master,” she said

I looked closely at the foot. There was a plain silver ring on the small toe of the foot

“that’s a storage ring”

Granny Yu nodded

It amazed me

I knew about storage rings not just from books provided by granny, but anyone who has played D&D would know about them

But these world storage rings were using space stones and required not just a skilled grade 4 refiner but also a grade 4 formation master that means they were super rare

Storage bag on the other hand just needed a grade 1 inscription master who knew spatial element inscription

“Let’s go, young master”

The voice of granny broke my chain of thought and looked at where granny Yu was

She was sitting in driver position and had somehow opened the door to the carriage

I gingerly got while looking down, wondering how will it move

Right before my eyes smoke gathered around the spikes, and carriage rose in the air

And we flew up and soon we Speed Up going toward the red Pagoda in the middle of the sect

Today was the awaking ceremony that was held every five years. Every child from age five to twelve would go there to test their spiritual roots

there was a similar one just outside the mountain sect

I had gone once before when I was five, but; I hadn’t awakened a spiritual root at that time.

I still remember what granny had taught me

Cultivation for mortal is using a hoe to prepare and use the land for growing things

“For immortal instead of using a hoe to plow a field for crops you are using the given breathing technique to prepare your body to receive Qi and then the following way to grow your body and soul, for example, martial artist use martial arts to prepare and harness their vitality and cultivate their body”

I had been preparing for two years. I had already gathered every resource and every possible thing I needed spiritual objects, pills, panacea, including many techniques

I had the ‘blazing sun sutra’, ‘water river sutra’, ‘earth breathing sutra’, ‘wood nursing art’,’ black obsidian essence sutra’ and ‘Dark wood sword art’ where the top of my list of my Daoist cultivation techniques they were all complete till nascent divinity all given to me by granny

As I reincarnated soul I had a lot of confidence in my spiritual root

Even if I don’t have them, I had Plan B

I had even had taken a martial art technique named ’oceanic tide body art’, a Confucianist technique “True flaming essence art” and even a ghost technique ‘5-ghost body art’

As I saw the pagoda approaching closer and closer, I felt happy and excited

I was all prepared to enter this new chapter in my life
