《Heart of a tree》Chapter 20 the way
Advertisement
I felt fucking amazing
Cultivation felt Pretty damm good
Every time I absorbed a 5-coloured particle my body felt awesome
I felt refreshed, stronger and full of life
Granny Yu was so right
In my early days,
I never really understood her
Granny Yu used to tell me how the plants and trees feel incomplete without sunlight.
I used to scoff at that
How could she possibly know what plants or trees feel?
But every day she used to insist that I should sit close to the plants and trees
And try to sense how these plants and trees absorb the sunlight and turn it into their strength
just like how cultivators absorb Qi and grow powerful
And day after day I sat in the garden full of greenery feeling nothing for 5 years
After I used to complain to her every single day
And every single day She would smile at me a stroke my hair
And tell me how cultivation felt amazing and how I would feel this feeling one day and understand what she was talking about
One day
Being an educated man from another advanced world
So I knew about photosynthesis
But I never really understood was granny was trying to teach me
Until Now
Now, I know granny was super right
Cultivation does feel amazing
and different
Not only that
It made me feel complete,
Like something was missing from my life before cultivation and now I found the missing piece
I felt truly happy
But along with this great joy, there was this strange and strong rage bubbles up inside me
Threatening to burst from within me at any second
And there was this sadness deep down in my heart
I couldn't understand my situation my emotions my feeling was all over the place
Anger, joy, sadness I felt all these emotions at the same time
I was confused
I tried to think and organise myself
My emotions, my memories and my thoughts came to me like a tsunami
They were slowly merging into one
I was slowly understanding what was happening
This is was my inner self
I slowly placed and understood my shit
I began to understand myself and what I 'am and what I want to do
All my life this and the previous one I was a doormat
I was a looser a pathetic person
I wanted to change that
I didn't want to be the same guy before
I didn't want to be afraid anymore
I was extremely angry at everything
And this anger fueled my conviction to grow stronger to never feel fear again
The anger made me feel invisible
I felt unstoppable
Like no one could stop me
No one could suppress my will
My anger is incredible
But I didn't want the anger to be my prime emotion
I didn't want to feel angry all the time
I don't want to be controlled by this emotion
My father used to say:
"It is an emotion of a weak man son, don't let it yourself be a weak man"
I understood that anger was a part of me now but so were other emotion
I can't choose what to feel but I can choose what to about with them

Over the past couple of months
I've left my life in the hands of fate in the hands of other people
In some way, I gave it to the God who brought me here
I was either too afraid or too weak to make my decision
I've come to terms with my fears, as I begin my journey to cultivate
And So, I have made a session.
I have chosen a way of life
My way to live
I will grow up
I will face my fears head-on
I will fulfil my vengeance
By growing more powerful
And I will share this power with all those with whom I can
I won't be cruel
But I won't be nice either
If I see a random person going through some tough time
I won't help him
They need to solve their own problem
And for one who has too
much pain
I will act
I won't leave anyone in pain and suffering
I will take this power of rage into myself
But I won't let it control me
I will never lose anyone I love again without doing anything about it
I will be happy
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"!!!!!!
My thoughts were interrupted whatever state I was in was disturbed
I felt like some just came kicked me awake
I came to my sense with a pain ringing through me
And saw an angry pollux looking down on me with a pair of condescending eyes and a disgusted expression
I opened my mouth to answer but I shouldn't have bothered
Pollux didn't want an answer
He proceeded without waiting for my reply
" say nothing your is particular irritating today," he said rubbing his ears
"Come on let's go we have work to do"
With that once again he turned around and began to leave
I hurriedly four up and followed not forgetting to act blind
Just behind me, a heard a giggle then the crazy naked began to single
"Adventure, an adventure we going on an adventure.......
" wait for me, wait for we going an adventure.................
Okay, he and I need to have a serious talk.............
..................................................
"Yes this is a good idea" old bu said in his raspy voice
"Do you agree?" Pollux asked astonished
"Good then I will arrange it tomorrow"
Pollux nodded excitedly
But a word from Old bu poured cold water on Pollux
"No"
"No?" Pollux asked baffled
"No" old Bu agreed
Pollux looked at old Bu as if he was mad
"But you just agreed that it was a good idea," pollux asked
"Yes it is a good idea" old Bu said
Pollux looked angry
"I am confused then why the refusal"
"Since when do I have to explain my thoughts to you Pollux?"
Pollux was started at that and stepped backwards
Old bu chuckled at the man's action
"Yes it is a good idea but the child is not ready yet"
Pollux carefully backed away
"Then when will he be ready?
Pollux asked
" When I say he is" was old bu said
"Now go away before I change my mind about kill my mind about killing you"
Pollux just turned and flew away

Old Bu just snorted coldly
A very pregnant mature woman marginalised out of thin right next to Old bu
"Why don't you just kill him father " the woman spoke in a melodious voice
Old bu smiled kindly at the woman
"He has his uses"
The woman pouted that made her more charming
The woman started to stroke her belly
"Will all this be worth it?"
"I hope so"
"for all our sake I hope" old BU said his face visible withered
"How long before this child is
born," Old Bu asked
The woman's pout disappeared and was replaced with a motherly kind smile
"6 years," she said
"Then I will have delay for long as possible"
"The child will be a monster," she said with a sad tone
"No, it will be not"old bu said sternly
" I will make sure of that"
The women looked at old Bu with sympathy
"You are putting a lot of trust on a child's head father"
" haaaahaaa" old Bu started to laugh
"You underestimate the heavens daughter"
.the woman frowned
"The heavens I'm talking about the child"
"You will see, you will see"
Old Bu said cryptically
"We should concentrate on training the boy, "old Bu said
he seemed to have lost his trust in me"
Old bu said
"What will you?"
"What I can do for our salvation"
.................................................
I had failed miserably so
I had thought that anger wouldn't control me
May promised it wouldn't control me
That I won't let it be my prime emotion
But try as may any other emotion was either too weak to overcome the anger or not required at all
The closest that came was sadness but it was quickly transformed into anger
But it has been a year now anger was the only driving force within me
Just a few months ago I tried to unlock my leg acupoints which
I quickly realised that to successfully do so
I was required to simulate my
legs
So I asked Old Bu who told me to run on the walls
I still didn't trust old Bu at all but I had a sort of a lie detector now
As I found out that at The lake that formed in my mind
I formed a projection of myself and whatever practice I did there was not done in real life
that meant I could practise any technique sutras mantra there seeing all its flaws correcting them even if I died I could know what to do
I had already corrected perfected and adapted all the techniques to my suitability
No matter the technique advice I would first do it the lake and corrected the flaws if any
Over the time frame 2 years, I found except for the technique first given to me by Old Bu everything was up to code
So I started to ask for advice from him but I never trusted him
To stimulate my legs
I would run from one end of the training room where Pollux trained me
Towards the wall
I took several steps up the wall with my momentum then flipped over to land on my feet
I did this over and over again with burning pain running through my legs
I wanted to stop, if I missed a single step I would fall badly a couple of times my neck nearly broke
But every time I tried to stop an unstoppable rage took over forcing me to continue
This rage had completely taken over me and as I got better with pollux and old bu training
I developed a useless sense of pride that wouldn't let me back down
My pride didn't even allow me to hide that I couldn't see but I still did so with great difficulty and convection
I felt scared this wasn't me sometimes I felt someone was taking over me
I asked old Bu for help he told me to meditate and find inner peace
So I did I tried to abandon the physical training but after a few days it felt restless
I couldn't sit still
So I went back to it
Now I divided my day into two sections
In the day I would try to kill myself with physical training from sunrise to sunset
And at night I would meditate and try to absorb the 5-coloured particle
Which turned out to be 5-elemental Qi
My soul root was a 5-element mountain
Which I found by reading the books Old Bu gave me
Reading with my new eyesight was a bitch my vision kept going in and out of focus
I had to practice for 6 months before I got the hang of it
I had opened 641 appoints in my body
All the acupoints would palate with cool energy causing my body to radiate with this cold energy
CAusing no shortage of headache as I had to hide most of my strength from Pollux old bu and anyone who came to check
I even had Julia beat me up every day without fail
I was so strong that I was able to crack open large boulders dig a tunnel and run really run fast
I was becoming a real-life superman step by step
Even so that the difficult regimen of 5000 push to sit up didn't even face me
The only time I relaxed was when I slept
For some strange reason, I was only able to sleep for 3 hours
No matter how tired I was how fatigued I was 3-hour sleep I would rise up like a new man
In one year many things have changed I made a friend who is a fucking Ghost
The dude name is or was Sam he is a very highly educated practitioner of something called 'the light sword'
And every day he would warn me when someone called the priest would come to watch me
He also taught me meditation techniques to find inner peace
He was a little cuckoo but who isn't
"The priest is here, the priest is here............
Right on Que Sam started to shout
I took my 'I'm a harmless small stupid child' look
And pretended to struggle to meditate
My life was totally weird now
ghosts mediation hide and seak and what not

8 133Alpha Physics - Post Apocalyptic LitRPG
A LitRPG Post Apocalyptic Novel. I would just like to thank everyone who has left comments and suggestions. I am confident that your feedback has made this a better series.

I have also left the first two chapters of book 1 up as sample chapters for those who have not read the series yet. Word of warning the first third of the book is apparently very slow and then gets a lot better. Synopsis In the apocalypse, the first weapon he’ll have to upgrade is himself. The end of the world as we know it couldn’t come at a worse time for Adrian. One minute, he’s an operations manager who’s overseeing a construction job in the wilderness. The next, an unknown energy force changes the very nature of life itself, from the smallest organism to the top of the food chain. The earth’s surviving inhabitants, its environment, and the very laws of physics have all undergone fundamental transformations. Many of those changes aren’t pretty. Plenty of them are deadly. Luckily for Earth, this has happened to other species before, and everyone receives an interface that survivors of similar events have used to navigate through an alien landscape. Adrian’s going to need every advantage he can get. He’s stranded in the middle of nowhere, there are days, maybe weeks of travel between him and his family, and in a world full of monsters and mayhem, survival means beating the learning curve…

In his previous life he was a successful artist, but now he faces a strange new world reduced to the most pitiful of dungeon dwelling monsters and with no survival skills to aid him.

He will push through the boundaries of his species to evolve further. The path ahead is long and arduous. Especially for a young goblin trapped in a small dungeon of a dying town. In order to succeed, he will have to forge bonds with those around him and rise to the challenges waiting for him. But will stepping further into the path of a monster really bring him closer to regaining his lost humanity?
