Chapter 2: Legacy of Immortals

While charging towards the female being, Zes mind was clouded by unimaginable hate and sorrow. Hate on the beings that killed so many people just for fun and will probably continue doing so until humanity will die out. Hate on himself for being so powerless. Hate on the female being that killed his father just before his eyes. Sorrow on the deaths of his family.

But suddenly there was a change in his mind. A gentle divine like light appeared in middle of all his hate and sorrow, and started to clear his head.

Outside of his mind the time seemed to be frozen and he was just in his jump towards the female being.

The light soon also spread out to the other parts of his consciousness.

After the light covered his whole mind and cleared away the last clouds of anger and sorrow. A strange tranquility overcame him making him overly calm.

Soon memories began to flood his mind and he heard an ancient but gentle voice.

„I'm the immortal Calmlight. A human from another realm.”

After Zes managed to suppress the shock of the memories flowing into his mind and the sudden introduction of the immortal, he quickly sorted his new knowledge.

„According to the memories in my head you should be a human cultivating an immortal technique, which allows you to gather an energy form named qi into your body and cause some mutations to it, right? The strange human like beings are spiritual beasts called demons, that have the same ability to train as immortals and they came here because some big shot of your realm ascended into our realm and left a biiiiiig hole. The other demons followed him and came to this realm.“

The voice in his head seemed to frown and Zes started to ask himself, how something that has not face can frown.

Then he realized how strange it was for him to be having a somehow normal conversation with a part of the soul of an immortal while being time frozen in middle of trying to kill the murderer of his family in a bloody frenzy.

It is probably the light from before that made me this calm. But hey what's with this situation? IN MY MIND I'm talking to a fucking PIECE of an IMMORTAL that is from a fucking DIFFERENT WORLD.............................Well If I were to sell this light to people with weak nerves I would easily make a future.

„Well I if you think you can make a future with it, that’s fine but could we get back to the main theme?

Your right with the big shot thing, but I have to say, I have never seen someone describing the path of immortal in this way. It's seems that the humans from these world have a different view on the natural laws as we have right? “

The voice said this while interrupting the inner monologue of Zes

„Yup, since the inhabitants of this realm are much more advanced than the ones of your side... wait, can you read my thoughts? “

„Well, since we are speaking in your mind, I have originally read your mind the whole time. “

„Oh, right. I forgot. “

The voice thought for some time.

„Well, you got the cultivation technique, right? “

„Yes, I got it along with the basic information on the cultivation world. “

„I have also left you some of my cultivation base. The cultivation progress is ranked in different stages.

First is the bodystage. Where one trains the body to perfection.

After that there is the gathererstage, in that you gather the qi in order to lay the foundation for the condensionstage and the foundationstage.

In the corestage you form a Cultivation core.

From the point you get into the corestage you can consider yourself as pretty strong.

After the corestage there comes the nascentstage. In the nascentstage you form a Spirit soul. From that stage you are practically immortal.

After that, there are still other stages but you will naturally learn about them while cultivating.

The cultivation base I left you is on the condensionstage, so you should be able to deal with that demon that killed your family.

„Since you already got everything I wanted to give you, I will just disappear in a short time“

„Oh.....ok than goodbye“

„Shouldn't you be saying something as, oh no stay here, how will I make it without you as my mentor, or something like this. “

Zes made a mocking smile.

„Would it change anything? “

„........Well not really? “

„Than why should I do it? “

There was a moment of silence.

The voice said awkward.

„Well it would have been nice if you did it anyway. “

SILENCE

„Ok, please stay here master, I can't do without you. That's ok? “

„Well, I guess it passes. “

„Now for real, I thank you, master. “

Zes made three bows in his mind.

The light faded and Zes strange encounter with the immortal ended. When the light faded, time began to flow again and Zes found himself in the air while jumping at the demon (being).

When he looked at the demon woman now, he could see that she was only of the Gathererstage. His mind was calm like water in a pond and there was no sign of the frenzy he was in before.

Zes quickly used a technique described in his memory and formed a torn in his hand.

Surprised, the demon didn't manage to defend herself and the thorn pierced her throat.

Dark red blood sprayed and the woman fell to the ground.
