Hope

Everyday… Yang Tian had gotten used to using his soul energy to cultivate 'Great Way of the Buddha.'

It had been 20 or so days since he had regained his consciousness here. He had met the boy who had brought him to his grandfather to heal him.

The little boy was only 10 or so years old. And it appeared that both he and his grandfather lived in seclusion here. They both didn't have great talent…

Because of no resources and techniques, the boy was still not a profound cultivator. At the same time, his grandfather was merely at the 2nd Level of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Yang Tian would rarely talk with them, but he was quite grateful to this old man taking care of him. He knew the old man didn't have to do such a thing and save him…

He knew the old man definitely had some other intentions as well, but he merely didn't mention them. Yang Tian didn't care much, though. Once his body recovered, he would be able to cultivate once again. At that time, it wouldn't be difficult to give some benefits to the old man…

Besides, the old man was utterly shocked as he continued to observe Yang Tian's condition every day. He couldn't understand how this youth was recovering so quickly from those grave injuries. But he was naturally delighted to know this.

Suddenly, Yang Tian's eye flashed as he felt the Silver Pagoda in his consciousness enlargen again. It filled Yang Tian's entire consciousness before it shattered into brilliant silver rays of light that covered Yang Tian's whole body.

His speed of recovery nearly tripled.

'I have advanced to the 2nd Stage of 'Great Way of the Buddha'?' Yang Tian didn't think his body was injured to such an extent that even before fulling recovering, he would advance to the 2nd Stage of the 'Great Way of the Buddha.'

This was naturally a good thing.

If he kept on going with his current pace, he would have needed more than 10 or so days before fully recovering. But now… His body was being reformed since he had reached the next stage of 'Great Way of the Buddha.'

"Alright… I guess it's time to get used to this body." Yang Tian muttered while standing up.

When the old man saw Yang Tian standing up and jumping around, he was about to scold him.

But Yang Tian spoke quicker than him, "Don't worry, old man. I feel fine now… other than a few injuries… I am pretty much healed now." He even gave a smile as if to make the old man believe his words.

The old man let out a sigh, "Since you can walk despite the pain, I won't say anything. I am honestly astounded that you can walk after merely 20 days since arriving here. Moreover, I didn't even use a single spiritual medicine to heal your body, yet it has recovered so quickly."

"Alright, tell me what you want me to do for you. I am sure you had a reason to save me." Yang Tian asked the old man quite straightforwardly while he was exercising.

"Umm…Y-Yes…" The old man was startled upon realising that this youth had seen through his intentions.

Upon noticing that the old man was so startled, Yang Tian chuckled in response, "Don't worry too much. As long as it would be within my power, I would help you. For better or worse, you did save my life. Now tell me what you want…"

The old man stayed quiet for some time before he started speaking, "… You were brought back in an extremely injured stated, but I noticed that you were still breathing. I initially thought that I should take care of you for a few days before taking you to the Medical hall..."

"… but your rapid recovery rate astounded me. I was also unable to see through your cultivation base. I thought that you might be one of the geniuses of a sect. So, I decided to keep you in my house and take care of you. I don't want anything much… I just hope you will allow lead Bao'er to go along with you and join your sect." The old man looked a little anxious as he stared at the smiling youth in front of him.

Bao'er or more specifically Ji Bao was the name of his grandson.

'This old man is sincere and naïve… Because of my injuries and recovery rate, combined with the fact that he wasn't able to see through my non-existent cultivation base, he thought I am a genius of some sect. Would he be disappointed to know that he didn't save some genius of the sect but a 'useless fellow'? Even if his reaction would be amusing, I guess I should give him some benefit, he did save my life.' Yang Tian thought with a small smile on his face.

The smile on his face and the confidence that luxurious radiance exuded… The old man felt even surer that this youth was a disciple of one of those sects. Such confidence was something that could only be seen on the faces of the sect disciples…

"You are right about some things, but you got something wrong. I am not a sect disciple… I am a disciple of the Blue Wind Profound Palace. You can say I am a disciple directly under the Blue Wind Empire… As for your request, I agree to let your grandson join the Blue Wind Profound Palace, but not now." Yang Tian said with a face exuding full of confidence.

When the old man heard that Yang Tian was a disciple of the Blue Wind Profound Palace, he nearly wanted to kneel. Heavens! He never expected that this guy was a disciple directly under the Blue Wind Empire. However, when he heard Yang Tian speaking that he wouldn't bring his grandson right now, he couldn't help but show a disappointed look. Perhaps he had been too hopeful…

Before the old man lost all hope, Yang Tian added, "You don't need to be disappointed about it. It's just that it would be unsuitable for your grandson to enter the Blue Wind Profound Palace right now… The Princes are in the battle for the throne. They are forming their group by choosing from the Blue Wind Profound Palace, your grandson might be caught in those truffles. You should understand my meaning, right?" He gave a knowing look to the old man…

How could the old man not understand what he meant?! He was naturally aware that it would be suicide if his grandson interacted with any one of those powers!

"Thank you…?" He realised that even though he had taken care of this youth for all these days, he hadn't gotten his name. The old man was also slightly embarrassed to ask it.

"My name is Yang Tian."

All that Yang Tian had said was naturally bullshit filled with complete lies. He hadn't made any contact with the Blue Wind Empire yet. He had only arrived in this world nearly a month ago… But considering the knowledge he possessed, it wouldn't be hard for him to possess such qualifications in around a year.

'Bao'er will really join the Imperial Family's Profound Palace?!' The old man couldn't help but let his grin stretch from ear to ear. He really was thrilled right now.
