3 Time Skip to 5 years

I am now 5 years old. As in the original story, my adopted father Xiao Ying has been assassinated due to helping my father Yun Qinghong by Sacred Ground members. As a child, I could not help stop it because I have not yet even started cultivating.

After 1 year from my birth, my little aunt Xiao Lingxi took birth. Due to preeclampsia conditions, her mother, Xiao Lei's wife died. I don't understand what problem does this family has? Did they develop any family curse or what?

I don't need to bother with those things. Now coming to my Little aunt, I started taking care of her from age 3 as there is no one in the family to attend to her needs. At my age, I look cuter unlike her who looks like an ugly duck.

I don't care about what others think. I do what I feel like to do. Because she looks ugly no children around her age play with her. So, I started taking proper care as an elder brother because I don't have any sister in my previous life on earth, it gave me quite a satisfaction.

My little aunt is so cute in my eyes. She listens to every word of mine attentively and helps me in my daily activities by always tagging with me. Her actions make my heart feel good. My adopted grandfather Xiao Lei has been taking good care of us even though he lost his dear wife and his son.

In the beginning, he felt depressed, later he overcame his grief with the help of us. He allots his time to play with us and always examines us, never taking off his eyes of us even for a moment. He believes that as long as he can make us happy all that matters. I once asked him what his cultivation level is. He told me that he is presently at the peak of the Spirit Realm.

One of these days I asked my grandpa to teach me to cultivate. On seeing my resolute eyes he gives a nod. Today he promised me to teach the foundation to cultivate. So I arrived in the courtyard early in the morning and am waiting for his arrival.

Xiao Lei came to the courtyard after some hours and with a happy smile says

"Che'er you're quite early today. You seem to be full of spirit. Are you that much interested in becoming a cultivator?"

I with a beaming smile answer "Yes grandpa, if I'm not strong and delay cultivation; how can I surpass you and how can I protect you and Little aunt from bad guys?"

What I said is absolutely correct. From what I know, in this world, the law of the jungle is followed. If I continue to slack off, then there might come a day where I had to lose everything. I don't accept such an outcome.

Why I asked my grandpa to train this early is because I want to grow stronger so that I can protect the ones I love (family) with my own power. I want to put my efforts into a maximum of that what I wish. Only then will there will be any difference between me and others. I do what I want. I do things my way. I want to break my limits constraining me.

Grandpa Xiao Lei happy with my answer nods happily "Che'er you have a good reason and I will do my best in training you." Grandpa now becomes a little serious "Now show me your hand."

My grandpa places his fingers on my wrist and started sending his profound energy into my body. I feel a warm sensation. Is this how it feels to have profound strength? I feel quite excited.

Xiao Lei searches his grandchild's profound veins and see that the veins are thicker than any others he has seen and are quite powerful. He puts the details at the back of his head and starts searching the opening of profound entrances.

1...2....4...5...8.....12.....16.... When he spreads a little of his profound energy he finds 16 profound entrances already opened. He was elated. He thinks that his grandson is an inborn genius in cultivation. As he goes on spreading his profound energy, his elated face slowly turns into shock and after some time .....24...30.....42...47.....51...53...54 it turns into utter disbelief.

Xiao Lei with a pale face and mouth wide open mutters "Heavenly God Spiritual Veins!....."

In all of his life, this is the first time he felt utter disbelief in examining his grandson's profound entrances.

While on the other side, Xiao Che thinks about the goddess had said. He ponders 'Is it what the goddess called benefits given to me? She told me that my destiny is a little different from the original plot. So that's it. Here I am given a set of profound veins without being crippled and am already enough thankful for her and now all the profound entrances are also opened. Maybe it is for the better. With my profound veins condition, I can now simultaneously concentrate on increasing my profound strength and I can allot a lot of time on strengthening my body condition. Thank you, the goddess'

Xiao Lei tells me in a very serious look he can muster and also a look of worry " Che'er, you must not let anyone excluding me know about your body condition. Okay?"

I answer honestly with a little bit of seriousness "Okay, if grandpa says so.."

I am not stupid I know even if a lit bit of information is leaked out I will be chased just like Yun Che with Sky Poison Pearl in the Original story.

Grandpa lets out a sigh of relief and says "Che'er let's start today's training!"

I reply with a cheering tone "Yaay!"
