Cultivating

Xie Jian woke up, his body that was previously filled with holes was now fixed, he looked around and saw it was the exact spot where he died except it was the morning, fearing the clan might come back to pick up his body he ran away as fast as possible.

Xie Jian's fear was right as a few hours later an elder with a group of guards behind him went to the spot of Xie Jian's death and saw the body disappeared and there was no blood trail to follow.

Due to Xie Jian's seclusion, he had a lot of time to read the books his parents left behind, he knew that he lived in the Azure Spirit Continent, the Xie clan lived in the small Crimson Rose Prefecture and there were 7 other prefectures. He also knew that cultivation has different levels of strength

Half Martial Ascendeant

Martial Ascendant

Martial Ascendant is the peak of the Azure Spirit Continent and the most he learned is that the pathway of cultivation split after Martial Ascendant Realm. When he teleported, Xie Jian felt the cultivation technique Death gave him to flow into his head, it was called the Divine Void Cultivation Arts. Normal people cultivate using Spirit Qi in the atmosphere but the Divine Void Cultivation Arts uses the Qi between the Physical and Spirit Planes of existence, the void plane contains powers way more powerful causing anything inside of the void to be destroyed instantly. Only certain people with powers over the void, like the Void Spirit God Clan, can control it. In the void is the 4 destruction elements Crimson Void Fire, Violet Void Lightning, Azure Void Wind, and Midnight Void Water.

Xie Jian walked for a while until he found the Black Leaf City. He knew this city was 6 kilometers away from the clan which was barely any distance for a cultivator to travel so he actually scouted around for a bit. Xie Jian in the clan didn't have anyone to rely on so he often had to sneak around to get food and other materials causing him to mature a little faster and learn different life skills.

Good thing he didn't rush in because he saw wanted posters with his own face, so if he ran into the town he would be immediately captured or even killed. Xie Jian decided to stay in the forest for the night and try to cultivate a little since he now gained that ability.

After walking around for a while he found a cave to practice in that was relatively far from the city. When Xie Jian was teleported out of hell the cultivation technique was transferred into his head, so he didn't need the physical copy. He sat down in the middle of the cave in a meditative position. He then started breathing in a very weird way, this was one of the only things his parents left behind, a breathing technique called the Ice Heart Breathing Formula. It calmed his heart getting rid of all current feelings the person might have which is the perfect time for cultivation. Breathing techniques are very rare, especially techniques like the Ice Heart Breathing Technique.

After spending 10 minutes and the effects on the breathing formula came into effect he started searching for Qi. Since it's his first time cultivating he needed to search for Qi, specifically the Void Qi. It took 5 hours even with his talent due to the obscurity of the Void Qi, but after he found a strand the Divine Void Cultivation Technique started and the Qi started getting sucked into his body. The 4 destruction elements started gathering in his body and the void cyclone appeared in his Dantain, this was what connected the physical plane and the void plane for Void Constitution users.

Due to Xie Jian using the Ice Heart Breathing Formula without Qi for so long his body was like an extremely large empty reservoir for Qi, this allowed his cultivation to jump from no cultivation to Body Refinement and then to Martial Apostle in one go. But this came at a price as he felt his cultivation vitality drop and he passed out.

Xie Jian woke up and walked up of the cave, completely devoid of any complexion, he was hungry and thirsty. He couldn't cultivate until his cultivation vitality came back.

Xie Jian walked for a while till he found a waterfall oddly right next to the cave and the city. Xie Jian thought "So there is a cave and a waterfall with fresh water right next to a town, this is really convenient."

Xie Jian took off his clothes and jumped into the water. He cupped his hand, scoping the water into his hands and drank it, relieving his thirst and clearing his mind. He then realized that he wasn't in the body refinement stage but the Martial Apostle Realm.

Xie Jian thought "THIS, the fastest person to reach the Martial Apostle realm is the clan ancestor, Xie He, when he was 17 years old, I am only 10 years old."

Xie Jian wore his clothes when he heard talking in the distance, Xie Jian was a little startled and hid behind a boulder near the pond and the waterfall.
