You have 2 weeks left to live…

"B-brother feng? Why do you look so serious? Smile a little hehe! "

Itachi was calm as ice, he quickly tossed the divine dagger hidden behind his back into the system inventory.

" Brother Bai, what can i help you with? "

Bai xiao chun nodded mischievously at itachi.

" Hehe, i just came to notify you that the elders will be doing a sermon on cultivation at the martial pavilion, why dont you join me? "

' I dont think Bai xiou Chun knows that i havent been allowed into the pavilion, i dont even have a cultivation manual. I wonder if Bai xiao Chun can lend me his, until i can get a better one from the system '

" Brother Bai, let me have a shower first. Ill join you in a minute"

Itachi closed the door and went to freshen up.

***

Within the martial pavilion of the nether sect.

There were rows and rows of students within the training hall, they were eagerly waiting for the elder at the front to start the sermon.

Itachi was sitting at the back, analysing the elder at the front.

The elder slowly opened his eyes and the entire hall became silent.

Some students were even shacking from excitement, they held their breaths as they awaited the words that were bound to change their lives.

" Cultivation is the constant struggle against the laws of heaven and earth, some of you may have began this journey to change your lives.

But let me tell you, this is a world with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Your mistaken if you think this is a game! "

" One wrong move and you will pay the price with your life! The ultimate goal of cultivation is eternal life, to seek the essence of immortality, that is our lifes goal!"

" This sect will not allow free loaders , all of you must work hard and repay the sect for giving you this chance to cultivate "

The students gulped , they looked at the seriousness of the elder . Some couldnt even look at him in the eyes out of fear.

" Now, I will explain the realms and stages of cultivation"

" Number one, your cultivation is divided into 4 small realms. Low, mid, peak and half step.

Qi condensation is the first realm,
Foundation establishment being the second,
Core formation being the third
And lastly nascent soul being the fourth.

The realms above that even i am not qualified to know. Only the sect master and grand elders know this. "

One of the students couldnt help himself and abruptly shouted.

" Elder, what about the Immortal ascension of legends! What realm is that in, when can i ascend?! "

The elder looked at him sternly and sent a qi wave shooting directly at him.

BOOM!

The student who just spoke went flying!

" Impudence! You havent even learnt to walk yet and want to know about that legendary stage! With my 150 years of life, there has never been a single person who has reached that realm. Even the sect master wouldnt dare to imagine reaching it, let alone a frog in a well like you! "

The kid that went flying slowly got up with beads of sweat covering his forehead.

He thought he was dead!

Luckily the elder used little force and didnt aim to take his life.

" Now, i will explain the 4 minor realms within a big realm like Qi condensation. Low , mid, peak and half step. Each minor realm represents the concentration of your qi. As your cultivation progresses, the concentration of your qi becomes more potent and powerful. "

As the elder continued explaining , Itachi listened attentively. He marvelled at the similarities between qi and chakra.

' How interesting… The concentration of chakra did not exist. Chakra is always the same. The primal qi in this world has some similarities but is ultimately different. '

Itachi thought to himself.

" In order to advance your cultivation you must constantly circulate primal qi through your meridians, ultimately leading the qi to your dantian. After a certain amount of circulating, the dantian will eventually evolve in quality and produce better higher concentrated qi. Thus allowing you to advance in cultivation "

The students nodded eagerly, not missing even a letter of what the elder said.

After a few more minute of talking, the elder finally got up and dismissed the students.

" None of you will slack off, the first 10 to reach qi condensation low realm will receive a cultivation pill! "

The students eyes widened.

A cultivation pill was a miracle medicine that greatly aided in cultivating. Just one low grade pill was enough to buy a small city!

The students quickly ran to their dorms.

However…

Itachi was still sitting at the empty martial pavilion.

" Brother feng, lets go. Everyones left, dont you want the cultivation pill? "

Bai Xiau Chuns words reached deaf ears.

Itachi was staring off into space. But unknown to Bai Xiao Chun, Itachi was staring at the system panel.

{ The system would like to reward the host for starting his cultivation journey! A cultivation manual suited for the host will be given , please press accept }

' A reward? Whats the catch… I worked my bones off just to get the other prizes, why would it give me one for free?'

" System, whats the catch? "

Itachi inwardly asked.

{ System will not tolerate lazyness, I am hear to make sure you reach the peak. If you do not reach foundation establishment within 2 weeks your life will be terminated }

Itachis veins bulged, his calm poker face instantly disappeared!

He held the urge to curse at this robotic menace.

Of course there was a catch!

' 2 weeks? Are you kidding me, even the most supreme of talents would take atleast 6 months!'

{ Your 2 weeks time limit will commence now, please work hard! }

" Fuck you! "

Itachi cursed then quickly calmed himself, even in his previous life he had been through many struggles and difficulties, rarely ever cursing. But this robotic system made him loose his calm.

Bai Xiou chun almost jumped back in surprise at itachi.

" Brother feng? What did i say wrong? Why did you curse at me? "

Itachi quickly got up .

" My apoligies brother bai, something came to mind. It wasnt meant for you "

But before Bai Xiou Chun could even voice his his thoughts he saw itachi storm out of the pavilion and run towards his dorm.

" I think brother feng might have a stomach bug… "

***

Itachi arrived at his dorm breathing heavily.

' I have 2 weeks left to live, i cant waste a second! '

' System, accept the cultivation manual! '

Itachi clicked accept on the system panel and blue light entered his brain.
