Chat with Grandpa

"Before I tell you about the different cultivation realms, first you have to tell me everything you know about cultivation," Grandfather said.

It was just my grandfather and me in the living room. My grandmother, my mother, and my sister, accompanied by my uncles and my cousin, had left the place after my grandfather's orders.

My grandfather's authority was absolute within the village, and this could be seen by observing how everyone followed the grandfather's orders without opposing him. Of course, I didn't draw this conclusion for this reason alone but by searching the memories of the previous Theo to confirm this fact.

At first, I didn't understand why my grandfather had this vast amount of authority. The village was not very large, but more than a hundred people lived there. Many of these were healthy, young men, so I was surprised that the grandfather continued to serve as the leader of the village and maintain his position and authority.

But now that the grandfather was talking about cultivation and inner strength, everything started to make sense. Grandfather had previously said that the ancestor who had taken the blood oath was at the level of Xiantian. So what level was my grandfather at?

"The truth is that I don't know much, I barely know that cultivation is based on absorbing nature energy and transforming it into internal energy," I replied, sincerely.

In the memories of the previous Theo, there was nothing to do with cultivation. It wasn't until recently that the boy had come into contact with her. As far as I knew, the villagers didn't know about that either.

Grandfather looked at me, an in-depth look in his eyes. He seemed to be looking for something in me. Maybe he suspects something? It can't be, my acting skills are world-class, and my skin is the thickest on earth. How could I face my patients' husbands if I didn't know how to act?

"I suspected that your mother had told you something, but it doesn't seem that way. I guess I'll have to tell you everything from the beginning." Grandfather sighed.

Here he comes.

"Cultivation is one of the great mysteries of the world. It's the process by which a mortal can become a god."

"A god?" I asked, stunned. Could I become a god if I followed this path?

"Don't get emotional so fast. Becoming a god is just a legend, only someone with the best talent, the best luck and the best resources could become a god."

So that's how it is. It seems that becoming a god is difficult. It's not that I feel discouraged, I'm not even able to cultivate, why would I be discouraged?

I lack talent, not being able to cultivate the family technique. I lack resources because I will be expelled from the village. What I don't lack is luck, that's for sure.

I think I am the only person in this world who can say that he died after living a life of pleasure and reincarnated in another world. For this reason alone, I already consider myself a fortunate person.

One can become a god. That is certainly tempting. Grandpa cultivates the Lionheart technique, how far is he from becoming a god? I'm going to ask him.

"On what level are you, Grandpa? Are you going to become a god?"

Grandfather looked at me with a strange face. Is the question I asked so stupid? Yes, of course, it is evident that grandfather is far from being a god. Would I have to leave the village if my grandfather were a god? Would grandfather stay in this small village if he were a god? Of course not.

But even so, the previous Theo was an idiot. For the moment I have to pretend a little so as not to attract too much attention, I will be free once I leave the village.

"At present, I am in the intermediate stage of Houtian," Grandfather spoke proudly.

I can't say anything about whether it was too much or too little, as I have no idea what Houtian is.

Grandfather seemed to have seen that I did not understand, so he began to explain.

"The Xiantian realm is the third realm in cultivation. The first two are Mortal and Houtian. Each kingdom is divided into four phases: Initial, Intermediate, Final, and Peak."

"What realm is beyond Xiantian?" I asked grandfather.

"I don't know. The writings of our ancestors only speak up to the Xiantian kingdom, but there should be more levels. It's a shame we'll never be able to reach that level."

Grandfather's words left me confused; why couldn't they ever reach that level? Once again, grandfather seemed to have seen through me.

"The Lionheart technique at our disposal is incomplete. With the one we currently possess, the most we can reach is the final stage of the Houtian realm. We can't even get close to the last phase." Grandfather sighed.

"Why?

"I don't know. Maybe our ancestors didn't want us to leave this village." Grandfather shook his head.

Grandfather's words caught my attention. Couldn't they leave the village? Wasn't it the other way around, as I was unable to stay in the village?

"I don't understand, grandfather. Can't you leave the village?"

"That's right. The blood oath of our ancestors not only prevents Lionheart who cannot practice the family technique from remaining in the village, but it also prevents Lionheart who can practice the technique from leaving the village. Grandfather sighed for the umpteenth time.

It can't be, can't the family leave the village? Are they destined to stay in the village forever? Does that not mean I won't be able to see my sister and mother again?

I clenched my fists tightly. What an injustice this was, this blood oath was forcing me to separate myself from my women even before I touched them!

"How can I break this blood oath? Is there no other way but to overcome the Xiantian kingdom?" I asked grandfather. In him were all my hopes of being able to fuck my mother and sister, as well as my aunt and cousin.

"I only know that way. You can't break the blood oath if you don't overcome the strength of its creator."
