I Can’t Read...

'Isn't that the same as the Perfect Body stage?' Jian Tian thought to himself 'But the Perfect Body stage starts much later on than the the five major thresholds, wait this doesn't make any sense!'

'The reason why the Perfect Body stage was so much later on was because the body wasn't strong enough to handle the changes and the breakdown of the body, so that's why it's much later, but the cultivation here starts with the Perfect Body stage! Doesn't that mean that this world cultivators has a very high chance of dying once they start cultivating?' Jian Tian pondered to himself.

The cultivation of this world was vastly different from the cultivation that his world had and that made him more and more curious about this world. "Mom, I've decided to cultivate! But do you have a book about cultivation?"

Jian Xue was shocked, she had thought she had to make Jian Tian read the book before cultivating but right now, he had just asked for the book without her doing anything.

"Mhm" When she arrived at the bookshelf she grabbed a thick and old looking book and passed it to Jian Tian "Make sure that you read everything in this book before cultivating alright?" She had to make sure that Jian Tian would read the book before cultivating, otherwise, he might fail and cause great harm to himself.

"Unn" Jian Tian has wanted to read the book either way hence the reason why he agreed. Right when Jian Xue was about to shower since today was shower day, but she was stopped by a sudden pull of her robes.

Jian Xue looked down at who pulled on her robes and saw Jian Tian "Hmm? Did something happen?"

Jian Tian pointed at one of the words inside the book "I can't read..." When Jian Tian said this he blushed a bit out of embarrassment. When he arrived at this world his mom spoke Chinese hence the reason why he thought that the language was the same, but when he tried to read the written language, It was much more different.

'How could I forget that Tian'er couldn't read yet!' Jian Xue said to herself "Alright, I'll teach you after I shower, but make sure that you pay attention when I teach you alright?"

"Un" Jian Tian nodded excitedly. 'After I can read I can finally learn how this world's cultivation works! I might even be able to modify the cultivation method' Jian Tian was naturally excited, he has never heard of such a cultivation method or else he would've known but if he knew, this world would've been too boring! That's why he had asked the heavens to restart his cultivation instead of restarting his cultivation himself.

If he had just restarted his own cultivation then he would've remained on the same world instead of going through rebirth and going into another world. Of course it was also a risk hence the reason he only restarted his cultivation then and not further back.

*Creak* Jian Tian turned towards the creaking noise and saw Jian Xue coming out with steam following her. "Mom, can you start teaching now?" Jian Tian asked impatiently.

"Un" Jian Xue nodded with a hint of shock. Back when she was a kid; the only thing that she wanted to do was play outside and cultivate but when it came to learning, she would always find a way or excuse to skip classes, so she thought that Jian Tian would also try to do the same but instead he was eager to learn new things hence the reason why she was so shocked.

Jian Xue went to the bookshelf again but this time she grabbed a book that wasn't as thick as the cultivation book but it looked much older. "How nostalgic" She muttered to herself bitterly. She then blew off some of the dust on the cover and opened it to the first page.

Jian Xue grabbed a wooden chair and a small wooden table then She put the thick book onto the wooden table. "Tian'er come, sit here." Jian Xue said gesturing for Jian Tian to sit on her lap.

Jian Tian face instantly flushed red from embarrassment. Jian Tian slowly walked over and sat on Jian Xue's lap.

When Jian Tian looked at the book he noticed that it was actually a dictionary. 'Is she really going to make me memorize every single word? There's no way that she is making me memorize every single word! Even if she thinks highly of me there's no way that she thinks a 18 month old kid could memorize all of these words! She must be trying to make me memorize something else, but what is it?' Jian Tian started to pay attention to how each word was written, he was so focused that he forgot about him sitting on Jian Xue's lap.

"Alright so this means Turtle" Jian Xue pointed on the first character that was on the book. "This means wolf" Jian Xue pointed to the second word

...

After the three hundred word, Jian Tian's eyes suddenly lit up 'I found it! There was a pattern after all! It too pretty long for me to find it though' If Jian Xue heard his thoughts she would've had a heart attack!

"Mom, does this mean sword?" Jian Tian suddenly said.

Jian Xue's pupils constricted from the sheer amount of shock "H-How did you know?" She stared at her son in amazement and shock.

"I found a pattern to the characters" Jian Tian nonchalantly. He felt like there was no need to hide it since this wasn't a ground-breaking find or a secret hence the reason why he said it nonchalantly.

'A 18 month old found the pattern in a matter of hours but I took months to find it' Jian Xue looked at Jian Tian with a bitter smile and some hints of envy. 'I guess geniuses can't be compared to normal people can they?'

"Hmm? It's already this late at night?" Jian Xue noticed that there was no sunlight coming from the outside and could not hear any raining noises so she knew that it was already night time. "Tian'er it's time for you to sleep" Jian Xue said as she picked Jian Tian up from her lap and started carry him into his room.

"Goodnight" Jian Xue said as she kissed his forehead.

"Goodnight" Jian Tian said back.

After Jian Xue had left the room, Jian Tian layed there on his bed staring at the wooden ceiling with a wide smile and eyes looking forward to the future. If people from Jian Tian's world saw this, their jaws would drop so far down that it would reach the earth's core.
