Family Heirloom

"Julius, forgive me, your grandfather cannot make you a great Cultivator in this city. Despite being the only genius child of the Tiberius family to have reached the ninth level of the Heavenly Realm. Maybe your father's talent has passed on to you, but we couldn't teach you better, so you only have abilities like this," Tiberius Achilles whispered to his grandson.

"I don't blame you, Grandpa. Maybe I'm just not talented enough," Tiberius Julius replied, trying to reassure his saddened grandfather.

Tiberius Achilles took a deep breath. Then, he pulled something from under his clothes. It turned out to be a book, which he handed over to Tiberius Julius. The young man slowly accepted the book handed to him by his grandfather.

"What is this, Grandpa?" Julius asked.

"It is a family heirloom book passed down through generations in the Tiberius family. The book guides those who study it to the level of the Spiritual Realm and even to the realm of Semi-Fairies. However, no one in our family has succeeded in studying the book completely. Even your talented father could only reach the ninth level of the Spiritual Realm and did not break through to the Semi-Fairy level. I am giving this to you; perhaps you can surpass the limits your father had," replied Tiberius Achilles.

"Thank you for your trust in me, Grandpa. I will certainly try to study the contents of this book and complete it," Tiberius Julius said while placing the book given by his grandfather under his reversed clothes.

The attitude shown by Tiberius Julius truly amazed the leader of the Tiberius family. He couldn't understand what caused his grandson to change so drastically. The God of Light, residing within Tiberius Julius's body, knew how the young man used to behave. However, it only had Tiberius Julius's physical form and thoughts, not his attitude and soul; it was challenging for him to act as Julius used to.

"Julius, I'm glad you have matured. Whatever you went through a few days ago in that abyss where you fell, the change you have now truly makes me happy. Eventually, you will lead the Tiberius family after your uncles are gone. Because in your generation, you are the only male in the Tiberius family."

Tiberius Julius, the incarnation of the God of Light, actually knew how Tiberius Julius used to behave. But he was determined to be himself and not have the same attitude as the previous Tiberius Julius. In addition to undergoing reincarnation as Tiberius Julius, he intended to find out what really happened to him and the universe when he disappeared. He thought that for now, thousands of years might have passed, and many things might have changed.

"Try reading that book, and I want you to practice it directly. The last I knew, you were in the middle-level ninth stage of the Earth Realm. Try to break through to the next level by learning on your own. Maybe you can develop better than being taught by your useless uncles," Tiberius Achilles ordered his grandson.

Julius obeyed his grandfather's command. He took back the book that he had stored under his clothes earlier. He flipped through the contents of the book and read it. With the knowledge of the God of Light within him, the contents of the book were very easy for him to learn.

Julius was a bit disappointed to find that the contents of the book did not match what he desired. Even compared to the cultivation techniques he had created as the God of the universe; it was much more difficult. However, applying the cultivation he created to Tiberius Julius's weak physical body was still very risky.

"This book is actually too low-level. But maybe this is what I have to go through with this new body. I still can't apply the cultivation I created in Tiberius Julius's body. Let me find a way to improve the basic human body while I'm at it," Julius muttered to himself.

He began to cultivate according to the instructions in the book in his hands. He immediately used the guidance from the book to reach the Spiritual Realm. A strong surge of energy emanated from Tiberius Julius's body. This was felt by the leader of the Tiberius family. He thought Tiberius Julius had successfully broken through the first level of the martial spirit cultivation in the Spiritual Realm.

However, after careful observation, the old man was disappointed again. What he had hoped for turned out to be just wishful thinking. There was no progress in Tiberius Julius. The young man was still in the middle-level fifth stage of the Earth Realm.

"It seems like I was expecting too much. This child is not as talented as his father, who was a genius in the Tiberius family. It looks like the future of the Tiberius family will become even bleaker," Tiberius Achilles murmured deeply in his heart, then stood up.

Tiberius Julius stopped cultivating. He felt his entire body trembling, and his chest tightened, indicating that the limits of his body's capabilities had been reached. He did not want to force himself to continue cultivating and try to break through to the next realm because it could lead to the destruction of his body. Tiberius Julius stood up and walked towards his grandfather, expressing his gratitude.

"Thank you for your generosity, Grandpa, allowing me to study this book to make progress. I will strive to improve my abilities and not disappoint you," Tiberius Julius said humbly, trying to please his grandfather.

Tiberius Achilles simply patted his grandson's shoulder. He couldn't bring himself to say a word in response to Tiberius Julius's statement. His heart was so pleased to see the changes in his grandson. His delicate feelings even caused tears to well up in his eyes. Without saying a word, Tiberius Achilles then left the place and returned to his resting chamber.

Tiberius Julius himself did not mind it and was not offended by his grandfather's actions. He knew that his grandfather was experiencing deep emotions. Julius then walked away from the garden towards his room. Shortly after, Miller came to inquire about his needs.

"If the young master needs anything, just call for me," Miller said from behind Tiberius Julius's room door.

"Uncle Miller, would you like to accompany me for a walk around the city? I feel very bored just staying at home. Maybe I can entertain myself by seeing the cityscape," Tiberius Julius replied, opening the door to his room.

"Su-sure, young master," Miller stammered slightly, feeling a bit uneasy hearing his young master's request.
