Mortal Cultivation-Chapter 4

Chapter 4: The Birth Of A Legend

At this moment, Taoist Feng Mo was distraught. He realized he shouldn’t have hesitated at the beginning when he had the chance to send his consciousness into the blank body of the unborn baby. This had now cost him the opportunity of having his own sacred spirit body.

After barely escaping the tribulations, Taoist Feng Mo’s divine consciousness was about to enter this baby’s sea of ??consciousness and take over the body, when he found that the baby’s blank sea of ??consciousness had already been occupied by Wang Wei.

Taoist Feng Mo could decide to forcibly wipe out Wang Wei’s consciousness from the baby’s sea of awareness, but doing so would only cause damage to the baby’s sea of ??consciousness. It would, irreparably, turn the baby into a dumb person. This would also be a great disaster for Taoist Feng Mo in the future.

Hearing this, Wei couldn’t help himself but said. “Great Taoist, I think this is just a dream! After a while, I’ll wake up and all this would no longer exist to me. You may be able to control this baby’s body by then!”

“Huh? Dreaming?” Taoist Feng Mo couldn’t help but mutter in astonishment. “And what kind of dream are you having?”

What kind of dream? Wei thought about the question. Suddenly, he realized that what he said wasn’t totally reasonable, and sighed. After a few seconds, he asked. “What now, great Daoist? What is the plan? Do you want to find another body of a Sacred Spirit or....?”

“Haha!” Taoist Feng Divine laughed miserably. “Look for another body? Yea, right. What do you think the Sacred Spirit body is? Spirit Pill? On the entire Sacred Spirit Continent, there hadn’t been a sacred spirit body like this for thousands of years. This old man was only fortunate to find this one at the right time. For now, I can’t exist outside this body. And I’m too weak to begin another sacred search, even if another one exists, which I doubt.”

.....

After Wei listened to this information, he fell silent. After a long time, he said. “You can only occupy a sacred spirit body which, probably, only appears once in five, ten thousand years? That means you’re stuck here... I mean I’m stuck in here with you.”

Taoist Feng Mo sighed. “Oh, think nothing of it. This is heaven’s will, and heaven’s will can’t be undone. You know what? This old man is also lucky to have you. Although my divine consciousness still exists, I won’t interfere in your ways. This way, I would keep my awareness in finding another body when I get strong enough. For now, try not to die. If you die, I die. Alright?”

“I see.”

“By the way, there is one more thing you must remember.” Taoist Feng Mo added with a harder tone. “This is not a dream. Don’t think you are dreaming, because you’re not. Have you ever seen such a real dream like this before? I advise you to face this now. The earlier the better for you, and for us.”

After listening to Taoist Feng Mo’s words, Wang Wei couldn’t help himself falling into silence again. Was he really not dreaming? Wang Wei was doubting the authenticity of everything in front of him before, but now, he was beginning to think otherwise.

He had encountered things in his dreams before, that made him realize he was dreaming, and when his consciousness aligned, he would wake up immediately. But this time was different. Wei had tried to wake himself up many times, but this dream was still going on. Was it all true? Was he reincarnated? So, was the previous Wang Wei dead?

Wei couldn’t help thinking of his mother. Since the death of his father, he had become the only spiritual sustenance of his mother. If he became stuck in this place, how would his mother live?

While Wei was thinking about all this, the voice of Taoist Feng Mo suddenly sounded in his mind. “Hm, through your memory, I also understand that you’re a loyal and filial person. Since you have appeared in our world, then your body in your home world must be dead. So, you don’t have to reminisce about the past anymore. Now If you don’t mind, I have something urgent to do.”

After listening to the Taoist, Wang Wei hurriedly closed his mind, and muttered. “If you have anything to do, please, go ahead.”

Wang Wei finally decided that even if it was a dream, he would have to live the dream. He could only hope it wouldn’t be too bad. For the time being, he would let himself be at ease and follow the tide.

Then, Taoist Feng Divine sighed. “I have suffered greatly from the heavenly tribulations. I barely escape with my soul. My spiritual consciousness is a little broken and incomplete. I will meditate for a long time, and then practice with great concentration in the sea of ??your consciousness to repair the broken consciousness. During this period, if you are in danger, you have to take care of yourself.”

After listening to Wei, he immediately said. “Great Taoist, you can be rest assured that as long as my life is my own, I will pay more attention to it. But, I don’t know how long you will practice for?”

Taoist Feng Mo pondered for a moment, and couldn’t help sighing. “Oh! I’m not sure about the exact time either. Maybe a few years, or even decades. However, I will leave a trace of spiritual knowledge before I start practicing. Only wake me up when your life is in extreme danger.”

Wei nodded, and listened to Taoist Feng Mo as he continued to talk. “This world is completely different from your homeworld. Everywhere is full of death and killing. But fortunately, humans can awaken their spiritual power and condense it into crystals when they are eight years old. Practice as a foundation stage cultivator. This is the path to being a spiritual master.”

“I understand.”

“However, I have a cultivation method here that allows you to cultivate your spiritual power from now on. But its extremely hard. It will push your soul to the limit that you’ll think you’re dying. This way, you will practice eight years earlier than others, and when you grow to be eight years old, you will be farther away when you condense spiritual crystals. Isn’t that extraordinary? I’m letting you practice it because of your special sacred body. If you change to someone else, there is no way for you to practice this technique. Now I have imprinted this method into your consciousness, and you will be able to practice as long as you understand it carefully in the future.”

After Wang Wei had listened, he felt that his mind had suddenly became clearer. There seemed to be many symbols imprinted in his consciousness. After carefully examining it, the cultivation technique suddenly appeared clearly in his mind, and it was truly amazing. 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

“Alright, the methods have been passed on to you. By the way, you and I will be regarded as disciple and master in the future.” Taoist Feng Mo said, and sighed. “I can’t believe that I’ve lived alone all my life, and now only a trace of spiritual knowledge remains in my consciousness. Hmm... but don’t worry. I’ll teach you all I know as my disciple.”

Hearing this, Wang Wei hurriedly said respectfully. “The disciple Wang Wei will definitely cultivate well and not insult the prestige of his master.” He thought to myself, whether this was a dream or not, he would do his best to face it. When he woke up, it would be a great pleasure to have a good memory of the events.

Taoist Feng Mo nodded, and then said. “Well, my words as a teacher stop here, for now. If you have any questions, save it for later. You have to do things for yourself, for now.”

Wang Wei hurriedly said. “Teacher, I still have a question to ask.”

“Are you not paying attention? I told you I have to do some urgent things.” Taoist Feng Mo voiced, before sighing. “Alright, what’s the question?”

Wei hurriedly said. “There is one thing I don’t know, master. Why can I understand the words you’re saying, but can’t make sense of the words of other people?”

After listening to Wei, Taoist Feng Mo nodded immediately and said. “As your teacher, I communicate with you through the divine consciousness. Of course, there is no language barrier. Others can’t use the consciousness to communicate.” 𝙛𝘳𝒆𝒆𝒘e𝗯n𝗼𝘷𝚎𝚕.𝒄૦𝓶

Afterwards, Taoist Feng Mo glanced at Wei’s sea of ??consciousness. Wang Wei only felt a sudden tremor in his consciousness. Moments later, Taoist Feng Mo’s voice came in his mind. “Okay, Now I am going to start meditating and cultivating. You must take care of yourself, and don’t slack off in the matter of cultivation.”

“Yes, disciple will remember.” Wang Wei replied respectfully. When Taoist Feng Mo didn’t reply again, Wei knew he must have already gone into deep meditation.

A moment later, Wang Wei suddenly felt that the originally difficult and incomprehensible voices around him had become clearer. As he continued to listen, he heard the voice of the beautiful woman holding him.

“My son will be called Wei, Wang Wei.”
