Xianxia: Against The Trend

Ancient Texts

Waking up the next day, Huang had no motivation to operate the way he had always done before.

He practiced the boxing technique he had and then spend some time on sword practice.

To the current level he has reached he no longer needs to practice swinging the sword.

Based on his discovery he has no real need to become a full fledged sword cultivator.

Thus he gave himself some time for all the techniques he had.

After refinement of his spiritual energy again he went out to explore his mountain residence.

Previously he had already known of the existence of some low level beasts but now he had to understand his surroundings too.

After two hours of walking around he managed to get some of the spices from his previous life growing just around the mountain like weeds.

He collected a few and even went further to hunt some beast meet. Caught fish ins the nearby stream and prepared breakfast.

Since he had to improve the foundation og his body having meals can also be one of the ways to go.

The aroma drifting from the mountain was too pronounced, its just that since he did not have any friendship with most of the people they dare not enter.

That however did not stop them from having some discussions. At the same time he had finished his diner he could see someone arriving.

"Brother Su Tian, you visited me today what a surprise? " he spoke as he went over to invite him in.

The formations on the mountains are like that, and so is other residences. Without permission and one tries to breakthrough it's the same as damaging sect property.

The same time, as he had him enter he commented about the aroma which Huang downplayed.

He had not expected to almost create trouble in the vicinity of his residence..

"I visited yesterday but as usual you were sleeping. What cultivators need to sleep?"

Su Tian complained non stop until he was satisfied and Huang could tell he had some important thing to talk about so he let him rumble on until he was satisfied.

At the same time, the discussion switched to something that caught his attention.

"By the way junior brother, I got something good you will be interested. It was dug from out by some disciple and when I found them I managed to buy it from them. I wanted to call you yesterday to see it." He spoke more enthusiastically.

Huang was also very interested as he knew well how many good things Su Tian had found him over the years.

"Let me see it? " he asked hurriedly.

Seeing the enthusiasm, Su Tian was even more pleased with himself.

"Brother it is not with me. Lets go and view it at my place. Moving it would be inconvenient."

As he spoke he was already heading outside. Huang followed him too.

Truth be told, Su Tian was very curious about the stone too so he wanted to gain some insights from Huang as he has never failed him.

The two used their speed to move out and soon arrived at Su Tian's residence.

Observing the stone block from a far, it seemed nothing important.

After approaching it, especially the words written on it gave of some prestige. He could even see some ancient atmosphere present.

He moved around and admired it. And then turned around looking towards Su Tian.

"Where did you obtain this tablet anyway, and was it alone?" he then looked at a certain position on the tablet.

Without having understood everything about the tablet he could still figure out most of the information.

And thus he knew something was missing and as expected he heard Su Tian's words.

"Junior brother seem to have understood something indeed. I got something else but it is just a small piece of rock." He removed some palm sized rock from his bag and handed it over.

Checking out the stone, Huang started to fiddle with the tablet before pushing the palm sized rock into a corner of the tablet.

Instantly the tablet cracked but some ancient words were swimming on the surface.

Instantly two of them moved closer as if attracted by the words.

The tablets cracked continously until nothing was left and two groups of words were floating in the air.

One entered Su Tian's mind while the other entered Huang. The both passed out immediately without even having time to process what had happened.

At the same time in a remote region covered in lighting everywhere a huge body covering hundreds of meters seemed agitated and roared.

"Damn, after all this time the inheritance from the outside world has been inherited by some else. Who is it…"as the being roared a tablet in front of it collapsed and turned into dust.

At the same time even the lightning kept crashing down as though enraged.

Huang and Su Tian are unaware of this as they were pulled into their consciousness.

The words floated there and the more Huang observed them the more shocked he became.

The words seemed like a cultivation system similar to what he knew but more comprehensive.

It seemed to lead further than the existing cultivation system. In fact it can be said that every cultivation system in the world was copied from this one.

Looking at the words he could only understand small portion and yet he already knew his next step.

This was indeed a surprise and he was more happy about it. He thus did not manage to insist for long before passing out.

At this time he knew he had gained big time. After several hours he woke up and that was only to find Su Tian still passed out.

He thus sat there and decided to act like nothing happened to him. That was for the best and it could allow Su Tian to feel at ease keeping his secret.

Just like that Su Tian woke up after another half a day.

Huang moved over and asked, " what happened after the golden words disappeared you fainted. How can someone be so scared of some words. " he murmured slowly but intentionally to let him hear it.

Being given a way out, Su Tian quickly took on an act, "I was not feeling well. It happens sometimes. " after that he seemed to have a huge bolder lifted off his chest. But only he knew he had gained benefits from the situation.

He might even turn into a son of destiny, but Huang did not care what Su Tian was thinking. His attention was on something else.

"The stone just turned to ashes like that, by the way senior brother Su Tian this stone seems weird. Best not mention it again, I just might have destroyed someone's treasure if found out the trouble could be big." He just said some random things but they made Su Tian very at ease.

With his junior brother's nature he will not bother about it anymore and his worries are all gone.

After some chat Huang went back to his mountain. He immediately started to observe the words floating in his consciousness before he passed out continously.

"What a big gain, with this there is no hurry to breakthrough to the heaven realm in the next five years. Lets start from scratch to make my foundation more stable from the base root." He was already aware he might end up being unable to stay in the city branch.

He did not care much after what he had understood.

Without sufficient treasures he might fund it somehow difficult to improve his cultivation.

With this in mind, he started to think of ways to counter such a problem in the future.

"Before leaving the city sect branch, I need to have sufficient ability even if my realm will be delayed. In that way, getting myself some opportunities would be more easier." He motivated himself to keep on his chosen path.
