3 Chapter 3: Inheritance

The next morning when he woke up, he felt that something was different from his usual self. He remembers the dream very clearly as if everything that happened seemed to be real.

Shaking his head, he got up from bed, stretched his hands, arched his body side ways, bend his body backways and front.

After doing this, he washed his body, ate the dried fish by picking up from the old pot. And he gets ready to hunt food.

He picks up the bamboo basket which was made by grandpa, whenever he went for fishing. Now he is alone, he needs to do everything by himself.

He wears the bamboo basket, and takes the stick from the corner, near his bed. It has a sharp edge on one end and in mid dark in colour, which is for killing fish and smoking fish which was used so its natural.

He walks of the hut and puts down his bamboo basket on the ground. He goes into and stands in the river, holds his stick and hunts with it by stabbing the fish in the river. After its killed, he lifts the stick and removes the fish and throws into the basket.

He does this a couple of times and finally at noon, he is satisfied which is a big harvest. It can last for a long time.

He gathers dry woods, dry bark of trees, twigs, dried leaves, into a pile, and rubs the stond together to start fire.

He then peirces the fishes by sticks and smokes it. It takes long time to smoke the fishes, so he goes to pick up fruits.

It takes few minutes as wild fruits are near to his old hut. So he gathers full of baskets and goes back.

After doing so, he picks up the bow and quiver. He plays with it for sometime and feels a little weird.

As soon as he stopped playing, suddenly there was an old voice, "It's been a long time since I last woke up, hahaha...., how long has it been? Hahahaha..."

The sudden voice made Xin nervous and panicked and shouted, "Who?"

" Ohh, it seems I have awakened you kid, hahaha...., not bad, not bad."

"Who is the old senior, please don't scare me, I'm too young to die." Xin said helplessly, who knows if the old senior wants to kill him.

"Boy, don't be scared, I'm the spirit and soul of the bow and quiver. Anyway, where am I now, what place is it?" The old voice asked him not knowing anything as it was too old to remember.

"Even I don't know where I am, grandpa bought me when I was born and lived here since then". Not knowing how to answer, Xin answers.

He told his biography to the old senior, the same story his grandpa told him.

The old senior looked at the kid with shocked expression and laughed wildly and asked him as if seeing a treasure,

"Let me ask you, do you want to practice and enter into martial dao?"

Xin never practiced nor he doesn't know this world. He was so shocked that he stood still like a monkey.

"Boy, hey, do you want to practice or not? Ugly words first, let me tell you that entering the martial dao is diffetent from a mortal, mortal lifespan is upto 60-100 years, where as we martial practicioners life a long lifespan and its a very lonely road, so choose wisely". The old senior looked at him teasingly.

"Old senior, I... wa...n...t to practice, please teach me, and aceept me as you disciple." He kowtowed 3 times. At first, he looked hesitant and spoke hesitantly, then made up his mind as he wants to know who killed his parents and exterminated his family.

"Good , very good..., Let me tell you the realms of martial practioners first. The martial practioners of realms are divided into - Base Aura, Spirit's mandate, Golden Core Violet, Mortal Earth, Soul Inverse, Rebirth Entity, Nothingness Creation, Enlightened Being, Era Paragon, Profound Assailant, Imperial Foundation, Immortal King, Soverign Monarch, Divine Universe, Goldly Saint, Heavenly Condensation, Ancestral Emperor, Martial Venerable, Celestial Fate, Emperyean Canopy, Exalt Palace and Eternal Void."

"Each one is divided, having greater strength and each realm of lifespan is greater than the other. You will learn more in the future. As of now telling this much is enough."

"How much is the lifespan divided?" Xin asked carefully.

"Figure it out yourself." The old soul spoke.

"Boy, it is not that I want to tell you but it is meaningless to ask. If you want to know, you will know it naturally in the future!"

Xin was so shocked to hear this and some questions arised he wanted to ask go clarify something, "Senior, I want to ask..."

He was interrupted by the old senior before he finished speaking, "I know what you want to ask, you wanted to ask how I know these limits of lifespans right? It's because I haved lived a long time, I saw many people who are at end of their lifespans. As for others, you will understand later."

Xin was shocked, how did this senior know what I want to ask.

The Old senior grinned with a smile on his face, " See your shocked face, it seems that you are so shocked and you thinking that how did i know that you want to ask. Is it right boy?

Xin nodded like an hen pecking rice.

"It's very simple, it's by your facial expresssion, hahahahahahahah..." The old senior laughed very happily.

After laughing for few more, with a very serious expression, even though it can't be seen, he said: "Boy, I will give you the inheritance, it depends on how much you can grasp and how you can cultivate".

Without waiting for him to speak, the old man directly flew into his forehead, between his eyebrows, making the young man directly fall asleep.
