Ch 5: Cultivation

After reaching the garden, Yang Feng took off his upper body cloths to not hinder his first ever cultivation session. After doing so he sat crossed legged to meditate and clear his mind.

After half an hour of meditation he slowly stood up and took a stance with his legs slightly apart and his hands clasped together, after adjusting his stance he regulated his breathing in the sequence explained in the book.

As soon as he took the stance he felt a slight discomfort throughout his body. He decided to ignore the discomfort and continue, so he moved to the next stance similar to a horse stance and again changing his breathing style.

After that he went through another 18 different stances and their corresponding breathing styles. The discomfort and the strain on his body increased with every change in stance and he was only holding on because of his willpower, but he continued on.

After completing the 20th and last stance which completed a single rotation/cycle of his technique, his knees were bent, hands hanging to his sides and his bones aching constantly. He was too tired and finally his knees gave out so he fell on his back, he was so tired that he failed to notice that the energy in his surroundings was moving towards him and very slowly healing his body of the strain it felt after completing only one cycle of the exercise.

He knew that he was only able to complete all 20 stances because his body always seems to be stronger then people near his age. Even now he could beat up a 10 year old with relative ease. If it was someone else his age he would not even be able to complete the first 10 stances.

After nearly one hour yang feng slowly sat up noticing that the unease he felt seems to have lessened. He was somewhat surprised that he recovered so quickly but did not pay too much attention to it.

After that session of cultivation he decided to take a break for some hours and then start. The perk of primal chaos body refining technique is that it can be cultivated at any time as it can absorb all types of energies, those include the Yang Qi from the sun and Yin Qi from the moon. After resting and eating lunch with his family he started another cultivation session.

This type of routine continued for a week in which he cultivated twice a day, during which he noticed that everytime he cultivates, he's able to endure more and more during his cultivation sessions. At the start he could bearly complete 1 complete rotation of his technique but after a week he could do 3 complete rotations. His body gained power slowly but still not enough to breakthrough to the body tempering realm 1.

But today was different, when he finished the 3rd rotation he felt as if some shackles binding him were being lifted and knew that this was his chance, so although he felt tired as the 3rd rotation was his limit till now, he persisted and went for the 4th rotation. When he somehow reached the last stance he was bearly able to keep himself standing, his body was shaking, veins visible all over his body and he was feeling as if his whole body was on fire, but there in his eyes his willpower and determination was burning hotter and brighter with eash passing moment.

He forcefully moved his body and completed the 4th rotation. Just as he did, he felt the shackles binding him breakdown and felt a sudden surge of energy coursing through him. He knew that he had brokenthrough the body tempering 1 realm.

Although he was overjoyed with the breakthrough, he was too tired to really do anything and fell unconscious the next moment. When he woke up he found himself in his bed with his mother sitting next to him. Seeing him awake Dong Su Zhu could not hold herself anymore and hugged him tightly, yelling at him for making her worried and not taking care of himself.

After she had claimed down, she looked at him sternly and only said one word in a hard tone," Explain". When yang feng saw the stern look and heard the tone, he knew this there was no other way out of this and so he began explaining about the feeling some kind of shackles binding him, their loosening and his process of breakthrough.

To say his mother was shocked was an understatement. She contemplated to herself about what she learned about her son's situation,'although all face resistance and challenge during their first breakthrough, it should not have been this intense.'

' moreover, feng'er brokethrough after cultivating for just a week, just what will be his future achievements. ', she broke out in cold sweat while looking at her adopted son but was also esthetic that he will have a bright future.

Yang feng again consoled his mother that he was fine and she finally left him alone not before advising him to rest for a few days and not to push himself too hard for the said days.

When Dong Su left the room, yang feng shifted his focus on the system's mission interface.
