Cultivation

Qi Fei, twelve years old, is a transmigrator.

His parents sacrificed themselves as guards for the Xiao Clan, so Qi Fei himself was adopted by the Xiao Clan.

He was once known alongside Xiao Yan, the third son of the Xiao Clan head, as one of the two great geniuses of Wutan City.

One year ago, Xiao Yan encountered some unknown mishap, causing the Dou Qi cyclone in his Dantian to dissipate all at once, and his cultivation subsequently plummeted to the third stage of the Dou Qi Stage.

The Xiao Clan summoned physicians from all walks of life and spent vast amounts of wealth purchasing medicinal pills for him, but none of it was of any use.

In the end, the Xiao Clan had no choice but to accept reality and turned their focus to cultivating others.

After Xiao Yan fell from a genius to a waste, he gradually closed off his heart and stopped interacting with others.

However, Qi Fei did not distance himself from Xiao Yan.

As a transmigrator, although his memories had not yet fully awakened, he knew that this was merely a minor tribulation on Xiao Yan's life path.

Three years later, he would return like a bolt of lightning.

Then, in less than a hundred years, he would cultivate all the way to become a Dou Di.

He would save the Dou Qi Continent from the hands of Hun Tiandi, open the passage to the Great Thousand World, and allow those who came after to achieve the realm of Dou Di and even beyond.

By befriending Xiao Yan at this point in time, he could just tag along and enjoy the spoils once Xiao Yan made it big in the future.

This was the best strategy.

Of course, in the process, his own cultivation could not fall too far behind.

After all, Xiao Yan would face many tribulations in the later stages; what if his own cultivation wasn't high enough and he didn't survive until the grand finale?

With such thoughts in mind, Qi Fei had been working hard at his cultivation.

Until today, when he successfully condensed his Dou Qi cyclone and achieved the rank of Dou Zhe.

Then, his past memories fully awakened, and he entered a strange space.

"So, what exactly did you do to the newcomer?"

Coiling Dragon Qi Fei looked on with curiosity as Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei dragged the unconscious newcomer back.

Who knew that one could even fall unconscious in this space?

It was truly an eye-opener.

"I just appeared in front of him suddenly to give him a scare when he turned his head to look at you guys," Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei said innocently.

He had simply logged off and then chosen to log back in at the newcomer's location to grab him.

Who could have guessed the newcomer would just drop to the ground?

"I was just digesting the things he Shared with me," the newcomer mumbled as he climbed up from the floor, stubbornly insisting.

"Uh-huh, we all believe you," Shen San Qi Fei said with a nod.

"By the way, which world did you transmigrate to?"

Just as the newcomer was about to answer, he was interrupted by Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei:

"Lust Power, third stage."

As soon as these words were uttered, the eyes of the two Qi Feis lit up instantly, and they reached out to touch him directly.

Then, both of them let go with expressions of disappointment.

The world the newcomer transmigrated to was clearly the proper Dou Po, not that famous fan-fiction world.

What a pity.

"I was just joking," Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei said with a wicked grin.

"You guy, do you know how painful it is to have your hopes dashed?" Coiling Dragon Qi Fei denounced Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei.

"Exactly, exactly," Shen San Qi Fei chimed in.

"I only said it because I knew that, didn't I?" Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei's smile grew even brighter.

Jokes aside, if he didn't know what these two fellows would think, why would he even say that?

"If I had really transmigrated to that side, I'd probably have to consider how to run away," Dou Po Qi Fei said, rubbing his temples.

"How is it? What level is your cultivation at?"

Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei asked.

"Half-step Dou Huang, and it shouldn't take long before I officially break through."

Dou Po Qi Fei estimated as he spoke.

To be honest, he was likely the weakest Dou Huang in history.

He had no cultivation techniques, his battle skills were only at the level of a novice Dou Zhe, and he lacked combat experience against opponents of the same rank.

"Not bad, you're practically invincible in the early stages; you can go wild now."

Heavenly Jewel Change Qi Fei patted Dou Po's shoulder and said.

"Remember to set up a Shuraba for our future Flame Emperor."

Shen San Qi Fei urged.

"Nalan Yanran, Ya Fei, Yun Yun... don't let a single one of them go."

Back when he was younger, he loved reading about broken engagements and face-slapping.

But now that Qi Fei was older, he preferred watching wholesome family stories.

"I want to see that too."

Dou Po Qi Fei chuckled.

Back when the novel ended, his only regret was that old Xiao hadn't managed to win over all the girls he met along the way.

This time, as his good buddy, Qi Fei swore he would definitely help him out.

The several Qi Feis gathered together, exchanging more incomprehensible topics like tripping on flat ground, accidentally consuming *medicine, and having many children for many blessings.

It seemed the future Flame Emperor was in for a wild ride.

Afterward, the several Qi Feis returned to their respective homes to digest what they had gained through Sharing.

Coiling Dragon World.

On the second day after the arrival of the Supreme God, Qi Fei began the lessons Beirut had arranged for him.

Early morning.

While still in a daze, Qi Fei was dragged out of his bed by Beirut, who told him to take advantage of the active heaven and earth elements to practice Dou Qi.

At the same time, Beirut tossed a new Dou Qi manual to Qi Fei.

The manual itself seemed to be based on the Red Dragon Secret Sword, but it incorporated Dou Qi with Destruction and Life Attribute.

It was clearly a cultivation technique created specifically for Qi Fei by Beirut.

After Beirut's simple and easy-to-understand explanation, Qi Fei began to practice with great gratitude.

During this time, Beirut watched him closely, correcting any issues as soon as they arose.

After practicing for a while like this, Beirut reminded Qi Fei to stop and told him to go eat breakfast.

The breakfast was made of stewed meat from an unknown Magic Beast.

Moreover, a large amount of medicinal herbs had been added to the pot of stewed Magic Beast meat, giving it a rather strange color.

However, the taste was quite good.

And after eating it, Qi Fei could feel a warm current flowing from his stomach to other parts of his body, nourishing him.

If he could keep eating this long-term, he estimated he could become a Level 9 Warrior just by eating.

As expected of the chef brought by Beirut.

After breakfast, while waiting for the food to digest, Beirut took Qi Fei outside the castle for magic training.

He first asked Qi Fei to demonstrate his current level of magic.

After Qi Fei clumsily displayed a few Level 1 spells, Beirut sighed.

Although he considered that Qi Fei had barely practiced over the years to keep a low profile, such a disastrous display still shocked Beirut.

Beirut had no choice but to increase the hours for magic theory, teaching Qi Fei from the very beginning.

"Remember, the essence of all magic is to manipulate elements to imitate the laws of nature."

Beirut waved his hand, and the fireball in his palm expanded several times over, its internal structure and the traces of elemental movement clearly visible.

"Take this Fireball Technique, for example; its operating principle comes from the Fire Profound Mystery, specifically the elements of fire and explosion."

As he spoke, he conjured two more fireballs.

One of these two fireballs looked somewhat ordinary, while the other looked like a bomb about to detonate.

But both emitted an extremely powerful aura, as if they could destroy everything around them the moment they landed.

"However, this content involves cultivation after the Saint Realm; it's enough for you to just have an impression for now."

Beirut dissipated the two fireballs.

"What you need to do now is memorize every single combination of elemental laws."

He tossed a stack of books to Qi Fei.

They were all detailed explanations of various magic models.

"Understood."

Qi Fei nodded.

After all, this was laying the foundation for his cultivation of the Laws and Profound Mysteries; there was no harm in memorizing them.

Following that, Beirut explained the theories while guiding Qi Fei through the practical applications.

This was to ensure Qi Fei remembered the various magic models and the operational trajectories of the elements.

This training continued until Qi Fei's spiritual energy was exhausted and he could no longer refine Magic Power to recover.

But even then, Beirut did not let Qi Fei off the hook.

He cast Gravity Magic on him, calibrated to Qi Fei's physical standards, forcing him to temper his body within it.

It lasted until noon.

Lunch was still prepared by the chef Beirut had brought along.

The variety was slightly richer than breakfast, but it was still stewed meat infused with various medicinal herbs.

Exhausted to the point where he couldn't even taste the food, Qi Fei finished his meal and collapsed into sleep during the break.

"Wake up, time to cultivate."

A voice rang out beside Qi Fei's ear, resonating directly within his soul.

Qi Fei opened his eyes to find a large, purple-gold mouse floating in front of him.

This was Harvey, one of Beirut's three children.

During breakfast today, Beirut had brought his three children over to meet Qi Fei and, incidentally, taught him some common knowledge about Divine Beasts and Deities.

The three brothers, from oldest to youngest, were Harry, Hart, and Harvey.

However, all three brothers had arrived in their Saint Realm original bodies; in other words, they were all large, purple-gold mice, and ordinary people could basically not tell them apart.

Qi Fei could only identify them by their aura, a method that was still prone to errors when it came to the three brothers.

But it didn't matter if he made a mistake; he would just call them all Senior Brother anyway.

"What's happening? Senior Brother?"

Qi Fei climbed out of bed.

"Your nap is over; now it's time for live combat."

Senior Brother Harvey spoke up.

"You have five minutes to change your clothes and get to the training ground outside the castle."

With that, he transformed into a streak of light and vanished from the room.

"Master, was that a Saint Realm Magic Beast?"

Elena, whom Qi Fei had previously used as a pillow, asked cautiously.

"Yes, all three of them are."

Qi Fei replied while putting on his clothes.

In reality, these three senior brothers of his were all Deities, and they were likely High-Gods of the darkness or wind elements.

In the Coiling Dragon World, after becoming a Deity, one could choose to either form a godhead internally or externally.

If one chose internally, the body would be directly transformed into a physique composed of divine power.

If one chose externally, the Laws of the World would assist in constructing a separate divine body.

The original body would remain at the peak of the Saint Realm, just like his three senior brothers.

However, the original body could still utilize the Laws and Profound Mysteries as well as the divine power of a Divine Clone, so the actual combat strength was not significantly different from a divine body.

Of course, Qi Fei didn't explain these things to the maids; it was too much of a hassle to talk about.

His senior brother was waiting outside now, and he didn't have much time to waste.

After quickly dressing, Qi Fei grabbed his greatsword and leaped out the window.

Relying on his Level 8 Warrior body, he landed in a superhero pose, creating a large crater in the ground.

Then, Qi Fei sprinted toward the training ground outside the castle.

This training ground was something Beirut had casually fashioned while explaining Earth-style Magic to him.

It was constructed entirely of Black Jade Stone and could easily withstand attacks at least at the Low-God level.

If it weren't for the fact that Qi Fei couldn't actually chip it, he would have wanted to knock a piece off to send to an auction.

It wasn't that he was short on money or anything; he just wanted to experience what it felt like to have floor tiles in his house that could sell for an astronomical price.

On the other side, when Qi Fei arrived at the training ground, the three brothers' countdown had just ended.

"Yay, I won! I go first."

Harvey clapped his paws and cheered.

"Are you seniors betting on when I would arrive?"

Qi Fei walked over to the Three Rats, carrying his sword.

"That's right. Big Brother bet eight minutes, Second Brother bet six, and I bet five."

As Harvey answered, he gave Qi Fei a wink.

To this, Qi Fei could only call it a rigged game in his heart.

However, looking at the expressions on Harry and Hart, it seemed they were simply playing along with their younger brother; they didn't really care about the bet itself.

Since they didn't mind, it was even less likely for Qi Fei to say anything.

"Shall we start now?"

Qi Fei asked.

"Yes, but wait a moment."

Harvey paused, seemingly rummaging for something.

"The sword in your hand will shatter after two strikes. Here, use this."

He tossed out an oversized Greatsword that was taller than a person.

The Greatsword was cyan in color, with a clear radiance flowing across its surface as if draped in a light veil, making it look profound and mysterious.

"This is a trophy I obtained in the past. Its quality is decent enough. Remember to drip your blood on it to claim ownership."

Harvey patted the Greatsword and said.

"Many thanks for the treasure, Senior Brother."

Qi Fei bowed to thank Harvey.

Just then, the eldest brother, Harry, who had been watching from the side, suddenly spoke up.

"Since my little brother has prepared a welcome gift for you, I, as the eldest, cannot be left behind."

A set of black armor suddenly appeared, landing beside Harry.

The helmet and shoulders of the battle armor were decorated with horns, and the chest plate featured complex patterns that were hard to tell if they were decorative or something else.

The arm guards had a row of backward-extending blades, and the same design was present on the greaves.

These blades were black, but upon closer inspection, one could see a faint red light glowing from within them.

Looking at them, Qi Fei felt a murderous aura rushing straight toward his face.

Of course, what Qi Fei liked most was the skirt of the armor that extended from the waist down to the knees.

If this skirt were on the set of Kamen Rider, it would be a symbol of a powerhouse.

"The armor is named Purgatory, a High-God material defense artifact. I obtained it after defeating a powerhouse in Hell, one of the Four Supreme Planes."

Harvey explained the origin of the armor to Qi Fei.

"Its defensive capabilities are considered excellent even among High-Gods, and its weight can be used for weighted training. It's just right for you."

Clearly, this set had been selected by Harvey from his collection in advance.

It wasn't a spur-of-the-moment idea triggered by his brother's actions.

Most likely, Beirut had mentioned to them that he had given a Soul Defense Artifact, which was why Harvey had chosen this.

With two of the three brothers having given gifts, the pressure was now on the remaining one, Hart.

"I have also prepared a gift for you, Junior Brother."

Hart thought quickly and rummaged through his collection to pull out a ring.

"This is a Space Ring, and it contains some of the resources I've gathered."

In reality, this was loot obtained after killing a fairly strong High-God.

It was likely because that fellow was sentimental that the ring was filled with a bunch of miscellaneous items.

God Sparks, artifacts, currency from Hell, various cultivation resources, and even a large pile of gold coins used during his mortal days were all inside.

Later on, Hart simply used it as a storage room for loot that was useless to him.

He hadn't expected it to come in handy right now.

"You might not be able to use it yourself, but it's good for cultivating subordinates."

"Many thanks to the three Senior Brothers for the treasures. If there is ever anything you need me for, please just say the word. I will certainly do my utmost to assist."

Qi Fei said gratefully.
