Gaia's Favourite

It was yet another normal day for Morning Sun City, when a cute voice inside a sturdy house could be heard, " Dad, could you reach me about cultivation and cultivating methods ? Please !!! ". A huge shock came over Jack as he listened to his son's ridiculous request. It had to be known that normal kids only started cultivating at the age of ten, whereas his son was only five. " No " . Jack resolutely refused as he knew that if he did something like this without his wife's permission, she would definitely slit his throat and eat his heart for lunch.

" What's going on, honey ? ". A sweet voice came from behind Jack as he felt a sudden chill of despair. " Uh... You see .. Zack wanted to learn about cultivation and cultivating methods. I refused him though. ". As expected, a cold and frosty suddenly enveloped the beauty's face as a strange glint passed through her eyes. However, the coldness suddenly subsided as a warm smile spread over her face as she said, " Of course you can cultivate, after all you were able to master the basics of Spear Arts in just a year. I am quite sure that you will be a genius in cultivation as well. "

Hearing his mother's words, Zack could not help but let out a warm smile as he embracedd his mother tightly and said, " Thank you so much, mom. ". Meanwhile Jack stood by the by the side with a stupified expression on his face as he could not understand his wife's actions.

" Plan success !!! ". Zack was brimming with happiness as his plan had worked. He only did this because he needed an excuse in order to hide the fact that he was cultivating otherwise suspicions would arise and a create a very troublesome matter. Another reason why he did this was to learn more about the cultivation way and levels because Gaia only left him with the basics. It was just like killing two birds with one stone.

---------------------------------------- Night, in Jack's room -----------------------------

Jack was worried by his wife's actions, " Angelica, I don't get the reason why you allowed Zack to cultivate. After all, he is a kid and in this backwater place, even cultivating at the age of ten would be a miracle. ". Angelica gave him a sweet smile as she replied, " Come on, don't tell me you didn't notice it, he has Gaia's aura surrounding him. I had heard about Gaia's recent fight with all his enemies but not once did I think that it would be severe to the point that he had to find an successor. And by the way, Gaia used to be your favorite student and our son is his student, so don't you think that it is our responsibility to teach him while your student is recuperating ? Also dragons are meant to soar into the sky and I believe that Zack is also a dragon. Let's just watch him take flight into the sky, shall we ? ".

Jack could not help but let out a sigh as listened to his wife talk, " Gaia was always the most troublesome out of all the students that I had. That stubborn personality of his always made things difficult. Let's just hope that our son does not inherit that part of Gaia's personality. "

Angelica couldn't help but let out a warm smile, capable of melting every man's heart, as she said " Well, Gaia got that part from you didn't he. ". However, her face turned serious as she said, " We have also become more powerful than that time, and we are also strong enough to take revenge for our friends. ". Jack's face also turned frosty as he remembered the day of the great tragedy, the day where millions died and billions mounted at their deaths.

" Well, we should rest for the night, after all tomorrow us a big day as our son will practice cultivation for the first time in his life and in the future, please remind me to remind that useless Gaia that although I willingly gave up the of the strongest of this place to him, there are still millions of people above him. ". Jack couldn't help but say this in order to diffuse the cold the atmosphere in the room. Noticing his intentions, Angelica let out a smile and simply nodded in agreement.

------------------------- The Next Morning ------------------------

Zack woke up in an extremely good mood. Finally after waiting patiently for five years, the time had come. From this day forth, he would officially embark once again onto the path of cultivation.

Zack hurriedly ate his breakfast and dragged his mother into the garden behind his house, because his father was just a second rate soldier and Zack knew that the muscle brain wouldn't be able to explain anything to him. If Jack knew his son's thoughts, he would have vomited blood out anger.

Expelling the useless thoughts from his mind, Zack listened intently to his mother's explanation. " The stage of Body Refinement is more like building a vessel to allow the human body to absorb use it in his daily life.The stronger the vessel is, the greater the ability to store Qi inside a body. People think that after reaching the Xiantian realm, they only need to absorb Qi and be done with it but that is why many people are stuck in that realm for a lifetime. Enough about that, Body Refinement is split into three stages. The first stage is training the flesh, the second stage is training the bones with the last one being training the organs. The first three levels of Body Refinement are for the fire at stage, with the next three being reserved for the second stage and the last three levels are needed for the last stage. ". Angelica paused to see if Zack was listening to her. Seeing that he had full focus on the lecture, she continued, " The first three levels require Qi from the air and use it to toughen the flesh and make it hard enough to protect you from normal weapons. ".

After explaining everything about Body Refinement, Angelica left Zack alone in order to allow him to cultivate. Zack turned all his attention towards the inheritance he received from Gaia. Slowly, Zack absorbed the Qi in the air and guided it according to method. Soon enough, Zack could feel a warm current going through his body.

Zack couldn't help but marvel at how advanced this method was when compared to the one that he used in previous life. As he continued to th guide the air through his body, Zack soon felt a gravitational force envelope him and pulling him down. " This must be the effect of cultivating this art that was mentioned in the inheritance. It's seriously hard to even think about guiding the Qi with this much pressure placed on your body. But for me it's bearable. ".

As time passed, the pressure kept on increasing and ride to the point of being unbearable. Zack's back was soaked with sweat, as the pressure kept on increasing. Suddenly, a huge popping sign could be heard coming from his body as Zack felt all the pressure go away. When he opened his eyes, he could feel his body brimming with even more power than before. However, just as he was about to celebrate, an unholy stench invaded his nose. When Zack looked at his boy, an unsightly expression came over his face as he saw his body being covered with a whole lot black stuff which gave off the stench.
