On a planet millions of light years away from the anomalous region,a boy could be seen sitting in a lotus position and diligently cultivating the Body metamorphosis Cultivation technique.Though he knew he had done enough for a day,he didn't give up and continued till he heard a crack within his dantian followed by a muffled grunt.That was the sign that it was enough for the day.He immediately went to the bathroom but it could be seen that the controlled attempt to breakthrough had severely damaged his body as he walked jerkingly to the bathroom.
Afterwards,he went out to look for his mother as she would naturally have a solution to this.Once he got out,he spotted two familiar people,a 40 year old man who was actually seventy years of age and a woman with quite some considerable beauty making her appear as a 20 year old lady while he knew she was also in her sixties just 2 years younger than the man
Without needing to turn back,his father smiled and said
"why trouble yourself and seek unhealthy breakthroughs when you will surely gain the ability to pilot mechs when the time comes,after all with the power I hold you'll be even be able to reach the major rank achievement intermediate level
Steve didn't bother himself to think about how his father got to know his injuries without looking as he knew that a higher body metamorphosis cultivation rank will naturally permit strong senses and many wonderful things he knew nothing about.
He moved on and went to the kitchen where he found his mother cooking who just smiled bitterly and took a porcelain out of a shelf.
"My baby Steve please can you stop all this I need a breakthrough matter as you with a cultivation level of 5 is superior to most mates of the same age.This is the last vile of the snow lily meridian fixer.Getting another batch from the snow Ape tribe is hard as they ask for more concessions nowadays so it is better avoid this endeavour and cultivate peacefully for my sake please".
Steve smiled bitterly and nodded.He took the porcelain and drank mouthful of the liquid.His body temperature underwent changes as he felt as if a miniature snowfall had occured in his meridian.Moving and repairing his meridians as it moved until it settled in the his dantian before spinning rapidly and bursting out at once.Steve who still stood there,mesmerized about the snowy feeling even though he had done it for an uncountable amount of times.When he was about to thank his mother,he immediately felt his bottleneck loosening a bit and immediately sat down to try and break this bottleneck.
Though his mother frowned,she also could sense the loosening of the bottleneck and thus refrained from stopping him.Half an hour later,a minuscule but still audible "boom" could he be heard from Steve's body.Steve immediately opened his eyes as he thought,satisfied with his gains.The world felt a bit clearer to him albeit not much as the body metamorphosis cultivationtechnique provided an all round boost to ones body for a better efficiency in mech piloting.He knew the gains would grow better as his cultivation advanced so he didn't dwell much on it and directly stood up.
"Ah,so this is level 6"
He found his mom who had already finished cooking setting up the dishes.
"You just did what I told you not to do directly after I told you not to.Ah well,youngsters are always proactive which helps them in adventures as compared to us old folks who just stay home and rest all day"
"Oh mom don't say that,this was just a minor level achievement.Compared to you who has already reached and perhaps progressed into the intermediate level achievement which is a major level achievement,I'm just a fish in the starry seas".
Fredrica Arden just smiled while looking at his son who was in his own thoughts.She continued,
"Don't dwell on this further as time brings more advancement.You will surely reach and most definitely surpass my level as the divine qilin bone marrow you have consumed in the past has raised your bloodline a notch above your peers of the same age.Just cultivate diligently and you will soon know your standards when you compare yourself with other mates after you have successfully tested your ability mechs and have been enrolled in a mech piloting academy.Now come sit here and enjoy this meal with me."
But Steve noticed his dad wasn't here so he asked
"Where is dad??"
"He went out as a problem had risen in one of the military's planetry level exploration realm."
Steve knew what those Exploration realms were.They were black holes that had been nurtured by chaos qi and other elemental qi over long periods of time.These blackholes after years of nurturing turn into a secret realm where treasures,special resources,metals and even exotic technologies could be found and afterwards assimilated into their mechs.Steve just
Knew these realms had great importance and couldn't be left unchecked with even the tiniest bit of problems like beast tides by beast clans that live in those realms and are normally created with these realms.
He naturally stopped thinking about it and dug into his food.He went to sleep immediately after he finished eating as he was in a good mood.
