Void Cultivation

As Grey- the young body walked into the settlement, Grey noticed that he was mostly ignored by the people. Most of then would only take a short glance at him before snorting and looking away.

The young body also tried to avoid their gazes by looking away from them. This continued until the young body reached a brown tent.

Without any hesitation, the young body walked into the tent with the dead rabbit in his hand.

Inside the tent, Grey could see a single body lying on a bed made of hay. This body was small and looked shriveled up.

The thin body went closer until Grey could see who the body actually was. It was a young girl with receding pale brown hair. His entire body was thin and looked stripped of flesh.

Her face was pale and his eye sockets were deep within her skull. She was quite an ugly sight, yet the young body dropped the rabbit closely and went to hold the hand of the things and shriveled up little girl.

Then, Grey started to hear some low, indiscernible mutterings. But he was able figure out what the young body was saying.

"...Don't worry little sis. I brought back some food today. The awakening ceremony will be in a couple days, and if I show potential, I could be a cultivator. After I become a cultivator, I will be able to take care of you betterthen be able to travel the continent and explore..."

"... Since I was sixteen last two months ago, I'm eligible to partake in the awakening ceremony this year. If I manage to memorize a Cultivation art this time, I'll be given an opportunity to become a cultivator!" Although Grey was in the young cultivator's mind, he could clearly feel his excitement about becoming a cultivator and travelling the world.

"I just have to wait a few days!" Grey heard the young body say with a firm voice that spoke of determination and resolution that couldn't be broken.

But if Grey could see the face of the young boy which his mind was inhabiting, he would see that in his eyes, a glimmer of hope and excitement could on his young and slightly immature face.

Several days later,

There was the sound of whooshing wind as seven rainbows flew from the sky and landed on the ground in the small settlement.

These seven rainbows created seven craters when they landes, leaving the normal natives of this settlement in awe, shock and fear.

Standing behind everyone, a young boy could be seen with his eyes glimmering slightly with hope and longing. He was thin and his skin was dirty and pale. But aside from the excitement in his eyes,you could also see some coldness which would leave anyone shocked because of his young age.

After the dust from the craterd settled, the seven rainbows could be seen clearly. They were seven cultivators in the Qi Accumulation realm.

Their faces were cold and filled with pride and arrogance. They did not even bother to look at any of the natives as one of them spoke coldly.

"It is time for the annual awakening! Those who are sixteen years or older come and try to awaken. If you have already tried and could not awaken to become a cultivator before, don't waste my time!" The voice that spoke was cold and chilling, but because the person that said it was a cultivator, and a strong one at that, everybody ignored the harsh way he spoke.

In only seconds, several young youths stepped out to try and awaken to be able to cultivate.

The body Grey was inhabiting was one of them. But he stood at the very last of the queue. However, Grey noticed that the body did not seem to be afraid. It was if he knew that the cultivators would eventually check each and every one of them. Grey just looked on in silence.

When the time for the body Grey's mind was inhabiting came, he watched as the body went forth and stood before the cold-looking cultivator.

The cultivator had an expressionless face, and his demeanor was one of arrogance. As if nothing could surprise him.

The way he looked down on everyone was quite detestable, but these people were nothing like ants before them, so they didn't dare show their displeasure, instead, they showed expressions of reverence instead.

However, who would want to be on odds against a cultivator. Someone who could punch them into oblivion! Someone who could destroy their small city settlement in a flash.

That's why when the body Grey's mind was inhabiting, saw the cold and expressionless cultivator looking down on him coldly, he took it like how a mortal would look at a god.

The difference was just to wide and unbridgeable to show any energy other emotion.

When the body was close enough, the cold-looking cultivator pulled his hand roughly as a strange energy entered his body. Grey who was also inside the mind of the body was able to feel the presence of a strange energy slowly circulating round the body.

The owner of the body had a shocked and stunned expression as he felt the strange energy seep into his body through the cold-cultivators hand.

After some time, the cold-looking cultivator had an expression of bafflement and surprise. He unhurriedly checked the young man before him again, but soon after, his expression of bafflement and shock came back.

When his companions saw his expression, they were surprised. One couldn't help but ask. "What happened? Is there something wrong with his body?" It was a young cultivator with braided hair. His eyes were distant and his voice sounded to be trailing off, but the curiosity in his eyes couldn't be ignored.

The cold-looking cultivator shook his head wildly as he said. "No-, there's nothing wrong with his body... It's just that..." His voice trailed off as he looked at the young thin man before him with passion in his eyes.

When the body Grey was inhabiting saw the passion in the cultivator's eyes, he couldn't help but flinch backwards. After all, the way his expression quickly changed was extraordinary.

"...His body constitution seems to be very special. His bones are somehow hollow and his flesh is light." The cold-looking cultivator said with his hand still on the body Grey's mind was inhabiting.

The other cultivators looked surprised. This wasn't something that could be said to be very special. He was very different for sure, but just because you had a different constitution, doesn't mean you were necessarily special. After all, different constitutions meant different things in regards to your cultivation.

Who knew if his cultivation would be slower of caste with his weird constitution.

"What does his constitution have to do with him being special?" The one who spoke was a lady cultivator. Her hair was soft and gorgeous, tied into a small bun at her back. Her eyes were dark and if she smiled, it would become like crescent moons. Overall, she was a very pretty lady.

The cold-looking cultivator shook his head fervently. "No, you don't understand. What I mean is that I can feel something within his blood, like a bloodline that has yet to fully awaken. If I remember clearly, the feeling I get from his bloodline is like what I feel when I look at a replica of the ancient scrolls."

The words of the cold-looking cultivator was enough to make every cultivator present look on in shock. Their shocked expressions made everyone look at the body Grey's mind was inhabiting.

"Which replica exactly do you feel this sense of familiarity?" It was the young man with braided hair who spoke hurriedly this time. On his face, an expression of awe and doubt arose.

"If I remember clearly, the feeling I get from looking into his bloodline is the same I get when I glance at the replica scroll of the Wind Monarch." The cold-looking cultivator now looked at the body Grey was inhabiting with reverence.
