Chapter 2 The Golden Saber

...

The night was cool and soft. Under the starry sky, Riverham City was quiet. Occasionally, a dog bark or two could be heard not far away. When you listened to it, there were no more. The entire Lawton's also quieted down, and the servants who had worked hard all day fell asleep early.

At this time, in a room that was not luxurious, but quite clean, Trevin was naked to the waist. He was doing breathing exercises rhythmically with his eyes tightly shut.

However, Trevin's consciousness went through his body to dantian (the cinnabar field below the navel), where there was a golden saber as thin as a cicada's wing, shining.

The golden saber was very small, about the size of an ordinary dagger. It was covered with strange lines. The dragon head on the hilt seemed to be about to come back to life. It emitted a soft buzzing sound as well as waves of terrifying pressure that suppressed Trevin's dantian. It had a special beauty in it.

A martial practitioner must have the strength of a Martial Virtuoso to be able to look inside his dantian, and Trevin was able to do it completely due to that golden saber.

In the path of pursuing achievements of martial arts, martial practitioners first cultivated their bodies and condensed spiritual power seeds to become Martial Masters. Then, the spiritual power seeds in their dantian transformed into spiritual seas. Thus, they advanced to Martial Virtuosos. There were even legendary realms like Martial Kings, Martial High Kings, Martial Saints, and so on.

Each realm was divided into nine levels. Only by raising one's cultivation to the ninth level could one break through to the next realm. Trevin's father, the patriarch of the Lawtons, was a Martial Virtuoso. In the entire Riverham City, he was one of the top ranked experts.

However, even though the golden saber was beautiful, it was not perfect. If any experts were here, they would definitely be able to see a crack in the center of its blade which was hard to see with the naked eye. It was precisely this crack that thoroughly destroyed the golden saber's perfection. At the same time, it was also this crack that wasted three years of Trevin's life, causing him to be reduced from a genius to a trash overnight who had to endure the ridicule of countless people for three years.

Hours passed unknowingly. Trevin felt that it was almost time. Finally, he opened his eyes. Two golden rays of light shot out from Trevin's eyes, causing the air in front of Trevin to ripple.

At this time, the golden saber in Trevin's dantian suddenly let out a loud buzzing sound, and a violent fluctuation followed. Immediately after, the spiritual power that Trevin had painstakingly cultivated for three hours was completely swallowed up by the golden saber in Trevin's dantian, repairing the invisible crack on the blade.

As the golden saber absorbed all the spiritual power in Trevin's body, it emitted a dazzling golden light. The golden light shone, illuminating Trevin's entire dantian, and the crack finally disappeared under Trevin's gaze.

...

At this moment, the golden saber was like a cheerful child emitting a soft buzzing sound, continuously jumping in Trevin's dantian.

Seeing this, Trevin revealed a knowing smile. The corners of his eyes were almost wet. He just wanted to look up and roar, releasing all the grievances he had suffered in the past three years.

Three years later, Trevin finally made it. From the moment Trevin obtained the golden saber to now, three good years passed. Trevin had gone from a rare genius in Riverham City to a trash whose cultivation was only at the third level of Body-Refining Realm overnight, and he had not advanced an inch.

During the three years, Trevin did not know how many people ridiculed, insulted, and even beat him. He endured all of it. At the same time, he also grew up rapidly. He was accustomed to the ugly faces of others, which made him far more mature than his peers. This was also the only achievement Trevin had gained in three years.

Three years was not long compared to a hundred years of human life, but for a young man who was only fifteen years old, three years was already one fifth of his life experience. Moreover, Trevin was only twelve years old at the beginning.

Thinking about how he had obtained this golden saber three years ago, Trevin felt as if he was in a dream.

Three years ago, when Trevin had only practiced martial arts for two years, without the help of any pills, Trevin broke through to the fourth level of Body-Refining Realm. With his own ability, he broke through the shackles of martial practitioners and successfully condensed spirit power seeds in his body to become a Martial Master. He shocked the entire Riverham City and was praised as a peerless genius once in a century.

After Trevin became a Martial Master, the Lawtons held a banquet for him. It lasted for three days. Three days later, Trevin went to the Magic Jungle thirty miles away from Riverham City to train alone in order to consolidate his cultivation.

While training in the Magic Forest, Trevin accidentally saved a severely injured old man. The old man claimed to be from the Celestial Territory. Because of the injuries, he still couldn't survive. Before he died, he entrusted Trevin with sending his corpse back to the Celestial Territory in the future. The golden saber was the reward that the old man gave Trevin, and he helped Trevin to successfully claim it and hold it in his dantian.

Just as Trevin's thoughts were wandering, the golden saber in Trevin's dantian suddenly let out a soft buzzing sound. The golden saber emitted bursts of dazzling golden light. Strange runes and characters surged out from the golden saber and flooded into the center of Trevin's forehead.

Trevin only felt a huge wave of information pouring into his mind, and an intense pain instantly filled his mind. As a result, Trevin's eyes turned bloodshot, covered with strands of blood.

After a long time, just as Trevin was about to faint, the rush of waves of runes finally came to an end. Trevin heaved a sigh of relief. If this continued, he would probably faint from pain.

However, right after that, Trevin revealed a look of pleasant surprise. A peerless Cultivation Method appeared in his mind.

"Nine Reincarnation Esoterica", a Super Rank Cultivation Method.

Cultivation Methods had different levels, which were Ordinary Rank, Magic Rank, Spiritual Rank, Saint Rank, and Super Rank from the bottom up!

The higher the rank, the rarer it was. In the Lawton's, there was only a top Magic Rank Cultivation Method, "Magic Flame Esoterica". Moreover, this "Magic Flame Esoterica" could only be cultivated by the direct descendants of the Lawtons. However, even so, the Lawtons could settle down in Riverham City. The "Magic Flame Esoterica" played an important role.

Trevin had never seen a Spiritual Rank Cultivation Method before. It was rumored that there were Cultivation Methods Saint Rank and above in the royal palaces of the Empire of Wilderness. As for Super Rank Cultivation Methods, there were only ten in the world. All of them were controlled by those peerless great powers. If one wanted to create a Super Rank Cultivation Method, one had to be at the King Realm. The creator of this Nine Reincarnation Esoterica was Holy Reincarnation King, one of the Ten Kings of Valenpool Continent.

At the same time, Trevin also knew the name of the golden saber and all the information about it.

Reincarnation Demonic Saber, one of the top ten Imperial weapons of Valenpool Continent, possessed the unfathomable power which could destroy an enemy and his soul completely.

Trevin knew very well how precious the Reincarnation Demonic Saber was. If its existence was known by others, the Lawtons would be in trouble, let alone himself. Therefore, Trevin planned to keep it to himself, and tell no one else about it, not even his father.

Thinking of this, Trevin no longer considered the matter of the Reincarnation Demonic Saber. After all, the Reincarnation Demonic Saber was hidden in his dantian. Other than himself, no one else could sense it. Who would have thought that there was such a shocking royal weapon hidden within his body?

Focusing on Nine Reincarnation Esoterica, Trevin's eyes glowed with excitement. He began to flip through it. This was a Super Rank Cultivation Method. Those who were qualified to cultivate it in Valenpool Continent were favored by heaven.

As for a person wanting to go further on the path of martial arts, Cultivation Methods were equally important as talent. If one's talent laid the foundation, Cultivation Methods were the concrete for constructing. No matter how talented you were, without the support of Cultivation Method, you couldn't make it.

When Trevin started to read the Nine Reincarnation Esoterica, the first thing that entered his eyes was a sentence that caused his blood to boil.

"The practice of martial arts is to steal time from Yin and Yang, to reverse life and death, to get away from the cycle of reincarnation. I comprehended the secrets of reincarnation and broke free from the restraints of heaven and earth. I am ranked among the top ten kings. Once you become my disciple, you will be immortal!"
