Chapter 92: Immortal Cultivation I

This world is somewhat different from what you know .

The East has immortals and the West has magic .

Things that Science can't explain can be found here .

There are powers involved, of course . They are a part of man's unconscious revelation .

Science has been trying to a.n.a.lyze and understand these things for over a hundred years now .

Humans becoming immortal means they are becoming stronger . Living for an eternity is still something that most can't comprehend .

The path to immortality is split into many stages: Base, Eye-Opening, Golden Pill, Elemental Fetus, Out-of-Body, Split Body, Joint Body, Awakening, The Great Vehicle, and Ordeal .

It all sounds incredible but . . .

When a baby grows up and attends kindergarten, his spiritual root starts to grow .

The Base stage will be covered in grade one and two .

Eye-Opening in three and four .

Golden Pill in five and six .

Elementary school graduates become Golden Pill pract.i.tioners .

Elemental Fetus in middle school, junior year .

Out-of-Body in the second year .

Split Body in the third year .

Nine years of compulsory education then come to an end and even with Split Body, graduates aren't considered learned .

Vocational secondary and high schoolers master Fake Joint Body and Real Joint Body respectively, but they are collectively known as Joint Bodies .

Pre-university students and Undergraduates undergo fake and real Awakening respectively, but they are collectively known as the awakeners .

Post-Graduates are The Great Vehicles .

Doctors and those after are coined Ordealer and Post-ordealer .

This is the furthest one can go academically . The pursuers are left to improve by themselves .

It's the 21st century and cultivation is becoming easier .

Joint Bodies do not dare to speak .

Awakeners are everywhere and The Great Vehicles gather together .

And The Ordealers had the only reputation .

”You'd better eat more . Do you know how many Split Bodies have failed to become Joint Bodies and how many Joint Bodies have failed to become Awakeners? It's all because they weren't given enough nutrients when young,” Mom chided .

”What about those who fast?” I asked .

”Where did you hear this nonsense? In the past, when everyone was poor, your father and I could only eat a piece of meat once a month . The experts have shared . Fasting cultivation is pseudoscience . Eat now, okay?” she answered impatiently .

I tried hard to control the chopsticks before looking bitterly at her .

She wasn't looking so I reached my hand out to grab them .

Before I got hold of them, a pair of floating chopsticks slapped my hand .

”How old

old are you already? Why are you still using your hands? Have I taught you nothing?” she demanded .

”I can't do it . It's going to take so long,” I argued .

”Look at yourself, you useless boy . The boy next door, w.a.n.g Gangdan, is a year younger than you but he can already fold paper with mind control . He's already won so many awards . What about you? You can't even move a pair of chopsticks .  What are you going to do when you grow older? How are you going to get married?” she questioned angrily .

”But I tried! It just won't work,” I insisted .

”There are 40 kids in your cla.s.s . You're at the second bottom spot, just above the mentally r.e.t.a.r.ded kid . You know what? I'm going to teach you a lesson and I've already discussed this with your father . You're going for extra cla.s.ses in a few days . You'd better take this more seriously . ”

”I don't want tuition!” I shook my head .
