Chapter 3 - First Cultivation

"What's wrong? What's the problem if I want to include him as part of the Wang family guard?" Wang Huan'er now showed her murderous pressure; she was seen giving her warning to her guards.

Wang Huan'er's guards showed their scared faces; it looked like they couldn't hold back their faces of despair.

"No… we don't mean to reject your wish. If you want to take this man as a guard, he must be at least the 4th-layer of the Mortal Building realm."

Wang Huan'er was deep in thought; she knew what her guard said was true.

Wang Huan'er sighed; she hoped that Gu Liang could improve quickly.

"No problem. But I will still make him a guard of the Wang family. I believe this man's talent will not be low." Wang Huan'er gave a book to Gu Liang; she knew he had to do his first cultivation immediately.

The guards didn't say a word; it looked like they had given up on what was happening.

"Okay. Thank you for helping me. Miss Wang, I promise that I will not disappoint you." Gu Liang now lowered his face; he knew that Wang Huan'er was his young lady from now on.

Gu Liang felt a sense of joy in his heart; he knew he had now succeeded in getting on the path to achieving his first cultivation.

Gu Liang remembered how he was an orphan; he could be said to be much poorer than most ordinary children.

Gu Liang remembered how much one was paid to do the first cultivation; he knew it cost at least half of a small family's finances.

Wang Huan'er couldn't hold back her happy face. She knew that Gu Liang was born without a father or mother.

Wang Huan'er sighed; she hoped that Gu Liang would have a good life as the guard of the Wang family.

"Okay. Mr. Gu, I will leave now. I hope you can recover quickly. In less than 3 days, I will call someone to take you to the Wang family residence." Wang Huan'er walked away from her place; she now wanted to return to her residence.

"Thank you very much! Miss Wang, don't worry. I, Gu Liang, swear not to disappoint your good intentions." Gu Liang once again expressed his thanks; he hoped that Wang Huan'er would not show any ill feelings towards him.

After Wang Huan'er left, Gu Liang now showed a happy smile—he knew he would get his first cultivation sooner or later.

Gu Liang turned to the book in his hand. He hoped he could start cultivating soon.

Gu Liang opened the first page of the book; he knew it was a general cultivation book.

"I see… so this is what cultivation is? To reach the 1st layer of the Mortal Building realm, one must be able to absorb the energy of heaven and earth. I might have to give it a try." Gu Liang closed his eyes; he was now preparing to absorb the energy around him.

Gu Liang felt his body show a sense of comfort; he knew he was now surrounded by the energy of heaven and earth itself.

Gu Liang didn't show any expression; he looked as if he was trying to endure the pain in his body.

Gu Liang knew his body was now showing its heaviness; he hoped he could quickly break through to the 1st layer of the Mortal Building realm.

As time passed, Gu Liang felt his body reveal its bluish aura—it was the power of heaven and earth.

1 minute passed... half an hour passed...

Gu Liang opened his eyes, and not long afterward, a gentle gust of wind.

Gu Liang took a breath; he felt that his body had now experienced a slight lightness.

[Cultivation: Mortal Building 1st layer.]

'Is this what is called cultivation? I didn't know that this would be so amazing... but... I feel like something has changed in my heart.' Gu Liang now showed a scared face; he knew his heart had undergone its changes.

Gu Liang closed his eyes; he was now focused on checking the condition of his heart.

Gu Liang originally wanted to focus his power on his heart, but he didn't expect it to show his counterattack.

"Cough... this hurts so much. I don't know what it is. I'm afraid it's not something from this world." Gu Liang wiped the blood from his mouth. He had now regained his composure.

Gu Liang shook his head; he knew that the heart in his body was the replacement for his life.

"I won't care about it. I know this heart is my chance to live a second time. No matter what happens, I will protect my current life." Gu Liang now stood up from his place; he knew that his body had shown its goodness.

Gu Liang stretched his shoulders; he felt some comfort.

"For now, I have to start training my body. I don't know why, but I feel that my body is very weak. I still have 3 days. I hope I can meet Su Jiao soon." Gu Liang is now preparing to change his clothes. He hopes that the nurses will permit him to be discharged from the hospital.

After finishing changing clothes, Gu Liang now walked away from the hospital corridor—he now showed his comfort.

Gu Liang turned to a female nurse; he knew she now wanted to give some advice.

"Mr. Gu? Right? I beg you to continue staying in the hospital. Miss Wang told me to take care of you."

"Miss Wang? I know that. But I now feel my body has become very light. I beg you to let me go right now."

The nurse was hesitant at first, but she saw that Gu Liang's expression showed his kindness.

The nurse sighed; she hoped that Gu Liang could maintain his body condition.

"Sigh… I understand. I hope you can remember that you're now part of the Wang family's guardians. I hope you can keep your promise to Miss Wang."

Gu Liang waved his hand, and he walked out of the hospital.

Gu Liang didn't care about what happened; he knew that the hospital was part of the Wang family's property.

"As expected of Wang Huan'er. I know she is a cautious woman. Does she want to get information about what happened in the cave? I hope not..." Gu Liang looked to the side of the sky, and he saw that it was the afternoon.

Gu Liang sighed softly. He was happy to remember that he managed to wake up from his fainted in such a short time.

"Wait... how long have I been asleep? This is serious... I'm afraid Su Jiao will be very worried about me. I have to go back now." Gu Liang couldn't hold back his lazy face; he remembered that he had been asleep for more than 3 days.

Gu Liang was now walking away from that place; he knew he had to immediately prepare to return to his family.

As time passed, Gu Liang had now gotten out of his taxi—he had not forgotten to give the payment.

Gu Liang turned to the cell phone in his hand, and he saw that it showed the balance in 6 digits.

"Miss Wang, you're too kind. I feel like I can't refuse your offer." Gu Liang put his cell phone back; he was now preparing to meet his family.

Gu Liang looked to the side of the old building in front of him. He knew it was a building from the past.

Gu Liang remembered how, when he was 5 years old, he looked as if he couldn't hold back his hatred.

14 years ago, humanity lived in peace, but... that peace didn't last long.

The monsters from heaven appeared towards the earth, and then the immortals began to appear one by one.

The gods and demons also began to rule parts of the earth, and they chose to create their followers.

Gu Liang clenched his fists; he knew his family had been killed by those creatures.

"Even if it's immortals, gods, and demons… to me, they're not a problem. Heaven has given me a chance. With help from the system, I'm sure sooner or later I'll be able to carry out my revenge."
