Reincarnated With A System In A Cultivation World

Hours later, all of us were still there looking at the elder in a daze. His words felt too profound. Him preaching on the dao was truly helpful. I could only understand some, but I already had a few thoughts of my own.

“Until now, I was blindly following the skill, but is the skill at its most perfect form? It should have the Dao of the weapon, or the element of the skill combined with it. But I was still a little hazy on the concept of sitting down to meditate and try and unlock the secrets of a dao.” I noted.

The meditation part never suited me. While others meditated for their cultivation, I was using the Heaven Devouring art, and that meant that I was not acquainted with the whole procedure of being patient.

This was something that I had to try out though.

“I’ll do it when I get home. There is not much I can do anyways.” I thought to myself as I glanced at the huge Dragon Gate.

Now that the class was over, I could focus my attention on this. The dragon gate from the Kun Peng story was the reason that I could form the Kun Peng Movement arts. I could temporarily transform myself. And this dragon gate was not metaphorical anymore.

“What would happen if I passed through it?” I wondered out loud.

“You would be crushed underneath the immense pressure.” the elder who was preaching till now stood right next to me.

“Elder.” I bowed down.

“No need for all this. But you certainly are a different man now. It makes me wonder, just what were you possessed by, for you to act like a different man before all of this. You seem completely different.” the elder asked.

“I do not know how to explain it, elder. But you said something about an immense pressure. What is that? I thought that this was just a gate to attract the attention of the heavens.” I asked.

“Do you think that the heavens would be fooled by just a structure with dragons on it? No, ofcourse not. This is crafted with the bones of numerous true dragons. Or so it is said. We do not know. The sect master brought this to the sect twenty years ago, and it has been a corner stone for the sect ever since.” the elder said.

“The dragon gate is most known because of how the carp transformed into the Kun Peng. Will that be the same case if someone else goes through this gate?”

“You are truly an interesting person. You saw through this instantly. That is the goal of a dragon gate after all. But the ordeal that you will face when you go through the dragon gate is too much for you to bear. You can only go through the gate if you are a core sect member or a disciple who is in the Houtian Realm. For you, that is a long way to go.” the elder shook his head.

“Thank you, elder. But what will happen if I try to undergo metamorphosis now? What is generating this pressure? It is just a gate made out of bones. It might attract attention, but I see no runes on this that make it special.”

“A dragon is a proud being. And a powerful one. A single dragon can wreak havoc upon an entire kingdom with ease. And for multiple dragons to be slayed to make something like this? This is a legendary item. One that even the imperial family covets. And all those dragons have their residual wills. All those resentful spirits that will attack you the moment that you try and step through. You will be squashed to a pulp before you even react.”

I nodded, and turned around to leave.

“I see that you have an aptitude for the path of the dao. You already touched the dao of transformation, and it is the best dao to have when you pass through the dragon gate. You have a bright future ahead of you.” the elder said.

I stopped and turned around to thank him.

“How about this. I will-” he stopped talking, and looked up for a second. Then, he looked down.

“I understand. No wonder. That cheeky brat. Get out of my face now! I don’t want to see you until tomorrow.” he snarled at me.

I was frightened by this sudden reversal in his mood. I turned tail and ran back. He was talking to someone. He and the person in that mysterious castle. They were both talking to someone. That someone could very well be Li Tian, but it could be someone else. Either way, someone was watching everything that I was doing.

“Master might have told me that he was going out for some work but I sure as hell don’t believe it.”

I followed all the other disciples back to the residences. I crossed my fingers as I kept walking forward.

“Please don’t let there be any madmen at my place. Please don’t let there be any madmen at my place.” I muttered as I went to where I appeared today morning.

But, it seemed that fate had another plan for me.

“Interesting. To think that you went into the Heavenly Music Pavilion without permission and actually came back with your limbs intact? But I thought that I would see you in the Punishment Hall. Why are you free and kicking?” I heard Hi Juntan say.

“The heavenly music pavilion? That must be the marble palace that I accidentally mistook as the missions hall. But wait a minute. Isn’t that where my father told me to go to deliver the letter?” I suddenly realized.

“Come on, senior brother. Why are we waiting any longer? He is right here. Let us take him and get going. Deacon Hua is not a patient man.” another disciple was standing right next to him.
