The Path of Purity, The Blade of Resolve

At the braymhch family

 " Welcome back young master how was your evening stroll, was the sunset pleasing to look at "an old man looking to be in his 80s with is back slightly bent and head lowered."

 "Mmm it was pleasing to the eyes" Galahad responds as he walks into his personal courtyard

 "Also tell my father that he should send me some herbs I have decided to begin cultivation the secular words holds no allure in my eyes. Now leave me be" leaving his command behind Galahad walks straight into is room leaving the slightly stunned and trembling old man alone.

 "Finally the young lord have decided to cultivate his lord will be pleased, I have to inform him of this this instant"

 After saying this, the weak looking old man took a step and appeared 10 meters away while leaving no footstep behind, the courtyard sank into silence once more, leaving only the rustling leaves and the fading sun in the distance, It brilliance slowly fading and the world embraces the night to come.

 Meanwhile, the old man appears in front of a majestic looking building, his presence concealed once more, his back bent, and head lowered.

He slowly enters the courtyard, his feet making no noise, as if afraid he might disturb the presence inside. Arriving in front of the door he slowly knocked three times and the door slowly opened.

The entire room looks bright and spacious obviously meant to entertain guest. A man sitting on a rocking chair, his back facing the old man while he watches the sun slowly fade from the window.

 The old man seeing the back of the man knelt down respectfully, then a voice filled with authority addressed him.

 " What do you want Hendrick, I told u to protect my son and stay with him, so unless it is of great importance you will not be exempted from punishment "

 The man sitting stood up his body facing the old man. His face was hazy, yet the bright smile on his lips was visible. Seeing the man get up, and seeing that very smile the old man shuddered, and lowered his head until it touches the floor.

  " It is something of great importance my lord the young master has sent me to request of herbs to cultivate, and he said he no longer find interest in the secular world"

 The man with a bright smile seemed slightly stunned

" That is something of importance. Alright go back and tomorrow you can go collect the herb"

The man smiled brightly before continuing

"No longer interested in the secular world is it. What am imposing sentence, even me the great head of the braymhch family dares not say so. Such fine words indeed, tell him that if he can cultivate well and pass the royal academy upcoming test, I shall prepare for him a sword that befits him"

 Finishing his statement the man burst into laughter.

Then, the old man no longer daring to stay, stood up with his head still lowered and walked out the door, with the head of the braymhch family laughter still resounding in the room.

 Back in the young lord courtyard.

Inside a room, Galahad seats down cross-legged on a cultivation mat, as he takes a deep breath while pondering.

 "In my last life though my cultivation speed was the best, I made a mistake that costed me. Now I can change this."

His eyes glittering in the dark room. His voice sounding once more.

"The first three cultivation realms signifies the importance of the body and the mind. The first cultivation stage :

 The body tempering stage, it consists of four minor realms; bone tempering

Iron skin

marrow cleansing

Body shedding

This four stage are the most important foundation to becoming an expert, and although in my past life I used the best treasure in completing this stage but in fact I lacked perseverance.

For 14 years since I have been reborned, I have being cleansing my body each year by utilizing the natural properties of the world, and observing the change of the seasons.

Linking that understanding to my physique, and now I can easily adapt to any element the moment I start cultivating, But... My path is that of the sword, so why do I need my body to be able to cultivate all form of arts.

My path Is that of the sword only.

In my previous life during an exploration mission. I found an ancient technique that complements the sword the most, and now I can finally cultivate it.

The ancient techniques requires you to be exactly 14 years, without any hint of cultivating at all or else i would have crippled myself and try to cultivate the art, but sadly that won't work.

Only a 14 years old who has not cultivated at all, can cultivate it, and I have waited fourteen years since my rebirth, just to cultivate my sword physique and looking at the complete art it was all worth it.

Taking a deep breath, I circulated the technique that I have long imprinted in my head.

Slowly the changes the season tempering did to my body, was slowly purged, bringing excruciating pain.

Grinding my teeth together, I clenched my fist tightly, piercing my skin with my fingers. In just a minute my entire body was drenched in sweat, then slowly blackish substance started to come out from the pores of my body along with a pungent smell.

Slowly the impurities got purged. It took ten minute for the process to end, and slowly my skin started to shine brightly.

Like chains broken a crack resounded in the air and the mortal body emitted a wisp of qi signifying a breakthrough into the first stage of the body tempering stage– the bone tempering stage.

Instead of the bone to emit a metallic hue like most Galahad bone shone with a sliver hue that seemed ethereal almost nonexistent before fading.

His eyes shone in the dark. An obsidian black eyes that looked unfathomable and hair glittering gray.

Standing up slowly Galahad walked towards the water he had prepared, removing his clothes his body entered the tub, into the cold water. Slowly closing his yes, Galahad fell asleep due to the exhaustion.
