Legend of the Genius Swordsman

CHAPTER 32 - Very Curious

Evening had arrived, Lin Chen was currently in a room so luxurious that it was the place that Jing Ling had shown Lin Chen for his place to stay.

All this time Lin Chen did not really understand what had happened just now, even in his mind there was no thought that it would meet an elven human in the martial world.

"What a weird thing, why did I never know there was an elf race in the martial world? Were they not involved?" Bathin Lin Chen still could not believe whether this was a dream or reality.

Lin Chen then lay down and looked at the sky of the room and closed his eyes to calm his mind.

"Cultivator yah.." bathin Lin Chen smiled then fell asleep that night.

The next day Lin Chen woke up and had prepared to go to a dining table where Lin Chen had been summoned by the palace maids as Jing Shan as well as his wife and Jing Ling were waiting for him.

"Master please pass by here," said the waiter guiding Lin Chen to a dining table.

"Good morning king and queen and princess" said Lin Chen greeting Jing Shan and Jing Huang as well as Jing Ling.

"Good morning son Chen, I know you feel respect for me but please don't need to call me that, just call me uncle Shan and aunt Huang and my son Lingling." Jing Shan's remark to Lin Chen made Lin Chen feel uneasy because they were indeed not family.

"But I'm not your family" said Lin Chen, feeling that the call was like a family relationship.

"It's okay, son Chen, your arrival here alone makes us feel grateful because you are the only hope for the Elf race that is here" Jing Huang told Lin Chen.

"Yes son Chen, although you still have not thought of becoming an heir but we will still choose you as the heir until the time when you will really be in the choice to inherit the legacy of the ruler," jing Shan explained.

"Son Chen, we have so much hope for you, that we even try our best to train you to become a cultivator, he said, it's not for us but it's for your safety in the martial world and for the people you love," jing Huang said with full expectation to Lin Chen making Lin Chen speechless and speechless.

"Already, if you do not want to eat, then talk outside not at the dinner table, the food will be cold!" Said Jing Ling whose temperament was still upset by Lin Chen's presence in his residence.

"Haha I almost forgot, son Chen let's sit down and eat, after this I will start training you later," said Jing Shan who almost forgot to eat because he seriously talked to Lin Chen.

"Well," Lin Chen sat down and ate with them all.

It seems that all the food on the table is so luxurious and full of energy, most fresh vegetables and fresh beef and chicken are so delicious.

Lin Chen felt that this kind of dish had never even been felt in the palace of the Lin clan which was one of the strongest clans in the martial world.

Lin Chen then started to eat the dish and swallowed it until it made Lin Chen startled with both of his eyes widening as something that entered his body was flowing a lot of pure and dense energy.

"This energy is just like I live in a realm full of extraordinary, comfortable and like I was reborn," Lin Chen was extremely astonished to feel how incredible the food was.

"Do you feel it, Chen?" Jing Huang asked Lin Chen for having seen his changed expression after swallowing the food he had eaten.

"This energy is very different from the inner power I gathered during my 3 years of training," Lin Chen's inner soul felt an energy that was very much different from the one Lin Chen had in the martial world.

"Son Chen, what you feel is natural energy, an energy that can be absorbed even we can at will use it through our body and make it a qi, he said, it was this energy that a cultivator used to raise his power realm to a level that could even destroy a mountain and a small planet planet, even this world can be destroyed by cultivators whose strength is already on par with that of gods," jing Shan said, making Lin Chen seem to be in disbelief because it was impossible to do so let alone speak with the name of a god.

"So this natural energy that cultivators use and not inner power?" Asked Lin Chen curiously.

"Son Chen, that inner energy you are referring to is an energy that you gather through your own body, both from muscle power and you gather from within your own body. And what I saw from your body was just like an ordinary human being and you just opened the 1st smallest meridian and your dantian was also very small, it was because you only used the inner power and not the natural energy," jing Shan explained.

"So that's how it was, all this time that I thought strength cost nothing at all in the eyes of master Jing Shan," bathin Lin Chen felt that the world he lived in was so small in Jing Shan's eyes even like a speck of dust that it was very easy to get rid of.

"Son Chen, eat first and we'll go to the training ground and explain to you what the cultivator is about" Jing Shan told Lin Chen.

Lin Chen who was feeling very curious then ate voraciously because he did not want to waste the energy from the food.

Jing Ling saw Lin Chen eating like a starving person and never eating frowning because only this time saw the humans in his life and ate greedily.

"Hey slowly ate slowly," Jing Ling said, her face flushed red at Lin Chen as if she would pay attention but was still embarrassed and unfamiliar.

"Why don't you eat?" Lin Chen asked so curiously.

"Hahaha son Chen, we eat if we want to, somehow we don't eat it seems like it's been decades, if it's not for your presence it seems like we don't eat," jing Huang said laughing at Lin Chen's extremely eager eating manner.

"Why is it like that? Are you not hungry?" Lin Chen asked so curiously.

"Haha nak Chen, a cultivator who doesn't even eat will still live for decades, eat it and I will explain it to you later" Jing Shan laughed to Lin Chen.

"Humph," Jing Ling acted like an angry person with the expression of her mouth forward and her head pointed to the right.

After they ate, Lin Chen was invited by Jing Shan to a spacious training ground and filled with natural energy.

"The place here has extraordinary natural energy" said Lin Chen felt that the training ground was indeed fit to be a training ground.

"Alright Mr. Jing Shan," said Lin Chen respectfully to Jing Shan.

"Oh son Chen, no need to call me master or anything, just call me uncle Shan it is enough to establish a relationship with the heiress of the master," jing Shan said to Lin Chen feeling uneasy towards the heir of his ruler calling him high.

"Alright uncle Shan," said Ling Chen who was still unfamiliar with calling the call to someone stronger than himself let alone a king in his territory.

"Good good, son Chen may I know why you won't choose to be the ruler's heir?" Jing Shan asked Lin Chen curiously.

"As I explained yesterday that I have something that I need to prevent, which is an era of destruction in the martial world," lin Chen explained that the era of destruction was a frightening era because of the appearance of the demon clan generals who made chaos and destroyed the martial world.

"I understand, but the era of destruction is what Chen is and how do you know that there will be an era of destruction if you don't prevent it from now on, can you predict the future or what?" Jing Shan asked curiously.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you that please believe me, because I've made up my mind to prevent that era from happening," lin Chen said so that Jing Shan did not keep asking about him because Lin Chen did not want people to know that he was reincarnated into the past.

"I understand son Chen, I'm sorry I asked you something I shouldn't have asked you," Jing Shan said feeling guilty towards Lin Chen.

"It doesn't matter that Uncle Shan and I never put it in my heart" Lin Chen told Jing Shan.

"Haha alright then, then I will explain to you what a cultivator is."

Jin Shan explained that the cultivator was a human or a living being who lived a life on the path of immortality.

A live cultivator can live longer even immortals according to his level of strength and the realm he achieved.

Cultivators possessed extraordinary strength even ordinary humans like Lin Chen considered it an impossible thing to do. However cultivators did exist and his strength was indeed much stronger.

Jing Shan explained that the aftermath of the war against Emo made most of his strength disappear but Jing Shan remained long-lived because he was an Elf race.

Jing Shan explained that all worlds have natural energy, whether small or low, all have natural energy.

This natural energy is the energy of the universe and the world is the limiter.

Living a Cultivator is living a challenging life because many other cultivators envy and drop each other just for the sake of strength. The stronger the cultivator the more respected and the more displeased he was. Because the strong are above everything. Without your life force will be lost and like trash.

Jing Shan explained that the natural energy felt by Lin Chen was energy from vegetables and food itself. Everything had natural energy, and to produce natural energy it had to be done in a cultivator's way.

"Alright without a lot of stale base, I will directly practice it on you," Jin Shan said then pulled out a natural energy qi around his body, it seemed that the natural energy was green in color and had incredible energy.

Jing Shan also took out an arrow from void space making Lin Chen surprised the appearance of the arrow.

"You're wondering how I got this arrow up in the air?" Jing Shan said to Lin Chen.

"Rightly how do you get rid of that?"

"As I explained that everything can be done with natural energy, and you see this ring?" Jing Shan revealed a ring that appeared in his hand.

"Why did it show up?" Asked Lin Chen curiously.

"This is because I can bring up everything I want, and did you know that this ring is a storage ring."

"Storage? Meaning the same as the bag in the form of a ring?" Lin Chen seemed as if he would not believe what he saw and how could a ring as small as a finger be inserted into an object or item inside?

"Son Chen, you must not be used to it yet and this ring is indeed like that, right I already said nothing is impossible for cultivators, what is impossible for cultivators is to reincarnate into the past," jing Shan's words made Lin Chen barely able to breathe as Jing Shan said reincarnation into the past.

"Can a cultivator reinkrnate? Since you said that nothing is impossible for cultivators," asked Lin Chen curiously regarding reincarnation.

"Right, but the path of reincarnation is a path according to one's destiny and cultivators cannot arbitrarily determine their destiny. Not many reincarnated cultivators who can reincarnate are someone who is already god-equivalent and is said to be reincarnated after millions of years" Jing Shan explained.

"So it was like that." it was Lin Chen who was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief from hearing the explanation about reincarnation.

"So do I have a destiny that even cultivators rarely get?" Bathin Lin Chen looked at his destiny of being reincarnated into the past.

"And for this storage ring in the room is very spacious even large items can be put in it," Jing Shan explained then took out many worthless items out of his ring.

That action made Lin Chen so shocked because of the appearance of that thing from the void space in the air.

Jing Shan then put it back into his ring it seemed all the items disappeared like they were absorbed into a dimension quickly.

"Alright after I show you about the storage ring, I'll show you how strong a cultivator is," Jing Shan then pulled out his bow and it appeared that his arrow had suddenly emerged from a wisp of energy forming an arrow that was full of green power.
