19 Chapter 19

"So which cultivation technique do you plan on taking son?"

Yun Lan asked Xiao as they had sat in a comfy room, right now he had taken a shower, drying all the blood and becoming fresh, well it was quite natural for the awakening to get bloody and he did clean himself a bit before he opened the door, but the blood that had sprayed in the room was not that easy to clean

Well afterward he did get an earful from his mother and cold treatment from his sister, he had a deal with both of them to pacify them and it took a while, now an hour later he sat on a comfy couch with his sister on his lap, while his mother sat in front of him

Seeing Xuanyin who sat in Xiao's lap while she cuddled onto him with her hands on his neck, Yun Lan couldn't help but twitch her eyebrows in confusion, looking at the girl who sat contended on Xiao's lap, who would think that she's the same as who the people refer as the 'cold phoenix'?, shaking her head she focused back on Xiao that was pampering Xuanyin

"So which path do you plan on taking?"

Yun Lan asked seriously, hearing her question Xiao pretended to be in deep thoughts, there are different cultivation manuals and each is further divided into grades, from what Xiao had read there are several levels in which the cultivation techniques could be rank them being:

Mortal Rank, Spirit Rank, Earth Rank, Heaven Rank, Mystical Rank, Immortal Rank, Divine Rank, God Rank, Ancient Rank, Omni Rank and Chaos Rank, Primal Chaos and Origin Rank

? The ranks of the cultivation technique could be Low Grade, Mid Grade, High Grade, and Top grade, within the three heavens finding divine and God Rank cultivation technique would be a blessing, while the cultivation techniques above that would be one in a trillion, on the fourth heaven these cultivation techniques are something that only direct blood descendants have the right to lay their hands on them

Right now Xiao knows that he would only find Mortal, Spirit and Earth Rank techniques which would be a great blessing to any other but even then the style of the way one cultivates are different, there are some techniques based on speed, some on stability and some requires a special condition to cultivate, one must be extremely careful of the cultivation technique one uses since they would follow you for life

Once you choose it you must use it to the end, of course, each cultivation technique has its limits that are the reason that the one at the bottom stays at the bottom unable to climb to a higher power, of course, one is capable of changing one's cultivation technique but it would cause chaos with your previous one and create a unbalance in your power

Cultivation technique is something you use to take in the Qi and increase yourself overall, so once you use it, the body will adapt to it, creating a path flow based on the cultivation technique, so what would happen if you use another one with a different flow? of course, there would be a fight between your body for it

So one must be extremely careful and one must also take in one affinity to an element when one takes one's cultivation technique, that's right once a person activates the Qi inside him, he would have an affinity to a certain element, it's this element that would follow you're for life, it's only when one learns the law of your element would you be able to reach certain cultivation realm

The affinity you have doesn't mean everything, if you will it, you would be able to learn to use other elements but it would take 10 times the effort to learn an element you don't have, so most go with the element they are blessed with, Xiao soon came out of his serious expression as he replied back to his mother

"Mother I would first like to check my element"

"Sure"

Yun Lan was not surprised by his words as she took out an orb she kept, it was an elemental orb made from an elemental crystal, it was not expensive at all, as one could easily mine and get one's hand on an elemental crystal, taking out the crystal his mother nodded to him as she floated the orb towards him

Tapping his sister to give him some space he easily caught the orb as he injected his Qi into it, Xiao had done this the last time and he was already sure of his element, soon the orb in his hand started changing color as it started to contract and expand and within seconds a red color appeared on the orb in his hand

"Fire.....huh"

Xiao's mother spoke first hearing it Xiao nodded his head in 'surprise', it would seem that he had his past elemental and it was a relief since he was already used to it, it won't take long for him to be able to use it efficiently but just as he was able to keep the orb away it started swirling again, seeing it Xiao's and Yun Lan's eyes widened

"Dual Affinity!"

Yun Lan spoke out loud, exited she waited for the orb to stop rounding, again within seconds the rob stopped rounding but this time the color was deep black along with a tinge of crimson to it, seeing it Yun Lan's eyes widened in fear as she quickly used her QI to make the room more secure, it was not only Yun Lan but also Xiao who had a deep frown on his face, they both spoke at the same time

"The death element"

After speaking both of them looked at each other seriously, the element of death is one of the rarest elements in the four heaven.....no scratches that only one place as that element and that's the shrine of death, no other place could have it and that's a fact

The reason they even have that terrifying power is because of their lineage and their blood, so having it means you are a part of them, if it was ever got out his mother might be even suspected of adultery, of course, each child born is tested to have the Yun family lineage but there might be chances of circumventing it

Even if it was proved that Xiao was not part of the shrine of death a huge looming threat would be over him, because he would be hunted down by the Death Shrine for having something he shouldn't!, even the normally expressionless Xuanyin had a frown, of course, every child when they reach 6 is taught all about the world and cultivation

They don't want to have a descendant going around pissing off someone very powerful and gets annihilated, you might never know when you might piss off someone very powerful, leaving that aside, Xiao's eyes deepened from what he saw, could it be that due to his two-time death he had gained this element?

it's all he could theorize from what he saw but no matter what he must keep this a secret because if this ever got out he would be haunted by a power he could not dream to match!
