Cultivation Offline

After seven days of following the same routine —drinking milk, sleeping, and being unable to open his eyes or move.

Yue Jiachun finally felt something different. On the seventh day, the barrier that prevented him from seeing seemed to break.

In the next instant, he opened his eyes, revealing beautiful light-blue pupils that reflected his childlike curiosity.

'Where am I? This doesn't seem like an abandoned place.'

He looked around and, above him, saw a blue ceiling decorated with countless twinkling stars. The sight was so beautiful that he admired it for a long time.

'System, what kind of place is this? Where am I now?'

[SMALL HOST, THAT IS SOMETHING YOU MUST DISCOVER ON YOUR OWN.]

The system's response irritated Yue Jiachun. He wanted to spit at the interface but realized it was impossible.

Wow...

He started crying, feeling frustrated.

[...]

The sound of crying immediately alerted the Moon Empress. In less than an instant, she appeared in the room. But the moment the baby saw her, his crying stopped.

'My god! This woman is a fairy!'

Yue Jiachun was mesmerized. He couldn't find words to describe such beauty.

In the room, two figures stared at each other—a small baby and a dazzling woman.

After a brief moment of observation, the Moon Empress lay down on the spacious bed, large enough to accommodate three people. Gently, she turned the baby toward her and embraced him softly.

This gesture warmed Yue Jiachun's heart.

'Who is this woman? She's not my mother…'

He was sure of that. Even without ever seeing the woman who gave birth to him, something told him that this fairy before him was not his biological mother.

'Did she take me in to raise me? Yes, that seems like the most likely answer.'

Thinking about this, he felt happy.

Seeing the little one smile, the Moon Empress gently touched his tiny head.

"You finally opened your eyes, my dear son."

Her soft voice sounded like a beautiful melody in his mind. Yue Jiachun smiled even more.

'Did this beautiful woman adopt me? How lucky I am!'

That thought made him even more excited.

Seeing the baby so happy, the Moon Empress smiled as well.

After a while, Yue Jiachun fell asleep again. This time, he felt the warmth of a comforting embrace, making his sleep even more peaceful.

...

Days passed. Yue Jiachun spent most of his time in the room, occasionally going out with Yue Rixin to explore the palace.

During these days, he realized that this world was anything but normal. His master and Rixin could simply appear in his room out of nowhere, like ghosts.

Even now.

Yue Rixin suddenly appeared, picked the baby up from the bed, and held him in her arms. In the next instant, she vanished like a shadow.

'This is amazing! Will I be able to do this one day?'

Yue Jiachun wanted to try, but at the moment, he couldn't. He was still just a tiny baby.

The two of them appeared floating above a beautiful lake.

"Little brother, this is the Star Lake. It was created after Master used her power to forcibly carve out a massive crater! She's really strong!"

Rixin was excited, speaking as if the baby could understand her.

Yue Jiachun didn't fully understand everything, but seeing her enthusiastic expression, he deduced that she liked the lake. With his tiny hands, he happily pointed at the water, letting out a cheerful sound.

"I know, Master is amazing!"

Seeing the little one's reaction, Rixin couldn't resist and kissed his forehead, finding him adorable.

Then, she descended to the lake's surface and sat on the water without getting her clothes wet. Today, she wore a simple yellow dress.

Yue Jiachun, already accepting that this world was completely abnormal, touched the water. His tiny hand felt wet and cold, so he quickly pulled it back. Then, curious, he placed it back in the water and lifted a bit, trying to splash it at Rixin.

"...."

"This baby… Does he dislike me? Or does he want to play?"

Rixin was confused, unable to understand, but decided to join the game, splashing water back at the little child.

That irritated him.

'I will have my revenge!'

Yue Jiachun was angry.

[DETECTED THAT THE SMALL HOST REFUSES TO BE INFERIOR.]

[WATER CONTROL TECHNIQUE LEARNED.]

As soon as he heard the notification, he felt a deeper connection with the water, as if they were one. Placing his hand on the surface, he imagined it forming into a tiny droplet. In the next instant, he shot it at Rixin, hitting her directly.

The sound of a joyful baby echoed.

Yue Rixin could have dodged, but she decided to let herself be hit.

Even so, she was surprised.

"Did this child just control water…? Without cultivation or anything?"

She remembered her master's words.

"It's exactly as Master said… He is a child of the heavens."

Looking at the baby with a new light in her eyes, she smiled.

"Little one, when you grow up, you must protect this big sister."

Yue Jiachun nodded with his tiny hands. From his perspective, this girl had simply admitted defeat.

That made him feel proud.

The days continued like this: Yue Jiachun and Yue Rixin going to the lake and playing. Over time, Jiachun's proficiency in water control improved more and more.

Two months after his reincarnation, Yue Jiachun managed to form a water sword and launch it forward. The impact caused a slight explosion, sending water flying into the air.

'Hahaha, if the people on Earth, especially those otakus, knew about this, they'd be jealous of my superpower!'

Jiachun laughed internally, feeling like a true superhero for being able to launch a water sword.

"This growth is incredible… A two-month-old baby can already launch a sword? What would my second sister think of this?"

Yue Rixin was curious and smiled mischievously.

"Little brother, how about I introduce you to a sister?"

She asked the baby, who nodded with his tiny hands. In the next instant, he disappeared and reappeared in a vast field of swords.

Thousands of them were embedded in the ground, all pointing downward, exuding a sharp and intimidating aura.

Surrounded by the pressure of the swords, Yue Rixin protected the baby with her Qi, preventing the killing intent from affecting him.

At the center of the field, a woman meditated serenely. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and, with a simple wave of her hand, all the swords fell to the ground, canceling the formation.

She was the Second Disciple, Yue Jianying.

She looked at Yue Rixin and appeared before her in the blink of an eye, saying nothing. However, her eyes shone with a sharp sword intent.

Rixin felt a chill down her spine and quickly explained:

"Second sister, don't be mad! I just want to show you something interesting. Come with me!"

Without waiting for a response, she grabbed Yue Jianying's arm and, in an instant, both disappeared, reappearing above the lake.

"Little brother, show her your talent!"
