Primordial Cultivator

Chapter 90: Revealing the Truth

Yang Wei took a few deep breaths to calm his emotion before staring at Elder Jing with his crystal clear eye.

“Elder Jing… although I seemed to be young, I actually retain my memories from another world called Earth. I don’t know exactly how it happened but according to Senior Ling’s words, my soul is different from other cultivators.”

Yang Wei exclaimed, feeling relief that he no longer had to hide this secret from Elder Jing.

After all, he has found out many secrets from Elder Jing yet he has been dishonest this entire time.

This kind of feeling was not something that Yang Wei found to be likable, especially when he considered the fact of how much help he received from Elder Jing.

Meanwhile, Elder Jing merely held a dumbfounded expression as she tilted her head slightly.

Yang Wei didn’t say anything further since he waited for Elder Jing’s response.

‘Is Elder Jing mad about me keeping this a secret?’ Yang Wei pondered inwardly, feeling a little bit terrified if that was the case here.

Yang Wei trembled slightly as Elder Jing gave zero response but in the next moment, Elder Jing’s eyes flickered slightly with her expression turning extremely cold.

“That’s it?”

Elder Jing uttered in that one sentence, causing Yang Wei to widen his eyes in surprise.

“What do you mean that’s it? This is the secret I have been keeping from you.” Yang Wei hurriedly said.

His heart was pounding quickly as he couldn’t understand Elder Jing’s anger.

He already revealed his greatest secret that only one person knew because he found out with a mere glimpse of him. Thus, Yang Wei wasn’t expecting such a response from Elder Jing.

“So you’re telling me that because you’re not originally from this world and that your soul is different from others which indirectly helps you gain comprehension easily when compared to others.” Elder Jing asked softly.

Yang Wei nodded his head in response. “Un, Senior Ling also mentioned that his master was similar to me, where he had a different soul from another world during the desolate era. Which is also the reason he was able to become a peerless cultivator and ascend from this world according to Senior Ling’s word.”

Hearing Yang Wei’s serious tone, Elder Jing started laughing uncontrollably.

“Ai, I don’t even know if this is a laughable or ridiculous matter.” Elder Jing muttered as she covered her face with her hand in disappointment.

Yang Wei twitched his mouth slightly on the attitude of Elder Jing as he couldn’t understand what was so funny about him revealing his secret to her.

“I already knew about your soul being different from others in our first meeting already,” Elder Jing suddenly shouted in anger.

Yang Wei held a gawking expression as his eye socket almost popped out.

“H-Huh?”

Yang Wei tried to pinch himself to see if he was dreaming and thought this would be the most humorous outcome.

Alas, Yang Wei can feel his cheek burning from the pinch he did and stared at Elder Jing with a dumbfounded expression.

Never did he expect the secret he tried so hard to hide from Elder Jing was already long exposed during their first-ever meeting.

Elder Jing shrugged her shoulders as she gave up on him.

“You have always been acting suspiciously when concerning this topic yet it was simply about your soul.” Elder Jing exclaimed and continued.

“I’m an alchemist for heaven’s sake, Yang Wei. Did you really think I’m a fraud or a quack to not be able to sense a cultivator’s soul?”

Yang Wei was rendered speechless as he had no words to counter Elder Jing’s words. He had tried alchemy previously and knew how much soul and concentration are required to refine a single pill.

You must have high tenacity and dedication to sit for long hours for a pill creation that could also have a chance of failure despite the numerous hours spent on perfecting it.

Not everyone could accept such tedious work that doesn’t even guarantee success, hence the low number of alchemists in this world and the reason why they are held in high regard.

“I-If you knew that my soul is different then why did you keep silent all this time? I was always worried that you would find out the truth and would start avoiding me.” Yang Wei exclaimed with a depressed tone.

BOINK!

Elder Jing suddenly did a karate chop on Yang Wei’s head, causing him to stumble backward as he fell down slightly as he rubbed his head.

“Why did you smack me?” Yang Wei asked.

“When did you turn into such a fool, Yang Wei? Things have been going too smoothly for you and it’s starting to affect your mindset.” Elder Jing sighed as she shook her head.

“When I first met you, there was an aura around you that seemed to be preventing others from approaching you. Not only that, your eyes were crystal clear with you striving forward to achieve your goal. But after numerous successes without many setbacks in your cultivation path, you started to lose focus on your original goal.”

Elder Jing’s voice resounded inside Yang Wei’s mind as he started to recall his journey to the sect and applying for the sect, into coming to this mysterious realm, fighting multiple people with his sword technique.

Yang Wei started closing his eyes as he remembered his cultivation path has started to stray away from his original goal and mindset.

At the same time, he started entering into a similar state like enlightenment but not quite as it wasn’t a state to improve his cultivation but rather a state to improve his mind and to solidify his foundation.

Meanwhile, Elder Jing smiled briefly at Yang Wei who had already isolated himself from the rest of the world.

‘I have done my part already, Yang Wei. Whether or not you can learn something from this state depends on your ability.’

Elder Jing said inwardly as she walked toward her bed and proceeded to sit in a lotus position to cultivate.
