Immortal System

It has been a week since he came into this world.

During those times, he has been continually observing his environment. It was limited to the area around his house though. He didn't get much information since he slept most of the times and his mom wouldn't bring him out often.

Tian Feng discovered that besides the layout of his room and his parents' appearance, everything else had changed.

In his previous world, his parents were government officers. Here, they were restaurant owners. This startled him because his childhood's dream had always been to own a restaurant. Living such a calming normal life. How great would that be?

In the whole residence, the only thing that is the same is the interior design of his room. The current residence is more prominent and new. He wasn't sure whether things were always like this when he was young but there's no way he can confirm that at the moment.

He doesn't remember anything before the age of 6. He also discovers that he's still as dimwitted as he was before coming into this world. The excellent memory he had in his childhood didn't return. Tian Feng was a little depressed upon this realization.

Apparently, his family doesn't seem to be very wealthy. There are one motorbike and one bicycle in the house. The same as how it was back in his previous world.

When Tian Feng first saw the motorbike, he was surprised. The existence of the motorbike and bicycle could compromise the existence of the cultivation world that he had dreamt of.

However, after taking a closer look, the motorbike seems to be different from the one from Earth. As to what was the differences specifically, he couldn't find out. It was only after looking at the ancient style residence and road that he felt a bit reassured.

Every day, his father would ride on the motorbike to go to work and come back with ingredients for the food.

Tian Feng always had to pretend to be asleep lest his mother plays with him like a kid. It wasn't that he dislikes it but it felt very awkward.

While pretending to be asleep, he would have strange feelings and thoughts. [Many things are still the same but, something... seems to be different as a whole... I feel like I don't know of something important. Just what could it be?!]

Parallel Universe is a concept where there are many versions of the universe and there are many versions of the world.

He had heard about it from a discussion in a movie he watched on Earth. At the time, he was particularly interested in that topic which is why he still remember it until now.

[Parallel Universe... Parallel World... I somehow arrived here. This is my most magnificent encounter so far. haha...]

[I have a feeling that this time, everything is gonna be different.]

Kacha!

The door was open to show a woman. It's his mother. She has come to play with him again. His mother is with him all the times but he didn't get to see his father much besides meal time.

Whenever Tian Feng saw his mother and the everlasting smile on her face, he always felt warm. [I'll try to talk to her today.]

"Little Feng, come on! call mommy..." This is a phrase that his mother would say to him every time she saw him. He had never tried to actually talk to her again after he failed that first time.

With a determined mind, Tian Feng tried to call his mother. "Aaa...thaa..."

The word didn't come out as he expected. Try again! This is a sign of improvement. Last time, there wasn't even any discernable sound come out.

"Maa..ta.."

His mother didn't seem to notice this as she was indulged in playing with his hands and belly. Perhaps she misheard this as him chuckling.

Not giving up, Tian Feng unnaturally tried to call her again. "M...mo...moher!"

He felt satisfied hearing his own voice even though the word come out unclear and barely discernable. As long as he speaks more, he'll able to speak properly. Practice makes perfect.

His mother turned to look at him in incredulity. She froze for a brief moment before starts laughing softly. "Good, good, good. My son just called me. I should mark this as his first word. He's such a genius."

Tian Feng didn't expect his mother to be this happy. Although he saw her smile every day, this is the happiest he had ever seen her. Even including the previous world, this is still the happiest he had seen in mother.

He's also excited that he would soon be able to ask his mother about everything. Just as he is about to say another word, he swallowed it back because he didn't know how should he explain his situation to his mother.

Imagine a one-year-old baby start talking about the mystery of the world. That might give his mother a heart attack. [It was close! Phew...]

Left with no choice, he decided not to tell his mother about his other life for the time being.

Woke up from his thought, he saw his mother raised her left hand up to her face. He noticed a strange ring on her ring finger.

[Her wedding ring...?] Tian Feng exclaimed in his mind. [What's she going t...]

Before he could finish his thought, he saw his mother started speaking to the ring agitatedly. "Dear! Come home early!!! Our son can talk now and he just said his first word to me. hehe... too bad he called I, his mother first."

Upon hearing this, Tian Feng's mouth is wide opened on a scale that a baby can. [Mom can be so playful! I thought she was always calm.]

Even in his previous world, his mother was always calm and solemn. [Did she become like that because of him?]

Tian Feng felt stifled at the thought of this.

This is the first time he saw his mother lost her composure since he cames to this world. He stared at her for a moment before his face replaced with excitement.

His mother just talked to a ring! And what does that mean? That's right! It means this world either has magic or some super advanced technology. [I knew it...I knew it...I knew it...Magic is real...hahaha]

Forgetting that his voice is still stiff, he excitedly asked his mother. "Ma...thher, who... were... you... talking... to?"

While he knows that she's just talked to his father, he had to feign ignorance for now. Excited as he was, he still had a mind of an a.d.u.l.t. Coming up with an indirect question is almost natural that he didn't need any effort at all. It just comes naturally.

After all, a 1-year-old kid couldn't possibly infer such information, could he?

Not expecting her son to suddenly speaking so many words like this, she was a little startled.

[Phew... I keep forgetting. Acting like a kid sure is tough.] Tian Feng was nervous when he saw how his mother looks at him.

His mother recovered swiftly and answered softly. "I was talking to your father."

Tian Feng knew that he should not ask any further if he didn't want his mother to get suspicious. However, that didn't mean that he won't be able to know about the ring. There are many ways to ask a question after all.

Instead of talking, Tian Feng decided to stare at her ring with his sparkingly curious eyes.

The meaning was clear... Hurry up and tell me more about it, mom!

Noticing her son's gaze, she chuckled lightly. Her son is so young, yet he already so quick-wit. She pinched his nose slightly and raised her hand up to shows him her ring.

"Here! See this? I talked to your father via this ring."

"Ah...so cool..." Tian Feng exclaimed while raising his tiny hand to touch it.

"Hehe! I'll give you one when you're older..." she paused for a moment seemingly pondering over something. "Eh...how come you can talk so much?"

Earlier she was so amused at the fact that her son finally started talking that she didn't notice anything strange. But since she had calmed down a bit, she realized that her son is different from an ordinary kid. He talked a bit too much like an a.d.u.l.t.

Besides, where does he learned those words?

Tian Feng was frozen. He didn't expect his mother to ask this question. [I have to change the topic to distract her.]

"Hungry..." he said with a face that about to cry.

Tian Feng didn't know how bad his acting is right now. His mother had already seen through his ploy but she didn't expose him. On the other hand, her smile is getting brighter and brighter. "Don't cry! Don't cry! I'll get you something to eat very quickly."

Immediately after she closed the door, a faint sound of laughter could be heard. "Hahaha... good...good...good... my son is also a genius. Who said that only the Inner Circle bloodline can give birth to geniuses!"

Oblivious to the fact that his mother had already seen through everything, he heaved a sigh of relief. Then a sudden realisation struck him. [My son is also a genius? Also? ALSO? What does she mean by 'also'?"

Tian Feng has a strange expression right now. [Didn't that mean other kids can speak like me? I'm not that strange in this world? This is not something strange?]

Hais... I was trying to act for nothing.

It didn't take long for his mother to prepare food for him. She came back with a bowl of baby porridge. After he's done eating, he decided to ask his mother about everything.

Since such a thing could be considered normal then there's no need to be too cautious anymore. Besides, this is his mother after all.

Tian Feng spent the entire afternoon chatting with his mother. His voice is not that stiff anymore due to all the talking.

He has learned many things about this world. Almost everything is different from his previous world.

This world is called the Celestial World.

There's no primary school or secondary school or any kind of these schools here. However, there's an academy which accepts anyone who has basic cultivation level 9.

Yeah, that's right. CULTIVATION...It's really cultivation. This is a cultivation world that he yearned for.

Cultivation here has many realms, it's pretty much similar to all those novels he read. The first realm is the Mortal realm, the second one is the Spiritual realm and so on.

Each realm has 9 stages and each stage has 9 levels. It can also be divided into four minor stages. From level one until the peak of level 2, it's the primary stage; three until the peak of level 5 is the intermediate stage; six until the peak of level 8 is the advanced stage and level nine is the peak stage.

The first step is called "Basic Cultivation". It's also known as Qi Condensation, cultivators need to feel the Qi around them and learn to absorb it into their body. It doesn't require any special technique to practice.

People depend on innate talent to sense Qi and anyone that can sense it could be considered to have fate with cultivation. Otherwise, they can only lead an ordinary life.

Science in this world is not advanced. The term 'science' itself doesn't even exist. It took him some effort before he can finally explain his question to his mother.

In this world, there's no internet or mobile phone which is as he had expected. There are various researches however, they are all focusing on cultivation.

His mother doesn't know much about that so he couldn't get more information.

There are 9 continents and 8 seas in the Celestial world. The current continent is called Xue Tian continent. Tian Feng is currently living in the middle circle of the Jade Flute Kingdom.

To make an analogy, the middle circle is comparable to any province while the outer circle could be considered as the rural area. The inner circle is the capital. The royal family also resided in the inner circle.

Tian Feng is lying on his bed with a worried face. His mother had left him a while ago to prepare dinner. His thought drifted off.

[Li'er! Yu'er! Hui'er! Dongfang! Where are you now? How should I find you in this vast world?]

After getting to know more about this world, he recalled his friends from Earth. They were the only friends that didn't abandon him after he becomes a useless bastard. He had to cut all contact with them because he doesn't have any face to meet them.

Now that's he came here, he wanted to see them again.

The landscape might still be the same but everything else has changed. According to what his mother told him, he speculated that this world is much bigger than Earth. The fact that everything around him is still the same is still a mystery to him.

Having been looking at the surrounding house for a week, he already know that the city is no longer the same and everything else besides the residence is different.

He heaved a deep sigh as he closed his eyes. "Sigh... Let's hope that I can meet them in the academy!"

When he was about to fall asleep, another thought popped up.

[It's strange...how come I still don't get any system?! Could it be unactivated?!]

"Sigh... Or maybe the system is just too unreal... in the beginning, those are just some authors imagination."

It's funny to see such a baby sighing deeply a few times in a single day.

Overwhelmed with information and tiredness, he finally fell asleep.

In a restaurant...

Tian Lang is restless. Ever since he received the voice message from his wife, he's been wanting to see his son anxiously.

As the owner, he should be able to leave whenever he want to. However, there were many customers today and he can't leave it to the workers.

It's almost the time to close and there are only a few customers left. He's walking toward the door while shouting. "Ah Xing! You must close the restaurant properly. I'm leaving early today!"

Ah Xing was cleaning a table by the door when he heard his boss voice. He stopped cleaning and turned his head over with a smile. "Yes, boss!"

"Eh...boss! Why are you leaving so early?"

Tian Lang stopped his track and turned back, left hand behind his back, he looked proud. "My son started talking today!!! hahaha... He's able to talk now!"

Without waiting for any reply, he started walking again.

"Congratulation boss! Don't worry about the restaurant! Leave it to me..." Ah Xing shouted, waving his fat hand.

After which, Tian Lang's silhouette flashing a few times before disappearing into the crowd.

Entering his home, he saw his wife cooking. He walks stealthily toward her then hugged her from behind. "Dear! I'm back... Where's our son?"

He Ming turned her head over and cast a glance at her husband. She smiled sweetly and said, "You really come back early! hehe... our son is in his room! Go and bring him here to have dinner."

"Okay!" He kissed his wife's cheek before leaving hurriedly in the direction of his son's room.

Kachaaaa!

The door slowly opened, revealing a small baby sleeping on his bed defenselessly.

Tian Lang leaned toward the baby and lift his arms up then shook it gently. "Little Feng! Your father's home."

Tian Feng had been sleeping for around 90 minutes already when his father came in to wake him up for dinner. Slowly opening his eyes, he called out to his father while yawning. "Father...***yawning!***"

Tian Lang is smiling ear to ear. "Good...good...good! That's my son! Come, Let's have dinner!"

He already knows that his son can talk but hearing it with his own ears still give him an estatic feeling. He's so happy that he can't stop smiling at all.

Tian Feng already got used to talking after an entire afternoon of practices so when his father came in, he instinctively called out to him.

They both leave the room to have dinner. After finishing their dinner, his mother smiles at him then turns to face his father. "Dear! Our son is a genius. He wants to cultivate. You should teach him."

His father cast a glance at him then turned back to his mother. He is even happier than a few moments ago. "Em... How about I start to teach him tonight?"

Tian Lang also knew that his son is a genius but being a genius doesn't guanranteed him a great future. Talent without hard work is nothing. Thus, when he heard that his son already want to cultivate at such a young age, he felt relieved and happy.

Hearing that he will be learning to cultivate tonight, Tian Feng felt excited beyond words. Which novel fan doesn't wish to cultivate before? To think that he will be able to cultivate tonight, there's no word to describe his joy at this moment.

He Ming nodded her head, "Sound good!"

After which, his father picked him up and walked to the backyard. "Little Feng! let us go cultivating!"

His calm and solemn father couldn't stop smiling today. [Am I really such a genius?]

Tian Feng was all excited to learn about cultivation but when he arrived in the backyard, he has a doubt. "Father, I can't even walk yet. Can I really practice cultivation?"

Hearing his son question, Tian Lang was amazed. His son is so small but he can already think so far.

Back when he was a 1-year-old kid, he doesn't even remember anything.

What a genius! Truly a genius! I, Tian Lang is so fortunate to have this genius as my son.

The smile on his face grew wider and wider, "Little Feng! Tonight, Your father, I will teach you about cultivation."
