The Path of Purity, The Blade of Resolve

At the braymhch family

 " Welcome back young master how was your evening stroll, was the sunset pleasing to look at "an old man looking to be in his 80s with is back slightly bent and head lowered."

 "Mmm it was pleasing to the eyes" Galahad responds as he walks into his personal courtyard

 "Also tell my father that he should send me some herbs I have decided to begin cultivation the secular words holds no allure in my eyes. Now leave me be" leaving his command behind Galahad walks straight into is room leaving the slightly stunned and trembling old man alone.

 "Finally the young lord have decided to cultivate his lord will be pleased, I have to inform him of this at this instant"

 After saying this, the weak looking old man took a step and appeared 10 meters away while leaving no footstep behind, the courtyard sank into silence once more,only the rustling leaves and the falling sun in the distance as it brilliance slowly fades and the word embraces the darkness.

 Meanwhile, the old man appears in front of a majestic looking building, his presence concealed once more, his back bent, and head lowered.

He slowly enters the courtyard, his feet making no noise, as if afraid he might disturb the presence inside. Reaching in front of the door he slowly knocked three times and the door slowly opened.

The entire room looks bright and spacious obviously meant to entertain guest. A man sitting on a rocking chair, with his back turned as he watches the sun slowly fade away from the window.

 The old man seeing the back of the man knelt down respectfully, then a voice filled with authority addresses him.

 " What do you want Hendrick, I told u to protect my son and stay with him, so unless it is of great importance you will not be exempted from punishment "

 The man sitting stands up as he faces the old man with a bright smile, yet his face was hazy. Seeing the man get up, and seeing that very smile the old man shudders and bows down till his head touches the floor

  " It is something of great importance my lord the young master has sent me to request of herbs to cultivate, and he said he no longer find interest in the secular world"

 The man with a bright smile seemed slightly stunned

" That is something of importance. Alright go back and tomorrow you can go collect the herb"

The man smiled brightly before continuing

"No longer interested in the secular world is it. What am imposing sentence, even me the great head of the braymhch family dares not say such. Such fine words indeed, tell him that if he can cultivate well and pass the royal academy upcoming test, I shall prepare for him a sword that befits him"

 Finishing his statement the man burst into laughter.

Then, the old man no longer daring to stay, stood up with his head lowered walked out the door, the head of the braymhch family laughter still resounding in the room.

 Back in the young lord courtyard.

Inside a room, Galahad seats down cross-legged on a cultivation mat, as he takes a deep breath while pondering.

 "In my last life though my cultivation speed was the best, and I made a mistake that cost me. Now I can change this, the first three cultivation realms signifies the importance of the body and the mind. The first cultivation stage :

 The body tempering stage, it consists of four minor realms; bone tempering

Iron skin

marrow cleansing

Body shedding

This four stage are important for the foundation of become an expert. Although in my past life I used the best treasure in completing this stage but in fact I lacked perseverance.

For 14 years since I have been reborned, I have being cleansing my body each year by utilizing the natural properties of the world, and observing the change of the seasons, linking the understanding to my body physique, and can now easily adapt to any situation the moment I start cultivating. But my path is that of the sword, so why do I need my body to be able to cultivate all form of arts.

My path Is that of the sword only. In my previous life I saw an ancient technique, and I finally completed it today.

It requires you to be exactly 14 years, without any hint of cultivating at all. Even if u cripple yourself and tried to cultivate the art, it still won't work.

Only a 14 years old who has not cultivated at all, can cultivate it, and I have waited fourteen years since my rebirth, just to cultivate my sword physique and looking at the complete art it was all worth it.

Taking a deep breath, I circulated the technique that I have long imprinted in my head.

Slowly the changes the season tempering did to my body, was slowly purged, bringing excruciating pain.

I gritted my teeth together, balled my fist tightly, piercing my skin with my fingers. In just a minute my entire body was drenched in sweat, then slowly blackish substance started to be removed from my body.

Slowly the impurities got purged. It took ten minute for the process to end, and slowly my skin started to glitter.

Breaking thought the first stage of the body tempering stage, but instead of a metallic hue like most it was a sliver like hue it seemed ethereal almost nonexistent. My skin was pure white, without any blemish, with an obsidian black eyes that looked unfathomable and hair glittering gray.

Standing up slowly I walked towards the water I had prepared, removing my clothes I dipped my body into the cold water slowly closing my eyes, as I fell asleep into due to the exhaustion.
