Modern Emperor - Chapter 6 A Second Breakthrough

Before the sun rose in the sky, Xander was already awake.

Moving his feet and hands in a strange pattern, his train was going smooth.

He was preparing to cultivate, it was necessary to have a strong body and soul.

‘It has been one week already. If I’m not wrong, next month I have to go to my family’s place.’

After hearing everything from Sophia, he saw the need to become stronger. As he didn’t know magic, it was easier to cultivate all over again, everything was on his head.

‘I guess it was not only in the Three Thousand Worlds, but here, too. I have to be the strongest, if I’m not, I’ll be swallowed by the strong, and my freedom will be encaged.’

Training hard every day, Xander was almost ready to start cultivating.

There is eighty one Periods in total, and nine Human Realms. In each Human Realms there is nine Periods. After the Human Realm stage is the Saint Realm, and then the God Realm. Before his death, he was in the peak of the God Realm, he was the first human to ever accomplish it.

Knowing every step, it was easier to cultivate to the First Period. He trained for five days, except for the need to sleep and eat, he didn’t stop training at all.

“My mind is always peaceful, the only problem was this body, it was no good. But it’s solved, five days training nonstop is enough for the First Period.”

It was seven in the afternoon when Sophia came back. When she opened the door, what greeted her was a topless Xander with sweat all over his body and a violent aura around him.

“Hmm, it has been a long time without feeling it, it is indeed wonderful.”

Delight was written all over his face.

“Darling, you were training every day because of this?”

Sophia was full of curiosity. It seemed like magic, but the feeling was somehow different.

“Yes, it’s called cultivation, if I can’t use magic to control the things around me, I will use cultivation to control myself. Maybe it’s the answer to use magic, who knows.”

“It’s impressive! But, where you learned it? Before you lost your memories, you didn’t say nothing about this.”

“It’s simple, when I was unconscious, I saw a light. That light told me how to do this.”

“If I was not here, I wouldn’t believe. But, seeing the aura around you, all I can do is believe.”

Xander was wondering how this risky and stupid answer worked, but, if it is stupid and works, it’s not stupid.

“Tell me, what you can do with it?”

“A lot of things, but it’s just the First Period of the first Human Realm, I can’t do much. In the first Human Realm, all of my body goes to a great change overall, and in the ninth Human Realm, I can do even more things, but it’s not important right now.”

Xander was satisfied with the answers, who told that teachers were a boring role?

“I didn’t understand it very well, but it seems very cool. Can you teach me how to do it?”

He was surprised, even though she saw him training hard every day, she still wanted to cultivate. It should be known that one had to have a suitable mind and body to do it, otherwise, one should just forget about it.

“Are you sure?” Xander asked seriously. “It’s not easy. The concept may be easy for some people, but in practice, I can assure you, even for me in the start was not easy.”

“It’s okay, I have some confidence in myself.”

Xander was somewhat hesitating, he never had any pupil in ten thousand years, so it was understandable that he was hesitating.

“First, I will need to check your body to see how much you will need to train fisically.”

“My body is all yours, Master.” Sophia said with her cheeks red.

“As your Master, I forbid you to say such malicious things.”

“Okay, Master~”

When he finished, he discovered surprising things. She could start cultivation without any train, and her body had a strange energy, the strange energy was in her head, it should not be harmful, but it was a thing he never saw before.

“Oh, that should be magic, I mean, I was born with that thing in my head, that’s why I can use magic. Everyone who has that, can use magic. That’s why I became a slave and was sold to a magician family.”

“I’m sorry to hear that. But I got good news for you, you can start right now, your body is strong enough to cultivate till the First Period.”

“Great! When will we start?”

“Right now. Sit and relax, close your eyes and follow my instructions.”

“It’s like meditation?”

“Yes, kind of.”

Two hours later.

Xander’s eyes were blank, with no trace of a soul. Two hours have passed and she is in the First Period.

It made Xander almost go mad, when he started cultivation thousands of years ago, he took almost one year to reach the First Period, but a normal human like her took two hours to reach it, it’s frustrating.

“Am I doing it right? I feel something good in my body, it’s relaxing and warm. This sensation is really good.” said Sophia, with closed eyes and a big smile.

“Yes…”

Feeling something strange from his tone, she opened her eyes.

“What happened, Darling? Are you feeling sick?”

Sick? Yes, I’m feeling it. How could she do that? I know that it was not intentional, but she hurted me and my pride! If she was in the other world she would be a goddess! She has even aptitude to be a magician, which is something that even I don’t have. What a cruel world.

“No, I’m fine. Congratulations, you reached the First Period. I’m happy for you.”

“Did I do something wrong, Darling?”

“My pride…”

“I didn’t hear you…”

“Let’s sleep.

“Okay, teach me tomorrow, too!”

…..

The moment Sophia made her breakthrough, there were people who sensed it.

Inside a mountain, in the northwest of China.

“Hmmmm?! What’s happening? The first breakthrough was surprising enough, and then comes a second breakthrough? Those old bastards! What will happen to the agreement?!”

…

Inside a tiny apartment, in Tokyo, Japan.

“Hahaha, a second one? This is becoming fun!” said a bearded man.

“Sakazuki-san, this is serious, things may become troublesome, they are not far from here. Why don’t we go see how they-”

“Shut up, let them be. Let’s see what they will do from now on. If they try to break the agreement, we will take care of them. If they don’t, just let them go.”

…..

In the north of Alaska, a little house was struggling against the wind, almost falling down.

A tall old man with white beard and blue eyes was seated in his armchair, smoking something while reading a newspaper.

Suddenly, he sensed Xander’s breakthrough.

“A breakthrough? Indeed surprising in this age. But it’s just the first stage, nothing to be worried about.”

And then, two hours later.

“A second breakthrough? Indeed surp- A SECOND BREAKTHROUGH?!!”

Saying nothing more, he stood and got out of his little house.

“What will happen to this world? And the agreement? Will the gods forgive us?”
