Chapter 1: Six Years
"Ahh… six years… time really passes too quickly."
A slightly short, white-haired boy, no more than six years old, sat quietly by the riverbank. His small feet dipped into the cold, flowing water as he held a fishing rod with casual ease.
Beside him, a wooden bucket sat empty.
It wasn't that he hadn't caught anything.
In the past two hours, he had caught quite a few fish…only to release every single one back into the river.
The boy, Lin Yuan, watched the ripples calmly, his expression far too composed for his age.
---
"Hm?"
The golden hue of the setting sun reflected across the water.
"It's already sunset…"
He sighed lightly and stood up.
"I should head back… or that old man will start nagging again… if they've returned."
With practiced ease, he packed his things and stored them inside a storage ring, then began walking toward his home.
---
Lin Yuan… wasn't originally from this world.
He was a reincarnator.
At first, when he became conscious and heard the language, he thought he had been reborn into some version of ancient China.
Not that he was Chinese in his previous life, but as someone who loved novels, he was more than familiar with such settings.
But everything changed at the age of two.
When he heard:
"The Pope's disciple has reached Level 40 at the age of sixteen…"
And the name...Qian Xunji...
That was when he understood, where he came, "Douluo Continent…"
Surprisingly, he didn't panic.
Instead, he felt… calm.
Because according to his memory, there were still more than thirty years before the main story involving Tang San would truly begin.
And with his family background…
As long as he didn't end up with a defective mutation like Yu Xiaogang…He would at least have 7–8 innate soul power.
By the time he finished thinking, he had already reached home.
A rich aroma drifted out from the kitchen.
Just as he was about to step inside.
BANG!!
A sharp slap landed on his back.
"Qingyue… do you want to get beaten?"
Without even turning around, Lin Yuan already knew who it was.
"Huh? Cousin, you seem a bit weak lately~ Are you doing something bad these days?"
A cheerful voice rang out.
His cheeks were suddenly pinched as Lin Qingyue stepped in front of him, giggling mischievously.
Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes.
"Hmph… Cousin Yue, you should take care of yourself."
He smirked.
"Otherwise, you might not grow up like Aunt… instead you will turn into an ugly duckling."
"…?!"
Before she could react.
He ran.
"YOU LITTLE BRAT....!!"
Nine-year-old Lin Qingyue stomped her foot in anger.
"I'll definitely beat you next time!"
But she knew very well…
If she complained, she would be the one getting scolded.
Meanwhile, Lin Yuan had already slipped into the kitchen.
Inside, his aunt, Xiao Qingqing, was preparing food.
He casually sat on a stool, watching her.
"Aunt Qingqing, what are you making today?"
He grabbed a cup of water and drank.
"Xiao Yuan, I'm making the dish you suggested earlier," she replied with a smile, continuing to cut vegetables.
"Oh?"
Lin Yuan's eyes lit up slightly.
"Then today's dinner should be good."
After a pause, he asked:
"When will Father and the others return?"
His mother needed her sixth soul ring, so nearly the entire family had gone to the
Star Dou Forest.
To be honest, he wasn't worried, the group consisted of: Two Soul Saints, Two Soul Emperors, Two Soul Kings and for the sixth soul ring hunt, that was enough.
Very few things in the forest could threaten that lineup.
But…
It had already been over thirty days.
And tomorrow, was his martial soul awakening.
Compared to that...their return mattered him more.
---
An hour later
The door opened.
Five figures entered.
All of them looked exhausted.
"Mom!"
Without hesitation, Lin Yuan ran forward and hugged his mother.
Bai Yueling looked down at the boy clinging to her.
His small frame barely reached her waist, his clear blue eyes staring up at her.
Her expression softened instantly.
"Xiao Yuan… have you been well?"
She knelt down and gently held his shoulders.
Lin Yuan nodded.
Behind them, the others, grandfather, grandmother, father, and uncle, watched with faint smiles before returning to their rooms.
"I heard you went fishing again?" Bai Yueling asked, lifting him slightly.
"Mm."
Lin Yuan clicked his tongue.
"I caught some… but let them go."
"…You child."
She smiled faintly.
---
"Go rest early. Tomorrow is your awakening ceremony."
She ruffled his hair gently before leaving.
That night, Lin Yuan lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling.
His thoughts drifted.
In his previous life…
He was an orphan.
---
He struggled endlessly just to survive.
Learned skills.
Worked constantly.
Chased money.
---
It wasn't until he was 28 that he finally gained stability.
Peace.
That was when he discovered yoga.
Not for the body.
But for the mind.
True yoga was never about flexibility.
That was only a byproduct.
---
Its essence was:
Alignment. Balance. Inner stillness.
But before he could truly enjoy life…
An accident happened
And then
Rebirth.
"It's been… five years since I regained my memories…"
Lin Yuan murmured softly.
And in these past three years, he had already changed everything.
---
Using his past-life knowledgeand the clan's three cultivation systems and yogic chakra principles, he created something new.
❝A complete cultivation system based on seven energy centers❞
Not only him, even his family had benefited.
Most of them had already opened five energy nodes.
The result?
His grandfather, from Level 73…to Peak Level 79 in just two year.
Only one step away from Soul Douluo.
And that wasn't all.
This method also granted:
Faster recovery
Stronger regeneration
Better energy control
And most importantly : Origin energy comprehension
A level of understanding most people in this world…didn't even realize existed.
"If their techniques are considered 'Divine'…"
Lin Yuan closed his eyes slowly.
---
"Then mine…is complete."
With that thought....he finally drifted into sleep.
---
Tomorrow, would be the beginning.
