Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

"So here you two are." 

In a space on a mountain where there was a very elegant little rustic house, two charming figures were sitting near a small table when a male voice suddenly came.

"Grand Master!" 

Xuanyuan Ling blinked briefly in surprise before shaking her head and looking straight ahead with a joyful expression. Yang Jing, beside her, also heard this voice and she followed Xuanyuan Ling's gaze. 

In front of these two young women, the space swayed slightly and out of nowhere two figures appeared, a man and a woman. 

Ling Tian nodded with a smile, while still holding hands with Zhang Xinya at his side. 

"Did you teach her the needful, Ling'er?" Ling Tian looked at Xuanyuan Ling. 

In order to cultivate, one needed to have certain information to take the first step towards the path of cultivation. Although not all the information in the world was needed, several points were still necessary. 

"Yeah, Grand Master! In fact, Yang Jing already knew something considerable about the basics, so I only taught her a few more things!" 

Xuanyuan Ling nodded with a smile full of confidence towards Ling Tian. Indeed, Yang Jing knew quite a lot for just a mortal with no cultivation at all, surprising Xuanyuan Ling a bit, as Yang Jing came from a poor and low-level environment, where knowledge should be scarce and very poor. 

After conversing a bit, Yang Jing told Xuanyuan Ling several things, such as her home and where she came from, as well as told her a bit about her big brother and the new sister they had made. Yang Jing even had an excellent memory despite not having a cultivation base, let alone opening her knowledge sea! 

"Are you ready?" Ling Tian thanked Xuanyuan Ling with a smile and then looked at Yang Jing. 

"I'm ready!" 

Yang Jing replied seriously as she stood up. Beside her, on the small table were some dishes with slight leftovers, so Yang Jing had finished her breakfast. Being a mortal, Yang Jing still had to feed and sleep like all other humans who haven't started cultivating. 

Xuanyuan Ling pulled a chair closer, placing it beside her so Zhang Xinya could sit down as well. Zhang Xinya smiled gratefully at the gesture.

Then, Ling Tian gestured Yang Jing to come over and sit where he pointed. Yang Jing quickly got up and sat down at the pointed place, she crossed her legs and made a serious expression. After all, this is the first time she will be able to enter the path to be an immortal cultivator and be like her big brother. 

"Cultivation is a path where you will have to face many difficulties and problems, it is a completely different life full of ups and downs, a path where strength is what matters the most, and your actions and thoughts will determine your own future..." 

Ling Tian gave a short explanation. Yang Jing, who was cross-legged, kept her expression full of seriousness and recording all of Ling Tian's words. 

After a few minutes, in Ling Tian's hand appeared a beautiful and attractive snowflake that conveyed an intense yet gentle coldness at the same time. Yang Jing's eyes could not help but focus on this snowflake. 

"... Frosty Heart Snow?" Xuanyuan Ling narrowed her eyes at the sight of the snowflake in Ling Tian's hand, remembering a little about this heaven and earth spiritual treasure that is very rare to find. 

"You must already know about the meridians in your body, as well as the acupuncture points and the vital spaces within you that are necessary in order to gather the aura and begin the true cultivation..." 

Ling Tian looked at Yang Jing, who nodded her head earnestly. 

Opening the palm that lightly held the snowflake, Ling Tian lifted it up and the Frosty Heart Snow flew calmly overhead, floating in front of Yang Jing as the cold aura it gave off enveloped her. 

"Let the cold enter your body, then you will notice that the cold will begin to circulate forming a path, going and returning, those paths are your meridians inside your body, which you will have to fully perceive so that you can actually cultivate..." 

Ling Tian explained slowly, allowing Yang Jing to fully comprehend as she tried to resist the intense cold of the Frosty Heart Snow. 

The Frosty Heart Snow is a natural Heaven and Earth Treasure, containing a terrifying cold energy. If a common low-level cultivator tried to absorb its energy, they might die to the point of being frozen to death, but this terrifying energy would become an essential food for some special physiques, such as the case of Yang Jing. 

The Frosty Heart Snow is the main element Yang Jing needs to really cultivate, this snowflake would unlock the acupuncture points in Yang Jing's body, also activating her meridians and finally allowing her to cultivate. 

Time passed gradually, seconds turned into minutes, and minutes reached over an hour. Ling Tian helped Yang Jing many times through his power, indicating the path she had to follow and making the cold aura flow, with a couple of times helping her to release one or two difficult acupuncture points on her body. 

Yang Jing's body looked like a popsicle, with layers of ice covering almost her entire body that was shivering slightly. However, her expression remained serious, even though her eyes were closed, one could still notice the pain and discomfort on her face, but Yang Jing did not emit a sound, let alone complain. 

The ice also spread from Yang Jing's body, slowly spreading and freezing the grass and some trees in the distance. 

After a while, Ling Tian slightly narrowed his gaze at the sight of Yang Jing and then nodded in satisfaction. 

 * Crack... * 

As if very thin sheet of paper was torn into two pieces, Yang Jing suddenly felt several shackles on her body gradually disappear. She felt as if a layer of stones that she had been carrying on her shoulders all her life was completely removed! 

A cold aura spread for several dozen meters, surging from Yang Jing's body, extending even more than a hundred meters in a few seconds. 

Her breathing deepened, feeling that the air entering her lungs was purer and cleaner, her heartbeat intensified, pumping more blood to her entire body in an instant. Her awareness seemed to be cleared, as if a layer of fog that hid and slowed her thoughts disappeared, observing the world with greater clarity. Even her hearing seemed to improve, hearing birdsong and faint murmurs in the distance. 

But what surprised Yang Jing the most was that, her frozen and numb body that was completely covered in ice a few moments ago, seemed to fill with an amazing strength, feeling like she could kill a cow or a bull with a single punch with her small fist! 

The ice covering her body vanished, being absorbed into her own body as the aura seemed to gather around Yang Jing as well. 

"This..." 

Yang Jing finally felt that there was a strange air around her, and once she concentrates, this mysterious air starts to swirl around her and enters her body gradually! Even the cold energy of the snowflake that was still floating in front of her is absorbed into her body as well! 

"Congratulations, you've finally taken the first step towards being able to cultivate!" 

Suddenly, Ling Tian's voice brought Yang Jing out of her thoughts. She looked up, observing him and then remaining confused for a moment as she saw Ling Tian looking at her with an expression full of congratulations. 

His words... so, that meant she had officially become a cultivator? 

That feeling of gathering the air around her is the true chi spirit of the world? The spiritual energy that every cultivator absorbs to become stronger? This is what her big brother had explained to her many times? 

Small tears formed at the corners of both of Yang Jing's eyes. A feeling of accomplishment and personal liberation flooded her heart. 

She had finally succeeded in cultivating after so long! 

After being humiliated, scorned and abandoned, receiving ridicule and disdain from everyone, Yang Jing was finally able to become a legendary cultivator! 

"The path of cultivation is cold, lonely and full of endless obstacles, there will always be people who will try to despise you and make you feel bad, individuals who will want to see you die, but in the face of all that you must keep your mind clear and your head held high, words are carried away by the wind, but your actions are what will remain for all time... a strong enemy today who looks down on you may be a weak ant tomorrow when you attain superior strength..." 

Observing her expression and understanding her mood a little, Ling Tian smiled at her and comforted Yang Jing a little. A person who could not cultivate, in a world where only cultivation existed, would be despised and humiliated by everyone, even down to the family itself. 

"Thank you..." 

Finishing listening to Ling Tian's words, finally, Yang Jing smiled sweetly and full of gratitude at the sight of him, realizing his intentions behind all the words he said to her. 

This strange and mysterious young man who separated her from her brother had given her the opportunity to step onto the legendary path of cultivators, something she thought she might not achieve in this life after waiting for several years, losing almost all her hopes. 

Yang Jing took a deep breath and she couldn't help but think of Xiao Chen, her big brother. A feeling of joy mixed with longing arose in her heart. She was finally able to cultivate, but at what cost?

Although Yang Jing was cheerful and happy, knowing that she would no longer have to wait to be rescued and protected all the time and wait for help, worry for her big brother still lingered in her heart, praying that wherever he was, he would be okay, as well as their new sister.
