Cheat Cultivator's Ascension

“I don’t have much time to talk with you for now, let me tell you the most important things about the turning point” the adult Su Xiaotian said as he snapped his fingers, a fragment of light coming out from him as he did so and directly going towards the current Su Xiaotian’s forehead.

“That’s an integral part of the things you will be encountering, at least, based on what you think is the greatest possibility, but still, there are a lot of possibilities loaded in there so try to absorb it within the next minutes and get the general gist of it, and ask me everything that you don’t understand, I’ll try to clarify it as much as I can before my timer runs out”

As his adult version said that, Su Xiaotian already closed his eyes and entered a focused state while he started absorbing each and every part of the information given to him with unparalleled efficiency, his enhanced soul power allowing him to completely integrate with the information within just the span of five minutes give or take, something that the him in the previous timeline fails to properly predict as well.

Opening his eyes, he made his adult self quite surprised as said adult version started walking around and scanning him up and down, wondering whether this young man was still the same him given the vast difference between their talents, and that is even with the fact that he is already expecting that there will be a difference between their talents given all the things that he managed to accumulate in order to support himself.

“You’re done?” the older Su Xiaotian asked with some hint of astonishment on his face after scanning his current self, wondering just how is it that he managed to enter such an explosive rate of growth, not only of his cultivation realm but also of his talent like this.

“Is it that hard to absorb that?” Su Xiaotian smiles to his adult self as he completely snaps out of the memories he absorbed, a lot of important words in his mind but something resounded mostly, a thing about a decision and the Imperial Court.

“What a monster…” the adult Su Xiaotian said with a helpless smile on his face as he looked at his current self who had progressed far more than he expected before he traveled back from the future through the Absolute River of Time, and seemingly about to continue progressing at such pace in the future as well.

“It was you who created this timeline, how is it even that you didn’t know this would happen?” seeing the reaction on his adult self’s face, Su Xiaotian couldn’t help but wonder causing him to point it out, the adult version of himself smiling wryly before he starts clearing it up for him.

“I wasn’t the one who created this timeline, it is you… I merely served as the catalyst for you to change to flow of the Absolute River of Time and create a new path for it to flow altogether” he said as he pointed out towards the immortal-like young man, said young man looking at him in quite the disbelief as he heard those words, yet given all the things that he had found out from the moment that he starts having his memories of the previous timeline, he took it pretty well and recovers from the shock within just a moment.

“So that means, even with all our, my power attained in the previous timeline, my current growth cannot even be predicted?” Su Xiaotian asked, prompting his adult self to nod as he started pointing out another thing for him, taking this chance to explain a lot of things given that despite the changes in talents, he knows that this current, and better version of his is still himself, and he knows in this situation just how much clarification his current self would want.

“Indeed, haven’t you seen it already? Just the fact alone that the Universal Shop System created to guide you cannot even respond properly to your aptitude during its earlier time means that you had already transcended the expectation that you put to yourself… and well, that is something really impressive given that expectation comes from someone who stands at the very top of all existence” his adult version said with a smile on his face, a proud one that definitely wants to brag about the achievement they had attained during that timeline.

“Just how strong am I back then?”

“Strong, far stronger than anyone can ever imagine, so much that even the ones who stand in the same level and are considered by the masses as your equals can just barely fight against you with all their powers combined, not to mention the massive, near infinite army following them, something that even just Xiaoyao can deal with”

The adult Su Xiaotian explains with pride in his eyes causing his current self to feel a yearning to attain such strength, sure, he is already talented enough as is now that he is even capable of crossing multiple major realms to fight enemies, but his cultivation realm is still lacking for him to be called someone who is truly invincible like that.

“In fact, I guess I am even undermining the achievement, but I can’t really find a proper word to describe our fight against those beings, so yeah, you’re stuck with a lousy imagery that can’t even compare to the actual thing that happened”

“Why don’t you just show me the memories of them then?” Su Xiaotian asks his adult self, prompting this soul fragment to just shake his head in refusal, not even waiting for him to ask why before he starts explaining.

“Those beings are incomprehensible ones, that even thinking of their name will make them aware of you, as well as everything that happened, happening, and will happen to you, including your previous, present, and future thoughts, you think given how much of a weak man carrying a massive treasure chest, or rather, a treasure trove that you are right now they won’t do their best to take your possession?”

“His own treasure makes a man guilty huh?” hearing the words from his adult self, Su Xiaotian couldn’t help but smile wryly as he mentioned this old passage that he often heard not only back in his time on Earth, but also here in the Sky Soul Star, proving that it is a universal truth that applies most likely not only to human, but to all sentient creature that want themselves to prosper.

Showing his nod of agreement, the adult Su Xiaotian notices that his hands are already fading away from sight, making him aware that the time for them to part ways for now is truly here, showing his hands towards his current self before asking one last question to him.

“Given that you don’t even ask something about the turning point, I guess you fully comprehended what is it that you need to do when that time comes…” the adult Su Xiaotian asks, earning a nod from his current self before he continues his words.

“Let me ask this before we part ways then… the Imperial Court, what conclusion did you reach?” the adult Su Xiaotian asks with nothing but curiosity on his face, deciding to support this current self of his no matter what decision he made.

“Is that even a question? You, we, I, Su Xiaotian, am the Heaven Devouring Demon Emperor, everyone who dares stand in my way, or worse, dare try to harm even just a single hair on the people I value, will come to regret even attempting of thinking so while they fade to dust under my might” Su Xiaotian said making his adult version laugh in satisfaction as he looks at the absolute, unbreakable determination raging beneath his seemingly calm eyes.
