Peak Reversal

"Report! Report! I have something urgent to report!" an old man screamed as he entered a huge hall where many elderly people were sitting cross legged and only one person was sitting on a throne. 

"Elder Tu, what's all the commotion you're causing in the Elders Hall! Show some respect!" angrily said one of the elders sitting cross legged. The old man who'd rushed in while making noise didn't even bother with the elder shouting at him and faced the middle aged man sitting on the throne. 

"Patriarch! I have something to report! Young Master Song Haoyu's Life Flame has rekindled! He's still alive!" said the old man. 

"What?! Are you serious?! Take me there this instant! I want to see it with my own two eyes. Is my son really still alive?!" exclaimed the Patriarch. 

…

"Song Haoyu greets master."

Jace looked at the young man carefully. Haoyu had a head full of white hair, sharp eyebrows, thin red lips and an overall handsome appearance. He had a cold air around him like an aloof and nonchalant person. 

"Get up. I never expected that you'd be a Chinese person. Just where am I exactly?" said Jace. 

"Chinese?...If Master wants to know where you are and how this world works, I'll be happy to explain. This world is called the Laven World and is…" Haoyu started to explain everything about the Laven World. 

It turned out that this world was similar or exactly the same as the worlds explained in xianxia and wuxia novels. Yes, this was a Cultivation World where people cultivated Immortality or Longevity. 

A world where demons, ghosts, ghouls, Cultivators, dragons and phoenixes and all types of strange things existed. And Haoyu was a cultivator.

Cultivation in this world was separated into seven realms from the weakest to the strongest, the strongest who are said to have enough power to move mountains and split the seas, pluck the stars and destroy the world. The cultivation realms went as followes;

Body Refining, Meridians Strengthening, Qi Condensing, Core Forming, Nascent Soul, Celestial and finally Saint Realms. 

Haoyu was currently an ordinary person without any cultivation but he wasn't too worried about his strength. 

"Master…"

"Call me Jace."

"Jace… let's first test your aptitude for cultivation so that I can choose the best cultivation technique for you." said Haoyu as a black ring suddenly appeared on his pinky finger. A small transparent orb then appeared in his hand. Jace knew what that ring was after he saw Haoyu pull out an item from thin air.

'Storage Ring.'

"Mas… Jace, please pour a drop of your blood on this aptitude testing ball.' said Haoyu as he gave Jace a small knife. Jace then made a small cut, enough for a few blood drops that then dripped on the small ball.

When the blood fell on the transparent small ball, it didn't have a reaction for a very long time and only wrote a few words. Haoyu then read the words inside the ball. 

'No Spiritual Root, no Special Physique, no Soul Power. No Talent for Cultivation'

'Bloodline: An unknown and mysterious bloodline is in an unawakened state. Please awaken it for further information.'

Jace and Haoyu looked at the words on the ball then looked at each other. 

"Don't worry Jace, there exists many reality bending treasures in the cultivation world. I'm sure we'll find a treasure that can alter your talent or a treasure that directly raises your cultivation realm by leaps and bounds even if you're an ordinary person."

"Okay."

"Jace, please give me some time to increase my strength before we leave. I promise I won't take long." 

"Okay."

Haoyu immediately sat cross legged and a bunch of treasures of the ice attribute were placed around him, causing the temperature inside the cave to drop drastically. The ground turned into ice in just a few seconds. 

Words written in an unknown language then floated around Haoyu. Haoyu then made a few hand signs and all the treasures around him broke down and turned into white dust. This white dust then covered Haoyu from head to toe and when the floating words entered his body, the white powder also drilled into his body. 

The white powder didn't just drill into his body, it drilled all the way into his bones where it covered the bones while some of the power drilled into his bone marrow. The white powder then turned into the same words that were floating around Haoyu not long ago. 

In the cave, Haoyu's body had turned into an ice sculptor but Jace could feel Haoyu's strength increasing at a fast pace. Jace waited for a few hours before there was movement from Haoyu again. 

"HA!"

Haoyu screamed, at the same time released an outburst of energy that froze everything it touched and that included Jace. Fortunately, Jace had his Peak Reversal Ability so the cold energy was solved before it could cause any serious damage to him.

Haoyu opened his eyes only to see that the cave had turned into an ice cellar and not just inside the cave but even outside. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that nothing had happened to Jace. Haoyu now had a snowflake symbol between his eyebrows and his demeanour was even colder like an emotionless being. 

"How was your cultivation? Did you gain a lot?" asked Jace. 

"I'm now at the peak stage of the Qi Condensing Realm and have successfully laid my foundation. The Frost Scripture is truly magical! To think I'd be this strong when I've only just laid my foundation."

"Laid your foundation? How strong are you exactly?"

"The first three cultivation realms are considered laying the foundation since they are the foundation upon which cultivation is built. As for how strong I am, I think if I go all out, I can take on a peak Nascent Soul expert."

"So powerful! Alright, let's get out of here. This place is boring."

"Okay."

…

Haoyu and Jace travelled the forest for an entire month until they finally reached the periphery of it. They both didn't look tired because Jace would use Peak Reversal on both of them. He found out while experimenting that he could use Peak Reversal to always be in peak condition so no matter how tired he was, one Peak Reversal could solve all his problems. 

He tried using it on Haoyu and it actually worked. Both of them were pleasantly surprised by this discovery. And this experiment led to his next discovery, the system notification he'd received when using Peak Reversal for the first time on Haoyu was because previously, Haoyu had an extremely high cultivation base so he couldn't return him to that peak strength, which was why he received the notification that he was weak.

"Finally we're out of that hell hole. I thought we'd be stuck there for months!" said Jace. 

"Hey Jace, I think I see a human settlement a hundred kilometres away. Should we head there or what?"

"Holy Shit! What fucking kind of eyes do you have to see something a hundred kilometres away?! And what do you mean should we head there, of course we're going there! Where else should we fucking go! Quickly give me a piggyback ride so we can get there faster. With me around, forget about resting!"
