The Rebirth Of Ice Emperor
Chapter 2 - The First Step

“Dad! Daddy!? Look what I brought!”

“Lian’er? You better not run around like—WAA!? Remove far – away the poisonous scorpion from your hand!?” the black haired man shouted in panic.

“Eh? Why?”

“Stop asking and doing! Why do you always bring – strange animals home anyway?”

“But they approached me” replied the plain boy.

Mao Peng sighed seeing the behavior of the boy before him, it had already been three years since he decided to bring Bing Lian home and take care of her like a son himself. She grew into a charming and attractive figure due to her long beautiful white hair.

Lian is always told about her story when found by Mao Peng in Abyysal Forest before going to bed, Mao Peng is always trying to confirm to him that he is not Lian's biological parents. But the child doesn't seem to care much.

The most important thing in his life is now being able to live with a good foster father in a large ancient house not too far from where he was found. Bing Lian displayed incredible intelligence even when she was young.

All the science of giving Mao Peng absorbed him so quickly, that the man was confused to teach him what else to do. Fortunately Mao Peng has quite a collection of books, so even though he does not have peers to play with. Lian spent time with this collection of sheets of paper.

Until one day Bing Lian found a record of cultivation and asked Mao Peng his point, that's where his adoptive father tells about – great people who are able to store energy with Qi in their dantian and managed to do spectacular things like fly –, call thunder and rain, and succeed in doing spectacular things like flying, as well as even destroying the mountain using a single palm strike.

At first Lian was amazed to hear the explanation because she had never seen such an event, her imagination as a child grew wider. But when Mao Peng told the Cultivators to have a long life, there was doubt on Lian's face.

“I don't understand why people want to live long”

“Hmm? Of course, so you can always enjoy life with family”

“But....all will eventually die Dad, why prolong life if obviously – obviously you can not fight the will of the sky?”

Mao Peng laughed as he rubbed his adopted son's head, he was amazed at the depth of Lian's thought. Mao Peng said that the world is very wide, many unique and interesting things out there that are not even possible to imagine in the mind of Bing Lian.

There are some ordinary humans who assume that Cultivators are Gods because of their abilities, but they are wrong. The heroes are still creatures who receive the shade of the sky, as high as any practice of death must pick up.

“Lian’er, Cultivator also fight to protect many innocent lives”

“Really? Like heroes – heroes in stories?!”

“Huum”

“Ahh....if like that I also want to become a Cultivator, do you think I can do it?”

“If I can afford it, why don't you?”

Bing Lian began practicing cultivation under Mao Peng when she was three and a half years old. Because since the baby had been able to absorb Qi, Mao Peng had only given the Practice Manual to Lian.

One of the objects was named Spatial Ring, a magic tool with space-time magic ability so that it can store many items in it. Mao Peng made it as a rate increase reward for Lian.

“Lian’er there is nothing I can teach you, if you want to continue developing. You have to travel alone to be strong by meeting a lot of people out there”

“Like those who come to you often? Why is that Dad? Did I make a mistake?” Bing Lian stared back a little sad at feeling expelled.

“No, you have a special body. I can only direct the basic – only, if continued using my method can be dangerous. Look for a great Master or join a sect. Don't forget to send me a letter? Dad will always keep an eye on your progress”

After a full hug while saying a farewell sentence, Lian left Mao Peng's residence for the first time. The man looked at the figure of his adopted son getting away, “I want to leave this sword but...maybe it is too early for him”.

Many trials are also obstacles in the way of Lian's journey, ranging from meeting Demonic Beasts and being confronted by robbers. But fortunately all is still classified as insurmountable thanks to its ability, there is some new information for Bing Lian about the Huawai continent.

Among them the most terrible is the battle between Humans against the Demon nation, these dark creatures carried out a large attack – magnitude and made the position of – innocent people more cornered.

One of the victims was the small village where Lian first stopped, almost the entire population was slaughtered. Leaving around ten heads alone, without waiting for Lian to immediately advance helped.

“Daoist Magic Element Ice; Winter Breath”

Instantly the Demon's body around there froze then was crushed using a swift sword swing by Lian. The few remaining fled as soon as they saw him.

“Thank you for your help Young Hero.

The village chief led the villagers to prostrate to Lian but was immediately stopped, from whom Lian heard this now. A large evacuation is underway – Huawai community, especially those in the Middle Mainland to Seoris Kingdom.

The greatest Human defense kingdom for the sake of resisting the Demon attack, Bing Lian emphasized the name in her head. So that later can visit there, after escorting – villagers to the nearest safe city.

Bing Lian said goodbye without turning her head, focusing on continuing on the journey. Though the guard of – city guards are very worried to see a beautiful five-year-old boy single-handedly venturing in the – difficult times like now.

The Huawai continent has a variety of landforms surrounding it, with Thousand Southern Island in the South, Adamantine Peak in the North, Endless Savana in the West, and Bloody Swamp in the East. Bing Lian continued to explore all over the place hoping to find enlightenment in order to grow stronger.

Experiencing clashes with the Demon nation and meet various – kinds of people. From the jerk to the commendable. It was a great lesson in life that he learned through every step.

He always remembered Mao Peng's message about adding to the fighting experience, and indeed Lian made the word – the word as a benchmark. The battle against the Demon further honed his instinctive sharpness.

One of his acquaintances then told about the Akbar Fighting Competition in the Capital of the Seoris Kingdom, bird news said there were interesting prizes waiting for the champions.

Therefore Bing Lian decided to move quickly back to the Central Plains, curious how the atmosphere of the great Kingdom was. Moreover, they established a close relationship with the Sect which was predicted as the number one power in the entire Huawai Continent, the Prime Holy Lantern.

Lian really wanted to visit Mao Peng's condition, but there was a sense of shame in the way. It had been two years since the last time they met and he had only reached the Forging Qi level 5. Looks like the absence of a true teacher – rightly affects the pace of his practice.
