My Cultivation System

\'System, use the otherworldly communication talisman.\'

After getting ready, Henrick ordered the system to activate the talisman he got from the earlier trial.

\'Ding,

          Activating the otherworldly communication talisman. Please think about the receiver. As long as the receiver is alive, the Master can talk with them.

It didn\'t take much time to activate the talisman and without wasting any time, Henrick thought about his mother.

\'Ding,

          Identified the receiver as Adira Silverwind. Establishing the spiritual link between the master and the receiver.

\'Aargh\'

Just as Henrick was getting excited about seeing his mother once again, a slight pain appeared in his head; however, it lasted only for a second before disappearing without a trace.

\'Huh?\'

The moment Henrick opened his eyes, he was not in the cave; instead, he was at an endless pace, freely floating.

\'Where am I?\'

However, for some reason, Henrick was not anxious; instead, he looked around to see what was happening to him and wondered where he was.

"Henri"

All of a sudden, he heard a soft and familiar voice that made him freeze for a second before hurriedly looking in the direction of the voice.

"Mother."

The moment he saw his mother, Henrick tried to fly towards her.

However, he was unable to move in the endless space making him anxious.

"Don\'t try...you can\'t move from your place."

With a bitter smile on her face, the middle-aged woman said to her son.

Even though it was just a projection of a woman, she looked like she was really standing in person. 

As for her features, she had long black hair with a simple face; however, in that simple face, there was some kind of mystery that would attract both men and women.

She was wearing a simple white-coloured robe.

Overall, she looked like an immortal lady who is living as a mortal lady.

"Mother, how are you?"

Since his mother said that he can\'t move, then he stopped trying as he asked her with a face that was trying to withhold the tears that might come out any time.

\'Ding,

          While using the otherworldly communicating talisman, the master and the receiver can\'t move from their places.

Nevertheless, the system informed him about the reason why he was unable to move from his place.

"I am fine, Henry. Looks like you already joined the Blazing inferno sect. How is your cultivation life?"

Seeing that her son was not trying to rush towards her, Adira relaxed and replied to Henrick with a beautiful smile on her face.

At the same time, she asked him about his cultivation journey.

Currently, Henrick was wearing the uniform of the Blazing inferno sect and for the reason why he wore that uniform, it was because he didn\'t want his mother to get worried about him being hunted by his own sect and the rest of the world.

"Yes, mother. I am now the direct disciple of the outer sect of the sect. Moreover, I even entered into the energy transformation realm."

Soon, Henrick started saying all the good things that happened to him except for the inheritance building.

It was not that he didn\'t want to tell his mother about it, it was because he should not tell anyone about the inheritance building, even to his parents. That was the rule.

"Good."

Adira revealed a bright smile as she continued saying, "My son is destined to become a realm that no one could reach."

Just like any other parent, she said those words.

In the eyes of the parents, their children are destined to do great things.

So, Henrick rubbed the back of his head when he heard those words.

"Mother, I have some questions regarding father. Can I ask you those questions?"

They continued to talk about a few more things before Henrick asked his mother after hesitating for a moment.

"Of course, you can ask me, silly child."

Adira was already expecting Henrick to ask about his father. So, she was not surprised when he asked. Moreover, she gave permission to him.

"Does father belong to the human race?"

Mustering his courage, Henrick asked his mother while looking straight into her eyes.

\'...\'

However, Adira remained silent as she didn\'t answer him anything.

"Mother, I already know about it, mother. Because I awakened the \'ancient fire demon bloodline\'."

Seeing that his mother was not saying anything, Henrick directly came to the point.

While saying those words, Henrick started crying as he felt that his own mother was not telling him the truth about his father.

"Henry, don\'t cry."

Seeing her son cry, Adira felt her heartache and hurriedly asked Henrick to not cry.

"I will tell you the truth. I will tell you."

Since the time Henrick was born, Adira swore that she would not make her son cry for anything and now, she became one of the reasons for his son to cry.

So, he could not stop hiding the truth from Henrick anymore and decided to tell him.

"I just want to know one thing. Is my father an ancient fire demon?"

Henrick controlled his emotions as he wiped his tears before asking her mother.

\'Sorry, mother. Since you didn\'t want to answer my questions, I can only make you tell the truth forcibly.\'

However, inside his head, Henrick apologized to his mother for forcing her to tell the truth.

\'He is becoming more and more like his father. No wonder, he didn\'t make him help him all this time. He is good at adapting to the situations.\'

Soon, Adira felt something was wrong and noticed that she was tricked by his son; however, she was proud of how good he became in just a single year.

In this cultivation, Good men don\'t last for long. A cultivator should be ready to adapt to any situation. So, of course, he was proud for even tricking her, a person feared by many worlds.

"Your father is a pure human being."

Nevertheless, she replied to Henrick as she continued, "I am an ancient fire demon, not your father."
