Cheat Cultivator's Ascension

Seeing that he is out in a nothingness like this, Su Xiaotian decided that he should go ahead and start recalling all the memories he retrieved from when he awakened them during its retrieval from a while back, trying to see whether there is information in that timeline that he can use to his advantage here.

"Most of these things are already useless, seeing that mom, grandma, and grandmother are safe on my side and all… besides, the Extreme Martial Sect failed to hinder my travel back when they just expelled me away from the sect" recalling the things that happened in the previous timeline made him feel really angered of the acts of the Extreme Martial Sect.

In the place he is currently standing on, who would not? After all, not only do they try all sorts of ways to either control or dispatch him, including the fact that he was gravely injured by them during his exile from the Extreme Martial Sect causing him to miss the opportunity to meet with Hua Xian'er an event that eventually caused him to meet with the head figures of the Heavenly Secret Tower way too late than when he met them in this current timeline.

"Now the most important thing is the Imperial Court, that is the most significant enemy that I will face after the Extreme Martial Sect, and given their greedy nature and how they are faring during these times, I highly doubt that I won't cross swords with them" Su Xiaotian thought as he recalls how arrogant and ruthless the ways of that entire force is, even going as far as opting to set up a trap with numerous powerful cultivator just to catch and control him with the method left behind by none other than Wu Xiaolong, someone he deems not worthy of sharing the same blood with.

'With my current backing though, as well as how the Heaven's Eye operation seems to root itself deeply even within the Central Province as well, I doubt that they can even surprise us this time' Su Xiaotian thought as he recalled the last data he had received from Hua Xian'er's father and his father-in-law, Hua Jingxian, a data showing that they are just a few percent away to complete the project given that there are only a few people left who had yet to fall into the temptation of extreme convenience that the device they made provides.

'I just need to keep on improving and let the Heavenly Secret Tower deal with all the information we are going to receive with this operation, I doubt Uncle Jingxian will not take some moves if he saw openings within the Imperial Court' knowing that the imperial court is also a lifelong enemy of the Heavenly Secret Tower, Su Xiaotian concludes as he more than anyone else other than the old men of this force knows just what sort of things the Imperial Court does to geniuses that threatens their own standing in the continent.

After this conclusion, he decided to work around the minor details for later as he felt like he detected some changes within this illusion, making him stand up and use his senses to detect the surroundings once again in hopes of seeing what made those changes and what changes they brought.

Observing the place he let himself be in currently, Su Xiaotian starts feeling a bit odd, seeing that there's not even a single speck of dust or moving air within this blank white space, making him wonder just how is it that the Dao Resonating Rock creates this kind of place for him.

'Is the ability of that rock to create illusions so weak that I broke it?' thinking about this fact, the immortal-like young man smiles in refusal, thinking that if this Dao Resonating Rock is powerful enough to simulate his body, then it should be possible for it to also simulate a true environment as well, right? After all, even his Auntie Jianxue mentioned to them that this illusion is something that only with those high enough comprehension of the Dao can break through in such a short amount of time, and one integral part of a powerful illusion is its indistinctness with reality itself.

'Just what is it then that made this illusion like this?' he thought to himself as he roamed around the vast emptiness laid bare in front of him, his senses still failing to pick up anything other than his own body.

"Because this is no longer just some sort of normal illusion, this is a realm of mind, more exactly, your own realm of mind that you entered" out of nowhere, Su Xiaotian heard a familiar voice from somewhere in this place, the voice cannot be even more familiar to him given that this masculine voice is something that he hears every single day, only this one is a tad bit deeper than what he usually hears.

As he spreads his senses as much as he can once more, he sees who it is that is using his voice in that kind of tone, and the appearance of that person truly surprises him.

With a body build of the same type as him however having a bit larger and wider frame than him, Su Xiaotian saw a man who appeared to be in his late twenties wearing the same clothing as him, his frame making him look like an unbreakable pillar that can hold even the very heavens itself.

His jet-black hair is fairly long, reaching all the way down his lower back, something normal for male cultivators like them, some of the said hair is tied into the usual side braids that his family, often his mother and maternal grandmother, is always doing on his own hair.

Similar to his mother's face, this man also bears a similar, shaped face as hers, only his appears to be more oval and sharper in features, resembling him more than his mother do, the sharp, sword-like eyebrows above the eyes, the eyes baring the same sharpness despite its still youthful, vigorous and contrastingly experienced glow, something that can rarely be seen with young men like him.

What is the most surprising part to Su Xiaotian though is the fact that this person bears uncanny similarities to him as if he is looking towards himself, the only difference between their mature and young appearance is the fact that the air around them, the one coming from him that of a confidence of someone who knows his talent well, that of someone who knows that he can triumph all of the tides being sent to him should he work more than just hard enough.

On the other hand, the man in front of him is showing the very same confidence as him, yet the source of it appears to be completely different, stemming from the fact that he already had seen all that existence had to offer, that he already goes past all the hurdles that the heavens and even the things beyond that can send to him, a confidence stemming from the fact that he had already stepped into the throne of the absolute that no one can even dream about.
