"Damn ! , that man is really brutal !!". Amon complained loudly as he walked towards his house with grievance written all over his face.

He was currently topless and long lines of sweat was running down from his forehead to his chest. His long black was wet and was sticking to the forehead.

His long black trousers were covered with smudges of dirt and his long black boots had dust and grim all over it.

After his progress to the body refining realm in the morning , he proceeded to wash the excreted black substance off his body and was them summoned by the grandmaster to the training ground .

In the name of consolidating his newly promoted cultivation , the grandmaster had to subject his to several degrees of torturous methods.

Huge iron balls smashed into his body , he was soaked in a hot herbal liquid , he was ordered to punch a wooden puppet a thousand times.

Amon doubted whether an average first layer body refining realm cultivator would have actually survived those horrible means of consolidating cultivation without losing a layer of skin.

Looking at the distant house that was covered in hazzy moonlight , Amon smiled slightly and his bearing became relaxed and carefree.

There was no place like home ! .

Jumping over the wooden fence , Amon followed the normal route to the house and quickly came to the entrance only to see his grandfather sitting at his usual spot under the green Vine tree and was swinging his wine gourd while muttering incoherent words.

Sensing that someone had entered the vicinity , his grandfather looked at the intruder with turbid eyes and then smiled , showing his yellow teeth.

"Well , if this is not my family genius ". The grandfather chuckled softly and said while smacking his lips with an intoxicated expression .

"Old man , have some dignity , why are you almost laying down at the entrance without any sense of shame ". Amon looked at his almost drunk grandfather with disdain.

His grandfather had several good qualities but he just had to be a wine lover. His different wine collections could not be counted with one hand and he will rather sell all his possessions to make sure that he drinks.

Amon often wondered where the strange wines come from and when he questions his grandfather , he would say.

"A wine lover will always have his ways of getting new wines ".

"Since my family produced a genius with fifthy five meridian energy points , it's something worth celebrating ". The grandfather pronounced the word 'Fifthy five ' in a teasing tone and looked at Amon with a meaningful smile.

"Could he have discovered the actual meridian energy points that I opened ?". Amon thought inwardly although his outward expression was still calm without any flutuations.

His grandfather was extremely mysterious and Amon have always suspected him to be a formidable cultivator although he was just a mortal on the surface.

"It's just fifthy five ". Amon shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly before he proceeded to sit down on one of the wooden chairs under the tree.

"Perhaps to you , it might not be much but to others , it's a lifetime opportunity ". The grandfather shook his head slightly and then looked at the distant sky with a lost expression on his face.

"Old man, how many meridian energy points did you open ?". Amon asked curiously.

"What meridian energy points ! , am just a mortal without any cultivation ". The grandfather stroked his beards slowly and said.

"If I had your talent , I wouldn't be an ordinary yeast farmer ".

Hearing the statement of his grandfather, Amon rolled his eyes slightly.

"Yeah , yeah , you are really an ordinary yeast farmer ". Amon did not believe his grandfather a bit.

"Care for a drink ?". His grandfather suddenly extended his wind gourd towards the direction of Amon.

Amon was greatly suprised at the gesture of his grandfather because he knew how stingy the old man was with wine. He never allowed Amon to drink because he said that he was too young to do so.

"Old man , hope there is no catch ". Amon looked at his grandfather suspiciously before collecting the wine gourd from him.

"Do I look like that kind of person ?". His grandfather glared at Amon .

"Am not stingy when it comes to my family ".

The mouth of Amon twitched slightly before he drank from the wine gourd.

Hot liquid with a slight bitter taste gushed down his throat and Amon grimaced slightly before he sensed a hot energy that was quickly spreading through his whole body and his sight became a bit blur.

"This wine is quite strong ". Amon hiccupped before passing the wind gourd back.

"Already drunk ". His grandfather looked at him with a teasing expression .

"You underestimate me too much ". Amon scoffed slightly before he circulated the spiritual energy in his body and the effect of the wine reduced .

The hot energy in his stomach was quickly tempering and before long , the body of Amon shook and a cracking sound echoed from his body.

"Second layer of the body refining realm ! ". Amon was shocked and looked at the wind gourd with a scorching gaze.

"Don't even think about it ". His grandfather quickly hid the wine gourd with speed.

"Old man, you are really mysterious ". Amon looked at his grandfather and said.

Just a slip of wine advanced his cultivation by a level. Can an ordinary yeast farmer be in possession of such a wine .

The old man smiled slightly and did not say anything.

The whole environment suddenly descended into absolute silence and only the chirping of insects and the whistling of winds could be heard.

Amon who was hugging his body with his two hands looked at his and asked.

"Grandfather, how about my parents ?".

The grandfather who was happily drinking from his wine gourd paused in his movement and his expression faltered.

He looked at Amon's face for a while before he sighed and said .

"Your parents are still alive but they will not be back for a very long time ".

The light in the eyes of Amon flickered slightly before he clenched his fists tightly and said.

"Why did they have to leave without a word ". Amon muttered incoherently amidst choked sobs.

He only had vague memories of his parents when he was small but they suddenly disappeared with a word.

As a young child , he yearned for the love of his parents but unfortunately , he could not experience that.

He was extremely intelligent right from young age and he was sensible enough not to disturb his grandfather on the issue of his parents.

"Son ". The grandfather sighed gently and got up from his sitting position. He placed his hand on the shoulder of Amon and said gently.

"I know that you might be angry at your parents because of their abrupt disappearance but trust me , their disappearance was to ensure your safe.

When you become strong enough , you understand their reason for leaving you ".

Amon quickly recollected himself and his turblent emotions became very calm again .

"Don't worry , I understand ". Amon nodded and said indifferently. His next goal was to become strong enough and look for his parents.

The whole environment descended into silence again before his grandfather suddenly asked.

"What will you do if the whole world is suddenly against you ? ".

Amon was taken back by the nature of the strange question before he looked at his grandfather with a confused expression.

"Why will the whole world be against me ?". He asked.

His grandfather looked at him for a while before he sighed and started to walk away with unsteady steps .

"All the beings born in this world have their own path. Some are destined for greatness while some are meant to be mediocre .

While some dominate the world , some conquer it. Another set protect the world and while some fight against the world .

If such day ever comes , I hope that you will never pull your punches because in this world, you only have yourself , any other person is an enemy ". The figure of his grandfather vanished and Amon was still very confused about the statement of his grandfather.

His words were simply too profound for him to understand now.

His eyes suddenly flashed with a hue of golden purple light and a faint golden sigil appeared on his forehead .

A supreme transcendental aura that overlooked all beings , eternal and imperishable permeated from his body.

Amon seemed to have changed into another person completely .

"If the whole world is ever against me , I will end the whole ". Amon said in a cold emotionless voice because the faint sigil sign disappeared and Amon regained his clarity.

"What happened ?". Amon muttered slowly as he felt that he suddenly changed into another person and the feelings of being superior and viewing other lives as ants greatly frightened him

"Maybe, it's just an illusion ". He shook his head slowly and vanished into the house.
