Aste Continent,

Blackcloud City.

Situ Family Ancestral Tomb,

"Ahh.. It feels so great to have a body. "

Moans were heard from coffin of the great ancestor of Situ Family. Caretaker Rin was scared silly by the sounds as she backed against wall with confusion plus despair vividly displayed on her face. Before her eyes the coffin lid was blown away and a withered hand with barely any skin remaining on it clutched on edge on the coffin.

A few seconds passed but nothing else happened. Caretaker Rin who was brink of insanity found this situation pretty disturbing,

'Shouldn't the ghost come out now?'

As responding to her, the body finally stood up as withered old man with white silk clothes come out of the coffin scratching his head which was full of white hairs which somehow managed to reach his sunken shoulders. He looked around to find the lady on brink of pissing herself and said,

"khmm... h..hello helloo."

He found that lady was confused, he said,

"Never seen old man coming out of coffin, huh?"

Seeing the confusion on lady's face now transforming into fear, he quickly started a new topic with gentle tone,

"Who are you child?"

He mused to himself,

'This was also something I always wanted to say but due to my age back then I never got chance to say it, huh huh finally dream coming true.'

Caretaker Rin was flabbergasted. She didn't know what to do. She was taking care of this tomb for last three years. She knew the Great Ancestor Lan was placed here to continue the eternal rest. All rest and everything sounds good but he was clearly dead when placed here.

Now at first the Great Ancestor come back to life and then start talking incoherent things. She didn't know whether to be happy to see her so called 'Death Partner' alive or cry to see dead resurrected and calling her child, still she mustered all courage and spoke,

"Ancestor Lan, this one is your Death Partner."

Now Ancestor Lan was confused,

" Death partner?"

'What the fuck is that? Don't tell me this body is so much withered because of her, damn.. people here seem to have some cruel fetish.'

On the other hand Caretaker Rin wondered,

' Isn't this the common knowledge, why Ancestor is asking this?'

Still she didn't dare to refute him so he replied honestly.

"Ancestor Lan, I am obliged to serve you till death. I take care of the tomb.. yo..your tomb. And will stay here till I die."

Still the thoughts in her mind were clearly displayed on her face.

Ancestor Lan was now stroking his newfound beard while contemplating,

'Wow, never thought stroking beard was this fun. Damn me, watching too many strange things have corroded my pure mind. Still this world seems to be little weird.'

So after seeing the face of his new free servant he continued,

"Don't worry I am just little confused after resurrection. The god gave me new life but he was short on time so I think he jumbled the memories, so just help the god to complete his duty and explain me who am I, where am I?"

And he straightened his back to look more dignified. Caretaker Rin was a young lady who lived her life in remote village and was afraid of ghost, so it was given that she believed in God, she was pretty much convinced and to fulfill god's work.. This was one of the great opportunities few get. And when she saw dignified posture of Ancestor she bowed and started explaining,

"Ancestor, this place is Situ family's Ancestral Tomb where all the honored clansmen rest in their afterlife. Everyone is assigned room in tomb along with Death Partner who accompanies them."

She looked toward Ancestor Lan through corner of her eye and saw he was still anticipating more she added,

"Situ family is one of the five families which rule the Blackcloud City. Other families are Kai Family, Cheng Family, Jiang Family, Hai Family. Blackcloud city is one of cities in Long Empire which is ruled by Long family. Long empire is strongest empire which rules Southern Aste Continent. There are three more Royal families in Aste Continent which are Tian family, Reku Family, Song Family which respectively rules North, East and West part of Aste continent. There are other continents outside of Aste continent but this little one doesn't know about them."

She looked little guilty but small signs of pride could be seen in her eyes. She had read about this information from the books since there was nothing to do here. So her knowledge was much more than ordinary people.

Seeing that she stopped explaining Ancestor Lan figured out that he doesn't need the information on continent scale. Aste continent and what not, considering what he faced, he is ready to flip he world with snap of finger, yes, keyword is READY. World will not be flipped but he is ready. It is figure of speech. Still to let her continue, he quickly praised,

"Hmm.. You are pretty knowledgeable. Good. Tell me more about situation in Blackcloud City in detail. About all families and our family."

" Blackcloud City is most wealthy city in Long empire after Royal City. It hosts only port in Aste empire hence all the sea products are mainly supplied through here. All five family used to govern it equally until last three years."

After saying this she seems to be troubled about something but checking look on Ancestor's face she continued,

"But when the family failed to suppress the news of your death, other families started pressuring our family. Finally when the 6th generation Ancestor of Hai family, Hai Delu broke through Martial King State everything started crumbling. Hai Family now controls most of profit of port and other three families are now in all good terms with Hai family. Our family had long feud with Hai family due to our 6th generation Ancestor; Situ Fang married the woman Hai delu loved. I don't know the detail but we are on bad terms with Hai family. So we are being constantly isolated. If not for our Ancestor Situ Fang being Level 9 Martial General, we would have been kicked out of BlackCloud City."

During this time she noticed jovial expression on ancestor's face, so she curiously studied his face. He seemed to be mumbling something so she stopped.

Ancestor Lan was indeed Happy. He was happy that he somehow ended up in cultivation world.

'Martial General, Martial King, Martial fuck.. isn't this cool. Who would have thought after dying in hands of those fuckers I got lucky break and stranded here. Ha Ha! Now I will cultivate like crazy and will return to earth and fuck them over, over and over again; Sheesh, its figure of speech.'

' Ha Ha Ha. Wait! Before going back I will spread my legend throughout this Cultivation World. But to think of it when I died and my soul travelled here, I was given choice of occupying the dying youth on riverbank somewhere, which must be same like those waste or something in family. Shit! I was bored of reading those types of clichés, it was smart of great me that, at that time I ran away from there and started searching for strongest thing which was available to possess. I was not able to see anything but I think I somehow managed to possess strong human using only my blue gut feeling. Blue gut! Yes! Blue is the keyword. Blue signifies senses, red one danger, black one bitches. Blue and red I developed during my golden period of 8th grade. Black one I got when my crush got boyfriend. Shit, it still hurts.'

After noticing that the lady was watching him, he cleared his throat and said,

"You said I died? How long was I dead and why I died, you know anything about that?"

Caretaker Rin was aware of memory loss of Ancestor so she quickly replied,

"Ancestor you passed away while breaking through Martial Supreme State to Demigod State three years before. "

She explained with zeal. He didn't know whether she was proud of his death or being in Supreme State. After listening this Ancestor Lan was worried,

'It seems it took three years for me to assimilate my soul with this skeleton. It seems he was barely alive at that time. But I don't know if this body's power is gone or still there. Fuck if I don't have any cultivation? With this old body I will cry myself to death.'

So he quickly asked,

"Young Lady, do you know any method to measure cultivation base?"

Internally Ancestor Lan was very anxious if he turn out to be without cultivation, it will be a nightmare,

'So many enemies, I will be like fish on chopping board; A skinny fish. Skinny is the keyword. And even if he somehow hides from enemies, a passing gust and common cold will nail him to the grave. Now the weak boy at shore sure looks like good choice'

By the look of quick enlightenment on her face, the gossipy girl seems to have guessed the key point. She quickly produced measuring stone which was given to her by Situ Family. She was given cultivation manual when she started her life as Death Partner to prolong her life. After grabbing the measuring stone in her hand she poured her Qi in it and the stone glowed in two colors, she explained,

"When I started as Death Partner I was given manual and these two stones to start cultivation. The realm stone shows each realm, single Color represent Martial Apprentice, each increase in color correspond to Martial Warrior, Martial Commander, Martial General, Martial King, Martial Emperor, Martial Supreme, Demigod then God state. Other people don't know much about after Martial Emperor but I read about it in scrolls provided by Library. There is other stone which is used for indicating levels in each stage but the stone varies for each Cultivation realm. I have realm stone and one for Martial Warrior stage only."

She sneakily added,

" Because I reached Martial Warrior stage in only three years."

She was little proud when she explained this and puffed her flat chest a little, seemingly she forgot her previous worry about Ancestor's cultivation. Ancestor Lan was not that patient to praise her now, so he quickly snatched and tried pouring Qi from his body in the stone. He felt like his balls were in his throat and can pop out anytime soon. After concentrating for a while he felt strands of some power rushing from his body towards his hand, he slowly tried to guide the strands of that power-Qi into the stone bit by bit. When first strand entered the stone it quickly glowed with seven different colors, eighth color was flickering in and out. Ancestor Lan was overjoyed and started laughing boisterously.

" Ha ha ha, My gamble paid out! Ha Ha! Now this world is worthy of witnessing Legend of great me Lamb..no it was Lan,"

He quickly stole a glance at girl and corrected

"Great me, Ancestor Lan. Ha Ha Ha."

As smart as he was he quickly gathered his wits and stationed his balls properly and laughingly praised the Lady who was as happy as him,

"Not bad Young one, you reached Martial Warrior Stage in only three years. Good. Very Good. Don't worry about anything now you are under my wing, I will take care of you from now on."

Now he was enjoying posturing.

'My Blue gut was never wrong except when …' he tried to remember, 'except … ..fuck, leave it I don't remember !'

Caretaker Rin was overjoyed and quickly kowtowed,

"This little one is grateful for Ancestor's Kindness."

Ancestor Lan still didn't know about many things as

What is his age and which generation ancestor he was and many things in current family? Now he got power and then he has a family. He felt like Mafia Boss. He wanted to know more about them'

"Now tell me which generations Ancestor I am and who is current head of the family?"

Caretaker Rin quickly explained,

"Ancestor, you are Third Generation Ancestor and Current Family Head is Situ Xi of 7th generation."

And after that she quickly added,

"Ancestor my name is Situ Rin, I am of the 9th generation Situ branch family. I am only cultivator in my branch who reached Martial Warrior state at age of 23 years. Currently I am Martial Warrior Level 3. And I am only 24 year old."

Last lines were clearly said with puffed flat chest.

After listening to the promotional speech, Ancestor Lan was also feeling little proud, but of himself,

'Hu hu hu, 3rd generation means.. calculating age increased by cultivation and all ..lets round it off to thousands. Yes, good. I am probably aged in thousands. Fucking cool. And on top of that I am an Ancestor; I can pretty much curse everyone now.'

He patted head of the proud chick in front of her with genuine smile, thinking

'She did not forget to promote her' which made the innocent lady overjoyed and said,

"Let's head to family building now, if you see anyone important just report to me quickly. Don't let anyone notice that I don't remember anything."

He also added incentives,

"If anyone bullies you report to me, I will fuck them over"

Situ Rin was little startled by Ancestor's crude language but she quickly dismissed it as generation gap considering the incentive and nodded furiously.
