My Journey to Godhood as a Caterpillar

Chapter 152: This treasure isn't for you (4)

Yun Jhin gauged his former reincarnation aura and narrowed his eyes as he felt that he truly got the qualities of a fortuned one!

The old master trapped in a bottle teaching the main character his overpowered techniques?

Yun Jhin chuckled inside, so this was one way a fortuned one could gain his constitution, up till now he only met with fortuned ones that already gained their constitutions, most ones we're born with the constitution that attracted innate luck from others, but it seemed you could also create fortuned ones in this way...

Yun Jhin's former reincarnation got closer to him as he looked into his eyes and told him:

"I guess you could be helpful, you must have reincarnated more times than me and you have more experience, I guess I could you call you senior but your current body situation makes it rather awkward for me."

Imagine calling your son that was only a day or so old senior... that was quite strange indeed.

Yun Jhin shook his head as he sent more soul messages explaining to him some things that he should look out for to shake off the pursuit, as Yun Jhin used his memories to remember which route the pursuit of the king's men came from, his former reincarnation was slowly digesting the information he had been given.

After a few seconds Yun Jhin sent him more information regarding the location where the troops could come, he also sent a detailed explanation telling him how he inferred that he was being pursued, things that started from the way he looked to the state of his clothes, Yun Jhin's former reincarnation and his current 'father' was wearing very ragged clothes and this was one of the reasons he almost died due to the cold of the tundra.

Yun Jhin's former reincarnation bought the explanation, after all, he could be considered still wet behind the ears regarding the reincarnation business at this point, he only had 10 or 20 reincarnations finished and none of them were truly successful! Yun Jhin's early days of reincarnation were the hardest but every failure tempered him and his willpower, fortunately, he only died to opponents around the same strength as his early on when he was a newbie or his soul could have been obliterated and taken out of the circle of reincarnation.

Yun Jhin's father picked him up as he started to walk through the eye of the storm towards the exit that Yun Jhin pointed out after a while of contemplating, Yun Jhin made it look like he needed some thinking time because if he gave responses too fast he would alert his former reincarnation, after all, while he was still behind the ears he was still quite jumpy considered the current situation, he would start to doubt Yun Jhin a little bit if he knew too much information, after all, what was the chance for a reincarnated person to reincarnate on the same continent on the same planet in the same region?

It was almost null!

In Yun Jhin's countless reincarnations there had never been such an instance!

They easily exited the tundra region as time passed one month went by, Yun Jhin baby body finally could talk and he didn't need to send his soul willpower to his former reincarnation anymore, after all, every time he used his soul in his current body there was a high chance his body would collapse, even for those relatively smaller things, the chance was just very low but it was still there!

Yun Jhin and his 'father' were currently talking about cultivation near a campfire, they already had left the pursuit of the Yatul king behind them and they also left the Yatul Kingdom well behind them.

They were currently on a human-dominated planet and it was full of kingdoms and people that were practically coming from the middle-ages, their cultivation knowledge was quite backward but there were a lot of untapped resources on the planet that could be used and Yun Jhin knew the location of some of the more important ones!

Yun Jhin looked into his 'father's' eyes as he told him:

"You already broke through to the 7th stage of the heavenly realm? It seems something changed about you."

His father chuckled as he said and shook his head with a sly smile on his face:

"It just that senior's guidance is a bit too good, you only taught me 3 things and I have been enlightened to such a stage!"

Yun Jhin knew his former reincarnation was trying to butter him up for more knowledge but if he gave him too much knowledge there was a chance he would be backstabbed, even though he was currently in baby form, now that the man ahead of him knew that there wasn't a newborn soul into this shell, he could easily strengthen himself to kill Yun Jhin!

While he would take pity on newborn souls who had no memories, Yun Jhin was practically an adult, even though he had a baby's body he had an adult mind and his former reincarnation could justify his action that way.

So he had to keep him on a tight leash regarding cultivation knowledge, Yun Jhin himself started to slowly cultivate but cultivation couldn't be rushed at the moment, the earthly realm placed emphasis on the body refining aspect by a bit, and his baby body wouldn't be able to withstand the energy from their current surroundings, he would either have to grow older or find a location with pure and gentle ki that could he absorb for cultivation.

Yun Jhin looked towards his 'father's' eyes again as he told him:

"I need to cultivate so I don't have to rely on you, do you know any locations with gentle ki that I can use?"

Yun Jhin knew of a few locations on the planet they were currently on but this was both a test to see if his former reincarnation wanted to help him genuinely and a way to mask his knowledge to let his former reincarnation guard go down a bit.

His former reincarnation thought for a little time and shook his head but then seemingly a lightbulb appeared above his head and he said:

"Actually at first I couldn't think of anything but now that I remember properly there was such a place with gentle ki, it isn't of much use for me as I'm already at the Heavenly realm but for you, with your current body it would be useful for cultivation, unluckily it was quite far away from where we are and it's also controlled by a local sect, it's also quite near the Yatul kingdom so if we are found by a patrol there is a chance a new pursuit team could be assembled to take us in and execute us."

Yun Jhin pondered for a short while before he told his 'father':

"There is no problem, I have a technique that could let us enter the sect without being found as well as easily escape from any patrols of the kingdom, here let me send it to your soul."

Yun Jhin let out a small soul willpower wave come from his head as it inserted itself into his former reincarnation's, then his 'father's' eyes started to shine as he bowed to Yun Jhin and told him:

"Even though I don't like calling you senior you really are something else!"

Yun Jhin gave him the first part of his patented stealth technique, he didn't give him the version which he improved using Hao Tian's bloodline experiences as he couldn't use it anyways, also if he showed too much of a high knowledge there was a chance his former reincarnations greed would get triggered and he would try to absorb his soul thinking that his soul was still at the recovering stage, if he tried to assimilate his soul at this point, his vessel would die but he would be able to annihilate his former reincarnation's soul as well, but that meant the failure of the test.

Yun Jhin knew that he would fail if his vessel was destroyed, just like last time when his 'mother' severed his heart and ate it, his vessel was destroyed and he was sent back to retake the test in another form.

Yun Jhin had his 'father' to practice the stealth technique and with his current fortuned constitution which was boosting his natural talent by quite a lot, he learned it under 2 days, after that they started to walk back the same way they went through.

Food was still a problem but not very much, they already made some supplies when they left the tundra as animals and multiple types of wild fruits could be found after one exited the tundra, so going back through it was easier.

Yun Jhin's former reincarnation was also stronger so he could keep Yun Jhin's baby body-safe enough through the cold, after all, even a speck of his dead mother's ki was able to keep him alive through the tundra, fortunately, they didn't encounter any blizzards during their first travel.

But now they weren't as lucky anymore, as they left the eye of the storm, they realized that compared to before temperature was way lower than before. Sharp winds were howling in the tundra as a strong blizzard was created, howls of cultivation beasts could be heard coming from the once silent tundra.

Yun Jhin could feel that the blizzard had awakened the animals that liked this type of environment and frowned, they took a bad time to come back, unfortunately, Yun Jhin didn't know about this, after all, he never came back to the Yatul kingdom after he left in his former life, he only went forward and he didn't even have time to come for revenge, at some point he died on the planet trying to get one of the special resources and had to reincarnate.

So he wasn't aware of the events that were unfolding in this tundra after he left it behind.

Yun Jhin cursed his hastiness as he told his former reincarnation back away into the eye of the storm where they would be safe, the location's heat was something that the beasts in this location who awoke due to the cold wouldn't like at all.

Suddenly the earth started shaking as a furry paw grabbed onto his former reincarnations right leg and dragged him down into the ground along with Yun Jhin who was strapped to his back using a baby basket made from bamboo and flexible wood.
