Unable to Cultivate, I Can Only Raise Soul Pets

ched as the green caterpillar sniffed around curiously before its dull eyes suddenly lit up.

“Ssss!”

The caterpillar nodded at Mother Wang happily, and jumped into the pile of leaves.

“Look, this little guy is quite intelligent,” Mother Wang exclaimed.
“Is it trying to thank me? Does it really have such a high level of intelligence? It must be a special soul pet! Don’t you think so, Old Wang?”

“Maybe it was asking whether you wanted to eat together with it,” Father Wang replied sarcastically.

“Are you itching to get beaten today?” Mother Wang glared at him.

Father Wang quickly coughed.

Just as Mother Wang was about to punish him, Wang Che suddenly said, “I’m full.”

With that, he quietly walked back into the room.

“…This won’t do,” Father Wang shook his head while saying.
“A soul pet like a green caterpillar… is even worse than your Cuckoo Bird.
There’s no use in comforting him.

“Yesterday, he told me with a calm voice that it was okay…” Father Wang sighed.
“I knew it wasn’t that simple…

“He looked so dejected just now.
After all, a child’s first soul pet is something very important.
No one his age would be able to hide their emotions after going through something like that.

“Say, the two of us don’t have any talents at all, and we couldn’t even awaken our martial souls.
Seeing that our son’s first soul pet is so weak, I’m afraid that when the time comes, he’ll become exactly like us.”

Father Wang had a worried look on his face.
“If he wants to become a Contract Soul Master, he’ll only be able to achieve it in his dreams.
Even though he’s so outstanding in school…”

“Let nature take its course.” Mother Wang sighed as well.

She slowly turned around to look at the green caterpillar.
“Though this one isn’t all that bad.”

——

Unbeknownst to them, Wang Che hadn’t actually been dejected.
It was just that he couldn’t help feeling mentally exhausted after a night of pointless cultivation.

Furthermore, he hadn’t said much at the dining table because he had been lost in his thoughts .

He must have looked very upset to his parents.

Still, Wang Che couldn’t accept the fact that he hadn’t been able to draw Qi into his body after an entire night of cultivation, despite being a former Immortal Ascension Realm Cultivator.

It seemed that there really wasn’t a way to cultivate in this world.

This had to be related to this world’s rules.

There were powerful restrictions set in place between heaven and earth, after all.

More specifically, these entailed the idea that soul power wasn’t the same as spiritual energy, and so cannot simply be applied to just any cultivation technique or method.

Because of this, Wang Che couldn’t draw energy into his body to cultivate.

Initially, he had suspected that it was due to his lack of spiritual aptitude.

However, even without a spiritual root, it still didn’t make sense for him to be completely unable to draw any Qi into his body.

After several failed attempts, Wang Che decided to try the Demonic Path Qi Refinement Technique, an ability that could forcefully absorb heaven and earth’s spiritual Qi into his body.

However, even that didn’t work.
It was simply impossible for him to absorb any soul power at all.

By that point, he realised that there were certain rules created by the will of the Heavenly Dao in this world.

It was not going to be so simple.

If Wang Che had the strength of an Immortal Ascension Cultivator, these rules wouldn’t apply to him.

Unfortunately, after the last cosmic heavenly tribulation, everything had come crashing down.
He was considered fortunate enough to have been reborn with a wisp of his soul left.

In conclusion, he could not cultivate anymore.

After pondering for a while, Wang Che closed his eyes and calmed himself down.

It was fine if he could not cultivate.

Cultivating was merely a way of seeking the Dao.

The Great Dao of the cosmos was brilliant and endless.

None of the great cultivators had managed to reach the Immortal Ascension Realm by being mediocre.

Wang Che quickly regained his composure.

He had already encountered many setbacks before.
This was nothing.

“First, I’ll have to study this world in detail for a while, in order to gain a better understanding of it.
Since I can’t use cultivation techniques to draw in soul power, I’ll follow the rules of this world and work around them to create a technique suitable for cultivating soul power.
I’ll have to forget about Immortal Cultivation for now.”

Wang Che opened his eyes and reaffirmed himself.

He had all the experience and strength he needed.
Furthermore, he had even spent tens of thousands of years traveling the universe and witnessing the many civilizations that inhabited it.

Since he was already here, he may as well adapt to the place.

With this in mind, Wang Che rested for a while before washing up.
Then, he put on his clothes and examined himself in the mirror.

He found a teenager around 1.8 meters tall wearing white slacks and a light blue shirt looking back at him.

As Wang Che studied his own body, he noticed that his figure was quite slender and well-proportioned.
He had refreshingly short hair, and his facial features were distinct with just the right amount of facial hair.
His dark eyes had a deep glow…

The current Wang Che was definitely a handsome young man, with looks that could kill.

However, when he saw his reflection, Wang Che started to shake his head and frown slightly, saying to himself, “Not good enough.
Back then, I had been one of the best looking guys throughout the cultivation world.
This… is barely one percent of my charm.

“It’s barely presentable.”

Wang Che pushed open the door and walked out again.

If his memory served him right, he seemed to have invited a few classmates to hang out with him today.
