Reincarnated With A System In A Cultivation World

[This is a bonus chapter dedicated to Ingris. Thank you for the gift. Words cannot begin to describe how happy I am.]

​ "Who the hell are you? Now don't give me the same answer as last time. I need a proper answer. I bought you even though I did not know what you truly are. Are you like a mythical beast? A phoenix, qilin, or something?" I asked.

"It looks like you know a lot about the mythical beasts. But I am not sure what I am myself. I am but a child that has just been born. When I first came into consciousness, all that I know is that you were the one that had some feeling of protecting me, so I formed a contract with you." the voice said.

"You do not know what you are? What kind of answer is that? You are talking like an old man and you call yourself a child that has just been born? Is there any logic to that?" I asked.

"These are the instincts that I was born with. In a few months, I will be able to break free of this shell and grow into my true form. Maybe then, I will know what I am. I have fragments of memories, but they don't seem like they are mine. They let me understand the world. That is how I knew about the spirit sea that you had released." the voice said.

"Yes. The spirit sea. What is that?" I asked.

"I am not so sure myself. All I know is that it is very important for later. At later stages of cultivation, it becomes very important. That is what I have learnt." he said.

"Alright. This is all fine. But this has gone for too long. What should I even call you?" I asked. Thinking of him as a mysterious voice and not tying him to a name felt weird, especially when he gave me advice that was very, very useful.

"I am but a new born. You have brought me into this world. Why don't I take up your surname? I will be Liu Man." the voice said.

"Liu Man. That seems like a good name. Then why the hell not. Liu Man. You are going to be one of my closest confidants, that much is clear. You can literally hear everything that I can think." I shook my head.

"Not everything that you think. Only those that you wish for someone to be known. Your closest thoughts are private. But I can piggy back on your senses, and see what you see, hear what you hear." Liu Man said.

"Well, this is a good talk, but I need to do something now. I only have like three hours and I already spent a few minutes here. I need to find a good agility skill for myself." I said as I walked around the library.

The names of the books made me chuckle. All of a sudden, Trampling Mountains and Tumbling Seas became a common name. Literally, every single one of the names on these skill books had some weird twist.

"Ah well. I did get reincarnated with a system in a cultivation world. I can't really complain." I chuckled.

[Alright guys, this was a good one. You have to appreciate this one line. I mean, I am here bursting out laughing at this. Well then, I won't disturb you any longer. Keep reading, and I hope that you enjoy it!]

"Hmmm. All of these are attacking books. Some of them are defensive. I have all this covered up. I need to take care of only the agility part. Where the hell is the agility section?" I wandered to the other side of the room.

"System. Can you help me weed out the bad ones and bring the good ones for me?" I asked.

"[Error] System has not yet unlocked that functionality. System can only give suggestions and friendly boosts to the Host. Upgrade system to unlock more features." the system said.

"That will take forever. Looks like that will take some time to unlock. But I should learn how to do some things on my own, and not rely on the system." I realized.

"What is this system. This is a weird and very powerful being to me. I can sense a very powerful presence from it." I suddenly heard Liu Man say.

"Oh right! You are here. You are listening to everything that I say. Well, the system is the one part of my life that I cannot explain at all. Let us just say that I was lucky as heck to get it, but unlucky as well, for me to get forced all the way here. But it ain't so bad here. I am just drifting off. I need to focus on getting that agility skill first." I put all the other thoughts aside and started looking at the agility skill section caregfully.

All the books seemed normal to me. They were clearly very popular, since they were worn out. But at the corner of the book shelves, the books were barely untouched. All of them except for one book. And this book just had to have the black color to make it seem the slightest bit more ominous.

"All the cliches in the world." I shook my head as I picked up the book.

"Kun Peng Myriad Transformations? Seems like a pretty big name for some book that is sitting in a random corner of a small city. This doesn't make sense. But it does look a little interesting. I should trust my gut a little." I thought as I flipped through the book.

There were multiple ways that a Kun Peng, a mysterious creature, could move around. The training method for this was also very different from what I was used to. This required a special contraption that was very clearly defined.

"System, is there any way to appriase this?" I asked.

"Host has not acquired appraisal feature. But Host has unlocked the memory feature. System suggests host to use memory feature to store the skill." the system said.

My eyes lit up.

"What feature did you just say?"
