Focusing on his grandpa, or more specifically the most recent memory he has of him, he pushes off of the rock and steps forward feeling his bodies flow and energy change as he moves. At the same time thee tigress uses her hind legs to push off backwards to keep from falling off the ledge. Meanwhile opening his eyes, tears start to well up but not quite flow as he sees his gramps standing before him in surprise.

"Grandpa!

" Yueliang exclaims as he walks towards him at a brisk pace in the throne room only a few meters from the door.

His surprise already dissipated, he walks to a chair only a meter away, and sits in it as his grandson arrives before him before asking.

"What is bothering you my child? It has not been long since we last saw each other after all.

"

Pulling out the chair beside his grandpa, he sits beside him and says.

"It feels much longer to me, and I worried that I might never see you again.

"

With confusion, he raises his hand and rubs his grandsons hair like a little child and asks.

"What nonsense are you spouting my boy? It has only been a day if that.

"

"Grandpa, it may have only been that long for you, but for me it was a week in a crazy situation. ...Explaining his past 6 and a half days ... You see, I went back in time and did not know how to come back. But at least I figured out a few of my error, although the worst part is if I do not find out how to control this soon I may die or vanish from existence without even knowing how.

" Yueliang goes on to explain his situation at the moment observing his grandpas face while doing so as it passes from disbelief to amazement, to sadness and worry.

Rin then responds once his grandson finished his story.

"Let your worries pass like water in a stream. This matter will be solved by you quickly, of that I am sure. Regarldess, you must be more careful in the future or one day you may either age up or down and eventually out of existence as not much is known of time travel. *Sigh. It is truly a pity that you are not a higher realm cultivator lest you could start cultivating a dao of your choice. In which case I would recommend the dao of time so as to not have such issues and troubles in the future.

"

"Hmm. That is true.

" Yueliang mumbles before continuing.

"It is just a pity that in the end I did not get the cultivation technique from the cave ... Wait the cave, there is a spot I have yet to check because I was too excited to come back. Maybe the solution lays back in that cave, although I worry about folding space until this matter is resolved.

" He looks down as he says this.

"My boy, calm down, and as I said before let your worries pass. Worry, sadness, and fear will never help you but instead only slow your path. Trust yourself, those you love, and the chi all around or why would anything trust you enough to help you? Then and only then will you be able to gain a deeper understanding of what you are trying to learn. Although there may be something in that cave to help you gain some ease of use temporarily in there.

"

"I see

" He responds but tries to wrap his head around the idea a bit more. However in the meantime asks.

"Grandpa did you have such problems in the past?

"

Hearing this, Rin looks at him with his serious and comforting face turning in to a pitiful smile as he says.

"Of course, but why grow old if not to guide the youths of tomorrow so as to avoid the mistakes of yesterday? Never the less, I still have a few things that cause me some deep thought but never worry.

"

Stars appearing in his eyes as well as hope as he has someone to relate to Yueliang asks.

"Really? Like what?

"

*Sigh.

"Well, I guess one of the smaller things causing me some deep thought was how I almost always had daughters and only one son, but .... well you know.

" Rin answers while looking down.

"Grandpa, I meant seriously. How is that a problem?

"

"Are you telling me you do not want to have a number of sons who are more relatable, rather than always trying to explain or understand things with your daughter that you have not experienced yourself? While I love all my daughters very much, they are a bit complicated and slightly more difficult to raise. Fortunately I have been blessed with logical and understanding daughters who loved and helped me as their mothers often did not live long enough to see their first birthdays.

" Rin explains.

Yueliang shakes his head and laughs a little, not at the misfortune but at how this seemed to ease the feelings in his heart.

"Thank you grandpa, that helped a lot. By the way, could you tell me why there are so few males on all the planets I have visited compared to females?

"

Hearing this, Rin laughs a bit as well before saying.

"My boy, I feel that is too dangerous a topic to talk about. You can figure that one out on your own as you cultivate. But why would you ask such a question?

"

"Curiosity, no other reason.

" Yueliang quickly replies.

"Hmm, alright. So you said that you figured out some of the problems with your void steps, what is it?

"

Seeing the quick change, Yue smiles and replies.

"Well the first is one must have their destination specific, whether it be a person or location lest they end up in the time they saw it or some place similar. That is the first, as for the second, one must have an extremely clear mind. You can have no other thoughts while doing so, or just like what just happened to me you may travel back or forward....

"

"... Fortunately I did not disappear out of existence with that mistake, but I am sure there are more things to pay attention too as this ability progresses. Which reminds me, I finished writing the manual for the void steps, however in order to give a copy to everyone it will take a while.

" Yueliang says to his gramps who is quite eager upon hearing the last sentence.

Observing the smile on his grandpas face, Yueliang cannot help but say.

"Do not worry, I have not forgotten the promise to teach you and sister. Currently I have my people creating an area to practice and learn, although not as dangerous as the one that I was in, as I will not be having them fill up the bottom with flesh eating acid and poison. But either way, learning this technique will likely still be difficult for you and sis. Remember no using chi while you learn this as it may affect your outcome negatively.

"

Feeling even more excited at such a challenge, Rin could not help but say.

"As far as I can tell they have already finished it unless you have finishing touches you want on the area. So if you hand me the manual I will copy it for you, as well as have it distributed.

" He says while practically drooling over something like this despite the dangers that come with such a technique.

Not wanting to risk anything, Yueliang answers.

"Do not worry, my people can copy it near instantly. Also if that is true that the area is done, than shall we head over there now? I do not mind waiting a few hours or so before going back to the immortal cave to see if a solution is there even if only temporary.

"

Rin nods excitedly and the two swiftly start making their way to the residential area, speeding up more and more as if racing using purely physical capabilities with no skills, techniques or otherwise along the way. Although Rin is clearly faster if he went all out, limiting his body to a mortals capability and having fun with his grandson feels more important and enjoyable.

It does not take the two long before they arrive at the room, where Rin even with only being limited to mortal capabilities wins by nearly 10 meters while thinking. 'Good thing I held back, even as a mortal going faster is still possible just it would not be good to dispirit my grandson.'

"Great job gramps, but I know you where holding back. I could see it in your foot steps, hopefully one day I will be as fast and strong as you. That of course being a ways off I am sure.

" Yue says while stretching his arms a little.

"You give me too much credit my boy. While I may be better now, it is the youth who surpass the old. One day you will surpass me, just as I surpass many of my generation..

" Rin replies, while feeling happy to have such a kind grandson to play with some times.
