Rudra was a born prodigy in earth. He was hailed as a genius. He completed his education by the age of 15. He got multiple doctorates in various fields. He was hired by a government research center as a junior scientist. He became the director of the research center by the age of 25. All the projects that he worked on was a success. He had more than 100 patents in various fields.
They were working on a new project when the accident happened. The government had previously found a mysterious stone from an archaeological site. The stone was giving off some sort of vital energy. The people who were in contact with the stone felt as if their age was reduced. This was a secret project of the government.
He was invited by the government to lead a team of scientists for studying the stone and to uncover its mysteries.
They were conducting some experiments on the stone when it started to agitate. The energy s.h.i.+eld protecting the stone was blasted apart. The stone started floating and became a streak of light that entered Rudra's body. He remembered falling unconscious after that.
When he woke up he was in this strange forest. Finally he took a look at himself. He found out that he was in a different body. It was a body of teenager whose age was around 12 to 13 years. He couldn't understand what was going on. His body was covered in various injuries. He knows that he had lost a lot of blood. If he doesn't do something he will end up dead.
Suddenly a warm current of energy started flowing out from his stomach. The injuries in his body also started healing at a visible rate. He was shocked. He tried to find an answer to the current situation but couldn't. He was able to slowly stand up. He looked around to find some water source. After looking for sometime, he heard the sound of a stream nearby. He started moving towards the stream.
He drank water from the stream. He removed his clothes and started was.h.i.+ng himself in the stream. After which he washed his clothes left them to dry.
As he was looking around he found a cave 100 meters from the stream. He went towards the cave and started to search around cautiously. He didn't want to end up as food for some animals. Thus he searched for any sign of wild animals nearby the cave. Once he found out that there were
As he was relaxing, he started going through the memories of the predecessor. Initially it was kind of blurry but after concentrating hardly the memories started to unfold. He realized the name of the previous owner was Long Tian. He was an orphan from the stone village. The village elders and chief were the ones who took care of him from his childhood. The rest of the information he found left him completely shocked.
This is not the earth that he came from. The name of the continent was 'The Soaring Clouds' continent. This world is filled with martial artist and demon beasts. Here the strong prey the weak. Only the people at the peak can truly live their life carefree. An inexplicable feeling of determination rose in his mind. The dream of the predecessor was to reach the peak of martial arts. Thus he was in a journey to join a sect in the Cloud City. Cloud city is the capital of the continent. There are many experts roaming around the city.
The sect that he wanted to join was the Heavenly Dragon sect. It was one of the top sects in the continent.

The cla.s.sification of martial artists level in the continent are as follows:- body tempering, qi condensation, foundation establishment, core formation and nascent soul. There are levels after that but he doesn't have any information regarding them in his memories.
The heavenly dragon sect master and the grand elders are all nascent soul stage martial artist. This is the main reason for the sect to be hailed as one of the top most sect in the continent.
The previous owner of the body, Long Tian was a genius in martial arts. He reached the body tempering stage 9 by the age of 12. Even the geniuses from various sects are about the same level at this age. The only difference is that they were provided with endless resources while he achieved this through his hard work and talent.
After consulting with the village chief and the elders he decided to try and join the sect. After a tearful celebration, the village chief gave him a 100 silver. This amount was given collectively by all the villagers. Thus it was very special to him.
While pa.s.sing through the forest he was attacked by a group of bandits. They were all body tempering stage 7 and above. But he was able to take care of them quickly. However the bandit leader was a qi condensation level martial artist. Thus he lost the fight easily. Even then he was able to injure the leader. After which he ran away with his injured body. Unfortunately the injuries he sustained were heavy thus he lost his life.
That was when Rudra's soul entered this body. He couldn't help but sigh while recalling the luck of his predecessor. He was a genius who was supposed to reach the peak and yet he was dead even before he started his path.
This made him realize, 'Only the strong can survive in this world. Even though the prospect of cultivation is attractive, if I don't become strong the end result would be death'. He silently resolved himself to work twice as hard so that he wouldn't face an untimely death.
He tried checking the meridians and his dantian to see if there was any damage, luckily there were none. He was using his consciousness to check his dantian. What he found left him speechless. The mysterious stone which ended his life prematurely was drifting within his dantian. When his consciousness touched the mysterious stone he felt a terrible headache. He felt as if his head is going to explode. The pain continued for a few breaths and then gradually subsided.
A series of instructions and a cultivation technique appeared in his mind. According to the instructions, it was an archaic cultivation technique of the dragon race from the primordial era. This was one of the top level cultivation technique. The only issue was that he needs dragon blood in his body to cultivate the technique.
Heavenly dragon mantra - This was the name of the cultivation technique. He realized that the mysterious energy from the stone is actually the vitality of the dragon blood inside. It is actually the essence blood of a divine dragon. He couldn't help himself from shouting in joy.
He now knew that he could use this dragon blood to cultivate this technique. The only problem was that the pain he would be feeling when the dragon blood enters his marrow would be unbearable. But the benefits of the method far outweighed the momentary pain that he had to go through.
If he could cultivate this method, he himself could become a divine dragon and soar through the nine heavens. Thus no matter what happens he decided to cultivate this technique.
He wanted to relax and rest today and start practicing the technique tomorrow. He wanted to be in a optimum condition before he starts practicing the technique.
Once decided he went outside to get his clothes, as they've already dried. After finding few fish from the stream he had a small dinner and the went inside the cave and started sleeping.
