002 In to the Darkness

Its been 7 days since my great 'escape' from my 'clan', saving my "life" from the protagonist wrath, who seek the revenge for his late sister. My "great grandchild" seem to involve in that mess, courting his own death and inviting the disaster to my "clan". Thus, the hero show off his might and make my "descendant" learn that they have eyes but can't see the mount Tai!

As for me, the ancestor, I choose to flee after "survive" from the hero sudden sure kill attack. Some must wonder why should I scared to him after reaching the power far above the hero - the answer is simple, I simply want to. Why should I defend that shitty young master, the villain who will attract more and another possible danger, especially after messing up with those who have the hero fate (protagonist plot correction).

Thus, I become the clan renegade although I suppose to be it's ancestor, the highest rank and title for it's member. One for sure, I'm not really this "Bai Chow" guys but only "a normal and kind person" from another world - yes the Earth, that been forced to involve in this situation - which always happened in the transmigration novel genre. Without any warning or sign (meeting God or so whatever), all I know that my soul suddenly replaced the original Bai Chow guys, leading me to this incident.

For me, this is tragic, as I didn't become a protagonist, but the f@king ancestor of the villain! Moreover, I actually familiar with this situation - same plot in the web novel story that read before! The villain, who came up in the very first arc of the story, is the typical young master, has done injustice thing to the main character, r@ped his sister, lead to the clan annihilating and massacring by the hero. It's really just as same as the story line of the popular web novel plot that I read before, "Fighting the God".

Well, my appearance as the new "Bai Chow" did harm the hero story line. I, the ancestor who suppose to die from the hero surprise attack, survive - had forced him to retreat. Those shitty clan member become rejoice with their the ancestor resilient and might facing the powerful attack! But it's doesn't mean that I, replacing the ancestor willing to help them. So, using all the resource, I manage to power up and reached 25 Star Jade levels, while bankrupting the clan. I even sacrifice the higher up members in the process and leaving the clan without any hesitation. With new level of cultivation, I can fly freely in the sky, leaving the clan for good.

Surprisingly, Azure Sky Continent, the land that become the background of the story, is quite large as I need two days to reach the coastline of the continent. By the way, I travel by flying with the speed more than 10 times of sound velocity without single minute of rest. This fantasy or should I say, the cultivation world seem too large as one continent size has same size as the Earth surface or maybe much bigger. Like a super high tech jet, I flew freely on the sky, leaving that gigantic continent and went straight without any destination in mind. After day 5 flying non-stop across the wide ocean, finally I managed to arrive at unknown continent. I didn't land right away but take my time surveying around the place while pounding what to do next.

When I'm reaching the Immortal stage in my cultivation, the needy of foods and rest already become unnecessary so I can do this all days. As Immortal, you even didn't need defecate as all of the body impurities will be send out by sweating. No wonder the cultivator can secluded themselves for long time in the novel.

While flying, I accidentally found something that I shouldn't have according to mainstream wuxia novel - the status screen. Actually, while bored flying across the insanely wide and large ocean without encounter any land or island along the way, I in the day dreaming state, started to remember about the 'isekai' like situation where those main character get the ability to view their status. So, I started with the line like status, property, and administration chant shouting, but the keyword 'open' finally hit the mark and a status screen appear on my sight.

___________________________________

Anyway, I can only the status of myself, so basically it quite useless for me currently. That is the specialty of my Truth Eyes (Appraisal). I aware that my name been blurred but when I think again, what actually my real name? I did recalled how my 38 years virgin life going on, my families, friends and associates yet I can't figure my name. Did I died in accident, crashed by Mr. Truck? I'm pretty sure my life is not bad at all, only missing girlfriend or wife, that's all. Ah, maybe that little thing so called system brings me here, so I have chances to seek for my future jade beauty wife - of course the real one, not the waifu or 2D character.

Some of my status been concealed but I can see the ability that I have without problem. I got special title, which received by fulfilled the condition. As ancestor of Bai clan, I have special right on every clan properties, and surprisingly, my "Bai clan" only the branch of the main one. Not weird, as why the Bai clan quite powerful and have powerful artifacts like the crystal in my secluded cave that can pump one cultivation ranks to highest as possible! Celestial Ordinance Crystal shouldn't exist in this lower realms at all! Other that the privilege, become Bai descendant grant you the special martial art called Bai Monarchs Arts.

The Bai Monarchs Arts, which contain 6 circles, are quite powerful and the reason why Bai clan become the tyrant of the Azure Sky Continent for long time. I already tried and learned one by one the move of the martial art while in my journey. The first circle art is a palm technique called the Storm Palm. I managed to kill those idiot giant bird that tried to attack me on my way and it's one hit kill (well, I pretty strong after all). The second circle is the kick technique, named, the Thunder Kick followed by Hurricane Slash, based on hand knife moves. The fourth one is the punch method, Bai Killing Fist, which become the trademark of the Bai clan members. The punch technique have many kind and variety styles, differ from one and another Bai clan practitioners, such as Bai Chow, his punch called the 'Bai Ultimate Destroyer Fist'. The next circle only can be learned by the Bai bloodline families, and called the Bai Asura Path. This circle level quite destructive and helped the user achieve their element into the form of thunder.

For the cultivator, every individual have their own element compatibilities, and each elements can be trained to reached the highest stage, the element thunderization. While using Asura Extreme Killing Instinct, the Bai bloodline can achieve that easily by connecting their element with art. This powerful move become one of the arsenal of Bai Clan hand. Yet, at the abandon clan of mine, only I and the patriarch manage to learn it and master the move but still, we taste the defeat when facing the protagonist (original story). Right now, I have reached the highest stage of Asura path, the Evil God Throne, with the help of the Prefect Comprehend Level. While the original owner of this body only have one element, Dark to speak for, I can launch all 6 elements into the highest stage without any trouble - and all of it already reached the thunder realms!

The last circles, the only genuine prove of being a Bai Ancestor, is called the Champion Spirits. This martial art is a summoned technique, yet a unique one. The practitioner can summon any superior warrior death soul that related to him (deceases family members, friends, teachers and associates) or the victims that been killed by him (rivals, enemies or victims) to help the user in fight with reducing one lifespan as the payment. Although, when you reached the Immortal stage, those condition become invalid and you can used it without any problem. Yet, this former Bai Chow failed to master it properly due on focusing his cultivation rank. If not, he will be unbeatable in this lower realms. As for me, I nailed it while soaring at the sky, and take me few moment. I guess, if other Bai clan branches ancestor heard about me, they will vomiting a bucket of blood without doubt.

Back to current situation, I decide to land at a deep forest after arrived at this new continent. It's not like I didn't want to go to the city or town, but as you know, I lack of knowledge about this continent. That's why I wanted to hunt first as I can use it to exchange with money or currency in this area. My hunt didn't take much time to find the prey, as those ingredients coming themselves to me like the duck with scallion. From small animal like the rabbit, to a gigantic beast, I managed to hunt them without problem. After killing those preys, I keep their body in my almost empty spatial ring for future transaction.

At the night, I set up my base near the river as I wanted spend few night here. While on it, using my element ability, I create a simple house, a small building with out room for my accommodation. I also shave my all mustache and trimming my beard, leaving it to petite goatee style. I even cut my long hair, into short cut style - the "Short Faux Hawk" which quite popular among men in my past life. I become the handsome old man, as I couldn't rejuvenate my body yet because the lack of Dao force in this lower realms. I actually can go higher realms if I wanted but decided not to do yet. I have lack plenty of thing - knowledge, resource and every thing to survive at the higher realms.

The next day after finally a good night sleep, I begun to venture again the foreign forest. I pretty sure this place is far different from Azure Sky Continent. The plants here are new to me, not to mention the animals. Based on Bai Chow memories, who live almost a thousand years, he did not encounter this kind of ecological nature, so rich with wild life but too vicious and never tried to avoid human. For immortal like me, those creature doesn't bring a tiny harm to me. The deeper I went into the forest, the stronger the beast that attack me unannounced. It's seem like a monster ball game that I used to play way back then, where I walk into grass patch that literally have infinity bird monsters and encounter them every step.

Even at the night, the attack won't stop. I have to set up a barrier at my temporary base in the night when I rested although I never need it. Yet those creatures still seeking chances to attack me. Weird enough, does these beast lack of danger instinct, attacking me, an immortal? Fair enough if I just an ordinary immortal, but although my cultivation been restricted, I still igniting the divine aura - the God Realms on top of that, so even though the weak cultivators can't detect it, all the monster and beast should. But why? Nevertheless, my hunted prizes already overflow in my spatial ring, though there are space to spare.

The next day, the third day in this place, I continued my aimless walk deep into that forest and all of sudden, the fierce attacks stopped. In few hours time, nothing has appear as I leisurely taking my step. Well, the peace time doesn't last long as the gigantic white gorilla with complete armor, making its appearance, to challenge me. Nah, it's one side bully, and I, the one who bully that poor beast. I have to seal my power and only used 0.01% in order to practice the Bai martial arts. The poor gorilla only can accept my three move, before died without knowing why and how. Now I know how the baldy caped hero feels when he knock out his enemy with one attack.

"Show up you brats! Don't hide yourself!" Actually while I playing with that gorilla, I can detect three persons, sneakily watch my fight with the gorilla. While the pairs doesn't shown any hostile intent, I can feel the young one arrogant vibe, surely looking down at me - while planning to steal my prey.

"Junior greet the senior! Please forgive me for disturbing you, great senior...." The old looking person hasten his move to show respect to me. Seem that this fellow can detected my power even though lack of cultivation realms.

"Father, why you so polite to him? He even....." The youngster voice halted by the dagger stare of the old man.

"I'm sorry venerable one... Please show mercy to the young..." The middle age lady beside the brat bow to me while pushing her son head matching her action.

"Fine. At ease..." With the tone of supreme being, I open my mouth.

""We thanks the venerable one!"" Those pair thank me with a fear note.

"So, you wanted this, my prize, so be it. But I wanted some payment for this..."

"You willing to sell the Titan Armor Ape to us?" The old man seem shocked with my suggestion.

"You don't want to?" I asked him with rude tone.

"No, senior. This junior wanted this beast for my son so he can absorb it for his third beast ring. But, senior, are you sure that you don't need this beast soul for your own use?"

"Nah... This weakling doesn't make me sweat so I don't want the soul... Wait, what do you mean when you said "beast ring" ring? I pretty sure that cultivation style don't exist in "Fighting the God" plot line?"

"So senior must be the Perfect (Real) Dao cultivator from celestial realms and decent to our dimension. As senior said, this beast doesn't hold a candle to the divine beast level, only a 13,000 Year Beast Ring, so it make sense the yellow colored beast ring didn't enter on senior sight...." The old guys politely explains while misunderstood something.

"13,000 Year Beast Ring? The orange colored beast ring? AH!?" When I heard those whose, the old memories come to me - this is the story line of the popular web novel called Soul Garden, this book even have his own adapted animation and games!

"Senior?!"

It's seem that I have entered another world of the web story.....
