Chapter 2

Ren Xiao dashed through the trees nimbly, jumping from tree to tree, doing ridiculous backflips and other things.

Hoshigaki Kisame was really quite the powerful figure. But that was sort of a given, as he was a member of one of the Naruto world's most powerful forces. The Akatsuki.

Ren Xiao equipped Dragon Slayer in one of his hands and swung it a bit, the blade whistling through the air with practiced ease.

It was pretty heavy, probably over a hundred tons. He had really underestimated a shinobi's pure physical strength.

He equipped Samehada on the other hand, fanboying over its shark-like appearance and such.

The system…. Had given him faulty information it seems…. In reality, the time was currently the Difficult Dao Era, a time of great annoyance. From what the system estimated, it would be about 3,000 years before the Dark Crow would fly once again…..

Ren Xiao thought his golden finger was a little unreliable after this happened.

Swinging the swords randomly, Ren Xiao cut through countless trees and rocks for no apparent reason, other than to test his power.

"Water Release: Great Shark Bullet Technique!" Ren Xiao spat a huge amount of water, thrusting it forwards, the Jutsu created a huge ravenous shark made from water.

The water shark spat a giant amount of concentrated water bullets, which easily tore through the forest surroundings.

"Zombie Shark Bijuu Transformation!" Suddenly, Ren Xiao felt something change. His spine and bones cracked and warped, as he soon began to grow bigger. His teeth turned into sharp shark-like teeth and his skin, a dark bluish-green. Giant spines and spikes grew out of his back, with some of it seeming ripped apart, with bones showing. A great spiky turtle shell also grew out of his back.

At that moment, Ren Xiao felt extremely powerful. He raised his web-like claw and slashed outwards demolishing a part of a nearby mountain.

"ROAR!!!!" His ferocious growl sounded throughout the whole entire mountain range, and birds and other animals fled in terror.

Inspecting himself, Ren Xiao thought he looked pretty cool. Not very handsome, but completely savage.

His pupils shone a dim golden yellow, and acid dripped from his body, dissolving mos tit went in contact with.

After a while of complete devastation, Ren Xiao sighed and he soon transformed back, head and body shrinking back into a human-like shape. Thankfully, his new robe had not been torn and actually seemed completely fine. Some jutsu really was powerful.

Two Months Later...

"Ren Xiao! I believe in you! Go become an immortal!" Was all that Wei Jian said, slapping Ren Xiao on the back, they let him off.

Zhou Wei gave him some grilled fish, not saying anything before leaving.

It had been quite a while since the Cleansing Incense Ancient Kingdom had been destroyed, and the Sect was slowly falling into ruin. Ren Xiao quite liked the Sect in the story, and wanted to go there and be a disciple…. Right now, he could not really leech off Li Qi Ye as he was still asleep in the cave.

But at the moment, according to the system, he could probably beat up anyone under the Soul Creation stage, and in his Bijuu Zombie Mode, a low-level Ancient Saint.

The Body Refining Stage ticket was a ticket that could refine his body, making his strength a lot greater. It also helped him, as he had managed to get to the Palace Foundation stage.

Ren Xiao set off, past the river, which he wistfully passed, and made his way out, and towards the Cleansing Incense Sect.

The memories of old Ren Xiao still stayed with him, so he had some attachment to this place.

Well…. He was going to live near it anyway…. If he got into the sect that is…

Ren Xiao made his way down a winding road, before reaching the sect gates.

A majestic plaque above them read, "Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect."

Ren Xiao smirked. This is where his journey to become an immortal began!

[Oh, you're already here?]

[Well, I was going to give you the mission earlier, but…. Well, you are already here….]

[Screw it]

[Here ya go…]

[Mission: Join the Cleansing Incense Sect….]

[Penalty: Nothing.]

[Reward: x3 Random Ticket and 1x Rock]

Why rock? What?

Ren Xiao scratched his head and walked up to one of the two disciples guarding the gates.

"Excuse me, esteemed Disciple, how would one enter the sect?" Sadly, Ren Xiao had to act a little respectfully in front of these canon fodder otherwise they might get offended, and the whole young master scenario would rear its ugly head….

"You must wait until the Disciple Recruitment Exam starts, in a few weeks." One of the disciples spoke confidently, propping his spear on the side of the gate. "It should start….. Just when the sun rises and the crows are just starting to stir."

"Thank you." Ren Xiao bowed, and was on his way to the nearby town, where he would bunk down and wait for a while….

A Few Weeks Later…

"Finally!" Ren Xiao walked through the bustling town streets, eating a riceball, which surprisingly existed even in a more wuxia-themed world.

He walked with a big group of other hopefuls, who wanted to join the sect, smiling in anticipation.

The useless system had told Ren Xiao that he possessed the following talent: Xiantian Physique, Xiantian Physique, and Xiantian Fate Palace. So basically, he was average.

But it was not really Ren Xiao's cultivation that would do the talking. With his proficiency in the art of the sword and his jutsu, Ren Xiao could probably dominate in any sect competitions and such.

As they walked through the gates of the sect, many people gasped, astonished by the many beautiful architectures and other structures the sect had.

Ren Xiao, though an urban city dweller, was still awed by all the amazing vast structures. When one sees architecture, they must admire it….

Soon, the group of excited fools found themselves in a courtyard, where a wizened man scratched his beard.

"Hello. My name is Elder Lan, I am an Elder of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. Today is the disciple recruitment exam, please stand in order by your numbers.

A guard from before had given everyone a number, and the lot soon got into position.

Soon, ELder Lan began to place the disciples in front of the mirror. As a die-hard fan, Ren Xiao immediately knew that this must be the Truth Mirror, to judge the mortal's worthiness. "Number five…"

The list soon went on until…. "Numer 389" Ren Xiao stepped forwards confidently, making his way to the mirror. A few people commented on his extremely pale, yet also radiant looks.

"He looks pretty cool actually…."

"Wonder what he does all day to look so pale?"

Ren Xiao made his way in front of the mirror. It glowed for a second, before displaying the results. "All Xiantian… Not bad… You pass." Protector Lan motioned for him to proceed to another table to register him. Even in a world of cultivation, one was still not free of paperwork.

[Ding...]

[So you completed it eh…? Good job!]

[Have stuff. Bye~]
