"There is a thin line between poison and medicine, and I shall make you dance on it!" Dead and reincarnated, Shen Bao finds himself in a world of cultivation, a world he only believed that existed in stories and books. With hopes of heights and abilities far than what the mortal man could ever dream of, he's given a new purpose in life, however, fate had other surprises in store for him. What should have commenced as a regular life in any reincarnation story, for Shen Bao everything turned upside down when he found out that he doesn't have the ability to cultivate...
The Death Sun floated back, his eyes now brimming with a dark energy. He was like a shadow given form, a void that swallowed light. He turned to me, his expression a grotesque mixture of mockery and triumph. "Now, Shen Bao," he said, his voice dripping with venomous glee. "The crystal. It is all I need to open the gate."
I hesitated for the briefest of moments, every instinct in me screaming not to give it to him. But we were cornered, and the Walkers were a threat we couldn't ignore. "Giving you the crystal while you just betrayed your ally, trusting you into keeping a promise is pretty dumb now, isn't it?" My voice held an edge of defiance, but inside, fear gnawed at my resolve.
"Fool," the Death Sun hissed. "All I need is to leave. I want to see a different world that lies right behind this gate. I've worked hard to achieve it; don't test my already waning patience, Shen Bao."
