Imagine being reincarnated in a magical world with martial artists capable of severing mountains, and dividing seas. A world where gods exist, and are deemed supreme and like to cause chaos. If one has a system bent on tempting then to become the biggest devil, to enjoy most of its benefits. The story follows Wang Lu's reincarnation and his journey in a new world as he struggles to retain what he deems as good about himself while taking benefits from the system. Wang Lu: "Villains die old, good people die faster! I'm such a good person, is this seeking death?" System: "??? ... You? A good person? Then everyone in this place is a saint!"

He didn't sense the presence of his parents. He continued to look through the copy of the technique, ignoring who was talking about him behind his back. He was not expecting to grasp this technique on the first day. But he didn't mind remembering the movements in mind.
After Wang Lu started practicing the Comprehensive Tai Bone records time passed and before he knew it it had been more than three weeks. But to his shock, he had yet to complete the movements of the technique. But that also made sense, after all he only practiced the technique in the night at the Cold Pool. But things were different for The yang movement bone Scripture. He had not expected the speed of practicing this technique would be so fast. He had not just completed the movements but even managed to reach the Human soldier stage. He was sure that if he had enough sunbathing while practicing the technique, he would probably even achieve the Human commander stage in about two months. Only things couldn't be done like that, as the old woman his grandmother sent to guide him brought another technique for him to practice during this period. He didn't complain, and practiced it seriously. He could also feel that the technique was not weak, and it would probably take more than just three months to even get the movements completely. Unlike the Indestructible Demon Body that is separated into three parts, and different sections are taught with each stage, these techniques require one to completely master all the movements. Even though the Indestructible Demon Body was considered divided into parts, he could only practice the next stage by combining it with the first movements learned. It wasn't separate, but rather the division was made to make it convenient for teaching kids that had just stepped into the path of Martial arts.
In the early stages of martial arts, it seemed that remembering the movements was very important. He also found this a big deal, and it was among the reasons, he couldn't accomplish an even faster practice speed.
He wasn't that worried, as he knew that each of then had about four years that the clan would support their practice all the way to the Human general stage. Even though some might be able to reach the peak of body forging in less than eight months, it wouldn't change the fact that it was not that easy to achieve. Without sufficient resources, and a unique constitution, it would take longer. Not to mention, the clan wouldn't be responsible for the resources used in this stage, unless some elders take a liking to someone.
As for the parents and grandparents, they could spend a lot to acquire some resources. It was not considered a bad thing, as such the period was four years. But the true intent was that someone might have placed some focus on the martial techniques and thus delayed. All of this was learned from the woman teaching him the Five Elements Saint Body. He didn't ask about why the technique had such a loud name. He just practiced, and could feel the energy being consumed was not trivial. He could only one, that was even with the assistance of the medical baths. What was even more shocking was that he couldn't share the medical baths to recover for the practice of other techniques. But he could feel that the medical resources being used were far valuable, considering the medical energy was becoming stronger and stronger.
He just felt slightly itchy sensation in his internal organs as he continued the practice, and even more memorable was the number of times he had visited the toilet. Clearly the method his grandmother brought him didn't have any martial ethics.
A young man like him was always hanging aroundnthe toilet after practicing the technique, one would think he had been suffering from diarrhea the entire period. He was lucky to stay in his own residence or things would be awkward if he had to share the toilet with others.
But for the past three weeks, he has gotten used to it. Now all he had to do was focus on making sure he kept his persistence and chased after his goal for the next four years.
He could at least tell the difference between the Body forging skills just based on the difficulty that came with practice. The two he practiced in the morning after the sun rose and the evening after darkness descended focused on the bones. The more he practiced the more he understood just how different such techniques were from the Indestructible Demon Body. He had also planned to go in the library to find out more about the three stages of body Forging.
He had been in a rush to collect the current bone refinement techniques he was practicing. He would make sure to check the next time he went. As for asking the woman supervising his cultivation, he thought about it and decided against it. She only spoke to him when in a good mood. He didn't want to bother her with information he could easily gain from the library.
He couldn't be impatient when doing things, and tried his best to prioritize his goals.
Just like that another two weeks passed and he went again to check out Xingyue's residence, but didn't find anyone. In the begining it was just his speculation, but this time he had suspicions that something had happened.
He could only helplessly walk towards the Library. This time he wasn't going to collect a technique, as the three he was practicing were already far from being perfected.
He had however managed to get started when the difficult Comprehensive Tai Bone records and could feel cold energy sip dip into his bones every time he practiced the movements. The coldness was just borne piercing and painful. Without the support of medical baths, he could only endure it, and thus every morning, he looked pale. The yang movement bone Scripture,that was cultivated every morning just after the sun had risen became that best remedy for this.
"Don't tell me Xingyue couldn't bear the pain of practicing martial arts and decided to give up already?" He had this thought in his mind a few times. Now he even suspected it to be true, and this was not a single case as he heard that a few had already given up.
