"... didn't we agree you would slow down your growth?" Ling Fang asked with crossed arms looking at Ling Han who was skinner than normal. ever since Ling Han tapped into his true potential, his hunger has grown. Now he needed level 10 Saint King level wild beast.

his treasury had herbs and other such things above the legendary grade, but his body needed more than simple herbs. he needed meat, fruits, and vegetables, on top of that he also needed to drink water and milk.

"I accidentally tapped into my full potential," I said with a lowered head, Lign Fang frowned slightly while looking at Ling Han.

"This is your peak potential?" he asked, to which I shook my head slightly.

"No, my full potential is that I don't have a full potential. I can fight immortals even if my cultivation was at level 1 Houtian. I can skip as many levels as I want if I put in the work, no matter what. 1 realm, 2 realms, 100 realms, or whatever. I have no limits. I have truly endless potential." I said leaving the two stunned for some time.

"but... I still need to cultivate if I want the benefit of reaching a realm. although I can copy the benefits using energy, there is some limits to that. I rather not grow stronger from being hungry. And Since It will not kill me, it would just be torture." I said softly, I was immortal. I grew stronger with everything. As I near my death I grew stronger, I grew hungry I grew stronger, as I neared my defeat, I shall grow stronger, and the list went on.

There were so many times of energy, Death Qi, Hunger Qi, and so on. I fully understood all energy and how it could fully be used. 

"I will set out tomorrow with the army." Ling Fang said softly, Ling Han had given him many things. Among them was formation which could speed time up. he had set up a powerful formation that allowed time within a holy land to have its time flow speed up by many times.

this allowed him to train an army at extreme speed. At first, he wanted to leave in 3 months but it seemed like he should head out ahead of time. As for where. he would have to ignore all of the planets in the star system and jump straight to those galaxies overflowing with Saint Kings at level 9 or above.

this universe was nearly boundless. There was an infinite number of galaxies... well, that was not completely true. With my eyes, I see that the galaxies were being born at speeds that were stupidly fast. there were trillions upon trillions upon trillions etc of galaxies. Every hour over a thousand galaxies are born.

each starts off being basic normal-sized galaxies like those that could be found back in Ling Han's old home. but they would go on to grow to be trillions if not more times bigger. So yeah, this universe was huge... and fun fact, this wasn't the only universe out there.

there were countless universes out there, some universes were best skilled in the soul path, while others were best skilled in the death path, and so on. Each universe had something they were most skilled in... or rivaled another universe in.

Each universe had many parallel worlds. the demon realm, the celestial realm, the dragon realm, and the list when on. the celestial deer was from the celestial realm, the celestial realm is home to celestial races. a bunch of magical lifeforms such as the celestial dragon, the celestial human, the celestial phoenix, and many other such races.

they are named celestials due to the unique way they are born, some are born from stars, and others are born from planets or the moon. but these are the pure-blooded of the celestial races, they were rare. the others have to sleep with each other to be born.

Fun fact, elves, dwarfs, and other similar human-like races were all humans. they just took different paths in evolution. Like how there were black and white humans, this world also had that although each planet would normally have one skin color human race. like how there were many types of birds back on Earth, this world has many types of races.

The main human race... was humans. they were the first type and the others came second and got their own names down the road. but humans can be born in more ways than one, a human doesn't need to be born from a mother and father. in the celestial realm, a celestial human can be born from stars, planets, and moons.

the dimension they were currently in was called The Desolate North, shocker it was the weakest. although it was at some point one of the strongest places. but that was within the Shi Fang era when Shi Fang ascended to the immortal plan, this place was left to the people who eyed it like hungry wolves to see if he left behind any inheritances. 

this realm only had 10 level 10 Saint Kings, which was small compared to the countless level 10 Saint Kings that filled the universe. but it was perfect for Ling Fang to conquer. I gave him the power to tap into my treasury, so he could now call out my treasures which were all above the legendary grade.

but first thing first, he shot off on his own to go into another realm to collect food for me, which he brought back for me to eat to my full. At the same time, he had me put all my attention into improving my cultivation. since the more my strength improved without my cultivation improving, the quicker I grew hungrier 

Before, I could go about 1 week without the need for food. but now, I need about 1 hour. But my father went on to create a new item called the Cursed Necklace of Hunger. this necklace would remove my need to eat at a price. I shall no longer be able to use my cultivation or even strength, but in return, my cultivation speed shall be boosted.

of course, this necklace appeared in my treasury, which I went on to put on. it boosted my cultivation speed by a billion times. with this necklace, every second to me is equal to 31 years' worth of cultivation, 

but my resistance was too powerful, although with it I only needed 5 hours before I got hungry, it wasn't enough. So, I needed a full set of gear. rings, clothing, shoes, and so on. all of which had extreme curses which weakened me greatly, but in the end after having a full set of gear, I could go 1 week without the need for food. at the same time, 1 second would gift me benefits equal to 500 years' worth of cultivation.

"I will be heading off. I shall return every 5 days with food." Ling Fang said while standing before a large ship, where an army was heading inside. the army all had weapons and gear from my treasury, at the same time my father had a necklace the necklace of fate. it pretty much swung things in their favor. adding the grade of that item, they were fated to rule the world.

"Alright, you don't need to rush," I said with a smile, to which Ling Fang just nodded slightly. I understood my father well... he had his pride. although a simple word from me could summon countless level 10 wild beasts, my father didn't want to and instead wanted to be the one to provide for me. I didn't say anything about this, and just let him do his thing.

I watched as the ship disappeared, in the blink of an eye skipping spacetime, leaving the galaxy, and reaching the biggest galaxy of them all. the Heavenly Star Galaxy... to say the least, Ling Fang came in with overwhelming power.

a few days later, Ling Han sat back enjoying a meal. before all of this, he was at level 9 Houtian, but at this moment he could feel his cultivation taking a step forward to break into level 10. he just needed a few days.

"... My mother feared I would hurt myself, so she had me use this story knives and fork," I said calmly, ignoring Nalan Yanran who was trying to avoid looking at the toy Knive I was eating with.

"You came faster than expected... my nap time is in a few minutes. So, what is your answer?" I asked calmly, Nalan Yanran felt slightly awkward but she quickly cleared her head. after the last time she met Ling Han, she went on a walk to figure out her reasoning for all of this.

She came to understand a few things, the fact she grew up with the things her mother left with her had destroyed her chances of growing up and enjoying a simple life. from a young age, she knew what the human heart was like, she understood how selfish people could be and how the world runs on benefit. 

"I came to realize that I want to love and be happy like others." Nalan Yanran said weakly, causing not only my eyebrow but even Ling Mei's eyebrow to raise as we were both caught off guard by this.

"You asked what I would do if I reached the peak... I will go on to live a simple life. a life without worries and problems. I will scheme and use everyone I can to reach that peak." She said while looking at Ling Mei's straight in the eyes. this was the dream she came to find. she had a trust problem, it's not that she was scared to trust others. She was on guard against others scheming against her, why would others approach her if they didn't want something from her? As she schemed against others, she was on guard against others doing the same to her.

"Wow... you have guts to even say you would use me. but you have the dream... but now you still have to prove yourself. I did say you have to reach the capital, the last time I checked this isn't the capital." I said with a smile, stunning Nalan Yanran slightly. 

"So, I will change it. In the tournament, show me someone who has the dream to reach the peak of cultivation." I said with a smile, Nalan Yanran looked at me deeply for some time before nodding slightly.

"I will not disappoint." She said seriously, the more she spoke with this kid, the more she realized this kid wasn't normal. at first, he looked like a normal kid, but the treasures the kid had were all cursed items. She was a dragon, and dragons had an eye for treasures.

"My lord... to show such disrespect before you, how could that be allowed?" Ling Mei said in rage once Nalan Yanran left.

"Let her be. thats the type of mindset I want. I have been thinking of having a personal guard and someone to be my sword. She would make a perfect shield. a shield should do more than simply defend, it needs a scheming mind and the power to see through all schemes that could affect its master." I said making Ling Mei sigh softly, 

"why bother with such a brat when even immortals would jump at the chance to see you?" She asked with a deep sigh

"I have no interest in searching for the most talented or most powerful, if that was the case I would replace everyone around me with new people that pop up," I said before finishing up my food after I went to take my nap before waking up the next day to go out on an adventure 

today, I will go with the celestial deer to the Bright Moon Realm, it was the realm where his daughter is currently. She was within one of the strongest galaxies called Half Moon galaxy...

"Sister Ji, you got this." A beautiful black-haired woman said to a blonde-haired woman who was looking up ahead at an arena where a man stood, awaiting her. The blonde-haired woman looked like a celestial, a goddess who could lead empires to go into battle.

"I'm not sure." She said while looking at her palm, this shocked the black-haired woman as she knew who this blonde-haired woman was. She was the number one disciple of the Moon Seizing Sect and was the disciple of its ancestor

today was one of the sect events, the ranking tournament which took place every 1,000 years. this tournament was a ranking tournament which also came with great rewards depending on which place you came in. First place was of course the most wanted place because first place didn't just have the best rewards compared to the others, but also had the unique rewards. the ability to ask the sect for one thing, 

due to how powerful the sect was, many powerful figures from all over came to watch this event. even those of the royal family were here, eyeing the event taking place.

the blonde-haired woman didn't say anything else, and after putting on a cloth to hide her appearance, she took a step and appeared on the stage. there she saw her opponent, the most handsome man she had ever seen. A handsome black-haired man, he had deep black eyes.

"Long time no see. Ji Yao..." the man said with a smile, to which the woman just nodded slightly. She closed her eyes slightly, the man had just joined the sect, and within a year he was already able to reach such heights where he was fighting for first place with her. She had already seen his capability over a year ago, he was a genius who could fight a realm above his cultivation. She used to during the lower levels, but as her cultivation improved, she could no longer do that.

He was at the level 3 Core formation realm, meanwhile, she was at the level 7 Core formation realm. She could fight someone at half-step Nascent Soul, realm, and she was sure he could do the same. But she had to win, 

As the match began, Ji Yao shot forward at blinding speed. Duan Ling Tian also moved, his leg for a moment seemed to have the image of the dragon overlap with it before he disappeared appearing before Ji Yao. Ji Yao's sword swung down with the image of a falling moon following behind the sword. 

Duan Ling Tian didn't dodge, and with his fist alone which was empowered by Quake Qi, a unique energy of vibration. the two clashed, and although Ji Yao was stronger, Duan Ling Tian quake Qi traveled through the sword into her body, causing her to cough up some blood.

Duan Ling Tian was also sent backward with his fist bleeding as Ji Yao's sword cut through his flesh. but his body was powerful, and had a powerful recovery capability, allowing the injury to quickly disappear.

Ji Yao also had a powerful recovery speed, her injury wasn't great but had quickly recovered. but that one clash allowed her to understand a few things, For every clash she would have with Duan Ling Tian, her defense would be bypassed thanks to Quake Qi.

She took a deep breath before she stepped forward, disappearing at blinding speed. She and Duan Ling Tian disappeared, but Ji Yao was now trying to avoid clashing with Duan Ling Tian while aiming to quickly finish this battle,

It was like a moon and dragon fighting, at least thats the impression those watching this battle felt. many were lost in the battle as these two were geniuses far beyond their age, but Duan Ling Tian was even more impressive. everyone couldn't help but wonder how powerful would he be if they were at the same level of cultivation.

At first, they were evenly matched, Duan Ling Tian couldn't use Quake Qi too much, so he saved it for moments when they both clashed. Ji Yao had to move around at high speed, which burned up a lot of her energy, and even then at times, she would clash with Duan Ling Tian. Duan Ling Tian was covered in blood from head to toe, while JI Yao was left suffering from the Quake Qi which left her coughing up blood. In the end, Duan Ling Tian managed to land a good blow on her, causing her to fly back with her cloth flying in the air.

at this, everyone stood up as no one had ever got the chance to see Ji Yao's face... and as soon as they got a good look, it was like the heavens had lost all their charm. before them was a divine beauty, a goddess who had no rival. Duan Ling Tian's eyes were also wide in shock, but he snapped back to reality and gave her back her clothes allowing her to quickly cover her face.

She had the charm to charm both females and males, a charm which was too powerful that it could charm trouble into her life. now with her face being revealed, and with many people recording the battle, she would have many people eyeing her, far more people than before. 

"I lost." She said softly before disappearing, Duan Ling Tian wanted to say something but said nothing in the end. but he froze when he saw a handsome man appear in front of Ji Yao, blocking her path.

"remove your face cloth," he ordered calmly, Ji Yao stepped backward. She had almost run into this guy when he appeared, but she stepped back while on guard. she knew who this was, a follower of the crown prince of the Razer Moon Empire. He was a saint, but her master was a Saint King.

"I will have to refuse." She said calmly, to which the man snorted before reaching forward to take her face cloth off by force. Ji Yao tried to move, but the pressure of a saint held her still, allowing him to easily remove the cloth, giving him the chance to look at the stunning beauty. for a moment, he licked his lips, charmed by her beauty, 

"The crown prince shall reward me 'cause I deliver you to him." He said with a cold smile, this sect was powerful and all. but did it have the right to face the royal family over a disciple? Duan Ling Tian who saw this was about to step forward, as he was partly to blame as his quake qi was what led to her face cloth flying off.

"Hold it..." within the crowd, Ling Han who was being eyed by a bunch of females as if he was a treasure said calmly. the celestial deer, who was now in his human form and had a face full of rage was about to stand up. how could he sit here and watch his daughter being mistreated like this? but at my words, he stood and watched as a powerful aura came from within the sect.

Slowly, the sect master of the Seizing Moon sect appeared. A level 3 Saint King, went on to wave his hands, causing Ji Yao to appear at her side.

"... senior, are you sure about this?" the Saint Asked calmly, 

"leave, we would not stand for such actions." He said coldly, the Saint sneered slightly, knowing that once the crown prince set his eyes on a beauty, that said beauty was bound to fall in his hand one way or another. this sect... well, it was bound to fall.

"Such balls," I said softly, causing the Saint's head to snap toward me. When everyone was as quiet as could be, even if I said something in a low voice, he heard it as if he was next to me. I was too used to speaking my mind, but I didn't care

"What did you say brat?" the Saint asked with narrowed eyes

"Brat? interesting." I said softly while eating the ice cream in my hands. seeing this the saint was annoyed and shot his pressure on me.... which I ignored, but my ice cream on the other hand fell to the ground. I couldn't help but freeze while looking at the ground, but this only annoyed the saint, he reached out to grab me but I spoke at that moment.

"Slap him," I said coldly, the next moment, a hard slap landed across the Saint, knocking all of his teeth out of his mouth. the Saint fell to the ground, head dizzy and confused about what was happening.

My eyes glowed, while was picked up by Ling Mei who brought me next to the Saint who was looking at his teeth.

"There are many things in this word I hate... you wasted my sweet. I can only eat these 3 times a day. this was the last one for the day, and you wasted it. let's not forget how you had the nerves to touch my subordinate's daughter." I said coldly,

"Who are you." the Saint asked coming back to reality, with cold eyes he stood up. he was the follower of the crown prince, how dared anyone hurt him?

"Did I allow you to speak?" Out of rage, my eyes glowed with a bright blue color. instantly, the man's ability to speak was cripple. his mouth disappeared, causing his eyes to widen before he held the place where his mouth used to be, but there was only skin.

Horrified, he began to make crying sounds, but this only annoyed Ling Han. can't this guy shut up while he lashed out his rage?

"SHUT UP!" I said coldly, at that, he lost all power to make a sound. from physical to mental, he was quiet. his head was quiet, his footsteps were quiet, and no matter how much he breathed through his nose to try and make a sound, nothing was heard.

"I have never been this annoyed before... Do you work for the crown prince? curse the crown prince and his whole bloodline and allies anyone remotely close to him for the past 1,000 years. Have them suffer the curse." I said coldly, to which Ling Mei bowed slightly

"Might I know the type of curse?" She asked respectfully, to which I shrugged as I didn't care much.

"Understood..." Ling Mei's eyes flashed slightly, this was the first time her young master was ever angry... how dared these lower lifeforms enrage her young master? so this curse had to be harsh.

"As of this moment, the crown prince's bloodline and anyone who had remotely been allies within has been cursed. Endless Hunger, Mouthless, Tongue of Truth, Unending Itch, Blindness, zero body and mental limitation." She said softly, and instantly, the Saint before them panicked 

for one he was blind, his spiritual sense, and even the 5 senses could no longer be used to sense the outside world. he was completely blinded, at the same time he felt this itch that only grew. but his body didn't have limiters.

one should know everything and everyone has limiters. even Ling Han, Ling Han had tried to create a technique that could remove these limiters, allowing one to use their full power. without a limiter, you would have a scene that was shown here. the Saint not knowing how to control his power, causing his nails to dig into his flesh. but even as the Saint felt this, he didn't stop itching, the itch didn't feel as if it would stop unless he reached down to the bone.

But he was also hungry, but how could he eat without a mouth? Ling Mei waved her hand, sending this Saint away to suffer elsewhere. how could she allow her young master to watch such a thing?

"... I want to go back home," I said with an annoyed look, to which Ling Mei nodded before looking towards Ji Kai.

"you stay with your daughter and come back when you want... if you need help, you remember you're mine. If I have to bring you back to life, you will be punished." I said before me and Ling Mei disappeared, leaving Ji Kai bowing.

"..." Once we disappeared, Ji Kai looked over towards his daughter, who was looking back at him with shock and confusion written all over her eyes...
