Martial Spirit World [Old Version]

Prologue:

"I have everything in life that every great man before me had wished for, but was never able to attain." Surrounded by the gold and pieces of jewelry that he had collected, Wang Xue (Blood) who was more known with the name of Bloodbath Monarch lay down on the cold floor.

The stars were beautiful to look at tonight, as he gazed upon the beauty of those celestial bodies through the collapsing ceiling of the Great Phoenix Empire Treasury a sudden epiphany appeared in his mind.

"This scene would have been perfect if I something to drink with me… oh and some street foods that I used to buy from old Gong." A weak laughed escape from his quivering lips "Also it would be rather pleasant if your old faces were not blocking the view."

Pah

Right after he said those words, a loud and crisp sound of his face being slapped across the face echoed in the whole treasury.

He gave out a groan and started coughing out blood from the force of that slap that he had just receive. His life was on the very verge of wilting away, but the five people who were inside with him in the treasury were not letting die that easily.

They gave him a pill to be swallowed which sealed all 12 main channels where the spiritual energy flows and made the flow of the 8 minor channels go in reverse, a sharp pain assailed Wang Xue's entire body.

"You must be very familiar to what kind of pill I just made you swallow, aren't you Wang Xue?" One of the old men who fed him said in a solemn voice. Forcing Wang Xue to look at him on the face, that old man spat at his face then said: "Know your sin, and take it with you to the underworld."

A laughed suddenly came from Wang Xue, he gave that wrinkly old man a look of ridicule then spat back at him before saying "I don't know what sin you're talking about old man you must be going senile, but I do know what that pill is, I am sure that I once use that pill to kill a lowlife scumbag from some lowly province…"

Pah

A slap met with his face once again causing him to cough off more blood.

"Stop playing dumb Wang Xue, you killed my son and tortured him for a full 3 days before you stop." Pain expression started appearing on the old man's face when he thought about how his child was tortured and killed, it wasn't only him but the others as well.

They were all people that had someone or something taken away from them by Wang Xue the bloodbath monarch, some had their loved ones killed some had his entire clan annihilated and another had his burn down on the ground.

The lost it from him and now they were planning to it all back by making him suffer, they had lived for a long time and this very event was the time that they were most delighted. They had defeated him at long last and the only that they can finally do was to make him suffer for eternity by burning his soul.

But when their happiness reached its highest peak the sound of something cracking and breaking down started sounding echoing from above their heads. All 5 of these elderly men raised their heads and the moment that they did their pupils all shrunk and became dilapidated.

"W-what is that?" One of them said with his lips continuously quivering from fear.

Not only him but all of them was the same. The Phoenix Empire was a type of Celestial Empire, an empire that was said to be able to rise from the ashes of destruction and become even stronger than it had been before.

However this time it was not facing a normal calamity, it was not a universal phenomenon and it wasn't a war waged to them it was something else entirely.

As the sky crumbled from some unknown force a crazed laugh came out of Wang Xue's almost dead body.

The five old men notice this and immediately they grabbed him by the neck and started questioning him "What is this Wang Xue, are you planning on destroying the wheel of reincarnation in this dimension? Stop this foolishness, you will kill and rob the innocent life of this world the right to have another life."

Hearing what had been said to him Wang Xue stop his laugh and became quiet for a moment, but even before the others could feel relieve an even crazier laugh came out of Wang Xue's mouth.

The 5 old men felt their heart was being squished by some hand, then he finally said something "When did you even start thinking of other people? Ha Ha Ha, you all had killed… much innocent life even… before this so why are you feeling sympathy now?

"'Coughed'… agh" Wang Xue groaned from pain but still forced himself to speak "All of you had killed far too many, and even now you try to… find ways to live by begging for it… but it seems like yo… you have changed hehe, so don't worry no innocent lives will be lost today."

The 5 old men smiled and almost wanted to laugh out loud when they heard him say those words, but before they could even celebrate the sound of the sky completely shattering and falling down the sky reverberated in that dimension.

As this happens Wang Xue, who was hailed as the cruelest and bloody person in 3 dimensions said his final words in silent while being held by the neck and those words were "I already took care of that… hehe ."

That day, the sky fell from the up above and shattered the dimension. A cataclysm had been experienced in the dimension of the Phoenix Empire, one of the most powerful Celestial Empire was gone just like that.

Everybody that had lost their lives in that world will not be able to find salvation and go through reincarnation, all of the souls that's present in the dimension when the cataclysm were all shattered whether it be those old monsters or the weak peasants' everyone was the same.

All was turned to nothing, that is for one little speck of light that floated in the middle of the abyss.

**

When Wang Xue regained his consciousness he felt his body was brain hurting and felt like it was being pressed down by a huge mountain. His entire body was hurting, from his skin down to his bone marrow his entire body was hurting.

"Is this the flames of the underworld that will torment me for eternity?"

Wang Xue's mind had already registered that he was already dead, but the flimsy breathing that he had was the only that says otherwise. He didn't know how long but after a while Wang Xue was finally able to open his eyes with a struggle, only to find out that he was actually inside a coffin.

Is this a coffin? Where am I? Wang Xue was depressed, it seems like he was truly dead.

But then as like a jolt of electricity descended upon his body, Wang Xue's mind was suddenly flooded by foreign memories that he had never seen before.

Only after a while did he finally finish going through all of his memories. He was apparently in the body of some youth called Wang Jia (loved by everyone) who lived in the Willow State located at the edge of the Jade Province, accompanied by a beautiful young girl named Li Xiu who was his bride to be.

The two of them leads a peaceful life, Wang Jia took care of placing food in the table by taking various jobs while Li Xiu took care of the house. All was going well for them Wang Jia was young only at the age of fifteen and Li Xiu was fourteen, even with their frugal life they both lived happily.

That is until Li Xiu encountered an old woman who she helped by chance by giving her out directions. The old woman was thankful of her, so she tried thanking her by offering her the chance to awaken the Martial Spirit.

Li Xiu didn't want to do it at first because she already knew that she didn't have any kind of martial spirit to speak off. But because of the old woman's insistence Li Xiu eventually gave in and humored the old woman's offer.

But when Li Xiu went ahead to check if she did have a Martial Spirit, a worldly phenomenon appeared phoenixes descended from the heaven and circled around the land before finally entering Li Xiu's body through her Jing and Mai that was located on the forehead.

The old woman was delighted by this, and after she saw this worldly phenomenon the old woman revealed herself as someone from the "Azure Dragon Academy". She said that she had been searching for Li Xiu after receiving divination from the heavens that a genius would be born here.

Wang Jia was delighted when he heard of this, the Azure Dragon Academy has a prestigious reputation in the whole Azure Province as one most prestigious schools on the azure province. But Li Xiu didn't want to go train in the martial path.

She didn't want to abandon her peaceful life in the Willow State goes off a different place, she only wanted to live peacefully. Wang Jia felt warm in his heart when he heard those words from her, he didn't want to force in doing something so both of them declined the offer of the old woman.

The old woman was rather understanding of their decision and left the two of them on their own accord, the both of them continued their peaceful life as nothing happened that is until tragedy struck, Wang Jia became involved in an incident that cost him his life.

This was the last memories of 'Wang Jia'. After seeing this memories, Wang Xue didn't know whether to laugh or cry from this little fairytale that he saw "These two kids were too naïve, it seems like he was killed by that old hag to get his woman, if I am correct that old woman should've appeared after 'Wang Jia' died."

Wang Xue had seen many things through his past life and the most thing that he saw would be people who wield great power will use any means to achieve their own goal no matter how dirty it may be.

"But that is not my problem anymore, I don't have any emotions attach to that woman nor do want anything to do with her. My priority is to first get out of here and from there will I only think things of what is my goal in the future."

He tried sensing the spiritual energy of the world and focus it in his Jing and Mai, this body had never trained in the martial path nor did Wang Jia ever tried to connect a path to the spirit realm and form a connection with the martial spirit that was dormant in him.

Wang Xue was also not doing that. A Martial Spirit is something that's connected through the soul, which means Wang Xue's previous Martial Spirit may still hold that connection with him.

As he tried delving deeper on his Jiang and Mai, Wang Xue notices something was off in his Spirit Lake. Normal people have one Spirit Lake located in their sea of consciousness, but when Wang Xue saw his Spirit Lake it was not just one but three and it even seems like another lake is still possible to acquire.

Seeing this Wang Xue became ecstatic from excitement. If I have this many Spirit Lake does that mean I can have more than one Martial Spirit? I have seen people will with dual Martial Spirit but no one with three.

Even with his experience Wang Xue had never seen something like this before, then as he was celebrating he saw a Martial Spirit was actually already soaked in the bottom of one of the lake.

Seeing this, his curiosity peaked so he went over there to check it out. Then as he gazed down below that lake, Wang Xue saw a coiled up little Serpent, no it was not a serpent but a little Dragon coiled up in a golden nine-layer pagoda.

The Dragon was azure in color and it had long whiskers that continuously swayed with the water. The pagoda was gold and didn't have that much design but if one look close enough the whole golden pagoda was actually surrounded by an ancient text that he cannot read.

Wang Xue wanted to go closer and even dive down the lake but when he was not able to move closer 50 meters from the Spirit Lake's surface.

Wang Xue was irritated by this fact, but even after trying for an hour he was still not able to move any closer than that "This is really bothersome, I want to check that text and even check out that Dragon but it seems like it is currently impossible."

Without any other choice, Wang Xue left it alone. He then started opening the pathway of his mind to the spirit realm. Then, as he opened the gate of spirits, a strong electrical current entered his body when this happened Wang Xue felt excitement surging through his body.

"My partner is waiting for me." With his eyes full of anticipation he entered the spirit realm to find his partner.
