Chapter 1:Fei Yu

In the vast reaches of the universe there was a tiny world which was entirely blue in colour.This was the Blue Spirit World,one of the minor worlds among countless other worlds.In this world there are countless of cultivators that roam the skies and the earth.Countless ancient sects and families compete for supremacy.Yet the dreams of millions of youths is to become an immortal.

Qi Condensation,Foundation Establishment,Core Formation,Nascent Soul,Void transformation,Dao Seeking and Immortal Ascension.These were the 7 realms known to the hundreds of thousands of mortal worlds and once one reaches the stage of immortal ascention then one will ascend to the immortal world and live for eternity.But there aren't only immortals in this world there are the demons in hell as well.

But treading on the path to immortality needs talent and talent comes from the roots.If one has mortal roots then they will never be able to go past the 9th level of Qi Condensation.That's why one must possess spiritual roots in order to cultivate.

Fei Yu was an old man in a backwater country in a desolate corner of the world.When he was young and practiced sword with his father he had fallen into love with the sword instantly.Ever since then his only dream in life was to roam the world with his sword in hand and reach the end of the grand dao.

For that he practiced with the sword every day ever since he was 6 years old.But reality struck him when he was 8 years old and took the assesment for his roots in the Fei Clan anuual assesment.He turned out to have mortal roots which means he was unable to cultivate any further than the 9th level of Qi Condensation.

Fei Yu couldn't accept this and cultivated very eagerly.He thought he could bring forth some kind of miracle.Like this many years passed.Now Fei Yu was already 60 years old,he reached the 9th level of Qi Condensation when he was only 20 years old.Even though he might not compare to those geniuses from those sects but he was still decent.But after that till now he never managed to breakthrough into Foundation Establishment.

He was already a grandmaster of the sword in the mortal world but compared to those cultivators he couldn't hold a candle.

It was a day unlike any other normal day.On this day in the Qing Yun Tavern at evening Fei Yu was drinking wine nonstop.Beside him on the floor lay about more than 10 gourds of wine.Upon seeing this messy state the man sitting opposite to him sarcastically said,''Are you sure you are gonna be okay Old Fei?Because at this rate you might end up squandering your whole wealth on just wine.''

On hearing this Fei Yu laughed heartily and said,''Old pal Zhang why fuss over such little money?Life is so short just enjoy it,Hahaha.Here take 10 more spirit stones and gimme another 5 gourds of wine.''

That's right this man here was called Zhang Yunsheng and he was the owner of Qing Yun Tavern.He was also best friends with Fei Yu.

Zhang Yunsheng shook his head and laughingly said,''You never change do you?you were like this 30 years ago and you are like this now as well.Sometimes I really wonder how u can be so carefree''

Fei Yu suddenly stopped laughing and said in self-derision,''Old Zhang being carefree in life comes with it's own cost.Being carefree means you have no responsibilities and having no responsibilities is just a sign of weakness.''

Zhang Yunsheng's mood also became sad after hearing this and quickly comforted Fei Yu by saying.''It's ok,Old Fei.What can we we mortals do in front of the will of the heavens?In this world mortals like us are as insignificant as ants.Only by possessing spiritual roots can one vie for supremacy under the heavens.''

Fei Yu sighed upon hearing this and nodded while saying.''Yeah.you are right.''

Zhang Yunsheng suddenly tried to change the topic and said.''Old Fei do you know that currently in our Hollow Tree City theres been a gathering of geniuses?''

Fei Yu looked alarmed upon hearing this and asked,''Are you serious,Old Zhang?Quickly tell me who they are.''

Zhang Yunsheng excitedly said,''It's actually the top 4 core disciples of Origin Tree Sect,Hundred Battles Sect,Water Moon Sect and Willow Leaf Sect!They are named Qiu Yuansheng,Chu Yuan,Qing Mu and Ding Wutian respectively.Among them Qiu Yuansheng.Chu Yuan and Qing Mu all possess Earth spiritual roots and the last Ding Wutian possesses Heaven spiritual roots which is seen in one person among millions!It's said he is only 13 years old this year and already at the 9th level of Qi Condensation.''

Even Fei Yu sobered up after hearing this and asked with ashtonishment,''What!The rare heaven spiritual roots thats not seen even in a few hundreds of years is actually right in front of us and also a 13 year old 9th level Qi Condensation Cultivator!It's really hard to believe.''

Zhang Yunsheng said with glittering eyes.''If I could get accompanied with even one of them then i can expand my business by a lot!Hahaha.''

Fei Yu suddenly mocked him and said,''Give up your false hopes Old Zhang why would those haughty geniuses who only look up at the heavens even spare a glance at us down in the mud.Anyway Old Zhang it's time for me to go take a stroll at Black Wind Cliff.See ya later.''

Zhang Yunsheng suddenly snapped out of his dreams and looked at Fei Yu in scorn while saying.''How would you know,you old miser?Anyway lets leave it at that.Alright i will see you tomorrow again Old Fei.Goodbye.''

Fei Yu then casually strolled out of the tavern in a drunken state and started walking in the direction of Black Wind Cliff.

At that time Fei Yu didn't have a clue that this trip to the Black Wind Cliff this time might change his entire life.
