Chapter 2: Unveiling the Path

Yao Long immersed himself in the bustling city life of the Great Zhou Empire, a world where the air was charged with the essence of Genesis Qi. The Great Zhou Academy became his haven, a place where he could refine his newfound powers and unravel the secrets of cultivation.

Accepting the ROB's newbie gift, Yao Long delved into the intricacies of the system. His inventory now held the Genesis Gathering Jade, a rare gem that amplified cultivation progress, and various other treasures. The system's functions—inventory, shop, recycling, and war pet—became his tools for progression.

With the experience points gained from cultivating the Eternal Tribulations Soul Art, Ancient Absorption Art, and Demon Blood Art, Yao Long focused on enhancing his Genesis Qi Realm, Body Cultivation, and Soul Cultivation. He felt the surge of power as his abilities grew, marking the beginning of his ascent in the cultivation world.

Yao Long decided to donate a portion of his wealth to the Great Zhou Academy, aiming to establish a positive reputation and build connections within the cultivation community. As news of his generosity spread, whispers of the mysterious newcomer echoed through the academy.

While solidifying his place in the academy, Yao Long noticed the presence of familiar characters from the 'Yuan Zun' novel. Zhou Yuan, the original protagonist, caught his attention. Yao Long observed Zhou Yuan's interactions with Su Youwei, Gu Hongyi, and others, gaining insights into the dynamics of their relationships.

Intrigued by the cultivation techniques taught at the academy, Yao Long delved into the Genesis Qi Cultivation, focusing on the Eight Great Meridians Awakening Realm. His Qi Palace expanded, and the Genesis Qi stars multiplied as he diligently practiced the foundational techniques.

As he honed his skills, Yao Long contemplated his next move. The system's war pet function intrigued him, and he decided to summon three servants using Raizel's power. These servants, three realms above him, became extensions of his will, ready to explore the outside world and increase their realms.

Yao Long, now in control of his destiny, sent his blood servants on a mission to gather information, face challenges, and enhance their cultivation. Their loyalty to him was unwavering, viewing him as a god-like figure.

While his servants embarked on their quest, Yao Long continued his cultivation journey within the academy. His encounters with Zhou Yuan and the others deepened, forming bonds that would play a crucial role in the challenges ahead.

Amidst the cultivation and exploration, whispers of the Sacred Race's dominance reached Yao Long's ears. The Sacred Race, an ancient and formidable force, held sway over four out of the nine main heavens in the Tianyuan World. Their innate ability, the Sacred Pupil, bestowed them with special powers and marked them as a force to be reckoned with.

The mysteries surrounding the Sacred Race intrigued Yao Long, planting the seeds of curiosity and caution within him. As he cultivated and navigated the complexities of the Heaven Genesis World, Yao Long sensed that the journey ahead held both challenges and revelations.

Chapter 2 marked the unfolding of Yao Long's path—a path intertwined with cultivation, alliances, and the looming presence of a powerful adversary. The Great Zhou Empire, with its secrets and formidable inhabitants, became the canvas for Yao Long's rebirth and the stage for the extraordinary tale that lay ahead.
