Chapter 22

[Lower Realm 16]

Lin Ming look up to the skies to see the projection where the great competition is occuring.

He knew his talents aren't even on par to those weaker people who participate in the mystic realm. He was amaze to see the battles this geniuses do. They show no mercy nor pity to their enemies.

But the children getting mercilessly slaughtered is on a whole another level for him. His eyes widen from horror when he saw that there are children participating and then they were killed without remorse!

He wanted to puke. Everything he ate felt like shit because of that. He can't bear to see that type of scene. His stomach churn and felt it was like spinning.

He closes his eyes to calm himself down and focus on the real battle and not to the slaughter. Even if the children had nothing to do with him, it just didn't sit right with him. They are young yet, they can't even explore the outside world and had to experience that kind of pain. But atleast, they can eternally rest instead.

He focused on the battle of the geniuses. Their decisiveness struck a chord in his heart, he burn their styles and fighting ability in his mind. Trying to memorize it and comprehend their attacks.

Sword light beam and spear light shot out, they exchange every attack they had in their arsenal. He gripped the spear tightly in his hands. He circulated the inner energy inside his body according to the manual.

He wanted to watch more but the more important thing for him to do is to get strong quickly. He gaze at the tower and walk towards and entered it.

He found this place by chance and this tower is the 3rd time he is going to climb it. Just like in the original, he found the witch tower too.

He recieved the recognition of the witches because of this and they now calling him the 'Messiah'. He didn't understand their logic but what they know is that he is going to save them according to their 'prophecy'.

He sighed thinking about the burden their leader put on his shoulders but he smiled thinking about the happy smiles the children had in the village.

He swore to protect those smiles and later on avenge the children who knew nothing. Lin Ming is still the same, the same kind person in the original. But ruthless to his enemies.

A young woman wearing pale blue dress, she was tall with a veil covering her face. From her head to her toes, she naturally exuded an icy temperament as if she were a blossoming snow lotus.

This woman only looked to be just early twenty years old, but her cultivation was at the middle Xiantian realm. Not just that, but her appearance was alluring and her figure outstanding. From top to bottom she emitted a chilling energy, as if no one could ever dare to sully her.

This young woman is Mu Bingyun, the twin sister of Mu Qianyu and the future Saintess of the Blue Luan Faction. She held the hand of girl whose deep blue eyes are sparkling as she look up to her. Idolization and fascination can be seen in her bright eyes.

This girl is one of the talented children that have been abducted to participate. She is lucky, she survived because Mu Bingyun didn't take her life and spine but protected her from the people that wants to kill her.

The little girl saw Mu Bingyun fighting and crushing the bad guys with her ice blue sword alone. And she developed a deep feeling for her not only because she saved her but also because of she is beautiful and strong.

Mu Bingyun didn't know why she protected this little girl but she felt satisfied seeing her sparkling eyes. She felt an unknown attraction towards this little girl.

What she know is that this girl had the same aura she had. She's like a bud of flower in the snowy field, beautiful but lonely. Pretty but won't last long.

She didn't know that this little girl had the Spiritual Yin Meridians, a type of the so called divine body that is a burden for her since her lifespan is greatly shorten but she is a perfect cauldron for dual cultivation. That's why she have the same aura Mu Bingyun had. Her natural affinity towards Ice is high, comparable to an ordinary Ice Phoenix.

No one knew this information that's why she isn't endanger but if someone discovered it. Definitely, she will be betrothed to someone immediately. If she can survive, that is.

And if Xiaosheng found out about her Divine Body. Who knows what she will experience or what will happen to her if that ever happened.
