Prologue (1)

Before the city of glory was destroyed, an ordinary thirteen-year-old boy, destined to be a failure, left the city in search of more strength. 

Chu Qing Han.

No family, no friends, and no talent. Only with a red soul realm struggling to find objects that could help you in your cultivation.

Aimless, and without sufficient knowledge, he had his way by following the safest paths found for himself. On this trip that he thought was a one-way trip, several encounters with demon beasts nearly took his life. But from up there, there seemed to be someone who was keeping him from dying. 

So he continued on his way for several years. His strength also increased as his experience improved. There were several moments when he came face to face with death, but something always happened at the right moment and freed him from his decided fate.

Until one day he arrived at a place where he was surprised to see humans walking everywhere. Unlike the humans in Glory City, the humans here were very thin and weak from lack of enough food.

Taking advantage of his experience, he covered himself with a full-length black cloak and began looking for information about this place.

It seemed to be called the 'Toxic Forest'. A place where the power system was completely different from what he knew. Here, they learned the famous...Alchemy!!

Yes, everyone who sought to live better here would become an alchemist or a master of poisons.

The two were divided into 7 kingdoms.

 (Apprentice Alchemist)

(Beginner Alchemist)

 (Higher Alchemist)

 (Efficient Alchemist)

(Skilled Alchemist)

(Perfect Alchemist)

(Quasi-Royal Alchemist)

Each of these realms were divided into 7 stars. With 1 star being lower grade and 7 stars being higher grade. Each Alchemist also had a Bronze plaque on his chest with his Alchemist level.

The poison masters were also divided in the same way, but they didn't have as much honor as the alchemists.

The current leader of the toxic forest was a perfect alchemist and master of poisons. However, he was currently at the end of his life and could no longer make pills or poisons. So he announced that he would be looking for a disciple to inherit his knowledge in both.

Of course, Chu Qing Han was still unaware of this but found that the place was getting more and more agitated as the days passed.

Chu Qing Han lived in this place for a few months in order to learn more about it. And within a few months he realized that demon beast attacks were much more frequent than in the city of glory. Food here was also scarce and sometimes used as a bargaining chip for items that cannot be bought with cash alone.

The food here was more valuable than any other item. Chu Qing Han had a lot in store for his storage ring, but this was something he couldn't casually spend. So he chose to remain discreet.

After nearly a year of living there, Chu Qing Han had already started his life as a resident of the Toxic Forest. Of course, he also began to learn alchemy from the few unfinished books that were available to the current man.

Soon, he discovered an enormous talent for alchemy. In just over two years he had already become a High Alchemist and was officially named an alchemy genius.

In this, the current leader of the Toxic Forest who was still alive found out about Chu Qing Han. Knowing there wasn't much time left to go on living, he accepted him as a disciple behind closed doors.

On this day, Chu Qing Han entered the alchemy room and did not leave until two years had passed. His master had died with a smile after having a good disciple at the end of his life. Chu Qing Han also came out looking extremely different from when he entered.

Whether in your temperament, physique, or aura. Everything about him had undergone a major transformation. The knowledge of someone who had lived hundreds if years was now in his mind just waiting to be put into practice.

He entered as a High level alchemist and left as a perfect alchemist after two years. This was your biggest change.

Various pills and herbs that he was previously unaware of were proving to be extremely effective for various uses he could not even have imagined.

Now, with his level increasing he has also managed to increase his strength reaching the rank of black gold in less than five years. He was a genius Alchemist here in the toxic forest at just 18 years old, and would be considered a cultivation genius in Glory City if he were still there.

But he wasn't content with just that. So, he too embarked on the path of poisons!

With his already comprehensive knowledge of herbs and their effects, his path to a poison master was partially paved so it wasn't that difficult.

At the age of twenty, Chu Qing Han has successfully invaded the highest post in Glory City, reaching Legend rank! Even so, he was a demon Spiritualist without a demon spirit to match his current strength. So he started training his body until he found a spirit that matched his requirements.

5 years later.

At the age of 25 Chu Qing Han came out of the Toxic Forest. He has made no friends or acquaintances for this time. Knowing that his parting was inevitable, he simply left quietly without warning anyone.

His alchemy level reached the height of the Toxic Forest reaching the 'Almost-Royal' realm. His cultivation has also reached the Legend rank of three stars.

With a wanderer, Chu Qing Han went out into the night. His fate being one of the places described in some Toxic Forest books. 'The Spiritual Gulf'.

More specifically, he wanted to find a certain place that is close to the Spirit Gulf. In a Toxic Forest book that was written in an ancient language, Chu Qing Han discovered that there was a place where a Celestial liquid was created naturally. It is said that a glass of this liquid was enough for an ordinary person to have his talent multiplied several times, reaching the limit of mundane talent. 

Chu Qing Han still didn't know if it was true, but he wouldn't risk missing out on a great opportunity that fell into his hands like that. Besides, didn't he leave Glory City just for that? Increase your talent and cultivation? What would he have to fear then?

Six months later...

Chu Qing Han was standing looking at a large gorge where a tree over 500 meters high and 70 meters long strongly believed. The place was thickly covered in mist and fog, along with the bone-chilling cold of anyone. Even Chu Qing Han was feeling cold with his Legend rank body.

Finally making up his mind, Chu Qing Han jumped onto a branch of the huge tree and started down. The cold from before started to fade as the energy inside seemed to be getting stronger and stronger. This gave Chu Qing Han some hope of finding the Celestial Liquid he's been looking for so much.

But inside he was already grateful for being in this place. Even though there was no liquid at all, just the energy in this place was more than enough to train here for a few years and get even stronger.

Descending even further, Chu Qing Han looked like a monkey jumping from branch to branch. His body weighing over 150 pounds didn't even make the branches sway even with the force and inertia of his heavy jumps.

Gradually, Chu Qing Han began to notice that the energy was getting thicker as he descended. Several strange plants also began to appear before his eyes, but it was still difficult to notice everything around him.

This place was extremely strange, and it revealed mysteries from every corner, making Chu Qing Han want to explore it until the end dawned in his heart.

This canyon passage was full of twists and turns. Chu Qing Han's every step was taken with great care and patience.

Not long after Chu Qing Han arrived at the foot of the huge tree, he noticed complete darkness before him.

However, this was not a problem. With a snap of his fingers, a small flare of burning flames appeared in Chu Qing Han's hand.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​—​​​​​​​​—​​​​​​​​​​​​​—​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​—​​​​​​​​​​​—​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​—​​​​​​​​​— the entire cave instantly became bright as the entire cavern, allowing him to continue walking slowly.

Feeling that the energy here was much, much thicker than up there, Chu Qing Han finally smiled upon knowing that the story was true. There really was a liquid here that could completely transform a person.

And as he imagined, shortly after taking a few long steps forward he noticed a huge pool with a bright white liquid emanating pure energy from the heavens.

Chu Qing Han's face turned red and he was extremely excited.

He never imagined his luck would be so good. He had left Glory City, suffered along the way, overcame his adversities, increased his strength and knowledge, and finally found what he was looking for! This was not due to his luck, but his willpower to continue on his path. Of that he was very proud of himself!

...

50 years later!

At the top of the gorge, a young man of 17 or 18 was standing looking at the horizon. Black hair fluttering in the cold wind, eyes sharp as a sword, and cold expression without emotion. In his hands were 7 rings of different colors and a black longsword almost his size.

Chu Qing Han returned to his youthful appearance after getting a technique inside the gorge and with the help of Celestial energy. He also found a room where several corpses with energies still present in their bodies were. He obtained the various storage rings they possessed and also discovered that this world was not that simple.

The Legendary realm was not the limit! The realm of the soul is not limited to its color! And this current realm was nothing more than one of the weakest of all existing ones.

With the help of techniques obtained from the corpses, one caught his attention. This technique would allow him to keep his youthful appearance forever. Along with that, he could also keep four spirits with divine bloodlines in his body.

The energy accumulated in your body would also temper your body from the outside in. Furthermore, even if he was not cultivating, he would continue to absorb all the purest energy contained in the atmosphere.

This absorbed energy would be stored in your soul realm for future difficult discovery.

Looking at the endless horizon in his view, Chu Qing Han's body suddenly created two jade green wings on his back, his eyes turned fully green along with black marks appearing and his face. He then flapped his wings and flew away leaving the canyon completely empty behind.
