Kat and her friends are back and dealing with a big threat. They deal with lost and victories.

In the blink of an eye, another month had passed. Mo Wuji had failed to advance in cultivation and pill refining. The lack of immortal spiritual energy in this place rendered his cultivation futile.
Cultivating in the Undying World was a possibility, especially with the heaps of immortal crystals Mo Wuji had with him. However, there was a downside to this: the five elements were incomplete. At low levels of cultivation,the side effects of cultivating in such an environment would be minimal, whereas at high levels, doing so would interrupt the flow of his dao.
In addition to this, Mo Wuji had advanced to the level of Grand Luo Immortal in a short span of time. Even though he had not sensed any destabilisation in his fundamentals yet, it was not a bad time to take a step back and gather his thoughts instead of cultivating.
In these recent months, Mo Wuji had been rigorously conducting research on smithing. He possessed the book on Equipment Dao, as well as the Guide To Smithing and the Knowledge Of Smithing given to him by Xu Suren.
Mo Wuji had obtained the book on Equipment Dao long ago, but never had the time to study it. If not for the serious injuries he took this time around, in addition to the destruction of Da Huang, it was quite possible that he would never have researched smithing, as his goal for researching it was to restore Da Huang.
One thing that offered Mo Wuji some solace was that even though Lian Yingxian was a Grand Luo Immortal, she hadn’t caused any trouble after living here. Mo Wuji didn’t even seen her cultivate either. Every day, she would only assist Yu Cheng in cleaning the fish that Yu Jingfeng caught. Occasionally, she would also leave Divergent Immortal Village with Yu Jingfeng to trade and exchange goods.
Whenever Mo Wuji conducted his research on smithing, no one would ever bother him. It was almost as if they knew that immortals did not like to interact with mortals.
Due to his frequent refining of array flags, which bore some resemblances to smithing, Mo Wuji already possessed a strong foundation in smithing. The more complex array flags were arguably even harder to refine than some high grade immortal equipment. In addition to this, Master Pu Zi had imparted to him many smithing techniques in the Half Immortal Domain.
In actuality, as an immortal array master, Mo Wuji was very self-aware that if his smithing did not improve, his Array Dao would definitely be adversely affected.
In the Gods Tower, one Immortal Sealing Array could seal countless experts. After suffering in the shackles of the Immortal Sealing Array, Mo Wuji’s belief that he needed to rigorously research Array Dao was further fortified.
Within a month, Mo Wuji could refine and create Grade 4 immortal equipments. Although they were the simplest of that level, it did show that there was certain improvement.
Mo Wuji attributed much of his progress to Xu Suren, who gave him the the Guide To Smithing, and provided many valuable insights into smithing, which hastened his research tremendously. The most complex issues in smithing were all virtually explained by Xu Suren in the book of Equipment Dao. One could say that this book was even more precious than Grade 9 immortal equipment.
One day, while Mo Wuji was refining a Grade 5 immortal long sword, Yu Jingfeng, who usually did not disturb him, knocked on his door. Yu Jingfeng was a young man of good character and morals. After knowing that Jingfeng was the one who saved him, Mo Wuji had even considered accepting him as his disciple. However, Mo Wuji hesitated, as he did not know whether imparting techniques to Yu Jingfeng would benefit him or harm him instead.
After staying at Divergent Immortal Village for so long, Mo Wuji had begun to understand the lives of Yu Jingfeng and his grandfather. They could not cultivate to become immortals, but led fulfilling lives without any boring days, frequently encountering surprises in the Extreme Glade Sea.　　
If he allowed Yu Jingfeng to cultivate, it could very well disrupt the peace and balance in his life. Moreover, after he leaves the village, Yu Jingfeng might perish while gathering resources for cultivation. In comparison, leading a simple life may not have been that bad after all.
The good thing was that Yu Jingfeng had never inquired about the matter of immortal cultivation, which gave Mo Wuji time to take his mind off the issue, until this day, when Jingfeng had come to Mo Wuji’s doorstep.
"Jingfeng, you’re looking for see me?" Mo Wuji asked as he kept his half-refined long sword. At his current level of skill, abruptly ending the refinement of this long sword was equivalent to wasting the effort he had put into refining it to this point. This however, did not concern Mo Wuji as he had a vast amount of low grade smithing materials in his ring, much more than the amount of immortal herbs.
"Yes, brother, I have something that I’ve always wanted to speak to you about, but grandfather didn’t let me bother you for no reason, so I kept it to myself up till now. He is out with sister in law now, which is why I had the chance to come and talk to you in the first place," Jingfeng said in a flurry as he stood at the door.
"It’s only been a month, but you’ve grown quite a bit" Mo Wuji remarked as he invited Jingfeng in. Yu Cheng and Lian Yingxian were indeed not at home. Even though Jingfeng often said that he admired and idolised Mo Wuji, Wuji himself felt that the admiration was a result of Yu Cheng’s teachings.
Wuji no longer shrouded himself with the caution that he once did, as after such a long time, he felt that the differences between immortals and mortals were insignificant.
"Hey, I’m already 14, and seafaring helps me train my physique as well," Jingfeng replied as he earnestly rubbed his own head.
"Where have your grandfather and sister in law gone to?" Wuji asked as he gestured for Jingfeng to sit.
"They’ve gone to Extreme Glade City to get the Thousand Fusing Rice. It’s the harvesting season for it now," Jingfeng said without a second thought.
Mo Wuji knew about Extreme Glade City – In the region of the Extreme Glade Sea there were many villages similar to Divergent Immortal Village, between these villages, there needed to be a set location for the purpose of trade, which led to the formation of Extreme Glade City. Everyone in the villages would come here if they needed to buy anything, and the immortal energy in the air here was as scarce as it was in the other parts of the region.　　
Even though Ji Ke City was a City for mortals in name, there were some cultivators here as well, as the city was, in reality, co-inhabited by low level immortals and mortals. However, the immortals here were either talentless, or were severely limited in their ability to cultivate.
The Thousand Fusing Rice could only be planted in areas near Extreme Glade City, and was the rice ate by most of the regular beings. Every time harvesting season came, all the people living around Extreme Glade City would bring the unique produce from their respective villages and exchange them for Thousand Fusing Rice.
"Jingfeng, your sister in law is gorgeous, I don’t think there are many in this village who can compare to her beauty," Wuji suddenly said while grinning.
Perhaps having sensed Wuji’s relaxed disposition, Jingfeng eased into the conversation. At this point of time, he had completely forgotten that his grandfather once told him that Wuji was an immortal cultivator, and that there were taboos that they could not violate.
"Big brother, it’s not only Divergent Immortal Village, not anyone in Extreme Glade City could match up to my sister in law’s beauty. Have you perhaps fallen for her? But... she has no spiritual roots, it would be impossible for her to cultivate."
Mo Wuji hurriedly leapt to his own defence. "No no no, you’re overthinking, it was just a passing comment. Speaking of which, what happened to your elder brother?"
In his heart, Mo Wuji deeply admired Lian Yingxian, as he did not know how what cultivation technique she used, and what means she had to disguise her cultivation level. Had he not used his spiritual eye, he wouldn’t have been able to assess her cultivation level, which meant that from an outsider’s point of view, Lian Yingxian was a completely ordinary person, which added that much more credibility to the prowess of her concealment technique.
This was different from himself. Apart from a few top-notch cultivators, most cultivators would not be able to asses her cultivation level as he cultivated with the Immortal Mortal Technique, which was unique in that the more one cultivated in the technique, the more ordinary the user would seem.
A memory flashed across Jingfeng’s mind, and after a moment of silence, he said,
"10 years ago, when I was three, my brother came back from the sea and said he had felt some immortal spiritual energy. Afterwards, he sneaked out and went to Extreme Glade city to buy a few books about cultivation, and told me that he had discovered the hidden spiritual roots within him. However, my grandfather refused to even entertain the possibility of him becoming an cultivator, leaving him lost and helpless. He eventually married my sister in law under the insistence of my grandfather.
Less than 3 months after sister in law came, my brother left a letter behind and left the village to join a sect, stating that he had to become an cultivator no matter what. Another few years passed, and people in the village were saying that something bad had happened to my brother while he was out venturing. When the rumours proved to be true, my grandfather allowed sister in law to go home, even giving her the liberty to decide whether she would remarry or not. She has been very kind to us, often dropping by to visit us because she’s worried for grandfather."
"What about your parents?" Wuji asked.
Jingfeng got a little teary.
"Not long after I was born, they got into an accident at sea and never returned."
Mo Wuji sighed.
No matter how safe the Extreme Glade ocean was, it was still a sea in the immortal world, and seafarers would inexplicably face some form of danger.
"What happened to your aunt then? Has she always lived in Divergent Immortal Village? Was she older or younger than your brother?" Wuji asked.
In reality, Mo Wuji was only asking this much for one sole reason - to find out more about Lian Yingxian’s background and history. In his opinion, a Grand Luo immortal, even a genius at that, had to train for a few hundred years before achieving such prowess that Yingxian possessed.
Jingfeng grinned and chuckled, " Big brother, my sister in law is not even thirty yet, if you indeed have feelings for her, my grandfather would definitely approve, I would be happy if you married her!"
Wuji sneered in his mind.
He knew that it was not possible.
"We’ll talk more about his next time, don’t get the wrong idea. Before this, I even thought she was at least 40!"
Still forgetting the fact that Wuji was an immortal, Jingfeng hastily refuted.
"Impossible! What poor judgement you have big brother, my parents and her’s were the best of friends, when she was born, my parents even went to congratulate them!"
Wuji was taken aback by this fact, could it be possible that a person, not even at the age of thirty yet, could reach the later level of Grand Luo Immortal? Even with possession it would seem absurd.
"It must be a mistake on Jingfeng’s part," he thought to himself.
Wuji did not plan on inquiring further, and without even asking about her parents, he decided to change the subject.
"So, Jingfeng, what was it that you wanted to speak to me about?"
It was only at this moment Jingfeng recalled why he was here. Patting the back of his head, he revealed,
"Uhm.. It goes like this big brother, a month ago I caught a Red Herring, and today I went back to the place I caught it in search for more, but before I even got close, a blinding ray of white light rose from the depths of the ocean. Several white lights emerged, and an object shot out from within them, eventually landing in my boat."
While speaking, Jingfeng took out a bunch of broken pieces and passed them to Wuji.
"This is it," Jingfeng said.
Array flag? Mo Wuji knew what they were once he received the pieces from Jingfeng. These pieces were as old as time, and even Wuji didn’t know when they were made.

Once you start reading more you'll notice that they are completely different.
Alrighty now that we got that out the way, you can finally enjoy the book 🙂

Her flame burns brighter and hotter than the brightest star. 
Join Ariel on her journey of fire. She’ll meet some friends,make some enemies, experience love and embrace her true identity. You know, everyday teenager stuff.

With utmost enthusiasm, Lily invited Hao Ren to her place. The husky said that they needed proper planning to find a person, so she insisted on bringing Hao Ren to her home for dinner.
The dumb maiden made a blunder by going to Siberia instead of the city in the south. But her ability and will to survive in the wild was exceptional. After leaving the village, Lily found no rush to go to the south. While on the wrong way to the north, she frequently stopped to explore places that interested her. She would spend more time in one place if she found it fascinating. Due to these diversions, Lily had taken several years to reach Siberia.
For a werewolf maiden who came from a remote mountain village and had to suppress her true self, the journey in the wild was probably the happiest period of her life since birth.
Lily lived with a wolf pack and naturally remained far from the human world. There was a wooden cabin in the pine forest. A hunter used to stay there but was long gone at that point. There used to be other sporadic human settlements around the woods, but the snow had swallowed them all. Now, the cabin in the woods became a shelter for Lily.
The wolves had their place to stay around the wooden cabin. When Lily ordered them to dismiss, the beasts quickly disappeared into the woods. But Hao Ren could still sense their presence not far away as the wolf pack did not move more than 300 m away from the cabin. He could hear the wolves' growl in the wind occasionally. Lily pushed the door of the cabin open and invited her guest into the house.
The interior of the cabin was not what Hao Ren had imagined.
It looked old and even like it was about to collapse soon, but it was a different world inside the cabin—it was clean and tidy. Lily used animal skin as well as an old wooden board to seal the gaps in the wall, and planks to reinforce the rotten overhead beams. The hunter's hut was a very basic structure, divided into two partitions—the inner and external rooms. The inner room was used for food storage and living quarters, while the outer room was much like a kitchen stuffed with all kinds of clutter—a rusty ax, broken wheels, torn fur, and even an antique shotgun, the barrel of which had been rolled up like a ball of string. Apparently, it was the result of the husky using it as a hand exercise tool.
The clutter formed a small hill in the corner. Most of the stuff did not look like they belonged to the previous cabin owner. It seemed that they were more likely part of the husky's collection. Lily was a hoarder back then.
Lily noticed that Hao Ren's eyes were on the clutter in the corner. Instead of feeling embarrassed, she proudly said, "Oh, you've noticed that. That's my collection. Let me tell you, I rarely see people here, but a few people still pass by occasionally. These people usually carry all kinds of rare and interesting stuff with them. My wolf pack would monitor them from afar. When they spot anything interesting, they grab it from the humans and bring it back to me. But don't worry, I don't let them hurt those humans, just take some stuff from them."
Hao Ren finally understood what the wolf ambush earlier was all about. "The gray wolves were planning to rob me earlier?"
Lily scratched her head and put on a sly smile.
"I was almost robbed by a pack of wolves. Can you believe what just happened to me?" Hao Ren forced a smile. "They switched places and seemed to be in a formation. Did you teach them all of that?"
"It's the art of war. Do you know the art of war?" Lily began to boast. "There was a learned old man in our village. He told me that the art of war is a power tool. Zhuge Liang, the military strategist in the period of the Three Kingdoms, used stones to draw a formation and defeated 100,000 enemy troops. So I borrowed the comic version of the 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' from the old man."
While she spoke, Lily took out a thread-bound book, which looked old and worn. Years of usage had worn the book's cover out, and there was no way to tell which volume it was from the cover. It was one of Lily's treasured possessions. "I had to beg the old gentleman for a long time before he lent me his book... Oops!"
"What's wrong?" Hao Ren asked.
Lily cried, "When I ran away from the village, I forgot to return this book to him."
"You're only remembering it now?"
"Ah, after finding your friend, I can sneak back into the village and return the book while I'm on my way to the city," the husky maiden said before she set the matter aside. "Let's have something to eat. After fighting with you, I'm starving."
Hao Ren looked on as Lily made a fire with flint and dried grass in the pit at the center of the cabin. She then took out a beaten old iron pot, stuffed it with snow, and put it on the fire. Once the snow melted, they would have a pot of hot water. Air-dried bacon was hanging on the beam. Lily broke a few small pieces and threw them into the pot. Together with some beans and grains, which she took out of nowhere, she made a hot pot of meat porridge. Lily ran to the back of the house and dug out two frozen salmons. After letting them thaw by the fire, she put them on a skewer and grilled the fish on the fire.
Lily did everything so skilfully and quickly that it dazzled Hao Ren.
The dog who was used to spoon-feeding actually possessed survival skills.
"The brown bear that lives nearby gave me the fish. He's an expert in catching fish. So I always trade other food items that I've hunted for his fish," Lily said as she stirred the meat porridge with a long iron spoon. "But seasoning is hard to come by. There is a saltwater lake far from here, where I can get salt. There's nothing else other than that, so you have to get used to it."
While watching Lily preparing the dinner, something crossed Hao Ren's mind. He quietly took a packed item out of his Dimensional Pocket. "Why don't you try this?" he asked.
Curious, Lily took the pack in her hands. She pinched and sniffed it. "What is this? Is it edible?"
"Peel away the plastic wrap," Hao Ren said with a smile. "It's a pack of Spicy Sticks. You'll like it."
Lily cautiously fiddled with the packaging for a long time before she clumsily removed the wrap. A thick and pungent smell instantly drifted into her nostrils. The husky put a strip into her mouth. "It tastes like noodles. It's delicious!"
Sure enough, the love of Spicy Sticks was in her DNA.
In no time, Lily had finished half a pack of Spicy Sticks. She then suddenly stopped. "I have to save the rest. It can be used as a seasoning for the porridge."
"You can eat as much as you like. I have plenty," Hao Ren said and laughed.
Lily looked at Hao Ren curiously. "How did you conjure this thing up? Where have you hidden the things that you used to treat the wounded wolves? Do you know magic?"
"This is my ability," Hao Ren said. He knew that it was a period in Lily's life where he could easily fudge his way through. "Just as you can become a powerful half-wolf, half-human, I can conjure a variety of things."
"Can you conjure Zhuge Liang, the one who knows to execute the stone formation."
"I don't think you understand what I mean," Hao Ren said.
"What about Zhang Fei, the general? I want to see who's stronger between him and me."
"I don't think that's necessary. Needless to say, you are the strongest in history. Nobody could have done what you've done by swinging the stone column in the Temple of Athena like a propeller."
"Athena what?"
"You have many questions," Hao Ren said.
"Oh, then I should stop asking," Lily said, pursing her lips. But after a few seconds, she turned around again and asked, "What about the propeller?"
"Let's talk about our search plan, shall we?" Hao Ren said.
One had to watch out when chatting with the husky; she was highly divergent in conversations. Hao Ren should have remembered this. After all, he had known her for three years.
However, it was also easy to sway Lily back to the topic. The husky maiden flicked her ears and said, "Ah, finding someone. What kind of person do you want to find?" Lily asked.
"Someone just like us, a non-human," Hao Ren said. "I'm not sure where she is, but I only know that she's hibernating in a place where no human would ever go. The natural phenomena around her are abnormal."
As he spoke, Hao Ren tried to figure it out in his mind. According to the handwriting on the crepe, Vivian's last known activity in Siberia was a battle with the vengeful spirit 300 years ago. Her hibernation should have started not long after the combat. On the other hand, Lily was almost a hundred years old in the real world. Seventy of those years had been spent in the human world. Meanwhile, the Lily before him had not come into contact with human society."
When looking from this context, there was a considerable time gap of about 200 years.
Why is this so? Hao Ren wondered.
Did Vivian sleep for 200 years? Or was Lily wrong about her age? Or in that distorted space and time, history no longer followed the original time scale?"
All three scenarios were possible.
"Are you in a daze?" Lily asked.
Her voice jolted Hao Ren out of his thoughts. "Oh, ahem, ahem, I'm fine. Where were we? Oh, we were talking about her sleep."
"Sleep? Your friend has hypersomnia?" Lily asked, scratching her chin. "This snowfield doesn't seem like an ideal place to sleep."
"I think the sleep you're talking about is not what I mean," Hao Ren said, rubbing his forehead. "Never mind. It's a little difficult to explain it to you. I have her belongings here. Can you sniff her scent out?"


As a person who is down-to-earth as well as a good Samaritan, Hao Ren desires to live the rest of his life as a benevolent landlord. Stumbling into a curious yet mysterious lady, he began his journey of “collecting” abnormal and supernatural tenants. 
His life only became more chaotic when he receives a labor contract from “God”. Discover the many races, myths and worlds that lie beyond what humans define as normal! This bizzare fantasy full of fun is sure to bring you on a crazy rollercoaster of emotions!

TLDR: Like every end of a book, I will be taking a one week break and will resume posting on 17th September 2018.

Phew, once again, we have come to the end of yet another book! Oh god, when I first starting writing, I didn't expect me to take this long to reach this point! Linodo, your pacing is way to slow! Hahahaha! Well, what to do. As you may all expect, I am a novice writer trying to improve his writing skills along the way as I pen down a long webnovel. Thus, I have begun to experiment on changing my writing style slightly as I go along writing this book. I'm not sure if you all have noticed, Book 1 & 2 I had set myself a minimum chapter length of a thousand words. However, for Book 3, I started to challenge myself and set a minimum chapter length of a thousand and five hundred words. Of course, a lot of the chapters in Book 3 exceeded two thousand words unexpectedly due to that change. Hehe.

Another thing that you need to know about me is one day, I hope to gain the skills required to write a story, totally unrelated to Spirit Immortal, so that I can publish it legitimately. Right now, I believe that my writing skills are still not up to par (grammar, sentence structure and overall writing style) so please watch over me as I continue on this journey to improve myself. One day, I hope that I will be able to write that story and earn some income as a part-time writer!

Well, now that the bullshit chatter is out of the way, it's time for some real talk. Look, I'm not one to hype up my future book but honestly, I'm truly afraid of writing Book 4. Not to go into any spoilers, when I planned out the entire story of Spirit Immortal, Book 4 was the pivotal point of the entire story. I'm not sure how my audience, you guys, are going to take Book 4 since it is much different from the earlier books that I have written but you know what, I'm going to go for it anyway. Book 4 will be the hardest book that I will be writing thus far and I truly hope that you guys would enjoy it!

As always, thank you all for reading my story. I will continue to write and improve along the way so do forgive me for any mistakes that I make. Thank you all for your support!

Over a million years ago, the first human contracted with the first Spirit. Ever since then, Spirit use has become commonplace. Humans used Spirits to carry items and start fires. Eventually, even start wars. Thousands upon thousands of years past and one day, one human did the impossible. He transcended his mortality and ascended to the realm above.  

In the present day, the Frie Clan was once a great clan of the Himmel empire. However, a devastating battle ten years ago crippled the clan and their numbers dwindled. To make up for their loss, the upper echelons decided to adopt young orphans and nurture them to become a future pillar of the weakened clan. Shin was one of those orphans. 

Although picked up by the Frie Clan, not all is smooth sailing for Shin and the other orphans...

Dalam sekejap mata, sebulan lagi telah berlalu. Mo Wuji telah gagal untuk menaikkan kultivasi maupun jenjang pembuatan pilnya. Kurangnya energi spiritual immortal di tempat ini membuat kultivasinya menjadi sia-sia.
Berkultivasi di Dunia Kekal adalah suatu pilihan yang memungkinkan, terutama dengan tumpukan kristal immortal yang dimiliki Mo Wuji di sana. Namun, ada kerugian untuk ini: lima elemen di sana tidak lengkap. Pada level kultivasi yang rendah, efek samping dari kultivasi di lingkungan seperti itu akan minimal; sedangkan pada level tinggi, hal itu akan mengganggu aliran dari daonya.
Selain itu, Mo Wuji telah naik ke Tahap Grand Luo Immortal dalam kurun waktu singkat. Meskipun ia belum merasakan adanya ketidakstabilan dalam dasar daonya, tetapi itu bukan waktu yang buruk untuk mundur selangkah dan mengumpulkan seluruh pikirannya daripada berkultivasi.
Dalam beberapa bulan terakhir ini, Mo Wuji telah dengan keras melakukan penelitian tentang keterampilan pandai besi. Ia memiliki sebuah buku tentang Dao Peralatan, serta 'Panduan Pandai Besi' dan 'Pengetahuan tentang Pandai Besi' yang diberikan oleh Xu Suren kepadanya.
Mo Wuji telah mendapatkan buku tentang Dao Peralatan itu sejak lama, tetapi ia tak pernah punya waktu untuk mempelajarinya. Jika bukan karena cedera serius yang ia alami kali ini, selain karena penghancuran Da Huang, kemungkinan besar ia takkan pernah meneliti tentang keterampilan pandai besi, karena tujuannya dalam meneliti itu adalah mengembalikan Da Huang.
Satu hal yang dapat menghibur pada Mo Wuji adalah, meskipun Lian Yingxian merupakan seorang Grand Luo Immortal, tetapi dia tidak menyebabkan masalah setelah tinggal di sini. Mo Wuji bahkan tidak melihatnya berkultivasi. Setiap hari, dia hanya akan membantu Yu Cheng untuk membersihkan ikan yang ditangkap Yu Jingfeng. Kadang-kadang, dia juga akan meninggalkan Desa Immortal Divergent bersama Yu Jingfeng untuk berdagang dan menukarkan barang.
Kapanpun Mo Wuji melakukan penelitian tentang pandai besi, tak ada orang yang akan mengganggunya. Seolah-olah mereka tahu bahwa para kultivator immortal tidak suka berinteraksi dengan manusia biasa.
Karena ia sudah sering menempa bendera array, yang memiliki beberapa kemiripan dengan keterampilan pandai besi, Mo Wuji sudah memiliki fondasi yang kuat dalam keterampilan pandai besi. Bendera array yang lebih kompleks bisa dibilang lebih sulit untuk ditempa daripada beberapa alat immortal kelas tinggi. Selain itu, Master Pu Zi telah memberikan banyak teknik pandai besi kepadanya di Wilayah Half Immortal.
Pada kenyataannya, sebagai seorang Ahli Array Immortal, Mo Wuji sangat sadar bahwa jika kemampuan pandai besinya tidak membaik, maka Dao Arraynya pasti akan terpengaruh.
Di Menara Dewa, satu array penyegelan immortal bisa menyegel para ahli spiritual yang tak terhitung jumlahnya. Setelah menderita di dalam belenggu array penyegelan immortal, keyakinan Mo Wuji bahwa ia perlu meneliti Dao Array itu semakin diperkuat.
Dalam sebulan, Mo Wuji bisa menempa dan membuat alat immortal Kelas 4. Meskipun alat immortal yang dibuatnya adalah yang paling sederhana dari kelas itu, tetapi ini menunjukkan bahwa ada sebuah peningkatan tertentu.
Bagi Mo Wuji, sebagian besar kemajuannya ini terkait dengan Xu Suren, yang memberinya buku 'Panduan Pandai Besi' serta banyak wawasan berharga tentang pandai besi. Semua itu sangat mempercepat penelitiannya. Masalah yang paling kompleks dalam pandai besi semuanya hampir dijelaskan oleh Xu Suren dalam buku Dao Peralatan. Bisa dikatakan bahwa buku ini bahkan lebih berharga daripada alat immortal Kelas 9.
Suatu hari, ketika Mo Wuji sedang menempa sebuah pedang panjang immortal Kelas 5, Yu Jingfeng, yang biasanya tidak mengganggunya, tiba-tiba mengetuk pintunya. Yu Jingfeng adalah seorang pemuda yang memiliki karakter dan moral yang baik. Setelah mengetahui bahwa Yu Jingfeng adalah orang yang menyelamatkannya, Mo Wuji bahkan mempertimbangkan untuk menerimanya sebagai murid. Namun, Mo Wuji merasa ragu-ragu, karena ia tidak tahu apakah dengan memberikan teknik kultivasinya kepada Yu Jingfeng akan menguntungkan anak itu atau malah membahayakannya.
Setelah tinggal di Desa Immortal Divergent begitu lama, Mo Wuji mulai memahami kehidupan Yu Jingfeng dan kakeknya. Mereka tidak bisa berkultivasi untuk menjadi kultivator immortal. Sebaliknya, mereka menjalani kehidupan yang memuaskan tanpa hari-hari yang membosankan, dan sering menghadapi kejutan di Laut Extreme Glade.
Jika ia membuat Yu Jingfeng mampu berkultivasi, maka itu bisa sangat mengganggu kedamaian dan keseimbangan di dalam kehidupan Yu Jingfeng. Selain itu, setelah Yu Jingfeng meninggalkan desa, kemungkinan ia akan mati saat mengumpulkan sumber daya untuk kultivasi. Bila dibandingkan dengan itu, menjalani kehidupan yang sederhana mungkin tidak buruk.
Untungnya, Yu Jingfeng tidak pernah bertanya tentang masalah kultivasi immortal. Hal itu memberikan waktu kepada Mo Wuji untuk mengalihkan pikirannya dari masalah ini; sampai hari ini, ketika Yu Jingfeng datang ke depan pintu Mo Wuji.
"Jingfeng, kau mencariku?" Tanya Mo Wuji sambil menyimpan pedang panjangnya yang sudah setengah jadi. Pada tingkat keterampilannya saat ini, mengakhiri penempaan pedang panjang ini secara tiba-tiba sama saja dengan menyia-nyiakan upaya yang telah ia lakukan untuk menempanya sampai ke titik ini. Namun, itu tidak menjadi perhatian Mo Wuji, karena ia memiliki banyak sekali bahan material pandai besi kelas rendah di cincinnya, yang melebihi jumlah tanaman immortalnya.
"Ya, kakak. Aku punya sesuatu yang selalu ingin kubicarakan denganmu, tetapi kakek tidak membiarkanku untuk mengganggumu tanpa alasan, jadi aku menyimpannya sendiri sampai saat ini. Sekarang, kakek sedang keluar dengan kakak ipar, itu sebabnya aku punya kesempatan untuk datang dan berbicara denganmu," Kata Yu Jingfeng dalam kebingungan saat ia berdiri di depan pintu.
"Ini baru sebulan, tapi kau sudah sedikit tumbuh lebih besar," Kata Mo Wuji saat ia mengundang Yu Jingfeng untuk masuk. Yu Cheng dan Lian Yingxian memang sedang tidak ada di rumah. Meskipun Yu Jingfeng sering mengatakan bahwa ia mengagumi dan mengidolakan Mo Wuji, namun Mo Wuji sendiri merasa bahwa kekaguman itu adalah hasil dari ajaran Yu Cheng.
Mo Wuji tidak lagi menyelubungi dirinya dengan perasaan berhati-hati seperti sebelumnya. Ini karena setelah waktu yang sangat lama, ia merasa bahwa perbedaan antara kultivator immortal dan manusia biasa itu tidak signifikan.
"Hei, aku sudah berumur 14 tahun, dan melaut membantuku untuk melatih fisikku juga," Jawab Yu Jingfeng sambil mengusap kepalanya sendiri dengan sungguh-sungguh.
"Kemana perginya kakek dan kakak iparmu?" Tanya Mo Wuji sambil memberi isyarat agar Yu Jingfeng duduk.
"Mereka sudah pergi ke Kota Extreme Glade untuk mendapatkan Beras Thousand Fusing. Sekarang sedang musim panen beras itu," Kata Yu Jingfeng tanpa berpikir panjang.
Mo Wuji tahu tentang Kota Extreme Glade. Di wilayah Laut Extreme Glade ada banyak desa yang mirip dengan Desa Immortal Divergent. Di antara desa-desa ini, diperlukan sebuah lokasi yang ditetapkan untuk tujuan perdagangan, yang berujung pada pembentukan Kota Extreme Glade. Semua orang di desa akan datang ke sini jika mereka perlu membeli sesuatu, dan energi immortal di sini sama langkanya dengan bagian-bagian lain dari wilayah itu.
Meskipun Kota Extreme Glade adalah kota untuk manusia biasa dari segi namanya, namun ada beberapa kultivator juga di sini. Pada kenyataannya, kota itu dihuni oleh kultivator level rendah dan manusia biasa secara bersama-sama. Namun, para kultivator immortal di sini tidak memiliki bakat, atau kemampuan mereka untuk berkultivasi sangat amat terbatas.
Beras Thousand Fusing hanya bisa ditanam di area dekat Kota Extreme Glade, dan merupakan beras yang dikonsumsi oleh sebagian besar makhluk hidup biasa. Setiap kali musim panen tiba, semua orang yang tinggal di sekitar Kota Extreme Glade akan membawa hasil bumi yang unik dari desa mereka masing-masing dan menukarnya dengan Beras Thousand Fusing.
"Jingfeng, kakak iparmu begitu cantik, aku tak berpikir bahwa ada banyak wanita di desa ini yang bisa menandingi kecantikannya," Ujar Mo Wuji secara tiba-tiba sambil menyeringai.
Mungkin karena telah merasakan sikap Mo Wuji yang santai, Yu Jingfeng juga menjadi lebih santai dalam percakapan ini. Pada titik ini, ia benar-benar lupa bahwa kakeknya pernah berkata kepadanya bahwa Mo Wuji adalah seorang kultivator immortal, dan terdapat sejumlah hal tabu yang tidak bisa mereka langgar.
"Kakak, jangankan di Desa Immortal Divergent, bahkan tidak ada wanita di Kota Extreme Glade yang bisa menandingi kecantikan kakak iparku. Apakah kau mungkin jatuh cinta padanya? Tapi… dia tidak memiliki akar spiritual, mustahil baginya untuk berkultivasi."
Mo Wuji buru-buru menyangkal, "Tidak, tidak, tidak, kau terlalu berpikir yang aneh-aneh. Tadi hanya sekadar komentar yang lewat. Ngomong-ngomong, apa yang terjadi pada kakak laki-lakimu?"
Dalam hatinya, Mo Wuji sangat mengagumi Lian Yingxian, karena ia tidak tahu apa teknik kultivasi yang digunakan wanita itu, dan apa tujuannya sehingga dia harus menyembunyikan level kultivasinya. Jika Mo Wuji tidak menggunakan mata spiritualnya, ia takkan bisa mengetahui level kultivasinya. Ini berarti bahwa dari sudut pandang orang luar, Lian Yingxian benar-benar merupakan orang biasa, yang semakin meningkatkan kredibilitas terhadap kecakapan teknik persembunyian kultivasinya.
Hal ini berbeda dari dirinya sendiri. Kecuali beberapa kultivator berlevel tinggi, sebagian besar kultivator takkan bisa mengetahui level kultivasi Mo Wuji, karena ia berkultivasi dengan Teknik Immortal Mortal. Teknik itu adalah teknik yang unik; bila seseorang semakin sering mengkultivasi teknik itu, maka ia akan semakin terlihat biasa saja.
Sebuah kenangan melintas di benak Yu Jingfeng. Setelah terdiam selama beberapa saat, ia berkata, "10 tahun yang lalu, ketika aku berusia tiga tahun, kakak lelakiku pulang dari laut dan berkata bahwa ia telah merasakan energi spiritual immortal. Setelah itu, ia menyelinap keluar dan pergi ke Kota Extreme Glade untuk membeli beberapa buku tentang kultivasi. Ia mengatakan padaku bahwa ia telah menemukan akar spiritual yang tersembunyi di dalam dirinya. Namun, kakekku menolak bahkan untuk sekadar mengatakan bahwa kemungkinan ia dapat menjadi seorang kultivator. Ini membuat kakakku merasa putus asa dan tak berdaya. Akhirnya ia menikahi kakak iparku di bawah desakan kakekku.
Kurang dari 3 bulan setelah kakak iparku datang, kakak lelakiku meninggalkan sepucuk surat dan meninggalkan desa ini untuk bergabung dengan sebuah sekte. Surat itu menyatakan bahwa ia harus menjadi seorang kultivator bagaimanapun caranya. Beberapa tahun berlalu, dan orang-orang di desa mengatakan bahwa sesuatu yang buruk telah terjadi pada kakakku ketika ia sedang pergi berkelana. Ketika rumor itu terbukti benar, kakekku mengizinkan kakak iparku pulang ke desanya sendiri, dan bahkan memberinya kebebasan untuk memutuskan apakah dia akan menikah lagi atau tidak. Kakak iparku sangat baik kepada kami, dia sering mampir untuk mengunjungi kami karena dia khawatir dengan kakek."
"Bagaimana dengan orang tuamu?" Tanya Mo Wuji.
Mata Yu Jingfeng sedikit berkaca-kaca, "Tak lama setelah aku lahir, mereka mengalami kecelakaan di laut dan tidak pernah kembali."
Mo Wuji menghela nafas. Tak peduli seberapa amannya Laut Extreme Glade itu, tetap saja itu merupakan sebuah lautan di Dunia Immortal. Para pelaut pasti akan menghadapi sejumlah bahaya di sana.
"Lalu apa yang terjadi dengan kakak iparmu itu? Apakah dia selalu tinggal di Desa Immortal Divergent? Apakah dia lebih tua atau lebih muda dari kakakmu?" Tanya Mo Wuji.
Sebenarnya, Mo Wuji hanya bertanya sebanyak ini hanya karena satu alasan – untuk mengetahui lebih lanjut tentang latar belakang dan sejarah Lian Yingxian. Menurut pendapatnya, seorang Grand Luo Immortal, yang bahkan termasuk jenius, harus berlatih selama beberapa ratus tahun sebelum mencapai kekuatan yang dimiliki Yingxian.
Yu Jingfeng menyeringai dan terkekeh, "Kakak, kakak iparku itu bahkan belum genap 30 tahun. Jika kau benar-benar memiliki perasaan padanya, kakekku pasti akan menyetujuinya. Aku akan senang jika kau menikahinya!"
Mo Wuji menyeringai dalam benaknya. Ia tahu bahwa itu mustahil.
"Kita akan berbicara lebih banyak tentang itu nanti, kau jangan salah paham. Sebelum ini, aku bahkan berpikir dia setidaknya berusia 40 tahun!"
Masih melupakan kenyataan bahwa Mo Wuji adalah seorang kultivator immortal, Yu Jingfeng buru-buru membantah, "Tidak mungkin! Sungguh buruk penilaianmu, kak. Orangtuaku dan orangtuanya bersahabat baik. Ketika dia lahir, orangtuaku bahkan pergi untuk memberikan selamat kepada mereka!"
Mo Wuji terkejut dengan fakta ini. Mungkinkah seseorang, yang bahkan belum berusia 30 tahun, bisa mencapai Tahap Grand Luo Immortal Akhir? Bahkan bila Lian Yingxian mengalami perasukan, itu tetap kelihatan aneh.
'Pasti Jingfeng salah kira,' Pikirnya dalam hati.
Mo Wuji tidak berencana untuk bertanya lebih lanjut, dan bahkan tak bertanya tentang orangtua Lian Yingxian. Ia memutuskan untuk mengganti topik pembicaraan.
"Jadi, Jingfeng, apa yang ingin kau bicarakan denganku?"
Pada saat ini, barulah Yu Jingfeng ingat mengapa ia berada di sini. Sambil menepuk-nepuk belakang kepalanya, ia mengungkapkan sesuatu, "Umm… Jadi begini, kak. Sebulan yang lalu aku menangkap seekor Ikan Herring Merah, dan hari ini aku kembali ke tempat aku menangkapnya untuk mencari ikan itu lebih banyak. Tetapi, bahkan sebelum aku mendekat ke lokasi itu, sebuah sinar putih yang menyilaukan naik dari kedalaman lautan. Beberapa cahaya putih pun muncul, dan sebuah benda melesat keluar dari dalam cahaya itu, dan akhirnya mendarat di perahuku."
Sambil berbicara demikian, Yu Jingfeng mengeluarkan banyak pecahan benda tersebut dan menyerahkannya kepada Mo Wuji.
"Ini dia," Kata Yu Jingfeng.
Bendera array? Mo Wuji tahu apa itu tepat saat ia menerima pecahan-pecahan ini dari Yu Jingfeng. Pecahan-pecahan ini umurnya sangat tua, bahkan Mo Wuji sendiri tidak tahu kapan benda ini dibuat.


Di dunia ini, hanya mereka yang memiliki akar-akar spiritual yang mampu berkultivasi, sedangkan mereka yang berakar mortal ditakdirkan sebaliknya.
Mo Wuji hanya memiliki akar mortal, namun akankah ia tetap menjadi mortal?

"You're done with your meditation, already, my dear? You are only gone for about 5 minutes only...! That's pretty fast and efficient...!" Heather exclaimed to me when I emerged out from the room and saw that she was still preparing to put the platters on the food warmer to heat them up.

"Yeah, darling. All I need is to ask Ceres to show me the images where I was once Robin the Hood and learnt on how to get shards and gemstones that he once had procured to build up his New Vagabond Army before."

"Do you know he only started with only 12 groups of warriors and only had about 6 members per group to start with the New Vagabond Army?" 

"The members were all consisted of those members they were considered as too inexperienced to join other party members and were left to be lone wolves during their tasks."

"They were, in fact, a group of Adventurers that group together to form a team under Robin the Hood's directions and they were given a set of trinkets like what I'm wearing now and also a set of 15 pieces of armour that covered from the top of their heads right down to their feet and it was all classified as Type 2 Class 4 Armour. Type 1 Armour was cloth, for your kind information."

The twins heard me explaining and was excited as they heard about trinkets and such as they touched their amulets they had been imbued with a diamond and 2 red rubies each around their necks.

It seems that the amulet that the twins were wearing was part of a great history indeed...!

Heather was feeling a bit sad when she heard about the fact that I would be leaving the household in a few days time and would be gone for quite some time since I had told her about the images and about the number of gemstones I would be acquiring per day.

It seems that Robin the Hood had spent approximately a month to gather more than a thousand pieces of those gemstones and also to harvest the Stanspar as it was given by the leader of the dwarves.

A month and it would be winter and Christmas soon...! Definitely I would not be spending a month out there in the Wilderness do I?

That was what going on in Heather's mind and also was thinking about the children who would be looking for their Daddy all the time once I leave the domain.

It was after dinnertime when Eagle came in once again as he had wanted to ask about the effects of the gemstones they would be beneficial for him and the Shadow unit members.

 He wanted to ask earlier but had totally forgotten about it when he was terrified when a hand came out to grab those little blue shards from the pan that Priest Michael was holding earlier on.

"As in the case of a Ranger Assassin class like me, we do not use a shield so we would be at a lesser advantage to those who use one."

"We would be able to enhance our weapon and armours that we use according to the grade of those gemstones from poor, fair, good, excellent to perfect ones. There are 5 grades and what I'm telling you now would be those based on the poor quality ones."

"A red ruby, which is normally red in colour had the elemental of fire within it. If it is socketed to a weapon, it would add fire damage of +8, a shield with +16% fire resistance and increases +17 to armour."

"A green coloured emerald had the elemental of poison within it. If it is socketed to a weapon, it would add poison damage of +20, a shield that resists poison up to +16% and increases ones dexterity to +4 if socketed on the armour itself."

"The blue sapphire as you know it by now had the elemental of cold or ice to it. If added to a weapon, it would add +5 cold damage, a shield with a +16% cold resistance and lastly +17 mana on armour."

"Last but not least, the clear crystal diamond. It had the elemental of brilliance and adds total resistance to all elements a weapon would have +34% damage, shields would have +8 to all resistance and armour would have a +40 attack rating."

"The poor to perfect gemstones have an incremental benefit to it and it would be from +25%, 45%, 65% and up to 85% addition to the overall ratings that I had mentioned to you."

"Take for an example the poor quality blue sapphire. It had only +17 mana added to the mana pool in itself. But a good quality one that you have right now has +25% more and they come to about +22 points of mana points added to the mana pool."

"If I socket all the 13 to be filled with blue sapphire, we both would have a total of 345 mana points in ourselves. Your 4 pieces of armour have 12 free sockets and I could enhance good quality diamonds, you would have at least +480 attack rating on yourself."

"You can play around and decide what you want to add to your armours since we have 4 different gemstones and you have free 12 sockets."

"I have not seen your weapons yet but for a small curved dagger that you carry, you could enhance them if they have free sockets, if not then we could concentrate on those sockets on your armour instead."

Eagle was furiously writing in his normal about what he had discovered and was spoilt for choices.

He took out his twin curved daggers and found that there were some spots of dried blood on it but I didn't ask him where those spots came from. 

All I knew they it may come from a wild beast he encountered outside the perimeter walls to practise on.

"Do we have the good quality blue sapphires back in your realm that you could socket these trinkets for me?"

"At least as for the upgraded armours, I would think about it later on."

"Although I was piqued to change my set of armours to the one that you wore during the wrestling match, I think I would make do with these 4 pieces first that formed our own set."

Eagle voiced his inner thoughts to me as I gestured him with my open palm and asked for the trinkets back as I would enhance the remaining free sockets with the good quality sapphires that I still have some in the realm.

He deftly t moved it from his own self and handed it to me and returned to his seat. "Give me a few moments. Let me enter the realm and fix it for you first." I said to him as I closed my eyes right there and then and meditated to enter the realm.

A few minutes later, I opened up my eyes as I return to the real world and handed Eagle the pieces of trinkets that I had just enhanced. 

He took it carefully from my hands and was ecstatic to find that all the sockets were now being filled with the blue sapphire gemstones. 13 piece of them and it would give him an additional 345 mana points to his mana pool.

"From the current +17 derived from the poor quality gemstones, you now had +45% more. Take good care if those trinkets, Eagle. It would be some time before we can acquire some more of those gemstones and then we could imbue them accordingly."

I then slowly narrate to Eagle what had happened earlier before dinner when I had asked my guidance system to show me what Robin the Hood had gone through to get those gemstones.

"Your Majesty, if that's the case, why not you only a certain gemstone instead? Like diamonds and sapphires?" 

"But if I look at it in another angle, rubies and emeralds also play a major part too. Hmm... I really don't know what to think at this moment, I'm too excited for words...!"

After he had told me of his inner thoughts, I asked Ceres to give me a count for all the gemstones that's available in the realm.

"Audemars, we have more than 2,000 poor quality gemstones per category, slightly more than 1,000 pieces of fair ones, below 200 of those good ones and none of the excellent and perfect ones."

"It would be best to acquire the Stanspar shards as it would greatly enhance the quality of your current gems and make them standardised as perfect ones to fully make use of its capabilities."

"I am sure you would love to have those perfect gems socketed in your trinkets and armours, right?" Ceres highlighted to me and according to it, I would be able to get more benefits if I choose a single gemstone to accumulate from the dwarves.

I haven't even set out to meet the dwarves and here Ceres was already highlighting me in which is the better option to gather for the gemstones.

4 different set of gemstones, all have their own uses and capabilities and I can't even do without even one category.

Since Eagle had known what he needed to know for this moment and had his trinkets improved, he related about his skills that he had deployed and told me that it was a great leap in improvements and also its almost inexhaustible mana pool when he had executed some of the other skills that he had learnt.

"Your Majesty, once we have the Stanspar shards and able to fuse and enhance all the gemstones to be perfect, would we be able to get them socketed as well?"

"Besides, could we have the skills book so we could also to hand out to those Ranger Assassin classes of the Shadow unit members?"

It's not every day that Eagle requested such things from us and we don't really mind if we had perfected those gemstones and socketed the trinkets for them.

 Firstly we have an abundance of those trinkets back in the realm. 

Secondly, what's the point of me upgrading those gemstones to perfection if I don't hand it to those who would need it more. 

Thirdly, those skills book would be considered redundant if given to a non-combatant and would be best to part it to them. 

I reassured to Eagle as Heather beside me took note of what Eagle needed for his other Shadow unit members. 

"Considered it done once I had completed the first deal with the dwarves."

"Also, I would pass you the 36 sets of skills book from all warrior class and you decide which one you would need for your Shadow unit members, alright? "

"There are 12 classes and 3 types of skills book to learn from, mainly the masteries."

"Some may not be useful but I had already separated all the skills book into a set of 36. You may take one set and let me know which one you need and then I would replicate the rest for you."

"There's literally a few hundred of those skills book there in the realm and if I am an all-rounder, I would be able to utilise at least 75% of those skills set books and learn all the normal ones first."

I explained and Eagle was surprised at my effectiveness. I told him that I've got nothing to do back in the realm when I had duplicated those porcelain wares and while waiting for Heather to complete some of her printouts, I had decided to do some housekeeping thus I had separated 4 crates that were filled with trinkets which were further duplicated. 

Then the skills book had been set aside and slowly gathered to become a set. Plus there are some leftover pieces of armour that I was wearing the other day and would be wearing them in the next few weeks. 

Heather pushed me the journal that she had updated and it showed me of supplies and provisions that I would need for a two-week 'staycation' at Cowhead and I told her to make the necessary arrangements for a horse-drawn wagon. 

The three of us would be on Dandy Horses and would be quicker to arrive and would wait for the wagon to arrive and make camp at the outskirts of the forested lands. 

Heather looked rather sad but perked up when untold her to bundle up her things and the children and stay with Old Kayla and Old Jack at the meantime. 

At least she would have some company and have the children from Gwen's and Crystal's to accompany our twins as well. 

"Thank you, dear, I will get my things packed and yours too. Remember me and our children and come back safe, alright?" Heather gripped my arm tightly as she spoke and then she went upstairs to get hers and the children's personal stuff ready. 

I looked at the list that Heather wrote and discovered that even some of the Priest and Priestess was involved in this. 

Heather had suggested a conventional oven for me to bring over and to make bread for the dwarves as a kind of offering and goodwill to them. 

Guess I only have about 2 days to learn how to bake bread as Eagle excused himself as he was feeling rather ecstatic since he had now a new mana pool to play around with all those new skills that he would be learning soon.

During the period of 1337-1453, a terrible war broke in Medieval England and that period was called (Hundred Year's War) and a huge turmoil ensued between the England and France with the involvement of rebels as well as opportunists. 

Prince Audemars Macleod, a descendent of King Richard Macleod of Darlington had barely managed to escape with his life when the Manor he was living in was besieged by rebels in 1440, when he was just barely 18 years old.

Let us travel through time and relive the experiences of this young Prince as he was forced to 'banished' and survive with some followers they entrusted their lives with him.

Little did he realise that he was actually living in the past of his future and had no recollection of anything except when he was narrated by a Seer that had been inducted as a permanent resident of the town he founded later.

*This is a fictional world. Most plants, vegetables, fruits and certain animals didn't exist in England that time.

*Almost all novels start off with a system. This does not reveal any hint of a system until you get to almost halfway through the novel. 

* Mobsters are included in the later chapters of this novel too. 

*This is a slow grind so bear with it as the storyline develops. Thank you and happy reading...

The next few of days went by as Aser busied himself with finishing the trials. His understanding of the First Son's Academy had also improved due to his observations. Other than studying, his favorite part of the day was getting lunch in the cafeteria. 

He had discovered a few unusual quirks among his peers. He noticed that some of the boys would always try to approach the girls with flattery at first, but any disagreements would result in them challenging the girls. Yet, the girls would happily accept the challenges and return after some time looking triumphant. This had happened more than a few times over the last few days. 

He had also discovered that most of the larger groups of students were also made out of girls. At the beginning, he was confused as to why it would be as such considering the name of the Academy, but later found out it was due to the three largest student unions being led by girls. 

He had also been observing the auburn haired girl who was essentially his closest friend at the academy even though they had only had a single conversation. She would sit at the same table everyday, and every time she would have a slice of bread with some mixed fruit juice while reading a book. Sneaking glances at her whenever he could, he saw that she would read completely divergent topics everyday. One day, she would be holding a book on the geography of a certain island, and the next day she would bring with her a research paper written on Essence Particles. Another quirky observation he had made was that she wouldn't just read, but would also jot down a few notes on a separate notepad after she finished a few pages. 

At the moment, Aser was sitting across from the auburn haired girl while eating a bowl of broccoli soup with chicken tenders. He saw that the book she brought today was on a topic he was familiar with. It was named "Disposition of Essence Particulates on Constant Velocity", and this topic had been the same as Book 12 of the Essence Cultivation series that Ashes had compiled for him. He remembered that it was truly difficult for him a few weeks ago to wrap his head around the concept, and noticed the slight hints of perplexity on the young girl's face. 

"I had a rough time figuring out the concept of Disposition on Essence as well," Aser said, deciding to help her if he could, "The main reason I was confused was I couldn't understand how Essence would always be moving even though it seemed to stay still when I cultivated. Actually, after thinking about it, I realized that the main reason they seemed static was actually do to our actions of cultivation. It's like, when we don't cultivate, the Essence flows around us, but when we start cultivation, we become a giant vacuum that holds the nearby Essence in place!"

Suddenly, the girl lifted her head and looked at Aser with a sparkling gaze, as if what he had said just now was equal to an epiphany gained from a wise sage. Seeing her look at him so respectfully, Aser scratched his head while his face grew hot. 

"Umm, I'm sure you would have figured it out soon as well…"

"What about cultivation during movement? As far I know, there are also forms of cultivation that can be done during movement, such as Tai Jia cultivation.", the girl suddenly spat out a blurb of words. Listening to her excited voice and the interesting question, Aser started talking with her about his understanding.

An unknown amount of time passed by for the both of them. The food had already turned cold on their plates, and the surroundings had a lot less people shuffling around. The both of them didn't seem to notice any of it, as if they were in their own small bubbles, separated from the mundane due to their fervent discussion. After a while, the both of them suddenly became quiet and started giggling.

"Wow, I didn't know objects in constant velocity would be able to affect particle density even! Haaaah, it's how they say, always better to discuss with a peer than to read on your own." the girl said after a while. 

"Yup, definitely!", Aser nodded while leaning back into his seat. "Oh! I'm sorry about my introduction from a few days ago. My name is Aser Scholt." he added, a hint of awkwardness and fear flitting through his gaze. Ever since he saw the notice, Aser had been very hesitant in introducing himself to others. He didn't want to feel as if he was an animal in a zoo. 

"Umm, I'm Julia. Julia Hawke from the Hawke family in Eastern Shelfield. I realized it was the famous Aser Scholt when you stopped your introduction the other day haha.", Julia replied. "But, are you not from Shelfield Coast City Aser? I don't remember any families going by the last name Scholt?" 

Hearing her question, he lowered his head with a hint of melancholy and sadness. "I'm not from any family. I was raised in an orphanage since I was young." he replied, seemingly upset at his situation. 

"Oh!" feeling slightly awkward, she added, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked."

"No, it's fine. I'm glad you asked, at least now we won't have to feel awkward about it anymore.", Aser said, snapping out of his memories. Even though it had only been a few days, he had already started missing the orphanage and Sister Tully, but he needed to grow up. 

Looking around the cafeteria and noticing it's absence of other people, the duo realized that it was getting late. Getting up from their seats almost simultaneously, they headed to clean up their portions, a silent atmosphere enveloping their surroundings. Grabbing their few belongings, they headed out of the cafeteria. Standing by the entrance for a minute in an awkward silence, Aser turned to her and said, "I should get going. It was nice talking with you. Same time, same place tomorrow?"

Julia nodded her head a bit shyly while mumbling out a barely audible "Okay". Sensing it was time to part, the duo headed towards their destinations. After a few steps though, both of them stopped and realized….they were both going to the library. Sharing a slight glance, Aser couldn't help but start laughing, triggering quiet giggles from the girl beside him. 

Letting go of the awkward atmosphere, they both started chatting while jaunting towards the library. The duo painted a picture of serene youthfulness, the autumn sunset harmonizing with the music of the breeze, creating a melody of a fated meeting.

Beasts had unlocked their System during the Ancient Era, and were once the rulers of the world. A catastrophe had caused them all to go into slumber, ushering in the Venture era where humanity started leaving their settlements to explore. As civilization progressed and tensions rose, humanity fought with themselves for the large swathes of territory. Near the end of the Conquer era, the beasts started awakening from their slumber and pushed humanity to the brink of destruction. Through efforts from humanity's top leaders, the system was unlocked for man, and thus began the era of Enlightenment. 

The goal of everyone in this era is to get enlightened, to seek Ascension. Now every child, every family, every influence seek to be an Ascended like the heroes of their world. 

Aser, an Unknown child raised in an orphanage in the Southern Seas. Like others, on his 7th birthday, the system had awakened in his mind, but he realizes he's special. As he explores the mysteries of the System, our protagonist strives to excel, to prove his worth in the world of Gigantis, to find his parents and to figure out the path to Ascension.
