*We don't own Divergent. Rating:T-M. Warning swearing and topics on abuse. Modern day high school.* A lot can happen in a second. A lot can change in a second. Mostly to a person who thought she was a nobody. 

I get the chances to have a new start. Get away from the life I never wanted. My name is Breatrice Prior. This is my second chances. I am going to a go to Divergent High.

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.

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?

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.

Tumingin si Duan Ling Tian ng kakaiba kay Qing Lang ng marinig niyang pinagsasabihan nito si Lou Fu.
Sa kaniyang palagay, Sinasabi lamang ito ni Qing Lang upang maligtas ang kaniyang buhay.
"Fort Master…" Nakangiwi si Lou Fu. "Bago mo pa man kami pagbalaan, ang apat na yon ay inapi si Duan Ling Tian… Pagkatapos ng Martial Competion ng Ten Dynasties, ang apat na iyon ay nag sama ng sampung elder para tugisin si Duan Ling Tian para mapatay nila siya.
"ANO?!" Pagkamuhi ang nakita sa mukha ni Qing Lang. Sumingkit ang mga mata niya ng mabilis. "Alam mo na ang mga ito?"
Tumango si Luo Fu at ngumiwi.
"Magaling! Talagang kahangahanga!" Nanlisik ang mga mata ni Qing Lang kay Luo Fu at nag tanong sa malalim na boses. "Kung gayon...Nang si Miss Xue Nai ay dumating sa Skywolf Fort at nabanggir si Duan Ling Tian, bakit hindi mo sakin sinabi ang tunkol dito? Inisip mo ba na maliit na bagay lang ito?"
Nang matapos ni Qing Lang ang pagsasalita, ang kagustuhang pumatay ay bakas sa kaniyang katawan.
Miss Xue Nai?
Ang sandaling narining ni Duan Ling Tian ang boses ni Qing Lang, sa gulat ay napataas na lamang siya ng kilay.
"Ang Fort Master ng Skywolf Fort ay kilala si Xue Nai?"
"Fort Master, narinig namin kung pano tinawag ni Miss Xue Nai si Duan Ling Tian as 'Kuya Ling Tian'...Higit pa rito, napaka galang mo sa kaniga. Hindi na kami nag lakas loob pa na sabihin sa iyo dahil natatakot kami na magalit ka sa amin."
Ang ngiti sa mukha ni Luo Fu ay lalong lumapad.
Boom!
Ang sandaling lumabas sa bibig ni Luo Fu ang mga salitang iyon, isang malawak na Origin Energy at ika siyam na antas ng Void Transformation Concept na sinundan siya na parang isang anino ay mabilis na ipinaloob si Luo Fu.
Sa isang sandali, Si Luo Fu ay naging abo at mabilis na nawala sa mundo.
Matapos patayin si Luo Fu, Nagbigay galang si Qing Lang kay Duan Ling Tian at nagsalita ng malakas, "Hindi ako mahigpit sa aking mga kasamahan. Kahit na ang kamatayan ay hindi sapat para pagbayaran ang kanilang pagkawalang bahala. Pakiusap parusahan mo ako, Sir Duan."
Tumingin si Duan Ling Tian kay Qing at walang bahalang sinabj, "Kung pakiramdam mo ay may kasalanan ka talaga, bakit hindi mo nalang paslangin ang iyong sarili?"
Hindi inasahan ni Qing Lang ang ganoong sagot galing Duan Ling Tian. Ang kaniyang katawan ay nanginginig at matinding takot ang bumakas sa kaniyang mukha.
"Hurmph! Huwag ka ngang umarte sa harapan ko." Napasinghal si Duan Ling Tian. "Alam mo naman na hindi kita papatayin, pero umaarte kapa din. Hindi mo ba alam na nakakadiri iyon.?"
Matapos marinig ang mga salita ni Duan Ling Tian, Napabuntong hininga nalamang si Qing lang at mabilis na pinuri si Duan Ling Tian, "Matalino talaga ka talaga sir Duan."
Gayunman, Hindi gusto ni Duan Ling Tian ang ganitong mga bagay. Hindi na lamang pinansin ni Duan Ling Tian ang papuri at iniba ang usapan. "Kilala mo si Xue Nai?"
"Oo." Tumango ng may paggalang si Qing Lang.
Alam niya na ang tagapagligtas niya ngayon ay ang Batang Binibi.
"Alam mo ba ang katangian ng pamilya ni Xue Nai?" tanong muli ni Duan Ling Tian.
"Hindi, Hindi ko alam." Ngumiti si Qing Lang ng nakangiwi. "Alam ko lamang na ang Young Miss... Nais kong sabihin na hindi simple ang katauhan ni Miss Xue Nai. Ang isang tao na nasa tabi niya ay isang napakalakas na tao galing sa aking angkan.
Napataas ng kilay si Duan Ling Tian at nagtanong, "Qing Nu?"
"Oo, Iyon kung pano siya tawagin ni Miss Xue Nai," Pagsagot ni Qing Lang ng may paggalang.
"Saan mo ba na kita dati si Xue Nai?" Tanung muli ni Duan Ling Tian.
Nalaman ni Duan Ling Tiang ang kaunting mga bagay.
Sa Totoo, noong siya ay nasa Five Element Sect, Nag punta si Xue Nai sa Skywolf Fort at nag tanong kung saan ang kaniyang kinalalagyan.
Pag tapos, Gustong isama ni Xue Nai si Qing Lang para samahan siya nito mag hanap, ngunit ang pag hahanap ay hindi pinalad.
Sa Huli, Dumating si Qing Nu at kinuha papalayo si Xue Nai.
"Ang ibig mong sabihin, may isa pang binibini maliban may Xue Nai?" Pag tatanong ni Duan Ling Tian ng may pagtataka.
"Oo." Tumango si Qing Lang.
"Tama na 'yon, umalis kana. Napatayko naman na ang mga nag simula ng kasamaang ito, at para narin sa relasyon niyo ni Xue Nai, Hindi ko na gagawing mahirap ang bagay para sayo at sa Skywolf Fort." Iwinawagayway ni Duan Ling Tian ang kaniyang mga kamay pag tapos niyang mag salita.
"Sige." Umalis na agad si Qing Lang pag banggit niya nito. Hindi na siya nagatubiling lumisan pa dahil siya sa takot na baguhin ni Duan Ling Tian ang kaniyang isip at paslangin siya.
Pagkatapos umalis ni Qing Lang, Tumingin si Duan Ling Tian kay Sun Zhong ang Martial Emperor ng Sun Clan, Northern Divergent.
"Sir Duan." Nagbigay respeto si Sun Zhong. Pati na rin ang tatlong tao sa likod niya. Bakas ang pangamba sa mga mata nila.
Kung alam lang nila na ang kanilang puntirya ay nakakasindak, hindi na sana sila nagpunta kahit na ito ay pagsaway sa utos ng kanilang Clan Leader.
Sila ay masuwerte dahil ang malakas na ito ay walang intensyon na bigyan sila ng gulo.
"Ano? Gusto mo pa ding manatili dito? Hindi mo ba pinaplanong tumakas pabalik sa iyong Northern Divergent ng Sun Clan? Hinihintay mo ba kong ilibre ka ng pagkain?" Tanong ni Duan Ling Tian ng mahinahon.
"Hindi! hindi!" Nang marining nila ang bosws ni Duan Ling Tian. Naging balisa si Sun Zhong. "Sir Duan, babalik na kami ngayon sa lupain ng Northern Divergent! Kikilos na kami! Sir Duan, kami ay lubos na tatanggap sayo ng bukas ang mga pinto sa oras na dadalaw ka sa amin."
Ang sandaling matapos ni Sun Zhing ang kaniyang salita, Mabilis niyang sinama ang tatlong tao sa kanit mabilis na umalis. Sila ay nag lahonsa isnag isap mata.
Sa wakas, si Duan Ling Tian at ang naka pulang babae ang naiwan sa ere.
Ang nakapulang babae ay walang iba kundi si Feng Tian Wu.
Mula sa umpisa hanggang wakas, si Feng Tian Wu ay nakatayo at nananahimik lamang katabi ni Duan Ling Tian. Ang malamig na kagandahan at pino nitong mukha ay biglang naglaho ng umalis na ang lahat.
"Oh! Muntik ko ng makalimutan." May tila isang bumbila ang nagliwanag sa ulo ni Duan Ling Tian.
Sa mga susunod na pangyayari, siya ay nawala sa kaniyang pwesto, habang su Feng Tian Wu ay naiwan lamang na nakatayo pa din sa kaniyang pwesto.
Sa loob ng Skywolf Fort.
Ang katatakutan ay bumabalot pa din kay Qing Lang pagkatapos niyang makalapag sa lupa. "Gaya ng inaasahang tao na tinatawag ni binibi ng 'Kuya'. Siya naging malakas sa loob lqmqng ng maikling oras. Nagawa din niyang masindak si Sun Zhong na nasa pangalawang antas ng Martial Monarch Stage. Ibig sabihin ang antas ng kaniyang paglilinang ay nasa ika-apat na antas ng Martial Monarch Stage." maghihinuha ni Qing Lang.
"Sino 'yan?!" Bigla, Napahinto si Qing Lang na para bang may napansin siyang kakaiba. Katatakutannay biglang bumakas sa kaniyang mga mukha.
Isang naka lilang imahe ang biglang nagpakita sa harap niya.
"Sir Duan." napabuntong hininga na lamang si Qing Lang ng pagtingin niya sa taong ito. "May kailangan ka pa ba, sir?" Tanong niya ng may respeto.
"Saan ang lokasyon ng Blade Sect?" Ang taong nasa harapan ni Qing Lang ay walang iba kundi si Duan Ling Tian. Ang dahilan kung bakit siya nagtungo kay Qing Lang ay dahil gusto niyang malaman ang kinaroroonan ng Blade Sect.
Ang lugar na pupuntahan niya ang ang Blade Sect.
"Blade Sect? Ito'y…" Hindi ni gusto ni Qing Lang na maantala pa at mabilis niyang tinuro ang direksyon ng Blade Sect kay Duan Ling Tian.
Matapos malaman mo Duan Ling Tian ang lokasyon ng Blade Sect, umalis na siya ng may pag mamadali. Sa mga mata ni Qing Lang, siya ay para bang naglaho sa hangin.
"Tara na, Tian Wu," sabi ni Duan Ling Tian na kakarating lamang sa tabi ni Feng Tian Wu, senyas sa kaniya. Silang dalawa ay nag tungo na sa Blade Sect.
Bagaman may kalayuan ang Skywolf at ang Blade Sect, dahil sa antas ng paglinang ni Duan Ling Tian at Feng Tian Wu na nasa Martial Monarch Stage, sila ay mabilis na nakarating sa lupain ng Blade Sect.
"Tiyo Feng." Lumilipad sa taas ng lupain ng Blade Sect, ang boses ni Duan Ling Tian na nay Origin Energy ay mabilis na kumalat sa buong kalupaan.
Ang buong lupain ng Blade sect ay nagsimulang magkagulo.
"Sino 'yon? Sinong naglakas ng loob na mag hasik ng kaguluhan sa aming Blade Sect?"
"Hurmph! Sino ba tong bulag na to para mag hanao ng gulo sa ating Blade Sect? Bibigyan kita ng leksyon!"
"Tara na! Turuan natin siya ng leksyon!"
…
Lahat ng disipulo ng Blade Sect ay limipad sa ere at nagtungo sa kinaroroonan ng may mapanganib na boses
Nakita nila ang dalawang taong nakatayo sa hangin. Gayunpaman, sila ay nahinto ng mabaling ang kanilang mga mata sa nakapulang babae.
"Si Junior Sister Feng!"
"Si Junior Sister Feng nga!"
"Bumalik na si Junior Sister Feng!"
…
Marami sa disipulo ng Blade sect ang nakilala si Feng Tian Wu.
Si Feng Tian Wu ay dating disipulo pa din ng Blade Sect.
Naging magandang mukha ni Feng Tian Wu at bigla itong nanlamig ng makita siya na maraming taong nakatingin sa kaniya. 
"Anong mayroon kay Junior Sister Feng?"
"Bakit parang kakaiba si Junior Sister Feng?"
"Kasalanan siguro ito ng magandang lalaki sa tabi niya!"
…
Marami sa disipulo ng Blade Sect ay tumingin kay Duan Ling Tian.
Si Junior Sister Feng ay ang dilag na kanilang pinapangarap. Ngayon siya ay ganito, paano ba sila hindi magagalit?
"Ibalik mo sakin si Junior Sister Feng!" Lumipad ang isang disipulo at gusting lusubin si Duan Ling Tian.
Dahil sa pangunguna ng lalaking ito, marami ang sumunod na lumusob kay Duan Ling Tian. Gayunpaman, bago pa sila tuluyang makalapit kay Duan Ling Tian, sila ay nabalot at napigilan ng malakas na umiikot na apoy. Sila ay siguradong mamamatay kung patuloy na nakabalot sa kanila ang apoy.
Sa mga oras na ito, Sinabi ni Duan Ling Tian na, "Tian Wu, Maawa ka."
Ang taong pumipigil sa grupo ng mga disipulo ng Blade Sect na gustong atakihin si Duan Ling Tian ay walang iba kundi si Feng Tian Wu.
Si Duan Ling Tian lamang ang tumanggap kay Feng Tian Wu nang wala ang memorya nito.
Whoosh!
Nang marining ni Feng Tian Wu ang boses ni Duan Ling Tian, inalis niya ang kaniyang umiikot na Fire Profundity.
Pagkatapos niya itong alisin, hingal na hingal ang mga disipulo ng Blade Sect, ang iba pa ay tila na uling.
"Kailan pa naging ganito kalakas si Sister Tian Wu?" pagkatapos, nagulat sila sa kanilang nalaman.
Ang grupong ito ng Blade Sect ay puro nasa kamtamang edad. Bagama't alam nila na talentado ang kanilang Junior Sister Tian Wu, ang lakas nito ay di hamak na mas mahina kaysa kanila.
Gayunpaman, ngayon, sila ay mabilis na nasupol ng kanilang Junior Sister Tian Wu.
Nang ang grupo ng mga disipulo ng Blade Sect ay talo na sa sitwasyong ito, marami pang katauhan ang nag pakita. Sila ay mga mataas na opisyal ng Blade Sect.
Ang Sect Leader ng Saber Sect at Sword Sect ay nadito din.
Sumunod si Saber 5 at Saber 13 sa kanila na parang anino. Isang katauhan na sobrang pamilyar si Duan Ling Tian ay kasama nila.
Kaagad na tumingin si Duan Ling Tian sa taong nasa likod ng opisyal ng Blade Sect. Siya ay ngumiti at nagbigay bati, "Tiyo Feng."
"Ling Tian." Ang taong binigyan ni Duan Ling Tian ng pangunguna upang batiin ay ang ama ni Feng Tian Wu, si Feng Wu Dao.
"Huh?" Sa sandaling ito,ang mga taong naging malapit kay Duan Ling Tian na sila Saber 5 at Saber 13 ay nararamdaman na hindi sila binibivyang pansin ni Duan Ling Tian. Para bang hindi sila nakita nito.
Pati narin ang Sect Leader ng Saber at Sword Sect ay nakaramdam ng kaunting hiya ng tumingin sila kay Feng Tian Wu.
Noong nakalipas, ang tatlong dakilang ikalawang uring puwersa ng mga Martial Monarch ay dumalaw sa kanila at nag tanong tungkol sa nakaraan ni Duan Ling Tian, nag taksil sila kay Duan Ling Tian para lamang maligtas ang kanilang mga buhay.

Let's see here. We have yet to discuss what tiers actually are. Let me break it down into three different levels of danger. The first level that we shall call harmful is where the tier 0 and 1 monsters belong. These creatures are hardly a threat to trained dungeon delvers and soldiers. In fact, even the common villager can exterminate these fellows. If they have the courage and a weapon that is.

Now the second level we'll be calling hazardous is where we will put average and above average monsters in. In essence tier 2 and 3 monsters. Once a monster reaches this stage, they become the type of threat only those trained to hunt monsters can face. These monsters have levels of strength that overshadows normal animals like grizzlies. So much in fact that they can face off against an entire groups of hunters.

Hence why very few hunt alone and the guilds advise hunters to fight in groups of three to five strong. Not only this but this level of danger shows the first divergent monsters. Divergent monsters are those who are anomalies straying away from the typical norm of their evolution. Some straying so far, they change their species and achieve a strength level only heard of amongst the weakest of higher danger levels.

Now the final level of danger we will cover is the disaster rank. The monsters here are tier 4 and 5 monsters. You can think of these guys as the mini-bosses and bosses of dungeons. But unlike what the stories would lead you to believe one of these monsters is an actual disaster if they appear on the surface. The tier 4 monsters have stats in the 4 digits and tier 5 monsters is where things get really scary. They have the necessary power that would easily allow them to wipe out entire towns if left unchecked.

This makes even one of these monsters a match for dozens of skilled adventurers and soldiers.  That's why so few teams dare to take on a boss monster all on their lonesome. Adventurers typically prefer to team up with four or five other teams to face these monsters and overwhelm them with numbers, tactics, and ingenuity. With this in mind, you should now have a basic grasp on how dangerous monsters are. Now as for if there is an actual tier above 5 no one can really say for sure. Those types of monsters only exist in myth. Although we still have yet to fully explore every dungeon. Especially the largest subterranean one spanning the world. So, who knows?

(The commander POV)

"Have the troops finished pushing back the ants?"

"Yes, commander. We're in the clear for hunter and trading operations to begin again in this area. However, we've made a discovery that the ant swarm was only a hunting party sent out by the real swarm." A soldier in full black steel plate with an ant head with X dead eyes emblem on the chest plate.

I looked towards the cave entrance frowning. If that was really only a hunting party, then the swarm itself likely numbered into the tens of thousands. That's a serious threat to the kingdom. One I couldn't let exist. Unfortunately, they lacked the supplies to be able to launch an expedition deep enough into the dungeon to be able to reach the swarm. And even if they did, they only numbered a few hundred and already lost countless soldiers to the hunting party. If they tried taking on a swarm like that they'd be wiped out. There was no option but to guard the dungeon entrance against any ant hunting parties until a messenger can get reinforcements for an actual expedition into the dungeon.

"You mentioned that hunter and trading operations are ready to begin again. Has anyone started any yet?"

"As a matter of fact, yes. There's recently been two trading caravans passing through the area as well as a hunter party who said they'd be hunting hamadryads that some villagers reported in the area." The soldier answered.

"Hmm. I see. We'll be staying here to guard the entrance of the dungeon. Send a messenger to headquarters for a request for an expeditionary force. Tell them there's a possible swarm numbering in the tens of thousands." I commanded him before returning back to my tent. There'd be a big battle coming that will keep the anti-hoard monster division busy for quite a while. But I doubt that anything would be able to threaten the kingdom during this time.

~~~~~~~~

(Joe's POV)

Haaaah…. I have a hate-love relationship with getting stronger… A hate-love relationship indeed. Leveling up is like a fickle lover who will backstab you and cut all your tendons with a serrated knife without any notice! What a cruel cruel reality this fact is. Alas, I must bear with it for the sake of power…. On a brighter note now I'm sure I'm becoming a decently strong monster (A/N poor poor MC…) with all these extra abilities and stat increases! I mean I'm in the double digits for crying out loud!

But nevertheless, I believe that with my newly upgraded translation skill I should be able to decipher important information from the villagers over at the village not too far from here. So, my plan is to go on a quick hunt to get some tasty XP and then head on over to actually gather information this time. I only got a translation skill last time and didn't even bring the vase. Maybe this time around I should take it with me for furniture…? I'll put that under consideration. Maybe I should get Amelia a jackalope on the way back. I'm getting more and more confident in my strength and my most recent upgrades might allow me to actually wrangle one to the ground if I hit it with a few drowsy pollens. I should level that up a bit. It would make hunting easier. More things to add to my list, I guess.


With that, I started heading out to the village for information gathering. I don't usually take much time to truly appreciate my surroundings. Especially in my previous life. I wasn't one for outdoors stuff but now in this life, I'm literally spending all of my time in a forest without even a bed to lay on! Not that I sleep but that's beside the point. Now that I'm out here I decided to take my time going to the village. It's not exactly as if there's any impending doom, right?

I should go stargazing or smell the flowers… Well, maybe not that last one. The other flowers might think I'm a pervert if I do that. They might just eat me if they're insulted enough! If they can be insulted. Probably not if other flowers are as dumb as the dryads would lead me to believe they are. Huh. That's odd.

I haven't seen a single monster yet… I mean the violence up here on the surface is probably much lower without things like giant scorpions and ant swarms but still, there's never been a time when I haven't seen a single monster during my time here in the forest. I'll need to ask Amelia about this when I get back from my espionage mission. I have a bad feeling about this silence. Like the old quote the calm before the storm. Other than that, though the forest was as pleasant and serene as always.

"Je to místo, kde vesničané řekli, že dryads bude?"
(A/N: Is this where the villagers said the dryads would be?)

What the!? That was a human voice! And my translation skill was able to actually decipher the meaning behind several of the words this time! That's much better! But what are they doing around here? I'm a bit of distance away from the dryad's grove which is good, but they mentioned something about villagers and dryads. I'm not sure I like the sound of this…

I activated my stealth skill and hid in the underbrush and started creeping along towards the source of the sound. When I arrived, I found there were three adventurers dressed in light gambeson armor. Two of them were male in their late teens while the other one was a female who looked to be in her early teens. One of the boys and the girl had matching colors of light grey and white edges hound emblems on their armor. The other just had a simple brown color for his armor without any fancy emblems to adorn it.

"Ne, ty idiote! Příšery jsou dál než tohle, pamatuješ? Proč jsme toho blázna museli tahat s sebou?" (A/N: No, you idiot! The monsters are farther away than this, remember? Why the hell did we have to drag this fool along?) The girl spoke in a harsh tone shooting a glare towards the man in brown.

The person she scolded looked away with an embarrassed look on his face as his shoulders sagged down in what I can only assume to be shame. I heard the words monsters, fool, and something being farther away. Looks like I was right to not like the sound of this. If what I believed to be true was true, then it means that the villagers might have hired adventurers to kill the dryads who are so graciously giving me shelter. Don't they have an ant outbreak to handle back at that one town!? Or did they already take care of them?

Doesn't matter. Either way, it doesn't change the fact that I need to at least warn them that the adventurers are coming. With that, I turned around and started to run as quietly as I could to warn the others of the approaching adventurers. I know humans and if they sent so few people that either means those guys are idiots, confident in their skills, or just the scouts. And based off of none of them having anything more than a short sword and daggers I'm more inclined to believe they're the scouts. Which means more hunters are coming for us.

It looks like I spoke too soon about impending doom and raised a red flag. What a rookie mistake to make in a world resembling an isekai novel. Damn whoever invented red flags!

Warning: Contains some gore

Our protagonist wakes up alone in a foreign world with no idea how he got here, and as if things weren't bad enough he finds out he's become a flower!?

Anthony has been reborn! Placed into the remarkable game-like world of Pangera.

However, something seems a little off. What's with these skills? Bite? Dig?

Wait....

I've been reborn as a WHAT?!

Follow Anthony as he attempts to adjust to his new life, to survive and grow in his new Dungeon home!

Nodding with satisfaction regarding the finished product that pooled at the base of the black iron wok, the young girl commanded the fire to diminish after simmering the solution for another sichen.

The cheery flame crackled in delight at the young girl's command, the golden flames leaping to emboss their heat into the essence of the wok.

An Fei sat down onto the ground nearby the black wok, a book splayed open before her.

As the young girl continued to read, the fragrance of lemongrass intensified with each passing moment, until the medicine garden appeared to have grown a sea of the herb.

Amidst the raging currents of colored light and temperature rampaging throughout the medicine garden, the faint rustling of pages could be heard, and the muted cracks of fiery sparks splashing against the surface of a cast iron wok.

"This… never emphasized on the type of rouge to implement as the foundation…" the young girl murmured in a low voice, her right index finger tapping on her bottom lip.

"I replaced the so-called Twilight Nocturn with a combination of angelica and parsley… but will it truly create a cosmetic? Aren't the two herbs supposed to be consumed? What even is the Twilight Nocturn, it looks like a shred of goldleaf…"

The book before An Fei was a simple introductory to the study of cosmetics and their applications.

By its name, the book was supposed to define the basic ingredients constituting the foundational cosmetics that could be found anywhere on the streets… but An Fei's consciousness was already swamped by the time she flipped towards the twentieth page.

The book was indeed as big as her torso, but did the writing have to be so small as well!?

"This is too much…"

The young girl palmed her forehead in exhaustion, her eyes threatening to roll upwards and ferry her soul towards dreamland.

The stress of deciphering the blurred symbols as well as studying an area of interest so remote from her interests was enough to cause her mind to transform into a high-pressure cooker.

Making rouge – she had expected it to be a simple process of gathering the petals of a scarlet or pink flower, grinding into a powder, and formulating a removable cohesive substance to allow the powder to remain on the lips following application.

She did not expect it to be so complex!

"A bottle of mediocre rouge comprises of a collection of a variety of colorful flowers consisting of light yellow, blue, and green petals," the young girl recited with clenched teeth.

"Then you form a baste utilizing natural fats from the extracts of beans to combine the mixture into a single paste – then a tonic of rosemary, geraniums, mint, and lavender is poured and left to dry to reveal a paste…"

An Fei threw her hands into the air, her eyes beginning to water at the thought of cosmetics.

Just as the young girl parted her lips to release an agonizing scream, the final crackle of the fire lit underneath the cast iron wok shrieked to attain her attention, the piercing cry resonating throughout the entire medicine garden.

In her excitement, the book that would have charmed countless young women was casually left on the fabric-covered ground, the pages devoid of the minimum honor of closing the book to protect its contents.

"I want to see, I want to see!"

The young girl chanted as she rushed to the black iron wok, peering into its contents with a sparkling countenance.

At the bottom of the wok, just as An Fei had expected, lay a pool of rich green liquid, translucent and gleaming with a faint indigo radiance.

The scent of lemongrass was muted and suppressed to the surface of the liquid, no longer as profuse as before. When An Fei took a brief sniff, the faint fragrance was enough for her to clench her fingers in satisfaction.

What came next was quite obvious, yet unthinkable for others.

The young girl wrapped her arms around the black iron wok, her countenance blooming into a contented smile at the warm temperature of the material.

Her heart beamed with praise towards the fire that belonged to the Sanctum, for it had regulated the temperature of the wok to the extent that a heartwarming surge of heat rushed through the entire body on contact, but did not burn the skin.

Praiseworthy, and perfect indeed.

An Fei hummed as she hauled the cast iron wok towards the boudoir, bypassing the alluring bedchamber and rushing straight into the bathroom.

There, ignoring the transparent, steaming water that filled the massive tub to the brim that tempted her soul for a quick bath, she poured the green liquid in without remorse.

The green tide seemed to have possessed an unquenchable thirst as it permeated every region of the inlaid bathtub, transforming the entire container of water into a lake of sparkling, translucent green liquid.

The repressed fragrance of lemongrass broke free from its restraints and rushed forth to envelop every centimeter of the room, tickling An Fei's feverish nose with the highly inviting and excitatory scent.

The young girl took a deep breath, her fingers hooking at the collar of her gown with a hint of hesitation.

With the right foot extending forward, An Fei walked down the leading steps into the depths of the bathtub, her body shivering from the onslaught of the bone-piercing heat and trepidation towards what would happen next.

The young girl tapped her brow with her right index finger, muttering to herself in an unintelligible voice.

And without any further hesitation, the rest of her body submerged into the bath of green liquid, allowing herself to drift to the center of the bathtub where she could fully stand underwater.

An Fei forced herself to remain underwater for a few breaths, only daring to resurface when her lungs anxiously asked her brain whether she was suicidal.

She was not!

"Pah!"

The young girl's body was covered in a multitude of droplets of sweat and green solution as her upper half escaped the hot underwater massage.

Rubbing at her eyes, the pair of scarlet irises quickly cleared away their confused glint, to be replaced by shock.

Her skin… had transformed.

The milky-white color of her fair skin had been replaced with a pale mixture of yellow and hazel, a tone more accustomed to that of the indigenous tribes Wei Xuan had once mentioned.

When An Fei carefully observed her appearance from the rippling bathwater, the young girl concluded that her skin tone matched with the girls she had once seen in the southern regions of Guangxi; perhaps she appeared as one of Nanning's young women?

The texture of her skin had transformed from the soft, creamy sensation of warm mutton jade to a slightly rougher sensation, though the softness and delicacy of feminine charm remained.

When An Fei pinched her arm, she couldn't help but sigh at the differences between her current appearance and her previous, heaven-defying physique.

The young girl anxiously perched herself onto the edge of the bathtub to escape the visual distortion of the hot water, her fingers running over every nook and cranny of her body as though to confirm the completion of the disguise.

Her limbs, torso, the area behind the earlobes, and even… even… those –

"That's enough."

An Fei slinked away from her divergent thoughts, climbing out of the large bathtub to dry herself and slip into a new gown of an unknown, but irresistibly comfortable silk.

–

An Fei had completely relaxed her agitated mood, allowing her tangled mind to calm itself and regain the cold rationality it had lost ever since her arrival to Jiang'an.

The young girl patted her bosom as though to increase her confidence, then changed into more defensive clothing and draped the linen coat around her body, leaving the Sanctum with the twin butterfly swords and the qama serving as her loyal sentinels.

Caw!?

Yip!?

The instant her right foot transgressed past the dividing barrier of the world to step onto the sea of grass of the wide plains, two completely baffled and startled cries drilled into her ears.

The young girl softly yelped as her hand shot to her ears, a fierce scowl slamming into the weak hearts of the little raven and the small fox.

"What, you haven't seen a disguise before?"

An Fei raised a challenging eyebrow towards the valiant and prideful creature, finally causing him to submit since their encounter in the Wu Ji Forest.

Caw!

The little raven nearly lost control and revealed a pair of violet irises, the sentient immortal gaping with disbelief.

As it was unable to even control its beak in its shock, much less its body, the young girl had to grab the little creature by its claws and shove it towards her left shoulder.

This… wasn't the irresistibly beautiful little human lass he had seen daily for the past few months?

With this astonishingly descript and ordinary appearance… she was more akin to a pretty dancer in Bai Xing's domain, perhaps any of the mortal domains within the Realm.

Dongfang Yu had seen multitudes of them on his visits to the arrogant immortal's abode, to the extent that the countenance before him enriched a deep sense of bemusement in his heart.

Other than being a little pretty, the slightly tan but still pale skin tone and unrefined appearance… the young girl before him lacked any other supportive qualities.

The An Fei standing before him now compared to the An Fei he was accustomed to…

This disguise was undoubtably excellent!

"Xiao Hei, are you alright?"

Caw!

The young girl's curious voice brought the little raven back to its senses, and the little creature extracted its claws from the girl's fingers, gingerly settling itself onto the leather strap with a bleeding heart.

The little raven couldn't suppress its dumbfounded shock as it continued to gaze at An Fei's countenance from aside, its pride completely flattened and shattered.

"What are you looking at, ah?" the young girl brought the small fox into her bosom, her index finger tapping the feathery creature on its head.

"Enough, that person seems to be preparing to head back to where he came from. It's better to chase now than wander in this unusual plains, no?"

"A mirror?" she wondered, rubbing the smooth surface with her slender fingers. "What's so special about it? It looks so ordinary."


"Just not a plain mirror," replied the grandfather. His gaze distant, his voice was hoarse as he explained. "It'll change your life to the deepest core. Here, since it is your sixteenth birthday, I'll pass it to you as a present."


"How will it change anything?" she retorted, tapping the pristine yet dull surface. "You must be joking! Always prancing about how I need to be more vain, so mean!"


"You will see in due time," was the reply. 



You will see in due time. Just how a single, useless mirror will change your life in many ways unexpected by anyone.


Grandfather was indeed correct. An Fei could not help but admit it. The mirror had completely changed her life, just as he had said.

Only, was she presented hell, or a new life?
Because....

----------------------------------------------


"My dear wife, I particularly enjoyed those soft cries and croons you prepared last night. Husband wants to eat meat again!"

A handsome man dressed in black robes patted her on the back, softly whispering into her ear. 


That handsome appearance combined with his devilish allure, he would torment her night and day without pause, tethered by a tender string of sweetness.


Definitely in hell. No doubt about it!
