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.

After seeing Li Weisi's chimera, Adonis Monar knew that he couldn't waste any time messing around. He couldn't wait to find Li Weisi and the Wizard Alliance's old laboratory so that he could make use of their experimental records and notes!
The group started pushing forward aggressively. This cave truly was exactly like what the rumors had said; it could be called an underground city in the northern wasteland! The deeper they went, the more they found glowing moss on the sides of the walls. Soon, they did not even need torches, as the moss completely lit the way.
The fluorescent moss looked like twinkling stars in the dim cave. As they peered down the path, it was as if they were looking deep into a star-studded galaxy.
The group continued on and various landmarks began to appear. Some were normal buildings, while others were passages marked with wooden stakes and numbered entrances. Many of these places showed traces of previous occupation, such as several kerosene lamps that were found in some of the houses.
They also began to encounter more bodies of the monsters. These monsters could not reproduce. Hence, after so many years, most of them had died. Although there weren't too many left, those which remained were the most powerful of them all. The team also encountered several crises, but under the leadership of Adonis Monar, there were no casualties.
They soon arrived at a fork in the road. The map pointed to the left, but Adonis Monar continued straight ahead. He then took some spellcasting aids from his bag and gathered them towards the wall, which was straight ahead of him.
Immediately, a dark whirling fireball appeared in his palm, then headed straight for the wall. The wall was quite thin, so it exploded on impact. It scattered outwards, the dust blowing towards them like a strong, gritty breeze. As the dust cleared, a passage was revealed.
Cough, cough!
"Give me the lamp!"
After taking the lamp, Adonis Monar tossed it inside the passage. The path had opened into what seemed like a huge and bottomless abyss. The lamp lit the surroundings as it fell, allowing Adonis Monar to briefly observe the interior from the entrance.
The space inside was indeed quite large. There were many buildings that had been built along the rock wall. There were also many entrances and exits, which connected the entire cave, forming a transit point for the huge underground city.
Adonis Monar imagined that, at the height of its heyday, tens of thousands of people had once lived here. Li Weisi had controlled all of them, as they were facilitating his experiments. Countless people had lived here, without ever seeing the light of day. It was here that Li Weisi had first embarked on his descent into the madness that ended up shaking the entire continent!
The oil lamp fell to the ground and cracked open. The scattered oil then quickly ignited into a flame. All of them could clearly see that a dark castle had been constructed at the bottom of the abyss.
Adonis Monar was delighted and exclaimed, "Found it! This is it!"
Adonis Monar ignored the people behind him, immediately jumping off the cliff. He was already a level two wizard, so he had the power to fly.
He hovered in the air like a giant bird. The distance from the bottom of the cave was not too far away, less than 100 meters. So, Adonis Monar landed at the bottom shortly.
The others took out some ropes that they had prepared and followed him down, while Adonis Monar went straight into the castle. The gates of the castle had already been destroyed. There were the bodies of a few apprentice wizards strewn about. It seemed that there had been a riot here.
The others came in with torches and looked around the castle. There were terrifying traces of battle everywhere, including bloody marks on the walls, marks from unknown weapons, monster bodies, human corpses, and numerous strange devices. The entire place was horribly eerie.
After heading upstairs, they found the laboratory of the wizards of the Wizard Alliance. The laboratory was like a slaughterhouse. They found various crystals, glass, precious stones, and gold, which had been used as currency and precious treasures in the human world. Here, they seemed to have been used to make a variety of experimental equipment to enclose what looked like animal entrails. Many of the large vessels were broken.
Adonis Monar, who was standing in front of a vessel, said, "This was used to create chimeras, but after Li Weisi's death, chaos ensued. The beasts escaped and killed the rest of the people here. The apprentice wizards here were poorly trained and recruited by the Wizard Alliance to guard the base. Thus, they never had any formal wizard training. So, they definitely couldn't defeat these monsters, which explains why all of them died here."
As he continued upstairs, Adonis Monar saw traces of human experimentation. This made many of the others retch in disgust, but Adonis Monar was thrilled, as he started checking everything out.
"So, they used this tool, and modified this one here… And this was where they conducted the modification of the Owl Knights!" he exclaimed in delight. "Where are the experimental records? There should be detailed documents!"
Adonis Monar looked around the huge laboratory, finally finding a large number of parchment papers and books in a bookcase that was covered with dust.
"It's here!"
He carefully wiped away the dust, not at all concerned with the filth that got onto his luxurious silk robes. In his eyes, these experimental records and notes were far more valuable.
Within the book, Adonis Monar found several dissection diagrams and various notes on experimental data, including specific records and summaries of the causes of failed tests. The meticulously kept records and processes detailed entire experiments.
Adonis Monar skimmed the book all the way to the end, as if he was looking at the world's most precious treasures. After Adonis Monar put the book down, he continued to rummage around on the shelf. He seemed to be looking for something in particular.
"Found it! So, it really does exist! These are Li Weisi's handwritten notes. So, Mind of the Undead really exists! They actually developed it. The legendary Owl Knight group was based on this experiment!"
Adonis Monar held the notebook and shuddered. At last, he burst into a fit of maniacal laughter. "Ha ha ha, it's wonderful, beautiful! Li Weisi, you really are a genius!"
With these notes, Adonis Monar could build the wizarding path that he had wanted for so long. He packed the notes into his bag and looked at his followers. "Take all of the things on this shelf. Don't miss a single sheet of paper. We're returning to Babus!"
"As you wish!" All of them saluted him, as they were his vassals, sworn to protect him unto death.


By accident, Lu Zhiyu found the entrance to a low-dimensional world, and thus began a totally different journey!

Free to control everything in the low-dimensional game, Lu Zhiyu felt like a gamemaster, and even God.


"Wow." Ye Futian was a bit impressed by his third senior brother who could eat demon kings and use dragon tendons as instrument strings. As for the invitation from the College to participate in the trial, they didn't have time.
"The Cottage is so busy. We don't have time to participate in those boring things. Right, junior?" Third Brother smiled at Ye Futian.
"Yeah, you're right." Ye Futian nodded, thinking, whatever you say, brother.
As for whether the Cottage was busy or not, it didn't matter. Outsiders would not know.
"Xue Ye," Gu Dongliu called.
"Yes?" Xue Ye replied while transcribing.
"Stop for now," Gu Dongliu said. "Bring the junior to the Book Cave. Yu Sheng, stay here."
"Okay." Feeling saved, Xue Ye put down his pen and walked to Ye Futian's side. "Junior, come with me."
Ye Futian nodded, wondering what the Book Cave was.
Xue Ye brought Ye Futian to another cave in the Cottage and entered it. The cave was very deep. The path went straight inside and suddenly became spacious. There seemed to be dazzling light in the distance.
A golden path appeared on the ground. Countless runes pulsed.
"Follow my steps carefully and don't take the wrong step," Xue Ye warned. There was a flash under his feet. Ye Futian followed his every step cautiously.
After that path, they arrived at the center of the cavern. Endless dazzling light fell upon them. Ye Futian looked up and was deeply shocked.
As if they were in the middle of the mountain, the cavern was hundreds of meters tall. The sides had been carved into bookshelves. Innumerable books were pressed against each other in the walls. The library from the Donghai Academy that Ye Futian had once studied in was nothing compared to this. The Book Cave was practically a sea of books. How did the Cottage collect all these books?
"Junior, there are all types of books here. The teacher doesn't teach and you have to learn by yourself. Do what you must," Xue Ye said.
"How do you read all this?" Ye Futian mumbled.
Hearing this, Xue Ye almost cried. He looked at the books and sighed. "You'd need hundreds of years to transcribe all of these!"
Ye Futian froze. He looked at Xue Ye and asked, "Fourth Brother, are you transcribing the books here?"
"Don't talk about it." Xue Ye sighed tragically.
"Second Sister seems really powerful. Does she have a high plane?" Ye Futian was curious. With her one look, the fourth and fifth brothers instantly grew obedient.
"I don't what her plane is but I know Third Brother's plane is really high. If you say no to Second Sister…" Xue Ye said sadly. He glanced at Ye Futian, eyes saying, Do you get it?
Ye Futian nodded. He understood.
Third Brother could make the Nobles of the Qin Dynasty and Donghua Clan scurry away with a sentence. Ye Futian could only pity his fourth brother.
"What about you? What plane are you?" Ye Futian asked.
"I'm really low, only mid-level Noble Plane," Xue Ye said with low self-esteem.
"I…" Ye Futian broke off. He wouldn't finish his sentence.
It was impossible to imagine a Noble obediently copying books and acting submissive before Second Sister. He felt sick.
"Is Fifth Brother a Noble too?" he asked weakly.
"Of course." Xue Ye nodded. Ye Futian felt even sicker as he imagined Fifth Brother cooking. Was he really a Noble?
"Don't give up. You'll be a Noble soon. Take a look around. I'm leaving now." Xue Ye patted Ye Futian comfortingly and walked out.
"Fourth Brother, you, uh…don't give up. You'll finish copying the books sooner or later," Ye Futian called to Xue Ye's back. The poor guy tripped and almost fell.
"You're right." He didn't turn around and seemed to have squeezed these words out his mouth, telling himself to not mind what a kid says.
After Xue Ye left, Ye Futian looked around the Book Cave and muttered to himself, "How many years would it take to read it all?"
Let alone copy it all.
Ye Futian gazed at the sea of books. The countless books seemed to have been organized into detailed groups. Every genre was available.
He saw that one place was carved with the word "guqin" so he went over and started looking from the bottom.
First were the basics of the guqin. It included every note, key, and then from simple to advanced pieces. Ye Futian jumped around and saw many powerful techniques at the back.
He read for a long while. Outside, night fell and a beautiful figure walked in. It was Beitang Xing'er.
"Sister Xing'er," Ye Futian called. He put his book down with a smile.
"Your guqin is done and I brought dinner. Second Sister told me to bring it," Beitang Xing'er said, smiling.
"Thank you." Ye Futian felt warm inside. His two senior sisters treated him so well. Seeing how nice Second Sister was, he was sure there must be some misunderstanding that caused the brothers to be so scared.
"No problem. I'll read too," Beitang Xing'er replied gently. Ye Futian nodded and started shoveling food into his mouth. This was demon king and dragon meat, after all.
"Slow down and drink some soup. It's made from a king python." Beitang Xing'er giggled at Ye Futian's actions.
"Okay." While eating, Ye Futian said, "Sister Xing'er, not only are you beautiful, your heart is beautiful too."
"Shut up." Beitang Xing'er blushed. She was younger than Ye Futian, after all, and couldn't stand his teasing.
"I'm serious. I don't know who'll be lucky enough to marry you in the future. I'm even getting jealous," Ye Futian kept saying.
Beitang Xing'er grew redder and said, "I'm ignoring you now."
With that, she ran to the other to read.
Ye Futian chuckled. He quickly finished the meal and started reading again.
He didn't step out the cavern for the following few days. Every day, Beitang Xing'er would promptly bring the meal over, making Ye Futian feel a bit bad. However, she didn't seem to mind and always smiled innocently.
Without realizing, countless months passed. Ye Futian spent all those months in the Book Cave.
One day, Ye Futian was practicing martial arts at the Ancient Peak Cliff. His body contained boundless power. He'd been eating dragon meat and drinking python soup every day and accumulated much strength. He wanted to release it all.
When he practiced the techniques inherited from Emperor Ye Qing, his body was like a dragon. His blood bubbled and roars sounded continuously. At the moment, he was practicing a fist routine. Each punch seemed to contain a dragon's roar. Power swept through the sky with extreme power reverberating.
After a long while, there was a huge boom in his body. Endless power broke out, transforming into a terrifying martial arts conception.
He'd entered the Fourth-level Dharma Plane.
Ye Futian practiced the routine again and walked to the edge of the cliff. There was a guqin there. He faced the cliff and sat down cross-legged. Graceful music soon streamed out.
The notes that sounded were quiet and peaceful. They seemed to blend with nature and transform into a breeze that blew past his clothes and grass. They also transformed into sunlight, shining down and warming the earth.
Instead of playing a piece he'd learned, he just improvised according to his mood. Music that matched the artistic conception was the best.
His Spiritual Energy pulsed with the music and spread outward, farther and farther. He felt the breeze, the sunlight, and the peaceful warmth.
Without realizing, his Spiritual Energy also broke past the limit and plane.
In reality, Ye Futian could have leveled up much earlier if he hadn't spent all his time reading. Today was just a natural process.
The music stopped gradually and there was a chuckle. "I didn't think that our junior's attainment in musical sorcery is so high."
Ye Futian looked up and saw two fairy-like figures. "Second Sister, Sister Xing'er, when did you come?" he asked, standing up.
"I was attracted by your music," Zhuge Hui said. "They're only simple notes but they fit the artistic conception so well they became one. It seems that the Cottage will produce another musical grandmaster."
"You flatter me," Ye Futian smiled shyly.
"Let's go," Zhuge Hui said.
Ye Futian picked up his guqin and walked over. "How's Yu Sheng?" he asked.
"Don't worry, he's very talented. Your third brother is helping him cultivate," Zhuge Hui said.
Ye Futian nodded. Yu Sheng's talent went without saying.
When they returned to Second Sister's home, they saw Yi Xiaoshi who said, "Second Sister, the Qin Dynasty visits. Will you meet them?"
"The Qin Dynasty?" Zhuge Hui arched an eyebrow and asked, "Did they say why?"
"Yes." Yi Xiaoshi nodded. "They claim that the Qin Dynasty will soon confer the title of crown prince and invites all forces to attend. They invited the College but also came just to visit the Cottage. They hope the Cottage can attend too."
Zhuge Hui's eyes glinted. The Qin Dynasty was one of the Eastern Barren Territory's top three forces. In addition, it was a kingdom and had very strong central power. The College was powerful but it was different from a kingdom.
If the Qin Dynasty chose their crown prince, this would decide the future structure of the Eastern Barren Territory. It was indeed something significant. Inviting the Cottage after inviting the College was also showing respect to the Cottage.
"Who wishes to go?" Zhuge Hui glanced at them.
"Me." Fourth Brother raised his hand.
"Sister, I'll go." Fifth Brother didn't want to lose.
"I want to go too," Yi Xiaoshi said weakly.
Ye Futian made a face while Zhuge Hui grinned. "What, you all want to escape from me?"
"No, that's not what we mean. It's just that they invited us but you and Third Brother definitely won't go. Since we can't lose face, only I can go," Xue Ye said shamelessly.
"That makes sense." Zhuge Hui smiled and nodded. "Luofan, bring the junior with."
Luofan froze and quickly became overjoyed. "Thank you, Senior Sister."


In a time when the Divine Prefectures of the East Sea were in great disarray, Emperor Ye Qing and Donghuang the Great appeared to save the day. Under their rule, the prefectures united and all nations as well as  their kings have been controlled. However, the legend of these two great heroes becomes altered when Emperor Ye Qing's name is wiped from the history books after his sudden death. All statues and images of him were destroyed and his name a taboo. Only the legend of Donghuang the Great shall live on.                            

Fifteen years later, a young man by the name of Ye Futian begins his journey in search for his true identity. The legend of Futian was going to be one for the history books.

Gu Shenwei's Internal Strength was completely controlled by Mama Xue. He could only improve his kung fu with the help of her Iron Finger. Meanwhile, the inner force passing by her was gathering in his Xuanji acupoint, like a dormant parasite in his body, which could wake up at any time and eat its master's flesh.
Mama Xue had punished him last night by her Iron Finger. The punishment was a powerful incentive for his kung fu practice. The next day, Gu Shenwei felt that a surge of hot qi breaking out in his Xuanji acupoint and rushed to Dantian. He had not prepared for it yet.
The sunshine in early summer was so bright and warm while Gu Shenwei was seriously wounded. He was immersed in the feeling of escaping from the hand of Death under the protection of the Will of the Divine. Suddenly, he lost control and sat up in great pain. Gu Shenwei felt his chest tighten. He wanted to cry out but could not utter a word.
If someone was watching him from aside, he would think that Slave Huan definitely was a ghost.
Nobody watched and nobody helped him. In a moment, he fell down on the ground, groaning with pain, his body convulsing.
The situation lasted about a quarter-hour. But Gu Shenwei felt like he had bathed in a hot tub for a whole day and became sweaty and fatigued. He was too weak to move his little finger.
He once thought Mama Xue was his protector. But now, he realized that both of them had their own plans. Their cooperation would come to an end soon.
Still lying on the ground, he thought about Mama Xue and Shangguan Yushi. For a while, unconsciously, his body could move again and he sat up straight. At this moment, he saw the two giant rocs land in front of him.
The two beasts perhaps thought that they had not fully paid back what they owed to their son's savior. Since Gu Shenwei did not like eating the wolve's eyes, they brought more "delicious" food for him—two fresh beasts' hearts, which were still beating.
Gu Shenwei was too delighted to see the giant rocs again. Their appearance comforted him a lot, and even the pain did not seem so unbearable to him.
It was the first time he had felt the unconditional love from others, but he also felt sick because of the disgusting beasts' hearts. Therefore, he had to gesture for them in a complex way, not only to show his gratitude, but also to tactfully refuse the "fine cuisine".
The two giant rocs were a little surprised and looked down at the picky human boy. All of a sudden, they picked up the two fresh hearts and flew away.
Gu Shenwei now felt regretful because he did not want to offend them. Staying in this cold stone fort, he still felt he must always disguise his true self, even when facing a dog. Luckily, he did not need to wear the mask when getting along with the two living creatures.
The giant rocs might have felt as though they were treated rudely. They did not show up again this day.
During next days, everything was, as Shangguan Ru had said, "back on track". They practiced kung fu together and planned who would become the next target of their "assassination". In order to show she had "forgiven" Slave Huan, Shangguan Yushi performed more actively than before and made numerous proposals.
But Gu Shenwei understood clearly: although her fear of ghosts had disappeared, Shangguan Yushi's hostility to him never faded. He could tell from her eyes.
Gu Shenwei never mentioned his qigong deviation to anyone, including Mama Xue.
To his surprise, the giant rocs did not hate him for his rude behavior. They appeared again the next morning, bringing two kinds of food—an unknown fruit in the female giant roc's mouth and a colorful serpent under the male giant roc's claw.
Gu Shenwei chose the fruit without hesitation. He did not care if it was poisonous or not, in any case it was better than a snake. He ate it and showed his "satisfaction" by with his face at the same time.
The female roc pecked at its partner as if to say "I told you so," while the male roc regally turned his head away. It picked up the snake and swallowed it quickly in three bites.
Gu Shenwei felt very happy to see them again. He cautiously walked towards them and tried to pat their ink-black feathers.
The giant rocs evidently did not like being touched by a human. Last time, they had to fly with him, in order to bring Gu Shenwei to the cliff top. Hence, this time they firmly refused the intimate behavior—the two giant rocs just flew away.
Now Gu Shenwei had another secret in his mind. It was between him and the two giant rocs, which was not related to darkness and depression, but happiness and brightness. He gained a sort of family-like love from the two birds. He also had a fuzzy hope—if the two giant rocs could help him take his revenge...
But the giant rocs may not be interested in revenge, because they intentionally hid from human beings. Every time they visited Gu Shenwei, the two birds would first look around and made sure there were no strangers around them.
Due to the two giant rocs, Gu Shenwei even delayed the revenge plan, and actually, he had not perfected the plan yet anyway. After half of a month, he recovered slowly. Shangguan Yushi stopped challenging him in public, so Gu Shenwei had to pretend that he had let bygones be bygones.
The giant rocs seemed to think that no matter how many things they gave him, they remained indebted forever to their son's savior. They brought all sorts of things in order to reward him. After learning about his preference, the two giant rocs abandoned fresh and bloody "food", but brought more colorful and unknown flowers and fruit instead.
The way that he expressed his gratitude was to gorge on the fruit and flowers they brought him. Sometimes, he thought the flowers were too beautiful to eat, so he kept them to admire their beauty. But the rocs began to think he disliked the flowers, and was going to throw them away. Gu Shenwei had to snatch the flowers from their claws and swallow them quickly.
Luckily, in most cases, the aromatic flowers were tolerable.
Once, the flower brought by the two rocs had a heavy fragrance. After swallowing it, the smell still lingered. That afternoon, when Gu Shenwei was practicing kung fu with the twins, Shangguan Ru sniffed at him and asked, "Are you wearing rouge?"
Gu Shenwei blushed and repeatedly denied it, but all people around him start to laugh at him. "Slave Huan secretly powdered his face." It became a hot topic during the next days among the youth in Gold Roc Fort, though no one took it seriously. People just slowly forgot about it.
One month later, the two giant rocs felt it was not enough to bring food to him only, so they started trying to find something that may be useless to them but valuable to human beings.
Not only the killers in Golden Roc Fort fell off the cliff, but other people too. The Stone Castle had been built a century ago. It had witnessed so many historical changes. Every time a new lord came to power, people would throw the former lord's posessions off the cliff.
The giant rocs picked up their presents for Gu Shenwei from the items scattered at the bottom of the steep cliff.
These presents included rusty armor, fragmentary blades, scattered jewelry and half-rotted clothes. Most of them were useless, but Gu Shenwei always accepted the presents in front of the giant rocs and hid all things in the hole under the giant stone. Later, he would find a chance to cast most of them back down, keeping some of the jewelry that was beautiful and perhaps valuable.
Occasionally, the giant rocs carried something amazing to him, for example, a long and sharp saber. He did not know how long the saber had been lying at the bottom of the cliff, but it was still extremely dazzling, as if it were only just forged.
Gu Shenwei took the present and played with it for a few days. Eventually though, he decided to abandon it reluctantly. In Giant Rock Cliff, all the twin's weapons were wooden, so this iron saber was out of place. Once it was found, he would not be able to explain where it was from. Besides, Shangguan Yushi now was now eager to niggle him at him at any time.
Shangguan Yushi returned to her normal attitude, though she was still jealous of Slave Huan. But she concealed her emotion very well in front of Shangguan Ru. She insisted the Ninth Young Master belonged to herself and that no one had the right to be close to her. If Shangguan Ru did not look down upon Master Fei, she would also envy him.
Gu Shenwei gingerly maintained the peaceful relationship with Shangguan Yushi. He would not take the risk to avenge his family until he had formed a perfect plan.
With time going by, the giant rocs trusted in him more and more. Gu Shenwei now could gently stroke their feathers with their permission. Some of the feathers were soft but others were very tough, especially the feathers on the tips of their wings that would flare up when they were angry, making them look larger.
The giant rocs felt totally safe. Once, they brought the squab little roc with them. It still did not have too many feathers and was rather diminutive. On arriving at Gaint Rock Cliff, it continued looking for food, as if it had never eaten anything since it was born.
Maybe its parents hunted quite easily. Although it was almost two months old, this little roc was still the size of a hatchling.
At least this little roc remembered Gu Shenwei who had saved it and continuously chased after him. Later, the female giant roc caught it and took it away within minutes.
The giant rocs probably thought the little roc was too naughty and impolite, so they did not bring it to meet Gu Shenwei from then on. In fact, he sometimes missed the ugly little beast.
When midsummer came, it had almost been a year since the Gu family members were slaughtered. On one day, the two rocs brought a special gift for Gu Shenwei, which was neither food nor containers, but a book.
Perhaps they had hesitated for a while to give this book to him. At the same time, they brought lots of palatable fruits to compensate for the "unimportance" of this gift.
This book was made of sheepskin. However, it was bound in a volume like the most books in the Central Plain. Perhaps it had dropped into the stone crack, so the wind and rain did not ruin it.
There was a simple sketch on every page. Some might have obscure poems or sentences written beneath. In the margin, someone had scribbled some notes in a different style of handwriting.
After the giant rocs left, Gu Shenwei skimmed over this book. He almost could not understand a single phrase, but the pictures were clear and easily understood, which indicated this was an anonymous saber manual.
Before the twins arrived here, Gu Shenwei had hidden the book in the stone crack.
The Giant Rock Cliff was the twins' stronghold, and nobody was more familiar with it than Gu Shenwei. Unless there was an inch-by-inch search, no one would find the book he hid.
Gu Shenwei spent three days reading and generally understood it. He thought the sword manual was ridiculous and frightening. He almost abandoned it.
On the first page of this book, some puzzling words were written: "If one wants to kill others, he must die first. His body should be like the skeleton. His heart should be like the ashes. His mind should be self-forgetting. If one eliminates both life and death, one shall live forever; if one keeps one's persistence, one shall perish sooner."
Some sentences in this book cited the context from Zhuangzi, most of which he could not completely understand when he had studied it. Even the explanations in the margins were perplexing, but all of it seemed to be saying "death comes and goes."
The sketches were very simple. One showed a saber stuck in a person's neck. People in these pictures mostly looked fierce, like devils running from hell.
Every picture had this similarity: The saber stuck a neck. The only difference was the angle they were sticking.
"What kind of manual is it? Stabbing-neck manual?" Gu Shenwei was beginning to think the book was a complete farce. Someone must have written it for fun. If these movements really existed in this world and were practiced by kung fu learners, then the way to defend against the movements would be easy, simply protect one's neck with a hard camail. Then he would be invulnerable, no matter how skillful the saber manual demonstrated the movements.
Gu Shenwei stood on the edge of the cliff. Several times, he wanted to discard it, but he felt that a few sentences in this book made some sense. Meanwhile, it was very thin, so he decided to hide it again.
But for a long time, he did not reread the saber manual. When a heartbreaking accident happened, he nearly forgot the book altogether.


Born into a wealthy family, Gu Shenwei was spoiled and carefree. However, at the age of 14, his entire family were brutally murdered, and he was caught by some bandits who sold him into slavery. As a slave boy, he entered Golden Roc Fort by chance and found the man who had slaughtered his family. He endured insults and worked hard to improve his kung fu while working as a slave boy. He learned from and plotted against his enemy under the enemy’s nose. He became increasingly ambitious as he became more and more powerful. He would only be satisfied if he completely destroyed his enemy—by fair means or foul. Gradually his bitter experience turned him into a totally different person. 
This is a kung fu fiction that is full of mysteries and surprises. This is a story dealing with love, betrayals and distances. This is the journey of an ordinary boy who, against all odds, fought against formidable foes. This is a tale regarding a person who felt abandoned by the world made unremitting efforts to create a new world of his own, in which he was alone.

“The book is a copy of high-grade meditation technique. It is only for warlocks who carries the bloodline of the Giant Kemoyin Serpent…”

The beginning of the information already sent Leylin in ecstasy.

“The high-grade meditation technique that I have always dreamt of is finally in my hands now!”

Leylin only felt a surge of blood rush to his brain and almost could not resist screaming in excitement.



“Damn!” Leylin started running immediately.

When he started to run out of the study, he glanced quickly at the collapsed corpse of Bosain.

“To have you buried inside the secret plane is the best method to conceal the murderer. And, since I did not directly kill him, the probability of any Detection Magic is very less”.

After walking away from the study room, he found himself inside the Dylan Gardens where there was every kind of flower blooming.

Leylin did not think any further and reached out to grab the few most precious flowers and placed it in his robes. He did not stop his footsteps and directly dashed out from the Dylan Gardens.

After running through the metal passage, Leylin once again returned to the cave where the corpse of the Black Horrall Snake lay.

“Something’s not right, there is something missing!” Leylin ran to where the black snake was. His right hand glowed with the defense of the Fallen Star Pendant and as he traced the opening of the wound he ripped open the stomach and pulled out a scarlet heart out from it.

As the handling of such ingredients was troublesome, Bosain and the rest had decided to retrieve it only when they were prepared to leave.

“There is no more time!” Leylin looked at the timer which was counting down to zero soon and immediately chanted an ancient incantation.

“Starier Guderian!”

“This was the password recorded in the Book of Giant Serpent for leaving the secret plane. A pity that with the destruction of the secret plane, this time, there was no other chances to use it in the future.

After the chant, Leylin was enshrouded in a red lightning and immediately disappeared from the cave.

On the top of a cliff.

A few red flashes of lightning formed, taking the form of a spell formation.

A brown haired acolyte’s illusory image slowly turned into real substance among the lightning and landed on the cliff.

“I am finally out!”

Leylin looked at the void which was constantly emitting energy waves, his expression complicated.

This was the influence of a secret plane self-destructing in the main world. It was extremely weak and extremely difficult to discover.

However, Leylin was clear that the Dylan Gardens, and everything inside it was now wiped off from the face of this world.

“A pity! So many resources and precious herbs….”

Leylin looked down at the energy wave of the void which was slowly vanishing, and he felt a great pity about it.

After all, that was the secret plane of a rank 4 Magus!

Just the various flowers and herbs in the Dylan Gardens could fetch the price of several millions of magic crystals. Moreover, there had been copious quantities of herbs in there.

With it, Leylin would not have to worry about his finances after turning into an official Magus.

“Fortunately, it’s not like I don’t have any gains!” Leylin looked at the few stalks of herbs tightly gripped in his hands, his expression relaxing a little.

On his hands, there were several rare herbs, only that their appearance was not very beautiful at this moment.

As Leylin prioritised in escaping earlier, he merely grabbed a fistful of the most precious plants, so naturally there was some damage done to those herbs.

“There is one more — Book of Giant Serpent!”

Leylin touched the sturdy black book in front of him.

Although it was just something the great Magus Serholm placed outside to conceal the high-grade meditation technique inside the oil painting, its price was still extremely precious.

On the Book of Giant Serpent, there were the travel notes of the great Magus Serholm with the drawings of a few precious items, which could enhance Leylin’s knowledge.

Moreover, many experiments were also explicitly stated in detail, which allowed Leylin to benefit from it.

However, the most precious in the Book of Giant Serpent was the 12 rank 1 spell models and 3 rank 2 spell models! All these were items that the various guilds and magisterium in the south coast tried to get their hands on. They were something that magic crystals could not buy.

Finally, the motive of Leylin’s expedition, this time, the high-grade meditation technique, was finally obtained.

This meant that Leylin’s path in the future might not be smoothly paved, but at least he had a direction to work towards to. He had more chances than other acolytes!

Any one item on this book, once leaked, will only result in one outcome for Leylin. That is to be listed as wanted by all the organisations in the south coast!

All official Magi, various academy chairmen, even the strongest Magus that Leylin had seen, the head of the Lighthouse of the Night, will do their utmost to catch him who was a mere acolyte.

Just thinking of that outcome, Leylin already felt a headache.

At the same time, he resolved to conceal everything he had gotten in this expedition.

“Since I have already decided!” Leylin’s eyes flashed viciously and looked at the few struggling prisoners behind him.

They were captured by Bosain, used as guinea pigs to test the mechanisms of the secret plane. Furthermore, Leylin even bound all of them later.

He did not know how long he stayed inside the secret plane. Only that from what Leylin saw, these few people were already on the verge of death. If he were to come out a little longer, it would just be a few more corpses that he would see.

“I originally wanted to use them to kill Bosain after defeating him, but from what I see now, the self-destruction of the secret plane is a better way to kill him!”

acolytes who hailed from great families or were geniuses of an academy often had various detection spells placed on them. Once they were to die, the spells would be activated and imbued itself on the closest intelligent creature beside them and turned into a tracking spell. Hence, Leylin seldom attacked other acolytes. If there was a choice, he preferred to use scapegoats to finish his job.

Leylin muttered and walked towards the few prisoners.

Very soon, his face hardened, and he immediately grabbed a few prisoners and tossed them over the cliff.

*Pa Pa!*

Not long after, there was the slight yet heavy noise which travelled to Leylin’s ears.

“Not only that, the stone blades at the bottom must be destroyed, the corpses must also be gotten rid of with some bone dissolving powder.”

Leylin muttered and applied the floating spell on himself, floating down from the cliff like a feather.

When the moon was high in the sky, the blue constellations shone brightly. Only then did Leylin returned to the cliff, his robes filled with traces of grey powder.

The starlight which shone down was constantly absorbed by the Fallen Star Pendant on Leylin’s chest, forming a small ball of light in front of him.



Although the might of magic artifact were extremely strong and did not need any chanting to activate it, they required to be recharged. After the energy was fully consumed, the magic artifact was basically a useless item!

Previously in the secret plane, Leylin concealed his Fallen Star Pendant and let Bosain use their magic artifact many times to drain the energy in his magic artifact. Finally after engaging in a battle with him, he drained all of Bosain’s magic artifact energy!

Whenever he thought of the magic artifact on Bosain’s body which could take on the form of anything, the silvery and metallic “Silver Light” which could attack or defend, Leylin envied Bosain for it.

However, he did not retrieve it from Bosain’s body. Instead, he let that magic artifact remain inside the secret plane.

Things that belonged to large families, if one were to say that there weren’t additional protective measures on them, Leylin would be the first to doubt that statement!

Moreover, he had killed Bosain. This was the genius acolyte in Abyssal Bone Forest Academy, and one of the successors of the three big families, the Lilytell family.

Once this incident was discovered, he would naturally face the wrath and revenge of the Lilytell family.

However, Bosain, fortunately, was killed due to the secret plane’s self-destruction. The place where he died was also not in the main world but in a secret plane, which would mean many troubles for the Magi, who excelled in Divination or Prophecy.

“Only that it is still not enough! The methods of Divination Magi are not that simple!”

Leylin’s face was extremely solemn. He sat cross-legged on the cliff and picked up several water chestnut grass, forming the shape of a little human figure.

*Pu!* When the human figure made of grass was tanned, Leylin took out a dagger and cut his arm.

A huge amount of blood downed down, covering the grass doll in red.

Leylin used the dagger to dab on his blood, drawing a strange rune on his forehead.

Very soon, an ancient yet mysterious incantation was chanted by Leylin.

The chant was a tongue-twister and had a metallic ring to it. With the sudden rise and fall in his pitch, the surrounding atmosphere also changed mysteriously.

After the chant, many dense black gaseous bodies were emitted from Leylin.

The gases grew more and more, finally turning into a translucent black shadow, its face similar to Leylin’s countenance.

“Go!”

Leylin pointed at the grass doll and the black shadow immediately jumped into it.

The black shadow shrunk a dozen times, entering the grass doll entirely.

As for the grass doll, its face also changed, turning similar to what Leylin looked like.

“Alright now!” Leylin exhaled loudly, before pursing his lips to whistle.

“Gua Gua!” A black raven flew from the nearby forest, landing on Leylin’s shoulders.

“Bring it away! The further the better!” Leylin placed the grass doll on the talons of the black raven, before feeding the raven a magic crystal.

*Hu!*

The body of the raven doubled in size, and the wings grew to the span of two to three times. As it flapped its wings it brought a tiny whirlwind with it.

Seeing the raven flying further, Leylin heaved a sigh of relief.

This was a little trick he saw from an incomplete diary in the library, it was said to have an effect to mislead those Divination Magi spells.

Under the simulation of the A.I. Chip, he believed that there would be an effect to a certain extent.

Naturally Leylin used it, hoping for it to stall a little more time for him.

After killing Bosain, Leylin never hoped that he could cover it up completely.

The methods of Magi were extremely strange. Also, as the Lilytell family was one of the three big families in Abyssal Bone Forest Academy, Leylin had no confidence of hiding from them at all.

Even with the most foolish method of tracing leads in the world, they would definitely pinpoint all the clues to him.

However, for the inheritance of the great Magus Serholm, Leylin had no regrets whatsoever in killing Bosain. Even if it were to repeat the scene, Leylin would still choose to do it again.

What he desired now, was only time!

The external conditions had already been met. To be able to retaliate the chase of the Lilytell family, he had to advance into an official Magus!

This was the purpose of Leylin trying to stall for time.


Leylin is transported from an advanced technological era into a medieval world— except there’s magic. Equipped with only his quick wits and an A.I. chip fused to his soul, he sets out to become the most powerful magus the world has ever known. In a land divided into the Light and Dark Magi, the weak can either be cattle or disposable slaves. Only the strong can determine their lives, and only they have the luxury for virtue. Yet strength is only a tool for Leylin, like any other. His goal, in the end, is his own.

Translator’s desc:
What happens when a scientist from a futuristic world reincarnates in a World of Magic and Knights?

An awesome MC — that’s what happens!

A scientist’s goal is to explore the secrets of the universe, and this is exactly what Leylin sets out to do when he is reincarnated. Dark, cold and calculating, he makes use of all his resources as he sets off on his adventures to meet his goal.

Face? Who needs that… Hmmm… that guy seems too powerful for me to take on now… I better keep a low profile for now.

You want me to help you? Sure… but what benefit can I get out of it? Nothing? Bye. 

Hmmm… that guy looks like he might cause me problems in the future. Should I let him off for now and let him grow into someone that can threaten me….. Nahhh. *kill*

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.
　　


Here, only those with spiritual roots can cultivate while those with mortal roots are destined to stay mortal.

Mo Wuji only has mortal roots, but will he only remain as a mortal? 

----------

Watch as Mo Wuji fights against this destiny with his grit and tenacity. Feel your hearts pound as he goes through exciting adventures and encounters. Cry as tragedies befall him. Smile as he crushes his enemies and forges his own path. Where will his cultivation ultimately lead him?

He is kissing me very warmly and caring by holding my face with his hands...
I look into his eyes...
He just closes his eyes while he is kissing me deeply...
I hold his Blazer tightly...

"Are they gone yet?" Morgan asks Margret who was staring out the bushes. 

"Sadly no.." she sighs.

"Wish we could just fight them.." Morgan groans.

Margret rolls her eyes smiling. "You want to fight everyone."

"So?" She shrugs.

"Princess Star!" All the kids yell as they run away from the portal.

"Princess?" Morgan looks through the bushes.

Margret also looks though. "Wonder what she looks like."

"Who cares? She's just another evil vamp." Morgan rolls her eyes.

Star and Kyle walk through the portal.

"Ahh home! So gloomy.." Star groans.

Gimbal and Samual walk through as well.

"Ugh.." Gimbal rolls his eyes. 

"Kyle!" Margret looks at him worried. "No.."

Morgan bites her lip. "What is he doing here!?"

Margret studies him. She sees his empty eyes. "She has him under a spell."

"What?" Morgan looks at her.

Margret opens the book. "Yeah. She has him as her pet."

"Pet?" Morgan looks back at Kyle.

"Yeah. Maybe we could-" she looks up to see Morgan not there. "Morgan?"

"Hey blood suckers!" Morgan stands in front of them.

"No Morgan! You idiot!" Margret growls.

Gimbal pushes Star behind him. "A werewolf!"

Morgan grins. "Awe and here I was hoping to not be found."

"Found? Werewolf's all stink!" Star chuckles.

Morgan growls. "You'll eat those words..." she goes to transform but Margret stops her.

"Wait!" Margret emerges from the bushes.

Gimbal looks around. "Did every guard just say screw it on protecting the portal?" 

"Maybe we all can talk this out!" Margret stands next to Morgan. 

"What are you doing? Let me just bite their heads off!" Morgan growls.

"No!" She glares back at her. 

"So, are we fighting or not werewolves?" Gimbal crosses his arms.

"Fighting..." Morgan whispers as she bites her tongue.

Margret sighs. "Listen, none of us want to fight! Let's just make peace and have no blood spread everywhere." She looks at them worried and hoping they'll listen.

Star looks up at Gimbal. 

"Princess let's just let them go. We don't need to fight." Gimbal looks down at her.

She smiles. "No..." she looks back at Morgan and Margret. "Kill then!"

Margrets eyes widen. "Damn.."

"Told you." Morgan shrugged. "Once a evil vamp will always be a evil vamp."

Margret sighs. "Still...I was hoping."

Gimbal sighs. "Samual take the princess and her pet to the castle."

"You sure sir?" Samual asks.

He shakes his head. "No. Just make sure she's safe."

Star groans. "But I want to see you fight them!"

"No! I will not let you get harmed!" Gimbal pops his arms. "Now go!"

Samual nods and grabs Stars arm. "Come Princess."

"Ugh!" She groans as she follows. 

Kyle also follows.

"Oh that won't do. We actually need him." Margret points to Kyle.

Gimbal shakes his head. "Can't allow that"

"Oh..I don't think we were asking." Morgan transforms. 

Margret rolls her eyes. "You fight that one and I got Kyle"

"Fine with me!" Morgan runs at Gimbal.

Gimbal smiles. "Needed to stretch my muscles today anyways!" He also runs at her.

Margret runs after Kyle.

Micky helps Melody down the cliff.

"So...this is what it looks like." Melody stares at the portal.

Micky also stares. "Yeah...thought it would big much bigger."

She walks towards it. Remembering from when she touched it. 

"You okay?" Micky looks at her. 

She nods. "Yeah.."

He looks a little away from her. "Huh?" He sees a book. "What's that?"

Melody looks over and also sees the book. She picks it up.

"What is it?" He asks her as he walks over.

She flips it open. "I think I know.." she remembers. "Wait..this is the notes from my father. It's about the portal." She tries to think.

"Why was it out here?" Micky scratches his head.

Melody looks at the portal. "They went in..." She hands him the book.

He looks at it. "Guess that explains why they aren't around."

She continues to stare at the portal. "Kai..." 

"Hmm?" He looks at her.

"We have to go in. They may need our help." Melody looks at him.

He looks surprised. "But you could get hurt."

She shakes her head. "I know that but I won't let my sisters die in there."

"Die?.." he starts to think about Morgan. 

"Vamps are on the other side. We don't know how many and I can't allow myself to sit and wait while they may be fighting for their lives." She clutches her fists. "I helped open this. And I won't forgive myself for doing it. Nor my sisters dying." She looks back at Micky. "So, are you with me?"

He stands there for a moment but smiles. "Yes! Count me in!"

"Thanks." Morgan goes to jump on him again.


*Next Scene*

Margret jumps on Samual.

"Ahh!" He yells. 

Star falls on her butt. "I'm too pretty to die!" She starts to sob.

Kyle just stands there. Not saying or doing anything.

Margret turns back into her human self. "Listen, all I want is the boy."

Samual blushes. "Wow..." he stares at her.

Margret stands. "Kyle." She goes to him. 

Kyle doesn't answer.

"Leave him alone!" Star jumps on Margrets back. "He's mine!"

"No he isn't!" Margret runs backwards into the castle wall.

"Ouch!" Star falls off. Rubbing her head.

Margret grabs Kyles arm. "Let's go!" She runs off with him.

Star looks up. "No! My pet!" She stands. Stomping her foot.

"Princess!" Some guards run out of the castle.

"Kill that witch! But make sure that boy stays alive!" She shouts at them as she points to Margret and Kyle.

The guards nod. "Yes, Princess!" They all run toward them.

"So pretty.." Samual says as he was still lying on the ground.

She rolls her eyes. "I hate my life.." she walks inside.


*Next Scene*


Gimbal slams Morgan on the ground so hard causing her transform into her human self. "Looks like your werewolf powers don't work anymore!" He laughs.

She groans. Blood running down her head. 

"Just give up!" Gimbal growls.

"NEVER!" Morgan digs her claws into his skin.

He begins to bleed. "Ahh!" He lets go.

She quickly stands. 

"Come on!" Margret rushes by them with Kyle.

"Huh?" Morgan looks confused. She quickly looks back and sees the horde of vamps. "Oh..." 

"Like I'm letting you pass!" Gimbal runs at her.

Morgan smirks and slides under his swinging arm. "Sorry!" She runs toward her sister.

They all are about to jump in when Melody and Micky walk through.

"What the?" Morgan stops. Standing next to Margret. 

"Morgan!" Micky looks at her worried as he sees all the blood on her head.

"Guy! What's that!" Melody points behind them.

"Death! Let's go!" Margret pushes them back through the portal. 

Morgan grabs Kyles arm and jumps in.

They all fall through. 

"Quickly shut it!" Margret shouts. She stands. "Hand me your hands!" 

Morgan and Melody both stand as well and take her hand.

"Close your eyes!" Margret shouts.

Everyone does. 

"Wait!"

They all stop and look back.

Melody's eyes widen. "Kai!"

Kai jumped down off the cliff. He looked worried.
