In the Tai Yi Celestial Sect's estate, only a few people are privy to the reason the sky changed.
"This..."
"Is… is this the Duke Grade Divine Ability, the Eastern Purple Qi, from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect?"
Bai Ping and Tie Tai He, the Sect Leader and the Supreme Elder of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect respectively, stared at Duan Ling Tian with a shocked expression on their faces.
Duan Ling Tian easily flew into the air with Huan'er in his arm as his aura surged and exploded into a purple streak of light.
Boom!
The ground began to quake as the horizon near the Tai Yi Celestial Sect's estate turned purple…
"Master Duan has mastered the Eastern Purple Qi?"
"It looks like one of the methods from the Eastern Purple Qi called the Purple Void. This method can only be used once one has completely mastered the Eastern Purple Qi, right?"
"The Purple Void has shrouded the entire Tai Yi Celestial Sect's estate… Seems like the Purple Void cast by the two Ten Directions Celestial Dukes from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect didn't even reach 10% of the Purple Void that Master Duan cast, right?"
"Judging from Master Duan's display of strength… He must have surpassed the level of an ordinary Celestial King! It's impossible for an ordinary Celestial King to cast to such an overwhelmingly powerful Purple Void."
"It's said those targeted by the Purple Void will not be able to hide or escape as long as they remain in the Purple Void."
While Bai Ping and Tie Tia He discussed among themselves, the prominent Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, Situ Ming, and Ji Fan, the Arhat of the Blissful Sect, overheard their conversations. They were perplexed.
'Master Duan… Is a Celestial King?' Situ Ming was dumbfounded. It took him a while to regain his senses.
'Duan Ling Tian a Celestial King? In fact, he doesn't seem like an ordinary Celestial King. When he cast the Purple Void, it's far more powerful than when the two Ten Directions Celestial Dukes from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect cast it.' After overhearing Bai Ping and Tie Tai He's conversation and sensing Duan Ling Tian's aura, Ji Fan who was shocked and terrified fell to his knees and trembled uncontrollably. Many questions flitted in his mind at this moment. 'How's this possible? How's he so powerful? Didn't he just ascend here not too long ago? Isn't he younger than 100 years old? How's this possible?' He wished with all his might that the scene before him was just a nightmare.
After a few breaths, an energetic yet frightened voice rang in the air. A hint of false bravado could be heard in the tone. "The Eastern Purple Qi! Your mastery of the Eastern Purple Qi is, indeed, powerful! Not even an ordinary Celestial King is capable of this!" It was none other than Li An, the Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect, who had spoken.
At this moment, a disciple of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect who was hovering in the sky above the sect's estate cried out, "Look! The purple sky is starting to revert to its original color!" 
Everyone instinctively turned to look. They saw the purple energy receding at a fast speed.
"Look! There's a figure in the middle!"
A figure could be seen in the center where the purple energy seemed to be attracted to.
"It's a monk!"
"Isn't… Isn't that the Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect, Li An? I've met him once!"
"What? This shabby looking monk is the strongest Nine Palaces Celestial Duke in the Six Southern Regions, Li An?"
Li An who was surrounded by the purple energy looked miserable in his torn kasaya. His aura seemed to have disappeared.
Just as the people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect slowly approached Li An...
Swoosh!
A purple and white figure suddenly appeared out of thin air near Li An. Their appearance caught the attention of the people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect instantly.
"Isn't… isn't that Master Duan?"
"Lady Huan'er is there as well..."
The members of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, naturally, recognized Duan Ling Tian and Huan'er who were embracing tightly looked like they were one entity for a brief moment.
Duan Ling Tian scoffed and said disdainfully, "Who would expect the strongest Nine Palaces Celestial Duke in the Six Southeastern Regions would have such a day as well." His expression was calm. One of his arms was still wrapped tightly around Huan'er while the other rested on his back.
"Master Duan." At this time, Bai Ping, Tie Tai He, and Situ Ming finally arrived near Duan Ling Tian.
"Grandmaster!" Ji Fan cried out. He had tried to escape but was cowed by Bai Ping's pointed and threatening stare. He could only obediently follow them here. When he saw Li An's miserable and roughed up appearance, his expression changed drastically. He rushed to Li An's side. It was an instinctive reaction. After all, Li An was the only one who could make him feel secure at this moment regardless if it was obvious Li An was no match for Duan Ling Tian.
"Duan Ling Tian, I underestimated you." Li An looked at Duan Ling Tian and laughed mirthlessly. "I thought you're a mere transcender; I didn't expect you to be so strong… However, I don't think this is your true strength, right? You must have used some secret technique." Li An's energy had dropped drastically that he struggled just to speak. It was clear he was severely injured.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Before Duan Ling Tian could react, two beams of grey light shot out from Li An's glabella as he stared at Duan Ling Tian.
"A Soul Attack!" The people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect were shocked to see Li An casting a Soul Attack on Duan Ling Tian.
"Your resistance is futile!" Duan Ling Tian smirked coldly. He knew Li An would think his soul was not on par with the strength he displayed. After all, if he only possessed the strength of a Celestial Lord without the corresponding soul and Celestial Origin Energy, he would be vulnerable to Soul Attacks. Alas, he did not use such a secret technique. The consumable Royal Grade Weapon not only granted him strength comparable to Celestial Lord, but it also temporarily gave him the soul and Celestial Origin Energy of a Celestial King to match. Although it was just the strength of an ordinary Celestial Lord, it was still more than enough to conquer the entire Six Southeastern Regions if he so wished.
At this moment, a light flashed in Duan Ling Tian's left eye and easily destroyed Li An's Soul Attack before it hit Li An's soul.
Li An hastily said with his last breath before his soul was destroyed by Duan Ling Tian, "Duan Ling Tian, it was me who wanted to kill you. It has nothing to do with the Blissful Sect!"
"Is that so?" Duan Ling Tian sneered when he heard Li An's words.
At the same time, the purple energy that rendered Li An immobile finally disappeared with just a thought from Duan Ling Tian. Then, Li An's body fell from the sky and hit the ground with a loud thud.
Then, Duan Ling Tian smiled coldly as he looked at Ji Fan and asked, "Arhat… Is he telling the truth?"          




Earth’s top weapon specialist’s soul crossed over to an alternate world, merged with Rebirth Martial Emperor’s memories, cultivating Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique, sweeping through all opposition with invincible might!

Able to refine medicine, capable of crafting weapons, and knows the art of inscription….

Being skilled in all professions is the way of kings! 

The longer the people from Yan Luo Dian stayed in the city, the more they saw, making them feel like… this place was a completely different place from the Fu Guang City they had known. 
In the city, they saw many people who had once tried to enter Yan Luo Dian but were chased out because of their inadequate capabilities and the aura around these people had changed.
They saw many people holding onto a wooden stick with a dangling white fur and could not help but ask the leading middle-aged man, "Uh… what is the thing that everyone is carrying?"
The middle-aged man stopped in his tracks and turned to face their curious gazes. He smiled and said nothing else. He directly lifted the strange thing he had been holding and muttered some spell difficult to understand.
Instantly, flames emerged from the end of the white furtail and shot up into the sky with a swoosh.
The sorcerers from Yan Luo Dian were instantly stunned. They could tell with one look that the middle-aged man had used a fireball technique just now.
The fireball technique was the most basic and simple attack used by a sorcerer, and an ordinary sorcerer apprentice could cast it.
Casting a fireball spell would require a magic staff, and normally… the fireball could not fly into the sky.
But…
The middle-aged man did not use a magic staff to cast the fireball, and from what they saw, the power of the fireball had already exceeded that of a high-grade sorcerer.
But looking at the middle-aged man before them, he seemed to be only a mid-grade sorcerer. 
How could he cast such a powerful fireball technique?
"This is called a whisk." The middle-aged man looked at the Yan Luo Dian people's shocked faces, and his heart filled with pride.
"Whisk?" The group of people from Yan Luo Dian were perplexed and became curious about the item called whisk.
Looking at the buildings along the way, there were four corners sticking upwards on the roof. There were also stone beast sculptures on them, and each of the sculptures were something they had never seen before.
The Yan Luo Dian people, who had originally been arrogant, after entering the "Heavenly Courts", ended up becoming fools themselves. Everything that they saw were new to them and left them staring blankly.
And these were all noticed by the middle-aged man, making him feel even more proud.
The once almighty Yan Luo Dian was merely just this and could not be compared to their Queen's uncanny workmanship. 
As they continued to walk, they were dazed.
They watched as strange humanoid vines walked clumsily on the streets. They were either carrying baskets full of stones or goods, while the city people seemed to be used to their presence and naturally interacted with those humanoid vines.
This sight made the people from Yan Luo Dian completely stunned.
"What… what are those?"
"They are the most loyal servants to the Queen," the middle-aged man's tone was filled with pride.
Servants?
Those things could even be servants?
They were formed from a bunch of vines, yet they moved no differently from ordinary humans…
The people from Yan Luo Dian instantly felt that their understanding of the world had crumbled gradually.
What the hell was with this place!
Under an immense shock from all the jaw dropping and strange sightings, they finally arrived at the palace where Ji Fengyan was.
That was a dazzling golden, yet graceful and elegant palace. At the palace entrance, there was even a huge plaque hung up high, with the words "Lingxiao Palace" on it.


She was the most powerful immortal cultivator of the 24th century, but was transported to a world of sorcery and demons. There, she is persecuted by her family and ill-treated by her scumbag of a fiance… 


Want to bully her? Haha! She would be teaching them all a lesson very soon! 

Amazing sorcery? Here's a Five-Blow-Thunderstruck talisman that will smite you to dust! Superb medicine? One pot of my elixirs can turn a good-for-nothing into a genius! A fierce and might army? I can conjure up soldiers from just a handful of peas! 

The evils we bring upon ourselves are the hardest to bear. Submit to me and prosper, oppose me and perish! 

However… why is that handsome Grand Tutor sending her signals with his eyes all the time? 

Grand Tutor: "Aren't you going to take responsibility for your own actions?"

Li Nianfan said calmly, "I'll tell you now, mark down my words."
Without any delay, Meng Junliang took out his paper and pen, looking focused. 
Li Nianfan's voice was slow and steady as he recited the usages of each herb. As there were too many herbs around, he only picked the more common and important herbs to talk about. He could speak of the rest in the future. 
Even so, he had already spoken for half an hour before stopping for a break.
Meng Junliang and Zho Yunwu looked delighted! They looked at the written words as if looking at the most precious treasure in the world.
Even if there was a chance for them to be Immortalized, they would not exchange this moment for that. They had attained a long list of usages that could affect hundreds of thousands of ordinary men. This would be their survival guide!
Not only that, even Yao Mengji and Qin Manyun could feel the importance of this list.
With this list in hand, the vitality of ordinary men would improve drastically. In the future, they could rely less on the cultivators.
What was the most important thing for a group of people?
Independence!
If they kept relying on others, it was equivalent to their lives being controlled by others. They would always be the weaker ones. Once they gained independence, their mindsets would be different and they would improve drastically!
Zhou Yunwu's eyes were brimming with tears. He stood up and bowed three times in a row to Li Nianfan. "Sir, on behalf of the rest of mankind, I thank you for your insights!"
Li Nianfan accepted it. Suddenly, he added on, "Oh right, there's one more important thing!"
"Sir, please, tell us."
Li Nianfan said with a solemn tone, "This medicine book must be shared and spread to everyone to pass on the knowledge, but the book must be copyrighted! This book contains the law of nature. No piracy is allowed!"
Zhou Yunwu's face turned serious. He said instantly, "Rest assured, sir. I'll use the power of the nation to protect the originality of the book! I'll destroy all pirated copies!"
Li Nianfan looked satisfied. "Very well. You're lucky to have such a good understanding. Therefore, I'll teach you one more thing."
Zhou Yunwu was delighted. "Please, teach us, sir."
Li Nianfan asked, "How's your production of food?"
Zhou Yunwu said with a troubled face, "Not so well since our production of food is heavily affected by external factors. We haven't been producing a lot. It's not enough to feed all of us, especially since the plague hit. It came with famine."
Due to the shortage of food, he had begged the cultivators for help on more than one occasion. During the drought, he begged them to cast a spell for rain. During winter storms, he asked them to cast a warming spell.
Li Nianfan turned to Meng Junliang and asked, "Mr. Meng, after visiting all the places you've been to, you must've seen different kinds of food production. Did you notice anything?"
After a moment of thinking, Meng Junliang told him the one that made the deepest impression on him, "Most foods are from the same kind but different breeds. Even their characteristics are different."
Li Nianfan smiled and concluded, "Exactly! Have you thought of using two breeds, or even more breeds to cross-breed? This is so that they can make up for each other's shortcomings and produce a breed that can withstand winters and droughts."
Vroom!
Everyone's minds were blown!
Such a different way of thinking instantly turned their worlds upside down! They had goosebumps all over!
So, so, so shocking!
Only an expert who understood the world thoroughly could come up with such an idea!
To breed animals that made up for each other's shortcomings? Was this not the same as humans?
If this was possible, they could pass this knowledge down for generations. Ordinary men would be self-sufficient!
The expert was indeed a Godly man!
Meng Junliang felt enlightened, as if a pathway in his head had cleared. His eyes lit up like two lightbulbs. "I understand now! I understand now!"
What was Dao? This was Dao!
To know each being well enough to use them accordingly!
Meanwhile, a soldier rushed in hastily. He said to Zhou Yunwu in a tormented voice, "Prince, the men don't believe in our medicine."
They all frowned. 
Zhou Yunwu scoffed coldly, "Why so?"
The soldier said awkwardly, "They believe in…the Demon God."
Li Nianfan sighed softly. "Let's go out and have a look."
They all walked out of the palace.
They could see that the street was somehow crowded with people who had gathered in a group. This group of people looked wild as they chanted along with the ten or so men in black robes. They were chanting for the Demon God!
Yao Mengji's eyes sparkled. Instantly, he saw his chance to impress the expert. He said hastily, "Mr. Li, some demons have possessed these men. I'll help you sort it out right away!"
Li Nianfan said, "Thank you, Mr. Yao."
After a pause, he said, "Oh right, Mr. Yao. I need another favor from you. Later on, you could…"
"Mr. Li's a genius! It's a small matter. Just sit back and watch!" Yao Mengji laughed and went away. He felt good about himself. These demons were here for him to impress the expert!
Li Nianfan sighed again.
These ordinary men had to be more independent!
Li Nianfan hoped that there would be a clever leader leading the ordinary men, helping them to be independent!
This was the same for himself as well.
Respect was something one could only earn for one's self.
If the ordinary men did not respect themselves, how would they earn the respect of the cultivators?
Li Nianfan was an ordinary man with many cultivating friends. Although they were all friendly, if the rest of the ordinary men were all ignorant, humble, and low, it would drag him down as well.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yunwu was already standing on a tall tower. He called out, "Everyone, I'm the Prince of the Xia Kingdom, Zhou Yunwu. Please, believe me. We have the medicine to fight against the plague now. We'll be fine!"
Zhou Yunwu was a Prince, so his appearance did attract some audience.
Someone called out, "Lies! Even the Emperor of the Xia Kingdom doesn't dare to come out. Who would believe you?"
Zhou Yunwu straightened his face. He ordered, "Bring out the people!"
Instantly, a soldier appeared. He brought out all the infected patients.
Under the eyes of everyone, Zhou Yunwu gradually made his way to the patients. 
He said to everyone in a loud voice, "As the Prince of the Xia Kingdom, from today onward, I'll live and eat with all the patients! We'll get treated together and wait for recovery!"
Everyone fell silent. 
This scene was too shocking! Everyone was stunned!
He was the Prince. Yet he was willing to risk his life for the people?
Suddenly, everyone started to hesitate. 
Among the people, a demon's face sank. The demon gradually approached Zhou Yunwu to kill him. 
However, before the demon could approach him, he silently vanished from the world. 
Yao Mengji smiled faintly as he pointed a finger at the leading demon and cast a spell.
Instantly, a gust of wind blew at them. The demon's black robes were blown away, revealing a face full of red marks!
Instantly, everyone went into an uproar, running in all directions.
"So, the disciple of the Demon God has been infected! There's no use believing in the Demon God!"
"I believe in Prince Zhou!"
"Prince Zhou is even risking his life to prove it to us! The medicine will work!"
"We're saved! All hail Prince Zhou!"
…
Soon, the crowd calmed down.
Li Nianfan looked at Zhou Yunwu and said, "I hope Prince Zhou can lead the ordinary men, teach them, and be an ordinary-man-loving Emperor!"
Zhou Yunwu looked determined. "I've learned a lot from your teaching today. Rest assured, the day will come. However, I have a humble request."
Li Nianfan paused slightly. "Oh? What is it?"
Zhou Yunwu said anxiously, "If I were to face any problems along the way, can you please guide me?"
"Ha-ha-ha, no problem," Li Nianfan agreed.
He knew the importance of an Emperor. If he could help an Emperor, he would feel good about himself!
After coming to the Immortal Realm for five years, he was finally able to show off a little. After all, he had finally done something meaningful. He did not come here for nothing!
Li Nianfan was in a good mood. He said, "Oh right, let me write you some words."
Zhou Yunwu was delighted. He said in excitement, "Please, sir!"
Qin Manyun and Yao Mengji were so envious! The expert was being so nice to this ordinary Emperor!
Daji prepared the ink. Li Nianfan picked up the brush.
Since they were all in this Immortal Realm, and this was written for an ordinary man, he could not think of four better words than these!
A powerful rush of air shot upward into the sky. Instantly, there were some changes in the world. The crowd could not help holding breaths while their hearts skipped a beat. 
Li Nianfan's brush had landed on the paper…
[Man Can Conquer Nature]!


The Immortal Dao is ethereal, and Immortals are hard to find.

Li Nianfan had descended into the cultivation world as a mortal. After learning that he has no hope in cultivation, he only wants to live a peaceful life.

However…

The dog he adopts becomes a demon king of a generation when it sees his poems and paintings. It manages to suppress an entire world.

The tree he plants behind his house becomes a World Tree after listening to his zither music, forming a bridge between heaven and earth.

He meets a passerby who is enlightened by him and becomes an immortal sage who leads an entire generation.

When he looks back—

It turns out that the scholar who had been pestering him for his calligraphy and paintings despite having crappy chess skills, is a chess saint from the Immortal Realm. The beautiful woman who comes to listen to his music every night is the number one saintess of the Immortal Realm…

The faction named Soul World caused Seiji to recall the antagonist faction in the Thunderbolt puppet show from his previous world.
The Thunderbolt puppet show was a series of puppet shows that all had the word "Thunderbolt" in its name. Puppet shows, as per the name, were performances held by manipulating puppet marionettes.
The Thunderbolt puppet show series was a miracle amongst all puppet shows back in his previous world! Not only did it successfully have a television drama made about it that spanned over two thousand episodes, there was even a movie.
The puppet show made use of modern technology and computer CGI to improve itself, which helped improve its effects much better than what could be done with only traditional methods. However, what people paid attention to the most was still its outstanding plot.
Apart from traditional wuxia, the series also had mystical and science fiction elements, with demons, monsters, vampires from western culture, robots, biologically engineered humans, and other such characters. There were space and time dimensional battles that took place in the past as well as dimensional traveling to other worlds for battles in different dimensions… it was a series that kept up with the times, just like an anime or a manga would!
Seiji understood all this because a famous scriptwriter for depressing stories who was also known as a "Warrior of Love" had written the script for one of this puppet show's scripts. And, this puppet show had a movie produced and directed by the same Thunderbolt puppet show company.
At the time that he learned all this, he felt that it was truly eye-opening. If it wasn't for the fact that he found it difficult to accept the drawing style for the puppet show's media, he might even have become a fan.
Cough, he had gotten sidetracked.
At any rate, there was a gigantic antagonist faction in the Thunderbolt puppet show series named Soul World as well, which was why he'd thought about it. As for this world, did the name "Soul World" have some particular meaning for the mystical society?
"It does," Natsuya told him. "The legends about a 'Soul World' refer to a special dimension that exists in the nether world, where countless ghosts and demon spirits that want to return to life in our world will gather along other demons and spirits that want to come to come to our world to spread harm and chaos. They'll constantly crash against the barriers between the nether world and our world. However, the barrier will absorb their power and automatically repair itself, so their actions only harm themselves, and are considered meaningless."
Seiji rubbed his chin in contemplation.
"If they're naming themselves after such a location, does that hint at their goal being to have demons and spirits fill our world?"
"It's possible, but it's also possible that they want to have a mysterious-sounding name." Natsuya shrugged.
As for what the organization's name really meant, only the organization's members would know. There was no point in being too concerned about it for now. Seiji understood.
But, the night of one hundred demons was already going on, and on top of that, having learned the meaning behind this faction's name… Seiji was feeling a faintly ominous premonition.
"I'd like to be able to protect my friends that are just ordinary people. Is there some good method to do this?"
"How many do you want to protect?" Natsuya looked towards him.
"About ten or so."
"They wouldn't happen to all be girls, would they?"
"No… there are boys as well."
"How many are boys?"
"…Two."
Natsuya didn't respond for a long while to this.
Seiji felt like it was rather painful being stared at by her.
"If you want to protect ordinary people, you can set up magic barriers around them," Natsuya told him after staring at him for several seconds. "You can have barrier spells cast around their persons or place barriers where they live."
"Barriers… the ones I know now are only capable of protecting myself." Seiji sighed. "I wonder if Shika-chan is able to cast barrier spells…"
Shika knew how to use basic barrier spells, but he was unsure whether she was capable of casting long-lasting maintainable barrier spells that were strong enough to defend against demons and spirits. He would have to ask her later.
"You can also hire a Spiritual Ability user to cast barrier spells on the people important to you."
"How much would the price be for that?"
"I'm not sure myself… It's probably influenced by several factors such as whether the barrier spell is for a person or a location, as well as the strength of the barrier and size of the barrier, so the price will likely fluctuate greatly."
"Please introduce someone who can cast such barrier spells to me."
"I think that it's better if you ask Houjou-san rather than me. She's more knowledgeable than I am in this area."
Seiji nodded.
"I have to leave now as I still have other things I must do," Natsuya told him. "If anything else happens, contact me."
"Yeah… I'm grateful to you, Natsuya."
The two of them left the study.
Something flashed in Kaede's eyes as she stood up when she saw that Natsuya Yoruhana was preparing to leave.
"President Yoruhana, may I discuss something with you?"
"Hmm?" Natsuya looked towards the blonde teacher. "Is there something the matter? Juumonji-sensei."
"Yes, it's about the Juumonji Group…" Kaede walked closer to her and began whispering. "Last night, someone in our group was attacked by a demon, and was seriously injured… We're all quite worried because we don't know if something similar will happen again tonight…"
"You should discuss this problem of yours with Seiji as he'll know how to deal with it," Natsuya told her. "I have something urgent to take care of, so I don't have the time right now. Please forgive me."
"Ah… I'm sorry for bothering you."
"Please don't say that, I should be the one apologizing for being unable to help out… Goodbye."
The student council president left.
Seiji returned to his apartment after seeing her out.
"Harano-kun… I'm sorry." Kaede lowered her head in apology.
"Eh? Why are you apologizing?" Seiji was confused.
The blonde teacher had an expression of guilt, but she didn't explain anything.
After a momentary silence.
"I don't feel like you have anything to apologize for, so I don't really know what's going on." Seiji looked towards Kaede. "But, if you don't want to explain, then I won't pry."
"Thank you…" Kaede looked at him. "Harano-kun… you're so gentle."
Why was it that her favorability rating of him was suddenly shooting up?
Seiji was mystified by this, but immediately put it behind him.
"As for how to defend against sudden demon attacks, I know the method now. Wait for me for a moment, as I need to discuss some things with some people."
After telling this to Kaede, he went to go knock on his adopted sister's door.
He met with Shika and explained the situation to her.
"I'm able to cast and maintain demon-repelling barriers, but I'm unable to be too far away from my own barriers or they'd collapse… I can't make a barrier to the extent Brother wants. I apologize." Shika lowered her head.
"No need to apologize, I'm not blaming you." Seiji smiled wryly. 'Why is everyone apologizing to me all of a sudden?'
He reached out and patted his adopted younger sister on the head.
"It's fine if you can't do it. There's other methods available. No need for you to feel bad."
After coaxing Shika, he went back to his study and made a call with his cell phone.
"Good afternoon, junior. What business do you have with me?"
"Good afternoon, Senpai. I've come to give you some more work again."
"Heh heh, do you want to deal with someone again?" He heard the sound of Mai chuckling.
"No, the opposite. I want to protect some people…"
Seiji explained the situation.
"Establishing magical barriers… I have an acquaintance that's skilled at this," Mai told him after listening to what he needed. "Her prices are quite high, but her barriers are highly reliable. You get what you pay for."
"What's her specific price range?"
"It's better if you ask her directly. Her name is Shizuka Saran. Let me contact her first. Wait for a few minutes."
They ended their conversation there.
Shizuka… this name caused Seiji to recall Doraemon as that was the name of the female lead in that story about a blue chubby robotic cat. She was the goddess of his childhood.
As for Shizuka's last name in the Doraemon story, Seiji figured that few people would remember it. However, her last name was Minamoto, the same Minamoto as Minamoto no Raiko.
Seiji patiently waited.
A few minutes later, an unfamiliar phone number called his cell phone.
"Good afternoon."
"Good afternoon… am I speaking to Seigo Harano-san?" a soft-sounding female voice spoke on the phone.
"That's me."
"I'm Shizuka Saran… Houjou-san told me that you would like to request my services for magical barriers… is that the case?"
"Yes, what's your asking price for such a service, Saran-san?"
"Houjou-san told me that you intend to protect ordinary people… in such a scenario, I recommend that you use the reactive-type barrier…"
Barriers' activation methods included reactive types that only activated on an attack, barrier types that could be activated at any time, or combination types that were an overlap of the two.
To use analogies, the first type was like a landmine that would automatically activate when a demon attacked. The second type was more like a hand grenade and could be activated at any time when necessary. The third type was a combination of the two, being both reactive and possible to be activated.
For ordinary people, the reactive type was the most recommended. The barrier could be maintained for seventy-two hours. The lowest-strength reactive-type barrier would cost 150,000 sakuras for the seventy-two hours.
If the reactive barrier was activated within its maintainable timeframe, it would transform into a normal strength barrier. After seventy-two hours, it would still work, but the barrier's strength would gradually decrease more and more, and holes would even appear in it. In order to maintain the barrier's strength, it would require the additional injection of Mana into it as a form of recharging. Recharging the barrier would cost 100,000 sakuras for each time.
The longer the barrier could be maintained without recharging, or the stronger the barrier's strength, the higher the price would be. The same went for the price to recharge.
As for fixed-location barriers, the price to cast a barrier over a 25 square meter area was roughly three times the price to cast a barrier on a person.
After learning all of this, Seiji told Shizuka that he would consider things.


Translator note: Apologies to the readers. This series is currently on hiatus. We ask for your understanding!
A 30-year-old Chinese NEET is reincarnated into the body of an otaku that choked to death on instant noodles. As he comes to grips with his new life, he realizes that this world is subtly different from Earth. The denizens of this world are far better looking, and this new world also possesses futuristic technology as well as mysterious Yin Yang masters! 
After reincarnating, he realized that he was endowed with a miraculous game-like system, which enables him to increase his own stats and transcend the limits of the human body. This system even has a game-breaking ability to save and load in real life!
In this new world that’s akin to a 2-D game, he just wants to enjoy life and head for a glorious future... However, he is quickly embroiled in a complex plot. Can he unlock his true potential and utilize his system to break the shackles that confine him and discover the truth about his previous body’s circumstances? 

When Hou Qing Lin and Yu Xiao left, people suddenly came back to their senses. Many people were grinding their teeth. They wanted to go to Ba Huang and become imperial cultivation disciples, even if they couldn't, at least they would see extremely strong cultivators and travel the world.

　　

"Die!" shouted someone in the crowd. It was the patriarch of the Xiao Yao Sect.

　　

Real emperors were recruiting disciples, it was an incredible opportunity for many people. A once in a lifetime opportunity, but now, he had lost an arm and he couldn't heal it with his blood strength. He was going insane.

　　

Tian Chi would definitely pay the price. He was going to kill ordinary citizens of the Tian Chi Empire.

　　

"Tian Chi's people, listen carefully, starting from now on, I'm going to slaughter the ordinary citizens of your empire. If you don't come out, I will slaughter them all in a day. I will keep massacring them until you come out. If you want to see your entire people die, then continue hiding behind your spell." said the patriarch of the Xiao Yao Sect maniacally. Nobody doubted that the patriarch of the Xiao Yao Sect was insane now.

　　

Tian Chi's people glanced at each others. Many people also looked at Mister Tian Ji.

　　

"Stay here. I'm going." said Mister Tian Ji coldly.

　　

"No." shouted some people from Tian Ji. "Teacher, there are too many of them, they will join hands and kill you."

　　

"Indeed, that's why we're going together."

　　

"We can't possibly go together." said Mister Tian Ji while shaking his head. "We have to protect our religion and our empire. I am the leader of Tian Chi so I can't let Tian Chi's people die like this. They won't necessarily defeat me. If we go together, even though those people have lost many of their strong cultivators, they belong to some of the biggest groups of Gan Yu and could kill you. That would mean the end of Tian Chi."

　　

Everybody looked desperate. The patriarch of the Xiao Yao Sect was so shameless. How could he attack ordinary people?

　　

"You're deceiving yourself as well as the others." said someone reprimanding Mister Tian Ji. The crowd was astonished because Lin Feng was contradicting their leader.

　　

"Teacher, if you go to save your people alone, then you are expecting to die and expecting to hurt Tian Chi. If we go together, even if we die together, we at least have a chance at surviving" Lin Feng reasoned.

The old man was speechless. Then he shook his head and said, "What can I do, Lin Feng? Don't forget that I am the leader of Tian Chi, I can't stay here and watch my people die."

　　

"There is a solution." said Lin Feng. The old man was surprised.

　　

"What solution?" Everybody was looking at Lin Feng. What solution?

　　

"Does anyone have any item to increase speed? The faster the better." said Lin Feng.

　　

"I do." said one of the leaders. "I use wind abstruse energy and can use mysterious marks. I put my energy in a talisman which allows me to move with extreme speed. You can have it if you want."

　　

The leader took out a ring and threw at Lin Feng.

　　

"It's a very precious item. You can't find such items in Gan Yu." said the leader of Yao Guang.

　　

Lin Feng nodded and caught the ring. He then bowed, "Thank you, teacher."

　　

Lin Feng inspected the content of the ring with his godly awareness and found many talismans. He found the right one and then started flying in the sky.

　　

"Little Lin Feng, what are you doing?" said the snow Zun cultivator. Surprisingly, Lin Feng was charging the enemy.

　　

"Teacher, I have to bear the responsibility for what I did. I can't let Tian Chi's people die because of me." said Lin Feng calmly. "Don't worry. Nothing will happen to me."


 
　　

Very quickly, Lin Feng left Tian Chi and arrived at the entrance of the empire where the enemies had gathered.

　　

Everybody was surprised to see Lin Feng. Why had he come alone? Did he want to commit suicide?

　　

"Old dog." shouted Lin Feng extremely loudly. Everybody was astonished, especially the patriarch of the Xiao Yao Sect. He turned around and stared at Lin Feng.

　　

Lin Feng was alone!

　　

They had almost given up on the idea of capturing Lin Feng and now he was handing himself to them! Did he want to surrender?

　　

Lin Feng had precious items, he had even managed to cast powerful deployment spells.

　　

"Old dog, stay here and kill everybody slowly. I'm going to the Xiao Yao Sect to cast a huge deployment spell, then I'll go to Jade Heaven and then to the East Sea Dragon Palace and so on. I can't stay here to play with you guys. See you!"

　　

Lin Feng glanced back at the crowd with a cold smile, grabbed his talisman, and disappeared into the horizon.

　　

"Pfffewww…" Lin Feng left a strong wind behind him as he left. Lin Feng wasn't going back to Tian Chi, he was going in the opposite direction. Was he going to destroy the Xiao Yao Sect for real?

　　

"Do you think you can leave just like that?" shouted the patriarch of the Xiao Yao Sect furiously. He then used his Xiao Yao agility technique and chased after Lin Feng.

　　

Lin Feng was faster than him though, how come? Was that possible?

　　

"Slash." a sword light streaked across the sky. The patriarch of the Nine Cloud Swords Sect followed Lin Feng. He had only come to Tian Chi for Lin Feng.

　　

"Let's go." shouted Duan Mu furiously. King Dragon, Mie Qing and the patriarch of the Necropolis Sect all followed them.

　　

Lin Feng was escaping. They had to catch up with him and kill him.

　　

Everybody was astonished. Lin Feng was so fast..

　　

"Lin Feng!"

　　

Snowflakes were still floating around Tian Chi. The crowd was gazing into the distance. Many people were surprised. Not only had Lin Feng cast an extremely powerful deployment spell with abstruse energy in Tian Chi, but he was also sacrificing himself to protect Tian Chi now. He assumed his responsibilities. Tian Chi was lucky to have such a dedicated disciple.

　　

The snow Zun cultivator and Mister Tian Ji glanced at each other. They understood each that they had to leave as well.

　　

"Everybody, stay here." shouted the snow Zun cultivator and Mister Tian Ji. In a flash, they appeared at the entrance of Tian Chi where the enemies were gathered.

　　

"Die!" shouted the two old men. They released their Qi and attacked all the remaining people.

　　

The crowd was astonished. The patriarch of the Xiao Yao Sect and the others were chasing Lin Feng, so nobody could withstand those two old men's attacks.

　　

"Slash, slash…" terrifying energies fell down from the sky, like lightning.

　　

"Escape, hurry up!" the crowd finally understood what was going on. The two strong cultivators were going to kill them all, so they had to escape!

This was made purely for fun and not for profit. 

Lin Feng tried to be the diligent and hard-working good guy. He studied hard, did his best to make his family proud, and not get into trouble, but when he saw a girl being taken advantage of, he had to intervene. He had been tricked, sentenced to 10 years in jail and framed for a crime he never committed, all was lost. If his life was over he would take those who ruined his life with him

Suddenly he opens his eyes again. He is not dead, but alive in the body of the Lin Feng of a different world. This Lin Feng had been killed as trash of cultivation. This world where the strong had no regard for human life and would kill freely if they had the strength. Called “trash” and thrown away, with vengeance in his heart he will rise to new heights opposing the will of heaven and earth.

“Do not judge others in ignorance within my presence.

Those who think to harm someone should be ready to be harmed.

Those who are open and respectful shall receive my kindness and respect.

Those who plot against me are seeking their own death.

This is true, for I am death… I am Lin Feng”. . . . .

Ayaan and Rebecca walked out of the room. Many servants were present there, but when they turned towards Ayaan, a chill ran down in their bodies. In the right hand of Ayaan was the of Oriel, which was dripping with blood.


Whoever saw the head in his hand took a few steps away in fear. Ayaan just smiled at there behavior without bothering to say anything to these minor people.


Ayaan and Rebecca didn't go to inform Darren about anything and walked towards the city exit.


Darren was sitting on the chair in his study room when the knocking sound on his door resounded.


'Knock~ knock~.'


He looked at the gate before stating, "Come in."


A servant entered the study room with a lowered head and reported, "My Lord, the lady Rebecca and that boy went towards the city exit."


A deep frown appeared on his face when he heard a servant. He wasn't that strong, but he wasn't a stupid person. Darren knew there would be more powerful enemies arriving in the city, but if they lose their last hope Rebecca, who was the only one who had the strength to fight with those demons, no one will be able to survive in the city.


He didn't know that Rebecca lost her all magic power or that it might be even worse for Ayaan and Rebecca because Darren wasn't the person who will survive his life for a fake niece.


Darren always wondered about the origin of this girl but never dared to ask her because of her strength. He had just given her a place to stay, and she helped him gain control over the city from the shadows.


"What are your orders, my lord?" The servant who was waiting at the side spoke.


"Just send two people to find their destination, but don't do anything stupid if anymore enemy comes, we will just tell them their location," Darren replied after thinking for some time.


"The City Lord is as wise as ever."The servant immediately praised him.


After a servant left the room, a worried expression appeared on Darren's face before murmuring, "I hope everything will go according to the plan."


Errol's mansion was also in commotion after hearing the news about the departure of Rebecca and as well sent people to follow their trails.


When everything was in a mess in the city, and everyone was playing their cards, Rebecca and Ayaan arrived at the exit gate of the town. 


As guards saw the faces of the two people, a fearful look emerged on their faces. They were repairing the walls of the city, which were destroyed in the fight previously.


Both Rebecca and Ayaan didn't pay any attention to anyone present and continued their journey.


After walking more than two miles, Ayaan thought something and opened the magic library. He still didn't have any spell of death element, and mage without spell was like an ordinary person. His body was more substantial than humans because he was a demon, but if he were to encounter a mage, he wouldn't be able to take a single direct hit.


As he opened the magic library, many categories appeared.


1: Spells

2: Runes

3: Magic weapons and gadgets 

4: Magic Arts

.

.

.


Without glancing on other options, he opened the spell category.


After that, he chose the death element, and many spells compatible with the death element appeared.


He browsed them one by one. His eyes landed on the spell named, 'Mind corrupter.' It was a spell capable of eroding the mind of a person and turn anyone into his slave.


Ayaan's eyes shinned with anticipation when he saw the spell's details, but as the requirement for casting the spell appeared, All the excitement disappeared from his face.


The spell was sky rank, and only great mages had the requirement to cast the spell. If any lower mage were to try to cast the spell, he would invite only death. Spells of death element weren't easy to cast, one mistake, and you will turn into a mummy devoured by your spell.


Ayaan didn't have any option but to move to another spell. After searching for ten more minutes, he found a spell that suited him. The name of the spell was 'death eye.' According to the description, after practicing this spell, the spell could kill anyone with lower magic power in a single glance and heavily injured the soul of those who was powerful than him if he was able to catch them off guard.


The spell was in parts. It was divided based on realms of mages. Ayaan was a junior mage, so he purchased a portion of novice mage and a junior mage with 50 credits.


After purchasing the spell, a scroll appeared in his hand, containing two parts of the spell.


Rebecca, who was walking side by side him became curious when she saw the scroll in his hand and asked him curiously, "What is this scroll?"


"Oh, it's just a low-class spell scroll." He replied casually.


She looked at him with a strange gaze and asked, "Do you know the value of a low-class spell scroll?"


Ayaan turned to look at her when he heard her before asking curiously, "You mean the value of a single low-class spell in high?"


Rebecca chuckled when she heard him, "Yes, do you think all the spell people in the city were using is there own?"


Ayaan nodded with a confused expression. Rebecca saw him nodding and shrugged, "No, you are wrong. The king of this kingdom gave every spell to these people, and every ordinary citizen can only practice a single spell if they were to found practicing the second spell they receive severe punishments for this."


Ayaan didn't know what to think because, at one side king seems kind who gave a spell to all the people of his kingdom, but on the other hand, he forbade them to use a second spell. What does he want to do? 


Rebecca saw the confused expression and chuckled before explaining, "Do you think it's strange?"


Ayaan nodded while Rebecca asked another question, which bewildered him, "What do you think will the king do if other kingdoms were to attack his kingdom?"


He thought for sometime before replying, "He will need lots of soldiers when the war comes, and at that time, he will recruit these ordinary people as his cannon fodders."


"Correct," she smiled and continued, "So, the king isn't kind, but he is just securing his future, but at the same time, he doesn't want to give these ordinary people much power because he fears rebellion."


"What a cunning man." Ayaan murmured.


"Yes, he is cunning, so you need to be careful when you use this spell and never let anyone see this scroll," Rebecca explained the severity of the situation, after understanding, Ayaan nodded and continued to read his new spell.


Two days passed in the blink. Now, Ayaan knew where they were going and where he was. They were going to the capital of the Caspian kingdom, Izhale. And the country was in the Eastern region of the world Aemmugar.


Ayaan was shocked after knowing how vast this world was; even six-seven earth won't be able to compare this world.


After walking for two days, they were already halfway through to Izhale. As they were talking to each other, Ayaan's brows twitched, and he looked behind them. An evil smirk appeared on his face.


"Are you going to follow us wherever we go? Why don't you walk with us if you are going in the same direction."
