Re-Ch 22: The Black Book

It has been nearly 1.75 years (1 year and 9 months) since the duel. Yang feng has been on many missions during the time and earned a lot of contribution points and merit. The merit he earned coupled with his own strength lead him to be promoted to an elite disciple.

He was also able to increase his cultivation to the 8th stage of Separation and Reunion Realm, while compressing his Qi to the limit possible.

As he continued to compress his Qi, he noticed something, all of his yuan Qi was a lot more pure than then even the true Qi of average true element realm cultivators true Qi. Although it had increased in quality but his Qi didn't change into true Qi, which he attributed to the rules of Martial Peak universe/reality.

There was also something different about his yuan qi, something unique. His Qi didn't seem to have any type of attribute but he could use martial techniques belonging to all elements. This allowed him to use any type of skills without restrictions, but he chose the path of quality over quantity.

Not only his cultivation but all his profession improved as well. But there was one thing that has been bothering him for a few months now and he was honestly starting to get a little desperate.

No matter what he did or wherever he looked, he just could not find the mystic demon tomb. Whenever he went outside on a mission, he would look for the tomb for as long as he could, but the result always disappointed him.

Today was one such day, he just came back from a mission and already submitted the item requested in the mission to the mission hall. "*Sigh* why can't I find it anywhere?", Yang Feng being depressed just went around the sect at a walking pace.

When he passed by the training hall he saw his brother Yang Kai training with some other disciples. This Yang Kai was different than the original because of his intervention. Yang Kai in the last year was able to advance to 5th stage body tempering realm with the help of the pills he had given him.

'Although, he can reach 7th stage body tempering realm but will not be able to advance beyond that, unless his condition is fully healed.' yang feng thought while looking at yang kai.

As Yang Feng was about leave he heard Yang Kai calling him," big brother Yang Feng!". As Yang Feng turned around he saw Yang Kai coming towards him.

"What is it?", Yang Feng asked him curiously.

Yang Kai looked at him with worry and instead of answering him, he asked Yang Feng," are you alright? You look a bit destressed these days." Yang Feng was a little surprised by the question and sighed.

"It's nothing too meager, I'm just trying to find something but no matter what I do I can't seem to find it.", Yang Feng just answered without thinking much of it. When Yang Kai heard what he said, he was relieved that nothing bad happened to his big brother.

Yang Kai really appreciated his brother and even looked up to him, not that he will say that out loud. Yang Feng had given him his full support to be able to cultivate, provided him with pills and had an unusual confidence in him that he will become a powerhouse eventually.

So when Yang Kai heard that his brother was looking for something and from his depressed behavior these days that thing must be of great importance. Yang Kai wanted to help his brother in finding what he was looking for so he asked," what are you looking for?".

Yang feng looked at him and after a moment told him," it is a black stone the size of a a brick, I don't know what it is made of but it is of great importance to me." Just as he said that, he saw Yang Kai's face turn strange.

Yang Kai suddenly turned and asked him to follow him. Yang Feng followed Yang Kai towards his shared room a bit confused,' what happened to him...huhhh isn't that..', as Yang Feng was thinking to himself about Yang Kai's weird action, he saw Yang Kai coming outside carrying a black stone that looked quite familiar to Yang Feng.

"Is this what you are looking for brother?", Yang Kai looked at Yang Feng's shocked expression and knew that it was indeed the correct item. Still shocked Yang Feng asked him," where did you find it."

Yang Kai replied," I just found it on the ground when I was training in the forest around the sect." When Yang Feng heard his reply, he was livid as he spent nearly 2 whole years looking for it and didn't even see it's shadow, but Yang Kai found it near the sect on one of his training session.

'Is this fate? I have been doing everything to look for it and didn't find it, but Yang Kai found it even without looking for it.*sigh*' Yang Feng wondered while Yang Kai gave him the black stone.

After taking the stone from Yang Kai, he went towards his cottage which he gained after his promotion to an elite disciple. When he entered the Cottage, he activated the arrays he had put up on the cottage so that no one would be able to spy on him, even with a divine sense, and cancel out any sound going outside.

After he was done with that, he turned his focus towards the black stone or the mystic demon tomb. He slowly walked towards his cultivation mat, where he had thrown the stone. He then sat down cross legged on the mat and grabbed the stone.

After looking at it for a minute he made a cut on his thumb and dropped a few drops of his blood on the stone. At first there was not even a slight change in the stone, but after a few moments the blood on the stone was absorbed by it. The stone slowly flew in the air and transformed into a black book.

When Yang Feng looked at the book, a blooming smile broke out on his face. After the transformation, the book floated back into his hands. Yang Feng directly opened the book and saw some words with a golden glow slowly appearing on the book.

It stated:<THE BLOOD IS CITED, THE GOLDEN BODY DESCENDS, NOT A MIRACLE, BUT IMMORTAL, PROUD BODY, RULES FENCE, INDOMITABLE SPIRIT, WILL IT DESCEND>

Looking at the words Yang Feng felt that the words held an ominous arua to them, but that only affected him for a second. He then again bit his thumb and dropped a drop of blood on the page.

Once the page came into contact with blood, it shone with golden light and the next moment a golden skeleton was in front of yang feng floating in the air. As he gazed at the skeleton, he felt a type of spiritual power trying to influence him. Yang Feng already thought that this might happen so he didn't reach out towards the skeleton. Wanting to see what would it do if he didn't reach out.

The skeleton saw this and rushed towards him, colliding with him. Once the skeleton collidied with him, it entered his body. He then felt that the skeleton was trying to devour his bones to replace it like it did with yang kai in the original. But suddenly he felt something from his physique.

He suddenly felt so much anger fill him, he felt that a lower being was being disrespectful to him and he should teach that lower being a lesson.
