Power Or Pride

{Although I went through this chapter there might be some mistakes as I'm half asleep. My sleep schedule has been off for the past few days. this is why you have me posting chapters at night and stuff. I will post a bonus chapter hopefully in 5 hours, if not then it will be in 7 hours.

Thanks for the support. But I will have to cut back on trying to have every chapter be 3,000 words. If you guys have any questions, ask away. I will try my best to answer them.}

"... Impossible." Shock filled the Frozen Cloud Asgard founder as she lay on the ground, with me sitting on her back, enjoying my pizza. She wanted to get up, but it was like a mountain was on her back. She, an immortal was so easily defeated by someone at level 2 Qi Condensation? She was shocked.

"Impossible? there is nothing thats impossible, you just lack the capability to do it.." I said while standing up. She stood up, and oddly enough for a powerful expert like she was... she did not show any killing intent.

Weakened or not, she was still an immortal. without the lower realm, She was sure that she should somewhat be the strongest being here. Even if someone was stronger, she shouldn't have lost so quickly and so easily. One move and she was a chair for someone else... to make things worse, I wasn't even a High Saint, which was above the Saint realm.

Above the Saint realm was a High Saint, followed by a Saint King which was the peak of the lower realm...

She looked at me for a moment, before she stepped forward, punching towards me. She reached speeds that this lower realm couldn't handle, yet she moved in such a way that her speed didn't rip apart this world.

She attacked at full power, yet each move she threw was smoothly dodged by me. Her eyes widened in shock seeing this, how couldn't she when she saw someone control energy on a scale so small, that I could bring out 100% of their energy capability... well, in this case, I could boost my energy to the Saint King realm, allowing me to dodge every attack she threw.

'This is perfection. He has reached a level where he fully mastered his energy.' She thought in shock, as with my current level of energy control, I was infinitely better than anyone else. I pretty much had an infinite amount of energy. It was beyond perfection, all the energy I used was not wasted as that energy would just return to me. I wasted 0 energy, I lost 0 energy,

This was the result of my rebirth. I didn't just reach infinity, I managed to reach 0 and 100%... and I also managed to reach a new level in my martial arts.

She knew my eyes didn't boost my energy control to this level, my eyes were playing catch up. She looked deeply at me for some time, before pinching her fingers.

"You're a genius." She said in shock. She was calculating the past, this was far easier than trying to calculate the future. This is something immortals can do, some are even able to hide their karma, preventing others from calculating their past, future, or even their current actions.

"Interesting..." I said while rubbing my chin, She was about to speak but froze as my karma suddenly became extremely hard to read. She looked at me, only to see me looking at her with a faint smile.

"You learned to hide your karma by simply watching me reading it? Creating a way to reach not only level 11 but also level 12 for Houtian, Xiantian, Qi Condensation, Core Formation, nascent Soul and Soul Transformation. You even created your own cultivation which uses your spirit to cultivate body and Qi..." She said while looking deep at me. Thats right, I improved my cultivation art so that my Spirit, Qi, and Body all empower each other. 

There was a flaw in having my spirit cultivate both body and Qi. If my spirit grew weak, then my Body and Qi would grow weak. but if they all worked together, holding each other up, then one would never grow weak, as at least 1 would be there to hold up the sky.

"Join my Divine Phoenix Sect. You might have trash talent, but I can find a way to improve your talent." She said while looking deeply at me.

"I don't care for improving my talent. I think it's only fair if I have black-grade talent. Let's face it, if I had something better, wouldn't it be cheating?" I said with a shrug, leaving her speechless at my words... as she agreed.

"But I don't have a connection within the immortal realm. So, sure I will join if I ever see it worth it to go to the immortal realm." I said making her lips twitch. Was it not worth it to go to the immortal realm?

She wanted to say something, but seeing my combat capability, what could she say? Even in the immortal realm, I would stand out amongst the many talents... but many mortals had gained enlightenment, allowing them to fight immortals while having no cultivation. 

She sighed while throwing me a storage ring. I caught it and checked the ring and found that this ring held all types of cultivation resources, with even a formation within.

"That formation within once set up would create a time room. within, your cultivation speed can be increased by many times over. it can even be a billion years to one second so long as you have the resources. it would've zero effect on your age, it would just speed up your speed of cultivation." She said making me look at her with a weird look.

"Thats my thanks for saving me." She said to which I just looked at her for some time. 1 billion seconds was equal to 31 years. That was a long time that I could use to do all types of research into my cultivation and also speed things up.

"Sure, I will join your sect," I said with a shake of my head, this formation truly interested me. To speed up one thing and have nothing else affected... well, I was sure I could benefit from studying it. and at my words, her eyes brightened while throwing a token towards me.

"With that, you're now a disciple of my DIvide Phoenix Sect, when will you ascend?" She asked with a bright smile,

"When I feel like it. there are an infinite number of galaxies out there. I'm sure something out there might interest me." I said calmly, to which she nodded in understanding before looking towards Fen Juechen and also giving him a token along with another storage ring which got me wondering why she was going around carrying this stuff. Unless she came down here to bless people

Fen Juechen thanked her deeply, She nodded at him with a gentle smile. She was about to leave but I stopped her.

"How did you come here?" I asked lazily, to which she took out a stone. I looked at the stone for a moment, before removing my blindfold and closely looking at it.

"A stone that gives the power to open rifts in space?" I asked calmly, to which she nodded lightly while being stunned at how beautiful my eyes were. She was sure she had seen those eyes before, she just couldn't put her finger on it.

I looked deeply at the stone for some time before holding my palm out and going on to open a rift in front of me. although not as good as what the rift could do, it shocked her.

'He created a technique on the spot... Why is the technique so weak? It's like he is born with some physique which limits his capability towards techniques.' She thought in interest, and she was somewhat right.

My wish was to only use the Limitless, but as you have noticed I could use other techniques. How was this possible? simple, my affinity for other techniques was pure trash. So, I could comprehend the technique, but I needed so much mastery and training of the technique, that it was nearly impossible to use. That means, most of the techniques I created or used were far stronger in the hands of others. Of course, this didn't affect cultivation arts,

The technique I just used right now would be infinitely stronger in the hands of someone like Fen Juechen. it would just take a long time for him to comprehend this technique, and use it. Think of it like how the Limitless full power can only be shown with the 6 eyes. In this case, all powers needed a said key to fully use their full power. Sadly, everyone else has the key and I didn't.

'He is a monster.' She thought realizing just how profound the technique I just created on the spot was. And she was right. I was a monster. my mind was the biggest tool, be it in this life or the last, my mind stood out. it was just that in this life, my mind stood out even more.

She watched as the technique began to improve until I was able to open a rift that could send me to the immortal realm and back if I fed it a good amount of my energy. Although I could have improved it more, I didn't need to as I added the core of the rift into my teleportation, allowing me to teleport to the immortal realm.

"... You do understand after showing me that, Even if you don't want to, you have to join my sect." She said seriously, to which I smiled lightly

"You want me that badly? Shouldn't you buy me dinner first?" I asked but she was in no mood for laughs.

"I will buy you all of the dinners you want, I'm Mu Bingyun. It was a pleasure to meet you Wu Xian." She said while looking deeply at me, to which I shrugged. She looked towards Fen Juechen and said her goodbye before using the stone in her hands, a rift appeared, connecting to her sect. She was sucked within, protected by a barrier...

"What an innocent brat," I said while sitting back and closing my eyes, Mu Bingyun, a girl who never killed anyone in her life. A pure and innocent girl, her show of rage from before was all just to test me. The last thing on her mind was to harm me, she was not one to so easily lash out. Her level of self-control was impressive... I expected nothing less from an immortal.

"I will be heading off." Fen Juechen said to which I just waved him off as I didn't care what my disciples did. So long as they didn't disgrace me, I couldn't care less...

Elsewhere, within the sea, on the sea dragon emperor's throne, Helian Xun sat on a throne covered in bandages to help her heal. She along with high-ranking members of the sea race were looking at the images in the sky which showed my meeting with the immortal. Me and Mu Bingyun sensed this, but we didn't care.

"Cough, I believe it's not wise to make an enemy out of someone so freakish." An old man said his face twisting lightly in pain from the fake cough. Everyone nodded at those words, although the actions of nodding caused them to twist in pain.

"You're saying he can just kill the emperor and step on our sea race name and get away with it?" Helian Xun said angrily, ignoring the pain. After the death of her father, she had become the new emperor.

"Empress, it was clear we were set up to fight him. We walked into a trap that was used to kill him... making enemies out of someone like him isn't a good idea. Instead, I believe we should form connections with him. I believe a marriage would do?" He said to which everyone's eyes brightened while looking at Helian Xun who frowned at their gazes.

"Yes, empress. You have been the most talented member of our sea race for the past thousands of years. Wu Xian is the most talented human ever to exist, talent capable of having an immortal want to take him in. You two were made for each other." Helian Xun's face turned ugly at their words, she wasn't even given a chance to speak as everyone joined in, supporting the idea.

"Indeed... I don't want to be rude Empress, but you might not be worthy of marrying him. Just look at his 3 disciples, that immortal said it so herself. He created a way to reach levels 11 and 12 for so many cultivation realms. He might have black-grade talent, but with that, he became the strongest in a matter of 20 years." An elder said making Helian Xun grit her teeth as this was a fact she didn't want to accept.

"You are light years above him in talent, Empress, even if you don't love him, getting near him and taking everything he has... would it not only benefit you?" Another elder sighed seeing as the gloves were off. Helian Xun gritted her teeth as she thought about this. Should she put aside her pride for power?
