Synopsis

Since ancient times, humans have witnessed various strange phenomena in the world around them. Lightning, thunder, raging storms, as well as other natural disasters and human calamities. Misery and devastation spread far and wide, well beyond human control and intervention. Therefore, they believed that above the Nine Heavens, there existed numerous gods and spirits, while beneath the Nine Abysses, there were realms for lingering souls and the halls of Yama, the ruler of the underworld. Thus, the belief in immortals and gods spread throughout the world. However, even the immortal practitioners, who were considered immortal beings in the eyes of the rest of the world, could not completely shed their human desires. Thus, a poignant and enchanting tale emerged from the depths of their secluded lives. Zhang Xiao Fan, a frail and weak young man, unintentionally became embroiled in a hidden conflict between the Buddist Sanctuary and Taoist Gateway. He experienced the dangers of the martial world, wandered through magnificent realms and determinately paved his own path in the chaotic mortal realm. The boundless heavens and the vast realms of immortals and mortals set the stage for an epic journey of a hero who defies fate and struggles against it.

Chapter 1Prologue: Heaven’s Fall (诛仙)

Translated by: Amberleey

Author: 萧鼎 Xiao Ding

***

Location: Ariolona

Time: Long forgotten.

The World Favours No One.

In the past, there were no concrete explanations of why earth shattering calamities like thunderstorms and draught happens. These seemingly insuppressible and unpredictable disasters had caused numerous suffering and deaths for centuries and mankind have come to realise how powerless they were against these ferocious natural afflictions. This have greatly troubled them, and they fell into despair.

Feeling helpless, mankind comforted themselves by believing that there was a greater, higher force that lives among the unreachable clouds above them. At the same time, they believed that the dead goes deep underground as their final place to rest. This place underground came to be known as Hades.

Overtime, folklore about Heaven and Hades spread throughout the continent. Several have come to worship the Gods invented by them. From the beginning of time, no living creature was able to triumph death. For a long time, man embrace life and the idea of death terrified them. This fear, amplified by an abundance of horrifying stories of Hades, prompted man to seek the possibility of immortality, a state where one could live forever, conquering death.

Mankind were physically weak compared to other living creatures. However, every living creature have the potential to nurture one's spiritual strength to exponential heights. Captivated by the allure of everlasting life, many scholars and scribes dedicated their whole lives in search of a way to achieve immortality.

In the present day, though the key to immortality had yet to be discovered, a handful of people were able to unearth the mystery of the universe. With the aid of enchanted artifacts, man were able to use their bodies as a vessel to unleash waves of powerful energy, enabling them to fight back with dexterity against the harsh world. Legends said that the strongest practitioners could live up to a thousand years! Fueled by the immense hunger to attain immortality and avoid death, several joined these teachers to train.

Ariolona was an extremely vast and spacious region. The Central, blessed with the most resources, was the most populated area with 80% of Ariolona's population residing in it. Around the borders of the Ariolona (Namely the Northern, Eastern, Southern and Western Zones), there were many dangerous beasts that dwells in the mountains and in lakes. In addition to a myriad of plants there that administer deadly poisons and tribes of barbarians that slaughter men to drink their blood, a very small percentage chose to live in these areas.

Legend has it that there were primal creatures that lived for over ten thousand years and were still alive today dwelling in the deepest part of the mountains. No one has yet to catch a glimpse of these majestic creatures.

In the present day, there were countless men and women pursuing the arts of immortality. The numbers have grown so large that people with different approaches and beliefs to the practice started to branch out and form their own clans. These clans started to build their own unique philosophies and training methods, eventually creating their own powerful trade secrets and techniques.

Although the answer to true eternal life have yet to be discovered, the growing conflicts between these clans separated them into Good and Evil. The bitter strife between the two bodies were the cause of numerous fighting and bloodbaths among themselves.

With the prospect of eternal life so elusive that it was questionable, people started to train for the next best thing: the immense power they could receive from Immortalism.

In recent times, the Good emerged strong and dominant while the Evil retreats back into the shadows. The majority of Ariolona's land resources were owned by several clans from the Good side, which were lead by the three major clans that were recognised as the backbone of Immortalism. They were 'Qing Yun Men' (Taoist Gateway), 'Tian Ying Si' (Buddhist Sanctuary) and 'Feng Xiang Gu' (Fiery Incense Valley).

The story unfolds at Taoist Gateway.

I Can Copy And Evolve Talents

The convolution of worlds are govern by a set of gods, each god is given a world to rule and there can be skirmishes between them – as a result of one between Nexus, the god of trickery and a senile old hag Elliot reincarnated into Ul’Tra-el by mistake. Ul’Tra-el is a world that grew a voice, because of this voice, it began to take a different path from other worlds -- it was filled with a core anomaly – rifts. Dimensions began to leak into each other, vomiting outrageous monsters. In response or as an auto-correction to such anomaly, talents were awakened in the inhabitants of Ul’Tra-el and they gained tremendous power, for every rift they close down, they were rewarded massively by the voice of the world called Ul. In a hardcore world like this one, our MC (Northern) reincarnated as a talentless individual but in the face of a death and a head splitting revelation... ...when all hopes seemed lost. {System Notice} Your Soul cannot take a form Searching for Unique pattern ability for your soul searching... search found. Unique System ability has been found... Unique System Ability [CopyCat] has been gained. Awakening Unique ability... Northern gained a talent copying system! ... Follow Northern through his journey as he becomes the pinnacle of this world. This a story about a white-haired boy’s rise from rubbles!! Note: This is an overpower genre but MC does not just start off like that. Even though MC can copy talents he doesn't just jump around copying talents because there's a limitation. However, his rise to strength is depicted and is an experience to enjoy. The first few hundreds would be frustrating to follow because MC is weak but that makes the experience all the more interesting when MC finally gets freaking strong and starts wiping the floor with everyones asses.

Celestial Bloodline

On a peaceful planet filled with magic and power, Kyle's life was lazy and ordinary, but little did he know, he possessed something extraordinary. He lived his life with his family like any other lazy human, or so he thought, unaware that everything happens for a reason. However, everything changed when he turned sixteen. His older brothers, who were fed up with his laziness, came up with a ridiculous plan to teach him a lesson. They asked him to take the entrance test for one of the biggest academies. They thought this would knock some sense into their lazy brother. Kyle was stunned, but because of their coordinated planning, he reluctantly agreed with a hint of resignation. "I don't think I'll pass the test anyway. So, trying it for the experience isn't a big deal." "The only problem is, I can't guarantee that all my body parts will stay intact until the end of the entrance test." But to Kyle's shock, he passed the test without even lifting a finger! Still, he was convinced that he would eventually be kicked out of the Academy due to his lack of strength. But the moment he set foot in the Academy, he discovered something incredible about himself. He was special and nature's favorite. . . . ______ (#It's my first time writing. So, support me with ps, gt and gifts. Hehe, THANK YOU) (Note: The cover is not mine, found it from pinterest.
