self movement

After talking with the old man, Sora gave up his chance to enter the holy ground. he wanted to spend his time cultivating a new cultivation art he just got. he also wanted to spend his time comprehending all the Dao he had currently to at least level one.

Ling Yu also didn't want to go into the holy ground, there was nothing if Sora wasn't coming. trouble followed Sora, so of course, being next to him improved his cultivation greatly. absorbing Qi will instant harm her,

Sora and Ling Yu returned to the sect where they went to the Ling Han. Sora got to know about the Ling Han on the way back, for one Ling Han was a part of the Ling Clan. Ling Yu's mother had lost her memories and her father had taken her in. they fell in love and had children

Ling Yu was the youngest, and she had 2 elder brothers. Ling Han and the current clan leader Ling Hao. Ling Han was the most talented to ever appear in history, but Ling Hao was born without much talent, but he had the wish to strengthen the clan to new heights.

Ling Han and her parents were happy with how the clan was and didn't try to strengthen it. but Ling Hao believed that the clan shouldn't rely on others, Ling Han will not always be there. so, he wanted the clan to raise under Ling Yu, she was talented and was second to only Ling Han. so, they wanted to raise the clan and absorb all nearby clans and cities into the Ling clan

the Ling Clan had a gold rank demonic beast guarding it, a few gold rank expert Ling Han left behind. this was Ling Han clan, so he left making sure they were going to be safe.

since Sora declared Ling Yu as his wife, he had to go meet with her parents. upon their arrival, Ling Yu's father who was cultivating smiled seeing his daughter. but he frowned upon seeing Ling Han, what father will let any man approach their daughter.

Ling Yu's mother invented them both in to have a meal, Ling Yu's mother was a heavenly beauty, she had long white hair and gave of a gentle aura that made those around her calm down. Ling Yu's troublemaking self seemed to disappear being around her.

as they eat Sora intruded himself to them, Sora's backstory was short and could be easily found out. Ling Yu's father quickly got a liking to Sora, Sora remained him a lot of Ling Han. the only problem was that Ling Han eat too much.

Ling Yu's father knew his daughter well and trusted her. although she was troublesome at times, she knew when to retreat. she was a good judge of character. so, although he was on guard he didn't reject their relationship. her mother on the other hand took a quick liking to Sora, Sora was just too handsome. a wild charm, a heavenly charm, and even a sagely charm. people easily took alike to those who were handsome, handsome people lived a much easier life compared to those who were not

Sora went on to stay there for a day, he had to leave easily since Ling Yu's father wouldn't even let him touch Ling Yu. Ling Yu didn't come with Sora, as she had some stuff to do as the hope of the Ling clan.

Sora upon returning to the sect went on to try some stuff he had for peak grade spirit stones and went on to go home and cultivate. Sora made 5 thought projections, they were all weak and were not taxing on him.

they had to comprehend the Dao, feed the divine beast egg energy, and cultivate the sage of six paths cultivation art. he on the other hand had to cultivate the Divine Combat Angel cultivation art.

He had no techniques he needed to master, so he had to only force on these 4 things he had to do. as Sora cultivated, his mind and body slowly transformed, when he reached level 6 copper rank in this cultivation art, his body seemed to have become one with his mind, while at the time they were not. it was a weird state, but it improved Sora's senses and reaction speed to a shocking level

upon reaching level 1 iron rank, Sora gained an ability from his cultivation art. something called self-movement. it was a godly technique. It effectively allows for each and every part of the user's body to think and move independently of all the other parts, as opposed to how a person normally has to think about their movements beforehand and let the command travel from the brain and through the nervous system, a sequence which wastes precious fighting time, as command signals only travel through the nerves so fast.

With each part of the body able to think and act on its own, the user of this technique is able to automatically react to any situation or threat with the perfect move with perfect timing. They don't even need to acknowledge the threat; meaning the user can still fight effectively, even if they are focusing on something else.

such a technique went above logic, Sora quickly began to learn this technique. it took him a month to be able to use it. it wasn't because he was talented or anything, it was because he had been building the foundation for this technique for a long time. he could already enter a calm state of mind which is required to use this technique and cultivate the Divine Combat Angel cultivation art along improved upon this, allowing his body and mind to mind to enter this state much easier.

but entering this state used up a lot of energy, this technique made Sora have a whiteish aura around him. this state increased his strength to a shocking level of 1 country, which was much as even with the world lord fist times 20, Sora will not even have .4 strength,

this self-movement technique had many levels to it, currently, he was just at level 1. and it already boost his power by 50 times, this was a shocking boost in strength, but Sora could only remain in that state for less than 10 seconds. and since it was a technique, it could be used together with other techniques, such as the World Lord Fist and Wrathful form.

but he would have to master each to be able to be used together with each other. Sora continued to cultivate the Divine Combat Angel cultivation art. the higher he cultivated this cultivation art, the easier he will be able to cultivate the self-movement technique.

in a blink of an eye, it has been 3 months since the sect gathering had begun. Sora finally broke through to level 2 of the Divine Combat Angel cultivation art and gain the capability to remain in the self-movement form for 20 seconds. Sora only stopped cultivation when Ling Yu came to see him

"You want to go to the otherworldly battlefield?" Ling Han asked calmly as he looked at her. Ling Yu nodded slightly.

the otherworldly battlefield is a world that was formed when this lower realm and the demon realm got too close to each other. it connected the two worlds together. the demon race wanted to avoid and take over the lower realm, this war was not just a battle between the humans, but every race within the lower realm against every race within the demon realm

the otherworldly battlefield was not just a battlefield, but there were many treasures formed that in there that were useful for cultivation. there was even more so for Ling Yu as that place was filled with a thick killing aura that she could absorb.

Ling Yu just wanted to go to cultivate. the otherworldly battlefield was filled with a high amount of demonic qi, she could even absorb those of the demon race to improve her own cultivation. Sora also knew she was stronger than what she showed on the outside, she used Qi. yet that energy was harmful to her, so how strong will she be if she used her Yin energy

her Yin energy was an energy of pure Yin, there was no hint of Yang in it. that energy was the combined energy was demonic Qi, cold energy, darkness energy, dark Qi, and countless other strong and weak energy. her Yin energy could be considered the origin of all Yin type energy,

Sora didn't go with her as he knew she could handle herself, he of course knew of her energy. his eyes were sharp, yet even he couldn't see through her energy. He was sure she was no less weak than him, she might be stronger, but he also knew that she couldn't use that energy freely.

one it was too evil and will enrage the heavens, leading to her death. and two, her body was too weak to handle the rushing it. as for why she didn't just dual cultivate with Sora, she wanted to regain her virgin yin qi before anything. and that could take a few years, and they will be sped up by absorbing strong energy other than the hatred from weak nobodies.

Sora went on to send her off before he entered closed-door cultivation art, 4 months later the pure water sect and their sect disciples returned to the sect. they had been within the holy ground for 6 months, and have now just returned.

the sect leader wanted to meet Sora, so Sora just sent a thought projection to meet him. Sora had reached the 9th level and could create a thought projection that had 90% of his power. this meant this thought projection had all his ability, it was taxing, but it only left him 10% weaker

Of course, Sora could make more thought projections, but making 2 thought projections with just 90% of his power will leave him 20% weaker, it will double with every thought projection, so Sora could at most make 4 thought projections with this level of power.

3 months later quickly passed, and by this time Ling Yu had returned. her cultivation shockingly had improved to the 5th level of the iron rank. she went from mid-level 4 iron rank to early level 5 iron rank. this huge improvement in cultivation in just 7 months shocked Sora,

But Ling Yu could be considered to be demonic cultivation, in these 7 months, who knew how many she killed and absorbed all their energy. the killing aura she gave off stunned even Sora

"It seems like I should head to the upper region," Sora said helplessly as he looked at her, Ling Yu pridefully looked at Sora.

"Then I will come with you... give me 3 more months." Ling Yu said after some thought, Sora nodded slightly as this will be enough time for him to break through too late level 2 iron rank. Sora's power has grown greatly within the last 10 months, this was his current stats.

Sora's strength has reached a shocking level within these months, the fact he could even compare the Dao of space and time was all thanks to Divine Combat Angel cultivation art. his talent within every Dao reached a shocking level,

After Ling Yu left and Ling Han returned to cultivate, time quickly passed and he reached late level 2 iron rank, allowing his combat strength to level 1.2 counties. it would have been 1.3 counties, but Sora was just a step away from gaining that. if one had to pinpoint his strength, it will be something level 1.38 counties.

Ling Yu on the other hand has used her power to absorb many forces into her Ling Clan, although she only had around level 4 silver rank strength, that gold rank sword she used gave her a huge boost in power allowing her to even match a level 5 silver rank expert and above. a whole rank, and with the demonic beast guarding the sect she was able to attack and retreat without worry. the pure water sect leader also supported them,

in 3 months, she had risen the Ling Caln power to a level where they can stand against even those large clans. Ling Yu didn't have to do much, she just had to be her brother's sword. while her brother was the brains.

when everything was done, she left the clan to her brother and said her goodbye to her parents before heading off with Ling Han to the upper region of this world. Sora of course said his goodbye to the old alchemist, before leaving. they were currently on a continent in the middle of nowhere

they will have to fly over the endless sea which is filled with powerful and dangerous demonic beasts before arriving within the upper region. many cultivators have gone there, although some rarely returned those who did have passed down their experiences from within the upper region and stored them quickly became famous.

"I bought this high-grade boat, we will be able to fly above that sea with speed matching a level 8 silver rank expert." Ling Yu said with a smile, as a huge flying ship floated behind her

"I will just fly use there," Sora said with a smile as he picked her up, stunning Ling Yu as Sora put the ship away and suddenly shot into the sky at shocking speed. Sora went all out as he knew Ling Yu was not weak, and he was not disappointed as she could react even when his speed reached the gold rank level of speed.

"... this is a bit too fast." Ling Yu said in shock seeing how fast Sora was moving, and the scary part was that his speed was getting faster and faster. they had left the continent behind long ago and were in the middle of nowhere, the fact Sora could fly before reaching the silver rank was already shocking, but he could reach such speed was too much

although Sora had reached a speed which he could move faster than sound, the cultivator could use Qi to strengthen their voice to allow it to move faster. so, Sora heard her clearly.

"yet you can react to this speed perfectly. how about you show me your full capability." Sora said with a smile, Ling Yu rolled her eyes, if she did then wouldn't this lower realm most likely be destroyed the sect she shows her extremely pure YIn energy. energy of pure evil. something which even the heavens fear

a few minutes later, Sora almost fell out of the sky as the gravity suddenly increased to a shocking level. a normal human would turn into a pancake, this gravity was that power, but it was not gravity but in truth Qi. Qi was so dense that it increased the gravity within the upper region,

Sora looked at Ling Yu who was frowning because of the Qi, it was like she was being attacked. every breath took in a lot of Qi, which was similar to taking in poison. But Ling Yu had a type of curse that made it so a person can't absorb Qi, Ling Yu quickly used this on herself, allowing her to breathe in peace

"can't you just convert Qi to your energy?" Sora asked calmly, all energy can be transformed into another form of energy but doing this wastes a lot of energy and one would need to have fully mastered that energy. there was also the fact that you need to know the energy you want to transform said energy into. you have to know both energies inside and out,

"How would I when I don't even understand the two energies? I only use Qi, and even then, it's impure." She said helplessly

"I thought you could corrupt the energy, if it's all evil, then should that energy be able to turn the good energy into the darkness? If the energy is truly evil, and if it cannot do something like this. What's darker than pulling someone corrupting some?" Sora sneered in slightly disdain, but this made Ling Yu's eyes brighten slightly,

the curse which kept Qi away from her suddenly disappeared as Qi began rushing toward her. Sora's eyes turned sharp as he looked at the Qi gathering within her being corrupted by a powerful energy, which she then began to refine.

'Interesting.' Sora thought as calmly, it was like she couldn't fully use this energy without comprehending its full capabilities. Sora continued to fly forward and after a few minutes, they saw an island.

they flew down and landed on the mountain where they went to walk around, this was a small island that Sora felt like he could destroy with a punch, but on the second look, he found that this island is too dense. those who lived on this island were normal humans, but they had powerful bodies, and those few cultivators could skip up to 2 levels

Sora spent a few hours on the island before they set off, he, of course, spent that time getting information about the powers around here. from what they told, there was a sect located far away that was considered the overlord of this region near the sea. it was called World Shattering Sky

they had a peak gold rank expert acting as sect leader and many powerful ancestors, Sora and Ling Yu went to join this sect. they flew for a few more minutes before they saw a huge floating castle in the sky.

Ling Yu and Sora were shocked at this, a flying castle was in front of him. and it was not small. it was larger than a county, he couldn't help but under just how much energy is used to keep this thing floating.

Sora took out a flying sword, and Ling Yu took one for herself. although Ling Han didn't mind danger, there was something some people couldn't show. him flying will lead to people thinking he had a special technique, which will lead to too many problems popping up

"Who goes there?" a disciple of the floating sect in front of him flew out as he floated in front of them. the disciple was an early silver rank expert,

"We just came from the lower region and wish to join the sect," Sora said with a smile, the young man frowned as he looked at Sora, a handsome man like Sora made her displeased slightly. Ling Yu beauty... he couldn't help but grow jealous

"She can join, you can leave." He said with a snort, Sora sighed as he shook his head.

"We flew all the way here, think about that. the distance the danger, and the time. before you act, think." Sora said with crossed arms, the young man froze at Sora's words before he exploded in rage. this brat there scored him? he flashed as he shot to attack Sora, his fist shot forward as he shot towards Sora's stomach, aiming to cripple Sora.

gently, Sora blocked the fist with a pinky. the young man's eyes almost popped out seeing this, just a pinky caught his attack.

"Since your sect doesn't want us, then we will go somewhere used," Sora said while looking at the floating castle, suddenly out of nowhere a middle-aged man appeared as he looked at Sora with a smile.

"... master. I believe these two are..." the young man wants to say more but upon seeing the old man's cold eyes he shut his mouth.

"You may join the sect if you pass the test requirement. since this is not the 100 years for requirements sect disciples, the requirements will be much harder." the old man said calmly, disciple who left was just a guard, he sensed Ling Yu and Sora long ago and sent the young man to see what was happening.

But the fact Sora a level 2 iron rank expert could catch the young man's fist, and even sense his shock shocked him. Sora was a talent and this young man dared to try to defame him before his eyes, the old man was of course upset. he will get a lot of sect credits from just bringing these two into the sect, and he could even build a good relationship with them. all the old man saw were benefits left and right.

Sora nodded at the old man's words as he and Sora entered to go and take the small simple test to see if they met the requirement to join the sect. Sora shockingly found out that Ling Yu was in her 40s, she was really young. Sora noticed that Ling Yu gritted her teeth slightly when she saw he was only 23, she was almost twice as old as he was which left a bad taste in her mouth

the old man was of course shocked, Sora and Ling Yu were from the lower region. they had checked karma to see if they were telling the truth. they already knew Sora had only been cultivating for 8 years, this was shocking.

the next test was comprehension capabilities, they had to comprehend a set of fist techniques within an hour. this fist was just the first part of the core technique of the sect, the world-shattering fist, Sora comprehended it in record time, in just 24 seconds to master the first part of this technique. Ling Yu took a few hours, but even that was shocking.

the next step on the trail was combat strength. everyone within the sect should be capable of skipping levels. this was not the lower region, of course, this requirement disappeared in the silver rank as it was hard to skip levels the higher one cultivation was.

"Just punch that." the old man said calmly as Sora walked up to a wooden dummy, Sora flicked it weakly and sent it shooting it backward at a shocking speed. everyone including Sora was shocked, that dummy was so heavy yet with a simple weak flick, it was sent flying just like that.

a number appeared on the chest of the dummy, showing the number 7. this meant that flick was 7 levels above Sora's cultivation, Sora at level 2 iron rank showed combat strength at level 9 and he was holding, truly shocking

the old man was in shock as he knew Sora could handle himself against a silver rank expert, Ling Yu went up next and she showed strength at level 2 silver rank, shocking everyone once more.

with their talent being so high up, they were quickly allowed to join the sect, and thanks to their sect and talent, the grand elders will be let told of this, and if they were lucky, they would be able to become inner sect disciples. but for now, they will be outer sect disciples

the world-shattering sect outer sect disciples had to complete a mission every 10 years. Sora and Ling Yu first got a place to stay and rested for some time, the upper region had pure sunlight so his cultivation would improve much faster here.

a few days went by, and it didn't take long for trouble to come knocking at their doors. the young guard who tried to attack Sora arrived with an inner sect disciple at their doors, a young man well known for his lust. Yao Fei.

"She really is beautiful." Yao Fei said in shock upon seeing Ling Yu opening the door, Sora sighed as he walked up to the door hearing this. Yao Fei instantly frowned upon seeing another man next to his woman, his eyes turned cold as he looked at Ling Han.

Yao Fei didn't even care to talk to such a weakling as he attacked Sora. he was a level 6 silver rank expert. an inner sect disciple, his power was something a small iron rank expert like Sora couldn't compare to.

Sora calmly caught the fist and twisted it, Ling Yu cried in pain as his arm was being twisted, just a bit more and it will be broken. Sora calmly looked at the guard who was too shocked to move, before slapping him so hard across the face that his teeth came flying out.

The young man fell to the ground with tears running down his face, he held his check-in pain as he looked at Sora in horror. Sora ignored him as he looked at Yao Fei who was looking at him with a burning hatred.

"I will let you go because I know you will bring someone stronger. make sure who you bring is at least at level 10 silver rank alright, or else I will cripple you." Sora said as he patted his checks slightly before kicking him flying like he was trash.

Yao Fei coughed as he rolled around in pain while holding his stomach which had just taken a huge blow. he struggled to his feet as he looked at Sora's house with a hatred that had reached a new height, before walking away. ignoring the young guard who was laying on the ground with tears all over his face.

"Sigh, you need to be low-key." Ling Yu said helplessly, Sora rolled his eyes at her words. wasn't it her beauty that started this mess, it's not like he cared. he looked forward to seeing the power of those truly talented sect disciples

"let's go dual cultivate so you can be stronger for tomorrow." Ling Yu said helplessly. it's not like she could control her beauty, but she can make sure that Sora was a bit stronger for whatever was coming.

but while dual cultivating, Ling Yu was shocked to find that Sora yang Qi was of a higher quality than before. that bit of yin Qi which was from the monkey king although considered a yang art had a wild effect on a person which could also be considered yin, thanks to the divine combat angel cultivation art, Sora suppressed that and was full of the yang type.

it had been years since they last did it, and this time they were at it for a few days until they had their fill of it. Sora cultivation stepped into level 3 iron rank thanks to these few days, and Ling Yu stepped into late-level 5 iron rank.

she went from early to late thanks to the fact Sora's power had gone through huge changes cultivating the divine combat angel cultivation art. and with her gaining better control of her yin energy, she wasted none of Sora's yang energy as they were all refined.

"... I'm in the mood for some fried rice." Ling Yu said as she lay on top of Sora, her chest pressed against her as they lay there naked.

"This sect is pretty much a county. we should go map out the restaurants around here." Sora said with a smile, what would the food in the upper region be like. he couldn't wait to try it, but before that, they needed a bath. to save time, they had one together. hours later, they were out of the bath and went on to go out to go look around the city

But they were soon disappointed when they found that immortals of the upper region didn't care about food. they eat pills that will allow them to go years without the need for food, sure they were flavor pills, but Sora almost awakened a new power from the rage he felt when someone offered that shit to him as food.

Sora was depressed but Ling Yu offered to cook to cheer him up. so, they returned home and she went on to cook, Sora's cheerful mood disappeared as he looked at the dark food, it was a dark evil looking food. some bubbles would raise from time to time like it was a heartbeat

"Go on. I put the heart into it." She said with a smile as she waited for Sora to try the food. Sora took a deep breath, maybe it tastes better than it looks... or better than it smelled. Sora tried it, but when he tried to swallow it. his body automatically moved to spit it out.

sweat covered Sora's forehead, he was not in a calm state of mind. so how did he automatically push this food out of his mouth? this food was so bad that his taste buds didn't dare to even taste it, there was even Ki that formed around his tongue to block it.

"..." Ling Yu looked at Sora with tears forming in her eyes, if Sora didn't like it, he could have said it. why spit it out? What's with that horrified look? she turned around and went away, but Sora quickly appeared in front of her as he quickly tried to explain.

"Automatically movement? so, you saying my good is so bad that this ability awakened on its own?" Ling Yu said as a vein grew on her forehead

"I don't know, I couldn't taste it. but I sure..." Sora suddenly froze as from the corner of his eyes he saw Ling Yu's food he had spit out was melting through the ground. Ling Yu turned to look at this and froze for a second.

"Maybe since your yin energy is so pure, when you put your heart into it, it had this effect," Sora said as Ling Yu walked over to try her food. but she thought it wasted good, she tried it of course before she gave it to Sora, sure it looked slightly dark. but that added to the beauty

"... let me see your self-movement thing then." She said as she changed the subject, Sora rolled her eyes slightly before he entered a calm state of mind, before having Ling Yu attack. Ling Yu shot forward as she attacked Sora who was not paying attention, Ling Yu was shocked when he noticed that Sora's movements were perfect.

there was no wasted moment, every action was made at the best timing, and each movement was perfect.

even the demonic being within her was shocked at this, this technique. it was something that transcendent anything under the Dao. If Sora could master this technique, he will stand above the Dao.

'I knew those two brats could reach it... but this technique is the absolute pinnacle of combat, even something they don't acknowledge they will move to defend or block.' the demonic being said to Ling Yu

'Big brother and Sora have the capability to transcend the Dao?' Ling Yu asked in shock as she stopped attacking Sora.

'Yes, if he could master this combat technique. this technique is something above a godly technique, it's a transcendent technique. so, it stands above the Dao. a transcendent of this level is not affected by the Dao. similar to me in at my peak..." the demonic being went on and began speaking of its good days, how it was so close to destroying the Dao along with the whole world until the god of creation came out of nowhere.

they had a battle that almost destroyed the world, but in the end, it lost and had to flee into the world the god of creation had created and reincarnated into the state it was now to hide from him. it suffered too many injuries to reincarnate fully, so there were two souls. but one day, it and Ling Yu will become one and destroy that God of creation

'Why do I have to want to destroy the world?' Ling Yu said annoyed, she had to hear this story so many times she got annoyed.

'Snort. what do you know? I'm a beast of chaos, we grow stronger by eating worlds. I only lost because I was young, but we can now grow and even understand the Dao of creation through his creation of this world. at which point we will have a higher chance to kill him, he is also injured, he will need trillions or even more to recover. there might even be some people that will attack him," the demonic being laughed evilly. it left out the part about how it wanted to have Sora and Ling Han at its side just in case things went wrong.

Ling Yu also didn't say anything as she was thinking of how to suppress this thing, like hell it wanted to destroy this world. her family and husband were here.
