With nothing more gained for tonight, Qing Tian decided to spend the rest of his free time in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal training.

He grabbed the wooden sword and began practicing his Basic Sword Technique until he had to leave the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal.

Once kicked out, Qing Tian joined Lin Xue in the bed and fell asleep, excited for the next day.

The day he finally enters the Sanctuaries and the number of women in his life increases.

…

Morning came around and the sun shone brightly through the windows, hitting Qing Tian's face and assaulting him awake.

'Stupid sun,' thought Qing Tian as he opened his eyes in an annoyed manner.

He looked around, looking for his mother before getting up from bed and wearing his new black combat gear and his white leather gloves. His Black Z-Steel Long Sword was strapped to his back and the dagger to his left thigh.

Qing Tian finally wore the Gold Red Earrings his mother had given to him when he was young. He was also still wearing Han Yan's gift, not really wishing to take it off.

Grabbing the super string and packing it in his combat gear, Qing Tian was ready to go into God's First Sanctuary.

Walking out of his own room, Qing Tian found his mother looking at him with a wide smile on her beautiful face. In her hands was an ID Card with Qing Tian's information on it.

"It's finally time," said Lin Xue, looking at Qing Tian with some sadness in her eyes.

Qing Tian smiled gently and nodded before walking over to his mother and holding out his hands.

Understanding what he wished to do, Lin Xue placed her hands on Qing Tian's hands.

"I will always be here for you. I won't leave my beautiful mother behind," said Qing Tian as he pulled his mother into a warm embrace before planting his lips on her's.

"Mm…"

Lin Xue enjoyed the kiss, eventually feeling limp in Qing Tian's arms.

"I need to head out now," said Qing Tian as he took the card from Lin Xue and waved goodbye to her.

Lin Xue waved as well, seeing her son off.

…

Qing Tian walked over to the nearest usable and available portal pad, the one at Ares Martial Hall.

Ignoring everyone yelling Emperor and those trying to curry favor, Qing Tian made a straight beeline to the teleport pad before being stopped by Queen.

"I'll look for you," said Queen as she stood in front of Qing Tian.

"There's no point in that, is there?" asked Qing Tian as he walked around Queen. "We'll always see each other no matter what. Whether you want to or not, we will always end up finding each other."

"…"

Remaining quiet, Queen looked at Qing Tian with a small smile.

"Bye! I'll see you soon," said Qing Tian before disappearing through the teleport pad.

…

Instantaneously, Qing Tian appeared at a completely different place. He was inside a stone room with a teleport pad in the corner, a campfire area on the other corner, and a stone table with a wooden chair near it.

"This is my room in the time I will be here at this shelter," said Qing Tian as he studied what little there was to see.

'I should quickly begin hunting and eating to increase my Geno points and go to where Han Sen is. If we manage to find the Black Crystal together, he will be trusting me a lot,' thought Qing Tian as he quickly dashed out the door and viewed the entire shelter.

The ground was sandy with a little mix of dirt and the temperature was a bit cold. A fishy scent in the air and a salty taste in the mouth.

'I'm at a shelter located near a beach…'

Qing Tian walked around for a while before finding the center of the shelter. It was a large area filled with various stands filled with people seeking and buying various stuff.

Beast souls, weapons, and even gears.

Gears are weapons that were wielded by the creatures of the Sanctuary. Besides being a bit stronger than those of the same level, Beast gears can't be taken out of the sanctuaries.

Looking around for a bit longer, Qing Tian happened to find some informational pamphlets being handed out.

'I guess it makes sense,' thought Qing Tian as he took a pamphlet.

There are a large multitude of people in the sanctuaries, especially in the First Sanctuary. To prevent the deaths of many people, the Alliance had ordered for there to be an information pamphlet about the shelter they reside in to help out newcomers.

Qing Tian wasn't too sure if the Second God's Sanctuary also offered something like this since it is a lot more chaotic over there.

Especially the third God's Sanctuary and the fourth.

Quickly taking in the information, the pamphlet gave a small map of the shelter and nearby hunting grounds with the average strength of the creatures.

There was even a detailed strength ranking description for those who forgot the lessons at school.

The strengths of the creatures, recognized and made official by the Alliance.

From weakest to strongest, the creature's strength were in four categories.

Ordinary

Primitive

Mutant

Sacred-Blood

Qing Tian, however, knew of one more that the Alliance wasn't too sure if it was even known about. Some big families knew that these beasts existed however.

Super.

Super creatures are beasts with unimaginable strength. They can kill Sacred-Blood creatures as easily as pulling up grass from the ground.

Their skill and even their own hair are so strong and tough that a single hair is even stronger than a Sacred-Blood weapon.

Sacred-Blood weapons can't even damage the skin of the beasts, much less the weakest points of their bodies like the eyes.

"Truly terrifying and amazing creatures," muttered Qing Tian as he decided to hunt some creatures nearby.

Small Ordinary creatures that give a Weapon-type beast soul, a shuriken.

They were named Black-Tooth Beast, they are small sloth looking creatures that are faster than they seem.

Remembering the map, the Black-Tooth creatures were located near the sea since that was their favorite hunting spot and there were some trees nearby.

'Maybe this is a good time to practice the Universal Kun Peng Technique,' thought Qing Tian as he looked at the sea that he was approaching.

The Universal Kun Peng Technique was like its name suggested, it was modeled after the mythological creature, Kun Peng. The Kun Peng was a creature that could transform as a bird outside of water and a fish in water.

The Kun Peng is an immense creature in both versions of itself and has an extraordinary ability to both fly and swim.

With this in mind, Qing Tian was ready to practice this technique in the water. Especially because there's a small chance that a pathway through the water leads to Han Sen's shelter.

That and there's good fish in the water that he could kill as well that drop needle beast souls. Not many people found the needle beast soul helpful, but for Qing Tian it was different for two strong reasons.

First, Hidden weapons!

Second, acupuncture!

Both very strong Techniques he had already practiced and mastered.

"First the Black-Tooth beasts, they offer good beast souls and their small bodies can quickly fill up my Ordinary Geno points," mumbled Qing Tian as he finally made it to the beach.

Near the beach was a wide area filled with trees and some people walking through there, attacking and being attacked by Black-Tooth beasts.

There were some on the beach as well, but not as many as in the small forest. There were some people in the sea as well, hunting for fish.

In fact, Qing Tian was quite lucky to notice a poor man being assaulted by a fish the size of a fist. The poor man died after two tail slaps from the fish.

His body fell limp on the water before being dragged away by the small fish.

"Poor man, he challenged a Primitive creature and lost," thought Qing Tian as he watched the body slowly seep into the sea by the might of the small fish.

'Sizes and appearances are deceiving in the sanctuaries,' thought Qing Tian. 'Something every person should know.'

Actually, now that Qing Tian got to thinking, after his body recognized Eternal Firmament Art as a martial art, his body had also gone through a small, but extremely helpful change.

After training in the Martial Art the night before, Qing Tian measured that his strength increased by another 50%. Different from the 50% passive from strengthening his bones and flesh through his Myriad Bone Tempering Art.

This increase of 50% was more from training the body and improving the handling of the genes. Like the stretching technique he had given to his mother to make full use of the strength of her genes.

It was like the way Han Sen had increased his strength by almost 35-40% by training in the martial art Panorama. He trained so hard that he get rid of weaknesses of his body and increased the strength of his body allowing him to make full use and even more of the strength of the genes.

From the 15 fitness you can obtain from making out the ordinary to Sacred-Blood Geno points, Han Sen was able to reach a fitness of almost 20. Then with Overload, Heresy Mantra, and the Super Geno points he had received from the mother of Golden Growler, Han Sen almost achieved a fitness of 30.

Finally, he was able to defeat super Creatures, even with difficulty, and he managed to kill an Ebony wolf and began his path of being capable enough to kill Super Creatures with his own strength.

His base fitness increased by an entire 15 with maxed Super Geno points, making his total 30. Even then, with the power of everything else in his disposal, Han Sen had a power of 45 and nearing 50.

This was the exact same situation for Qing Tian.

His body received a passive increase of 100% of his base fitness, a very beneficial thing, from the combination of the Eternal Firmament Art and the Myriad Bone Tempering Art.

'Something which literally ruins the power balance of this world,' thought Qing Tian.

Not that he cared much for it, as long as he's still able to have entertaining fights, Qing Tian was fine with being abnormally strong.

It was a weird feeling, he already had a fitness of 4 and he still hasn't eaten a single flesh of the creatures from this Sanctuary.

'It's stuff like this that ended up destroying my other body,' thought Qing Tian with a chuckle. 'This is also the reason why I'm in this world. To make a powerful vessel to handle that power. Hence, GENES.'

With a fitness of 4, the Ordinary and Primitive Creatures weren't even a threat to him.

There's still Pills and Elixirs he can make to strengthen himself even further, but he doesn't have the means to make these pills and elixirs yet.

'For now, I have to rely on the Geno points, one strength enhancing Qigong, and the Divine Marionette Pellets. Breaking this world is only a side product,' thought Qing Tian as he pulled out his sword and walked over to the small forest.

The instant he entered the small forest, 3 Black-Tooth beasts attacked him at the same time.

As ordinary creatures, there were over hundreds of Black-Tooth beasts in the small forest. There were some primitive Black-Tooth beasts as well, but there were less of them and they were twice the size of the Ordinary Black-Tooth beasts. Primitive Black-Tooth beasts are also grey in color as opposed to the black color of the Black-Tooth beasts.

With a wave of his sword, Qing Tian instantly decapitated the three Black-Tooth beasts that attacked him.

[Ordinary creature Black-Tooth killed. Beast soul of Black-Tooth gained. Eat its meat to gain zero to ten Ordinary geno points randomly.]

[Ordinary creature Black-Tooth killed. Beast soul of Black-Tooth gained. Eat its meat to gain zero to ten Ordinary geno points randomly.]

[Ordinary creature Black-Tooth killed. Beast soul of Black-Tooth gained. Eat its meat to gain zero to ten Ordinary geno points randomly.]

'Three beast souls right away? Alright~,' thought Qing Tian as he picked up the corpses and put them away in a bag he had prepared already.

His luck was still as high as always, though Qing Tian thought, 'It does kind of ruin the fun of being able to grind and struggle a bit.'

Qing Tian continued on forward, cutting anything in his path. Whether it be a tree branch or a Black-Tooth beast, Qing Tian managed to make it to the other side of the small forest.

His killing spree ended with 23 Ordinary Black-Tooth beasts and 7 Primitive Black-Tooth beasts dead. Of the Black-Tooth beast souls, Qing Tian only managed to get 19 ordinary beast souls and 7 primitive.

'A very good haul, I should be able to eat 4-5 ordinary Black-Tooth meat before it stops giving me any effect at all. For primitive, it would be the same, the rest I can just sell and earn some money. The beast souls… I can seek 1 primitive and 4 of the ordinary…'

Qing Tian was planning on using the Nightmare Demon Pot already on the Beast souls he bagged today.

'I'll just earn some money whilst also growing stronger. I can't rely financially on my master and Ares Martial Hall,' thought Qing Tian as he walked back to the shelter he appeared in.
