Chapter 1: Sixteen Heaven

"Even if you wanted to use the word heaven in the name of your game, you could name it nine heavens or thirty three heavens, wouldn't those names be more suitable. But why did you name it sixteen heavens? I have never heard of such a term in this world."

Qin Tian wondered as he was waiting for the loading of the Sixteen Heavens Game website.

The large number of visitors to the website causes the process of opening the site to be very slow.

There are several reasons why this website are visited by so many people today.

First is because the game is made by the biggest gaming company.

Secondly, because the game was announced suddenly. It was announced just a moment ago.

But what made people even more curious was; because the game company said that the game will be released tonight.

"So slow." Qin Tian felt even more impatient.

His 17 years on earth made him want to forget his old world, but the name of the game makes him remember his past.

Recently, the novel about the world of games which turns out to be another world is very popular on the internet.

For others, such novels are nothing more than mere fiction. But for Qin Tian who came from another world, he always believed in mysterious things.

In sixteen heavens, people at the peak of cultivation could easily destroy mountains and tear through the sky. There are even heavenly emperors who are considered omnipotent.

"Nothing is impossible" is a proverb that is most popular in sixteen heavens.

Even though he was now in a mortal world, he had always believed in that proverb.

"Oh, it's finally open." Qin Tian immediately turned his gaze to the computer screen in front of him.

But when he saw the computer screen, his eyes immediately opened wide so that his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.

"Impossible..." He shouted.

Even though he was hopeful, he was still filled with disbelief when he saw the image that appeared on the computer screen.

It was a image of a very vast land filled with countless mountains.

What surprised him from the image was the existence of the five highest mountains on each side of the land.

Each of the five mountains spewed fire, water, wind, earth, and lightning from their peaks.

(Five Elements Sect, Sect with five Emperors, the greatest miracle in the sixteen heavens.)

The words beside the picture only made Qin Tian even more shocked.

There may not be a living being in the sixteen heavens who does not know about that sect.

Even though he was not from that sect, he had always admired them because they could produce five emperors.

His sect was also an imperial sect, but it had only produced one emperor in its history for hundreds of eras.

Qin Tian only grew more and more shocked as he swept the screen downwards.

Apart from images of various sect regions, he also found images of figures from the sixteen heavens.

Other people would think that those characters were just NPCs in the game, but he knew that they were real characters.

"There are only two possibilities, either this game is like what happened in those novels, or it was made by someone who came from that world, just like me." Qin Tian speculated.

"But no matter what, I have to play this game. Even if it's not like what happens in those novels, I might be able to find a way back through this game."

As the screen went further down, Qin Tian finally found the synopsis of the game.

(The sixteen heavens will be connected at the end of each era, and they then give birth to a Heaven's Will.

Every young Paragon who gets approval from heaven can compete for Heaven's Will to become a Heavenly Emperor, the emperor who rules the sixteen heavens.)

Although the synopsis was not very long, Qin Tian clearly understood what the synopsis meant. In the past, he himself was also one of the young Paragons who competed for the Heaven's Will.

Qin Tian's blood boiled as he read the synopsis. He couldn't help but remember his past which was filled with struggles.

"I have to calm down, I have to calm down." Qin Tian rubbed his chest which was starting to beat fast. He then continued scrolling down the screen.

Under the synopsis, the game's many features are explained.

One of the features that attracted Qin Tian the most attention was the time between the game world and the real world.

Actually, the time difference between the virtual world and the real world is not a new technology, it has been discovered since several years ago. But in this game they claim that one hour in the real world is equivalent to one day in the game world. In other words, 24 hours in the real world is equivalent to 24 days in the game world.

Qin Tian couldn't help but be shocked as he read the game's information. In other games, the time difference at most, only one hour is equivalent to two hours, but in this game it's actually the equivalent of one day.

At the very bottom of the website, there is a shop selling various items in the game.

Qin Tian was shocked as he read the rules over the shop.

According to these rules, there was only one chance players could use real money to strengthen themselves in the game. And that is now, before the game was released.

After the game is released, items in the game can no longer be purchased for real money.

"Interesting, I've never heard of a game that makes rules like that." Said Qin Tian.

He then opened the game shop.

Of course, he was taken aback once again after he saw what the game shop was selling.

The Southern Emperor's Cultivation Scripture.

The Flame Emperor's Cultivation Scripture.

Purple Moon Emperor's Cultivation Scripture.

Primordial Dragon Body.

Nine Heavenly Suns Body.

Charming Fairy Body.

And much more, of course.

If one of each of those items appeared in the sixteen heavens, it would be enough to put many imperial sects at war.

"Crazy, this is really crazy." Qin Tian almost screamed.

But he almost fainted when he saw the price stamped on each of the items.

Although those items were truly invaluable in sixteen heavens, this place was, after all, only a mortal world.

Games have become very popular since the virtual reality era, but they are still not at the core of human life on earth.

Things like in a novel where the game determines the strength of the great factions on earth is something that never happened in this world.

Of course, many rich people spent a lot of money strengthening their characters in the game world, but they still didn't overspend. Ten million dollars is probably the most money a rich gamer has ever spent on a game.

But the price of each item in the game was really too expensive. It starts at 30 million dollars, 40 million, 50 million, and some are even more expensive than that.

Qin Tian is one of the gamers who spends a lot of money because since his parents died, he has been raised by his wealthy aunt.

His aunt didn't mind giving him money to play games, but if he asked for 30 million or 40 million dollars for games, he might get kicked out of the house.

"Erm," he suddenly saw an item that made him direct his eyes closer to the computer screen.

Primordial God Body.

Qin Tian was silent for a while before he jumped off the chair.

"Oh my god, it really is the legendary Primordial God Body, rank three of the twelve legendary heavenly treasures. Twelve heavenly treasures only exist in legends even in sixteen heavens, how could a rank three heavenly treasure appear here."

The two most difficult things about cultivation are comprehending heavenly laws and gathering spiritual sources into the body. These two things can be said to be the main foundation in cultivation.

But the Primordial God Body was said to be able to extract every kind of energy and directly transform them into spiritual sources. There were even rumors that it could extract spiritual sources from a living cultivator.

Of course, the most important are; because that body is perfectly compatible with all kinds of elements and heavenly laws. Those who possess that body are said to be able to learn any cultivation technique.

There were 100 heavenly bodies in the cultivation world, but Primordial God Body was not a part of them because it already truly far surpassed them.

Legend has it that there is only one Primordial God Body in the entire universe. Unless the body's previous owner died, it would never appear again.

"This is crazy and absurd." Said Qin Tian.

He then looked at the price of the item.

250 million dollars.

"Oh, shit."

(Note: One dollar in this novel world is equivalent to ten US dollars today.)

"The Night-Heaven Company must have gone crazy. They actually sell game items for tens to hundreds of millions of dollars."

"Don't they have any more money?"

"Who would buy such an expensive game item. Even the richest person in the world probably wouldn't buy it."

"I thought this was a good game because they wouldn't be selling any more items after the game was released, but what they did this time was completely beyond my senses."

"But this game does look good. Look at the graphics, it looks like the real world."

"Well, even without buying items from them, I would still really enjoy a game with such graphics."

"There are 3 hours left before this game can be downloaded and played, I really can't wait."

"Games that carry the concept of cultivation are always interesting to play, I hope there are no problems with this game."

"God, give me two hundred and fifty million dollars." Qin Tian finally also wrote in the comments column after he registered his account.

His account nickname is Jian which means sword.

Even though he was not a fan of sword techniques, he always liked to carry a sword as an accessory.

Ding / 9

The sound of a chime suddenly resounded in his room, no, it echoed throughout the villa.

"Oh, it's 9pm already, time for dinner." Qin Tian then stood up from the chair.

His aunt is very strict about eating rules. When it was time to eat, everyone in the villa had to go down to the dining room.

After standing up from the chair, Qin Tian immediately walked towards the door of his room. He opened the door of the room before stepping out.

Incidentally when he came out of his room, the door of the room next to his room also opened.

A young girl his age then came out of the room.

The young girl is wearing silver glasses.

She is 160 cm tall, her hair is cut short, and her skin is white like snow.

Her face was pretty like a fairy, and there was a small mole under her left eye that made her face look sharp. Of course, it matched her cold facial expression perfectly.

However, after the girl walked out of the room, she only glanced at Qin Tian briefly before turning her gaze another direction. She then walked towards the stairs without greeting Qin Tian.

Qin Tian could only shake his head when he saw the attitude of the young girl.

Her name is Shui Yingyue.

She was his aunt's second daughter, and her father was his aunt's third husband.

Speaking of his aunt, she is a smart woman who managed to deceive three rich men through the inheritance of their child.

She divorced her first husband, but she managed to get custody of their child. And of course, she managed to force her first husband to give up half of his wealth as an inheritance for their child.

Her second husband died inexplicably, and she managed to get half the inheritance.

And her third husband who was Shui Yingyue's father, he had the same fate as her first husband.

In City Z, people gave her the title Lady Cobra because of her success in becoming the richest woman in City Z after tricking three rich men.

Every time he heard a story about his aunt, even Qin Tian could only sigh in admiration. Even in sixteen heavens, it was very difficult to find a woman like his aunt.

Qin Tian then walked following Shui Yingyue behind.

Looking at her thin back, he couldn't help but sigh.

When his parents were still alive, even though at that time Shui Yingyue was already a woman with a cold personality, at that time she had a very good relationship with him. But ever since he stayed at her mother's house, Shui Yingyue had started to act indifferent to him.

It was probably because he spent more time playing games than studying.

There is a reason why he is acting like that. He was initially happy that he was reborn, but unfortunately his life on earth was not as smooth as he had thought.

The absence of spiritual energy on earth caused him to be unable to cultivate regardless of how many cultivation techniques he had. He even tried various other methods but none of his attempts were successful.

Failure after failure made him despair. In the end, he could only spend much of his time playing games.

Shui Yingyue herself was a very educated woman who looked up to education.

As far as Qin Tian knew, Shui Yingyue had already mastered five foreign languages at her current age.

They were currently in the 3rd grade of senior high school, but in reality, Shui Yingyue had been invited many times by many well-known universities from various countries.

It's just that, she refused all the invitations. On the contrary, she continued her education according to the normal path.

Not long after, Qin Tian and Shui Yingyue finally arrived at the dining room.

When they got there, there were already two people sitting at the dining table.

One of them is a woman in her 20s. She has a tall build, blonde hair, and blue eyes like those of westerners. She is a mixed Asian and European woman.

Children born to mixed partners always have good looks even when their parents' appearance is mediocre. But the woman was born to a very beautiful mother and of course, her father was also very handsome.

Just the word beautiful is not enough to describe her beauty. She deserves to be called the epitome of beauty.

Her name was Angela Qin, and she was her aunt's first daughter.

And the woman who was sitting in the main seat. She was a woman who looked to be in her 30s.

The woman's height is about 170 cm.

Advertisements

Her face looked similar to Shui Yingyue's face. She also has a small mole under her left eye.

She didn't show a cold expression like Shui Yingyue's. She looked relaxed and friendly, and her expression looked more like a smart, mature woman.

However, she had sharp eyes similar to those of an eagle. They were eyes that could make people with a weak mentality lower their heads. And of course, they were also eyes that could kill multiple men with just a single glance.

She is Qin Wuxin. Qin Tian's aunt, the older sister of Qin Tian's father in this world.

Qin Tian's conclusion about his aunt after observing her all this time was; his aunt is an ambitious woman who values wealth and can do anything to get it.

Looking at his aunt who was sitting in the main seat, Qin Tian couldn't help but think of how to get 250 million dollars from her.

Even though $ 250 million is a very large number, with her aunt's fortune, which is nearly $ 10 billion, $ 250 million is including the amount her aunt can provide at any time.

But, even the child of the richest person in the world might not dare to ask their parents 250 million dollars, not to mention Qin Tian who is only a nephew.

Qin Tian is a man with dignity. In fact, he had never spoken to ask his aunt for money, he had only ever accepted the money his aunt gave him.

However, the appearance of the Sixteen Heavens made him doubt how to act.

"Should I say it?" He wondered. "Auntie has always been interested in unusual things, she would probably use up her money if she found out what the Night-Heaven Company has done."

His thoughts made him fall into reverie. He only came to his senses when he heard Shui Yingyue's voice as she greeted her mother and older sister.

"Mom, sis." Said Shui Yingyue in a soft voice.

The younger ones should greet the older ones, that was the main rule in the villa.

"Um, aunt, sis." Qin Tian quickly greeted his aunt and Angela Qin after he woke up from his reverie.

But his rushed tone as he spoke only made his aunt and Angela Qin look at him even more strangely. In fact, they had been staring at him with strange eyes ever since he had appeared in the dining room.

The strangeness of his expression couldn't be hidden from their eyes.

"What's the matter with you, little brother? Why does your face look like you're in serious trouble." Angela Qin suddenly asked.

She looked him in the eye as she spoke.

Unlike Shui Yingyue, who always showed a cold expression, Angela Qin was a cheerful woman who easily communicated with everyone.

Apart from that, she also has quite a hobby of playing games.

"Very rarely do you daydream like that." His aunt also spoke. "If you have a problem, you have to tell me. You know, in this city of Z, there is no problem that I can't solve." She smiled confidently as she spoke. But her eagle eyes stared intently into his eyes.

There, only Shui Yingyue seemed indifferent.

"Erm," two questions at once made Qin Tian confused about what to answer.

But his expression only made Angela Qin and his aunt continue to stare at him with strange expressions.

"Maybe." In the end, one word managed to get out of his mouth.

Of course, the answer took them by surprise. Even Shui Yingyue gave him a brief glance.

"Okay, you eat first. After that, tell everything to the aunt."

Whenever there was something to be discussed, they had to finish their meal first before speaking. That is the custom in that villa.

Qin Tian nodded and he started to take the food on the table. But his thoughts made his appetite disappear quickly. In the end, he only managed to swallow a few mouthfuls of rice as his aunt and two cousins finished their meal.

But neither of them spoke even after they finished their meal, they just kept looking at him and waited for him to finish his meal.

"Huh." Qin Tian sighed. "In fact, this is just a ridiculous matter that is absolutely nothing to worry about." He finally started talking before he even finished his meal.

"Nothing will happen even if I don't do anything."

"Oh, but why do you look so troubled?" Angela Qin asked.

"You have to say it, Tian." Said his aunt.

Qin Tian was silent for a while, but after that he then took out his smartphone from his clothes pocket.

He then opened the Sixteen Heaven web site.

The loading of the website is still slow but it is faster than before.

After the website opened, Qin Tian then handed over his smartphone to his aunt.

"The Night-Heaven Company just did something strange." Said Qin Tian as he handed over his smartphone.

He handed over his smartphone because he wanted his aunt to see it for herself.

Although her aunt was not a gamer, she was, after all, a businesswoman who headed a large company. With her broad insight, there weren't many things in this world that she couldn't understand.

Her aunt received the smartphone that she handed over. She stared at him for a moment before she looked at the smartphone screen.

"Er." She had just started staring at the smartphone screen and she was already furrowing his brows.

Angela Qin who was already curious finally took out her own smartphone.

"What the hell." It was only a few moments before the two women screamed.

"What is the Night-Heaven Company trying to do?"

"Do they think their game is the real world. Hahahaha, they are selling game items at such a high price, I'm afraid they will be sued by the government."

"..." Qin Tian

"So Tian, what do you think they are doing?" His aunt then asked him.

But after asking that question, she immediately asked another question.

"Oh, so what makes you look troubled, is it because you wanted to buy that game item?"

"Hahahaha, those items cost tens to hundreds of millions of dollars, are you sure you want to buy them, little brother?" Angela Qin chuckled.

Shui Yingyue, who had always been silent from earlier, finally looked at Qin Tian after she heard Angela Qin's words.

Her cold eyes looked surprised as she stared at Qin Tian. "You are crazy,." She finally spoke albeit in a low voice.

After speaking, she also took out her smartphone. She was clearly curious after she heard that the prices of game items could be in the tens of millions to hundreds of millions of dollars.

Qin Tian could only smile wryly at the expressions of the three women.

Luckily his aunt is much calmer than her two daughters. She chose to ask once more, and this time she showed a serious expression.

"Tian, why are you thinking of buying those game items?" She asked.

Even though the prices of those items were so ridiculous, she was clearly starting to feel curious.

"Mom." Shui Yingyue suddenly spoke, but her mother raised her hand to stop her from speaking.

"Let's listen to Tian's explanation first." She said in a stern tone.

Qin Tian naturally had an explanation but he couldn't say that unless he wanted to be sent to a mental hospital by his aunt.

"Ehmmm." Qin Tian cleared his throat. "There are reasons I can't say. But I'm sure they really are worth buying." He answered.

He stared at his aunt's face, waiting for how she would react after she heard his words.

But his aunt still didn't change her expression. Instead, she asked once again. "So which item do you want to buy?"

Qin Tian was a little surprised by his aunt's question. He felt strange hearing his aunt ask such a question.

But he still answered his aunt's question. "The items that interest me the most are the most expensive item they sell." Said Qin Tian.

Bam...

Shui Yingyue who was sitting next to him suddenly patted the table quite hard. She then stood up from her chair.

"This is bullshit."

She then stared at Qin Tian, anger flashing across her cold face.

"Is that all you can do?"

Looking at Shui Yingyue, Qin Tian could only sigh. She was clearly angry that he intended to spend so much money just on games.

"Calm down, Yingyue, why are you scolding your brother?" Qin Wuxin couldn't keep quiet as she watched her daughter get angry.

"I don't have a brother like him." She answered.

After saying that, she immediately turned around and walked away from there.

"Huh." Qin Wuxin sighed. "Yingyue is still cold until now."

"And whose fault is it?" Angela Qin looked at her mother with a sneer.

Of course, it was family matters that had caused Shui Yingyue's personality to turn cold.

"Okay, okay, let's go back to the previous conversation." Qin Wuxin changed the subject. She looked at Qin Tian once again.

"The price of the item you want to buy is 250 million dollars. Are you sure you will spend 250 million dollars on a game item?" She asked.

"Mm." Qin Tian nodded. He wondered why his aunt seemed so interested.

"If I have 250 million dollars, I'll use them to buy that item." Said Qin Tian.

"Wow, little brother, are you kidding?"

"I will definitely do that."

"Huu, you look so sure." Qin Wuxin spoke.

She then said something that made Qin Tian and Angela Qin stunned. "Why don't we go to your room first, we'll talk about it there."

She stood up from her chair after she said that.

"Ha, mom, are you kidding? Why do you look like you also want to buy that item?"

"Aunt." Qin Tian also hesitated.

"Just follow my words." Qin Wuxin waved her hand.

She then walked towards the stairs.

"Does she really want to buy it?" Qin Tian wondered inwardly.

She and Angela Qin then walked following Qin Wuxin behind.

The door to Shui Yingyue's room was tightly closed when they passed in front of her room, but they didn't try to disturb her.

They then entered Qin Tian's room.

After entering Qin Tian's room, they immediately walked over to the computer table.

Qin Tian's computer was still on and it was still displaying the Primordial God Body menu. Qin Tian let out a sigh of relief when he saw that the item was still unsold.

In fact, even the cheapest items still weren't selling. People may feel curious but the prices of these items are simply too high to get rid of their curiosity.

His aunt then stepped forward while he and Angela stood behind him.

"When you invest in something that will be profitable, putting out more capital means you will get more profit." He started talking.

Even though he was talking about business, there was clearly another meaning behind his words.

As Qin Tian tried to understand what his aunt meant, he saw her aunt's index finger suddenly touch the buy button in the Primordial God Body menu.

Ding.

(Please make payment)

The robotic voice then echoes from the computer screen. After that, the computer screen changes to the payment menu.

Qin Tian and Angela looked at each other in confusion. They wondered if she was really going to pay for the item.

"What's wrong with aunt?" Qin Tian wondered inwardly.

He felt that his aunt's attitude had gotten weird ever since they started talking about the Night-Heaven Company.

"Tian." His aunt suddenly looked at him and called out to him.

"This is 250 million dollars. This is not small money. You know, the average citizen of the developed world only earns 10 dollars a day. 1 dollar is enough for an ordinary family for a simple dinner."

After saying that, she suddenly took out her smartphone.

She stared at the computer screen one more time for a few moments before touching the screen of her smartphone.

"Mom." Angela could no longer be calm when she saw what her mother was up to.

"It's my money, not yours, please be quiet." She glanced at Angela with sharp eyes.

After that, she looked back at Qin Tian.

"Since I took care of you, I consider you as my own child. I even prepared the same inheritance between you and my two daughters."

"I don't demand you to become someone who keeps growing, but at least I don't want the inheritance I gave you to end in vain."

"Now what I want to ask you is; how sure are you with that item?"

Qin Tian was almost breathless when he heard his aunt's words. His aunt's momentum as she spoke truly made Qin Tian who was once the Paragon of sixteen heavens feel like he was just a child.

Of course, it was also because of his mentality that had changed a lot since he lived in this world. But still it was still something he would never have imagined in the past.

Qin Tian knew, if his aunt were born in sixteen heavens, she would definitely become a great figure among all the women in sixteen heavens.

"I am very sure, aunt." He finally answered. "If it really is a useless thing, there is nothing else that would interest me in this world." He said in a stern tone.

Angela who was standing beside him widened her blue eyes when she heard his words.

Ding.

(Payment has been confirmed)

(Jian, you have successfully purchased Primordial God Body, the item will be sent to your account inventory.)

A robotic voice echoed on the computer screen right after Qin Tian spoke.

Qin Tian's eyes immediately widened when he heard that voice. He looked at his aunt with an expression of disbelief.

As he looked at his aunt, the stern expression on his aunt's face suddenly disappeared and was replaced by a gentle smile.

'...' Qin Tian, Angela.

The two of them didn't know what to say.

Of course, once the purchase was successful, Night-Heaven Company announced it immediately on their website.

(Primordial God Body has been purchased by Jian)

They only wrote short sentences, but it took the whole world by storm.

"God, someone actually spent 250 million dollars on a game item."

"Who is it? Is that the heir to the Rock family? I heard the Rock family heir loves to play games."

"I don't think so, that person goes by the name Jian, he should be an East Asian."

"No, I don't believe this, this is probably just a trick of the Night-Heaven Company to lure other rich people to buy their items."

"Ah, that's right, why don't I think about it, this is probably just a trick of the Night-Heaven Company to trick us all."

Night-Heaven Company did not respond to them. But after the most expensive item was sold, several other items also started to be bought. Of course, most of them were simply the cheapest items. It can be ascertained that the buyers are wealthy gamers.

Click...

Qin Tian's room door suddenly opened while he was still staring at his aunt.

The cold-faced Shui Yingyue then entered the room.

She walked towards Qin Tian and the others. Her gaze was immediately fixed on the computer screen after she arrived.

"You!" She looked at Qin Tian and her mother with an expression of disbelief.

"Okay, okay, Yingyue, it has happened and it can't be stopped anymore." Qin Wenxin spoke. Sheel then walked over to her daughter who was angry.

"Now Yingyue, can you use your skills to cover the tracks of this transaction. Even though the Night-Heaven Company guarantees the confidentiality of the transaction, I still can't rest easy if you haven't acted." She said while patting her daughter's shoulder.

Shui Yingyue was a genius woman who mastered a lot of science, but her greatest talent lay in programmers and hackers.

Her skills had already reached the peak level, she was one of the world's top hackers. And no one knows her abilities other than the four people in that villa.

However, even though Shui Yingyue was an expert programmer, and she was even quite interested in game creation, she was not that interested in playing games. That's totally different from most programmers and hackers who like to play games.

If she is asked, she will answer. "They become programmers because they really like games, but me because I love all kinds of science."

Even though Shui Yingyue looked angry, she still followed her mother's words. She took the smartphone in her mother's hand, after which, her two fingers began to touch the smartphone screen.

It took five minutes before she returned the smartphone to her mother.

"Well, I will not behave unfairly." Qin Wenxin started speaking again.

She looked alternately at Angela and Shui Yingyue. "Because I bought Tian the most expensive item, if you two also want items in the game, you can say it. I'll buy it for both of you."

"I might as well need to buy some for myself."

"Somehow I suddenly feel like there will be big changes in the coming time."

(I don't know what you guys think about the initial plot of this novel.

Well, some things may seem forced on this plot like how his aunt agreed to spend 250 million dollars, but I've been choosing this plot ever since it popped into my mind.

Of course, there was a reason why his aunt followed Qin Tian's words. It will be answered in the future.)

At 12 o'clock midnight.

The Sixteen Heavens Game is finally officially released by Night-Heavan Company. It can already be downloaded on their official site.

Although the game had only been announced that night, the sensation caused by it caused news of the game to spread very quickly.

Plus, with the game's graphics that look one level more advanced than the other games, it only increases people's curiosity about the game.

When the game files were released, it only took a few moments before the number of people who downloaded the game reached hundreds of millions.

Qin Tian also downloaded the game, but he couldn't help but sigh as he watched the slow-moving download process. Even though the internet today is very fast, the files of this era also contain a very large amount of data.

Of course, another factor that causes the download process to be so slow is the large number of people downloading the game. Too many visitors obviously caused Night-Heaven Company's servers to go down.

"It literally takes 30 minutes, I never downloaded that long." Said Qin Tian as he looked at the estimated download time.

"Huh." He then got up from the chair.

Seeing that his room was spacious and full of facilities but there were no people, he could only sigh once again.

After buying the Primordial God Body, his aunt actually created an account for her and her two daughters, and she also bought some items for them.

After that, she suddenly left the villa due to some sudden business while Angela and Yingyue returned to their respective rooms.

Angela may be just like him, waiting for the game to be released, but he doesn't know what Yingyue is up to.

Qin Tian originally wanted to visit Yingyue, but in the end he chose to sit back down.

"Let the girl calm down first." He said in a low voice.

He understood why Shui Yingyue's personality had turned so cold. Among the people in the villa, that girl was probably the one suffering the most.

Angela's father's family is overseas, but Shui Yingyue's father's family is also in that country. Even though they lived in a different city, there were still some of their people in Z city.

Losing a lot of wealth as a result of the divorce made the family hate Qin Wenxin and even Shui Yingyue

They couldn't do anything to Qin Wenxin, hence, they took their anger out on Shui Yingyue more often than not.

Even when the girl was very young, they had caused trouble for her many times.

30 minutes later, the download is finally complete.

After installing the game on his computer, he immediately walked over to the sci-fi-designed capsule beside his bed.

There are many Virtual Reality equipment nowadays, from helmets to glasses that can be taken anywhere. However, the most advanced were the capsule-like equipment in his room.

Even though the function of all Virtual Reality equipment was the same, namely, sending human consciousness into the virtual world, the capsule-shaped equipment had many more additional features. At the very least, the user's body was much safer when using the capsule-shaped Virtual Reality equipment.

Simple Virtual Reality Equipment can only send human consciousness to the virtual world, but the capsule can check the body's condition at any time and send body condition information to the consciousness of users who are in the virtual world.

Arriving in front of the capsule, Qin Tian then pressed the blue button that was outside the capsule, and immediately the capsule opened.

The capsule walls were made of glass, from inside the capsule, everything outside could be seen clearly.

There is a simple mattress in the capsule and on top of it is a pair of black glasses that look very sophisticated.

Qin Tian then went into the capsule. He lay in the capsule before placing the sunglasses in front of his eyes.

There is a little blue button on the glasses. The moment he pressed that button, the capsule immediately closed.

Ding.

The glass wall at the top of the capsule suddenly displayed a computer menu with many features.

Qin Tian didn't pay attention to those features because he was used to all of them.

After the computer menu appeared, his hand immediately pressed the enter button on the computer menu.

After he pressed the button, a robotic voice then echoed within the capsule.

(Your consciousness will be sent to the virtual world in 10 seconds.)

When the count reached 0, Qin Tian immediately lost his consciousness.

But that only lasted for a moment. As he regained consciousness, he found himself standing on a cloud.

In front of him was a giant virtual screen that displayed a list of the games stored on his computer.

He had played most of them already so he wasn't that interested in them anymore.

His gaze then fell on a simple image but there was the inscription (Sixteen Heaven) in the middle.

Qin Tian's eyes immediately lit up when he saw the image.

"Sixteen Heaven, I have returned." He spoke in a low voice.

His index finger then points to the image. With a small push, his index finger immediately pierced the image.

But after that, a black hole suddenly appeared behind the image, and it immediately sucked his body into it.

That experience is not a new experience. He had experienced that countless times every time he entered the world of virtual games.

After he passed through the black hole, he found himself appearing on top of a rocky ground so dark that his line of sight was very limited.

His figure in that place looked like a spirit. It has the shape of a human body but it has no face.

He wasn't the only person there, there were countless figures like him in that place. And their number continues to grow over time.

After playing many games, Qin Tian had already experienced various experiences when the game was just starting.

What was happening right now was not something strange to him. But somehow he felt something completely different.

"Night-Heaven Company, who exactly are you, why do you know the existence of Sixteen Heaven. Is it just a game or the real world?" Questions continued to fill Qin Tian's mind.

Before the appearance of Sixteen Heaven, Night-Heaven Company in his eyes was just an ordinary giant company. It is managed the same way as any other company. Even the shareholders of the company are not strangers.

Of course, Qin Tian had the desire to investigate them, but he knew that as a mortal, he would be unable to do anything to a giant company like them.

"Whether it's just a game or another world, I can definitely find out once I enter it.

The reason why Qin Tian said that was because he had many cultivation techniques in his memory. As long as he was in the real world, he could cultivate those cultivation techniques. He couldn't cultivate them on earth simply because there was no spiritual energy on earth. But if Sixteen Heaven games really were a real world, he would definitely be able to cultivate them there.

"Hu, I finally got in. I wonder how good this game is."

"I wonder if that guy who spent $ 250 million is here right now."

"After the most expensive item was sold, other rich gamers also bought this game item. I don't know what they were thinking."

"But with those items, they'll have more of an advantage in this game. You know, this game is really like a world of cultivation where talent and cultivation techniques are the most important thing."

Many conversations were heard as more people arrived. Unfortunately because they are exactly the same shape, no one can recognize each other.

"Hmmm…" A cold snort suddenly resounded as people were busy chatting.

It sounded low but it caused the space around the people to tremble.

They had not had time to react before they suddenly saw two blood red suns appear far above them.

The two suns emit light that illuminates the land below.

But when people finally saw because of the existence of light, they finally realized that the two suns that had suddenly appeared above them were not suns.

They saw a giant figure in black robes behind the two suns. And the two suns are actually on the figure's head.

Seeing that gigantic figure, not to mention the others, even Qin Tian, who had seen many beings in the sixteen heavens, was still stunned for a moment.

He didn't know how big it was, but it wasn't its size that stunned him. Rather, it was the appearance of that figure.

The figure's head looked like a fortress skull, and it was completely blood red.

There were many holes in the figure's robe, but inside the robe was neither flesh nor skull. What was there were only black flames that occasionally gushed out of the robe.

Not far behind the figure, was a black scythe with three blades.

The black scythe was not very big, it was only the size of a human body, but there was a very long chain on the black scythe, and the chain tied the neck of the giant figure.

The gigantic figure looked like it wanted to move downwards, but the chains binding its neck kept it unable to move any further than the scythe behind it.

"Finally there are human souls coming, I'm really lonely." The figure finally made a sound after it looked at the people below.

In virtual reality games, there are many sound effects that can terrify players, but as for Qin Tian who has heard many terrifying sounds in the sixteen heavens, he has never felt frightened by those sound effects. But when he heard the giant figure's voice, he really shivered.

But what surprised him even more was the information he received from the capsule. The information said that his real body suddenly broke out in a lot of cold sweat.

"As expected, this really isn't an ordinary game." Said Qin Tian.

"But what exactly is it?"

While Qin Tian was thinking about many things, the people around him were busy discussing the game.

Compared to Qin Tian, they looked even more terrified. But they didn't think the same way Qin Tian was thinking.

When they felt the effect of the gigantic figure's voice, they thought it was due to the advancing game technology.

"I really want to eat all of you. All of you are just delicious souls to get rid of my hunger, unfortunately I can't do that."

"That damned man, why would he make a respectable person like me do such a lowly task." The giant figure continued to speak.

It stared at the people below as it spoke.

No one understood the meaning of its words. People thought it was just an NPC arranged by game makers, but Qin Tian felt there was a big secret behind its words.

"Listen humans, my job is to help all of you reincarnate into a world called Sixteen Heaven."

Right after the figure spoke, something suddenly appeared in the form of a long line right through the middle of them.

It was a very long yellow river. It is not known how long the river was, but it was about a hundred meters wide.

"You are currently only a speck of your complete soul, so you need to bathe in this river to grow your soul into a complete soul."

"Only after your souls are complete will you be able to go reincarnated to the sixteen heavens."

"Fuck, what's wrong with this game, why are they so wordy, can't they make up our characters and then send us straight to sixteen heavens."

"But the Night-Heaven Company really took this game very seriously, even in the early days, they already created such a complicated plot."

"Hahahaha, I thought this was really a lot of fun. It was as if we were really going to reincarnate into another world."

The giant figure above looked confused when it heard their words.

It made Qin Tian who was observing it secretly even more convinced of his thoughts.

"Is it really what that figure said, this is just a speck of my whole soul." Qin Tian wondered as he looked at his spirit-like body.

As a person who came from the cultivation world, he knew that was something that might happen.

He had also heard of the yellow river which was said to be able to restore one's soul even if the soul had only one small dot left.

Ding.

He suddenly heard a chime in his ear.

After that, a virtual screen that was the game's account menu appeared before his eyes.

There he saw a message coming from someone with the nickname Yve. That is Angela's nickname. Previously he had added friendships to the game accounts of Angela, Yingyue, and his aunt. But apart from Angela, Yingyue and his aunt's game accounts are still not active.

He then opened the message sent by Angela.

"Where are you?" Asked Angela through the message.

In other games, there is usually a feature to track the whereabouts of people who are registered as friends, but in this game there is actually no such feature, which is very strange.

"There are lots of people and they all look the same, I don't know where I am." Qin Tian replied.

"I'm raising my hand, can you see me?"

"I saw a lot of people who were raising their hands."

The people only talked for a while, after they knew that the yellow river was the entrance to the sixteen heavens, they immediately stepped towards it. They didn't really think much about the words of someone they thought of as a game NPC.

Qin Tian also stepped into the river after ending the conversation with Angela.

Ding.

A notification suddenly appeared.

(Notice: One account only has one life that is taken from a speck of your soul. If you die, all your account data will completely disappear. You can only create a new account if you want to continue playing.)

The notification might appear to everyone who was about to step into the river because they all suddenly stopped before their feet touched the river.

"Fuck, what kind of goddamn rule is this. How can die once makes us lose the account, shouldn't it be enough to revive the character when our character dies."

"Night-Heaven Company is really crazy, there is no game with such rules. Then what about those who buy expensive items? Why don't they give a warning before they buy?"

"This is definitely cheating, I will definitely sue you."

Many people cursed Night-Heaven Company when they heard the rule.

Even Qin Tian felt it was truly outrageous.

Ding.

Suddenly another notification popped up.

(Notice: If you don't agree with our rules, you can choose to delete your account now. All the money you used to buy items from us will be returned to you.)

The people who spoke earlier immediately closed their mouths when they saw the contents of the new notification.

"Whatever!" Said Qin Tian with an expression of indifference.

Advertisements

After which, he immediately jumped into the yellow river.

The last time he died was during the final battle over Heaven's Will, but before that, he had gone through countless bloody battles. He didn't believe he would die before the final battle.

Splash...

When his body fell into the river, he didn't feel like he had fallen into the water. On the contrary, he felt as if he had entered an endless dark abyss.

His consciousness started to fade little by little, and what he felt next was truly very similar to the feelings he felt before he died in the past.

Qin Tian can't open his eyes yet, but he has regained his senses, and he can see his game account menu. And it has undergone many changes compared to before.

Inventory:

Primordial God Body

Bonus: Longevity Scripture

Bonus: Iron Dragon Fist

List of missions:

There were too many missions on the mission list so he was too lazy to read them. But his inventory made his eyes sparkle because the Primordial God Body had actually appeared there.

"If it really is the real world, then I will cultivate with the Primordial God Body, I don't know how great my talent will be."

"Auntie, Angela, and Yingyue, their game accounts also bought Heavenly Bodies, if this is really a real cultivation world, they will also get peerless talent."

"In the past, I only had a spiritual body, although it was among the top tier among the three thousand spiritual bodies, but still it couldn't be compared to one of a hundred heavenly bodies."

"Emmmm, and they even gave the Longevity Scripture and the Iron Dragon Fist." Qin Tian then looked at the two bonus items in his inventory.

He naturally knew both techniques.

(Warning: below is dump info.)

The Longevity Scripture are one of the most famous cultivation techniques in the sixteen heavens. It was scattered all over the place and most of the sects in the sixteen heavens didn't care whether they were big sects or small sects, most of them would have it.

Actually the Longevity Scripture is not a powerful cultivation technique, it can even be said to be very weak, but because it is a cultivation technique that is sold cheaply and is easy to learn, many people end up practicing with it.

But it was just a low level cultivation technique in the end, for geniuses with big ambitions, they naturally wouldn't use such a cultivation technique.

If they wanted to become experts with extremely strong combat power, they had to at least cultivate the Paragon Cultivation Scriptures. Of course, the Emperor's Cultivation Scriptures were much stronger.

The Southern Emperor's Cultivation Scripture, the Flame Emperor's Cultivation Scripture, the Purple Moon Emperor's Cultivation Scripture, these three are the most famous Emperor Scriptures in the sixteen heavens because their creators were the strongest Heavenly Emperors.

The basic difference between low level cultivation techniques and high level cultivation techniques is the speed at which they absorb spiritual energy and turn them into spiritual sources.

Of course, high-level cultivation techniques were also more difficult to learn, but for those with high talent, using low-level cultivation techniques would only make their cultivation speed very slow.

Unfortunately Qin Tian had already spent too much money before, so he didn't dare ask for more so he couldn't buy any cultivation techniques.

His only hope was the memory of his past. In the past, he was a disciple of an Imperial sect and he was the most genius disciple in the sect so he was granted the right to cultivate the sect's Emperor Cultivation Scripture.

Even though the Emperor of his sect was not a very powerful Emperor, but the Emperor was still an Emperor, even the Ancient Gods were not their opponents. In reality, even Ancient Gods would fight for every Emperor Cultivation Scripture that appeared.

But even though the Longevity Scripture is just a low level cultivation technique, there are actually many legends about it.

One of the most famous legends is the secret of immortality that is said to be hidden behind the Longevity Scripture.

However, the origin of the technique is still unknown. There are many legends but none that are quite convincing.

As for the Iron Dragon Fist, it was also one of the most famous martial techniques. It was famous not because of its immense strength because it was a low level martial technique.

What makes the technique famous is because of its legend.

It was said in the distant past, there was an iron dragon that passed over the sixteen heavens.

When people saw the dragon, they suddenly gained enlightenment, and the end result was that they suddenly mastered a martial technique that became known as the Iron Dragon Fist.

There are many legends about the technique. Many said that there was a great secret in the technique, and if someone could find out that secret, they were said to be able to inherit the iron dragon's legacy.

Qin Tian didn't think much of the legends in his past life. Whether it was the Longevity Scripture or the Iron Dragon Fist, he only considered these two to be low level techniques. But because these two techniques suddenly appeared in his inventory, he couldn't help but think back about the legends of the past.

"Maybe I can find out those secrets with the Primordial God Body." He think.

"Ehhh..."

When Qin Tian was thinking, he suddenly felt a stream of information enter his memory. It is actually someone's memory.

"Damn, this is my character in the game or my reincarnation memory." Said Qin Tian as he realized that.

Right after that, he suddenly saw a light penetrate his eyes, it made him realize that he could already open his eyes.

When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a vast ocean with waves that occasionally surged upwards.

When he looked down, he finally realized that he was on the deck of a ship.

He then raised his head to the sky before taking a deep breath.

"I certainly am not mistaken, this truly is the air of sixteen heavens." He said in a low voice.

Of course, that alone was still not enough to determine if it really was the real sixteen heavens.

He then studied the memories from his reincarnation.

Just like the name, his reincarnation name is also Qin Tian.

According to his reincarnation memories, he was currently in the Dead Sea Territory of Heaven Nirvana.

Qin Tian naturally knows the place.

Nirvana Heaven itself is one of the sixteen heavens. It had five regions called the Land of Monsters in the east, the Land of Rain in the north, the Barren Territory in the south, the Dead Sea Territory in the far west, and the Land of Emperors in the center.

Qin Tian wasn't from Nirvana Heaven, but he had been to that place several times and he even had a few friends there. Even though he had only been to the Land of Emperors, he still knew some things in the other four territories.

"But my reincarnation is really sad." Qin Tian then looked at his two thin hands.

In this world he is also 17 years old. But he has no parents or family, he has lived in an orphanage since he was little.

His reincarnation dreams of becoming a famous swordsman. From his youth, he always carried a sword wherever he went. However, even though he always carried a sword, he couldn't practice swordsmanship due to his weak body. His body had become weak due to an unknown disease.

At this time, he was following his brother in the orphanage to the continent of the Shark God.

They came from a small island around the Shark God continent. In reality, it was only one of the countless islands there.

Every few years, there would be envoys from sects in the Shark God continent who would come to the islands to recruit new disciples.

His brother, Yang Ming, happened to have quite a talent in cultivation. He was only 17 years old and he had already reached the third layer of Spiritual Apprentice.

When the sect envoys came to their island, Yang Ming was successfully accepted by one of the smaller sects. And he then took him to the Shark God continent in the hope that they could find someone who could cure his disease.

"For people like you and your brother who have little talent, you may not be able to pay the fees even if you meet someone who can cure your disease." Qin Tian shook his head.

"But fortunately you are my reincarnation. With the Primordial God Body, no disease in this world can invade your body."

Qin Tian then looked at the virtual screen that had suddenly appeared in front of him. His gaze is fixed on the image of the gray body in the inventory menu.

"Use that." He said in a low voice.

"Would you like to use the Primordial God Body?"

A question appeared on the virtual screen.

"Yes." Qin Tian immediately nodded.

Bussss...

After which, that Primordial God Body image suddenly scattered like wind blown dust, it disappeared from his inventory menu.

But the moment that happened, Qin Tian could feel the changes in his body.

His original body was only a mortal body and he hadn't even cultivated so he couldn't activate spiritual sense.

But now, his spiritual sense could suddenly be activated. For those who haven't cultivated, usually only those with a special body, bloodline, or soul that can activate spiritual sense.

Even though his spiritual sense was just activated, Qin Tian didn't need to train to control it because of his past experiences.

He then used that spiritual sense to investigate his body.

"Mmm…" He immediately showed a shocked expression as he looked at the insides of his body.

Whether it was flesh, blood, bones, and everything in his body, it actually turned a dark gray like the color when the sky was dark.

"Is this the Primordial God Body?"

"And that," he then stared at the gray ball in his stomach.

"Even my spiritual world is gray."

"Primordial Soul, Primordial Bloodline?" Qin Tian was immediately shocked as he looked at his bloodline and soul. He originally thought that only his body would change. After all, whether it was the soul or the bloodline, they were a separate plane from the body.

"So that's why my blood turned gray. But unfortunately I can't see my soul right now."

"It's just that, I've never heard of primordial souls and primordial bloodlines."

The soul is just like the body, some people are born with special souls. However, the number of people born with special souls was far rarer. In fact, there is not much knowledge of special souls in the sixteen heavens. Even at the item shop before, he didn't find any soul items.

And a special bloodline, it was something that came from top level experts passed down to their descendants.

"I was only a young Paragon at the time, so there are many secrets I don't know, I don't even know where the Emperors went." He shook his head.

"Now it's better if I try this body strength first."

After saying that, he walked from the deck to the room behind him.

The ship was really, really big. It has many rooms and each room has its own deck.

Qin Tian actually lived in Yang Ming's room, but at this time that Yang Ming was not in his room, he went to the place of the sect envoy who had recruited him.

After entering the room, Qin Tian did not immediately try to cultivate, he first walked towards the mirror in the room. He wanted to see the appearance of his new body first.

Now what was completely different from his body was that he didn't feel the weakness he had before, which meant that his disease was gone.

After seeing his body in the mirror, he could only shake his head.

His body was really thin and his skin looked very pale like a dead person. He would probably have looked good if it weren't for those two problems.

But he was immediately taken aback when he saw his eyes and hair. His eyes were purple like grapes while his hair was white like silver.

The Sixteen Heavens actually had many races, but purple eyes and white hair were still extremely rare.

Of course, it wasn't because of their rarity that Qin Tian was shocked, but it was because he was reminded of someone who had such eyes and hair.

"Alea, I don't know how you are now, I hope you are well. Unfortunately your master failed to become Heavenly Emperor, and died." Qin Tian sighed as he remembered his disciple.

His disciple had the ambition to become a Heavenly Emperor, but because she was born quite late, she ended up sealing herself in the Immortal burial ground.

Qin Tian had never seen her again since escorting her there.

He didn't know what era it was now, and how many eras had passed since he died. His current reincarnation didn't have much knowledge. Maybe only 17 years had passed since he reincarnated, but he knew a natural reincarnation process like what happened to him would definitely take a very long time.

"I hope we can meet again."

He then turned away from the mirror and walked towards the bed in the room.

He moved the sword at his waist onto the table before climbing onto the bed.

Unlike him in the past who liked to carry swords but only as accessories, his current reincarnation really liked swords a lot.

"Sorry, unfortunately I still have no interest in learning sword arts." Said Qin Tian.

"Now then, it's time to find out if this is the real world or just a game world."

"But before that," he then looked at the two bonus items in his inventory.

"Use them."

After he spoke, the two items immediately disappeared from his inventory, and his stats changed immediately after that.

Cultivation: None / Spiritual Source: 0/1

Spiritual Energy: 0 (Note: 100 spiritual energies can be converted into 1 spiritual source. The speed at which spiritual energy converts to spiritual sources depends on the player's talent.)

"Ha?"

Qin Tian was immediately shocked when he saw his new stats.

What took him by surprise were the words (First Stage) that appeared on the Longevity Scripture and the Iron Dragon Fist.

"As expected, these two techniques are no ordinary techniques."

If it's the first stage, there will probably be a second stage or a third stage. But from what he knew, those two techniques only had one stage.

"And it can actually absorb 1 spiritual energy within 1 second, obviously because of the Primordial God Body. Even low level cultivation techniques are almost comparable to high level cultivation techniques."

"But what if I use a high level cultivation technique?" Qin Tian became even more curious.

In his past life, it took him more than ten seconds to absorb a single spiritual energy when he cultivated using the Longevity Scripture, even though he had a high-level spiritual body at that time.

But now it only takes him a second.

He finally found out how great that Primordial God Body was. Not to mention 250 million dollars, even the entire sixteen heavens might not compare to that.

And what was most powerful about the Primordial God Body was its ability to absorb every kind of energy.

For an ordinary mortal body or even a spiritual body like the one he had in his past life, they could normally only absorb pure spiritual energy which could only be found in extremely rare cultivation resources.

Advertisements

If they try to absorb spiritual energy in nature or ordinary resources, they have to purify it first before they can absorb it into their bodies.

From purifying spiritual energy, absorbing it into the body, and turning it into a spiritual source, the time they spent was really very long.

"Now I will try to cultivate with the cultivation techniques in my memory. Whether this is the real world or just the game world can be determined whether or not those cultivation techniques can be used."

(Note: Dragon or Phoenix in this novel is Mysterious existence.)

Qin Tian then closed his eyes and started trying to cultivate.

But just an instant after he closed his eyes, he then opened them again. He did that because he suddenly heard the sound of the game system in his mind.

"Warning: You are prohibited from using cultivation techniques and martial arts techniques that do not originate from the system. You must complete missions to obtain cultivation techniques and martial arts techniques from the system."

When he heard that voice, he could feel a kind of rejection as he tried to cultivate using the cultivation techniques in his memory.

"This." Qin Tian was shocked by the system created by that game system.

"But that cultivation technique looks like it can be used here. This world might really be the real world. If this were just a game world made of data sets, cultivation techniques shouldn't have any effect on it."

Even though his guess had not been fully proven, he was becoming more and more convinced by it.

"Humph, now I can only cultivate using the Longevity Scripture." He shook his head.

After which, he closed his eyes again.

As he began to practice cultivation methods, he could feel the spiritual energy around him. He then used his spiritual sense to absorb them.

Advertisements

For others, they have to purify the spiritual energy first before absorbing it into the body.

But while he was cultivating, he found his body could easily absorb the spiritual energy around him.

20

Within twenty seconds, he had managed to absorb 20 spiritual energies.

He then opened his eyes and stopped cultivating. He did that because the spiritual energy in the room had run out.

There is a limit to the radius a person can absorb spiritual energy. For those who only possessed a mortal body and were just starting to cultivate, they might only be able to absorb spiritual energy within a 1 meter radius around them.

Qin Tian with his Primordial God Body can absorb spiritual energy within a 20 meter radius around him.

Usually a 1 meter area contains 1 spiritual energy.

And once the spiritual energy in an area is absorbed, the spiritual energy in that area will usually run out or become empty, and it will take some time before the area has spiritual energy once again.

Spiritual energy is not like air which is always moving to fill an empty place. Unless they are moved, they will never move from where they appeared.

Why is it like that? Even Qin Tian doesn't know why. Even the Heavenly Emperor and Ancient Gods who have lived for a long time might be ignorant. Lol, (but I find such a theory to be more reliable.)

And why is that still happening while the ship is moving?

First, the spiritual energy in the ship is generated by the ship itself.

Spiritual energy actually appears everywhere including in a ship.

As for the spiritual energies outside that the ship had passed through, they had been absorbed by the ship so that the people inside the ship could not get to them.

To move the ship, it takes a lot of energy. And in order to save costs, they would use up all kinds of energy that the ship could absorb.

For those who didn't have the cultivation resources, they could only change places whenever the spiritual energy in the place where they cultivated ran out.

If they chose to wait, they would have to wait 10 to 60 minutes before spiritual energy appeared again, depending on how fertile the place was. In some places that were very fertile, the spiritual energy in that place could reappear right after it was used up.

He then got up from the bed.

After that, he looked at the stats one more time, and found that they had changed.

Cultivation: None / Spiritual Source: 0/1

Spiritual Energy: 20 (Note: 100 spiritual energies can be converted into 1 spiritual source. The speed at which spiritual energy converts to spiritual sources depends on the player's talent.)

The spiritual energy that was originally 0 has changed to 20.

"Not bad." He nodded in satisfaction when he saw that.

After which, he then shifted his gaze towards the mission list.

There were many missions, but he chose the one at the top.

Mission level 1: Become a Spiritual Apprentice.

Reward: The system will help unlock one of the Primordial God Body's abilities. (Divine Perception)

Qin Tian then opened up more detailed information from (Divine Perception). But the moment he read the information, he was immediately stunned because it really was a rather absurd ability.

It was actually an ability that allowed his spiritual sense to penetrate any object and could not be detected even when he was absorbing spiritual energy.

Of course, it wouldn't be strange for those who were stronger to hide their spiritual sense in front of those who were weaker, but they wouldn't be able to do it in front of those who were stronger.

But this (Divine Perception), it could actually evade detection from even a much stronger expert than him no matter how strong they were.

"This ability is truly too heaven-defying. Doesn't that mean I can enter other people's storage rings and then absorb the cultivation resources that are in there." "After all, there aren't many people in this world watching over their storage rings all the time."

After saying that, he then turned his gaze towards the room door.

"Looks like I have to find another place to cultivate." He says.

"Even though this is only a ship, but I smell a lot of wealth here." He smiled faintly.

For the people from the desert island, who would join the sects in the Shark God continent, they naturally brought a lot of cultivation resources with them. Most of the clans there would give almost all of their resources if any of their descendants were accepted by the sects in the Shark God continent.

He then walked towards the door and immediately opened the door after he arrived at the door.

Click...

After the door opened, he immediately stepped out of the room.

Advertisements

Outside the room, what he found was a very long hallway. And many room doors in that hallway.

(Note: Here the MC cannot use the techniques in his memory. You may feel lacking

I make rules like that because I don't want it to be too easy.

But that's not entirely the case. Well, you will find the answers in later chapters.)

"I wonder if there are other players on this ship?" Said Qin Tian.

"Sixteen heavens may be large enough to separate everyone on earth to different places, but I don't think the game system will send everyone to different places."

It's not that there isn't a game with a very large world, but any game with such a world will usually send several people in the same location so that they can fight together.

Qin Tian didn't think too much, he then walked to the left side of the hallway. His reincarnation still memorized a few streets on the ship, so he wasn't confused about choosing a path.

Of course, he could cultivate in the hallway of that ship, but it would be too conspicuous if he cultivated there. Even though he did not see anyone in the hallway, he occasionally felt a spiritual sense emanating from the doors in the hallway. He had not currently reached the level where he could cultivate while walking.

A few moments later, he arrived at the end of the hallway and there were several other hallway there.

He then chose the hallway where there was a staircase that descended downwards.

He chose that hallway because it was rare for people to go there because down there was actually the residence of the magical beasts that belonged to the people on that ship.

Besides, he wanted to try out one of the Primordial God Body's special abilities on those magical beasts.

The length of the stairs was about 8 meters. After arriving at the end of the stairs, he saw several hallway there. The hallway were not very long, only about 5 meters and at each end of the passage he saw a hall.

The halls were a bit dark so he couldn't quite tell what was inside, but there was an occasional beast sound from inside.

The hall was divided according to the strength of the magic beasts that resided there.

Since his strength was still weak, he ended up choosing to walk towards the hall that housed the weakest magical beasts.

Arriving at the door of the hall, he immediately stepped into it. Only after he had entered the hall could he see everything in there quite clearly.

Inside the hall, he saw many magical beasts. Most of them are horses and birds. Of course, there are also some wild animals such as monkeys, lions, tigers and snakes.

They are all separated by different cages.

The basic difference between them and the animals on earth is their size which is almost three times as large.

"Now then, I wonder if I can extract spiritual sources in your bodies." Qin Tian smiled faintly when he saw them.

He looked around to make sure no one was there before he walked over to a young monkey who looked very tame.

Although that young monkey's size is not very large, but its cultivation has probably almost broken through to the second layer of Spiritual Apprentice. Qin Tian chose the young monkey as his first try because it looked like it wouldn't attack if he did something to it. Of course, it was also because he believed the young monkey was still not smart enough to understand what was happening to its body when he was doing something to its body.

After arriving in front of the young monkey's cage, he sat down in a squatting position.

The young monkey looked at him with curious eyes but he only smiled in response.

He then spread his spiritual sense towards the monkey. Even though it had a higher cultivation than him, it was still not enough to stop his spiritual sense emanating from the Primordial God Body, his spiritual sense could easily enter the monkey's body.

The monkey still didn't move but it started looking at him with wary eyes.

When his spiritual sense enters its spiritual world, the monkey also watches over its spiritual world.

Within that monkey spiritual world, Qin Tian saw 8 spiritual sources.

The spiritual source is shaped like a diamond, and the stronger the spiritual source is, the darker it will be.

Seeing the spiritual sources within that monkey spiritual world, Qin Tian couldn't help but smile faintly.

He then enveloped the two spiritual sources of the monkey with his spiritual sense, after which, he then absorbed the two spiritual sources into his body.

He was able to do this quite easily as the monkey was still silent as two of its spiritual sources flew out of its spiritual world.

"Please stay quiet, little monkey." Qin Tian spoke in a soft voice.

After the two spiritual sources left the monkey's body, Qin Tian immediately activated his cultivation method to suck the two spiritual sources into his body.

He did not know how long it would take to absorb a spiritual source because it was not spiritual energy.

What made him curious was how much spiritual energy he could gather from a single spiritual source.

Even though one spiritual source was made of a combination of 100 spiritual energies, but he knew there was no way one spiritual source extracted could produce another 100 spiritual energies. It would have been fine if there were 50 spiritual energies left, but he guessed the amount would be less than that.

Since this was his first try, he chose to absorb one spiritual source first.

As soon as that spiritual source entered his body, his body immediately began extracting that spiritual source.

The speed at which his body extracting the spiritual source was actually faster than he had expected.

Within every second, he saw his spiritual energy statistic change at a rapid pace.

Cultivation: None / Spiritual Source: 0/1

Spiritual Energy: 50 (Note: 100 spiritual energies can be converted into 1 spiritual source. The speed at which spiritual energy converts to spiritual sources depends on the player's talent.)

Within five seconds, the spiritual energy in his body which was only 20 before had reached 50.

But after that, he discovered that the spiritual source had already been completely extracted.

Just as he was about to absorb the second spiritual source, the monkey that was previously still sitting suddenly jumped at him. If the cage wasn't in its way, the monkey would have landed on his face.

The monkey's eyes turned red and a few tears fell from its eyes.

"A, a, a, a," The monkey suddenly screamed.

Even though the monkey's scream wasn't very loud, it still shocked Qin Tian so much that he almost jumped.

"Shit." He immediately looked around at the other magical beasts. He could only regain his composure when he saw that the other magical beasts were still calm. The monkey may be too small to attract their attention.

But even though there was no commotion, Qin Tian finally chose to quit. He was worried that the monkey would become even more scared. Apart from that, he also felt pity when he saw the monkey's expression.

He immediately stood up and ran from there.

When he arrived at the door of the hall, the monkey stopped screaming. Qin Tian immediately stopped running and looked back one more time.

"I can't stop now. I only need 50 more spiritual energy to become a Spiritual Apprentice."

He then looked at the other magical beasts. He was looking for a magical beast that looked tame.

After a while, he saw the white mare that looked like it was still very young. Even though the white mare might not be as tame as the previous monkey, he was sure it was more tame than the other magical beasts.

He then walked over to the white mare.

"I have to do it fast." He said in a low voice as he arrived in front of the white mare.

Spiritual Energy: 60 (Note: 100 spiritual energies can be converted into 1 spiritual source. The speed at which spiritual energy converts to spiritual sources depends on the player's talent.)

The white mare turned out to be more difficult than he thought, it immediately went berserk after realizing something had happened to its body. In the end, Qin Tian only managed to get 10 spiritual energy from it.

After that, Qin Tian immediately ran from the hall because when the mare white went berserk, the other horses also panicked.

After exiting the hall, he immediately ran up the stairs before running back to his room.

He only needed 40 more spiritual energy, so he could act more relaxed.

The ship was definitely not an ordinary place, when he returned to his room, he found the spiritual energy in his room was replenished.

Seeing that, he decided to continue cultivating in that room.

He immediately started cultivation and gained 20 more spiritual energies.

Spiritual Energy: 80 (Note: 100 spiritual energies can be converted into 1 spiritual source. The speed at which spiritual energy converts to spiritual sources depends on the player's talent.)

"I just need twenty more." He said as he looked at his stats.

He then looked into his spiritual world which was gray in color. And he was immediately shocked when he saw what was in his spiritual world.

Spiritual energy is generally bright white, but the spiritual energy in the spiritual world is actually gray as well.

"Is that also primordial spiritual energy?"

Ding.

He suddenly received a message. It's still a message from Angela.

"Hey, where were you sent? I was sent to Fairy Heaven!"

Qin Tian was a little surprised when he saw Angela's message.

As the name suggests, Fairy Heaven is a heaven that is dominated by fairies. Most of the regions in that heaven were enormous forests. Apart from fairies, this heaven is also inhabited by other forest creatures such as dwarves, goblins, and many more.

It is said that it is the most beautiful heaven.

It's just that they are a little less welcoming to outsiders. The outsiders who come to that heaven can even be killed by them. Qin Tian himself had never gone to that heaven in his past life.

"Are you reincarnated as a fairy?" Qin Tian did not answer right away, on the contrary, he asked first.

"Yes," replied Angela.

"Good then." Qin Tian let out a sigh of relief.

He was worried that if Angela wasn't a fairy, her life there would definitely not be easy.

"I was sent to Nirvana Heaven, so we may not be able to meet for a while." He then answered Angela's first question.

"Humph, this game is really too broad and strange, I don't know how they made it. But have you seen it, the NPCs in this game are really too weird."

"I came along with several other players, one of the male players tried to seduce a female fairy with noble status."

"Do you know what happened after that? This is really absurd, the fairy suddenly got angry and asked the soldiers to catch the male player, and now he is locked in a prison."

Qin Tian didn't know what to say.

"Well, you'd better be careful that your character doesn't get killed." In the end, he could only say that.

While chatting with Angela, he waited for the spiritual energy in the room to replenish.

He gazed at the sea view beyond the ship and wondered when it would arrive on land. He also did not expect that he would be sent to a ship which limited his space.

"Mm."

He then stared at the bedroom door when he heard footsteps outside.

"Is that Yang Ming?"

Just as he was thinking, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open.

After that, a tall and muscular man walked into the room.

"Yang Ming."

Seeing the friend from his reincarnation, Qin Tian didn't know how to act. Yang Ming had treated his reincarnation very well during this time, whenever his reincarnation was bullied, Yang Ming would definitely fight to protect him. And now he's even taking him to find someone who can cure his ailments.

Even though Qin Tian had a lot of life experience, he knew that it was not easy to find a good friend like Yang Ming.

"Yang Ming, why did you come back early?" Qin Tian then asked. He acted like his reincarnation. Because their relationship was so close, his reincarnation was always relaxed when he talked to Yang Ming. According to his reincarnation memories, Yang Ming should have been gone much longer than that.

After entering the room, Yang Ming walked over to him. He smiled slightly before speaking. "I have good news, the disease in your body may be cured."

"Oh?" Qin Tian was a little surprised even though he didn't need that anymore.

"Is there an expert who can cure me?" Qin Tian asked.

"No," Yang Ming shook his head.

He then approached Qin Tian. He took several breaths before speaking to explain.

"Someone just offered a spiritual dragon fruit to do something. Spiritual dragon fruit can help the ninth layer of Spiritual Apprentice break through to the Spiritual Warrior realm without the slightest side effect. As long as you consume it, there is a 70% chance of your illness being cured."

"Are you?"

"Yes, I plan to accept that person's request." Yang Ming nodded.

"What request is that person asking?" Qin Tian asked. He started staring at Yang Ming with suspicious eyes.

He naturally knew what spiritual dragon fruit was. To people who are still in the realm of Spiritual Apprentice, it is definitely one of the most valuable treasures. How could someone offer it as a gift for something trivial.

Doubt flashed across Yang Ming's face when he heard Qin Tian's question. He looked like he wanted to speak but he couldn't open his mouth.

"Sigh." Qin Tian sighed. He then patted Yang Ming's muscular shoulder. "Brother Yang, I'm fine. Don't do something that will risk your life only for me."

"They said I would be fine. At most I would just get hurt." Yang Ming was finally able to answer.

"Can you tell what task they asked for?"

"Mmm. They asked me to be fishing bait to catch wolf fish."

'...' Qin Tian

He didn't know how to react after he heard Yang Ming's answer.

"Brother Yang." He then pretended to be angry. "I know that you're not very smart, but you can't be a fool. You know, the world of cultivation requires not only strength but also a mind."

"Do you know what wolf fish are? They are fish that like to eat human flesh. Do you really believe what they say?"

"But you? This may be your only chance to cure your illness."

"Stop," Qin Tian raised his hand to stop Yang Ming from continuing to speak.

"You?" Yang Ming looked surprised by Qin Tian's attitude.

Qin Tian ignored Yang Ming's surprise. He then stood up and looked towards the ocean.

He took a deep breath before speaking. "Brother Yang, my illness may no longer exist."

Qin Tian is not a cold-hearted person who would abandon a friend who helped him a lot even though it was only a friend from his reincarnation.

He originally wanted to continue pretending he still had a disease, but seeing Yang Ming's attitude of being ready to do something dangerous so that his disease could be cured, he knew he couldn't keep quiet and pretend.

Fortunately he was the one who had reincarnated to Qin Tian in this world, if it was another player, they might not mind taking advantage of an NPC for their own benefit.

Behind Qin Tian, Yang Ming was immediately stunned when he heard Qin Tian's words. He might not believe what Qin Tian said, but Qin Tian's attitude as he spoke made Yang Ming wonder if he was still the young man he knew.

"Don't you believe what I'm saying?" Qin Tian stared at Yang Ming's expression.

"What happened to me may not be a disease, but something good that I didn't understand before. And I started to understand a moment ago." Of course, he was only making excuses to trick Yang Ming.

"But." Yang Ming opened his mouth but he was immediately stunned when he saw the action Qin Tian was taking.

Qin Tian suddenly turned towards him and sent his fist towards his face.

Yang Ming who was already in the third layer of Spiritual Apprentice naturally didn't feel threatened at Qin Tian's sudden attack. In his eyes, Qin Tian's movements were still very slow. However, when he saw Qin Tian's movements, he realized that Qin Tian was not like a sick person anymore.

Bam...

Qin Tian's fist finally hit his face.

Even though it was still far from injuring him, he still felt a little bit of pain when he was hit by Qin Tian's fist.

"Do you feel it, my body is not weak anymore like before."

"You don't understand what happened to my body, but if you don't try harder, maybe from tomorrow our position will change."

"You may no longer be able to protect me and there is a possibility that you will be protected by me." Qin Tian said with a confident smile.

"I, i, i..." Yang Ming finally could not help but stuttered. Obviously he was still in shock at Qin Tian's change of attitude.

"Go! I know you left early for me. It wouldn't be good if you left the meeting held by your sect envoy." Qin Tian then patted his shoulder.

Qin Tian was starting to worry if the atmosphere would become even more dramatic as he saw Yang Ming's eyes have started to turn red. He looked like he was going to cry.

Even though Qin Tian valued friendship, he didn't want to calm a man who was crying.

After Yang Ming left, Qin Tian immediately sat down on the bed.

The spiritual energy in the room had already recovered before Yang Ming came. Now he only needed to cultivate there once more and he could become a Spiritual Apprentice.

"Dragon spiritual fruit, eh. I hope you will keep the fruit until I finish cultivating."

He may have appreciated those who were nice to him, but he was never a saint. Just like other cultivators, he too could behave beyond morality when it came to things that would increase his strength.

He then closed his eyes and began to absorb the spiritual energy around him into his body.

It only took twenty seconds before he opened his eyes again.

Spiritual Energy: 100 (Note: 100 spiritual energy can be converted into 1 spiritual source. The speed of converting spiritual energy to spiritual source depends on the player's talent.)

"Good, now I want to see how quickly the Primordial God Body converts 100 spiritual energies into a spiritual source."

Compared to absorbing spiritual energy, turning them into spiritual source was even more difficult.

"Legend has it that the Primordial God Body can instantly convert all the spiritual energy in the body into spiritual sources, I want to see if that is true."

Qin Tian actually didn't believe in the legend because it was completely beyond reason. Even the best Heavenly Body needs at least a few minutes to convert 100 spiritual energies into 1 spiritual source, but the legend of the Primordial God Body says that it can instantly convert all spiritual energy into spiritual sources. It wasn't just a hundred but all the spiritual energy in the body. Obviously there is a big difference between the two.

Qin Tian then closed his eyes, his consciousness entering his spiritual world.

Right now all of his spiritual energy was gathering in his spiritual world, and he then moved them to combine them all.

Advertisements

Qin Tian was still thinking about the legend of the Primordial God Body while he was doing that, but suddenly his eyes widened as he saw how the spiritual energy within his spiritual world was moving.

One of the things that makes it difficult to convert spiritual energy into a spiritual source is because when two spiritual energies are combined, there will be resistance from each of them. When trying to combine a hundred spiritual energies, their resistance was naturally much stronger. It will be the same for anyone regardless of whether they have heavenly bodies.

But at this time, Qin Tian found the spiritual energy within his spiritual world like a hundred splashes of water that fell on the same container. There was no resistance from them when they met, they immediately joined together like streams of water that had just met.

After they merged, they condensed immediately and that too was happening very quickly.

When Qin Tian looked at them one more time, the result of their fusion had already transformed into something that looked like a diamond, and it was also gray in color.

"Amazing! I just found out that cultivation can be this easy." Qin Tian smiled happily as he looked at his stats.

"And this power, I didn't expect a single spiritual source to produce such power." Qin Tian could feel his strength becoming extremely strong after he broke through to the realm of the Spiritual Apprentice.

He then stood up and released his fists into the air.

Busssss...

His fist which was an iron dragon fist caused the air to tremble as it slammed into the air.

In reality, the iron dragon fist technique wasn't that powerful, but because of the Primordial God Body, the strength of that technique had become on par with a top tier technique.

"Mm." He then turned his attention to the data on his body that was in the real world.

According to the data, there had suddenly been an unknown change in his body.

"What's going on, not even the most advanced capsule can determine what it is?" Qin Tian started to be confused.

"I have to get out first." Qin Tian immediately decided to get out of that world.

The button to exit that world was so clearly displayed on the virtual screen that Qin Tian never worried that he would be trapped forever in that world.

He then pressed the button. A warning appeared right after he pressed the button.

(Warning: Before you leave the game, please ensure the safety of your reincarnated body. When you leave the game, your body in this game will lose consciousness. If someone kills your body, you will be considered dead and your account will disappear.)

(Note: The system will contact you when your body is in danger, please make sure you always carry your smartphone with you.)

'...' Qin Tian

"I think rules like this prove that this world really is the real world. Otherwise, how could a game establish such rules." Qin Tian shook his head.

"I don't know if this place is really safe, but I have to get out first."

Qin Tian pressed the exit button once again.

After which, he heard a countdown sound.

When the count reached 0, his original body immediately regained consciousness.

"Oh my goddess." He didn't have time to think.

When he returned to his original body, he immediately jumped up in surprise.

It was something he didn't even expect.

It turned out that the strange change in his body was due to a spiritual energy suddenly appearing in his body. Even though it was only one spiritual energy, it was still very surprising because during his 17 years on earth, he had never once found the existence of spiritual energy.

Now he can even activate his spiritual sense and see the spiritual world that is in his stomach.

"How could this be, how could this be."

Even if the Sixteen Heaven Game really sent him to the sixteen heavens, his two bodies were still two different objects from each other. Of course, because they came from the same soul, the two bodies could still share strength with each other.

However, unless there was a certain path, there was no way the spiritual energy in his body that was in the sixteen heavens could be transferred to his body that was on earth.

"This is bad, what if this also happened to the others." Qin Tian started to worry.

He gained one spiritual energy when his body in sixteen heavens managed to condense a single spiritual source.

From that, he could easily deduce that the one spiritual source he had in the sixteen heavens would cause his body on earth to receive one spiritual energy.

One spiritual energy might be almost meaningless, but if the guess was right, it would only be a matter of time before one could gather a hundred spiritual energies and become a Spiritual Apprentice.

If that really happened, the earth would probably become a cultivation world as well.

Although Qin Tian always hoped that the earth had spiritual energy, but after living 17 years on earth, he actually prefers an earth without spiritual energy. Especially after he was sure that the sixteen heavens in the game Sixteen Heaven were real, he was even more unwilling to see earth become a cultivation world.

"I have to check on Angela." Qin Tian immediately thought of Angela.

He then came out of the capsule, after which, he immediately ran towards Angela's room.

While he was running, he sent a message to Angela via his smartphone.

"Have you become a Spiritual Apprentice?"

"Yes." Angela answered. "Luckily I have a heavenly body. You know, I see a lot of other players struggling just to become Spiritual Apprentices."

"Is there something?" She then asked.

"Can you get out of there for a moment, there's something I want to see from you." He had already entered Angela's room when he sent the message.

And now he was standing beside Angela's capsule.

Angela no longer replied to his messages, but moments later, Angela's capsule finally opened.

The blonde haired woman was wearing only a tight tank top and shorts as she lay inside the capsule.

Advertisements

In terms of beauty, Angela was definitely the prettiest of the three women in the villa. In reality, even on the entire planet earth Qin Tian felt like he had never seen a woman more beautiful than Angela.

Even though he had seen many beauties in his past, he still had to take a deep breath to calm himself down when he saw the current Angela.

Without noticing Angela's reaction, he then directed his palm towards Angela's stomach. The woman's stomach opened slightly because her clothes were too small, and Qin Tian then touched it directly to her stomach.

After that, he used his spiritual sense to look inside Angela's stomach.

"Mmm, there's nothing there."

Every living being basically has a spiritual world, but before they have spiritual energy, their spiritual world will be in a dormant state. Some people have defects in their spiritual world that prevent them from cultivating like Qin Tian's reincarnation in sixteen heavens did.

After sending his spiritual sense into Angela's body, Qin Tian could see Angela's spiritual world. However, even though Angela had already reached the realm of Spiritual Apprentice in sixteen heavens, Qin Tian did not find any spiritual energy in her spiritual world. Her spiritual world was also still in a dormant state.

"Did that only happen to me?" He wondered.

But he didn't have time to think. He immediately woke up from his reverie when he heard Angela's voice.

"Little brother, what are you doing?" Said Angela.

Qin Tian turned his gaze towards Angela and found an awkward expression on the woman's face. Her blue eyes stared at his hand that touched her stomach in astonishment.

Qin Tian knew the mistake he had done, he quickly pulled his hand away from Angela's stomach.

"Sorry sister, I can't explain it but I swear I have no ill intentions towards you." He spoke in a hasty tone.

He did not wait for Angela's reply. After speaking, he immediately turned around and ran from Angela's room.

"I will definitely explain in the future." Qin Tian shouted before he walked out of Angela's room door.

Advertisements

"Wait." He heard Angela scream but he didn't stop, he just kept running towards his room.

After arriving at his room, he immediately checked his body once again.

"There must be something that causes this body to gain spiritual energy. Since there is no spiritual energy on earth, it must come from sixteen heavens." He began to think about what caused the spiritual energy to appear in his body.

"Or, is it because I came from the sixteen heavens? My current soul is the soul of the sixteen heavens, when I came to earth, it must have made a path from the sixteen heavens to the earth."

"Unlike the others who are only connected through the Sixteen Heaven Game, I and the sixteen heavens are connected via another pathway which is the path made by my soul when I came to earth."

"The spiritual energy in this body may come from that path. I can't be sure now, but that is the only possible cause."

"But it would be really great if it only happened to me."

If he could truly cultivate on earth, he would no longer be a useless person on earth.

Qin Tian became even more impatient as he thought about that. He then went into the capsule once again.

When he opened his eyes once again, his consciousness had already transferred to the sixteen heavens.

"Erm, how much time has passed." He then looked at the clock on the virtual screen.

"Oh, nearly two hours have passed." Qin Tian was immediately taken aback when he looked at the clock. He came out around 8 in the morning, but now it's almost 10.

Even though he only came out for a few minutes, but the time difference on earth and in the sixteen heavens was really quite large. One hour on earth is equivalent to one day in sixteen heavens.

Qin Tian then looked around and let out a sigh of relief when he didn't notice any strange changes around him.

He then got off the bed and walked towards the door. Now he plans to search for cultivation resources to increase his cultivation.

"Spiritual dragon fruit, I hope it's still not gone."

After exiting the room, he walked to the right side of the hallway.

The goal this time was the main deck of the ship because that was a gathering place for a lot of people.

After walking about 50 meters down the hallway, he saw a ladder which was quite large and it led directly to the main deck of the ship.

He met several people along the way, and from them he heard a few things about the people Yang Ming had said.

They are said to be getting ready to fish and are looking for someone to act as bait.

Qin Tian also heard them talking about those people's backgrounds. It turned out that they were disciples from quite a large sect in the Shark God continent. They were on that ship because they followed their sect envoys.

The people who were speaking also wanted to go watch so Qin Tian ended up following them behind.

Not long after, he finally arrived at the top of the stairs.

He finally saw the deck of the ship.

The deck of the boat was huge and there were a lot of people there. It is also divided into several areas.

On the edge of the deck of the ship, he saw a large crowd.

The people he had been following walked towards the crowd while he looked around first for a while before he headed there as well.

When he got behind the crowd, he didn't advance any further. The crowd was extremely dense, and if he was to progress, he would definitely have to push them.

Most of the people in the crowd had higher cultivations than Yang Ming.

Some of them got into a fight just because they were shoving each other. If he who looks sick also pushes each other, they might beat him up right away.

Fortunately now he can spread his spiritual senses without being detected by anyone. From behind, he was casually spreading his spiritual senses to see what was happening ahead.

In front of the crowd, he saw a group of youths dressed in white. Just from their appearance, it could be concluded that they were different from the people in the crowd.

Among the young men dressed in white, he saw a young man sitting casually on a beach chair.

The youth seemed to be smiling as he stared at the people in the crowd. Of course, it wasn't a friendly smile, but a sneer.

Qin Tian didn't care about the young man, but he was attracted to the black box the young man was holding.

He then directed his spiritual sense into the black box. The black box was protected by a formation, but that couldn't hinder his spiritual sense.

When his spiritual sense entered the black box, his eyes immediately sparkled.

Inside the box he saw a red fruit with a few green leaves on the skin. And from that fruit, he could feel a very dense spiritual energy.

"That fruit contains at least five thousand spiritual energy. If I absorb them all, I can condense 50 spiritual sources. That's enough to make me reach the fifth layer of Spiritual Apprentice." Thought Qin Tian.

Advertisements

"I have to wait a moment." Qin Tian said as he saw the young man standing up from his chair.

The young man looked at the crowd while showing the black box in his hand. "So who will do it, and this spiritual dragon fruit will be yours." He spoke in a low voice but his voice was clearly heard in the ears of the people.

"I guarantee you won't die. Even if you get hurt, I will give you a healing pill to heal your wounds. All you need to do is stay on the fishing hook for a while until the wolf fish appears."

"Isn't that very easy. Just so you know, there isn't a job this easy on the Shark God continent."

"As long as you have this spiritual dragon fruit, you can increase your cultivation drastically, and that's enough to make your life easier when you arrive at the continent."

The young man's words made people's eyes sparkle. Greed filled their faces as they stared at the black box in the young man's hand.

But even though the gift that the young man offered was truly extraordinary, none of the people in the crowd had dared to come forward yet.

Thinking that they had to stay on the fishing hook was enough to make most of them tremble.

Who knows how many wild beasts in the sea, maybe before the wolf fish appear, they will be eaten by other fish first.

"Can you open the box? I want to see it first." Someone suddenly came forward.

It was a skinny young man in messy clothes. His cultivation was quite good, he was already at the fifth layer of Spiritual Apprentice, but he was clearly a poor man.

Hearing the thin youth's words, the young man who was holding the black box then looked at the skinny young man.

He narrowed his eyes for a moment but no one noticed it except for Qin Tian who was observing him with a spiritual sense.

"Okay." The young man then nodded.

"But opening this box causes the spiritual dragon fruit's spiritual energy to be scattered, so I'll only open it for a moment. So," he then looked at everyone in the crowd. "All of you should take a good look at it."

Advertisements

He then put his other hand on top of the box. "Get ready." He said in a low voice.

After which, he pulled the top of the box upwards, immediately the spiritual dragon fruit inside the box was revealed before people's eyes.

Click...

He closed the box once again.

There is clearly a difference between hearing and seeing things in person. Even though they only saw him briefly, it was enough to dispel some people's rationality. In an instant, several people immediately raised their hands.

"Me, me, I'll do it." They started screaming. Each of them who shouted stepped forward.

Behind them, Qin Tian immediately showed a happy smile as the box closed.

"This is the time." He said in a low voice.

After which, he immediately absorbed the spiritual energy that the fruit contained.

His empty spiritual energy quickly filled up.

His speed in absorbing spiritual energy was even faster than before. Even though it hasn't reached 2 spiritual energy in one second, but he managed to absorb 1 spiritual energy in less than a second. He can probably absorb 3 spiritual energies in two seconds.

Of course, the higher one's cultivation, the faster one would absorb spiritual energy.

Up ahead, even though there were many who volunteered, the skinny youth who spoke earlier still looked doubtful. And he finally spoke once again.

"I also don't mind accepting your request, but what is the guarantee that you will hand over that spiritual dragon fruit to me after I do what you ask?" He asked. And that question made the enthusiastic people shut their mouths at once.

They then looked at the young man holding the box with questioning eyes.

After that, they also started asking questions.

"That's right, what if you don't hand it over after I've done what you asked."

"This is a dangerous task, but if you want, you can take your word back. Neither of us can do anything about it if you do that."

"At least there's a guarantee you didn't trick us."

"No, no, you will get nothing." Qin Tian who was behind couldn't help smiling when he heard their words.

Although it might take him some time to absorb all of the spiritual energy in the dragon fruit, fishing for wolf fish also took quite a bit of time. The wolf fish is a vicious fish, but it's also pretty clever. It won't just appear just because it sees its favorite prey.

The young man holding the box looked confused when he heard the question being asked of him.

But some of his followers immediately replied.

"Kid, are you saying that young master Yi is a fraud?"

"Do you know the status that young master Yi has? Why should he fool small midfielders like you?"

They stared at the skinny young man with angry expressions.

Finally, there was a heated debate between them, but they could not find a solution that was acceptable to both parties.

Upon hearing their arguing, Qin Tian finally knew that young master Yi's full name. His name is Yi Shi.

But after a while, a group of people suddenly came to the place. This group of people who had just arrived was also full of momentum.

The white robed youth and the people in the crowd immediately stopped talking when that group of people came.

"Mm." Upon seeing their arrival, even Qin Tian narrowed his eyes.

They immediately walked forward, and after that, they were lined up to the side, then a young man who looked just 12 years old appeared in their midst.

The young man was wearing a pure white robe, his face still looked cute but he looked very dignified.

But what made Qin Tian startled was because as he stared at the young man, a virtual screen suddenly appeared above the young man's head.

(Nickname: Prince_Eagles)

"Another player!" Qin Tian immediately realized the young man's identity.

"And he has a heavenly body." Qin Tian was even more shocked.

The existence of a heavenly body was extremely hard to sense, even Paragon level experts couldn't sense its existence sometimes. Qin Tian guessed it was because of his Primordial God Body that he could feel the existence of that young man's heavenly body.

"Prince_Eagles huh! I've never heard of this nickname among famous gamers!" "But since he can afford a Heavenly body, he must be very rich."

"It's just, is he really a 12 year old kid in the real world?" He wondered.

He suspected that the game system had its players reincarnated in the body of someone similar to their age on earth.

After that 12 year old youth appeared, the people in the crowd stared at him in confusion.

But the white robed youths even Yi Shi himself suddenly cupped their fists towards the young man.

"Greetings Prince Xue." They then greeted him simultaneously.

Wow.

"A prince. That little boy really is lucky to be reincarnated as a prince." Qin Tian was also shocked when he heard Yi Shi and the others' words.

To be called a prince, one must at least be the main descendant of a kingdom.

A kingdom in sixteen heavens is definitely not a small faction. They should at least have a strong Paragon as the ancestor.

They usually had a very large territory and many sects resided within their territory.

As for the Empire, it was something only an Emperor could establish. They are usually called the Heavenly Empire.

In Qin Tian's memories, there was no Heavenly Empire in the Dead Sea Territory, only a few Imperial sects there, so he concluded that that boy was from a Kingdom.

After responding to Yi Shi and the others' greetings, Prince Xue then spoke.

"Fishing the wolf fish huh, it seems very fun. This prince also wants to watch. They say that wolf fish meat is the most delicious among fish meat."

He then looked at the people in the crowd. "Rest assured, with this prince watching, Yi Shi will definitely not dare break his promise." He said with a confident expression.

"Right, Yi Shi?" He then looked at Yi Shi once again.

Advertisements

Qin Tian who was observing Yi Shi with a spiritual sense could see the twitch in his face when he heard Prince Xue's words. He was clearly trying to hide his expression by quickly answering.

"Of course, of course." He nodded three times as he answered.

Prince Xue smiled faintly as he saw Yi Shi's expression. "Well, you can choose people now." He says.

He then sat down on the beach chairs provided by his followers.

Yi Shi in the end chose the previous skinny young man to serve as bait.

The skinny youth's name was Li Baiyi.

Yi Shi then took out a fishing rod which was clearly a spiritual treasure.

The shape of the fishing rod was very similar to the usual fishing rod. It's just that, the hook from the fishing rod is actually almost as big as a human body.

The hook was then hooked onto Li Baiyi's clothes.

"Are you ready?" Yi Shi asked.

"You will be thrown up to 2 kilometers from this ship, you can retreat now if you are not sure."

"You can do it now. I'm not afraid, I've experienced things that are more dangerous than this." Li Baiyi replied without the slightest trace of fear.

"Hmph." Yi Shi snorted.

After which, he immediately swung the fishing rod in his hand.

Li Baiyi didn't even have time to calm his expression and his body which was caught on the fishing hook was immediately thrown into the distance. But that man's mentality was indeed extraordinary as he really didn't scream as his body was thrown over the sea.

At that place, Prince Xue was the only one who looked very surprised. As a resident of the earth, such a scene was clearly too much for him.

As for Qin Tian, he only chuckled softly. In sixteen heavens, poor people can do anything to obtain cultivation resources. Even among the Heavenly Emperors, many have shameful pasts.

Splash...

Not long after, Li Baiyi finally fell about 2 kilometers from the ship.

After he fell, he was only left to float on the sea while the ship that continued to move dragged his body.

Qin Tian no longer paid attention to him after that, he started cultivating again. He also adjusted his body position so Prince Xue couldn't find him.

He was planning to meet that Prince Xue later, but for now he wanted to gather spiritual energy first.

Cultivation: Spiritual Apprentice first layer / Spiritual Source: 1/10

Spiritual Energy: 1000 (Note: 100 spiritual energies can be converted into 1 spiritual source. The speed at which spiritual energy converts to spiritual sources depends on the player's talent.)

After about 10 minutes, he had managed to gather 1000 spiritual energy and they continued to increase very rapidly. But Qin Tian only allowed these spiritual energies to accumulate in his spiritual world, he did not condense them right away.

1500

2000

3000

His spiritual energy continued to rise. If he condensed them now, he could already break through to the third layer of Spiritual Apprentice.

3500

4000

As his spiritual energy reached 4000, Qin Tian then opened his eyes when he heard the commotion around him.

"It has appeared." People talking.

As Qin Tian gazed towards the sea, he saw that the seawater within a radius of several tens of meters around Li Baiyi suddenly churned.

After which, he saw the shadow of an enormous fish appear under the turbulent sea water.

The length of the fish is about 50 meters. The shape of the fish is no different from fish in general, but the head of the fish looks similar to the head of a wolf.

When the fish appeared, the people on board could feel its aura even though it was very far from them.

"This aura, that fish's strength is at least on par with a seventh layer Spiritual Warrior." Said Qin Tian in a low voice.

He was once a Paragon, his knowledge naturally more than most people.

After the fish's shadow appeared, it immediately moved towards Li Baiyi.

The previous Li Baiyi didn't show the slightest bit of fear immediately panicked when the fish appeared. He immediately swam toward the boat shouting, "hurry, hurry save me."

Yi Shi on the other hand looked to the side and spoke in a low voice. "Uncle Lin." He says.

Right after he spoke, the figure of an old man with a thick beard suddenly appeared beside him. But the old man's body was not actually a fleshly body, but a spiritual body condensed from spiritual energy.

The appearance of the old man immediately shocked people because even though the old man's body was only a spiritual body, it actually exuded an aura that made people feel depressed. The old man's aura was even more terrifying than that wolffish aura.

"This old man's spiritual body strength is at least equivalent to that of an early stage spiritual master." Said Qin Tian as he looked at the old man.

There are eight realms of cultivation under the heavenly emperor. They are Spiritual Apprentice, Spiritual Warrior, Spiritual Master, Spiritual Lord, Sovereign, Saint, Ancient Saint, and Paragon.

Spiritual Apprentices and Spiritual Masters are divided into nine layers while the rest apart from Ancient Saint and Paragon are divided into three stages.

The Paragon Realm had no stages because their strength was determined by their Dao and their comprehending of heavenly laws.

Ordinary Paragons could generally live up to three eras as long as they weren't killed, but in sixteen heavens there were too many treasures that could prolong life. Some of the very strong Paragons can even live longer.

After living for a long time, the strength of some of them would normally grow to the point where they could slaughter a group of ordinary Paragons. They were usually called Ancient Gods.

Each of the ancient gods must have been a brilliant figure in their youth. Most of them were supreme geniuses who were competing for Heaven's Will. They only lost so they couldn't become Heavenly Emperors.

Among those Ancient Gods, there were even some who could fight against the Emperor. When they appear, they can terrify the whole of heaven.

Advertisements

Even in his past, Qin Tian didn't dare to provoke those ancient gods. Apart from the Emperor who possessed Heaven's Will, no one in the sixteen heavens dared to provoke them.

(I'll be writing three chapters a day if this makes it into the top 15 of new novels next week.

The story of this novel is quite relaxed, but it will be full of legendary characters, mysterious places, and mysterious ancient legends.

My biggest goal of this novel is so that readers can immerse themselves and feel the sensation of the majestic and mysterious world of xianxia.)

Shua...

The old man called Uncle Lin immediately jumped towards the sea after he appeared. Of course, he didn't fall into the sea, on the contrary, he stepped on the air.

Once a person reaches the realm of spiritual masters, they can fly through the air. Some gifted spiritual warriors can do it too.

Whooss...

That Uncle Lin flew quickly towards the shadow of the fish that was under the sea.

But even though he was extremely fast, he clearly couldn't reach Li Baiyi in time.

Several water balls suddenly shot out from under the sea towards Li Baiyi who was swimming towards the ship.

"Watch out!" The people on the boat shouted to warn him.

Li Baiyi was stunned by their warning, but he didn't have time to react. One of the water balls then hit his body.

It was not known how hard the water ball was, but the moment he was hit by it, Li Baiyi's body was immediately thrown deep into the air.

Advertisements

He fell about 1.5 kilometers away.

Old man Lin then waved his hand towards Li Baiyi's body, immediately after that a gust of wind appeared, and it blew Li Baiyi's body towards the ship. The skinny man then fell right in front of the crowd.

People were wondering how the water ball could have sent Li Baiyi so far, but after seeing the state of Li Baiyi's body, they finally realized that the water ball might be made of water but it must be much harder than a rock.

The current state of Li Baiyi's body looked soft like a snake's body. They didn't need to touch Li Baiyi's body to know how many bones inside his body were crushed. Maybe he didn't even have a bone anymore at this point.

He coughed up blood several times before losing consciousness.

Whooss...

People immediately looked away from Li Baiyi as they felt a gust of wind coming from the sea.

As they stared out at the sea once again, they found that Uncle Lin had arrived right above the fish.

A spear made of spiritual energy appeared in his hand, after which, he then threw the spear towards the fish that was under the sea.

Shua...

The spear shot out very fast.

It pierced the air before breaking through the sea water. A large vortex then appeared in the seawater as the spear passed. And that vortex made the scene beneath the sea can be seen more clearly.

The spear caused the sea water to split open.

Ding...

(Spear throwing technique.)

High level mortal technique

Price: 1000 spiritual energy

"Do you want to buy it?"

Qin Tian suddenly got a notification from the game system when he saw the spear that was thrown by Uncle Lin.

"So that's one way of getting a martial arts technique." Said Qin Tian. He was not that surprised because such things happened in a lot of games.

Previously he had always wondered how to obtain cultivation techniques and martial techniques in this world other than by obtaining them through missions. Now he knew that he could buy the technique he saw.

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages to such a system.

The advantages are; obtaining the technique was very difficult but they could afford it when they saw the technique displayed before their very eyes.

But the downsides are also very clear. It's like when you get a treasure but you still have to buy it to own it.

"But why doesn't the system offer the techniques in my memory?" Qin Tian wondered.

"Does that only apply to the techniques I see with my eyes."

There were too many things about the game system that he didn't understand. The problem was that the game system didn't provide him with complete information. It only provides information when it is needed.

Qin Tian shook his head. "But I won't use 1000 spiritual energy for a mere high level mortal technique."

There are five levels of martial techniques in sixteen heavens. It starts with mortal techniques, then earth techniques, spirit, saint, and finally the heavenly martial techniques created by the Heavenly Emperor.

For mortal level techniques, Qin Tian was too lazy to study them. Even spirit techniques, he didn't feel too impressed. Only saint techniques and heavenly techniques could really interest him.

As for techniques like the Longevity Scripture and the Iron Dragon Fist, they were of no rank because their origins and their strength were still unclear.

Each technique level basically had their own aura, but the Longevity Scripture and the Iron Dragon Fist, their aura was erratic, it was depending on who was using them.

People usually refer to such techniques as mysterious techniques.

Whooss...

The wolf fish that was under the sea could finally be seen when the spear that was thrown by Uncle Lin split the seawater.

When it saw the spear, the fish looked panicked. The power of the spear clearly terrified it.

The fish finally realized that it was being framed. There was a formation on the ship that made it invisible from the outside. Otherwise, the wolf fish would not have come when it saw Li Baiyi swimming in the sea.

Roar...

The wolf fish then roared towards Uncle Lin's spear, after which, hundreds of water balls shot out from its huge mouth.

But when the water balls met Uncle Lin's spear, they burst immediately without being able to restrain the spear's movement.

Before it could even close its mouth, the spear finally arrived before its mouth which was wide open.

Whooss...

The spear then entered its mouth, and it went straight into its stomach.

Not long after, the spear pierced its tail.

After the spear passed through the fish's entire body, people suddenly saw a very long rope tied to the back of the spear. And the end of the rope was currently held by Uncle Lin's hand who was flying in the air.

Uncle Lin then pulled the rope, causing the spear that had just pierced the fish's body to bounce back.

The spear then fell in front of the fish's mouth.

The movement of the spear had clearly been arranged by Uncle Lin because the spear immediately wrapped around the rope that was left in front of the fish's mouth.

In an instant, the fish was completely entangled by the rope.

Uncle Lin then pulled on the rope he was holding, and it caused the body of the wolf fish that was under the sea to slam towards him.

When the wolf fish arrived in front of him, Uncle Lin then sent his fist towards the fish's body.

Compared to the size of the fish's body, Uncle Lin looked like an ant in front of an elephant. But the moment his fist landed on the fish's body, it immediately caused the fish's body to bend and twist. The fish's eye lost its color immediately after that.

"Huh." Qin Tian was already expecting such an outcome. He immediately stopped paying attention to uncle Lin as the wolf fish closed its eyes. The wolf fish wasn't dead yet but it couldn't do anything else. It can only wait to be cut. Its flesh will be eaten while its spiritual core will be used for cultivation.

Qin Tian returned to focus on cultivation, at this time he had already absorbed around 4500 spiritual energy.

The spiritual dragon fruit that was in the box in Yi Shi's hand had started to rot. After all the spiritual energy contained in the fruit is used up, it will completely become rotten fruit.

Qin Tian was really looking forward to Yi Shi's reaction as he opened the box once again.

Absorbing other people's resources without the person noticing.

Such an experience is something that even the Heavenly Emperor may never experience.

Uncle Lin then returned to the ship. He tied the wolffish's body to the hull of the ship and let the ship tug it.

The formation covering the ship also covered the wolf fish's body so that the fish's body could no longer be seen from the outside.

Of course, it would not be a good thing if the fish's body was found by other fish. If it was found by a group of wolf fish, it might be attacked by them.

By the time Uncle Lin returned to the ship, Qin Tian had finally managed to absorb all the spiritual energy contained in the spiritual dragon fruit.

Looking at his stats, Qin Tian showed a satisfied smile.

"I'll condense them later." He said to himself.

He then observed Yi Shi who was welcoming Uncle Lin.

"Ha-ha-ha, thank you Uncle Lin for helping." He says.

"It's just a little thing." Uncle Lin replied.

He then nodded towards Prince Xue who was still sitting on the chair.

After that, the old man disappeared again.

At the same time, Prince Xue stood up from his chair.

"It's really too short, but I have to admit that it's a lot of fun." He says.

Yi Shi, on the other hand quickly turned towards Prince Xue.

"Hahahaha, I'm glad you enjoyed the show. If you want to enjoy the wolf fish meat dish, you can wait a little."

"Sure." The little prince replied.

He then looked at Li Baiyi who was still lying in front of the crowd.

"But you may have to take care of the man first. Since I promise to guarantee, I naturally have to make sure he gets the results of his work."

Yi Shi's face twitched slightly but he still nodded his head. "As the prince wants." He says.

He then looked at his followers and directed them with a gesture of his hand.

One of his followers who looked like an alchemist then stepped closer to Li Baiyi.

He crouched down in front of Li Baiyi, and he then placed one of his hands on Li Baiyi's thin chest. His hand that touched Li Baiyi's chest then emitted a green light that emitted a life aura.

After that, his other hand then took out a green pill. The pill also emitted a life aura, and he popped the pill into Li Baiyi's mouth.

Li Baiyi's body suddenly trembled several times, but after that people saw that the wounds on Li Baiyi's body were recovering very quickly.

About ten minutes later, Li Baiyi's eyes that were tightly closed finally opened again. He was able to sit up straight away after that even though he still coughed a few times.

After he sat down, he immediately looked at Yi Shi. "Hand over the box now." He said aloud. His tone also sounded quite harsh.

His actions stunned people.

They didn't expect that the skinny man would dare to show his anger when he spoke.

"Hmph." Yi Shi snorted. If it weren't for Prince Xue standing beside him, he would probably have hit Li Baiyi's head at that instant. He then threw the box in his hand towards Li Baiyi.

Only after receiving the box did Li Baiyi calm down.

Staring at the box that was now in his hand, Li Baiyi spoke in a low voice so that no one could hear his voice except for Qin Tian, who was observing him with spiritual sense.

"This shame will become a symbol of my struggle when I become Heavenly Emperor later." Those were the words he said.

Qin Tian's mouth couldn't help but twitch when he heard what the skinny man had said. He had to refrain from laughing.

But even though he almost laughed, he didn't dare underestimate that man's determination.

Sometimes someone with determination is more terrifying than those with talent. It could be seen from the number of heavenly emperors who were born without talent and background.

As people say, the Dao is infinite and it can change everything.

"But if I can't become a heavenly emperor with this primordial god's body, I'd better just die." Said Qin Tian as he looked at his body.

The reason why being a Heavenly Emperor is so difficult is because there is only one Heaven's Will that appears per era, but at the same time there are many geniuses fighting over it.

As victors, every Heavenly Emperor could basically think of themselves as the protagonists of their era.

Unfortunately Qin Tian didn't have the talent to write novels, otherwise he would have already created a novel that told each one of their stories.

After Li Baiyi spoke, he then opened the box in his hand. He opened the box slowly. And when he opened the box, he purposely aimed the open portion of the box towards the crowd. His intentions were clearly visible in the eyes of the people.

But when the box was fully opened, what he received weren't the envious glances from the people. Instead, people widened their eyes when they saw what was inside the box.

Of course, Li Baiyi was the most shocked of them all. He jumped immediately after he opened the box.

"What the hell." He screamed

Yi Shi previously immediately took his eyes off Li Baiyi after he threw the box, but when he heard Li Baiyi's shout, he shifted his gaze once again.

Advertisements

Just like the others, his eyes also widened as he looked at the box in Li Baiyi's hand.

The dragon fruit that was previously filled with spiritual aura no longer gave off a spiritual aura, and it had even rotted like stale food.

"Hmm." Qin Tian smiled as he shook his head. After which, he immediately turned around and left from there. He just wanted to see their reactions, he wasn't interested in seeing how they would solve their problems.

But because of Prince Xue, Yi Shi would probably give Li Baiyi another gift.

When he saw how respectful Yi Shi was when he spoke to Prince Xue, and even Uncle Lin nodded before he left, he guessed that the entire sect on the ship was probably in the territory of Prince Xue's kingdom.

"Damn, I almost died, but you only gave me rotten fruit."

Li Baiyi's shout echoed loudly on top of the ship, even Qin Tian who had already descended the stairs could hear his scream.

Qin Tian could only smile wryly. He felt a little guilty about having to sacrifice Li Baiyi who had nothing to do with him.

He then returned to Yang Ming's room. After entering the room, he immediately sat on the bed.

Now he couldn't wait to increase his cultivation.

"I want to see if condensing 1000 spiritual energy is still the same as when I condensed 100 spiritual energy." He spoke in a low voice.

He observed the spiritual energy in his body and he then tried to condense a thousand of them.

"Erm..." But only a moment before he showed an expression of amazement.

It was still the same as before, even when he tried to condense a thousand spiritual energies, they still merged very easily.

After that, he saw 10 new spiritual sources forming in his spiritual world.

"Congratulations on breaking through to the second layer of Spiritual Apprentice. You obtained one earth grade spiritual pill." He then heard a system sound.

After that he saw a milky white colored pill appear in his inventory.

The use of spiritual pills is to restore the condition of spiritual sources after their spiritual energy is depleted. The pill was also divided into five levels.

And the earth grade spiritual pill he was getting right now, it was basically a pill for experts in the realm of spiritual masters and spiritual lords.

"What a generous gift." Said Qin Tian as he looked at the pill.

With his current cultivation, if he ran out of spiritual energy, he might be able to recover his spiritual energy by eating one-tenth of the pill.

"Now is the time to break through to the fifth layer."

Qin Tian immediately condensed his spiritual energy once again, and this time he condensed 4,000 spiritual energies at once.

After that, 40 spiritual sources appeared in his spiritual world.

Now he has 51 spiritual sources which means he is already at the fifth layer of Spiritual Apprentice.

The stats also changed once again.

Spiritual Energy: 31 (Note: 100 spiritual energies can be converted into 1 spiritual source. The speed at which spiritual energy converts to spiritual sources depends on the player's talent.)

What satisfied him the most was the increased ability of the Longevity Scripture. Now it can help him absorb 3 spiritual energies in 1 second. Qin Tian did not expect a cultivation technique that was ignored by many geniuses could become so extraordinary when it was used by him.

"Congratulations on breaking through to the third layer of Spiritual Apprentice. You obtained one earth grade nirvana pill." He heard the system sound once again.

"Congratulations on breaking through to the fourth layer of Spiritual Apprentice. You have obtained one earth grade spiritual pill."

"Congratulations on breaking through to the fifth layer of Spiritual Apprentice. You obtained one earth grade nirvana pill."

"Oh," Qin Tian was shocked as he looked at the red colored pill that had appeared in his inventory.

The use of nirvana pills was to heal wounds on a cultivator's body, and it was the best at healing wounds.

"But even though my cultivation is very fast, I still lack many techniques." Qin Tian sighed. If he had found out, he might have asked his aunt to buy some of the emperor's scriptures for him.

"But," he then looked at the palm of his hand. At the moment his palms were emitting gray spiritual energy.

"This energy is truly too strong. Even without technique, there might not be any power that can compete with this energy."

After saying that, he then snapped his fingers.

The speck of energy in his hand then flew forward.

The moment that speck of energy left his hand, the space around that speck of energy instantly trembled slightly.

"Is this the legendary primordial energy?" He wondered. "It is said that it is the initial energy of the universe."

Buk. Buk. Buk.

Suddenly he heard footsteps from outside the door.

"Yang Ming." Qin Tian could tell right away that it was Yang Ming. After his cultivation increased, his senses also sharply improved. Without even looking, he could sense and recognize someone several tens of meters away from him.

He immediately pulled the spiritual energy in his palm back into his body, and he then suppressed his aura so that he looked like an ordinary person. One of the things Qin Tian discovered from the Primordial God Body was the body's ability to hide aura.

Since he was once a Paragon, he knew that even a Paragon would not be able to sense his cultivation if he chose to hide it.

Yang Ming then opened the door and entered the room. When he looked at Yang Ming, he found the man's face looked happy.

"Brother Qin, I have begged the sect envoys to accept you too. And the envoy said he could accept you as long as you could truly cultivate." Yang Ming spoke in an enthusiastic tone.

Advertisements

"Is it true?" Qin Tian was surprised by what Yang Ming said. He then pretended to be enthusiastic. But in his heart he thought. "I don't know how weak this sect is that they can take disciples for granted."

He originally wanted to meet Prince Xue and follow him to his kingdom, but now he's changed his mind.

It wasn't because he couldn't leave Yang Ming, but because he was still too weak.

With his current strength, going to the kingdom would only make himself a joke in the eyes of the people.

But even though he didn't plan on going to the kingdom for now, he still planned to meet Prince Xue. He, however, was not the solitary type of man. Making friends with other great people was something he used to do.

Qin Tian then chatted with Yang Ming. He asked Yang Ming a few things about their destination.

His reincarnation still didn't know much since he boarded the ship, and Yang Ming himself only learned a few things after hearing the explanation from his sect envoy.

According to Yang Ming, all of the sects that were on the ship were from the territory of the Xue kingdom. It was a very powerful Kingdom in the God Shark continent. And the ancestor of that kingdom is said to be an elder of the Giant Bamboo sect.

Qin Tian had never heard of the Xue kingdom but he knew the Giant Bamboo sect. It was an Imperial sect founded by the Ancient Bamboo Emperor.

As the name suggests, the Ancient Bamboo Emperor is a Demon born from a bamboo.

Qin Tian didn't know much about the Ancient Bamboo Emperor because he was an emperor born in the early eras of the sixteen heavens, and he wasn't the emperor with many brilliant stories either.

He had only heard that he was from Demon Heaven, but he ended up moving to Nirvana Heaven.

Nor did he know much about the Giant Bamboo sect. One of the few that he knew was that the sect was said to have an ancient bamboo forest that was taken by the Ancient Bamboo Emperor from the demon heaven. The Ancient Bamboo Emperor himself is said to be born from that bamboo forest.

Even though the sect had never produced another emperor, they still produced powerful paragons in every era so that they can endure until now. And most of the paragons were also born from that ancient bamboo forest.

As for the sect to which Yang Ming joined, it was called the Split Mountain sect.

Advertisements

About a few hours later, suddenly a news spread throughout the ship. It was news about Prince Xue wanting to hold a banquet.

The news said that Prince Xue invited everyone on the ship. No matter what their identity was, they were allowed to come to the banquet.

It was said that he had even bought the wolf fish that Yi Shi had caught to serve at the banquet.

"Throw a banquet huh!"

"Looks like this little brat wants to gather all the players on this ship." Qin Tian could immediately guess the little prince's purpose from holding the banquet.

"This is also a good opportunity for me." He nodded.

Apart from meeting the little prince, Qin Tian wanted to use the banquet to increase his cultivation.

A banquet held by a prince would naturally be attended by many top characters like Yi Shi, and they obviously had a lot of cultivation resources in their bodies. He planned to infiltrate their storage ring and absorb the cultivation resources they had.

"Brother Qin, let's go to that banquet! I really want to taste the wolf fish meat. I also want to see that royal prince." Yang Ming immediately invited him excitedly after he heard the news.

"Okay." Qin Tian nodded with a calm expression.

After that, they then left the room, and they went straight to the deck of the ship.

But the banquet was not held on the deck of the ship, instead, it was held in the main hall of the ship. In order to go there, Qin Tian and Yang Ming had to go through the deck of the ship.

While they were on their way, Yang Ming suddenly pulled him towards a group of men and women.

"Brother Qin, they are the ones who will join the Split Mountain sect." Yang Ming said while pointing at those people.

Qin Tian then looked at them and found that they were not very different from Yang Ming. Just from the clothes they wore and their attitude, he could tell that they were also people with completely no background. And they all only have the cultivation of the Spiritual Apprentice third layer.

But among them, there was one man who looked a little different. Even though his cultivation was the same as the people beside him, he was wearing a white silk robe which made him stand out very much in the group. But what stood out the most about him was his expression that looked cynical as he stared at the people beside him.

From the gesture of his body, he looked like he was uncomfortable with the people beside him.

When Qin Tian and Yang Ming arrived before them, several of them immediately greeted them with friendly expressions.

"Yang Ming, you came too!" A short man with a hooked nose spoke.

"Well," Yang Ming replied.

He then pulled Qin Tian forward. "Let me introduce you!, this is my brother I talked about earlier. His name is Qin Tian. How, he looks great right?" He said in a high tone. He looked proud as he introduced Qin Tian to them.

"Wow. He sure has beautiful hair and eyes." Several girls spoke immediately after Yang Ming said his name. They looked him up and down as if they were staring at a rare animal.

"His body is very thin, but I think he would be very handsome if he dressed up."

"Hahaha, you're really lucky bro, girls obviously like you a lot. I'm sure none of them will reject you if you propose to them." The men also spoke in friendly tones.

'...' Qin Tian

But Qin Tian is very satisfied with their friendly attitude. They were completely different from the people he had known in his past life.

"But," he then looked at the young man in the white robe.

Unlike the others who were friendly, the man looked at him with an expression of disgust.

Qin Tian felt funny when he saw the man's expression. It might be natural for a top character like Yi Shi to look at him with an expression of disgust, but that man, apart from his slightly nicer outfit, he was basically no different from Yang Ming and the others.

"Someone who hasn't even become a Spiritual Apprentice wants to join the sect, this is a complete joke." He then spoke.

"Chu Zhen, what are you saying? Are you insulting my brother?" Yang Ming was immediately furious when he heard Chu Zhen's words.

Not only him, the others also showed displeasure on their faces.

"Chu Zhen, why are you always being so arrogant? Do you think you're great just because you come from a rich family? But didn't you end up joining the same sect as us. And your cultivation is also still in the third layer, you are no different from us." Said the short man who first greeted Yang Ming.

"That's right. What qualifications do you have that you can look down on us?" The others also started talking.

Chu Zhen's face immediately turned green when he heard their words.

Qin Tian shook his head. He really had to refrain from laughing.

He had met many top characters who were overbearing, but this was the first time he had met someone like Chu Zhen. He is not a great person but he tries to be arrogant and looks down on other people.

There might be a lot of people like him, but maybe because his status in his past life was very high, he didn't have the chance to meet people like that.

"Ignore him, let's go." He said as he tapped Yang Ming on the shoulder.

"Mm." Yang Ming nodded. "Let's go." He also said to the others.

After which, they immediately moved from there. They all ignored Chu Zhen who was still stunned. The man only woke up from his daydreams after they were 10 meters away from him.

Not long after, Qin Tian and the others finally arrived at the banquet hall.

When they got there, the place was already filled with many people. There were many youths who looked so extraordinary there that Yang Ming and the others who continued talking along the way couldn't help but shut their mouths. They also slowed their footsteps as they entered the hall.

Even Chu Zhen had to endure the cynical expression on his face.

In that place, they were probably the group with the lowest status.

There were many dining tables in the hall and each of them was already filled with various kinds of dishes.

There was a large piece of meat on each table and the meats emitted a sweet smelling smoke.

Looking at the meats, it was difficult for people like Yang Ming and the others to hold back their saliva from dripping. Even Chu Zhen couldn't maintain his composure.

"Let's go there." Said Qin Tian while pointing at a table in the corner. He was worried if they would suddenly lose control or act indecently, because of this, he invited them to go to a table that was far away in the corner.

Of course, he chose that table because from there he too could easily supervise the entire hall.

He didn't know if there were other players in the hall, but in order to find them, he had to look directly at their faces.

Advertisements

Apart from that, he also wanted to hide first. His nickname is too famous on earth because he spent 250 million dollars just on an item. Qin Tian was worried that if he was seen by other players, they would say things that shouldn't be said.

Even meeting prince Xue, he was filled with doubts because he was worried that the little boy would spread the word that he had Primordial God Body.

Yang Ming and the others did not object to Qin Tian's suggestion. After that, they immediately walked towards the table that Qin Tian had pointed to. They immediately sat on the chairs surrounding the table after they arrived at the table.

But even though they were already seated at the table, they still didn't dare to take the food on the table because still no one in the hall had started eating. Some people only drink and eat light fruits like grapes and apples.

They looked like they were suffering from suppressing their appetite.

On that table, only Qin Tian remained calm. In his past life, even his snacks were better than the foods on the table.

He then started observing the people in the hall. Of course, he didn't observe everyone because there were too many people there. He only observed a few people acting strangely.

For the people of earth who thought this world was just a game world, they naturally didn't behave like the average person.

"Emm,.." After a moment of observation, Qin Tian had already found five people who were clearly people from the earth. He saw a virtual screen appear above their heads as he stared down at their faces.

But unlike Prince Xue, none of them looked special. One of them was even the ship's attendant. And the rest were people who were recruited by the sects on that ship.

But on seeing them, Qin Tian suddenly realized something. Some of them already had cultivation bases, and this made him realize that not everyone started cultivation from scratch. Their cultivation seemed to be determined on the body in which they were reincarnated.

He started from zero because his reincarnated body couldn't cultivate before. As for Prince Xue, it was because he was too young.

"Wouldn't one be very lucky if he reincarnated in the body of a young genius who had started cultivation for a long time." Qin Tian thought, but he immediately shook his head.

"There's no way the system could make such a rule. If they did, it would make the game less valuable."

"Some people may directly have a cultivation base, but I think spiritual apprentices is the highest limit given."

He concluded that way because there were indeed some games that made such a concept.

After some time, more people came. And he found five more players among those people.

The players also found each other and they immediately gathered after that.

When they got together, they naturally immediately caught the attention of many people.

Previously each of them had been acting strange. And when they get together, not only do they behave disrespectfully, but they also speak in loud voices as if they were in their own home.

"Wow, this fish meat is really delicious. I've never eaten food this delicious." They talk while eating the food on the table.

They eat like barbarians and they don't care about the gazes of those around them.

"Where do these peasants come from?" Some people spoke with a sarcastic tone when they saw them.

Even Yang Ming and the others were deeply shocked by their behavior.

But they didn't improve their behavior even after people called them farmers, instead, they started discussing things about the game.

"I don't know how the Night-Heaven Company made this game, but all the NPCs in this game are really too realistic. They even know how to mock." Said one of them.

"They deserve to be the largest gaming company in the world, their artificial intelligence technology is really very advanced. And they also carry a very realistic concept in this game."

Qin Tian listened to their conversation through spiritual sense.

However, when they were talking about the game, Qin Tian suddenly found another oddity.

They spoke loud enough that most of the people around them could hear what they were saying. However, as they talked about the game, Qin Tian found the people around them looked like they didn't hear what they were saying.

"Mmm, can't the people in this world hear the conversation if the players talk about things related to that game." Qin Tian was immediately taken aback when he thought that.

But he also started to rejoice as he thought that.

"Does that mean my ownership of the Primordial God Body can be kept a secret?"

Even the existence of a heavenly body was enough to shock the entire sixteen heavens, not to mention the Primordial God Body which was one of the twelve heavenly treasures. He was always worried that the Primordial God Body's existence would become known to the people of this world. If that was the case, he would probably be chased by a group of ancient gods.

"Mm."

Qin Tian then turned his gaze towards one of the hall entrances. There, he saw Prince Xue's men walking into the hall. In their midst, Prince Xue walked in a relaxed manner.

But he was a little surprised when he saw Li Baiyi walking beside Prince Xue. The skinny man was no longer wearing his messy clothes, he was currently wearing the same clothes as Prince Xue's people.

Their arrival naturally immediately caught the attention of everyone in the hall. Everyone there immediately turned their gazes towards them. Of course, the players from earth were no exception.

As they stared at Prince Xue, they were momentarily stunned before they started talking.

"Damn, someone actually reincarnated as a prince."

"I have to be a servant on this ship, but that boy has a group of soldiers following him, isn't this very unfair." Said the player who became the waiter.

Advertisements

"Let's meet him." One of them said.

The others nodded in agreement.

After which, they walked towards Prince Xue.

'...' Qin Tian

"You fools."

Qin Tian shook his head as he saw their behavior.

The players walked towards Prince Xue's party.

When they arrived not far from the party, they began to open their mouths to speak.

"Hey boy, you are really lucky to be a prince. Look at me, I can only be a servant of this ship, I hope you can take me from here and give me a position in your kingdom." Said the player who was the servant of the ship.

"Hahahaha, that's right. I hope you can take care of all of us in your kingdom."

"I heard your kingdom is very large, I hope you can give me a peerage and a territory."

"I want to set up my own sect, can you help me?"

The people were immediately dumbfounded when they heard what they had to say.

"These peasants will want to die." Some of them said.

Advertisements

"How insolent!" Several screams suddenly came from Prince Xue's followers.

Right after that, one of Prince Xue's followers suddenly jumped towards those players.

The person who jumped immediately released his aura as he jumped. He was clearly a spiritual warrior, the moment his aura was released, the entire hall immediately trembled violently.

"You damn little peasants, how dare you speak to Prince Xue like that, do you want to die." He is screaming.

After which, he then sent his fists towards them. Of course, his fists didn't reach them, but there was a tremendous amount of power released from his fists.

And that power then formed the shadow of a mountain that fell towards them.

Even Prince Xue was shocked by the actions of one of his followers. Obviously he already realized that those people were players from earth just like him.

"Wait!" He wanted to stop the attacking man, but unfortunately it was too late.

Bang...

The entire hall trembled violently as the shadow of the mountain fell.

The players obviously couldn't resist the force that was attacking them, they were instantly pressed to the floor as the shadow of the mountain fell onto their heads.

Luckily the attacker still had time to hear Prince Xue's voice, so he reduced his strength when he attacked.

But even with that, those players still looked like they were suffering a lot. Their heads were instantly covered in blood while their bodies softened as if they had no bones anymore.

But what surprised people was; Prince Xue suddenly ran towards them after the attack disappeared.

He called out to his followers as he arrived in front of them. "Hurry over here and treat their wounds." He is screaming.

People were confused by what Prince Xue was doing. The person who attacked earlier couldn't help but get awkward as he watched Prince Xue show a worried expression as he looked at the people he had just attacked.

"Bro, your men are really cruel." Said one of the players.

They started talking after Prince Xue arrived in front of them.

"Damn, this really hurts. This pain feels so real. That damn NPC, I'll definitely beat him up later."

"Luckily I can still live."

"Ehmmm." Prince Xue cleared his throat with an awkward expression. "Sorry, I was planning to gather all of you through this banquet, I didn't expect it would turn out like this. You know, they (NPCs) are really too realistic." Said Prince Xue.

"But don't worry, you can follow me to the kingdom, I will definitely take good care of you all." He added.

People were even more shocked after they heard Prince Xue's words. Yang Ming and the others were also stunned.

But among them, the one who was the most shocked was actually Chu Zhen. He muttered in a low voice. "Is Prince Xue very kind? He will accept whoever wants to be friends with him."

No one can hear his words apart from Qin Tian. He then looked at the man.

But he was immediately stunned when he saw the man suddenly rise up from his chair. "I must not give up this opportunity. I must be able to become friends with Prince Xue so that I can get away from this horde of peasants."

After saying that, he then walked towards Prince Xue.

"..." Qin Tian

"This stupid man."

Yang Ming and the others were also stunned as they saw where Chu Zhen was going. "Chu Zhen, what are you doing?" They asked simultaneously. But Chu Zhen ignored them, he continued to walk towards Prince Xue.

There were also a few people walking towards Prince Xue, their aim was clearly the same as Chu Zhen.

When they arrived in front of Prince Xue, they immediately started talking.

Some spoke the same words the previous players had said, but there were more that said words of praise.

Even Chu Zhen who always had a cynical expression on his face looked extremely excited as he spoke. He praised prince Xue as if he was his creator.

Advertisements

Unlike the previous players, this time there were no longer Prince Xue's followers who dared to attack.

But Prince Xue and the other players were immediately stunned when they saw them. Especially Prince Xue, his face turned green.

"These NPCs, they even know how to become sycophants." He muttered in a low voice.

He then looked at the warrior standing beside him and said. "Beat them all."

The warrior was immediately stunned when he heard Prince Xue's order.

"Me." He spoke while pointing at himself. He looked like he was unsure of the words Prince Xue had just said.

"I said; beat them all." Xue immediately repeated his words when he saw that the warrior was still motionless.

On the other hand, Chu Zhen and the others were immediately filled with disbelief at what they had just heard. They looked at Prince Xue and the players beside Prince Xue with confused expressions.

They looked like they wanted to ask what was wrong with them, but before they could speak, the warrior who was ordered by Prince Xue to beat them up had already moved towards them.

Now that the warrior was sure that Prince Xue was really angry, so he also showed an angry expression as he walked towards them.

He says. "You little rascals, who do you think you are that you dare to speak to Prince Xue like that."

After saying that, he then took out an iron staff from his storage ring.

Whooss...

After that, he immediately swung the iron staff at them.

Advertisements

Bang Bang bang...

He swung the iron staff many times. Under the pressure of his aura, they couldn't even move so they could only take the blows from the iron staff.

Bam...

The warrior then swung his leg at them. Even though the warrior's leg didn't hit their body, they were instantly thrown away just because their body was hit by the shock wave caused by the warrior's leg.

Whooss... Whooss... Whooss...

The warrior had probably adjusted his movements as each of them was thrown to the place where they came from. Chu Zhen himself fell right beside the table where Qin Tian and the others were.

Yang Ming and the others stared at Chu Zhen's body that looked like a dead fish with stunned eyes. One of them then let out a sigh of relief. "Luckily I didn't follow him." Said the person.

Even though Chu Zhen was lying beside them, none of them had come to help him.

In the end, he could only stare at them with a helpless expression. He looked like he wanted to ask for help, but his mouth only trembled without making a sound. Yang Ming and the others chose to pretend they didn't understand anything.

They hated Chu Zhen but they were worried that if they helped him, they might also come to blame.

Qin Tian shook his head when he looked at Chu Zhen. He then stood up from his chair. Yang Ming and the others originally thought that he would help Chu Zhen, but to their surprise, he simply walked past Chu Zhen without even glancing at him.

However, they quickly opened their mouths as they saw where he was going. "Brother Qin, what are you doing? Come back here quickly." Yang Ming immediately shouted.

The others also tried to summon him, they even got up from their seats to chase him.

But he still ignored them.

Seeing them trying to catch up with him, he immediately sped up his pace so that they could only follow behind him.

His movements seemed relaxed, but Yang Ming and the others found that they couldn't catch up with him no matter how hard they tried.

"What happened?" They are confused.

When they looked ahead, they found that Qin Tian had stopped walking, but the problem was; in front of Qin Tian they saw prince Xue's follower standing with fierce expressions.

Just looking at their expressions made Yang Ming and the others tremble with fear.

But Qin Tian remains relaxed. He didn't even look at them, his gaze was only fixed on Prince Xue and the ten people beside him.

Previously he had tried to talk to Yang Ming and the others, what he had talked about was of course the things related to the Sixteen Heaven Game, but they were completely oblivious to what he was saying.

After several observations, Qin Tian was finally one hundred percent sure that the people in that world could not hear the conversation related to the Sixteen Heaven Game, hence, he no longer felt worried about meeting other players.

Even though he actually wanted to keep a low profile, there were a few things he needed to ask the other players.

One of the things he wanted to ask the most about was the condition of their bodies in the real world.

He felt that it wasn't enough if he only confirmed through Angela's body, he also needed to confirm with the other players before he could be one hundred percent sure.

In front of him, while prince Xue's followers were staring at him with fierce expressions, Xue and the others were staring at him with wide eyes. Even their mouths were wide open.

They wouldn't have been too surprised if he were just another player, but his nickname definitely took them completely by surprise.

"Is he really that Jian, someone who spent 250 million dollars buying the Primordial God Body."

"It must be him, there is no nickname with the same name in this game."

"Oh my God, I actually met this rich player in this place. And he also looks very young. He must be the son of a very rich person." Obviously they already realized that the age of their reincarnation in that world was almost the same age as their bodies in the real world.

Qin Tian only smiled casually when he heard their words.

He then looked at Prince Xue and said. "So little prince, will you not let me pass?"

He looked at the warriors in front of him as he spoke.

Of course, what he said made the expressions of the warriors twitch. Some of them had already pulled out their weapons, they looked ready to behead them.

But the previous incident clearly still made the warriors not dare to act rashly.

After Prince Xue heard his words, he immediately tried to recover his stunned expression.

Advertisements

He then walked towards him with hasty steps. He even had to push the soldiers who got in his way. "Get out of the way,!" He said in a high tone.

After he arrived in front of him, he looked at him once again, and this time he looked him up and down.

"Ah, brother Jian, I never thought we would be on the same ship. This is truly an extraordinary fate." He said in an enthusiastic tone.

The people who saw them almost dropped their jaws when they heard his words.

(Note: Of course, there will be some items that can hide the identity from other gamers later.)

About three days later in that world, a land was finally visible from the ship.

Everyone on the ship immediately boarded the main deck of the ship when the land appeared.

Qin Tian and the others were also on the deck of the ship at this time.

But the group was a little awkward because Prince Xue, the main character on the ship, joined their group. Even their sect envoy had to maintain a good attitude because of Prince Xue's presence in the group he was leading.

Three days ago at the banquet, Qin Tian had asked Prince Xue and the others many things. The one thing he could now confirm was that there were no strange changes to their bodies in the real world apart from some side effects caused by the game.

Another thing he did know was that the boy was not actually an East Asian, but a European.

He didn't mention his background, but he certainly didn't come from a small family. From his dignified demeanor even though he was very young, Qin Tian even suspected that he was from a royal family.

"Brother Qin, are you sure you won't come with me to the Royal Capital?" Xue asked.

"No." Qin Tian shook his head. "I want to go on an adventure first." He made excuses.

"Well, it's actually not an easy thing to be a prince. You know, there are many rivals in that kingdom. In fact, my reincarnation also doesn't have a quiet life in that kingdom."

Advertisements

Qin Tian smiled faintly when he heard his words. Of course, he knows that. "Well, you can ignore them, after all, they are just game NPCs."

"You're right, once I return, I will definitely teach those NPCs a lesson."

"With your heavenly body, there is definitely no prince with better talent than you in that kingdom."

"Mm." Xue nodded.

They continued chatting after that while looking at the scenery around them.

There is a city on the mainland to which they are headed. It wasn't a very big city, but there were a lot of ships headed there. There are even several ships flying through the air.

Not long after, the ship finally docked at the city's port.

"We'll probably part here." Said Xue as the ship docked.

Not far from the ship, there was a ship with the coat of arms of the kingdom. There are several waariors guarding the ship. The warriors looked even stronger than the warriors who followed Prince Xue.

Everyone on the ship knew that they were the ones who were going to pick up Prince Xue.

Qin Tian only nodded when he heard Prince Xue's words.

After that, the boy then took a step to leave the ship. The ten players from the earth and the royal warrriors followed behind him. Before they left there, not a single person dared to leave the ship.

The warriors immediately carried Prince Xue and the others onto the ship after they arrived in front of the ship.

When the ship's door closed, the ship immediately flew into the air.

Ships that could fly through the air were of course not a rare thing in that world, but for the youths from remote islands, they still did not meet the requirements to board such ships that could fly in the air.

The sects in the Shark God continent wouldn't let them do that.

"Huh." Many breathed a sigh of relief after the royal ship left.

It's not that they have an inferiority complex, but the royal family is really too strong for them. They, however, only came from a small faction in the Xue Kingdom. Even the top factions on that ship were still considered small factions when compared to the entire kingdom.

One of the kingdom's top experts could easily slaughter even their ancestors.

After the royal ship disappeared from their sight, they began to get off the ship. They followed their respective sect envoys.

As a small sect even among the sects on the ship, the Split Mountain sect envoy naturally did not dare to move any earlier than the other sects.

And Qin Tian's presence in his group also made him confused about how to act.

He originally didn't take Qin Tian too seriously. Even now he still thought of Qin Tian as a young man who had not yet cultivated, but the mysterious relationship between Qin Tian and prince Xue made him think again about how to treat Qin Tian.

Not to mention him, Qin Tian could even feel the gaze from other sect disciples.

"Ehmmm." Qin Tian then cleared his throat as he saw the sect envoy still not speaking.

He felt uneasy as he watched Yang Ming and the others also start behaving cautiously in front of him.

"Don't worry senior, I actually don't have any relationship with Prince Xue. We just coincidentally have similar fates." He says.

"I hope you can forget about it, senior." He smiled slightly as he said that.

The envoy's face immediately twitched when he heard his words.

"Huh." He sighed. He then pretended as if he didn't hear anything.

"Very well, then let's go to the sect. The location of our sect is not too far from here, we will arrive in three hours."

After saying that, he suddenly opened his robe, and an eagle then emerged from inside his robe.

Even though the size of the eagle looked small, Qin Tian could feel a spiritual warrior aura emitting from the eagle's body.

Whooss...

The envoy's hand then caught the eagle's leg.

"Let's go out of town first, I dare not fly over this city." Said the envoy with an embarrassed smile.

The envoy's cultivation was only in the third layer of spiritual warriors, although the port city was not a very big city, there were many experts who stopped by in that city. If they happened to fly over the head of an expert with a petty personality, they could have been slapped to death.

After getting off the ship, they immediately left the port.

When they entered the city, Yang Ming and the others immediately showed expressions of amazement at the city they were looking at. On the small islands where they came from, it was almost impossible to find a city like that.

Even Qin Tian sighed as he looked at the city with those ancient buildings. 17 years on earth made him yearn for the cities of sixteen heavens. Although cities like that were quite common in other games, they were in the end just cities made up of computer programs. But the city he saw right now was a city from a real world.

The envoy didn't seem to want to stay in the city for long, after entering the city from the port, he immediately led Qin Tian and the others to leave the city.

There were many shops selling various cultivation equipment and resources along the paths they walked, but they didn't stop at a single shop. Perhaps other than Qin Tian who obtained several earth grade pills from the system, none of them would have the money to shop in that city.

Not long after, they finally came out of the city gates.

After leaving the city, they did not stop immediately, they only stopped after they were about 300 meters more from the city.

"Huh. We'll fly from here." The envoy said with a sigh.

Qin Tian could see the tension from the envoy along their journey. He didn't know why, but he felt that their journey to the sect would most likely not go smoothly.

Actually it is not a strange thing. There are too many small sects in sixteen heavens. However, while their number was very large, the territory available to them was much less. For most small sects, they had to continue fighting to defend their territory.

"But." Qin Tian then looked at his stats.

During the previous banquet, he had accumulated nearly 4,000 spiritual energies, and now he still hasn't condensed them.

Statistics:

Nickname: Jian

Race: Human

Body: Primordial God Body

(Unlocked skills: Divine Perception)

Well, here I have changed the words (No sense) to (Divine Perception.) What do you think?

Bloodline: Primordial Bloodline

Soul: Primordial Soul

Cultivation Technique:

Longevity Scripture (First Stage: Can absorb three spiritual energies in 1 second.)

Martial Arts Techniques:

Iron Dragon Fist (First Stage: Can release 100kg of strength with one spiritual source.)

Cultivation: Spiritual Apprentice fifth layer / Spiritual Source: 51/60

Spiritual Energy: 4010 (Note: 100 spiritual energies can be converted into 1 spiritual source. The speed at which spiritual energy converts to spiritual sources depends on the player's talent.)

"Looks like I have to break through first. With 4000 spiritual energy, I can reach the ninth layer of Spiritual Apprentice. With the power of the Primordial God Body, there should be no problem if I fight against a spiritual warrior." He said as he looked at his stats.

The reason why he didn't break through earlier was because he wanted to be in case something required spiritual energy. He was in no rush to break through because for him breaking through was something he could easily do as long as he had sufficient spiritual energy.

Whooss...

The envoy then threw the eagle that he always held.

When the eagle was thrown, its size immediately became large. The eagle's body length reached more than ten meters.

Advertisements

"Hurry up and get on." Said the envoy as he jumped onto the eagle's back.

Yang Ming and the others looked at each other before they leapt to follow the messenger.

Qin Tian was the last to jump.

After he jumped, the eagle immediately flicked its wings.

In one flick of its wings, the eagle can fly across distances of up to a hundred meters.

The eagle only stopped rising when it was 2 kilometers above the ground. After which, it immediately flew straight ahead.

The eagle's speed was truly so fast that if it weren't for the envoy's spiritual energy holding their bodies, Yang Ming and the others would definitely not have been able to stand on the eagle's back.

After the eagle's body flew steadily, Qin Tian immediately tried to condense his spiritual energy.

He couldn't delay any longer as the envoy's face suddenly turned panicked again after a moment of calm.

Ding...

But before he tried to condense his spiritual energy, the game system suddenly gave him a warning.

"You are predicted to be in danger. The system offers an aid to unlock one of the Primordial God Body skills that will unlock when you reach the realm of spiritual warrior."

(Primordial Shadow. Cost to open it: 3000 spiritual energy)

"Ha." Qin Tian was immediately shocked when he heard what the system was saying.

He then read the explanations of the skill.

Advertisements

"This." And he was immediately shocked once again when he read what the Primordial Shadow could do.

It turned out to be a skill that allowed him to create a shadow clone. That shadow clone had no power, but it could merge with another person's body as long as that person's cultivation was only one realm higher than his cultivation.

(Example: he is now at the fifth layer of Spiritual Apprentice, with that level of cultivation, his primordial shadow can basically merge with any body that has cultivation up to the fifth layer of spiritual warriors.)

And when his cultivation was higher, he would be able to cast more shadows.

"The skill will open by itself the moment I break through to the realm of spiritual warriors. Paying 3000 spiritual energy to open it early was clearly a futile act. But the problem is; why is the system giving me a warning? Does that mean the enemies who will come are people I won't be able to face?"

As he thought about that, he suddenly realized something he was almost never aware of in his past life.

In his past life, he grew up in an imperial sect. Even though he still had to work hard to reach the level he had reached, there was clearly a difference between having a background and having no background.

The most obvious difference, of course, is safety.

With several elders always protecting him from the shadows, even when he faced an enemy he couldn't face, he was able to retreat easily. He didn't know how many times he had experienced it, but when the strength of the elders could no longer protect him, he still died in the end.

Now he suddenly realized how many times he would have died if it weren't for the protection of those elders.

And now he has nobody to protect him. Without enough strength, when someone stronger than him wanted to kill him?

"Maybe because I relied too much on the protection of others in my past life, I ended up being unable to do anything when there was no one to protect me anymore!" He sighed.

He had always cursed heaven because he failed to become the Heavenly Emperor, but now he realized that he deserved to fail, indeed.

Every Heavenly Emperor was the main character of their era, but he had one flaw that was very fatal.

"All right, open that." He finally ordered the system to unlock the skill.

At the same time, he also condensed the remaining 1000 spiritual energy.

"Congratulations on breaking through to the sixth layer of Spiritual Apprentice. You have obtained one earth grade spiritual pill."

After that, his stats immediately changed.

Ding.

"You spent 3000 spiritual energy paying for the system. The (Primordial Shadow) skill has been unlocked.)

Right after his stats changed, a gray shadow with a figure similar to him but without a face suddenly appeared right beside him.

What he felt from the gray shadow was as if it was himself.

It was not an alien feeling because it felt similar to when he formed a spiritual body.

Seeing the appearance of the shadow, Qin Tian immediately turned his gaze towards Yang Ming and the others.

He could only let out a sigh of relief when he saw that they weren't making any reactions.

But when he saw the envoy's face, he found the envoy looking even more panicked.

And the envoy then turned his gaze towards Yang Ming and the others.

"Mm." He started talking. "Maybe there will be enemies blocking our path. I don't know how strong they are, but maybe some of us will die."

Yang Ming and the others who were chatting with enthusiasm immediately widened their eyes when they heard the envoy's words. After that, their expressions turned deathly pale when they heard that there was a possibility that they might die.

"Die, I haven't even officially joined the sect, how could I die here." Said the short young man with a hooked nose.

The others also wanted to talk, but the envoy suddenly spoke once more so they couldn't speak.

"Here they come!" Said the envoy. He turned his gaze downwards as he spoke.

Qin Tian followed the envoy's gaze. Because his cultivation was still low, his visibility was still a little limited. He could not see through the clouds below. But moments later, he saw seven eagles that were similar to the eagles they were riding flying towards them.

There are three people above each of those eagles. And they all have spiritual warrior cultivations. They consist of the first to the third layer of spiritual warriors.

But among the seven eagles, there is one eagle that looks a little different because of the three people who are above the eagle, two of them are in the sixth layer while the last one is in the fourth layer.

The person who is in the fourth layer still looks young. He was probably only in his 20s.

When they appeared, the envoy spoke in a low voice. "Spear Mountain Bandit!"

His expression also turned deathly pale when he saw them. The enemy that had arrived was clearly stronger than he had expected.

"..." Qin Tian

"Shit, do I have to take over the body of a bandit?"

(Note: One thing I want to convey here is that mc is not a perfect character just because he is the reincarnation of a Paragon. His failure that caused him to die was because he had many flaws, and in this story, he will learn to correct each of his flaws.)

"But." Qin Tian then looked at the bandits. "Maybe I really can't escape from them even if I have the Spiritual Apprentice's ninth layer cultivation."

The difference in strength between realms was truly enormous. Although it was not impossible to fight across a realm, it was at most, only up to the first, second, and third layers.

Of course, there were other ways to increase combat power even further, namely by comprehending the Dao or unlocking one of the Nine Divine Symbols. But unfortunately Qin Tian, who was just cultivating, still hadn't touched on those things.

Whooss... Whooss... Whooss...

The eagles of the bandits stopped flying when they arrived in front of them.

The young man was clearly their leader because the eagle he was riding in was in front of the other eagles, and he was also standing in the front row among the three people on the eagle's back.

Seeing them arrive in front of them, the envoy immediately cupped his fists. He stared at the young man as he did that.

"Is there something, young master Hu?" He greeted politely.

Even though the bandits' aim was obvious, he naturally had to show politeness first while hoping they wouldn't do something to them.

He could not be blamed for his cowardice because there was no hope of facing them with his strength.

His cultivation was at the third layer of spiritual warriors, but there were at least seven people with the same cultivation as his own among them. If two of them made their move, he would definitely lose, not to mention if they all moved.

Previously he had said some of them would most likely die, but now he wasn't even sure he could leave alive.

And his expression only became even paler as he saw young master Hu suddenly grin.

The young master then said. "The Copper Mountain Sect promised to pay 10 spiritual stones for each split mountain sect disciple's death. Even though all of you are just trash, your heads are still worth some money. How could I possibly let you go."

He showed a wicked smile as he said that.

His words made the faces of the envoy and the others turn green with anger.

At the same time, Qin Tian's eyes turned cold.

"Do it." He said in a low voice.

In fact, from the moment they arrived in front of them, his shadow had immediately moved towards them. It jumped onto the eagle's body where young master Hu was.

The difference in their strength was huge, he knew that if he moved just a little too late, maybe half of them would die right away. He, of course, didn't want to see that happen.

What shocked him was the fact that young master Hu and the other two were still unable to sense the shadow's existence when it was right beside them.

Qin Tian chose to wait there for a while after that. He wanted to see their reaction first.

He decided to take over young master Hu's body, but he actually felt very unwilling to use his shadow on a bandit group young master.

If those bandits were to let them go, he would definitely prefer not to take over the young master's body.

Unfortunately,

Right after the young master spoke, his shadow immediately moved to enter the young master's body.

It entered easily, and when it entered the young master's body, it integrated very rapidly with the young master's body.

"You, what are you?" The young master's consciousness was immediately taken aback as he saw a strange existence suddenly appear within his body.

The grin on his face immediately disappeared and was replaced by extreme fear.

"I will take over your body." Qin Tian replied through his shadow.

"Ahhhh..." The young master then screamed in pain. His body fell to his knees while his eyes were wide open. His breath was panting and the entire skin on his body also turned pale as if he was about to die.

"Young master, are you all right?" The two people beside him immediately panicked when they saw their young master suddenly scream.

"Help..." Said the young master. He clearly wanted to say more but he could only say one word.

After that, Qin Tian found himself controlling the young master's body as if it were his own.

"So easy!" He said to himself. He was completely shocked by what had just happened. He didn't expect that primordial shadow ability to be so terrifying that it could easily take over someone else's body.

Not only did he control the young master's body, he even inherited all of his memories as if he were his reincarnation.

But one thing that confused him was; he did not find the existence of the Sixteen Heaven Game system in the young master's body.

Hu Lei is the name of the young master. And he was the second son of the boss of the Spear Mountain Bandit.

Like any bandit, Hu Lei also did so many bad things in his life that Qin Tian felt uneasy when he thought that he was now a part of himself.

"I feel cursed." He said in a low voice.

The two people beside him heard his words, and it made them panic even more.

Cough. Cough...

He then pretended to cough.

After that he stood back up.

Even though the skin on his body was still pale, his breathing had stabilized again.

"Young master." The two people spoke again.

"I am fine!" Qin Tian replied.

"Let's go back!"

Not only were the bandits dumbfounded, the envoy and the others also looked at Hu Lei with disbelieving eyes when they heard his words.

"Young master, what did you say? How about them?" One of the people beside him couldn't help but ask.

Qin Tian then looked at the person with an annoyed expression.

"Didn't you hear what this young master said?" He shouted angrily.

Advertisements

He wasn't pretending to be angry, he was really angry that he had to become a bandit.

He may not have been a good person in his past life, but he still walked the straight path. Even in his wildest dreams, he never thought he would become a bandit.

"Is this the price of survival for those with no background? Sigh, I really envy those novel protagonists who always find their way out in beautiful and respectable ways."

Many Heavenly Emperors had shameful pasts, and now he finally has one.

After seeing their young master's anger, the bandits didn't dare to delay any more, they immediately ordered their eagles to turn around. After which, the eagles immediately went off into the distance.

One thing he discovered after his primordial shadow merged with Hu Lei's body was the shadow's ability to move on its own. He is the owner and controller of the shadow consciousness, but it also has the independent consciousness to control itself when he chooses not to control it. Of course, that independent consciousness is tied to his soul so that it will always obey his commands.

"Sigh, no wonder it can be ranked third among the twelve heavenly treasures." Qin Tian sighed.

"With this ability, at least I don't have to worry about this body when I exit the game."

As the eagle he was riding on moved, Qin Tian or Hu Lei then sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.

He didn't think about how that primordial shadow took over Hu Lei's body, but ever since he had controlled that body, he could feel a completely different feeling.

No game system had appeared and he also felt as if he was no longer attached to the gaming system. It felt as if he was a native of that world.

The reason why he closed his eyes was because he wanted to try using the cultivation techniques in his memory. He wanted to confirm if the body was really what he thought it was.

Unmitigated, he even used the Emperor's Scripture in his memory, namely the Dark Dusk Emperor's Scripture.

The Dark Dusk Emperor was the founder of his sect in his past life. In terms of strength, he may not be a very strong Emperor, but it is said that he is an Emperor who is full of struggles to get to his position.

Advertisements

The Dark Dusk Emperor Scripture is naturally very difficult to study, most bodies are not even suitable for that scripture. But Qin Tian has the experience of cultivating the technique to its peak. His knowledge of the technique was definitely one of the best among the people cultivating the technique.

Even if it was just an ordinary body, he was sure he could still cultivate the technique. Of course, in order to do that he needed a lot of cultivation resources.

And all he's doing now is just trying to see if it can be used.

"Mm." A few minutes after he started meditating, the two people beside him were suddenly shocked once again when they saw his body.

Suddenly, a hint of dark light with an extremely overwhelming aura suddenly emitted from his body.

"What happened to young master?" They wondered with confused expressions. The bandits who were on the other eagles also noticed a strange change in their young master's body.

However, when they started staring at him, he then opened his eyes while his mouth curled into a faint smile.

"Now it is certain that this world is the real world." He said to himself.

"Unfortunately this Hu Lei also doesn't have much knowledge of the history of the sixteen heavens. However,"

Qin Tian then narrowed his eyes while his expression turned serious.

Although Hu Lei didn't know much about the history of the sixteen heavens, but there was one thing that Hu Lei did know. And that was something Qin Tian only came to know after he inherited Hu Lei's memories. Before that he really didn't know about it.

According to Hu Lei's memory, the state of the sixteen heavens in these several eras had never been calm due to the arrival of a foreign race called the Ji clan.

They were said to have almost conquered sixteen heavens in the past, but at that moment, a very strong woman appeared out of nowhere and managed to become the Heavenly Emperor.

With her strength, that woman then repelled the Ji clan so that the sixteen heavens could last until now.

"Who are they? And who is she?"

Hu Lei really is a bastard. He didn't even know the name or title of the hero who saved sixteen heavens.

But Qin Tian didn't run out of options. He then looked at the two people beside him.

"By the way, what was the name of the woman who had repelled the Ji clan?" He asked them.

And the two people were immediately dumbfounded when they heard his question. But they still answered.

"Young master, have you forgotten, no one knows what that woman's name is. But people call her Titania. Her Emperor's title is Heaven Smiting God Emperor."

"People add the word God to her title in honor of her for her services in protecting the sixteen heavens."

When they talked about Titania, their expressions immediately turned to awe and respectful. They looked like they were talking about their creator.

But Qin Tian immediately frowned after he heard their words. He had never heard of someone with the title Titania, but in the past, he had heard of someone vowing to obtain that title.

He wanted to ask them more questions, but he chose not to as he saw their expressions only become more filled with awe.

Elsewhere, Yang Ming and the others were still dumbfounded when they saw the departure of the group of spear mountain bandits. Even the envoy seemed very confused by what had happened. He even forgot to order his eagle to leave that place immediately.

And a few minutes later, they suddenly heard the eagle's scream once again, and this time the numbers were clearly much more numerous.

Yang Ming and the others were immediately scared silly when they heard the screams.

But the messenger standing in front of them was the opposite, he immediately let out a sigh of relief when he heard the screams.

Not long after, about thirty eagles appeared about two kilometers from them. The eagles were flying very fast and it took only a few minutes before they arrived in front of them.

There was a group of young men in white robes above each eagle. Most of them were the same age as Yang Ming and the others. Their cultivation is also in the realm of Spiritual Apprentices.

But there were some who appeared to be in their twenties with the cultivation of spiritual warriors.

On their robes, there was a sect symbol and under that symbol was written the words (Split Mountain Sect.)

Yang Ming and the others were finally able to calm down when they saw the writing on their robes.

The one that caught the eye most naturally was the eagle that was at the front. The eagle's body length was about 30 meters. As its wings flapped, it caused the wind to blow so hard that the other eagles had to keep their distance from it.

Those who were above the eagle were clearly the top disciples of the Split Mountain Sect. Especially the youth standing at the front with a sword on his back, his cultivation had already reached the seventh layer of spiritual warriors.

But there was one person beside the young man who caught Qin Tian's attention enough.

"This aura." Said Qin Tian with narrowed eyes.

It was a 17 year old youth. The young man's face looked pale even though his aura looked fine. His cultivation was already at the fourth level of spiritual warriors which was quite high among people his age in that group.

Advertisements

"Is he a descendant of the Yue clan?"

What caught Qin Tian's attention from the young man was because he sensed the Yue clan bloodline on the young man's body.

The Yue clan was not an Imperial clan but it was a very powerful clan because their ancestor was a very famous ancient god.

In his past life, Qin Tian befriended the young lord of the clan, and he was one of his supporters in fighting for Heaven's Will.

Qin Tian did not know the fate of him and the Yue clan after he died, but seeing the Yue clan descendants appear in Nirvana Heaven, and that even in a quite remote place, he suspected that the clan might have had an accident.

"Sigh." Qin Tian sighed sadly. "Nothing can survive the fate of destruction after losing the struggle."

Even the sects with Ancient Gods could not survive if an emperor wanted to destroy it. Only the imperial sect itself could survive because even an emperor had to think twice if they wanted to destroy an imperial sect.

Many believed that every Emperor was still alive, they were only somewhere else unknown, and because every Emperor was destined to go there, that was why most emperors did not dare to destroy the other imperial sects.

Qin Tian continued to stare at the young man while his mind tried to recall the cultivation techniques that belonged to the Yue clan stored in his memory.

For the sake of strengthening the people they support, each sect and clan will usually pass their best cultivation techniques on to the people they support.

Qin Tian himself possessed most of the main cultivation techniques belonging to the Yue clan.

"If they lose their inheritance, I should at least provide them with the cultivation techniques that belong to their clan." He said to himself.

He closed his eyes after that, but only a little later, he opened his eyes again.

The envoy who was standing at the front then cupped his fist towards the young man who was carrying the sword.

"Greetings, young master Ling." He said respectfully.

At the same time, he spoke to Qin Tian and the others via voice transmission. "His name is Ling Jian. And he is the son of the sect master and leader of our sect's younger generation."

"Quickly greet him. You are lucky to have met him before you even officially became sect disciples."

"..." Yang Ming and the others.

But even though they were stunned, they still followed the envoy's words.

The youth called young master Ling nodded before he spoke. "Are they leaving?" He asked.

"Erm, they suddenly left before attacking us. Otherwise, we would all have died here." The envoy replied.

Ling Jian immediately furrowed his forehead after he heard the envoy's words. He pondered for a moment before speaking again.

"All right, let's go back." He said while waving his hand.

Right after he spoke, the pale faced youth next to him suddenly snorted. "Hmph. You should have fought them so they don't just walk away!" He says.

"Yue Yang, you can't say that." Ling Jian immediately rebuked him right after he spoke.

"Hmph." And the young man only snorted in response.

On the other hand, the envoy gave Qin Tian and the others a warning.

"Yue Yang is the sect master's personal disciple. His personality is somewhat twisted, you better not offend him, or he will kill you." Said the envoy.

He spoke in such a serious tone that Yang Ming and the others didn't dare ignore his words.

But Qin Tian secretly smiled wryly.

"The personality of the Yue clan people still hasn't changed after all this time, it looks like I'll be dealing with a brat who is unruly." He shook his head.

The Yue clan young master in his past life also had a twisted personality. In order to make him his follower, Qin Tian had to beat him many times.

The group then left the place.

With such a large entourage, of course no one dared to stand in their way anymore.

The eagle that Qin Tian and the others were boarding flew in the very back row.

Apart from that envoy, basically no one paid attention to them.

Even though they might just be low-level sect disciples, they were at least from that continent. They couldn't be arrogant towards the people of the continent, but they could at least look down on the people from remote islands.

Of course, they could only look down on people from remote islands like Yang Ming and the others. Some people also came from remote islands but they joined stronger sects. For those people, even they had to pay their respects when they met.

As the eagle he was riding steadily flew, Qin Tian couldn't help but look at the clock in the real world.

It was almost 4 am which meant that he had been in that world for almost four days.

"I can stay here at least three more days." Said Qin Tian.

He began to think of a plan to secure his body when he was out of that world.

Advertisements

"But taking over Hu Lei's body doesn't seem entirely pointless either."

From Hu Lei's memory, he discovered that there were several of Hu Lei's henchmen in the sect, and they weren't weak characters among the sect disciples either.

"I can use them. At least they can do little things for me."

As he thought that, he or Hu Lei immediately sent a message to his henchmen.

The message was simple, it sent information about him, and ordered them to obey his every order and treat him as if he was Hu Lei himself. If they dared to go against him, Hu Lei said in his message that he would kill them all.

He sent such a message because he didn't want to see them doubt and question his identity.

About three hours later, Qin Tian and the others suddenly saw an enormous mountain not far ahead of them.

Previously they could not see the mountain because there were many clouds blocking their view.

The height of the mountain was probably over three hundred kilometers, and one thing that caught the eye of the mountain was that it was actually split in two.

In the middle of the mountain, there was a very long river and the river separated the mountain into two even though it was actually only one mountain.

The river was definitely no ordinary river because even from a distance, Qin Tian and the others could see plumes of white mist like clouds floating above the river. They were, of course, no ordinary mist or vapor because even from a distance they could feel an extremely pure aura from them.

Yang Ming and the others who had never seen the world were naturally shocked when they saw the river, but Qin Tian still did not react because he had already seen many such things.

Such things are usually called spiritual springs even though they are not sometimes water. As long as they generate a lot of spiritual energy, they will be referred to as spiritual springs by the people of the sixteen heavens.

"The river is the foundation of our sect." The envoy who was standing at the front began to explain.

"The closer you are to the river, your cultivation will also grow faster. But since your cultivation is still low, you can only become disciples of the outer court first."

"You will become junior disciples when you break through to the sixth layer of Spiritual Apprentice before you turn twenty, and you will be senior disciples as long as you become Spiritual Warriors."

"Very well, I will take you to the residence of the outer court disciples." He then waved his hand.

After which, the eagle they were riding in then flew off in another direction. It flew in a certain direction at the top of the mountain.

As the eagle got closer to the mountain, Yang Ming and the others finally realized that it was a farm.

Their expressions became strange when they saw that. They look awkward.

The envoy was clearly aware of their awkwardness.

"Ehmm." He cleared his throat.

"One of your duties as outer disciples is to maintain this sect's farm. Don't think that this is just a normal farm, among those plants, there will be some plants that will grow into spiritual plants."

"Well, I won't explain much more, you will understand by yourself later."

Not long after, the eagle they were riding in landed on a lawn in front of the settlement.

It was of course not a small settlement as there were at least five thousand houses there.

Each house even has their own yard.

Right after they got off the eagle's back, an old man then came towards them.

When the old man arrived in front of them, he suddenly cupped his fist towards the envoy and said. "Greetings senior." He even bent his body.

While Yang Ming and the others were stunned once again, Qin Tian only shook his head.

Almost all sects have the same rules. Those who fail to become junior disciples will usually become outer court elders.

Their status was very low, they were considered equal to junior disciples but obviously not a single outer court elder dared to provoke a junior disciple.

And when they met senior disciples, they even had to call them seniors even if they were much older than that senior disciple.

The envoy only nodded lightly in response. He then spoke to the elder.

"They are the new disciples that I brought, their talents are quite good, I hope you take good care of them all. I'm sure they can become junior disciples in the future." He says. He was clearly showing his support for them.

There was a reason why the envoy treated Yang Ming and the others quite well, it was because he was also from a remote island.

"Rest assured senior, this old man will definitely give them a lot of guidance." The old man answered with a sincere smile.

"Mmmm."

He then turned to Yang Ming and the others. He stared at Qin Tian for a moment but still pretended as if nothing had happened.

"From now on all of you have to try hard. If you can become junior disciples, your future path will become wider."

"If you are lucky, you can even become sect elders in the future. At that time, if you return to your island, you can even set up a mortal kingdom there." He said with a faint smile.

"Alright, I'll be going now, I hope we can meet again in a short time."

After saying that, he then jumped onto the eagle's back. And the eagle flew right away after that.

Yang Ming and the others didn't avert their eyes until the eagle disappeared from their sight.

They then turned towards the old man. However, when they looked at the old man once again, they found the friendly smile on the old man's face had completely disappeared.

No, he was still smiling, but his smile looked like a ghostly smile trying to scare off children. He showed his yellow and missing teeth as he smiled.

"Hihihihihi." The old man then chuckled.

"You little bastards, don't think you can live so easily here just because a senior disciple supports you." He says.

As he spoke, he released his aura a little.

Even though he used to be just a disciple who failed to become a junior disciple, but after so many years of cultivation, his cultivation still reached the realm of the Spiritual Warrior.

Yang Ming and the others almost fell from just the shockwave caused by his aura.

Luckily the old man only let off his aura for a moment.

After which, he then turned around while waving his hand. "Follow me!"

"You have to adapt to life in this place." Qin Tian said as he tapped Yang Ming's shoulder.

They then followed the old man.

The place the old man was aiming at was an ancient pavilion located in the middle of the settlement.

Advertisements

Nothing stood out from the pavilion but the aura in the pavilion felt even stronger than the houses in the settlement.

Along the way, they encountered many other disciples, but the disciples only glanced at them briefly before returning to their own business.

When they arrived in front of the pavilion, the old man suddenly stopped them. "You wait here!" He says.

After which, he then entered the pavilion.

About 5 minutes later, he finally walked out of the pavilion. And he came out carrying a stack of small bags the size of a woman's purse.

"Take these!" He said as he threw the bags at Yang Ming and the others.

Qin Tian also received one. It was a spatial bag that had the same use as the spatial ring or storage ring.

It's just that, the space in the bag is much smaller than the storage ring. And of course, carrying the bag isn't as easy as carrying a storage ring either.

The storage ring was actually not a rare item, but for the outer court disciples of a small sect, a storage ring was still too expensive for them.

"There is one basic cultivation technique, three low level mortal techniques, and a guide for outer court disciples inside those bags. And there is also a key to your home in this settlement." The old man explained.

"Now you can go." He then waved his hand.

After which, he returned to the pavilion.

But before he entered the pavilion, three eagles suddenly appeared in the sky and they descended towards the pavilion.

The arrival of the three eagles immediately shocked everyone in the settlement, even the old man couldn't help but tidy up his clothes and expression.

In each of the eagles stood a young man in his 20s. The three of them looked arrogant, and as they stared at the settlement, they looked very disparaging.

After their eagle landed on the ground, the old man immediately ran towards them.

He had been very respectful of the previous envoy, but to the three young men, his expression had really been exaggerated. He looked like a puppy chasing its mother as he ran towards them.

Yuan Ji, Yuan Yu, and Yuan Li are the names of each of them.

They were still in the same clan as sect masters, but for some reason, they ended up becoming Hu Lei's henchmen.

The three youths didn't even look at the old man.

After getting off their eagles, they immediately walked towards Qin Tian. Of course, they were still acting arrogant because Qin Tian ordered them to pretend they did.

He spoke to them via voice transmission right after they got there.

He might have ordered them to obey him as if he were Hu Lei himself, but in front of other people, he couldn't show it.

After they arrived in front of them, they then looked at them one by one.

Yang Ming and the others felt worried when they were stared at by them. But luckily they only stared at them briefly before their gazes stopped on Qin Tian.

Of course, that only worries them more. But what Yuan Ji said next left them and even the old man dumbfounded.

"Boy, come with us. You will be our servant, and you can stay at our place. Even if you haven't cultivated yet, I can help you gain junior disciple status."

Qin Tian is not the type to be wordy. Their acting may look ridiculous in the eyes of those who know it, but for those who don't know anything, they just think an apple fell on Qin Tian's head.

For the outer court disciples, being able to become a senior disciple servant was tantamount to stepping into the dragon gate. Even the outer court elders wanted the position.

Compared to doing tasks like farming and the like, following a senior disciple was definitely much better, especially if it was a senior disciple of high status like the Yuan trio.

Qin Tian immediately agreed to Yuan Ji's offer, and after that, he immediately followed the Yuan trio.

Before leaving, he even ordered Yuan Ji to say a few words to the old man to look after Yang Ming and the others.

The old man could ignore the emvoy's words, but he clearly didn't dare to ignore Yuan Ji's words.

The next three days, he spent his time at the Yuan trio's residence.

What he was doing there was just cultivating. With the cultivation resources provided by the Yuan trio, he had finally reached the pinnacle of spiritual apprenticeship within three days.

Advertisements

The Longevity Scripture's Ability increased once again when he reached the pinnacle of spiritual apprenticeship, and he even had 5000 unused spiritual energy.

But he chose to hold on to his cultivation for a while.

When the clock in the real world was nearly 7 in the morning, he finally came out of that world.

As for his body, he left it at the most important place in the Yuan trio's residence.

The sky was already clear when Qin Tian walked out of the capsule.

His body was so refreshed as if he had just woken up from a deep sleep.

Today's virtual reality technology is very sophisticated. Even though the consciousness of the people who use it is always active, their bodies are in a deep sleep state.

After exiting the capsule, he immediately paid attention to his spiritual world.

There are now a hundred spiritual energies in his spiritual world.

Even though they had not yet condensed, having a hundred spiritual energies in his body made Qin Tian feel extremely strong.

Shua...

He then jumped up, and to his surprise, his head immediately reached the ceiling of his room.

"Earth's gravity is much weaker than sixteen heavens. Over there a hundred spiritual energies may be almost useless, but here is enough to become a superhuman."

"But I have to immediately condense these spiritual energies."

Advertisements

Perhaps his strength increased drastically after spiritual energy appeared in his body, but without a spiritual source, he could not continue to generate spiritual energy.

In addition, the absence of spiritual energy on earth could cause the spiritual energy in his body to spread out from his body.

He then looked around before sitting cross-legged.

Of course, without the Primordial God Body, it wouldn't be so easy to condense a hundred spiritual energies, but Qin Tian was sure he could do it quite quickly because of the experiences in his past life.

Besides, this was only the first breakthrough in cultivation that could be said to be very easy.

He was sure he could do it in ten minutes.

And this time he still chose to use the Longevity Scripture.

Boom...

About ten minutes later, his body suddenly erupted.

He was already prepared for that, before spiritual energy gushed out from his body, he immediately suppressed his aura from escaping his body.

With earth's gravity weak, even a breakthrough into the first layer of Spiritual Apprentice could cause a glaring disturbance.

Cough...

Of course, force-suppressing his aura right after breaking through had some side effects. He immediately vomited a mouthful of blood after that.

If it weren't for his experience controlling his body, he could have been seriously injured when he did that.

"Huh." He then took a deep breath.

When he opened his eyes again, there was a flash of light shining in his eyes.

Maybe his body still looked the same as before, but there was a huge power hidden within his body.

He felt that a hit from him could easily destroy even a concrete wall.

After that, he then walked towards the bathroom.

Although his body did not emit mud like it did to the bodies of some characters in cultivation novels after they made a cultivation breakthrough, it was still very dirty from sweat.

A few moments later, Qin Tian came out of the bathroom with a towel covering his body.

He then took out the school clothes in the wardrobe of his room.

The high school final exams have been completed, but students are still required to come to school until the graduation ceremony is held.

Of course, their time to go to school was not as early as on normal days. Otherwise, he wouldn't stay in the sixteen heavens until 7 in the morning.

He might be able to skip school, but his life on earth until now has made him very accustomed to modern life.

After days of living in sixteen heavens, he also needs refreshment on the modern earth.

After wearing a school uniform, Qin Tian then smoothed his hair in front of the mirror.

He looked at his face and figure and finally let out a sigh. Perhaps because he was reincarnated from within the stomach, it caused his face on earth to be almost the exact same as he was in his past life.

He has a handsome Asian face. His expression looked calm and relaxed but it also gave people a feeling of innocence.

To be honest he himself was confused by his expression. Some people sometimes feel that he is a man with a calm personality, but some people feel that he has an innocent personality.

But that was only for his expression, only Qin Tian and those who knew him, knew that he was not as calm and innocent as he seemed.

He can sometimes joke and make jokes.

But according to him he is a man who can show various personalities. And he doesn't know which is his true personality.

After seeing his face in the mirror, he then turned his gaze towards the window.

His aunt's villa is in the center of the city, so from that villa, he can see the skyscrapers in the city of Z.

There is one building that catches Qin Tian's attention. It wasn't the tallest building, but in terms of design, it looked the most futuristic of all the buildings in the city.

The building is the branch office of the Night-Heaven Company. As for their headquarters, it is in the city of Arsenal on the European continent.

Seeing the building, Qin Tian started thinking about what he should do on earth.

When he was reborn on earth, he thought of many plans, but because he did not have the strength, in the end, none of his plans were carried out. But now it's different.

After that, he then left his room.

When he came out of his room, the door to the room next to his room also opened.

Shui Yingyue, who was already in school uniform, also came out of her room.

The white shirt with a gray tie layered in a brown short-sleeved suit and a short skirt that covers half of her thighs makes her figure look very attractive.

The serious expression on her face plus the silver glasses she wore made her figure as an educated woman stand out.

(Here I want to inform you that the Nine Element Simbols was renamed the Nine Divine Symbols. Well, they've only been mentioned once, but they really stand out in the future.

Speaking of plots on earth, well you can look forward to it.)

The girl didn't even glance at him. After she passed through the door to her room, she immediately walked towards the stairs.

Qin Tian could only smile wryly. He then followed behind her.

He plans to calm her down later when they go to school.

Below, Qin Tian did not find anyone.

His aunt was clearly not home yet, and he didn't know where Angela was.

Angela herself works at her mother's company. She and her mother were quite often away when certain things were going on at the company.

After he left Angela's room last night, the woman re-logged into Game Sixteen Heaven but she stopped at half past six in the morning.

Since there was no one in the villa, Qin Tian and Shui Yingyue went straight to the exit of the villa.

Shui Yingyue walked with fast steps, but no matter how fast she walked, she still couldn't leave Qin Tian.

Outside the villa there are several cars with futuristic designs.

Advertisements

After leaving the villa, Shui Yingyue immediately walked towards a white Ferrari that looked elegant, and Qin Tian still continued to follow her.

As she arrived beside that Ferrari door, she finally turned towards Qin Tian.

"Your car is there, why are you still following me?" She said as she glanced at the white BMW which was quite a distance from her car.

Qin Tian did not answer her words, he only smiled gently. He then walked towards the Ferrari's right door.

After that, he opened the door.

Before he got into the car, he looked at Shui Yingyue one more time.

"Get in!" He said in a fairly firm tone.

Now he shows his attitude as a big brother.

They may be about the same age, but as a man, he should naturally assume the role of a big brother.

Before this, many things made him have to hold back his attitude. But now it's different.

"..." Shui Yingyue.

The girl was clearly surprised by Qin Tian's attitude. Even her expression changed slightly.

Qin Tian kept smiling, and he then entered the car.

It took a while before Yingyue got into her car, and the moment she entered her car, she acted as if nothing had happened. She then started the engine before driving the car.

Qin Tian didn't talk to her right away, instead, he took out his smartphone first. He then opened a game forum.

When he opened the forum, he found all the discussions on the forum were only about the Sixteen Heaven Game.

Some people discussed the identity of Jian who had purchased the Primordial God Body, but there were more people who discussed the game. They praised how good the game was, but there were also some who cursed because they found misfortune in the game.

"Damn, I was just casually teasing the young lady of the clan I work for, but I was suddenly killed just like that, aren't the NPCs in this game really too cruel."

"Hmph, you're lucky enough, I happened to be the young lord of a clan, but I was suddenly killed by my brother who wanted the clan leader position."

"I'm more unlucky, I was killed by a young master just because the woman he likes likes my reincarnation."

"Hahahaha, that's your unlucky fate. My reincarnation turned out to have an older sister who was very beautiful and strong, she always protected me, and she blushed when I teased her."

Qin Tian shook his head as he read their comments. He even laughed a little.

As he laughed, he could feel Yingyue glancing at him occasionally.

"Huh." He exhaled a breath. He then put down his smartphone before turning his gaze towards Yingyue who was driving the car.

The girl also happened to be glancing up at him so that their gazes met as she turned her gaze towards him. Seeing that, the girl quickly tried to turn her gaze back, but before she could avert her gaze, Qin Tian then stretched out his hand towards her face.

Under ordinary circumstances, there was no way he could reach her face before she looked away, but with Qin Tian's current strength, he could move in a way that ordinary humans could not understand.

His hand was still moving slowly, but it still managed to land steadily on one of her cheeks.

The eyes behind her glasses immediately widened when she saw Qin Tian's hand.

Qin Tian only smiled when he saw her reaction. He then said. "Yingyue, sorry for disappointing you so often, but from now on, I definitely won't let anyone hurt you. Trust your brother."

Titttt...

The sound of a car horn startled the two of them. As they looked ahead, they found that the car had nearly hit the road divider. Seeing that, Yingyue quickly turned the wheel of her car.

After the car stabilized again, she turned her gaze to Qin Tian once again. And she said. "Is there something wrong with your head?"

Qin Tian was not surprised by her answer, he still showed a gentle smile on his face. "Maybe. But as your brother, it is my responsibility to protect you, my dear sister."

While saying that, he once again stretched out his hand towards her.

She naturally couldn't stop his movements, and this time he pinched one of her slender cheeks.

"I'm sure you'll call me big brother again sometime soon." He says.

Even though Yingyue was still trying to maintain her cold expression, the skin on her face that had started to turn slightly red proved that she was almost blushing

Qin Tian was not joking as he spoke. L In reality, he did have deep affection for Shui Yingyue.

Even though in his past life he had a very high status, in reality he didn't have a single family member. His disciple and master were the only ones he had a family-like relationship with.

He had a fiancé but he almost forgot the engagement because each of them had ambitions that kept them from being together.

He didn't know what kind of affection he felt for Shui Yingyue, but for sure, he had the desire to always protect her.

Some time later, they arrived in front of a school building that looked very futuristic. Rather than saying a school building, it looked more like a university.

(I don't know what you guys think of this chapter, but here I want to assure you that Shui Yingyue, she is definitely not a useless woman. She will never be a burden. She is a woman who deserves to be the main character of a novel. Lol.)

Talking about school. Schools in this novel consist of Elementary School, 6 years, Junior High School, 3 years, and Senior High School, 3 years. Now he was senior high school.

Driving a sports car was inconspicuous at the school because too many students came in expensive cars.

It is an international school. Apart from Asian people, almost half of the students who attend school there are from other countries. Most of them are the children of executives from foreign companies.

Yingyue then drove her car to the school parking lot. She seemed in a hurry as she drove.

After the car stopped, she immediately opened the car door and got out of the car at that moment.

Before she could take a step, Qin Tian spoke once again. "Ohhh, it's been years since I saw my sister blush."

This time the girl actually turned around. But her expression was very cold. She touches her glasses and speaks. "Qin Tian, I will send you to a mental hospital if there is something wrong with your brain."

After saying that, she immediately turned around and walked away from there, leaving behind a playfully smiling Qin Tian.

"Is this a tsundere sister?"

Qin Tian shook his head.

Advertisements

He then took his bag before opening the car door.

At the moment he even carried two simple virtual equipment that were shaped like glasses. He was in case something happened to his body so that he could go straight to the sixteen heavens. He brought two because he was worried that one of them would take damage.

After that, he immediately walked towards the school building.

He actually didn't have many friends apart from a few students in the same class as him, so he didn't greet anyone as he walked towards his class.

Not long after, he arrived at the door of class 3-C.

As for Shui Yingyue, she was in class 3-A.

All class A no matter if it was grade 1, 2, or 3, they were on the third floor. Classes B are on the second floor, and classes C are on the first floor.

The students in class C were of course the students with the lowest scores.

Of course, being in class C doesn't mean Qin Tian is a stupid student. His soul, however, was once the soul of a Paragon. In terms of brain power, his brain could not be compared to the brains of most ordinary humans. At least he could easily remember every single thing.

However, just because someone has a strong brain does not mean that someone simply has high educational value. It also cannot determine whether a person is being smart. Even if he can remember everything, but what if he doesn't like reading books.

Of course, since this is an international school, even the dumbest of students have a much higher level of insight than most people.

Educated people can become ministers, but only those with a high level of insight can become kings.

As he entered the classroom, Qin Tian saw about twenty students in the class who made up two thirds of the total students.

Half of the students in the class were foreigners consisting of white people, black people, and middle easterners.

All the students spoke intimately regardless of their respective races.

Except for certain interests, racism in high society is very rare. If the upper class society is also racist, their nation is destined to be a short-lived nation no matter how strong they are. At least that is what often happens in sixteen heavens.

In fact, this is also the case on earth, but humans who live short lives forget history very quickly.

There were several people waving at him as he entered the classroom. He smiled at them as he walked towards the table at the very back.

There was a fat man at the table he was addressing, and the man had already called out to him many times when he walked into the classroom.

"Qin, Qin, have you played it?" Asked the fat man. He showed his smartphone screen as he spoke.

That is of course the Sixteen Heaven Game website.

"I played it until 7 am." Qin Tian replied with a friendly smile. "How about you, Fatty Li?"

As he spoke, Qin Tian couldn't help but stare at the man's face.

There are several scars on his face.

Li Laoshan is the fat man's name. And he's not a minor character. His father, Li Qiye, was the second richest person in Z city. He had businesses scattered all over the earth.

Even though his aunt was the richest woman in town Z, there were ten men who were richer than her in that city.

"Wow." Li Laoshan immediately stared at him when he heard the answer.

"I wanted to play a little longer, but my mom stopped me in the middle of the game." He answered.

"You know, I wanted to buy an item in that game, but my father hit me straight before I even finished my words." He said while pointing at some of the punch marks on his face.

"By the way, what's your game nickname, let's be friends?" He asked.

"Ehmmm." Qin Tian cleared his throat immediately after he heard his question.

He then sat on a chair beside Li Laoshan.

"This is a secret!" He answered.

"Y-you…" He wanted to speak but his words were interrupted when a woman suddenly walked into the classroom.

It was a mixed Asian and European woman. She has pale white skin and golden hair like Europeans, but the Asian face and figure stand out so much that she doesn't look like a mixed woman if it weren't for her hair and skin color.

Besides, she wasn't very tall either. It is only about 160cm tall which is the average height of an Asian woman.

What attracts the most attention of the woman's appearance are her golden eyes and her style which looks very feminine and refined.

She was carrying a stack of books that she was leaning against her chest, and it made her look like a virtuous woman.

But Qin Tian who knew her well enough knew that only her style looked feminine.

She was actually a class A student, and she was Shui Yingyue's best friend. Qin Tian also became friends with her because she also liked playing games. She can even be said to be a fanatic gamers.

Besides, one thing that was clear about her was that she liked him.

Clara is the woman's name, and she does not have a surname.

Qin Tian didn't know her background, but she was a very rich woman for a high school girl.

Many asked about her background, but she always said all the property she had was inherited from her parents.

Clara's aim in the class was clear to meet him as she immediately walked towards him after she entered the classroom.

Unlike other feminine women who sometimes smile shyly, this woman immediately shows a confident smile when she arrives in front of him.

"Is there something?" Qin Tian asked before he spoke.

"I just want to ask." Clara replied.

"I want to know your nickname?" She then asked.

"This is a secret." Qin Tian finally could only answer with the same answer as he answered Li Laoshan.

But Clara's question made him feel as if the woman was suspecting him.

Qin Tian couldn't help but think about whether there was any drawback to his nickname. But he didn't think there was anything strange about Jian's nickname that someone who knew him would attribute the nickname to him.

Of course, when he keeps his nickname a secret, his friends will probably start to suspect him.

He had already thought about the matter from the very beginning he bought the Primordial God Body.

Maybe if it was another game, he could easily create another account that he could show other people. But the problem is; The Sixteen Heaven game does not allow one person to have two accounts.

Things like that are actually not new because some games also make rules like that.

He might be able to make some excuses to Li Laoshan, but it was hard to hide something from a woman like Clara.

She might not be as genius as Shui Yingyue, but in terms of emotional intelligence and shrewdness, she was probably on the same level as his aunt.

Apart from that, she was also quite close to Shui Yingyue. Even though Shui Yingyue definitely wouldn't tell their family secrets, but if Clara tried to bother her, she might be able to reveal an gap.

"Oh, looks like you can't say it in front of a lot of people! All right, then you can tell me via Telegram." She says.

Advertisements

And she spoke with a confident expression as if what she said was the right thing.

"Okay, I'll be back now."

After that, she immediately turned around and walked towards the door with feminine steps.

'...' Qin Tian.

There are no lessons in school other than education about university life and adult community life.

School also ends faster than normal days. At 11 o'clock, the students were allowed to go home.

Throughout the class, Qin Tian continued to receive messages from Clara, but he chose not to answer which caused the woman to start harassing him with more spam messages.

When he came home from school, Li Laoshan took him on a trip to several entertainment venues, but he refused because he wanted to return to sixteen heaven soon.

However, just as he was about to head to the school parking lot, he found Shui Yingyue's white Ferrari already sliding out of the school gates.

In the end, he was only on foot as he walked out of the school gate.

Of course, just moments after he got out, another car had stopped beside him. It was Li Laoshan's car.

When the windshield of the car door opened, Li Laoshan immediately greeted him. "Hey Qin, why are you on foot? How about you come with me?"

"Okay, if you want to take me home." Qin Tian replied.

"Don't worry, I'm not taking you anywhere."

Shizzzz...

Just before Qin Tian opened the car door, another car suddenly stopped right behind Li Laoshan's car. It was a black Lamborghini which looked very glamorous.

"Ha ha ha." Li Laoshan immediately laughed when he saw the car. "Looks like today is your lucky day, my friend." Said Li Laoshan

After saying that, he immediately stepped on the gas pedal of his car without giving Qin Tian a chance to open the car door.

The black Lamborghini rushed forward as Li Laoshan's car pulled away. The windshield of the Lamborghini car was already open when it arrived in front of him.

"Get in!" Clara said without further ado. Her expression looked very serious when she spoke.

Before Qin Tian asked, she had already explained it first. "Yingyue went to see her father at the Z international hospital."

Hearing Clara's words, Qin Tian immediately opened the car door and got into it.

Perhaps due to family pressure, Shui Yingyue's father had suffered from several illnesses ever since he was divorced by his aunt. He is often hospitalized.

To suddenly show up at Z international hospital, it meant that his illness was severe enough. After all, he lived in another city that was also very developed, but he was still sent to city Z.

Z international hospital is actually not a big hospital, rather than being called a hospital, it is actually more suitable to be called a research institute for doctors. Of course, it was a very large research institute. And that's why so many people with serious illnesses come there. That's because there are many top professors in the medical field living there.

After Qin Tian got into her car, Clara immediately stepped on the gas pedal of her car.

Even though the woman looks feminine, but she drives her car quite wildly.

Of course, she occasionally glanced at Qin Tian as she drove her car.

"What?" Said Qin Tian.

"It's okay, but Yingyue is really lucky to have a big brother like you. Even though you may not be a useful older brother, but you are at least worried about the problem." She said in a gentle tone.

"Oh, do you also want to be my sister?"

Even though he didn't know Clara's background, but he guessed that the woman might have had a bad past considering some of her behavior.

Qin Tian just spoke, and the woman then opened the car drawer. There is a cigarette box in the drawer.

She took the cigarette box before offering it to Qin Tian. "Want to smoke?"

Qin Tian looked at Clara for a moment, after that, he took a cigarette from the cigarette box. He was not a smoker on earth, but in his past life, he smoked quite a lot.

Previously he was worried that his body's health would be affected if he smoked, but after his body could cultivate, he was no longer worried about it.

After Qin Tian took one cigarette, Clara also took one. She lit her cigarette first before handing the match to Qin Tian. In an instant, the car's cabin immediately filled with smoke.

This was Qin Tian's first time smoking, but Clara didn't react when she saw him smoking.

But Qin Tian couldn't help but speak. "By the way, you really look like my aunt." Qin Tian said as he looked at the cigarette in Clara's mouth.

He said it was because his aunt was also a smoker.

Whether it was his aunt or Clara, he suspected that the two women might have had issues that frustrated them at times.

"Ha ha." Clara laughed lightly when she heard his words. "No matter how bad I am, I definitely won't be like Lady Cobra who married three men to steal their wealth."

"But, are you worried about that?"

"Worried? Why should I worry about your life choices."

"Hmph." She immediately grumbled when she heard his answer.

Not long after, they finally arrived at Z international hospital.

There weren't many people in the hospital, but those who were there all looked unusual.

Qin Tian also saw Shui Yingyue's white Ferrari in the hospital parking lot.

After the car stopped, he immediately got out of the car before running towards the hospital building.

When he entered the lobby of the hospital, he saw Shui Yingyue being intercepted by three people consisting of two men and one woman.

This wasn't the first time Qin Tian had seen them as they were members of the Shui family.

The woman's name was Shui Ying, and at this time the woman seemed to be arguing with Shui Yingyue.

"Why are you here, get out of here, you daughter of a whore." Said the woman.

Even though Qin Tian was still quite far away, he could clearly hear the woman's words.

And right after that woman spoke, Shui Yingyue's already cold expression suddenly turned colder.

Advertisements

Before Shui Ying could even react, Shui Yingyue suddenly raised her hand. Her palms were clenched tightly so that the blood vessels in her hands were clearly visible. After which, she then sent her fist towards Shui Ying's face.

Bam...

Her fist finally landed on Shui Ying's nose.

Not only was Qin Tian shocked, even Clara who had just arrived beside him also opened her mouth when she saw what Shui Yingyue was doing.

"Oh, my goddess." Said Clara.

Thump...

The woman staggered two steps before falling on the floor after being hit in the face by Shui Yingyue.

It was unknown how strong Shui Yingyue's punch was, but the woman's face immediately turned green with anger.

Although Shui Yingyue might not like what her mother had done, she would always be angry if her mother was insulted.

"You whore, how dare you hit me." Shui Ying immediately shouted. She shouted so loudly that the people in the lobby were shocked.

She clearly didn't care about the gazes of the people in the lobby because after that she immediately spoke in high tones to the two men who had previously stood beside her.

"Beat that bitch." She said.

The two men were younger than her. In fact, one of them was her younger brother while the other was her cousin.

They also looked furious when they saw Shui Yingyue smack their older sister in the face.

After hearing their elder sister's words, they immediately moved towards Shui Yingyue.

Advertisements

Shui Yingyue might be able to hit a woman, but she definitely couldn't go against two men.

Qin Tian who saw that naturally couldn't stay still, he immediately ran towards them.

They hadn't even reached Shui Yingyue yet and he had already arrived right beside Shui Yingyue.

Without thinking, he rushed forward. "You two little rascals sure dare try to hit my little sister in front of my eyes."

After saying that, he immediately swung his palms at their faces.

Ping... Ping...

He held back his strength as he hit them, but it still knocked them face down to the floor in that instant.

"Ouch." They screamed in pain.

"You. How dare you." Shui Ying shouted once again the moment she saw him.

But he paid no heed to the woman, he immediately turned towards Shui Yingyue.

She was clearly the one who was the most surprised among them.

Her expression was stifled and she stared at him with stunned eyes. It took a while before her expression recovered.

After which, she suddenly spoke words which made Qin Tian's mouth open wide.

"Thank you." She said in a low voice while her head bowed slightly.

After saying that, she immediately ran inside.

At the same time, Clara arrived beside him. And she then said. "Is this the relationship between a siscon and a brocon?"

Qin Tian ignored the woman, he immediately ran over to catch up to Shui Yingyue. Of course, Clara was still following behind him.

Not long after, he saw a hospital room guarded by bodyguards who looked like military soldiers.

When Shui Yingyue arrived in front of them, the guards bowed to her before letting her enter the room they were guarding.

Her father's problem wasn't the only reason why the Shui family hated Shui Yingyue so much, but it was because her grandfather who was the patriarch of the Shui family loved Shui Yingyue the most of all of his grandchildren.

Shui Yingyue's father's divorce caused the Shui family to lose a lot of wealth, but it was probably only about one sixth of their entire fortune. The only wealth that Shui Yingyue's mother had obtained was only wealth on behalf of her father. As for the rest of their wealth, most of them were held by the old man.

It was precisely because of this that they were so worried. They were worried that the old man would pass all of his wealth to Shui Yingyue.

When he saw the bodyguards salute Shui Yingyue, Qin Tian immediately stopped. Obviously they were her grandfather's direct subordinates which meant her grandfather was also in there.

Seeing Shui Yingyue enter that hospital room, Qin Tian immediately turned around.

With her grandfather around, the rest of the Shui family would definitely not dare to do anything to Shui Yingyue.

He had no connection with the Shui family, he naturally wouldn't enter there as long as Shui Yingyue's safety was guaranteed.

He, however, is Qin Wuxin's nephew.

The old man might have loved Shui Yingyue very much, but he must have hated Qin Wuxin a lot.

As that woman's nephew, even if he was innocent, he would definitely be hated as well.

Ding...

The Telegram application on his smartphone suddenly received a message. It was from Shui Yingyue.

(Go home now! I'm fine here. I'll be long enough, you can go back to using my car, the key was in it.)

Seeing the message, Qin Tian immediately turned around to leave.

He also didn't want to be overprotective of her, which might cause her to feel uncomfortable.

"Are you coming back?" Asked Clara.

"Yes, can you accompany Yingyue."

He couldn't enter but there was no problem with Clara. As Shui Yingyue's close friend, Shui Yingyue's grandfather would definitely welcome her in kind.

"Hmm, I did come here to accompany Yingyue!" Clara replied.

Advertisements

After saying that, she immediately walked towards the door of the hospital room with her feminine steps.

She looked virtuous as she walked.

(Note: This is a fictional earth, so it will not be completely the same as ours.)

Qin Tian finally went home using Shui Yingyue's car.

When he arrived at the villa, he was a little surprised because he saw his aunt's car in the villa yard.

"What has she done?"

After parking the car, he immediately walked towards the villa. And as he expected, he saw his aunt sitting alone at the guest table drinking beer and smoking a cigarette. She was still wearing office clothes, but her clothes looked messy.

"Um, you're back." Said his aunt when she saw his arrival. Her voice sounded trembling as she spoke. Obviously she was pretty drunk already.

Qin Tian couldn't help but sit in front of her before speaking. "Auntie, you must drink less and smoke less." He advised her.

Even though his aunt looks healthy and young, he knows that she is not as healthy as she looks.

His aunt did not answer his words of advice, instead, she changed the subject. "Did Yingyue go to see her father?" She asked.

"Em." Qin Tian nodded.

"Hmph." She suddenly snorted. "I hope that man can die sooner."

Advertisements

"Auntie, if Uncle Shui heard what you said, he might really die!" Qin Tian smiled wryly.

"But I really want him to die sooner. That old man will probably give Yingyue a large part of his inheritance, at that time, I can teach them some lessons."

She drank another can of beer after saying that.

After that, she suddenly stood up. "I want to sleep." She says.

She then walked towards her room with wobbly steps. Luckily her room was on the lower floor so she didn't have to climb the stairs.

"Aunt." Qin Tian then called out to her while she was still halfway away from her room. Qin Tian's tone sounded serious as he called out to her.

"Uhmmm." The woman then stopped and looked back.

Qin Tian then asked. "Auntie, do you have enemies?"

"If you need help, you can tell me, I might be able to help you."

Maybe if his aunt wanted him to kill someone, he was sure he could do it without a trace as long as that person wasn't hiding in certain places like military headquarters.

His aunt's expression as she looked at him immediately turned strange.

She was silent for a moment before speaking. "Now that I suddenly realize it, you seem different from before."

"Hmmm." Qin Tian cleared his throat with an embarrassed expression.

"Are you?" His aunt looked like she wanted to say something but she didn't say anything in the end.

"Emm." He then looked at his aunt in confusion.

From the moment he mentioned the Primordial God Body item, he had always felt his aunt was acting strange.

He felt as if there was something about him that his aunt knew about.

"Well, I don't want you to solve my problem, but if you really want to help, you can start by building an underground faction."

"Oh, of course it would be great if you could rule the entire underground world of this city." She says.

Of course, she spoke in a joking tone.

After saying that, she immediately turned around and walked towards her room.

And she immediately closed the door to her room after she entered her room.

Qin Tian who was left alone in the living room couldn't help but be pensive for a moment.

"Ruling the underground world, huh? This sounds fun."

"But now I'd better focus on sixteen heaven first."

After saying that, he immediately walked towards his room.

Not long after, he then opened his eyes in sixteen heavens.

He got up from the bed and took out the communication talisman that he had placed in his storage ring. He only got the spatial bag before, but the Yuan trio gave him a storage ring.

It was very much needed because he found that things that did not come from the game system could not be included in the game inventory.

"Dina, come to my room, and don't forget to bring the book that Yuan Ji gave you." He said to the communication talisman.

On the surface, he might be Yuan Ji's servant, but in that Yuan trio's residence, he was the real boss. The Yuan trio naturally didn't make him stay in their residence without a servant to take care of his necessities of life.

Dina herself was just one of the orphaned girls the sect gathered. The reason why they could be gathered by the sect was because they had the potential to cultivate. But before they could cultivate, they would usually be assigned the task of helping sect disciples.

Of course, their status was different from servants like Qin Tian. They were only considered mortal servants whereas he was cultivation servants.

Not long after, he heard a young girl's voice outside his room.

"Master, are you in there?" The young girl's voice sounded very soft.

"You can come in!" Qin Tian replied.

Click...

The door to the room immediately opened right after he spoke.

A 10 year old young girl then entered his room.

She has a cute face, green eyes, and reddish black hair that is still short.

However, the moment he saw her face, he was immediately shocked as he saw a virtual screen suddenly appear right above her head.

(Nickname: Wingless_Butterfly)

Not only was Qin Tian shocked, the young girl was also very surprised when she saw him.

"She was a real person before, but now." Qin Tian couldn't help but be astonished.

"You are a player?" Qin Tian asked.

"Mm." The young girl nodded. "You are also a player, brother Jian, oh no, master Qin?" She said with a nervous expression. She was very polite when she spoke.

"You don't need to be so polite to me." Said Qin Tian.

"But my mother said I had to be polite to every older brother I met if I wanted to be loved."

"By the way, do you know who I am?" Qin Tian then asked.

He was surprised that he found the girl didn't look like she was being surprised when she saw his nickname. She seemed only to be surprised when she saw his identity as a player.

"Emmm." The girl suddenly showed a confused expression.

"My nickname, have you never heard of it?" Qin Tian said while pointing upwards.

"Your nickname is Jian!" She still showed an innocent expression.

"Ehmmm." Qin Tian cleared his throat.

"If you open the Night-Heaven Game website, you should have read my nickname there."

After saying that, he found the little girl's expression suddenly turn sad.

"Ehm," Qin Tian immediately waved his hand to stop the girl from speaking when he saw her expression.

He did not need to ask to know what was going on by the girl. People like her are pretty much found in the virtual gaming world, and they spend more of their time there because it's only there that they can experience the real life.

Qin Tian couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the girl.

He did not expect that he would meet someone with such a fate, especially one who was only 10 years old.

"Emmmm." The girl tried to hide the sad expression on her face, she then handed the book she had brought to Qin Tian.

"Master Qin, this is a book that was given by Master Yuan." She says.

Qin Tian accepted the book. After looking at the cover of the book for a while, he then said. "You can call me brother Qin from now on, don't call me Master."

"Is it true?" The girl's face immediately turned cheerful after she heard his words.

"Do you want to be my brother, brother Qin?" She asked with an innocent face.

After the girl left, Qin Tian immediately opened the book he had just received. The book is actually the history of sixteen heavens. It records many stories about emperors in the last few eras.

Before he returned to the real world before, he asked Yuan Ji to find him the book.

Ding.

Right after he opened the book, he suddenly received a message. The message came from Prince Xue.

"Brother Qin, you're lucky you didn't follow me. Do you know, everyone who followed me was killed by some of my brothers. Damn, these NPCs really don't make sense."

Qin Tian didn't know whether he should laugh or cry when he saw the message.

"The NPCs in this game are very smart, you have to be careful not to get killed." He replied.

"By the way, the kingdom wants to send me to the Giant Bamboo sect."

"It's a good place, but I suggest you increase your strength first."

"Mmm, you're right."

After their chat ended, Qin Tian immediately started reading the book.

He had no trouble finding the information he was looking for because he was able to start with the story of the emperor before his era.

And it was only moments later before he knew how many eras had passed since he died.

It turned out that ten eras had passed since he died, and it was after that era that changes began to occur in the sixteen heavens.

The person who became emperor in his era was the Emperor of the Desert. That was his enemy in his past life, and of course, the one who killed him.

According to the book, after the Emperor of the Desert disappeared, the Ji clan suddenly appeared in sixteen heavens.

They are very strong, and although they are still not as strong as sixteen heavens, they are said to have some treasures that allow them to suppress sixteen heavens.

In the era after the Emperor of the Desert, the leader of their younger generation won the Heaven's Will and became the Heavenly Emperor.

That's the beginning of real chaos.

The chaos that occurred was unimaginable. It was said that many Ancient Gods from the sixteen heavens had fallen because of the Heavenly Emperor of the Ji clan.

But with the many treasures left by the previous Emperors, the sixteen heavens still managed to survive.

The Heavenly Emperor of the Ji clan disappeared not long after, but after that, the Ji clan managed to control three of the sixteen heavens.

From this era, the sixteen heavens began to be called the Ji clan era.

Three eras later, the same thing still happened, and after that, the Ji clan managed to control six of the sixteen heavens.

They produced four Emperors in succession who were the greatest miracles in the sixteen heavens.

Although the Five Elements sect produced five Emperors, they did not produce Emperors in succession like the Ji clan did.

Of course, the success of the Ji clan was also due to the many internal rivalries in the sixteen heavens. There are even quite a number of traitors.

And the fifth era is the turning point of the sixteen heavens.

A woman in armor suddenly appeared, and she then defeated all the geniuses of the sixteen heavens, forcing them to have no other choice but to submit to her.

She is Titania.

Advertisements

When she became a Paragon, her strength was said to be so strong that she could even defeat an ancient god with a single blow.

She had unlocked nine of the nine divine symbols, but that was not what made her strength so powerful.

Among the Emperors themselves, there were three Emperors who had unlocked the nine divine symbols, they were the Flame Emperor, the Southern Emperor, and the Purple Moon Emperor. These three are the three strongest Emperors of all Emperors.

But even though they had also unlocked nine of the nine divine symbols, their strength was said to be still weaker than the strength of Titania when they were still in the Paragon realm.

What made that woman so strong was said to be because of the Eternal Light Art that she created. To Be Continued.

Chapter 33: Eternal Light Era

There is a proverb that anyone who has unlocked nine of the nine divine symbols can decide the owner of Heaven's Will.

Even though it was only a proverb because even those who had unlocked nine of the nine divine symbols would still have to fight if they were to obtain Heaven's Will, but that proverb proves how powerful a person is who has unlocked nine of the nine divine symbols.

With the nine divine symbols plus the Eternal Light Technique, even an ancient god who had lived dozens of eras couldn't do anything to her.

At that moment, there were hundreds of geniuses from the Ji clan who had been massacred by her.

In people's eyes, becoming the Heavenly Emperor for Titania was only a matter of stretching out her palm.

However, something unexpected suddenly happened at that moment.

There is a reason why every Heavenly Emperor went to an unknown place some time after they became Heavenly Emperor. It is because their existence is no longer permitted by the sixteen heavens. If they remain in the sixteen heavens, there will be tribulation lightning that will come down to punish them.

It was said that even the heavenly emperors would die if they were attacked by that tribulation lightning.

But what surprised people was; The Ji clan apparently possessed a heavenly treasure that could hide their heavenly emperor from the tribulation lightning.

It turned out that the previous four Ji clan Heavenly Emperors had never left but they were hiding in that heavenly treasure.

Advertisements

Of course, the consequence of doing that was that they could never appear again.

Previously they hid before the tribulation lightning fell, but if they came out now, the tribulation lightning would immediately descend, and even if they tried to hide again, the tribulation lightning would still chase them to their hiding place.

The only way they can survive is to leave sixteen heavens. Of course, there was no way they could leave unscathed. There is even a high chance that they will die on the way.

But in order to stop Titania from becoming a Heavenly Emperor, one of the Heavenly Emperors of the Ji clan finally came out of hiding.

That, of course, was something people weren't expecting.

However, what made people even more shocked was the strength of Titania itself.

The Ji clan Heavenly Emperor failed to stop her. She still managed to become a Heavenly Emperor in the end.

After she became Heavenly Emperor, the other Heavenly Emperors had no other choice but to show themselves.

The battle that shook the entire sixteen heavens immediately followed.

And the Eternal Light Art truly demonstrated its true strength in that battle.

It was said that the four Heavenly Emperors of the Ji clan were defeated by her so they had to leave sixteen heavens.

But perhaps because of that battle, the tribulation lightning for Titania descended earlier so that she too had to leave the sixteen heavens.

Of course, before she left, she managed to deal such a fatal blow to the Ji clan that those who used to rule six of the sixteen heavens only managed to keep one heaven under their control.

That was the end of the heyday of the Ji clan.

After that, the sixteen heavens entered the Eternal Light era which still lasts until now.

The reason why people called that era the Eternal Light era was because the light emanating from the Eternal Light Art never went out from then on.

The light continued to shine so that the sixteen heavens never had another night.

And it only ended when the next Heavenly Emperor, the Emperor of Eternal Darkness, used his strength to extinguish the light.

The Eternal Darkness Emperor had the ambition to rival Titania's so that he also developed his own martial art called the Art of Eternal Darkness.

After he became Emperor, the first thing he did was try to extinguish the remnants of Eternal Light.

Since the light was only a residual force, he was naturally able to extinguish it. But it is said that he received a counterattack from Eternal Light so that he sustained severe injuries.

He became the laughing stock of many, and he was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to show himself again.

And now is the sixth era of the Eternal Light era.

After the Eternal Darkness Emperor, there were four more Emperors who appeared. And one of them came from the Ji clan.

But unlike before, the Ji clan had stopped trying to dominate the sixteen heavens. That heavenly emperor of the Ji clan also didn't hide after he became Emperor.

Rumors said it was because the treasure that could hide the emperor, had been taken away by the other emperors of the Ji clan. But there are also rumors that the treasure has been damaged. Some even say that it disappeared during battle, and is currently hidden in a certain place in the sixteen heavens.

The Snow Lotus Emperor was the last Emperor, and now it has been twenty thousand years since she disappeared.

"Huh, huh, huh."

Qin Tian couldn't help but gasp for breath after he read the book.

Every heavenly emperor's story could make anyone's blood boil, but Titania's story made him feel like screaming.

Advertisements

"Now I'm pretty sure it's her. Only she could possibly unlock nine of the nine divine symbols. And the Eternal Light Arts, that should be the technique she spoke of at that time."

The problem is; in the book it said that Titania had always covered her entire body in such armor so that even her face was never seen.

Until now no one knows who she is, where she came from.

(Note: The Flame Emperor is male, the Southern Emperor is also male, and the Purple Moon Emperor is female.)

Qin Tian then put the book into his storage ring.

As he looked at the virtual screen in front of him, he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw his aunt's nickname status suddenly change from offline to online. Her nickname is Snow_Goose which really doesn't match her identity.

But Qin Tian chose not to contact her.

After that, he then took out a thin book from inside his storage ring. It is a record of a martial arts technique.

Yuan Ji gave him several high-level mortal techniques but only one caught his interest.

Ding...

(Mountain Jumping Technique.)

High level mortal technique

Price: 1000 spiritual energy

"Do you want to buy it?"

Advertisements

"Yes." Qin Tian answered.

Even though he underestimated mortal level techniques, but he had no other choice but to buy them because he was currently completely lacking in martial techniques.

He chose that technique because it could help him make complex movements.

Ding.

"Mountain Jumping Technique has been added to your body."

Spiritual Energy: 4000 (Note: 100 spiritual energies can be converted into 1 spiritual source. The speed at which spiritual energy converts to spiritual sources depends on the player's talent.)

He immediately lost a thousand spiritual energies after that.

"But even by paying for it with spiritual energy, players still have to practice the technique to master it."

He found that even though the technique appeared in his memory, he did not master it right away. It was different from when he added the previous two techniques where he had instantly mastered them. (Longevity Scripture and Iron Dragon Fist)

Right after that, he suddenly received a new message from the system.

Ding.

"Do you want to immediately master the Mountain Jumping Technique?"

Price: 3000 spiritual energy.

Qin Tian immediately refused after seeing that.

Others might need it but he didn't because with the Primordial God Body, he could master every single martial technique easily no matter how difficult they were, not to mention just mortal grade martial arts.

He was just observing the technique, and he had already begun to master it.

"Huh." He exhaled a breath.

After that, he walked towards the door of the room.

Even though he could break through at any time, he still chose to hold back his cultivation. The reason he did that was because Yuan Ji had previously said that one week later, the sect would open one of their spiritual places to junior disciples. And now it's been almost a week.

He was deliberately holding back his cultivation because he was planning to enter that place too.

Even though he hasn't revealed his cultivation yet, but he has already obtained the status of a junior disciple so he is also qualified to enter it.

Click.

He opened the door to his room.

As he walked out of his room, he let off his aura a little. It was to show that he had turned from an ordinary human to a Spiritual Apprentice. And he showed the aura of the spiritual apprentice second layer.

When he arrived at the living room, he saw Dina cleaning the furniture in the living room.

When the girl saw him, she immediately walked towards him. "Big brother." She greeted with an innocent smile.

"Emmm." Qin Tian nodded. "By the way, you don't have to keep doing those chores." Said Qin Tian as he looked at the furniture in the living room.

The place where he lives is a mansion. For a little girl like her to work cleaning the entire mansion was really very tiring.

He, of course, could not treat children on earth the same way he would treat children in sixteen heavens.

If what the child protection commission finds out about what he is doing, he may have to deal with them.

"They will get dirty if they are not cleaned." Answer the girl.

"That is easy." Qin Tian then waved his palm.

The wind blew from his palm, and they then spread throughout the living room. In the instant after, all the dust in the living room immediately disappeared without a trace.

"You can easily clean this entire place as long as you have the strength." Said Qin Tian.

After saying that, he then took out an apple from his storage ring. It is a spiritual apple.

Although that apple couldn't be compared to a spiritual dragon fruit, it could at least help humans who were just starting cultivation break through to the first layer of Spiritual Apprentice.

But to Qin Tian's surprise, the girl suddenly shook her head. "Why cultivate? It's boring, it's better to use my hands and feet. I've never used them in the real world."

Qin Tian immediately fell silent when he heard the girl's words.

"Could it be that she also can't use her hands and feet in the real world?" Qin Tian couldn't help but feel sad as he looked at the girl.

"By the way, which country do you live in?" Qin Tian then asked.

The girl's accent when she spoke sounded so foreign that Qin Tian suspected that she came from a rather remote country.

There are many countries on earth. While most of these countries are very developed, there are still some countries that are poor for certain reasons such as war.

"Mmm, do you know the biggest island in the world, big brother Qin? Borneo Island, that's where I live. My father and mother are soldiers who protect our country." She answered with a proud smile.

Qin Tian was a little surprised when he heard the answer, but he let out a sigh of relief after hearing that.

Although the island of Borneo is a bit left behind because most of its territory is still forest, he never heard of any wars there.

A while later, he went to the mansion's courtyard.

He did nothing there but lie down on the grass staring up at the wide sky.

Of course, he didn't just lie down doing nothing.

"Eternal Light Technique! Who would have thought that it managed to render Sixteen Heavens without nights for one era."

"But, I will also create my own technique. And it must be more powerful than the Eternal Light Technique."

After saying that, he started to close his eyes.

As a player, he could not use the techniques in that world directly without going through the game system.

But he could still grasp the Dao in order to create his own technique.

Time passed quietly. Without realizing it, it had been nearly 12 hours since he closed his eyes.

If it were other earthlings, they would probably be bored to death, but he who was used to cultivation felt as though it was just the blink of an eye.

As the sun began to set, he then opened his eyes again.

Purple light flickered in his eyes, and after that.

Rumble...

The space around him suddenly trembled as nine dots of light appeared right above his head.

They were very small at first, but after a while they grew bigger to the size of a basketball.

Each of them emitted an astonishing aura.

"Nine divine symbols, I finally awakened you." Qin Tian said when he saw them.

Nor did he expect that he could awaken the nine divine symbols while he was grasping the Dao. And it happened while he was still in the realm of Spiritual Apprentice.

Advertisements

Although everyone can definitely awaken nine divine symbols, most people can only do so when they are in the Spiritual Lord realm. Even the Paragons, they probably only awakened their nine divine symbols when they were at the Spiritual Master realm. Only supreme geniuses could awaken them in the Spiritual Warrior realm.

Of course, awakening them and opening them are two different things.

Only after opening them, only then could a cultivator use their strength.

Being able to open four of the nine divine symbols would be considered a genius. Opening five or six of the nine divine symbols meant that one had the opportunity to become a candidate for Emperor or even to become emperor itself.

Seven would be considered an extremely rare genius while eight would be considered an all-time miracle.

As for nine? Well, as the saying before, they can decide the owner of Heaven's Will.

In his past life, Qin Tian was only able to open seven of the nine divine symbols. He wouldn't lose if he could unlock eight of them.

"Shhhhh." He then took a deep breath before retracting his nine divine symbols back into his body.

After that, he closed his eyes again.

But unlike before, when he closed his eyes this time, his body suddenly emitted nine lights of different colors.

And as time passed, those nine lights began to turn into nine bolts of lightning.

Ding.

"The system detects a new technique in your body, please give a name to your technique."

"Mm." Qin Tian opened his eyes once again.

"Very well, name it Nine Immortal Lightning." Qin Tian replied.

Ding.

"Orders accepted."

Spiritual Energy: 4000 (Note: 100 spiritual energies can be converted into 1 spiritual source. The speed at which spiritual energy converts to spiritual sources depends on the player's talent.)

He can make his own technique very quickly because he already has the framework of the technique.

It was a technique he wanted to develop in his past life, but unfortunately his talent was not sufficient to develop the technique.

The advantage of developing one's own technique was of course that because it was a self-made technique, a cultivator could fully master it so that they could unleash the power of the technique to its full potential.

Even though the technique created by a heavenly emperor was extremely powerful, it was impossible for others to unleash the power of the technique to its full potential no matter how great their talent was.

Of course, most self-made techniques might not be able to beat a technique crafted by a heavenly emperor. After all, every single technique crafted by a heavenly emperor was truly too strong that one percent of its strength was enough to defeat one hundred percent of the strength of a technique crafted by a Paragon.

Qin Tian then looked at the palm of his right hand.

The nine thunderbolts on his body flowed down his hand before gathering in his palm.

They consist of red, yellow, blue, green, purple, black, white, dark black, and bright white.

"With primordial energies, their strength has truly surpassed my expectations." Said Qin Tian.

After saying that, he then clenched his right palm, and he then sent his fist towards the small hill that was about 100 meters away from him.

Whooss...

The nine bolts of lightning combined to form the nine dragons that were wrapped around each other. And they flew towards the little hill.

Their size was very small, but wherever they passed, they caused the space they passed through to vibrate.

And they were even faster than the lightning that descended from the sky.

It only took them a blink of an eye before they reached the little hill.

And, boom.

The small hill immediately exploded and shattered when it was hit by them.

"Amazing. Even the first layer of Spiritual Warriors won't be able to withstand their strength." He said with a satisfied smile.

Though he only used a little of his strength, but they could unleash such a powerful force.

If he unleashed his full strength, even he wasn't sure how strong those nine bolts of lightning would be.

He then looked up at the sky that had already darkened and said. "That spiritual place should be open tomorrow. Well, I'll be meditating tonight."

After saying that, he couldn't help but look at the friends list of his game accounts, and he found that his aunt's account was still online.

After thinking for a moment, he then chose to send her a message.

"Auntie, where did you reincarnate?" He asked.

Advertisements

He waited for his aunt's reply, but his aunt only replied to his message ten minutes later.

"Dao Heaven." His aunt replied.

And he was immediately shocked when he read his aunt's reply because Dao Heaven was the birthplace of his past life.

It was a heaven completely dominated by humans, and the Dark Dusk Sect was there as well.

The next day, Qin Tian again opened his eyes when he heard the sound of three eagles echoing over the sky.

As he opened his eyes, he saw three eagles descending towards him.

The people who were on top of the eagles' backs were naturally the Yuan trio.

As their eagles landed, they immediately jumped to the ground before walking towards him.

They then cupped their fists when they arrived in front of him. "Young master." They greeted with respect.

Hu Lei's orders caused them to treat him with great respect, but there was another reason they behaved that way. It was because a few days ago he had given each of them a cultivation technique.

Although the cultivation technique he gave them was not something precious in his eyes, but in their eyes, it was the best cultivation technique because even the best cultivation techniques in the sect could not be compared to the cultivation techniques he gave them. Even the other sects around the sect didn't have any cultivation techniques at that level.

The Yuan trio were respectful of him mostly because they wanted more techniques from him but apart from that, they also had doubts about his identity.

"Mm," Qin Tian nodded. "Not bad, you guys managed to break through after a few days."

Previously, Yuan Yu and Yuan Li's cultivations were at the fourth layer but now both of them had already broken through to the fifth layer while Yuan Ji managed to break through to the sixth layer of spiritual warriors.

Advertisements

"It is thanks to you, young master." Answer them.

"Then, will that place be open now?" Qin Tian then asked.

"Yes," Yuan Ji replied.

"We managed to get the elders to let us lead the junior disciples into that place, so, we can later assist you in that place."

"Um, good job. Now take me over there."

"Please." Yuan Ji then stretched out both hands to invite him.

The place they were aiming for was the river in the middle of the mountain.

There are many parts of the river that look a little different. And the part of the river that they go to, it looks different because the water is constantly turning. And it looks quite dangerous.

But even though the water in the river looked dangerous, Qin Tian who was far above the air could feel the extremely pure and subtle spiritual energy from the water.

"There must be something that caused the water to be like that." He thought.

Next to him, Yuan Ji also spoke. "The sect wants to add more spiritual warriors because in the next three months, the sects in the Thousand Mountains province will go to the tomb of a Saint."

"It is the tomb of Saint Ming who was the previous ruler of the Thousand Mountains province."

"The Ming clan actually doesn't want anyone other than them to enter the tomb, but they also can't do anything because the tomb is not in their territory. And Saint Ming himself made his tomb accessible to anyone."

"It is said that there are many treasures in the tomb. There are even rumors that there is an object that contains an 'emperor aura' there."

"Mm." Qin Tian only changed his expression after he heard the words 'emperor aura'.

With Heaven's Will, an Emperor could be said to have a boundless spiritual aura. Even anything an emperor casually touched would leave an 'emperor aura' within.

It might only be a tiny speck of aura in an emperor's eyes, but it was enough to threaten even an Ancient Saint as long as it was unleashed.

Imperial treasures might only be possessed by people related to the emperor, but there were quite a number of items that contained the 'emperor aura' in the sixteen heavens.

Those items might not be very attractive in the eyes of the Paragons, but under Paragon, even Ancient Saints would fight over them.

"Looks like I'll have to go there later. But the tomb of a Saint, even Sovereigns would definitely visit it. I need to at least become a Spiritual Master first. And if I can open at least two of the nine divine symbols, even Sovereigns might not be able to harm me as long as they haven't opened a single one of their divine symbols."

The reason why the nine divine symbols were so important was because only opening one of the nine divine symbols could already increase one's strength to nearly a realm or even more.

"By the way." Qin Tian said as he looked at the river below. "Do you know what makes the river turn?" He asked.

"Mm." Yuan Ji immediately showed a confused expression. "Actually no one knows what caused it. Even the sect master might not know what caused it to happen."

"Oh, I see." Qin Tian nodded. He wasn't that surprised if even the sect master was clueless.

From what he had heard, the sect was founded two thousand years ago by the previous sect master. And the strongest expert in the sect was only an early stage spiritual Lord.

But the river existed long before the sect was founded, and no one knows how many people and experts had stopped by the river.

One era sometimes lasts fifty thousand years. While there was only one emperor for each era, there was too much that could happen among the weaker people.

"Maybe there's a weapon that's quite powerful down there." Qin Tian guessed. That was his biggest guess because usually only weapons could last long enough.

They landed on the riverbank not long after.

When they arrived, there were already hundreds of junior disciples gathered there.

In front of them, Qin Tian had no other choice but to stand behind Yuan Ji and act like a humble servant.

And Yuan Ji and the other two naturally returned their arrogant expressions in front of them.

The junior disciples greeted them but the three of them only nodded with indifferent expressions.

"Follow us, we will lead you into that place." Yuan Ji said.

"Wait." Right after Yuan Ji spoke, a shout suddenly came from above.

Everyone immediately turned their gazes towards the sky and they saw an eagle descending rapidly towards them. There was a 17 year old youth on the back of the eagle.

"Yue Yang, what are you doing here?" Yuan Ji narrowed his eyes when he saw that it was Yue Yang.

"I'll come with you!" Yue Yang replied with an indifferent expression after he jumped off his eagle's back.

"Apart from us, only junior disciples are allowed in, if you also come in, there will be no spiritual energy left for them." Yuan Ji looked displeased as he spoke.

"Hmph." Yue Yang snorted. "Do you think I went there to cultivate."

"For what else?"

"That's not something you have to know, hurry up and open up that place." He said in a commanding tone.

"Yue Yang." Yuan Lu who was standing beside Yuan Ji shouted in an angry tone. "We are your seniors, please behave with respect."

"Senior." Yue Yang showed an expression of disgust. "Do you think you are worthy of being my seniors."

Advertisements

"Oh, it turns out that you guys just broke through. Come on if you want to fight."

"You think I'm afraid of you." Yuan Lu was about to rush forward, but he stopped when he heard Qin Tian speaking via voice transmission. "Let him." Said Qin Tian.

"Hmph." He in the end could only snort at Yue Yang.

"I will definitely beat you up after this." He says.

If it had been before, he knew he wouldn't be able to match Yue Yang even if his cultivation was two or three layers higher. But after cultivating with the cultivation technique given by Qin Tian, his fighting strength had also increased so much that he was sure he could beat Yue Yang.

Yuan Lu and Yue Yang snorted at each other many times before they stopped.

After that, they all immediately walked towards the river.

There was a formation covering the river, and Yuan Ji then took out what looked like a disc. He did something to the disc, and after that, there was a circular hole that opened in the middle of the formation.

"We'll enter through there." Said Yuan Ji.

After saying that, he immediately walked towards the hole.

Qin Tian, Yuan Lu, Yuan Li, Yue Yang, and other junior disciples followed closely behind him.

They did not jump, but walked over the formation. And they stopped when they came to the front of the hole.

Yuan Ji looked like he wanted to speak, but his mouth stopped moving when Yue Yang suddenly jumped into the hole before he could speak.

The Yuan trio immediately gritted their teeth as they saw Yue Yang ignore them.

Yuan Ji then looked back and spoke. "You can go now, but before that, I want to remind you to be careful. You should focus on cultivating, and not hang around in there."

Advertisements

He let off his aura slightly as he spoke so the junior disciples quickly nodded their heads.

Everyone knows that there is a secret in that place. Some people who thought they might have good luck naturally had the desire to investigate the place.

Every time that place was opened, there would always be some students who tried to roam around to investigate the place.

Shua... Shua... Shua...

Qin Tian and the others immediately jumped into the river.

Splash...

And it didn't take long before they fell into the river.

When his body came into contact with the river, Qin Tian could feel the immense spiritual energy from the river. He hasn't even cultivated yet, but the spiritual energy in the river has started to enter his body.

The spiritual energy in his body was continuously increasing every few seconds.

Of course, no one directly cultivated there. After falling into the river, the junior disciples immediately swam into it.

A Spiritual Apprentice still cannot live in water, but with the spiritual energy in their body, they can continue to stay underwater until the spiritual energy in their body is exhausted.

But when Qin Tian dived into the river, he was immediately shocked because he found he was not like other spiritual apprentices. He could actually breathe there as if he were not underwater.

He can even talk if he wants to. That should be something only spiritual warriors could do.

He then looked at the bottom of the river.

The river water was very deep, and it was clear enough. But because it was too deep, it was still difficult to see the bottom of the river. However, with the Primordial God Body, Qin Tian's eyesight was naturally different from others.

Something that not even the Yuan trio could see, but he could see it very clearly.

And at the bottom of the river, he saw a tunnel which was quite large. The current around the tunnel was very heavy, but there he saw Yue Yang swimming towards the tunnel.

"Mmm, does he think he can reach the bottom of the tunnel?"

It might still be easy to enter the tunnel, but he knew it would not be easy to move in it, not to mention reaching the bottom.

The fact that no one knew what was beneath the river proved that not a single expert in the sect could pass through the tunnel.

"Perhaps only a Sovereign can break through forcefully with strength." Qin Tian concluded after he saw the tunnel.

"I want to go there." He then sent a voice transmission to the Yuan trio. And the three of them were immediately shocked when they heard his words.

"What." They said. "Young master, it is a very dangerous place. Even elders sometimes come back covered in wounds."

They look worried.

Of course, what they were worried about might be their own fate if he died there.

"Mm." Qin Tian had yet to respond to them and he suddenly turned his gaze towards Yue Yang. He saw that the young man suddenly gave off something that emitted an aura, and the aura then enveloped his body.

Under the protection of the aura, he who previously had a hard time moving near the tunnel suddenly was able to move very easily. He looked like he was swimming in still water.

"This brat really has something valuable." Qin Tian said in a low voice.

He then looked at the Yuan trio once again. "I will go now." He says.

He didn't care about their reactions. After saying that, he immediately swam towards the bottom of the river.

The other junior disciples were naturally shocked when they saw him swimming towards the bottom of the river. They then looked at the Yuan trio with puzzled expressions.

"Ehmmm." Yuan Ji cleared his throat.

"All of you immediately cultivate here. I remind you once again, don't go anywhere. If I see you guys dive any more than this, I won't hesitate to kill you." He said in a high tone. His eyes turned cold as he spoke.

After that, the Yuan trio immediately dived following Qin Tian.

"Servant, lead the way for us." Yuan Lu suddenly shouted as they swam.

Qin Tian who ordered him to say that because he didn't want those junior disciples to think anything strange about him. Because of that he made himself as if he was the cannon fodder used by the Yuan trio.

As the Yuan trio followed Qin Tian, they were immediately shocked when they saw Qin Tian could actually move more easily in the water than they could.

Of course, Qin Tian was able to move more easily not because of his strength, but because he knew the structure of the place.

With his past experience as an extremely powerful Paragon, there weren't many tricks he couldn't solve as long as they were below the level of his past life.

And with the Primordial God Body, only he alone knew how strong his perception was now.

The reason why he had rushed into the tunnel was because he was now sure that there was a weapon down there.

And of course, it was also because he could feel something better inside the tunnel.

Qin Tian stopped swimming when he arrived in front of that tunnel. He was waiting for Yuan Ji and the other two.

He then spoke to them when they finally arrived in front of him

"You three wait here, I'll go inside. Don't leave until I get out. And don't let anyone come near." He says.

After saying that, he immediately swam into the tunnel.

Boom...

His body then erupted with a gray spiritual aura.

He was still holding back his aura, but the slight aura emitted from his body was enough to help him move with great ease.

Shua...

He swam pretty fast. The current in front of the tunnel couldn't stop him.

The water in the tunnel was actually very dark, but he could still see quite clearly.

Advertisements

The tunnel was not very deep, and at the end of it he saw a stone chamber.

Qin Tian immediately swam to it when he saw the stone chamber.

He arrived in front of the stone chamber not long after, and he discovered that the water in the tunnel had actually stopped at the end of the tunnel. The water cannot enter the stone chamber.

He then stepped into the stone chamber.

From within the tunnel, he could not see the stone chamber quite clearly. But after entering the stone chamber, he was immediately surprised by what was there.

At the end of the stone chamber, he found a hundred other tunnels lined up neatly.

"I wonder which fool made all this?"

"But looking at the structure of the tunnels, they shouldn't have been made by humans."

"And." He then narrowed his eyes.

"Looks like I have to make a breakthrough first."

It wasn't that he had a bad feeling, but he felt that his current strength wasn't enough to pass through the tunnel.

He was now at the pinnacle of the spiritual apprentice realm, breaking through to the realm of spiritual warriors for him was just about condensing one more spiritual source.

Ding.

"Congratulations, you have successfully broken through to the realm of spiritual warriors."

"No new skills were opened."

"The Longevity Scripture and Iron Dragon Fist are upgraded to the second stage."

"The game shop has opened. You can use your spiritual energy to purchase items in the game shop."

Spiritual Energy: 3900 (Note: 100 spiritual energies can be converted into 1 spiritual source. The speed of converting spiritual energy into spiritual sources depends on the player's talent.)

After his cultivation broke through to the spiritual warrior realm, he could feel his strength increasing drastically even though his spiritual source only increased by 1 spiritual source.

1 spiritual source in the Spiritual Apprentice realm and 1 spiritual source in the Spiritual Warrior realm are clearly very different.

But he was too lazy to pay attention to the statistics.

After opening his eyes, he immediately glanced at the new feature that had appeared on the virtual screen which was the game shop.

There were many items being sold in the shop, but most of them were cultivation items.

Of course, there were a few items that took him by surprise.

There is an item that can help hide nicknames from other players, and there is even an item that can help completely hide the identity so that the player who uses it will look like an NPC.

"Mm." Qin Tian's eyes immediately widened when he saw a certain item.

He was surprised when he saw what the item could do.

(Can help awaken a innate weapon.)

Apart from body, bloodline, or soul, a person could also be born with a innate weapon.

The strength of the innate weapon might not be that strong when it was just awakened, but the strength of the innate weapon could be increased by making it refine other weapons.

Of course, the greatest advantage of a innate weapon was its compatibility with its owner.

And rumor has it that it can even fight on its own as its power grows stronger.

Qin Tian was immediately filled with desire the moment he saw the item. But he immediately calmed down when he saw the price of the item.

100,000 spiritual energy, and the price will increase again when he breaks through to the next realm.

That amount was basically the same as the spiritual energy he needed to reach the pinnacle of spiritual warriors.

"But no matter how expensive it is, I still have to buy it." Said Qin Tian in a low voice.

"Humph. I hope this place can help me gather 100,000 spiritual energy."

He then looked up at the tunnels in front of him. He looked at them one by one and in one of the tunnels he could see Yue Yang's footsteps.

"Um, son, I don't know if you can get through the tunnel, but you definitely won't be any faster than me."

After saying that, he then stepped into one of the tunnels.

Time passed quietly. One day later.

Cough... Cough... Cough...

Qin Tian coughed up blood countless times, and his body was also covered with many wounds.

"This really is a cursed place." He said while gritting his teeth.

Advertisements

He then turned his gaze around.

After a day in the tunnel, he finally arrived at the place.

As he looked around, he was immediately shocked when he saw that the place actually didn't look like a crypt. Rather, it looked more like a palace hall.

And when he looked inside the palace hall, his eyes immediately widened.

"Impossible, is it the son of an emperor?"

"This is beyond my estimation." Said Qin Tian.

Inside the palace hall, he saw a chest made of glass.

The glass chest was surrounded by five swords and five spears stuck on the floor. Unfortunately they didn't emit any aura so Qin Tian couldn't tell what level they were.

If they were imperial weapons, then it really was too extraordinary because even an emperor would need a lot of effort to make one imperial weapon.

But what caught his eye was the figure inside the glass chest.

It was a fat boy who looked like he was only 10 years old.

His face was very cute, but he had a pair of wings on his back and two horns on his head.

What took Qin Tian by surprise when he looked at the fat boy was because he saw a symbol on the fat boy's forehead.

Heaven.

The word Heaven in gold ink was clearly written on his forehead.

Advertisements

And it also emitted a great aura that Qin Tian had dreamed of, whether it was in the past or now.

"Emperor aura."

You know, a child born before an emperor gets Heaven's Will cannot be considered an emperor's son.

Of course, it was very difficult to find emperors who had children before they obtained Heaven's Will. After all, before obtaining Heaven's Will, everyone who wanted to become emperor was very busy with cultivation.

But compared to that, finding the emperor who had children after they obtained Heaven's Will was even more difficult.

First, it was because it wasn't easy for a woman to give birth to an emperor's child.

It was said that if an emperor wanted to have children, their partner also had to be very strong. Finding someone as strong as the emperor in the sixteen heavens was definitely impossible. But at the very least, that woman was an extremely powerful ancient god.

Of course, that wasn't what made many emperors childless in the end.

The biggest reason why almost all emperors were childless was that the existence of an emperor's child was almost forbidden by heaven.

It is said that when the emperor's child is born, there will be a thunderbolt of tribulation that will fall to kill the child. Not only would they kill the child, but they would also kill the mother of the child.

Most of the emperors did not have the ability to overcome the tribulation lightning so they would prefer not to have children in the end.

However, several brilliant emperors were said to have a way of dealing with such tribulation lightning.

Seeing that fat boy, Qin Tian couldn't help but walk towards him.

To his surprise, the fat boy who was sleeping suddenly opened his eyes as he approached him.

Shua...

His eyes emitted a golden glow with a majestic aura. But the light seemed unable to penetrate the glass chest.

After that, he suddenly stood up.

His body was still small so that the glass chest was still taller than his body.

As he stood up, his gaze immediately fell towards Qin Tian.

Seeing how easily he stood up, Qin Tian guessed that he might have been sober for a long time.

Even though his face was very cute, but the arrogant expression he showed was something Qin Tian had never seen even though he had met many young masters who were extremely arrogant.

Of course, he was not that surprised because he had heard some ancient gods say that the children of the emperor were the most arrogant among the most arrogant. They were even more arrogant than their own parents.

But the words that came out of the fat boy's mouth made Qin Tian want to cough up blood in anger.

"At last someone has arrived. This prince has been waiting here for millions of years." He spoke to himself before he spoke to Qin Tian.

"Son, you are lucky to meet this prince. Now quickly kowtow to this prince, and this prince will make you a servant."

His tone sounded soft but it was filled with arrogance.

Qin Tian's face immediately turned green when he heard his words.

In his past life, he almost became a heavenly emperor.

When he was a Paragont, even the ancient gods always spoke kindly to him.

Although the children of the emperor had a very noble status, but he was not a soft persimmon either.

Besides, he now possessed the Primordial God Body of which there was only one in the entire universe. Saying that he was a child of heaven itself might not be an exaggeration.

"Hmph." He finally snorted coldly. "Son, don't think because you are the son of the emperor you can speak to me in that tone."

"Do you think the status of the emperor's son is better than this nobleman?" He says.

He even spoke like himself in his past life.

And of course, the fat boy immediately jumped up with a shocked expression when he heard his reply.

Hia golden eyes widened and hisnmouth was also wide open.

"Son, how dare you speak with such a tone to me. Do you know who my father is. He is the Heaven-Swallowing Dragon Emperor. Kowtow, son."

As he spoke, the symbol on his forehead emitted even more golden light with a majestic aura.

Qin Tian knew that if it weren't for that glass chest, the aura of that light might be able to be felt by the experts out there.

Advertisements

What made the children of the emperor unique was that they were born with an emperor bloodline that basically contained the power of Heaven's Will.

Because of this, they had the same abilities as the imperial weapons or treasures and objects the emperor had touched, i.e. they could release the 'emperor aura'.

"Heaven-Swallowing Dragon Emperor."

Qin Tian was immediately shocked when he heard the name of the emperor that the boy had mentioned.

Heaven-Swallowing Dragon Emperor.

His name was quite famous because he was the first known emperor.

But there are not many stories about him. He wasn't human, and no one knew how strong he was. There are only legends that say that he is a dragon even though there is no evidence to prove it.

Not even his legacy remains.

If it weren't for his name that was too famous and mentioned by the emperors quite often, people might think that he was just a figure of legend.

If the story about him is almost non-existent, not to mention the origin. But there are rumors that say that he comes from an unknown ancient era.

It's hard not to be surprised after hearing the fat boy's words. Even the emperor, they would definitely be surprised if they heard what he said.

Qin Tian couldn't help but stare intently at the fat boy's body.

The two horns on his head and a pair of wings on his back made him wonder if the boy was also a dragon.

He also wondered how long the fat boy had been living in the glass chest.

Advertisements

If it was from the Heaven-Swallowing Dragon Emperor era, then it would really be a very long time ago. Even he wasn't sure how many million years had passed since that era.

On the other hand, the boy showed a satisfied smile as he saw the look of astonishment on Qin Tian's face.

"Hahahaha son, are you scared now. Unfortunately it's too late, you already made this prince angry. But this prince can forgive you as long as you kowtow for one year in front of this prince."

Qin Tian immediately recovered his expression after he heard his words.

"Don't think about it, fat brat. Even if your father was standing by your side, I still wouldn't kowtow to you." He says.

"You." His round eyes opened wide.

"Stop rambling on, kid. I know what you want, we can talk about it now. As long as it's mutually beneficial, of course." Qin Tian then spoke seriously.

He raised his palms as he spoke.

No matter how unreasonable that fat boy's attitude was, but as the emperor's son, there was no way he would be a fool.

It was said that every child of the emperor had intelligence equal to that of an adult ever since they were in the stomach.

And just as he predicted, the fat boy's expression calmed down immediately after he heard his words.

"Huh." He then snorted lightly. "I know you are not an ordinary person because you can enter the place arranged by my father."

"What is your name?" He suddenly asked.

"Qin Tian." Qin Tian replied casually. "And you?" He also asked.

"Long Pang."

Ding...

Name: Long Pang

Status: Important NPC.

(Note: Techniques you get from an important NPC don't require purchase.)

Ding...

"You accept two missions."

1. Become friends with Long Pang.

Reward: the system will help you awaken the innate weapons.

2. Make Long Pang your subordinate.

Reward: the system will help you solve one of your cultivation problems.

"..." Qin Tian

"Ehhmmm." He then cleared his throat.

After which, he then looked at Long Pang once again.

"I know what you want, you definitely want to get out of this place, right?" He asked.

"Yes, it's actually very simple. As long as you pull out those swords and spears, the seal that seals me will also be opened." The answer.

Qin Tian then looked at the sword and spears.

"Huh." He sighed. "Even though the weapons have lost their spiritual power, but I know that I don't even hold their weight with my strength right now." He says.

"That's right. You're still too weak. They are all imperial weapons."

Qin Tian immediately frowned after he heard that those weapons were truly imperial weapons.

The average emperor only left two or three imperial weapons for their sect or clan, but there were ten of them here. It was hard for Qin Tian not to be surprised.

Even though these weapons had lost their imperial spirituality, they were still imperial weapons. Every imperial weapon was made of the most valuable materials in the sixteen heavens.

In reality, even a Saint was not strong enough to lift an imperial weapon. They can only lift the imperial weapons if they had tied their spirituality so that their spirituality obeys their orders.

The ancient saints might be able to carry their weight, but whether they could swing them still depended on how strong they were.

"But what can you give me if I help you?" Qin Tian then asked.

"What, do you think I won't pay you?" The fat boy's tone got high once again.

"Also, can you even help me with that weak power of yours. Hmph, I really can't wait any longer."

"I certainly have a way I can count on." Qin Tian replied.

For example, if he could obtain items that contained the 'emperor aura', he could rely on that to draw those swords and spears from the ground.

"But I wonder what would happen if those swords and spears were pulled from there?" He then asked.

Advertisements

There was no way nothing would happen when a formation involving ten imperial weapons was opened.

Even when the emperor tried to shrink the formation zone, it was still very wide in the eyes of ordinary people.

"Ehmm." The fat boy suddenly cleared his throat.

He looked like he wanted to speak, but his mouth couldn't make a sound.

"Say it!" Said Qin Tian.

The fat boy's expression finally turned irritated. "Son, are you scolding me. Even my father never spoke to me in that tone."

"You're the one too whiny." Qin Tian replied.

"Hmph."

"Aren't you going to say?"

"Okay, okay. You must know there are a lot of mountains above this place, right?"

"The mountains are"

"You mean?" Qin Tian interrupted his words because he could immediately understand what he meant.

The Thousand Mountains Province is called by that name because of the many mountains in the province. And most of those mountains are not ordinary mountains.

Most of the sects in the province used the name mountain in their sect name precisely because their sect mountain was the foundation of their sect.

Like the Split Mountain sect which had rivers which were spiritual springs, the mountains of the other sects also had similar things.

Advertisements

Now he suddenly realized that all of that might have come from the formation here.

"What will happen to those mountains if this formation is opened?" Qin Tian then asked even though he had already guessed the answer.

"You can't even guess." The fat boy sneered. "Of course, the mountains will collapse."

"What? Are you going to cancel our cooperation just because of that?"

"Dont worry." Qin Tian replied. "I'm not that good. But I need some time before I can do it."

"But the question is; what will you give me?"

"Hmph. Don't you see those imperial weapons, I can give you some if you help me."

"Of course, you should give me some, but what about now? My aim in coming here is to increase my strength."

"What do you want?" The fat boy was starting to look annoyed.

"Mm, I wish to cultivate using this formation core." Qin Tian replied.

That formation can produce many spiritual springs that eventually become the foundation of many sects even though millions of years have passed.

Even though he hadn't seen it, Qin Tian knew that it was an extremely valuable cultivation treasure.

Of course, he would not consider it valuable if it only produced many spiritual springs.

But he knew that these spiritual springs were only a small part of the formation.

The purpose of the formation, however, was to protect Long Pang from the tribulation lightning.

Something even the emperor could not endure, but it could withstand it. There may not be many such cultivation treasures in the sixteen heavens.

"Hmph." Long Pang suddenly snorted. "Of course, I know what you want."

"Then where is it?" Qin Tian asked.

"You won't be able to find it with your weak strength."

"But I will be generous to help you."

"Oh." Qin Tian looked at the fat boy with an astonished expression.

"Ehmmm. Why is your expression like that. Do you think this Prince is a cheapskate. Besides, this is also for my own benefit." He says.

"Touch this glass chest, and you can absorb the spiritual energy you want."

"Hah?" Qin Tian was shocked.

He then approached the glass casket before reaching out his hand to touch the glass casket.

As soon as he touched the glass chest, he immediately felt a flow of spiritual energy enter his body even though he had not started cultivation.

The spiritual energy was extremely pure, and he felt as if there was boundless spiritual energy in front of him.

"Hmph, country people like you have definitely never seen anything like that, right?"

Qin Tian didn't respond to his words but he secretly felt very amazed.

"Basically, things like this can only be found in those ancient places." Qin Tian said to himself.

He cultivated immediately after that.

Sometime after he started cultivating, he then started talking to Long Pang. Of course, this time he spoke in a sincere tone. His goal was naturally to become friends with him.

"By the way, aren't you lonely in this place?" He asked in a concerned tone.

"Hmph. We dragons are used to being lonely." He answered. And his answer made Qin Tian knit his brows.

"Are you really a dragon?"

"Of course. Do you think my father was just boasting when he used the word dragon on his title."

"But there are no dragons in sixteen heavens."

"It's only because of your very narrow horizons. How can a dragon be so easy to see."

"There is a rumor that your father is from an unknown era, is that true?"

As he asked that question, he could see Long Pang's expression change. But that was only for a moment.

"Son, you better not ask about it."

"The things relating to the unknown era are not something you should know about."

As he said that, a frightened expression flashed across his face for a brief moment.

Qin Tian immediately changed the subject after that.

As they continued to chat, their friendship level also grew.

About 40 minutes later. Long Pang suddenly shouted. "Stop, stop immediately. Damn, how much spiritual energy have you absorbed. Why can you absorb that much spiritual energy."

At this time, the amount of his spiritual energy already exceeded 50,000 spiritual energy.

Statistics.

Cultivation: Spiritual Warrior first layer / Spiritual Source: 101/200

Spiritual Energy: 51,450 (Note: 100 spiritual energies can be converted into 1 spiritual source. The speed at which spiritual energy converts to spiritual sources depends on the player's talent.)

Right after that, he found the glass chest stopped diverting spiritual energy. He finally smiled wryly.

"Why are you so stingy?" Qin Tian asked.

"Hmph, do you think I won't be affected when you absorb that spiritual energy."

"Huh, that can affect you too?"

"Of course. Why do you think I can survive until now."

"But can't you use that power to draw out those swords and spears?" He finally asked a question that puzzled him.

"You won't understand even if I tell you. You better not ask about this formation."

"By the way, how do you cultivate. You didn't even break through after absorbing so much spiritual energy."

"Didn't I tell you, I am unusual." Qin Tian replied with a mysterious smile.

"Hmph, go now, I want to go back to sleep. I hope you can come back as soon as possible."

Not long after, Qin Tian left that palace hall and returned to the tunnel.

Advertisements

Right after he stepped into the tunnel, he suddenly received a notification from the system.

Ding...

"You made friends with Long Pang."

"Congratulations, you have completed the mission. Reward have been sent to your inventory."

Qin Tian smiled faintly when he saw that.

"Now I can even awaken a innate weapon."

Qin Tian then looked back but he didn't see the palace hall anymore. There was a wall of energy blocking his view.

"But to make that boy my subordinate."

Qin Tian shook his head with a wry smile as he thought that.

He had experience gathering subordinates, and in order to make those geniuses his subordinates, he had even forgotten how much effort he had to put in.

But that fat boy is the son of an emperor. No matter how Qin Tian thought about it, he couldn't find a way to make him submit to him. Even an emperor might not be able to make him submit. After all, his father was also an emperor.

"Huh, now's not the time to think about that." He quickly threw away his thoughts.

"Now I better use that right away." He then looked at his game inventory.

The awakening of the innate weapon would usually create a fairly large phenomenon.

Advertisements

Although he would awaken his innate weapon with the help of the system, he was not too sure it would help mask the phenomenon that would occur when he awakened his built-in weapon. After all, this time it wasn't like before when he awakened the Primordial God Body.

The Primordial God body was something he had bought with real money, but this one item was an original part of that game system.

That gaming system would probably make things look natural.

Because of that, he wanted to use the item in this place because this place was completely isolated by the formation.

"Okay, let's start now." He took a deep breath before clicking the item.

Ding.

"Please choose the weapon you want."

Bow

Spear

Sword

Etc.

Looking at the list of options that appeared in front of him, Qin Tian didn't think much. He immediately chose a bow.

In his past life, although he always carried a sword and sometimes several swords, he always used a bow when he attacked. The swords he was carrying were in reality only used as arrows.

And now that he had developed the power of lightning, the bow naturally suited him more and more.

Although lightning power users usually fight head-on, it can also be used to attack from a distance. The combination between bow and lightning is undoubtedly one of the most terrifying of all.

Ding.

"Orders accepted."

Boo...

Right after that, his body erupted with an inconceivable aura so that the tunnel trembled slightly.

Of course, it was because the tunnel was too strong. If he was outside now, the burst of aura on his body would be enough to blow up a mountain.

At this moment, Qin Tian could feel his entire body boiling. His blood was flowing faster while his body's spiritual energy looked like they were on a rampage.

Spiritual aura continued to flow out from his body.

And around him suddenly appeared hundreds of shadows of various colors and they all had the form of weapons consisting of swords, spears, and so on.

Obviously it was just what Qin Tian had expected. If not for that place, that phenomenon would have covered the sky within a hundred kilometers radius.

Break...

His clothes suddenly tore, and as that happened, his chest suddenly gave off a dark gray light. After that, the image of a gray bow appeared on his chest.

At the same time, Qin Tian's cultivation had also drastically improved.

He immediately broke through to the second layer of spiritual warriors and it didn't stop there.

The third layer of spiritual warriors.

The fourth layer of spiritual warriors.

The fifth layer of spiritual warriors.

He experienced four breakthroughs before stopping.

He did not condense the spiritual energy stored in his body. Rather, they were pure breakthroughs that had occurred due to the effects of awakening an innate weapon.

"Congratulations on breaking through to the second layer of Spiritual Warriors. You get 1000 game points equivalent to 1000 spiritual energy."

Qin Tian didn't pay much attention to his stats and cultivation. The current gaze continued to be fixed on his chest.

After his cultivation broke through, the bow image on his chest suddenly moved. It does not move sideways or upward, on the contrary, it moves forward.

As Qin Tian continued to stare at him, the bow image finally shot out of his chest.

It moved slowly, but Qin Tian couldn't wait. He then used his hand to pull the bow from his chest.

Boom...

His body erupted once again as the bow was pulled from his chest. And at this time, the bow finally appeared before Qin Tian's eyes.

"The innate weapon, I finally have you too." Said Qin Tian in a low voice.

Holding the bow did not give him the feeling as if he was touching an object, on the contrary, he felt as if he was touching his own body.

It was hard for Qin Tian to hold back his excitement when he saw the bow. He felt like he wanted to scream out to vent his joy.

"Huh."

Advertisements

After composing himself, he then pulled the bowstring.

The stronger the bow, the harder the string will be when it is pulled. But when he pulled his bowstring, he found that it was very weak. He felt as if he was pulling a rubber rope.

However,

Bang...

The moment he let go of the bowstring, the bow immediately let out a bang sound while the tunnel was also made to vibrate.

"Erm, even though this bow is still new, its strength is still way beyond my estimation." Said Qin Tian in a low tone.

He studied the bow for a few moments before putting it back into his chest.

The innate weapon is like the body itself, and it can continue to fuse with the body of its owner.

"Now even my cultivation has increased drastically, but this is still far from sufficient. I must reach the pinnacle of spiritual warrior soon."

Qin Tian didn't think much anymore, he immediately condensed the spiritual energy in his body.

With his current spiritual source, he needed another 499 spiritual sources to reach the pinnacle of spiritual warriors, and in order to create 499 spiritual sources, he had to condense 49,000 spiritual energy.

If it was another body, it would take him a lot of time to condense 49,000 spiritual energy, but luckily he had the Primordial God Body. While the other person takes a lot of effort, he can do it very easily.

Not long after, the sound of the system echoed in his mind.

"Congratulations on breaking through to the sixth layer of Spiritual Warriors. You get 1000 game points equivalent to 1000 spiritual energy."

"Ohhh, what tremendous power."

"And now that I can even fly, I hardly notice it." Qin Tian said as he looked at the soles of his feet which were floating in the air.

But even though he still had 2000 spiritual energy, he was no longer trying to cultivate.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but to break through to the realm of spiritual masters, it's not enough just to add one more spiritual source.

There is a lot to do, and they also require a lot of spiritual energy.

Qin Tian then turned his gaze to the game shop.

After a while of looking, he then bought two earth grade nirvana pills and two earth grade spiritual pills. Each of these pills cost 1000 game points / spiritual energy.

In order to reach that place, he had paid a very high price. All the pills he had obtained when he made breakthroughs in the realm of spiritual apprentice had been used up in those tunnels.

After buying those pills, he then bought an item that could hide his nickname. The item sells for 6000 game points / spiritual energy.

In order to make up for the shortage of game points, he had to pay with 2000 of his spiritual energy.

Now his game points were completely depleted and his spiritual energy was only 450 left.

As for the item that could completely hide the player's identity, it cost 50,000 game points / spiritual energy. Qin Tian doesn't have the ability to buy that item right now.

There is one other item that also catches Qin Tian's attention. It was an item that allowed players to change their appearance to the appearance of their real body.

It might not be an essential item, but for certain things, he might need it in the future.

The item's price was only 10,000 game points.

Qin Tian then looked forward.

There are several tunnels in front of it and they are all connected to each other.

There was really nothing in the tunnels, but precisely because that was why they were so terrifying. There were many traps in the tunnels, but almost of them all could not be seen with the naked eye.

Those who do not know the secrets of the tunnels will surely die if they try to pass through the tunnels.

The sect elders who entered the tunnels could in reality only explore a small part of the tunnels, and that was enough to make them leave with many injuries.

If the Heaven-Swallowing Dragon Emperor was the one who created the place, he obviously deliberately made it accessible to anyone, but well, not just anyone could enter it.

Everything in those tunnels was truly far beyond Qin Tian's predictions before he entered them.

He originally thought a Sovereign could break through the place, but now he realized that not even a Saint or even an Ancient Saint could pass through those tunnels that easily.

Even if it was a Paragon who entered them, they would not necessarily be able to reach the end of the tunnels because the traps in the tunnels only became stronger when the person who entered them was stronger.

"But they won't be able to threaten me again." Said Qin Tian with a confident smile.

After one day of passing through the tunnels, he had understood almost the entire structure of the tunnels. He knew where the traps of the tunnels were, and of course, he also knew how to make the pressure in the tunnels not suppress his movement.

He then stepped into one of the tunnels.

He initially just walked with a leisurely pace, but moments later, he started running.

"Yue Yang, I hope you are still alive." He says.

He naturally encountered Yue Yang as he explored the tunnels, but he had previously chosen not to meet him.

The last time he saw him, he was in a critical state because the treasure he was counting on had run out of strength halfway through.

Qin Tian didn't run too fast, but with his speed, he could cross the tunnels quite fast. Half an hour was enough for him to cross half of the tunnels.

Previously it took him one day and one night, it was because he moved very carefully. But now it's different.

About 45 minutes later, he could finally feel the human aura.

There was a small room in the wall of the tunnel he was passing right now.

There are actually several such rooms along the tunnels.

Perhaps it was because the man who created the tunnels was compassionate enough that he built them. Unlike in the tunnels, there are no traps in the rooms so that people who enter the tunnels can rest there.

Qin Tian then walked towards the room.

Inside the room, a young man covered in wounds sat in meditation.

The moment he entered the room, the young man immediately opened his eyes.

He looked confused at first but immediately showed a shocked expression.

Advertisements

"You." He said in a trembling voice due to the wounds on his body.

"Son, kowtow to me, make me a cup of wine, and light a cigarette for me, then call me master."

Qin Tian was not wordy, he immediately said his goal.

Yue Yang: '...'

Qin Tian chose to make Yue Yang a disciple because he wanted to help him revive the Yue clan.

Perhaps Yue Yang's talent couldn't be compared to that of his friend in his past life, but with the techniques he was going to impart to him, he was sure he could grow up well.

Of course, with his guidance, Yue Yang might be able to surpass his friend. After all, the current him was also different from the one he was in his past life.

Apart from that, he also expected a reward from the system.

In the mission list, there is also a mission to find disciples.

The higher the quality and background of the disciple received, the greater the prize he will get.

But the most important thing is; he can get more prizes when his disciples make great achievements.

Yue Yang was surprised by his presence and he only grew more and more shocked when he heard what he said.

Not only were his eyes wide open, his mouth was also wide open.

Advertisements

"You? Aren't you Yuan Ji's servant? Why are you here? How did you get to this place?" He finally asked.

But Qin Tian responded with the same words.

"Son, kowtow to me, make me a cup of wine, and light a cigarette for me, then call me master."

Yu Yang "..."

But this time he finally showed an angry expression. "Brat, don't joke with me." He said in a cold tone.

His eyes radiated killing intent as he stared at Qin Tian.

"Hehehehe." Qin Tian chuckled and shook his head.

"I never thought a little brat from the Nirvana Moon Yue clan would call me, son. How cute."

He even mentioned the full name of his clan. There were many Yue clans, but in those days, there was only one clan by the name of the Nirvana Moon Yue clan.

As he expected, the cold expression on Yue Yang's face immediately disappeared when he heard what he said.

"You? How do you know my clan?" He once again showed a surprised expression.

"If you want to know, then kowtow me." Qin Tian answered with a playful smile.

"Don't joke with me!" Yue Yang's expression changed rapidly. He again showed an angry expression. "You're just a servant, how dare you ask me to be your disciple. Are you crazy?"

"Son, watch your word." Qin Tian also started speaking in a serious tone.

He would have left the boy right away if it weren't for his serious desires.

And since he was serious, he naturally needed to point out a few things for him to believe.

Yue Yang still wanted to speak but before he could speak, Qin Tian suddenly moved towards him.

Whooss...

He moved like the wind, and in just an instant, he arrived in front of Yue Yang.

Before Yue Yang could even react, his right palm then dropped onto his face.

Bang...

It ended up slapping Yue Yang's left cheek.

Before Yue Yang's body could be blown away, he caught his hair, and then slammed his head against the ground so that he fell into a kowtow position.

After which, he stomped on his head with his foot.

"Well, how about now." Said Qin Tian with a playful smile.

Yue Yang's entire face was stuck to the ground, he naturally couldn't speak, but he was still able to answer via voice transmission.

"You? How is that possible?"

"What the impossible." Qin Tian replied.

"Now hurry up and make a decision! Hmph," he snorted. "If it weren't for your ancestors, do you think I would accept a wild brat like you as my student."

He was silent for a while before speaking again.

"Can you move your foot off my head first." He finally compromised.

Qin Tian then moved his feet off his head so that he could sit up.

His face looked messy but it couldn't cover the shocked expression on his face.

"Who exactly are you?" He finally asked.

"This is not the time for you to know, you will know for yourself in the future. Now, make a decision, are you going to make me your master?"

"But I already have a master." He answered.

"Hmph." Qin Tian immediately snorted when he heard the answer. "That useless sect master, how can he compare to me."

"You?"

"What? Do you want to defend him?"

After saying that, Qin Tian then raised his index finger.

A ball of light then appeared above his index finger.

"I'm sure you can make up your mind after seeing this." Said Qin Tian.

He then snapped his fingers, and the ball of light then flew towards Yue Yang's head. It then entered his head.

Yue Yang was immediately stunned, but a moment later, his face was filled with an expression of disbelief.

Advertisements

"This, how is this possible." He said in a trembling voice.

"I'll give you three seconds to decide. If..."

Thud...

Before Qin Tian finished speaking, he dropped his own head on the ground.

"Disciple greets master. I beg master to give me guidance." He said while he was kowtowing.

His palms clenched tightly as he spoke.

"Hm." Qin Tian smiled in satisfaction as he saw his reaction.

He wasn't surprised by his reaction because what he gave him was a cultivation technique created by the Yue clan ancient god.

"Now give me a cup of wine and light a cigarette for me, only then will you officially become my student." He says.

"Sorry master, I don't have wine and cigarettes." Yue Yang replied.

"Hmph." Qin Tian snorted in displeasure.

The reason he snorted was because he didn't receive confirmation from the system that he had accepted a disciple.

Obviously it was because the ceremony had not yet been held.

Maybe it doesn't apply to other people, but it only applies to him because he made the rules like that.

Advertisements

But even though he wasn't happy, he didn't plan to change the rules he had made. It was a rule passed down from generation to generation in his sect.

In his past life, he had done that to his master, and he wanted all of his disciples to do the same to him when they recognized him as their master.

"All right, follow me now." Qin Tian said as he turned around.

He then walked out of the room. He walked with his hands on his back.

In front of his disciple, he naturally needed to act like a great elder. Luckily he's the type with all kinds of personalities so he doesn't feel awkward.

Yue Yang then followed behind him, but he looked doubtful as he was about to step into the tunnel.

"Nothing happens as long as you are two steps behind me." Said Qin Tian.

After saying that, he continued walking forward.

"Master." Yue Yang said as he watched him walk towards the outside of the tunnel.

He clearly still wanted to enter the tunnel.

"You better not think about it anymore. If I leave you here, you will surely die." Qin Tian replied in an indifferent tone.

Qin Tian ignored him after that, and he continued to accelerate his pace.

Yue Yang didn't dare to ask again after that. Even though he still wanted to enter, he knew that he was only looking for death in there. If it weren't for the treasures he was carrying, he wouldn't even be able to reach that place.

Yue Yang obviously didn't go very deep in that tunnel. It was only a moment later before they returned to the previous stone chamber.

After returning to the stone chamber, he looked at the tunnels behind him for a few moments before heading to the tunnel connected to the river.

From there, he saw the Yuan trio still waiting for him.

More than 24 hours of time had passed, but it was clearly still not enough for junior disciples to finish their cultivation.

Qin Tian and Yue Yang immediately swam towards them.

Yue Yang followed behind Qin Tian in a polite manner while the Yuan trio looked confused whether they should be polite or arrogant because of Yue Yang's presence behind Qin Tian.

But Yue Yang did not react because on the previous trip Qin Tian had already said that the Yuan trio were his subordinates.

"From now on he is my disciple." Qin Tian said without being verbose.

He ignored the shocked expressions on the Yuan trio's faces, and he then asked. "Are they still long?" He stared at the junior disciples who were still cultivating.

Hearing Qin Tian's question, Yuan Ji quickly recovered his expression.

"If you want to leave now, I can stop them." Yuan Ji replied.

"No need." Qin Tian waved his hand.

"Just let them cultivate until they are finished."

After saying that, he then swam to a certain area of the river. Of course, he was moving where those junior disciples couldn't see.

He stopped at a location that had a lot of spiritual energy, and after that, he started meditating to absorb the spiritual energy around him.

Since there was still time left, he naturally wouldn't waste an opportunity.

About an hour later, he managed to gather 10,000 spiritual energy. His speed in absorbing spiritual energy is much faster at 15 spiritual energy per second, but unfortunately the spiritual energy available is not enough to meet his needs. He in the end could only absorb 2, 3, or 4 spiritual energy per second.

But until now, Qin Tian had still not discovered anything special from the Longevity Scripture even though it was already at the second stage.

Because he also participated in cultivation, the cultivation time in the river ended up faster because the spiritual energy there was depleted more quickly.

After that, Qin Tian and the others immediately returned to their respective residences.

Qin Tian naturally returned to the Yuan Ji residence.

But only moments after he returned, Yue Yang finally came to the Yuan trio's residence carrying a bottle of wine and a pack of cigarettes.

"Follow me." Qin Tian said before walking to his room.

He ignored the Yuan trio's confused reactions.

After entering his room, he immediately walked to the bed. He then sat on the edge of the mattress with his legs crossed.

"All right, now let's start the ceremony." He said in an indifferent tone.

"Em." Yue Yang walked towards Qin Tian and bowed before him.

He then poured the wine into a silver cup.

"Please accept my worship, master." He said in a respectful tone, and he then handed the silver cup to Qin Tian.

"Ha ha ha." Qin Tian chuckled inwardly.

He took the cup before pouring it into his mouth.

Without waiting for Yue Yang's reaction, he then stretched out his hand to pick up the cigarette box in Yue Yang's hand.

He took out a cigarette from the box and then placed it between his lips. "Now help me light this cigarette." Said Qin Tian.

Yue Yang didn't dare delay, he immediately took out one matchstick.

Crekk...

As the flames burned, he immediately helped Qin Tian light the cigarette in his mouth.

Whooss...

In an instant, Qin Tian's mouth let out a lot of smoke. His indifferent face also turned relaxed.

"Emmm."

He has just showing a relaxed expression, but in an instant, his expression changed once again. And this time, his expression turned very serious as if he was watching the sky collapse.

"Master." Yue Yang said with a confused expression.

Qin Tian paid no heed to his expression, and he immediately stood up before running towards the balcony of his room.

Upon arrival, he then jumped onto the roof of the mansion.

He saw the Yuan trio there playing cards.

The three of them were shocked by his sudden arrival. They wanted to say hello, but before they could do that, they seemed to sense something. They then turned their gaze to the sky.

Qin Tian also looked up at the sky.

In reality, it wasn't just him and the Yuan trio, but everyone who was outside the room. Probably everyone in the Dead Sea Territory.

Advertisements

Rumble...

The sky suddenly rumbled before turning into complete darkness so that most people couldn't see anymore.

And when the sky grew dark, suddenly a giant shadow flashed across the sky. It was not a person's shadow, but a thin, pale white hand.

The hand came from the west and it was heading towards the sky. It flew across the skies of the Dead Sea Territory.

"It comes from the Sea of Red Tears."

Rumble... Rumble... Rumble...

The hand continued to move towards the sky, and the sky continued to let out a roar as if it was about to collapse.

Seeing that, Qin Tian couldn't help but remember the times when he had fought for Heaven's Will.

However, in order to make the sky rumble like that, he had to at least release all of his strength.

But what happened at this time was only caused by a hand.

Perhaps only an extremely powerful ancient god could do that. But since it came from the Sea of Red Tears, it was definitely not the doing of an ancient god from the sixteen heavens.

There are many ancient places in the sixteen heavens, but there are 13 ancient places that are most famous. They are generally known as the Five Uninhabited Lands, the Four Ancient Burial Ground, Two Ancient Palaces, and Two Ancient Battlefields.

The Immortal Burial Ground and the Sea of Red Tears were two of the Four Burial Ground.

Those places had existed for a long time, even before the era of the sixteen heavens itself.

And until now, no one knows for sure the secrets of these places. Even among the emperors, perhaps only a few were clear about them.

Advertisements

One thing that was certain about those places was that they were so dangerous that even ancient gods didn't dare to act rashly there, and of course, they were also places with lots of treasures and opportunities.

A few moments later, the hand in the sky suddenly pulled back.

And when Qin Tian looked at the palm from that hand, he was immediately shocked because he saw that it was holding an island, or maybe a continent because his perception was not strong enough to determine how big it was.

Whooss...

The hand returned to where it had originated very quickly. It only took a moment before it disappeared.

After that, the sky brightened again as if nothing had ever happened.

Of course, no one thought that it was just an illusion because what they saw earlier was simply too real.

"Humph. Looks like the Dead Sea Territory will be volatile in the next few years." Qin Tian said with a sigh.

He was just talking, and suddenly there were several explosive sounds of aura echoing in the distance. They sounded from various directions but even people in the Spiritual Lord realm couldn't determine where they came from.

But there is one thing in common, they are all moving towards the west.

Qin Tian only shook his head without saying anything as he sensed their auras.

Those auras clearly belonged to the Ancient Saints and Paragons. There were only a few of them in the Xue Kingdom, and there was even only one Paragon there, but in the entire Shark God continent, their numbers could still be said to be quite a lot.

Of course, Qin Tian did not feel worried that he would miss this event. He was still too weak at the moment, and it wasn't a place where he could be involved. However, such events would usually last a very long time. And that's enough for him to grow strong.

A commotion immediately broke out in the sect, but Qin Tian headed straight back to his room. He entered through the balcony of his room, and there he saw Yue Yang was still stunned as he stared at the sky.

"Hmph, if you can reach the level of your ancestor, you can cause such a big disturbance too." He says.

Qin Tian's words woke him up from his reverie, he then looked at Qin Tian and asked. "Master, what exactly is it?"

"Ehmmm…" Qin Tian cleared his throat, and he then looked at Yue Yang with an unhappy expression. "You are only a small ant compared to the vast sixteen heavens, this is not the time you know the big things in this world." Said Qin Tian.

He didn't know what it was either, but, of course, he couldn't say that.

But what he said made Yue Yang pensive once again.

"Follow me, now is the time to give you your ancestral cultivation technique." Qin Tian spoke once again. He then entered his room.

Yue Yang caught up a moment later.

When he got to his bed, Qin Tian once again took out a cigarette from the cigarette box that had been left on his bed.

Previously he had immediately thrown away the cigarette that Yue Yang had just lit, so his student admission ceremony was still not considered over.

Yue Yang was smarter this time, before Qin Tian spoke, he had already lit a fire for Qin Tian.

Whooss...

This time Qin Tian did not hesitate, he finished the cigarette with one puff so that his room was immediately filled with cigarette smoke the moment he opened his mouth.

Ding...

"Congratulations, you have successfully accepted a disciple."

Name: Yue Yang

Talent: Has the bloodline of an ancient god. The blood line is very thin.

Status: None.

"Congratulations, you have obtained a hundred mortal grade weapons."

"You can choose the weapon you want."

Qin Tian then looked at Yue Yang with an expression of not knowing whether he wanted to laugh or cry.

Weapons are also divided into five levels, they start from mortal, earth, spirit, saint, and the last is imperial weapon.

Of course, compared to pills, weapons were much rarer due to their less materials and a much more difficult manufacturing process.

But weapons of mortal grade, they were weapons that didn't even have spirituality.

Compared to obtaining a hundred mortal grade weapons, he would be much happier if he could obtain one earth grade weapon.

In the end, he could only shake his head.

"Well, I hope you cultivate more diligently after this." He says.

Advertisements

As he said that, he pointed his index finger at Yue Yang's forehead. That index finger then let out a light which then flowed into Yue Yang's head. And it lasted for almost an hour.

Qin Tian was too weak, and Yue Yang was also still too weak so it took him a lot of time to send the information into Yue Yang's memory.

Yue Yang's expression immediately filled with excitement after he received all the information Qin Tian had given him.

"Now can you tell me what happened to your clan?" Qin Tian then asked. And his question made the excited Yue Yang change his expression once again. But this time he showed an expression of hatred.

"Xue Kingdom, it is they who had...

"What happened?" Qin Tian immediately asked when he saw Yue Yang's expression. He couldn't help but be surprised when he heard him mention the Xue Kingdom.

From Yue Yang's expression, he was definitely not the only remaining member of the Yue clan.

"Kreekk..." He gritted his teeth before answering. "Those who have detained my clan."

"There are only a few of us, and apart from me, they are all in the Xue royal prison."

"I managed to escape from there with the help of the formation set up by the elders."

"So they were captured by the Xue Kingdom. How did that happen?" Qin Tian asked.

But Yue Yang shook his head. "I don't know either. When I was born, I was already there. The elders didn't tell me about their past."

He then looked at Qin Tian with an expression full of hope. "Master, can you save them?"

"Ehmm." Qin Tian cleared his throat once again. And this time he showed a little angry expression. "Your clan elders are helping you escape because they hope you can save them in the future."

Advertisements

"I might be able to help you, but what about yourself. Where is your responsibility. It's not a matter of whether you can save them or not, but whether you can continue to grow strong."

"Only if you reach the level of your ancestors will you be able to restore the glory of your clan."

Inwardly Qin Tian couldn't help but ask himself. "Shit, was what I said correct?"

"But they may be keeping something so they are arrested." Qin Tian guessed.

"All right, now you can go. Leave me alone for a while." Said Qin Tian as he waved his hand towards the room door.

After Yu Yang left his room, Qin Tian did nothing but pacing around. He wanted to call Dina but the girl turned out to be offline.

He then put a hand on his chin and started thinking. "Now I need to unlock at least two divine symbols."

"Unlocking two of the nine divine symbols is very easy, but a lot of resources are required to do that."

"This sect clearly doesn't have the resources I need."

In that sect, there was only one cultivator in the Spiritual Lord realm, it is the sect master itself. With his talent, he might still only awaken nine divine symbols. Qin Tian is sure he hasn't opened any of his divine symbols yet. If he could truly unlock just one divine symbol, the sect's status would definitely be one level higher than now.

"Erm, Yang Ming." As he was thinking, he suddenly thought of Yang Ming.

"Maybe I should visit the boy."

Not long after, he headed over to the outer court disciple's place. He left using the eagle provided by the Yuan trio. And he went to wear junior disciple clothes.

It didn't take long before he arrived above the outer court disciples settlement.

But when he got there, he was a little surprised when he saw a lot of people gathered in the residential square.

Not only outer court disciples, there were even quite a number of junior disciples there. There were even some senior disciples.

In the middle of them, there were three large stones and on top of each of them, were two people who were fighting.

"Is this some kind of competition?"

Qin Tian then observed the people below. After discovering the whereabouts of Yang Ming and the others, he immediately deployed the eagle he was riding towards them.

People stared at him when he came, but most of them didn't make any reaction. They only stared at him briefly before turning their gaze back.

Only Yang Ming and the others looked at him with enthusiastic expressions.

Qin Tian then jumped towards them.

When he just arrived in front of them, Yang Ming immediately came over to pat him on the shoulder.

"Bro, where have you been. I thought you were in trouble." Said Yang Ming.

Qin Tian scanned Yang Ming's body and found that the man's cultivation had already reached the fourth layer of spiritual apprentice.

Being able to move up one layer after a few days meant that he had cultivated quite well there.

"Dont worry." Qin Tian answered. "Nothing happened to me. I'm busy helping the Yuan brothers."

"What are they doing, anyway?" He then asked while staring at the three stones in the middle of the crowd.

"A senior disciple suddenly came and held this competition. He promised to give a prize to the winner." Yang Ming replied while staring at a certain location.

There, Qin Tian saw a young man sitting on a chair that looked like a throne. His cultivation was at the fifth layer of spiritual warriors.

The young man was surrounded by many youths, and he was staring at the people who were fighting on the stones.

What made Qin Tian surprised was; he saw Chu Zhen among them. Of course, he was in the very back row. And he was currently staring at him with cold eyes.

(Maybe you forgot who Chu Zhen is. You can turn to chapter 14 to remember.)

"What's the prize?" Qin Tian asked.

"A spiritual dragon fruit." Yang Ming replied.

"However, to enter this competition, we have to pay a heavy price. Whoever wins will take it all."

Qin Tian immediately shook his head upon hearing that.

"Do you want to enter the competition?" Qin Tian asked once again.

"It's too expensive."

"I can help you pay."

"What." Not only Yang Ming, the others were also shocked.

Advertisements

"Do you have a lot of treasure now, brother Qin?" Yang Ming asked.

But after saying that, he immediately shook his head.

"They are all already in the fifth layer. Each of them can easily beat me. You know, my fighting power is also weaker than the people in this continent. I will only be looking to die if I enter that competition." Said Yang Ming.

"Hehe." But Qin Tian responded with a mysterious smile.

Yang Ming looked at Qin Tian in surprise, but Qin Tian didn't say anything more after that.

He then looked at the people who were fighting on top of the stones.

The competition didn't actually have any rules. Anyone who feels strong can step up to challenge the winner. And whoever survives until the end until no one challenges anymore will be deemed the winner.

And Qin Tian waited for that person to appear.

Since that senior disciple dared to set up such a competition, he clearly had a henchman he could count on to win the competition so he could take all the prizes for himself.

But Qin Tian won't let that happen.

It wasn't that he was a kind-hearted person so he didn't let the weak be oppressed, but seeing that there was an opportunity to take advantage of someone like that senior disciple, he naturally wouldn't miss that opportunity.

But he had no interest in watching the fight between little brats in the realm of spiritual apprentices, because of that, he ended up choosing to close his eyes while leaning on the hilt of the sword he always carried with him.

The cheers of many people around him didn't bother him.

Advertisements

About an hour later, the place calmed down.

"Who else wants to fight me? Doesn't anyone else dare to come forward?" Someone suddenly shouted from the middle of the crowd.

Hearing what that person said, Qin Tian immediately opened his eyes.

At this moment there is only one person left. The person was standing on one of the stone platforms. It was a stone platform in the middle.

It was a young man who was very young among the people there. He was probably only 15 years old.

From what he had heard from the people around, that young man was called Lin Zhen and he was one of the most promising disciples among the outer court disciples.

Compared to Yang Ming and the others who were two years older than him but had lesser cultivation than him, he could indeed be considered quite talented. But if he was compared to Yue Yang who was already in the fourth layer of spiritual warriors when he was only 17 years old, he was truly far behind.

But in terms of arrogance, he seemed to be one level above Yue Yang.

"Is this all you can do? Really, it's really boring." He continued screaming so that the faces of the outer court disciples turned green with anger.

Of course, there were still some who looked at him in awe. They were clearly his followers among the outer court disciples.

But the junior disciples who were there were looking at him with expressions of disgust as if they were looking at a dancing clown.

Qin Tian then looked at Yang Ming who was standing right beside him.

Sensing a gaze from him, Yang Ming immediately turned his gaze towards him. He looked at him with a questioned expression, but he responded by moving his hand towards his back.

Yang Ming naturally paid no heed to the movement of his hand towards his back as he didn't feel anything strange about it.

However, when Qin Tian's palm actually landed on his back, he was immediately shocked as he felt as if he was being hit by a tornado.

Whooss...

He didn't have time to react and his body was already thrown towards the stone platform where Lin Zhen was.

And he finally landed steadily right in front of Lin Zhen.

Everyone was shocked by his arrival.

Even though Qin Tian had thrown him there, but he didn't look like he had been thrown, instead he looked as if he had jumped there himself.

"Who is he? He is still at the fourth layer, how dare he challenge young master Lin." Lin Zhen's followers began to speak.

"This man must be looking to die."

"Oh, can he even pay the fees to enter this competition."

"People are getting crazier nowadays. For the sake of getting attention, they don't even mind being a joke in people's eyes. This guy is definitely one of them."

While people were still shocked, Qin Tian then stepped forward.

Several people had already noticed him because they saw the previous Yang Ming was right beside him.

When he finally arrived in front of the stone stage, he then spoke.

"He will challenge you." He said as he looked at Lin Zhen.

He took out a small bag as he spoke.

After finishing speaking, he then threw the bag towards the senior disciple who had held the competition.

The senior disciple also looked at him in surprise. He then spoke. "Are you sure?"

"Sure, no problem, right?" Qin Tian replied.

He didn't answer right away, but looked at the people around him with a questioning expression. Obviously he was curious about Qin Tian's identity.

Several outer court disciples who were in the vicinity immediately advanced to explain. Of course, the information they provided was limited to his status as Yuan Ji's servant.

However, at the same time, Chu Zhen also stepped forward while saying "I know who he is."

Because of his words, he was finally allowed to approach the senior disciple. And he immediately explained Qin Tian's background to him.

After which, he looked at Qin Tian with a sneer.

Of course, he didn't mention Qin Tian's friendship with Prince Xue.

After knowing Qin Tian's identity, the senior disciple chuckled for a moment while he shook his head.

Advertisements

He then looked at Qin Tian with a condescending look. "Well, anyone can enter this competition. Even if you also want to participate, I can allow you." He says.

Even though Qin Tian was a junior disciple, it was clear that he considered Qin Tian the same as any other outer court disciple.

"Well, this competition doesn't suit me. He's enough for this competition!" Qin Tian replied as he looked at Yang Ming.

Z z z z z z z z...

After hearing Qin Tian's words, Lin Zhen immediately looked at Yang Ming with a sinister smile. "At least you dare to go forward. Although you are also trash in my eyes, but you are definitely a better trash than any other trash." He says.

On top of the stone platform, Yang Ming still looked very confused as he looked around.

"I." He said in a doubtful tone when he heard what Lin Zhen said.

But the brat clearly paid no heed to Yang Ming's reaction.

He carried a sword, and he then pointed his sword at Yang Ming.

"Because of your courage, I will pay you a little respect. Now I will give you three chances to attack me first, and I will only block your attacks with my scabbard." He said with a confident expression. But her words were clearly meant to belittle Yang Ming.

He looked at the senior disciple as he spoke, and the senior disciple only smiled casually.

Yang Ming wasn't angry even though he was insulted, on the contrary, he still looked confused.

Qin Tian who saw that could only sigh.

He then sent a voice transmission to Yang Ming. "Fight that brat! Don't worry, you will definitely win."

As he said that, his spiritual sense moved towards Yang Ming and it enveloped his body.

Through his spiritual sense, he then sent his spiritual energy into Yang Ming's body.

As Yang Ming stared at him, he was immediately stunned as he felt the strength in his body suddenly increase dramatically. "How could it be." He says.

He didn't hide his words so that people could hear what he was saying. Of course, none of them understood the meaning of his words.

"How about now, are you still afraid?" Qin Tian asked.

"Son, do you want to fight or not?" Lin Zhen asked as he saw Yang Ming still motionless to attack him.

"If you're afraid, hurry up and admit your defeat before I hit you in the face."

As a country person growing up in an orphanage, Yang Ming didn't have too much insight.

He might be able to withstand the humiliation when the enemy was stronger than him, but once he had the strength, he didn't think too much of it anymore.

When he heard what Lin Zhen said, he immediately became furious. To be called by the word son by someone younger was clearly an insult that could not be bore for anyone.

"Brat, I'll beat you up." He is screaming.

After which, he immediately ran towards Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen, who heard Yang Ming's words, looked even more disdainful.

"Well, you can hit me." He says.

He then held onto his sword as if he were holding a shield. And he even turned his gaze the other way as Yang Ming dashed towards him.

"Hmph, don't cry after I hit you." Yang Ming then jumped at him. The jump was so powerful that the stone platform was made to vibrate.

The people were stunned when they saw that, but it wasn't enough to make them believe in Yang Ming.

Although Lin Zhen was shocked, his arrogance made him continue to underestimate Yang Ming. He then raised his sword slightly upward when he saw Yang Ming coming from above.

"I hope your punch is as strong as your big body." He says.

"Hmph." Yang Ming snorted. He immediately sent his fist at him. To be more precise towards the sword he was using as a shield.

No one paid much attention to what Yang Ming was doing. Almost everyone there thought Yang Ming's actions were pointless, and he would immediately lose after that.

However,

Bang...

The moment Yang Ming's fist hit the sword, it was immediately blown away. But Yang Ming's fists were still moving towards Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen didn't even have time to react before Yang Ming's fist hit his chest.

Cough...

He immediately coughed up blood, and his body was immediately slammed against the stone platform he was stepping on.

Bang...

And it even caused the stone platform area where he was located to crack.

He finally lay limp with his mouth covered in blood.

But Yang Ming didn't attack him again after that. He took a few steps back, and astonishedly looked at his fist that had just hit Lin Zhen's chest.

"Impossible…" The people watching on the side were so shocked that they almost fell.

Even the senior disciple who was sitting casually in his chair couldn't help but jump.

A combat power that surpassed the level of cultivation was not something strange even among outer court disciples, but no one believed that Yang Ming who wasn't even from that continent could possess such strength.

Yang Ming's friends also looked at Yang Ming with astonished expressions. They had fought Yang Ming countless times while they were training, but Yang Ming was definitely not that strong at the time.

Unfortunately no one could realize that it was Qin Tian who was helping Yang Ming.

"God damn it." Lin Zhen immediately shouted in an angry tone after he woke up. He wiped the blood from his mouth before standing up.

His eyes turned red as he stared at Yang Ming.

He then drew his sword from its sheath before running towards Yang Ming.

After arriving about three meters from Yang Ming, he then jumped up while slashing his sword at Yang Ming.

"Die..." he shouted.

"Hmph." Yang Ming who was staring at his fist immediately shifted his gaze as he noticed Lin Zhen's arrival. He snorted before he took out an extremely thick iron staff. And he then swung the iron staff towards Lin Zhen who had arrived in front of him.

In truth, although the iron staff that Yang Ming took out was very thick, it was actually not as strong as it seemed. It was made of ordinary iron and it was the worst type among all mortal tier weapons.

If it met Lin Zhen's sword which had enough quality, even if Yang Ming was stronger, his iron staff might not be able to withstand the sharpness of Lin Zhen's sword. It was good enough if it just ended up crooked, but there was a high chance that it would split in two.

How ugly Yang Ming's iron staff could be seen even by those without sharp eyes.

Because of that, Lin Zhen smiled disdainfully as he looked at Yang Ming's iron staff.

Unfortunately Qin Tian would not allow something like that to happen.

While Lin Zhen was still smiling, he was suddenly shocked when he saw the iron staff. As that iron staff was swung by Yang Ming, it caused even the air it passed through to compress as if there was pressure pressing down on them.

And Lin Zhen also found his sword started to tremble.

The punches from Yang Ming that he had received earlier angered him so much that he didn't think much as he charged towards Yang Ming, but as he stared at Yang Ming's face once again, he suddenly felt extreme fear. He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt as if he wasn't facing a Spiritual Apprentice.

Whooss...

Yang Ming didn't stop just because Lin Zhen had changed his expression, his iron staff was still heading towards Lin Zhen.

Advertisements

Bang...

The iron staff collided with Lin Zhen's sword, and the sword immediately flew far away because Lin Zhen could not endure it.

Only after seeing that, only then did Lin Zhen become fully aware of the difference in their strength.

"No, stop it, I give up, I admit defeat." He is screaming.

Unfortunately he was late speaking, the iron rod had already hit his head.

Bang ...

His face immediately twisted in half the moment it was hit by Yang Ming's iron staff, and after that, his body was thrown so far that he passed through the crowd of onlookers.

Of course, it was because Qin Tian restricted the power he sent to Yang Ming's body so that Lin Zhen could still live.

But the battle ended very quickly. People couldn't even understand what was going on, and Lin Zhen had already disappeared from their sight.

Qin Tian then looked at the senior disciple. He was currently still stunned as he stared at Yang Ming. And he only shifted his gaze when he felt Qin Tian's gaze.

"Can he be considered the winner now, senior brother?" Qin Tian asked with an innocent smile.

Even though the voice was low, but everyone in the place could hear what he was saying. And that caused them to stare at the senior disciple with a curious expression.

They wondered if he would just give up.

But if he wanted to fight fairly, they weren't sure if any of the other outer court disciples were strong enough to face Yang Ming.

With Yang Ming's current strength, even junior disciples might not be able to beat him. Of course, junior disciples are not allowed to enter the competition. It was a rule made by the senior disciple himself.

After being stared at by many people, the senior disciple finally calmed his stunned expression.

But what surprised people was; After calming his expression, he suddenly threw a small bag at Yang Ming. "He's the winner." He said in a low tone.

But even though he said that in a low voice, everyone there could feel anger from his tone.

He then looked at Qin Tian. "Your name is Qin Tian right? Remember this, Bai Yi is my name. I hope you can continue to remember this name."

After saying that, he immediately turned around.

There was an eagle waiting behind his chair, and he then jumped onto the eagle's back. And the eagle flew off immediately after that.

Seeing his leave, people sighed, but Qin Tian only chuckled casually.

He didn't care even if Bai Yi was stronger than him, not to mention the fact that he was much weaker than him.

Qin Tian knew that he definitely wouldn't let him go. But he was also too lazy to deal with him.

After he returned to the Yuan trio's residence later, he planned to order the Yuan trio to cause some trouble to Bai Yi.

Yang Ming then returned to his side as people started to leave.

He looked at the bag in his hand with a confused expression. And he looks even more confused when he looks at him.

"Just keep it, there are plenty of cultivation resources within. With those resources, you will definitely be able to break through to the realm of spiritual warriors in the near future as long as you train hard." Said Qin Tian as he tapped his shoulder.

"By the way." He then showed his index finger. Above his index finger suddenly appeared a small ball of light.

"You can definitely practice more easily using this."

After saying that, he then snapped his fingers, and the ball of light immediately flew towards Yang Ming's forehead.

He gave Yang Ming some techniques, and he even allowed Yang Ming to share some of them with other people.

The reason why he helped Yang Ming obtain resources was because he was planning to go on an adventure. And he probably won't return to the sect for quite a long time.

At least before he could help Long Pang, he didn't plan to return to the sect.

Advertisements

What he needed now were cultivation resources, and he needed to venture to certain places to obtain them.

Even though he had one clone, but he also couldn't keep relying on that clone because it also required cultivation resources to grow stronger.

Even at this time, that clone had already used up a lot of the cultivation resources of the Spear Mountain Bandit group. But luckily he was the son of the bandit group leader so they didn't mind giving him more cultivation resources.

He returned to the Yuan trio's residence moments later, and when he returned, he immediately ordered them to help him out of the sect.

Qin Tian didn't leave right away. After giving the Yuan trio a few orders, he returned to the real world first.

The moment he walked out of the capsule, he could feel 900 spiritual energies appearing in his body. If he condensed all of them, he would obtain 9 more spiritual sources which meant he would reach the pinnacle of the first layer of Spiritual Apprentice.

The reason why he returned to the real world was because he wanted to condense them first.

"But in order to condense 900 spiritual energy, I can't do it just anywhere. I have to find a place that is safe and quiet." Said Qin Tian as he looked at his hands.

"Looks like I have to go to the suburbs."

He changed his clothes after that because he was still wearing his school uniform now.

Since he was planning to go to a quiet place, he ended up choosing to wear a black jacket, trousers, and boots.

He immediately walked out of his room after that.

His aunt was still online when he came out of sixteen heaven, so she's still in her room.

However, when he reached the door of the villa, he saw Angela coming. She just got out of her car, and she was walking towards the villa.

Advertisements

His aunt's main business is in fashion and beauty.

Apart from working as a company executive, Angela also sometimes becomes a model for the company. And she also has several social media accounts with a lot of followers.

Even though she is not a celebrity, but because of her beauty which is far above average, she is even more popular than most celebrities.

Looking at the glamorous clothes she was wearing now, Qin Tian guessed that she had just finished a photo shoot.

But Qin Tian felt a little awkward as he remembered what happened last night. Hee didn't know how to greet her.

But to his surprise, Angela didn't look awkward at all. She acted as usual as if nothing had ever happened.

When she arrived in front of him, she stared at the clothes he was wearing with an astonished expression.

"Mm, little brother, where are you going in such clothes?" She asked with a slight smile.

"Ehhmmm." Qin Tian finally cleared his throat.

"Well, I want to go to the forest on the outskirts of the city." Qin Tian replied.

"Ha?" She was immediately surprised after hearing the answer. "What do you want there?" She asked.

Even though the earth is now very advanced, the large number of people in the present era has made social inequality even wider.

People who work in urban areas may have a good life, but there are still quite a few people living in poverty.

And on the outskirts of town Z there are quite a number of slums with chaotic life.

"Mm, I have a few things I want to take care of there. Don't worry, nothing will happen to me."

Qin Tian tried to leave as soon as he said that, but Angela suddenly held his hand.

"Wait, can I come along?"

"Sorry sis, but I don't think women like you are fit to go to places like that." Qin Tian replied while looking at her glamorous figure.

Even though Qin Tian was sure that nothing could bother Angela as long as she was by his side, it would still be troublesome if a group of men came to bother her. Besides, he left because he wanted to cultivate, and he couldn't show that to Angela.

"Come on, I can change my clothes." Angela continued to insist.

"Wait for me." She says.

She then ran towards her room.

Seeing her leave, Qin Tian shook his head. But he chose not to wait for her. As soon as Angela entered her room, he immediately ran towards the white BMW which was parked in the courtyard of the villa.

A while later, he was already on the highway of city Z. And he received a message from Angela not long after. "Damned brat, you really did leave this woman."

"Sorry, next time I'll take you for a walk." Qin Tian replied to her message.

"Hmm, if you lie again, I will tell mom that you have abused me."

"Sister, I did that for a reason. I have no ill intentions towards you."

"Who would believe that? Hmph, what man wouldn't want to touch my body in this world."

"Okay, okay, but if I really wanted you, I could just ask aunt to marry you off to me."

It's hard to beat women in debate, therefore, Qin Tian only relies on unusual means.

"Insolent you kid, you dare say words like that to me. Wait for you to come back, I will definitely beat you up."

Their chat ended there.

After that, Qin Tian started to accelerate the pace of his car.

When he enters the expressway, he activates the auto driving feature.

And he then opened his smartphone to open the game forum.

As he silenced the forums, he found most of the posts there discussing strange events that had happened in the Dead Sea Territory.

"It was really shocking, I don't know what happened, but that hand was really, really big."

"The technology of this game is truly so advanced, I've never seen any other game create such an effect."

"The scary sensation when the hand appeared is still felt even now when I left the game. I don't know how the Night-Heaven Company made this game."

"I'm in the east in the Land of Monsters, but even from here, I can clearly see the sky in the west suddenly darkening."

"That's right, the vibrations are even felt right here."

"What really happened, is there a mystical place there?"

"By the way, I am in another heaven, why is there no such incident here?"

Qin Tian enjoyed reading their comments.

However, as he continued to scroll the screen downwards, he suddenly saw a comment which made him very surprised.

Advertisements

"Hey, do you think it's possible that the sixteen heavens were a real world? We weren't actually sent into the game world, but were sent to another world."

But unlike the other comments, there were very few people who responded to the comment, which is why it is drowned in the bottom section.

Several people replied with a question. "Why do you think like that?"

Unfortunately the person who wrote the comment did not provide an answer. But there are some people who agree with the comments, and they write some speculations.

"Ah, I hope it's just a idle comment from a wibu." Said Qin Tian.

Qin Tian had already crossed over half the city 30 minutes later. But suddenly.

Tit... Tit... Tit...

The sound of a car horn suddenly echoed repeatedly behind his car. As he stared into the rearview mirror of his car, he was immediately startled when he saw a black Lamborghini chasing behind his car.

"What is she doing here?" Qin Tian couldn't help but grumble.

Clara barely hid her feelings for him, but these past few days, Qin Tian had felt that she was acting more aggressively to pursue him.

When the black Lamborghini arrived beside his car, the car windows immediately opened, revealing a beautiful, golden-haired figure inside. And she's still wearing her school uniform.

Seeing Clara starting to wave her hand, Qin Tian had no other choice but to open his car window.

And the words that came out of her mouth after that made Qin Tian smile wryly.

"Handsome, how about we race." Said Clara with a faint smile.

Qin Tian connected his car phone to Clara's car phone before he spoke. "Girl, what are you doing here?"

Advertisements

"To chase a man, of course." She replied casually.

She looked at Qin Tian with a cute smile as she said that.

Qin Tian in the end could only point his middle finger at her in response.

After that, he immediately accelerated his car to the fastest limit.

Fortunately at this time is when people are working so the streets are quite quiet. But he might have to deal with the traffic cops later.

However, he could only smile wryly as he watched the Lamborghini Clara easily follow behind his car.

Even if the car was at full speed now, it was still much slower than Lamborghini's full speed.

But that woman's driving ability took Qin Tian by surprise. "Where did this woman learn to drive?" He wondered.

Not many people would dare to drive a car at that speed, but the gentle looking Clara looked relaxed as she did so.

"Like your car, you will not be able to run away from me, dear Qin." Said Clara.

Qin Tian finally slowed his car back down after he realized he couldn't leave Clara.

About 15 minutes later, he started to enter the suburban area.

There are a lot of slum neighborhoods there, but the neighborhood there is also quite crowded.

Actually next to Z city, there was another city which was also quite large, but between the two cities, there was a mountain that separated them.

Located between two cities, the mountain was naturally frequented by people from both cities.

There is a river on the mountain and many people come there to relax by the river.

The only problem with the place is the lack of security as there are quite a number of gangsters there.

Even though there are police on guard there, the corrupt behavior of humans never changes no matter how advanced a civilization is. Even if corruption can be easily eradicated by technological advances, it will all be in vain when there are some officials who do not allow it to happen.

Qin Tian then parked his car in a small park on the mountain. The park is one of the entrances to the mountain.

There were quite a number of people there.

A BMW wasn't enough to get the attention of the crowd, but the Lamborghini Clara made everyone's eyes fixed on them.

As soon as he got out of his car, Clara also got out of her car and she immediately walked over to approach him. And she also stared at the clothes he was wearing with an astonished expression.

"Qin, what are you doing here? Do you want to climb mountains? I didn't know you had such a hobby." She spoke.

"Come on, young lady. Why don't you come back now, I have important business here, I can't take you." Qin Tian replied while looking around.

There were too many eyes staring at them that Qin Tian felt uneasy about.

He may be handsome enough to attract the attention of many women, but most women will not stare at a man openly. But it's different for men.

Clara is not just an eastern beauty like women in that country. She is a western and eastern beauty. Her beauty is no less than Angela, the only thing that makes her less than Angela is because she is not as glamorous as Angela.

Even though her personality was very straightforward, she looked like a pure and virtuous girl in the eyes of those who only saw her figure.

Seeing such a woman following a man like she was a chick following its mother, it caused many men to be unable to contain their jealousy so they stared at Qin Tian with hostile eyes.

Qin Tian wouldn't be surprised if a group of men came to him a moment later. He didn't take Angela with him because he didn't want that to happen, but he didn't expect Clara to suddenly appear out of nowhere.

The woman must have understood the meaning of his gaze, but she didn't care.

"Isn't it nice to be with a beautiful woman like me in the midst of so many men. Look at their eyes, I can't believe you don't feel puffed up because of that." She says.

"Okay, I lost. But I hope you stay here. I can't take you there."

There was no point in arguing with the woman, therefore, after saying that, he immediately turned around to leave.

But Clara still didn't give up. She's still following him.

When he arrived in front of the river at the end of the garden, he finally jumped into the river. He hoped that Clara would stop following him after that.

But the woman suddenly screamed after that. "Qin, I will also jump into this river unless you promise to go out with me tomorrow."

Advertisements

(Note: Clara of course has a certain identity, and that will probably be revealed at their third meeting.)

In the next two chapters, the structure of the modern world will be somewhat revealed.

Luckily he wasn't the only person in the river so his actions didn't attract much attention.

But Clara was screaming loud enough that there were quite a few people who heard her words. After looking at the direction where Clara was staring, the people finally stared at him as well.

In the end, he could only say yes to Clara's request.

If he caused a beautiful woman to jump into the river because he refused her request, perhaps those who saw him would stone him.

He let out a sigh of relief when he saw Clara finally turn around to leave.

After that, he immediately swam across the river.

With his strength now, he could pass through the river easily.

Not many people cross the river, and those who do only stop at the riverbank.

There was a meadow there, and after that meadow, there was a thick forest.

The sounds of various kinds of birds echoed from the forest, and sometimes there were several sounds of wild beasts there.

Advertisements

People are afraid of the sound of those beasts, but Qin Tian doesn't care.

He casually entered the forest without even looking around.

But he did not realize, far behind him, Clara, who had returned to her car, suddenly held a pair of binoculars at this time. She used the binoculars to watch him. She only stopped after he disappeared into the forest.

"Oh, what was he doing there? Somehow I feel like he's becoming more and more mysterious." She said as she threw the binoculars into her car.

But she didn't leave after that, instead, she sat casually in the front of her car smoking and drinking soda.

While doing that, she muttered in a low voice. "Qin oh Qin, how long will you refuse this woman."

She shook both of her legs as she said that.

Qin Tian who entered the forest couldn't help but furrow his forehead after he entered about 50 meters into the forest.

He initially found nothing there, but a few moments later, he suddenly sensed the presence of several people there.

Even though he hadn't seen them yet, he could feel at least 100 humans about 300 meters ahead of him.

"Are they just adventurers, or some other group?" He wondered.

Even though he wanted to cultivate there, he couldn't do it if there were a lot of people there.

After a moment of thought, he immediately moved towards those people.

He accelerated his pace, and of course, he was also moving stealthily. He did not feel worried about being found by them because he did not sense the presence of spiritual energy in their bodies.

A few minutes later, he finally saw the people.

They are divided into five groups.

"But they're not a group of adventurers." He says.

He didn't see a single person who looked like an adventurer.

But he was shocked when he saw one of the groups actually wearing martial sect attire.

Even though there was no spiritual energy in that world, there were still quite a number of traditional martial arts handed down from ancient times. Although many say that they are just a group of dancers, it cannot be denied that they are stronger than the average human. With a few tricks, some of them could even crush a rock with their bare hands.

The martial sect-clothed people consisted of young men and middle-aged men, but their leader was an old man with a thick beard.

And the other four groups, they also took Qin Tian by surprise.

Each of them were also led by an old man who looked like they were the leaders of a rich family. Beside each of those old men, there were several middle-aged men and youths. Their looks that look alike prove that they are a family. And the rest were men in suits who were clearly bodyguards.

Even though they weren't wearing any martial clothes, from their movements as they walked, Qin Tian concluded that they were also martial masters.

One thing that is clear about them is that they carry some of the tools normally used for digging.

Some of them even carried weapons such as swords and spears.

"What are they doing here?" Qin Tian wondered with an astonished expression.

The people didn't speak, but each of their groups kept their distance from each other.

After a while of observing them, Qin Tian then took out his smartphone.

He photographed the faces of each of the old men, and then entered their photos into an app on his smartphone.

It is an application that stores a lot of data about important figures in that world.

As an upscale businesswoman, his aunt had gathered a great deal of information on wealthy officials and businessmen. And he as her nephew has access to that information.

Not long after he entered their photos, information about them immediately appeared on his smartphone.

It's just that, there are only four pieces of information recorded on the app, they are information belonging to the four old men from that rich family. The martial group old man's information could not be found.

"Mmm." Qin Tian was a little astonished as he read their information.

Each of them actually came from a different province. But they don't live in the capital or other big cities in their province. They only live in small districts in their province. And even though they were a rich family, their wealth was not that great either. Each of them only had a few hundred million dollars in assets. They also have no influence in the world of politics.

From a certain point of view, they could only be considered a small family among wealthy families.

But one thing that made Qin Tian surprised was their family background which was said to have been around for a long time.

Ning, Ming, Liu, and Lin were the surnames of each of them.

Advertisements

Qin Tian continued to follow them further into the forest. Because the forest was on top of a mountain, so the path they were on also swooped upwards.

And they traveled about half an hour before stopping.

In front of them, there was a small hill overgrown with grass.

When he saw the hill, Qin Tian finally showed a serious expression on his face. He had yet to feel anything strange about the hill, but his gut told him that there was something unusual hidden within the hill.
