Chapter 29: A Weird Confrontation

On a certain Mountain

Two young men stared at each other. Rather than staring you can call it a contest of glaring, but obviously the younger one among them looked rather lax. More like he lazily glanced at the other man.

These two were none other than Huan Jing and Shen! Huan Jing looked around 22-24 years old, while Shen looked around 18-19. Although Shen looked rather lax and carefree, Huan Jing kept sweating.

'Shit, where did this monster came from? What relations does he have with Skysword Sect? Like that matters, why can't I even sense his cultivation?? He only looks around 18, did he come from the other continents? I fucked up! I must get away from here as soon as possible.' Huan Jing was no ordinary genius. He was also the disciple of Joyous Sect's Sect Master. As his disciple, he traveled with him to the Central Continent and the Southern Viewing Continent.

He knew existent such as he was only dirt in front of such experts. As he returned to Greencloud Continent, he felt his arrogance only increasing. Everyone on this continent was trash and he didn't need to think much of them. He planned to do as his wish, but today, today he felt extreme fear.

Standing in front of this young man made him remember of the demonic beasts, he couldn't even wish to lay his hands on. It was as if his every secret and cell was being stared by him.

He recently achieved a breakthrough and became a Fourth Grade Martial King, but obviously, no one knew. He was so powerful that he didn't need to use his full power, which is why many people only judged him to be a 1st Grade Martial King.

"So, you are looking for my disciple, and even crippled her Sect Leader? You are quite arrogant, huh?" suddenly Shen opened his mouth.

'Shit, he is her Master! Bloody hell!! This guy is nowhere a young man... Could it be, a Martial Saint? He broke through so fast he doesn't even age anymore? I swear, if I live today, I'll never step foot in this shitty place...' Huan Jing started to formulate his plan. Escape is impossible... against someone who is possibly a Saint, even trying to escape will spell his death.

Huan Jing did martial salute as he said, "Esteemed Elder, this young one didn't come here to find trouble. I heard rumor of the lady Yiye's beauty and wished to have a chat with her. Please, I don't mean no harm..."

'What Elder? Kid, your imagination is not bad. Let me play along.' Shen thought in his mind before saying, "Hoh, so you say, you didn't come to find trouble but you already crippled the sect master." Suddenly, his voice became deeper, "Anything you have to say on that matter."

"That-, Esteemed Elder, I couldn't hold my rage when someone weaker than me threatened me. It was just a moment of the outburst, please forgive this foolish one." Huan Jing didn't dare to use loud voice as he half kneeled on the spot, head facing downward.

"That is to say, I don't see any reason for you to stay alive either..." Shen said in a monotone voice. It's as if it was child plaything for him to kill Huan Jing.

"Esteemed Elder, Please reconsider. Although, I'd like to compensate you in some way. This little one doesn't have something which could possibly interest you!" Huan Jing sounded desperate as quickly added in.

Shen thought for a while, he can't start a fight with Huan Jing. In that way, they can possibly learn his real strength. That was something he couldn't let them know, "...alright, leave your interspatial sachet. Although it's of no use to me, it can count as your punishment..." Shen couldn't even finish his word before Huan Jing took out his interspatial sachet.

"Many thanks, Esteemed Elder. Huan Jing will never forget your magnanimous heart. If you ever need Huan Jing for anything, just search for me on Joyous Sect. I'll give my life to help you!" Huan Jing excitedly gave away his own sachet as he kept singing praises for the 'Esteemed Elder'. He didn't waste any single moment before running away.

In fact, Shen's main plan was to kill Huan Jing. He didn't want to keep another pebble which might possibly mess up his future plan, but things weren't as simple as he expected.

Huan Jing, himself was a 4th Grade Martial King. His raw strength almost double of Shen's current strength. This whole time, his main advantage was the oddity of his cultivation technique and body. He didn't like it, as others couldn't sense his cultivation technique and used to take him for weakling but that today helped him greatly.

Not only that, the other party even yielded to him as he played the cards well. If it was someone else, who is ignorant about the upper works of the world. He might have been in trouble.

"Don't try to do something you can't handle. Next time, I won't be so gentle." Shen glanced at his left as he slowly said as if talking to himself. A long tree shook a little as everything returned to his calm. Shen waited for 10 minutes before he heaved a long sigh.

Although Huan Jing was twice powerful, there was still a chance of defeating him. Shen was mainly cautious of Huan Jing's secret guard. The prodigy of Joyous Sect, one of the strongest sect of the Greencloud Continent will surely have a guard with him. Most importantly, the guard was an expert of 9th Grade Martial King!

The difference between them was huge. Shen might not be able to a single punch from that guy. The last 'warning' was so that they won't investigate on him. Naturally, they wouldn't want to anger an expert and bring harm to their sect. Not to mention when the expert was of unknown cultivation!

"Master!" Along with the Snow White Crane, Yiye Jiange landed on the ground as he excitedly called him. She hardly knew him but he still defended the sect for her.

"Let's return." Shen just only said that before he jumped on the Snow White Crane. On the path, Yiye Jiange didn't mutter a sound as Shen fell in deep thought.

'Even if they don't actively search for my background, it's still not safe. Huan Jing will not swallow this humiliation. So, if he learns about my background and cultivation, he will definitely come after me. Not to mention, this also dangers everyone close to me. Still, they should be cautious of my warning. So it should take them around 6 months at the very least. I have to breakthrough to the Martial King Realm within this 6 months.'

He checked out the content of the interspatial sachet that Huan Jing 'willingly' gave him. Now, it became his turn to be surprised, the sachet was filled with a huge quantity of pills and gold taels. There were a few scrolls which seemed like the techniques Huan Jing cultivated. But they were all copies and not the original version. That seemed like more of a reason that he didn't hesitate to leave the sachet. Besides, his cultivation technique can only be cultivated by himself. So, he didn't worry about it becoming public.

"Keep the sachet, as for the things inside it. You can give it to the sect." Shen transferred the items from spatial sachet as he gave it to Yiye Jiange.

"But Master, is it really okay?"

"Yes.."

Yiye Jiange checked the items inside and left stunned. There was only piles of demonic beasts inside the sachet.

While the pills and and cultivation resource inside the sachet seemed tempting. They were only for a individual, for a sect it was sorely lacking but with the hides of demonic beasts they can create vests for the guard team, and exhcange many things with the remaining parts.

Huh? Now that was disappointing, whoever wants me to die comment: :kys:

Chapter 30: Breaking the Seal

After the incidents with Huan Jing, Shen didn't encounter any problem. He cultivated endlessly as he kept figuring out the mysteriousness of Absolute Strengthening Technique and Absolute Qi.

On the tenth level of the 2nd Layer of Absolute Strengthening Technique, Shen's muscles were surrounded by 10 Golden Color Qi with the bone in the middle. They looked as if hardened steel string that can't be cut. From the distance between them, Shen estimated the 2nd Layer only had another two-level remaining.

It's common knowledge to every cultivator of the Nine Continent of Kyushu that cultivation in this world was broken down into 10 realms. These 10 realms are Martial Student, Martial Warrior, Martial General, Martial Commander, Xian Tian, Martial King, Martial Saint, Martial Emperor, False God And divine. Each of these realms further consisted of 10 grades. First Grade being the lowest and 10th being the highest.

Yet, Shen encountered this strangeness. He didn't know what stages he cultivated before Xiantian as there was no indicator other than the power level. His power level even before Xiantian Realm was already ridiculous from norm, now if he gets to cultivate 12 grades on every big realm then he can possibly fulfill his to be OP.

Still, everything wasn't so easy as it looked. After he reaches the peak of his current realm, his breakthrough will be much harder than any normal cultivator. That's why to achieve breakthrough more easily, he had to work on his foundation more than anyone else.

Aside from his cultivation, he mainly focused on Absolute Manipulation. After achieving the third level of Absolute Vision, one of the techniques that caught his eyes was 'Primordial Genesis Fire'.

Unlike the most techniques on his dreamscape, this technique had a name and its uses are versatile. This fire was extremely potent and hard to keep under control and the requirement was also heavy. The Chaos Qi... naturally speaking he met the requirement to use the technique and started cultivating it, but only to be met with failure after another.

After going through everything, he finally understood, his Absolute Qi and Chaos were not the same. Only after separating all elements from Absolute Qi and combining them together can he form Chaos Qi.

So far he can only control the five elemental Qi's easily and a few others, but still not proficient enough to use them during battle. As for the rest, let alone controlling them, he couldn't even find out some of their natures.

He lifted his left hand and different colors of Qi started coming out from his hand. Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. These five types of Qi were also known as Elemental Qi in the world of Kyushu and also Shen can control them with most proficiency.

The five Qi all circled above his palm in a disciplined manner and unlike how one would expect, their power didn't clash with each other. Another light green Qi left his body, this was the Nature Qi and not long after another light blue Qi came out, but unlike the six Qi before this one contained violent energy and were extremely hard to control.

"Continue..." a few droplets of sweat appeared on Shen's face, but he still kept on going. One after another three different colored Qi came out from his body. One of them exuded warm energy while the other exuded a freezing chill. On the other hand, the last one seemed like extremely gentle and calm Qi, but this is the only one Shen had to exert his hardest effort to control.

From his all previous experiment, he deduced this Qi to be Void Qi. So far he didn't find any technique to utilize this Qi, but for him to use the Primordial Genesis Fire, he needed Chaos Qi.

"Merge!" the different type of Qi's spinning above his palm started to merge in a single point. Sweat started dripping from Shen's face as he completely focused on controlling these Qi.

Promptly, all different Qi converged into a single point as a Qi similar to Absolute Qi formed in front of Shen.

"Success..." Shen's eyes brightly shined as he was the forming Chaos Qi!

"Boom!"

"Cough, cough..." Shen coughed out blood as he was sent 7 meters backward, flying. His face looked pale, but his eyes were still smiling.

'Although, I failed in the end. I was still able to form the Chaos Qi. If I try a few more times, I should be able to master this technique!' Shen didn't feel down at all, in fact, he thought more positively. He kept practicing Absolute Manipulation from the time he got the technique. For him, it's a long duration, and finally, he got some result from such hard practice!

After circulating the Wood Qi to recover, he cooked a few fish with some herbs as he kept experimenting with them. Creating new recipes was also one of his new goals.

His Demon Wolf, Kawa, also became far stronger than it was before. After absorbing many demonic cores from Xiantian Grade Demonic beasts, its cultivation increased by huge margin. From its cultivation of 4th Grade Xiantian, it reached to 7th Grade Xiantian.

Shen personally trained the wolf to make sure it didn't slack off inside the Absolute Realm. Although he had no idea what it did during the time, he didn't enter the realm. He made sure bully it till as long as it keeps standing.

After another intense 'training' session which is literally bullying Kawa, Shen left the Absolute Realm with a satisfied expression, but his mood fell bottom-down as soon as he saw a black orb on the bed by his side.

This was none other than the sealing orb. As there's a being sealed inside the orb, he can't keep it inside the Absolute Realm. Same way, when he enters the realm himself, the orb stays on the outside world. Honestly speaking, he wants nothing more than to throw this orb somewhere else, as it only smells trouble. But that being said, he can't just throw it away either.

Taking the orb on his hand, he checked it out with his Absolute Vision. 'Essence, Essence, Soul, Treasure.' these are the only things he could find on the seal inside the orb. He hoped to figure out something new, but only met with disappointment.

"Shit, I'll just get rid of it. Since it will break after I upgrade it once, I'll do it. I'll do it and see what happens!" finally Shen snapped as he thought how every had to put it away and sometimes he would even forget about it.

He left the mountain as he went 1 few kilometers southward. Although the orb will break, it was unknown whether the being inside the seal will be still alive or dead. There was also a possibility of that being dangerous.

Shen calmed his heart as he prepared to... run away at moment. "Absolute Upgrade!" One second passed by, two seconds passed by... twenty second passed by, nothing happened.

"Meh, I'll just think the seal broke and nothing happened..." Shen turned back as he threw the orb behind his back while lazily thinking loudly.

Suddenly, golden colored runes started forming in every direction. "This... This is... Hmmm... where was it? Yeah, Absolute Taming, let's see. Yeah, that one. Soul Contract: One can only form one contract in lifetime. Not severable. No Condition. As long as the Master doesn't die, the other party won't die either. Immune to any soul destroying technique or ability." Shen started going through the contract description as it was already impossible to escape from the contract circle.

The Absolute Taming Manual had myriads of different contracts and taming techniques. Thanks to his Eidetic Memory, Shen could remember everything just after taking a look, but he couldn't possibly go through tens of thousands of contract and techniques in such a limited amount of time. Still, he went through the rough view of all contracts and techniques.

Shen turned to his back as he someone's gaze. As soon as he turned back, he became dazed as if his soul left his body. Moments later, he regained his consciousness and looked at his left and right as if searching for something.

For an instant he felt as if he saw something. Something beautiful and mesmerizing enough to suck his soul out of the body. It was just for an instant so he couldn't capture it with his eyes properly but he badly wished to see that once again.

He searched up and down, left and right but didn't find a hint of living beings. But he still that the contract was successful as he felt another connection other than Kawa's. Following the connection, he entered the Absolute Realm.
