章 3: An Immortal’s Knowledge

~Red Forest~

The skies were dark, with clouds moving rapidly, with thunder and lightning echoing across the lands, making this part of the world a rare place of peace.

Plater! Plater!

Rain fall from the skies, making a fresh earthy scent to spread across the region, making one feel a sense of kinship with the world.

The many beasts in the Red Forest retreated and went into hiding, fearing the thunder and lightning in the skies.

It had always been like this, since even before humans had exist that animals fear the onslaught of the mighty heavens or a simplistic version of it.

~Third Month inside Red Forest~

At the end of the second month, Shi Yu was about to return home to the family he has in this life , however, he decide against it, since if he return with no power to protect them and something happen to them, with him not being able to do something about it, he would be devastated.

However, even though he decide against leaving early, Shi Yu met his first hurdle after reincarnating, his body innate talent. He had push his current body's innate talent to the limit, reaching the second level of the Body Refining Realm. In his Bloodline Cultivation, he had also reach the limit which was what the bloodline he infuse was able to reach, which was Bloodline Infusion.

No matter how he choose to try to increase his cultivation, he was halted and couldn't improve. However, Shi Yu was not worried since he was able to stay in any of his two states for fifteen minutes form his initial five minutes.

From this, Shi Yu concludes that for every level in his immortal cultivation he gain, he would add five minutes to his present time limit for the states, increasing his competence.

As for his Bloodline Cultivation, other than increasing his healing power and improving his immune systems, their was no other benefits.

So since he couldn't cultivate, Shi Yu spent his time battling beast, enriching his battle experience, while also gaining materials which he use to create pills, weapons, mainly swords, and some simple charms.

The pills doesn't have much use on immortal cultivators, as it's purposes was to purified the bloodline one infuse into their bodies.

Yes, Shi Yu, creates an item that could be seen as a holy relic to Bloodline Cultivators.

The sad thing about this kill was that it would lose its affective ness on someone higher than Bloodline Infusion realm, making it not as appealing to the stronger warriors out their.

The weapons were something that Shi Yu was famed for in the immortal realm, as he would auction off immortal weapons like cabbage back in the day.

It would be obviously to anyone observing that, Shi Yu was a Weapon Maker, different from a Blacksmith, as Weapon Makers Grant a sense of life into their creation.

It was like how, the two realms had gained sentience upon going through reincarnation with him. Although he didn't have much to do with them becoming sentient items, he created them, thus by extension he proves his knowledge of the power of Weapon Making.

A Weapon Maker was someone who use the Dao or energy of the heaven and earth to create what they wanted. Because of the profoundness involve, it generally takes billion of years for a peak rank treasures to be created from their hands.

A Blacksmith however is different as they create mass copies of the same items, making their status shaky at best. It was also the cause of why Blacksmith fell from their spot as the best at Weapon Making after the emergence of the Weapon Making techniques. This made Blacksmith a job only mortals would do.

The swords he created had different affects, but since he didn't want to alarm the people of this world before he had absolute power, he tone down the affects of the swords only making them have one of either of the following, Harden, Growth, Curse Edge.

Even though he toned it down a lot, it still amaze him how deadly theses weapons were according to his memories. Of the three affects, the strongest was Growth as it had the most potential even though it would max out a single level higher than the other two affects.

Growth allows the weapon to grow along with its master, which make it so that the weapon would hardly be discard because being too weak.

The more the swords kills, the stronger it will become.

Harden does exactly as it said, which is making the blade very hard to crack or even sharpening the blade, lowering the resistance when cutting through flesh.

Only someone at Beast Blood Stage and above could break this weapon. Which is powerful since their is only one realm above Beast Blood Stage.

Curse Edge simply make it so that any wound that is inflicted using this weapon would have a constantly erosion affect which would not stop for ten seconds.

So that means if a cut was on any body part, dark tendrils would activated, spreading in that area for ten seconds, devouring everything it can, before fading away.

To be honest, this affect is already powerful as it is, espically if use in battle.

With his action of killing any demonic beast he could find, and with the fact that the demonic beast were fearful of the lightning and thunder jn the skies, Shi Yu was able to harvest a lot of materials, enough that it could equip an army!

All these items were unable to be move around using his strength, so he use the Heavenly Realm as a storage, which makes it so he was able to move anything he wanted. As long as he was able to cover it with his immortal sense, which was currently 30 meters from the 20 in the beginning.

Shi Yu pocket all the items and decide if was time to meet his mother and sister. These were his family in this life, he had to protect them.

Shi Yu stood up from his spot inside cave, walking outside, allowing the water to wash away the grimes off his body.

In his time in the Red Forest, Shi Yu had not showered or even cut his hair, making him look like a barbarian. His hair was wild and untamed, making him look more like a savage caveman, which was fitting, since he just came out of a cave.

Shi Yu look at the skies, observing and calculating with his fingers, noticing the heavens were moving, seeming to turn a page to a book, according to his calculation he had around 13 years before this page is completely turned.

Of course he had no idea what this intail since he was a newcomer to this world. He had to merge into this world more to find out its meaning.

" Wise Ape."

footsteps could be heard behind Shi Yu as a ape twisted over him, looking like a gaint from some story.

Unlike Shi Yu who couldn't increase his power, Wise Ape became more powerful and reach the level of Heavenly Commander, becoming quite a force to be reckoned with.

Wise Ape at this point was completely golden with its eyes golden as well, making it look like a divine being, walking the mortal world. As Wise Ape stood there, ripples would emerge and stop the rain drops from touching its body, making it seem even more divine.

" Wise Ape, I will be leaving, the next time we meet might be many years in the future or it might be next week, at this point it's too vague to say. At your current stage as a Heavenly Commander, you are able to create ten heavenly soldier which will be under you, i suggests choosing beings that have a decent chance to grow and evolve. These Heavenly Soldiers will your own faction inside the Heavenly Realm, so I suggest thinking about this deeply." At this point Shi Yu turned and look at the ape with deep eyes, " The Heavenly Realm is my first creation and also the one I have a deeper connection to, which means most of my focus will be on it. As my first Heavenly Warrior, I will give you a piece of information, how you use it is up to you. Reaching the Heavenly Cimmmader stage means you have obtain the rights to open a Heavenly Gate which would allow you to absorb the heavenly energy inside it to further your power, but it can also be use to travel to the Heavenly Realm. You are in charge of punishing those that the Heavenly Realm tells you to. The Heavenly Realm must never be questioned, only obeyed! Of course, this is only temporary, as the one who truly control the Heavenly Realm other than me is the Heavenly Court, a place were gods and immortals with official titles take office. If you wish to leave your duty of being bound by the Heavenly Realm, you can create a religion of yourself now and when you reach the peak of Heavenly General you can use the faith you collected to become a god, not a puppet any more. Of course the choice is yours. I wish you all the best, may we meet again!" Shi Yu look at the ape deeply before flashing away faster than the eye could see.

The ape widen is eyes slightly at the speed displayed, but wore a complicated expression, " Did he feel the killing desire I have jnside my heart thus he told me this ? He gave me such a good choice yet I plan to betray him the moment I became stronger. However, because of my action I have a way to get rid of this curse. It had prevented me from acting how I desire, I cannot disobey his order or I will be hurt." Wise Ape eyes became deep, " For me to get rid of this curse, I will have to become stronger than a Beast King, which I'm right now."

" Goodbye master, I hope we meet again, on better terms." Wise Ape shook his head and fade away from the spot, not noticing a humanoid figure a distant from him observing his actions and words.

" I was not wrong, I need to recreate the laws binding the warriors of their realms or it would bite me in the ass in the future." Shi Yu signed and vanished like mist, leaving behind a damp piece of beast skin that slowly burns away.
