After his death, our Mc drifts into the void for an unknown amount of times and finally when he gets out of the void he finds himself in a library full of books in rows with no ends.

 After strolling around he discovers a man in glasses taking notes very attractively but after waiting for a long time he finally couldn't wait because the man is not taking notice of him. So with his own initiative, he calls...

“Excuse me??? ” Mc

“…”Glasses [Silent ]

“Excuse me??? ” Mc

“…” Glasses[Silent ]

“Excuse me??? ” Mc

“… ” Glasses [Silent ]

After calling in a low voice for twice our Mc thought the man might also have a problem with his ears with his eyes so he shouted “EXCUSE ME~~~??? ”

After hearing this shout the glasses man almost broke his pen and angrily looks at our Mc “I heard you the first time you called, so no need to shout. ”

“…. ” Mc [Silent ]

**(PLEASE GIVE ME A CHANCE)**

[From here on out, the system will include different leveled worlds. The previous one had been classified as a one star world. Because Host had succeeded your mission wonderfully, BaoBao has asked the superiors to allow you to skip directly to three star worlds.] BaoBao's cutesy voice made XunMi even more agitated. She really wanted to curse at someone.

"Alright, tell me the use of this nutrient water." Looking at the compensation from the system, her lips twitched. XunMi didn't care if the difficulty increased, as long as she wasn't thrusted into the body of a child or someone in a coma. She was more interested in BaoBao's previous words. ZiXi ge, wait for me. 

BaoBao excitedly brought a shimmering gold book to XunMi.  [Host, nutrient water can be used to restore the body. It can be used in all worlds below five stars. And this is Host's upcoming world. It's in ancient times, isn't that amazing?]

XunMi hesitantly rececived the book: "This is a normal world, right?"

[Host, BaoBao didn't choose the world, only the level of difficulty. 

So this wasn't something he could decide. Everything happened according to luck.

XunMi rolled her eyes and opened the book in her arms, taking in the title The Rise of the Concubine's Daughter: The Extreme Empress. 

Feeling a sense of evil intent from the world, XunMi could guess exactly what this story was about. She simultaneously tsk-tsked and read. At least this was slightly better than the previous world.

This was a court drama book. The female lead was the prime minister's Eldest Miss. Unfortunately, she was also an idiot concubine's daughter that didn't receive favor. At age 16, she was pushed into a pond by the Third Miss. By the time she woke up, her soul had already been replaced by a transmigrating girl. After understanding her new role, she immediately began writing poems and books, quickly making her reputation par to none. Soon, she earned the prime minister's favor, along with the good impression of other talented youths. This included the crown prince, who also happened to be the fiance of the Prime Minister's legitimate, second daughter.

But in order to stabilize his own status, the crown prince didn't give up the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter from his legal wife. After the two married, the crown prince and female lead Wenren YunFei schemed for the crown prince's wife to be caught committing adultery, leading to revoking her title and annulling their marriage as punishment. In addition, the Prime Minister house also renounced her. Feeling as if she had become a dirty burden for the Prime Minister, Wenren XunMi hung herself on a tree outside of city gates. Only her little brother Wenren Lu cared enough to have her taken down for burial.

Soon after, the crown prince married Wenren Yunfei and usurped his father's throne. Wenren YunFei convinced the prime minister to ally with a general and an assassion that adored her in order to plot to kill the XiaoYi Wang. {T/N: XiaoYi Wang is usually a title given to a son of the Emperor that seems more interested in life and art than in politics, military, and the throne}

In the end, Wenren YunFei became the empress and ultimately lived a happy ever after with her group of men.

Xun Mi almost spit blood. So is the book NP, or is it NP, or is NP?

Without even guessing, she knew she was going to be the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter. Afterall, they shared the same name. This poor girl had almost died without a proper burial. As expected, family meant nothing in the face of politics.

XunMi was interested in this XiaoYi Wang. In the original book, this was the only person that hadn't fallen for the female lead. More importantly, he was the country of An's powerful prince, holding the entire imperial court in the palm of his hands.

So it wasn't strange that the female lead wanted to kill this living time bomb in the end. But XunMi wandered where the plot would have progressed to by the time she enters the world.

"BaoBao, let's go." With that, she slowly disappeared from the Sea of Stars space.

XunMi opened her eyes, facing a patch of blood red, causing her to jump in fright. She blinked her eyes, discovering that vision was being obstructed by something. As she reached out to pull it off, she was immediately stopped by the person sitting next to her.

"Aiya, Second Miss. You can't impatiently take the veil off now! The crown prince will here to pick you up soon. After going through the ceremony, you'll be able to see the outstanding crown prince. " Her words made XunMi's hair stand at end. A thousand WTFs ran through her mind. She had transmigrated to when Wenren XunMi married that scum of a man?

As expected, the further into the timeline she goes, the higher the difficulty will be. If she remembers correctly, this was the time that the female lead attracted a lot of male admirers. Her reputation as the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter had also began to take a hit due to the female lead's rumors.

Before the age of 16, XunMi, who was only a year younger than the female lead, was both An's number one talented miss and number one most beautiful miss. But when the female lead transmigrated, she used poems and songs of the future to knock down XunMi's ranking. Now, when people mention the Prime Minister's Second Miss, they would say that the praise of her talents are exaggerated. When they speak of the Eldest Miss, they would say she was brimming with talent, a true angel of the highest heavens descending to Earth.

XunMi wanted to curse. If not for the fact that this body's mother was still alive, today's bride might have been directly exchanged for Wenren YunFei. After all, the female lead's mother was still a governmental official's daughter.

But in a month, her mother would be killed by Wenren YunFei and her concubine mother. This was also why only her little brother came to see her off when the original had died.

XunMi's task this time included a main mission and two side missions. The first was to protect her mother and her little brother, making sure they live peacefully.  Her mother had been critically ill when the original Wenren XunMi was caught committing adultery, causing the two to miss a chance to see each other one last time.

The second side mission was for XunMi to be happy. Before, she was miserable. So this time, she wanted a life of warmth.

After going through the plot one more time in her head, XunMi thought of a way to deal with the situation. "BaoBao, where is that scum crown prince right now?"

No matter whether her husband had transmigrated into that scum of a male lead or into some other person, XunMi had to run away from this wedding. She definitely couldn't marry.

[Host, that scumscum is already here. He's been at the female lead's place this whole time. Additionally, Host, I've already made an appraisal. His soul doesn't have the same frequency as your man's.]

XunMi raised her eyebrows, her eyes showing her mischievous intentions. Since you aren't my dear husband, then I won't be merciful. 

Why did XunMi have her memories intact in this dimension? Well, that's because she had achingly spent 40000 points to buy a protection screen for her consciousness.

Opening up the Shopping Center, XunMi flipped to the section for medicine and spent 999 points to buy a bottle of unlimited "knockout drops". To XunMi, this thing was an irreplaceable necessity in all plans to break laws and commit crimes.

She pulled her hand into her sleeves, slyly opening the bottle's lid and allowing the scent to spread into the air. One, two, three.

Bang. Bangbang. Bang. After making sure all the people had fallen down unconscious, XunMi replaced the lid and placed the bottle back into her inventory. She tore off her red veil, and rushed to hide behind the folding screen. As she changed her clothing, she shouted orders towards the door.

"Xiao Xiang, go invite Eldest Miss over for a moment. Say that I want to gift the phoenix pearl to her."

hello
this is not my work but I love the story so I uploaded it here.i hope you like it.



After accidentally falling, she actually finds herself bound to a Second Female Lead Counter Attacking System!

Xun Mi: WTF is this?! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

In order to regain her memories and return to her original world, Xun Mi is forced to transmigrate to different worlds and complete missions. Fiancé stolen away? Abandoned by the family? Career ruined? Reputation slandered? No problem, I’ll just go and grab a golden thigh
(1), dominate the world, slap those trash scum across the face, and live true to the saying that evildoers have no worry!

Xun Mi: I just want to peacefully and quietly complete my missions and go.

Loyal Puppy: I just want to peacefully and quietly go with you.  
[P.S.: love at first sight!, 1V1, both leads are clean
(2), spoiling one another is the goal, slapping trash is the plan, to make a counterattack on life!]

A bunch of silver white Treasure Chests appeared in front of Ling Ran.
The piles of Treasure Chests covered Ling Ran's entire vision. Once he opened all of them, the light was as brilliant as if fireworks had been lit in front of him.
Ling Ran was not surprised to see many green bottles of Energy Serum. He also calmly accepted the fact that he had obtained two skill books after he opened thirty-one Treasure Chests.
After all, he opened the Treasure Chests once they reached a prime number. There was nothing strange about him receiving skill books at the smallest prime number available—two.
Theoretically, Ling Ran could even accept the setting of receiving thirty-seven skill books from thirty-one Treasure Chests.
"System, please put away the Energy Serum." Ling Ran was indifferent to the appearance of the Energy Serums. After all, he had already accumulated 214 Energy Serums, thus, it did not matter anymore to him ^_^.
Everyone still had their heads lowered to read the MRI scans.
It was very time-consuming to read MRI scans. It would be tougher for Brandon and the others as they needed to compare the MRI scans between four other athletes.
If it were not due to curiosity, the British doctor would normally charge hundreds of USD to just read these MRI scans.
Ling Ran quietly opened the two skill books.
The rather dark basement brightened up in an instant.
The two skill books were opened up slowly, and the title page was shown together with some explanations.
[Single Skill Book: Obtained skill branch—Arthroscopic Surgery (Specialist Level)]
[Single Skill book: Obtained skill branch—Arthroscopy Meniscoplasty (Perfect Level)]
"Hmm…" Ling Ran's emotions were slightly complicated. He had joined a few cases of hip replacement surgery recently, so he thought the system would be more sensible.
If he obtained the Perfect Level Hip Replacement Surgery Skill, he could get a chance to visit Mayo.
Ling Ran changed his train of thoughts. The system was never sensible. If it were really sensible, Ling Ran would have received his Transformer a long time ago.
Of course, arthroscopy was also very good.
Orthopedists his age had basically started to focus on arthroscopy by now.
As compared to the open orthopedic surgeries, there were more advantages in arthroscopy, which gained popularity since the 70s.
Arthroscopes were metal tubes attached with cameras. They were inserted deep into the hip joint in order to observe the physiological structure in the joint.
As compared to open surgeries, arthroscopies had the advantage of causing less trauma on the patient. Furthermore, it could observe osteochondral lesions and perform an examination on the hip joint while it was nearly in its physiological environment. Then, they would perform the surgery.
The new generation of orthopedists always liked to use this kind of minimally invasive surgery tools, and this made the application more commonly used. Arthroscopes could be used in the shoulder, elbow, ankle, hip, and knee.
Yet, as compared to the Perfect Level Arthroscopy Meniscoplasty, the Specialist Level of the other parts seemed a lot weaker.
Ling Ran released a deep breath. By the looks of it, if he wanted to get used to arthroscopes, he will have to focus on operating on the meniscus.
"What's wrong?" Brandon heard Ling Ran's exhale, so he thought that Ling Ran had some opinions on his performance. He looked at Ling Ran with a slight lack of confidence.
"Oh, I'm thinking about how I can get a chance to carry out arthroscopic surgeries," Ling Ran replied honestly. After all, to him, there was no problem with a doctor in performing surgeries.
Brandon realized that he had not made a fool of himself, so he felt relieved. He laughed and said, "I also perform arthroscopies more when I'm in the United Kingdom. We can work together if there is a chance. I believe that the words in your language are 'we can improve together'."
He was not sure where he learned the Mandarin words "we can improve together". He spoke it with an unclear articulation, and it made the Chinese around him amused.
"Have you performed arthroscopy on all parts of the body?" Ling Ran asked.
"I did. But I perform the best when it comes to knee and ankle hip joints," Brandon answered confidently.
"How about meniscoplasty?"
"I perform both, be it meniscoplasty or meniscectomy." Brandon winked and said, "When it comes to sports injuries, meniscus injuries are one of the major injuries. If you are in the United Kingdom, I would recommend you to focus on this. We will have many potential collaborations."
He spoke about collaboration again.
Ling Ran's skills in Achilles tendon repair made Brandon come up with an unlimited number of reasons to establish a working relationship with him.
Sports medicine was an unusual field in the medical world, and its requirements were also unusual.
Most of the time, a surgery that looked perfect for a normal individual might not be good enough for athletes. There would be even more trouble when they considered the fact that most of the time, athletes would grow in different ways compared to normal people, and because of it, their blood and other physiological indices would also be different from normal people. Hence, their recovery period and the intensity of their training would also be different.
In current society, athletes were rich enough. Otherwise, it would be difficult for a six feet and nine inches tall basketball player to have an average lifespan. Forget maintaining their quality of life, all the joint diseases and cardiovascular diseases would already be health destroyers that they would not be able to get rid of if they were rich enough.
However, it was precisely because the athletes were rich enough that a high number of doctors and medical researchers were attracted and participated in the sports medicine field. Besides, the uniqueness of sports medicine also made its demands on high-end doctors nearly impossible.
Zhu Tongyi needed a doctor like Ling Ran to have other doctors acknowledge Plan A. Meanwhile, Brandon and his teacher, Wallace, similarly had the same need as well.
Ling Ran just nodded, not caring one way or another.
Ji Tianlu frowned while he watched by the side. Suddenly, he felt danger loom over his head as if the cow he borrowed to plow the land was about to be kidnapped.
In an instant, Ji Tianlu smiled. "Ling Ran, do you want to perform arthroscopies? Have you given up on performing hip replacement surgeries?"
Ling Ran replied earnestly, "It's too difficult, so I still can't understand it now."
"It's truly difficult, but once you have mastered it, you can go anywhere you want. Currently, hip joint-related diseases are very common. If you can do it well, hip replacement surgeries will be very useful for you. It will not be a waste if you take a few years to learn it." Ji Tianlu resisted the urge to mention pay, as there were some foreigners in the room.
However, for Ji Tianlu, he looked down on the five-figure salary his foreign friends earned.
Besides, even if a foreigner doctor had a five-figure salary, he had to cover a high amount of taxes, insurance, and other expenses, while Ji Tianlu's income in China was also about the same once everything had been deducted.
The Orthopedics Department was also known as the Department of the Wealthy, mainly because of the lucrative charges for hip replacement surgeries. The cost of a prosthetic implant to replace a hip ranged from 10,000 to 70,000 RMB. The rebate given by every pharmaceutical sales representatives was different for each patient, but generally, those who gave lesser rebate would be eliminated.
Some department directors who worked in the Orthopedics Department in the hospitals could earn tens of millions each year. An Orthopedics Department director with normal skills would not earn that much, but their income was in the millions too.
For doctors like Ji Tianlu, it would not be any problem for them to earn more than Brandon, but he did not, because he still sought to become better and climb higher up the skill tree.
However, Ling Ran had even fewer thoughts. He only nodded when he listened to Ji Tianlu. He said, "I want to do arthroscopy first, or tracheotomy will work too, I just need to look for chances to do them…"
Ling Ran sighed. Previously, he performed a tracheotomy for the police dog, Chestnut. He should not be able to look for Chestnut to perform an arthroscopy as well. 
Ling Ran started to miss Yun Hua.
Although Shanghai was good, and the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center was a high-end center, Academician Zhu Tongyi's research institute did not have Emergency Departments or any ICUs. So, a normal person would not need to receive any tracheotomy.
Even if he were to perform arthroscopies, it would not be as convenient here compared to Yun Hua. They did not have many patients here, and the patient distribution was extremely detailed, so it would be hard for Ling Ran to get a chance to perform the surgery.
"The conference will last for another three days, right?" Feeling a little down, Ling Ran asked Xue Haochu who sat beside him.
"Mainly tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Xue Haochu smiled faintly.
"Oh…" Ling Ran looked demotivated.
It was mainly because he felt bored.
He already had to endure the fact that he had no surgeries to perform, but lately, it seemed that the rate where he was banned from his game had also increased…
If he were at Yun Hua, at least he could still hang around his own home clinic. Even if he could only massage people, he would still feel better...
When he thought of this, it made Ling Ran shift his focus to the others' necks.
"It will be impossible to carry out tracheostomies. But we can still look for a chance for you to perform arthroscopies." Ji Tianlu understood it now. Some cows would get angry if they were assigned with too many chores, whereas some cows would get angry if they did not have enough work.
Brandon kept listening to their conversation through the interpreter. At this time, he went up and said, "May I join? I mean, may I join the arthroscopies. Achilles tendon surgeries are good too, but not tracheotomy."
"I can perform meniscoplasty." Ling Ran mentioned the skill name without any hesitation.
Ji Tianlu did not think much. He knew that Ling Ran liked to perform surgeries, so he only treated it as Ling Ran wanting to fulfill his desire to perform surgeries.
After he considered for a few seconds, Ji Tianlu said, "I'll find two patients with the correct medical indications from other hospitals and have them refer the patients here."
"And Achilles tendon repair technique," Brandon said.
"Why? Do you want to grab Ling Ran over to the United Kingdom to perform surgeries?" laughed Ji Tianlu. The medical environment overseas was even stricter. Foreign doctors who could not get a license would have to work as unskilled laborers. Some of them even worked as truck drivers. Ji Tianlu did not believe that Ling Ran would be lured away by Brandon.
Brandon only smiled faintly and said to Ling Ran, "If it's not convenient for doctors to go over, the patients can just come over. Doctor Ling, Mister Wallace places a very high value in your Achilles tendon repair, and he felt especially surprised when he saw some of the athletes' postoperative recovery. If you can ensure a high success rate, we can provide you a very good chance."
It would be better to look at the performance of the athlete after he or she recovered rather than just looking at the process of the Achilles tendon repair.
For patients who received treatment, the final result was more important than the process.
Based on the surgery Ling Ran performed on the athletes and the information provided from the MRI scans, Ling Ran would definitely be a doctor who was always welcomed by patients.
Ji Tianlu heard what Brandon said but remained quiet for a few seconds. Then, he talked to the interpreter, "Please translate what Doctor Brandon said more accurately."
"Alright." The translator closed his eyes and made the translation even more detailed.
Ji Tianlu and Xue Haochu listened by the side and shouted in their hearts, 'This is just reversed freelance surgery!
'If he performs surgeries for foreigners, he's going to earn buckets worth of money!
'Even if it doesn't earn him much, his reputation would still soar!'
"Young Xue, please tell Academician Zhu about this. Then, find another two athletes with Achilles tendon ruptures for Ling Ran." Ji Tianlu knew that he must not hold Ling Ran back. This was a chance other doctors could not get.


Ling Ran, a med school senior, begins to see the world like a game UI. He uses it to pave his way towards graduation, a residency, becoming the greatest doctor in the world... And finally getting a Transformer from his newbie packs? Maybe. We don't know yet.

Jam made his way to the library. The library was shaped like a pyramid and had four stories. The receptionist in the first level explained to Jam that each story corresponded to the Realms of the Mortal Plane. Cultivators of the Mortal Realm only had access to the first story, Spirit Realm cultivators had access up to the second story, Saint Realm cultivators could enter the third story, and those in the Sage Realm could enter the fourth story.

Jam knew that the Mortal Realm ended after the Core Formation Stage, but he had no knowledge of the higher Realms or their corresponding substages. 

To fill these gaps of knowledge, Jam asked where he could get general knowledge of the Realms in cultivation and books on the different types of energy. The receptionist happily complied with Jam's requests and in no time, Jam had a pile of the books he wanted on his table.

Jam spent half a day reading through the information on all the books he had picked up. He would have taken longer if not for Divinity boosting mental capacity to read faster.

It was a good thing cultivators don't care about time, leaving the library open 24/7; this aspect of cultivation culture extend to all the Academy's facilities, leaving all of them open all the time.

In the end, even after reading about the functions of the different types of energies, Jam still couldn't make up his mind, as he wanted to take on all of the Daos. At this time of not knowing how to choose, he repeated a phrase he used to hear from Woody from time to time, "Let's leave it up to fate."

Let's just say fate sorely disappointed Jam. After making his mind to leave it up to fate, he walked up to the receptionist again and asked where he could get techniques and skills. After navigating through the library to where the receptionist pointed towards, Jam found that all of the techniques were astronomically expensive.

'What the fuck? Why does a basic fire manipulation technique cost spirit stones? 100 spirit stones for a thunder technique? 50,000 spirit stone for the basics of space magic?!' Each skill that Jam looked at was more expensive than the last.

Spirit Stones were the currency of cultivators. Aside from being currency, spirit stones by themselves, could be used by cultivators to power up formations, or supplement cultivation. However, the effects of spirit stones in cultivation were pitiful when compared to alchemical pills or talisman inscriptions.

It was only when Jam made his way to the free techniques, that he began to see his plight lighten up. " Styles of the Cosmic Bow, Foundational Beam Magic, True Gravitational Manipulation, Thunderfire Cataclysm and True Demon Form. "

All these monstrous techniques were free, which seemed to be insane, considering the cost of the basic skills. Even more ridiculous, was the fact that the techniques' jade slips where not guarded by the receptionist, and were inside the books; a cultivator could straight up, steal these techniques from the library and none would be the wiser!

The books which housed the jade slips were only introductions to the techniques. There is no way that entire cultivation techniques could be written down, as the information for even the simplest techniques must be shared through experiences. Thus, cultivators invented jade slips which would directly store all kinds of information, including the experiences of the person recording the technique. 

At this point in time, Jam might not have enough energy within himself to cast energy attacks, but he had more than enough to read through some jade slips.

However, once Jam read the introduction to these techniques he understood why they were free to the public. Each of these techniques were without a doubt highly advanced to the point that even Sages would want to master them, however each technique had a more demanding requirement than the last.

Styles of the Cosmic Bow required a practitioner to be capable of pursuing the Dao of Bows and the Steller Dao in order to cultivate it. Both the Dao of Bows, and the Stellar Dao were extremely rare by themselves. Finding a suitable successor for this technique would be extremely unlikely. Fortunately, Jam had faked having Cosmic Control as his superpower, which made it reasonable if he practices this technique.

True Demon Form required a person to have a Demon Dao superpower as well as unlimited potential with Demonic energy. Even if a person met the requirements to acquire demonic energy, a cultivator would need to be a seasoned killer to have any progress with this technique, as its purpose was to ultimately let the user transform into a Greater Demon.

Thunderfire Cataclysm required a cultivator to have unlimited thunder energy and fire energy affinity, or have a rare mutated superpower that could make use of thunderfire fusion. Thunderfire fusion was just slightly less rare than spacetime fusion, putting their abilities roughly close to one another. However, both thunder and fire energies were strongly focused on attacking, while space and time energies could be considered allrounders, able to attack, defend, and support the user.

True Gravitational Manipulation required a cultivator to have a spacetime superpower and unlimited potential with both Space and Time energies. People with a spacetime superpower were extremely rare by themselves; having to have unlimited potential for space and time as well? One such person might not appear for millions of years. 

And most absurd of all, the Foundational Beam Magic required that a cultivator have unlimited affinity with at least 4 elements. Jam didn't know what kind of monster created this technique, requiring a person to have unlimited affinity with at least 4 elements! The book stressed the words AT LEAST several times. Meaning it could use the power of more than 4 energies combined. 

Technically speaking, people could cultivate this technique without meeting the prerequisite of having unlimited affinity with four types of energy. However, the core skills would not be available unless a cultivator had unlimited affinity with at least two types of energies.

Rarely would people have affinity for more than one energy or Dao. Even if they did, would they have equal potential for both types of energy? If less than one in a million people had unlimited affinity with one type of energy, less than one in a trillion would have unlimited affinity for two types of energy. Not everyone could be as broken as Jam, and have unlimited potential with every energy in existence.

Because all of these techniques were independent legacies of prominent cultivators of past, the jade slips that housed these techniques were special one-time-use jade slips. After a cultivator with the prerequisites to learn these skills used that jade slips to gain the ability to practice these skills, the jade slip itself would disintegrate. 

If Jam didn't possess his Divinity, these techniques would only make him want to cry. Jam could imagine the sadness that all new disciples of the academy would go through, after being taunted by such a large piece of cake, and not being able to eat it.

While there were still other formidable techniques up for free, Jam thought the he would have plenty to focus on with the ones he picked up. He didn't want to end up as a jack of all trades, being the ace of none.

With the techniques in hand, Jam left the library and headed home. On his way to his courtyard Jam began to review the knowledge of the cultivation world, he had gained from the jade slips in the library.

Currently, Jam was no longer on Earth, Rather he was on the planet Yhamnigh, headquarters to the Cultivation Academy. With this planet being the home of the Cultivation Academy, even if all the lower level sects in the planet banded together, in an attempt to fight against the academy, they would still be destroyed.

Jam learned that the Cultivation Academy was one of the upper leveled sects in the Mortal Plane. It wasn't the strongest, but given that it was able to secure a planet all for itself, it goes to show, the Cultivation Academy was no push over.

The books that Jam read about the Mortal Realm explained all of the stages of cultivation up to Immortal Ascension.

Body Tempering didn't count as a part of formal cultivation, as it didn't involve energy, so it was excluded from the Mortal Realm. The Mortal Realm comprised of five stages: Meridian Connecting, Qi Collecting, Palace Foundation, Palace Creation, and Core Formation. 

The the ultimate goal of cultivators in the Mortal Realm is to create the Core and Dao Palace. The purpose of a cultivator's Core is similar to that of a refinement plant, allowing for the instantaneous generation of compact energy. The Dao Palace's purpose is to protect the Core and be a gateway for law insights to be inscribed. Without the Dao Palace, inscribing law insights into one's body would be close to impossible and also very painful. 

After a cultivator had these in their Dantian Space, they could start condensing their soul, which would have the necessary foundation for fusing their mind, body, and energy.

Above the Mortal Realm is the Spirit Realm which only has three stages: Soul Condensing, Soul Fusion, and Rebirth. In the Spirit Realm a cultivator would condense their soul, fuse it with their body, then through several tribulations, also fuse their energy with their already fused soul and body.

Surpassing the Spirit Realm is the Saint Realm which housed five stages: False Saints, Saint Masters, Saint Grandmasters, Saint Lords, and Saint Gods. One of the requirements to progress in the Saint Realm is to have a Dao Domain. In the Saint Realm a cultivator would expand their Dantian Space while also working to perfect their Dao Domain.

After transcending the Saint Stage is the Sage Realm. The Sage Realm is made of: Lesser Sages, Greater Sages, Sage Kings, Sage Emperors, and Sage Gods. After reaching the limit of the Saint Stage a cultivator would have a perfected Dao Domain. However, to pass the Sage Stage and become an immortal, a cultivator would have to continue expanding their Dantian Space.

Sage Gods, according to the books of the library, were the highest ranked cultivators that the Mortal Plane could restrict. After reaching the Sage God Realm, cultivators could challenge the Immortal Tribulation to escape from the shackles of mortality, break through the void, and ascend into the Immortal Plane.

As far as Jam knew, while the academy had thousands of Saint Realm cultivators, it only had a couple of Sage Realm cultivators; The Sect Head, Guardian Elder, and Occupational Division Heads.

Follow the adventures of a boy named Jam on his journey to gain a purpose. Thrust onto the world of cultivation because of the silly encouragement of his foster grandmother and his ridiculously one-track-minded self, Jam's adventure is bound to be full of action, comedy, and self discovery. Hopefully, his stupidity will be cured before it affects his life too badly.

In the hot spring, there was me, Gareth, and Finn, we submerged ourselves in the hot spring. Gareth and Finn were surprised by the feeling of relaxation in the hot spring which made them to submerge themselves to that feeling. As we were at the hot spring, we started to talk to each other as a man of course,
"Finn, why don't you accept Tione's love all this time?" I said, well from the look of it Tione was already in love with Finn for quite some time and Finn respected that but didn't accept her love which made me question his motive not accepting her love.
"Alex, my ancestors' race lied about Goddess Fiona who we believed all this time, she was actually just a group of knights that had been deified by my ancestors. My race became depressed and submitted themselves to people who were stronger, I, as a fellow Pallum, was ashamed of my own race. We have books and knowledge to learn but my race didn't want to learn rather they just let the books to be accessories in the house. I realized this when my parents were killed by monsters that attacked the village in the middle of the night, I looked at the cowardness of other Pallum and courage in my parents' action as they protected me from the monsters. I decided to give hope and pride for the Pallum and made them realize that we aren't different from the rest. At the same time, I also need to make them to realize that our future generations will be strong like me or even stronger by having a Pallum heir." Finn narrated his story, I was shocked by how persistent he was and how much he sacrificed just to achieve that goal.
"Don't bother with that problem anymore, if they need a God to believe then I'll be the one since I'm the one who's providing them everything not like the others, I'm willing to give your race a chance to be the strongest in the night, in the shadow. And for that, you don't need to think about that problem anymore, accept Tione right now and I'll handle the Pallum but still, you need to be the one who convinces them." I said, I don't know how much weight he had been carrying on his shoulder but it was tough. He must be tired from all of this and if I could help then I'll help, he's a good man, respectable man. Finn started to think about it so I started to talk with Gareth
"Gareth how about you? Don't you want a partner also?" I said
"Hahaha~ Alex I do want a partner but look at me, I'm old now and already past my prime." Gareth said, as you know Gareth is a fatherly figure and has a good personality but he was old now, about 54 years old.
"Don't mind about that, both of you just look at the tattoo on your shoulder." I said, Finn and Gareth looked over their shoulder which there's really a tattoo, they were surprised but remembered about the tattoo on my lovers' tattoo.
"That tattoo symbolizes your loyalty to me and since you registered to be my citizens, you got your tattoo. That tattoo made you have unlimited potential and I can control your lifespan, in another word, I could tweak your age to be young again like 20 ish." I said
"Finn, do you not think that Gareth and Mia-san are perfect if they are in a relationship?" I said with a smirk, Finn looked at with a surprised face but he had a good head so he instantly understood what I was talking about.
"Ah yes, I do think that Gareth-san and Mia-san are perfect." He said with a smirk also, both of us looked at Gareth with a smirk and Gareth was having a hard time to not bash our heads. We joked around but seriously Gareth and Mia need to be in a relationship already both of them are single. Then I looked at Finn and asked
"So are you going to accept Tione?" Finn became serious again and looked at me
"Yes, I'm going to accept her." He said with a serious tone
"TIONE! YOUR LOVE IS ACCEPTED BY FINN! I CONGRATULATE YOU NOW!" I shouted, Finn had a red face and Gareth was laughing hard.
"REALLY?!" Tione shouted from the other side,
"OF COURSE! CONGRATULATION YOU TWO!" I shouted, I looked at Finn who really pissed off but happy as well. He took his towel and hit me with it and so I took mine and hit him also, we fought until we are exhausted but we paused for a bit earlier so I could buy sake or alcohol for Gareth, I took out a wooden bucket with 3 bottles of sake and a glass on it then pushed it over to Gareth and let him drown the sake. I mean dwarf supposed to like alcohol right? And they are heavy drinkers also. After a while, me and Finn slept in the hot spring because we were in it too long and Gareth who was already tripping had to shower in cold water and dressed up to call the girls and Tione to pick both of us up. Utaha, Ranye and Tione entered the hot spring and looked at both of us who were snoring at the edge of the hot spring, both of them shook their heads and what greeted us was buckets of cold waters, the other girls were still not used to seeing me naked but they will eventually. Both of us woke up and looked at them, we smiled wryly and they left the hot spring so we can take a shower and dressed up.
This is why I need bros, ok? Anyway we went off to our respective bedrooms and Ais went to sleep with Loki Familia since she wasn't my woman yet and for Finn and Tione, they shared a room together. I entered the bedroom with the girls, I looked at them and said
"Know this, I might or will have more girls in the future. Do you think you girls can accept that?" I need to straighten things up since I will be traveling to other worlds and I don't want them to just decide to end the relationship in the middle of me traveling the world. But I don't see any glints of uncertainty in their eyes only resoluteness in their eyes, this seems to be different from what I expected but this is better. The girls looked at each other and nodded their heads, Utaha as their representation said
"Of course, we will stick with you until the end."
"Then you are all my 'one of my loved ones'." I said while smiling, then their tattoo changed into Ryuu and Chloe's Tattoo. Out of nowhere, Utaha kissed me but not just a simple kiss but french one. Her tongue invaded my mouth forcing it to open but I was taken aback so she just invaded my mouth easily. She bit my tongue and just continued to play with my tongue, after half a minute she finished kissing me, I was breathing raggedly and Utaha was looking at me with heat in her eyes and I was still tasting Utaha saliva, it was fresh and sweet also. The other girls were literally jealous to the core as Utaha suddenly kissed me so they tried to kiss me and I was still trying to process what had happened because I'm still new in this. Chloe was the second one kissing me, she jumped at me which made me lied down on the floor and she was on top of me. She kissed me forcefully after a few moments she finished kissing, then Chloe trade place with Ryuu, Ryuu started kissing also then the cycle begins, from Ryuu to Heppy, from Heppy to Saber, from saber to Haruhime, from Haruhime to Ranye. I was out of breath after doing all that kissing but as a man I'm damn proud to be kissed by beauties, don't know Finn doing with Tione but I'm first bro.
The girls were pretty much arroused now and I'm still nearly 13 so I'm not going to take their first night yet, the girls pretty much went to the bathroom and took a shower with cold water to cool down. I tucked myself into the blanket and enjoyed the feeling of the blanket, I personally love blanket so bugger off, don't judge me. I became drowsy and Ryuu took my hand to sleep on it meanwhile Chloe hugged me and made me her bolster, I smiled and went to sleep.

First World: Danmachi
1 Chapter/day

There was tension in the conference room of the government complex in Astana. It was because Youngho had joined the conference on the day when there was a joint briefing of each ministry.
The cabinet ministers were getting in a sweat about the seemingly indifferent questions obviously asked by the Duke and Prime Minister.
 

"I don't understand why there's still express charge in government offices even though all process is faster now that government computer does everything that has been computerized, and payments had been actualized."

"The practice has been going on for a long time, and it's not like civil servants required them. People just leave express money at the offices and leave. We think that they're afraid that they'd be disadvantaged in their next visit."
 
"If the people feel obligated to pay express charge, this must be because of the authoritative attitude of civil servants. Please make sure to get it right."

"I'll make sure to carry it out."


The deep-rooted bad habits still remained even though a new country had been created and corruption had been wiped out.
The salaries had been actualized to prevent corruption, but there were no signs of improvement.
It seemed privatization was the only answer at this point.
Since government institutions could not be outsourced, government-affiliated organizations and state-run businesses would have to be handed over to the private sector. Only then would civil servants come to their senses, or there would be no hope.
If privatized, the era of unlimited competition would open up because no company would benefit from exclusive protection or budget support as public institutions.
They would have to earn money by themselves and pay employee salaries and invest in more facilities according to the market principle.
Then there would be the overall management needs of efficiency, speed, and flexibility, and when these economic factors joined the market, the private economy would also be active.
The companies would have to force themselves to work harder to pioneer new markets to gain more profits. As a result, they would pay more salaries to attract talent, and the domestic economy would be revitalized as their increased income would lead to increased consumption.
That would naturally lead to an increase in the middle class and lead the economy with domestic demand alone, even if the country encountered unfavorable external conditions.

 
"I have discussed this with His Highness, but I'd like all of you to transfer any state-run businesses or affiliated companies of each ministry to the private sector. At this rate, we won't have any competitiveness or meet the people's standards. Ministers, I urge you to submit a private transfer plan as soon as possible."


Prime Minister Kasim's remarks were tantamount to a bombshell announcement, so the conference room was stirred up.
In particular, the face of the Minister of Energy and Industry was turning yellow.
The Ministry of Energy and Industry alone had about 40 government-invested or state-run companies, but it did not seem that was not the only reason why he was startled.
Aigerim, the minister of energy and industry, looked at Youngho's face and cautiously voiced an opposition,


"Your Highness, Mr. Prime Minister. I understand that government-invested or affiliated companies are not highly competitive, but I wonder if domestic private companies can do their job properly. Please reconsider this."


The minister did not seem to trust the private sector.
Kasim, who pondered upon the energy industry minister's remarks, made an even stronger comment.
 
 
"If so, do you have confidence in improving lax management of the government organizations and state-run companies? Then I'll withdraw this announcement at any time."

"It is true that they had been wasting state coffers with their poor management, but under the new administration, they made some progress. I'm saying this because the sudden transfer to the private sector has a risk of an organized backlash."


"We're just changing the status of our employees from civil servants to civilian employees. If you work hard, you'll get better pay. What's your concern?"

"It's because it's obvious that most people will go astray the moment they move into the private sector. I'm afraid only a small number of employees survive in private companies.
This is bound to result in a high rate of unemployment, so why don't we take time until the final decision?"
 

The remnants of socialism were so deep-rooted that it would be nothing short of a shock to employees who worked only moderately, but they had enough chance to improve and change their ways of working since the new government. Any more grace would only gnaw national competitiveness.


"You're saying we need to drag out uncompetitive institutions because of incompetent employees? If you're worried about them, at least retrain them. You'd have that much budget for such a task."

"People are also embarrassed by the sudden change."
"The people who are embarrassed are not the people, but the civil servants and employees of public corporations. If you have any intention of serving your country, you should welcome the change. Tell them to work harder and build up their skills to stay in position."

"..."


Perhaps because Youngho was backing him up, Kasim's voice was getting stronger and higher than ever.
As Prime Minister Kasim did not seem to budge, Cabinet members in the room finally quieted down.
 

***


"Mr. Prime Minister, I think I pushed it too hard. When I looked at the expressions of the cabinet ministers, I could tell that they're not confident in this. I'm afraid there's going to be a lot of resistance from the management."


After the conference, Youngho chatted with Prime Minister Kasim over tea in the minister's office.


"This is what you've been saying since the beginning of the new administration. And some ministries were already preparing to transfer their subsidiaries into private entities. As for the Minister of Energy and Industry, there are so many agencies and public corporations that he must not have any clue about where to begin."
 
"Some of them will need a lot of help from you."
 
"Of course. Minister Aigerim works very hard, but he has a lot of sense of authority. It would be very difficult for him to get rid of the public corporations and affiliated organizations because he must have his people scattered in them. He's been abusing his power of human resources, and now it's time for him to leave all that behind. We would've started this since the beginning."

"That's why we have to transfer to the private sector and be competitive. No matter how much we've changed, there's still a long way to go from my perspective. If they knew how the companies owned by the royal family make profits, they'd all fall out of their chair."

"I'm just ashamed. I'd have no more wish if state-run businesses can do their job only about a tenth of what the companies owned by the royal family can do. Does it make sense that even our resource exploration is done by a foreign company?"


The royal family's shipping company that did businesses all around the world was always busy around the clock because it would be pushed out of the competition if it was lax.
Zeynep Wine which produced premium wine could take it easy by now, but master artisans were still working all night setting the temperature of the mature room for better quality.
In order to survive in an era of unlimited competition, any company must make strenuous efforts or it would give up the lead at any time.
However, the public corporations had not put in such efforts since the beginning of the country. That was why Kazakhstan did not join even the ranks of middle-power countries despite its abundant resources.


"Your Grace, I think we need to add more resource research companies. Foreign companies alone are not enough."

"Really? I thought it was going well."

"Currently, we've only done one-fifth of the research in the central part. It's going to take another ten years to make the national resource distribution map."

"Would you please recommend a company, Prime Minister?"

"What companies would I know? There's a domestic company, but honestly, I don't trust it. Couldn't the geological survey company in the royal territory work on it?"

"Well, it's not much of a company. There are only a few experts and staff."

"Why don't you expand the investigation team a little bit? Wouldn't it be like we're leaking state secrets to foreign countries if we let foreign companies handle the research? I heard your resource exploration team is very talented. Wasn't there a groundbreaking research result in the royal territory recently?"

"Well, I'm looking forward to it. I learned that there's such capability with bentonite only this time."


What Prime Minister Kasim said was about the other functionality of bentonite.

Bentonite had been found to purify contaminated soil and promote the growth of plants, as well as its use for cosmetics and medicine.
Even though a small amount of bentonite was sprayed on the land, it resulted in the fast growth of plants.


"Is it harmless to the human body?"

"There's no harm. It turned out that it boosts the strength of the soil as well as plant growth."

"Then we could probably restore the land that had been contaminated by pesticides during the Soviet times."

"It's quite possible."

"How much bentonite is buried under the royal territory?"

"It's inexhaustible. It's hard to quantify because it's all over western Kazakhstan."

"I guess the key would be refining."

"It won't be terribly hard with modern technology."

"Wow, I used to blame our ancestors who settled in this barren land, but it was, in fact, a huge gift from them."


Although Kasim said Kazakhstan was barren, it was, in fact, a blessed land.
All kinds of minerals were buried at a world-class level, including oil and gas which were the source of money that made dollars right away.
The crude oil deposit was the world's ninth-largest as there were 39.8 billion barrels of confirmed oil and an estimated 124.3 billion barrels.
Gas also ranked 17th in the world, while zinc, tungsten, uranium, lead, chromium, copper manganese, and others boasted the world's first or second-largest reserves.
In addition, most of the minerals on Earth were buried in large quantities, so it was yet to know how many more would be found in the future because the estimated volume of reserves was increasing year by year.
As Kazakhstan was such a place, Youngho was eager to make a domestic resource map.

Shuang Er came back from her thoughts after a while.

She could tell that the young Taoist priest was not trying to sneer at her intentionally. Instead, he really didn't take her words into consideration. Looking at his serious and calm expression, she felt her anger rising up within her.

She said angrily, "You will die."

Chen Chang Sheng opened his eyes and said, "Everyone will die."

Shuang Er said, "You know that I didn't mean it that way."

Chen Chang Sheng said seriously, "Thank you for informing me about the situation."

Shuang Er's face turned angrier by the second and she said, "The Madam wanted to annul the engagement, there definitely will be payback. Why did you have to get upset and tell her that you came to cancel the engagement? Did you do it so that you can get your pride back? If you really did make a decision based on your pride, it's still fine but why did you change your mind at the last moment? Such an attitude is surely not pretty."

"Actually….I really did come to cancel the engagement, whether if you choose to believe it or not. However, I don't want to cancel it anymore."

"Why?"

Chen Chang Sheng tilted his head and pondered seriously. A smile gradually appeared on his immature face because he ascertained that he found a reason which could be used to convince himself, and he said, "Because….you guys never asked for my name."

"Why?"

Shuang Er did not understand.

"From entering the estate till now, whether the Madam or you, neither of you have asked for my name."

Chen Chang Sheng looked at her and said, seriously, "My name is Chen Chang Sheng. I know this name is really crude, but my master wished for me to live a long life. (Chang Sheng means longevity in Chinese) The intention is really nice, so I kept this name."

After saying these words, his eyes became bright and his attitude became decorous.

Shuang Er suddenly thought that the ordinary young Taoist priest revealed some sort of luster. It was probably due to that serious temperament. After understanding his reasons, she no longer felt confused or bewildered.

Ever since he entered the Divine General's Estate, no one asked for his name. Although he was treated this way, he didn't show any anger or the feeling of having been humiliated. When he was talking to the Madam or Shuang Er, he behaved politely all the time, without lacking in any courtesy. Even though he appeared slightly inflexible and old-fashioned, strangely, the people who made him unhappy were the ones who were eventually worse off than him.

It's not that he was good at making people unhappy, but he was serious when doing the things he thought he should do. His decision to cancel the engagement felt right to him in that others can't deny the choices that he makes himself. Because the people who made him unhappy weren't able to ignore his decisions, they were left feeling worse than him.

Shuang Er had lived on the Divine General's Estate since she was a child. Because of her master, she had a high status. Even the Divine General and The Lady of the estate wouldn't criticize her. Moreover, she had never encountered people like Chen Chang Sheng. Chen Chang Sheng made her feel insecure and she wasn't used to it.Not sure if she wanted to convince Chen Chang Sheng or herself, she softened her tone and said,

"On the entire continent, only My Lady possesses the blood of the phoenix. She is unique!"

"My senior brother had a quote in his notes. I've always thought it was very rational, now I give it to you, hopefully you can understand it later on. He said: everyone in the world is unique."

Chen Chang Sheng gave her a serious look.

....

At the end of the long street there was a shabby stone arch bridge. Under the bridge was not Luo River, but instead, it was a small unnoticeable river. Chen Chang Sheng walked on the bridge and turned back to looked at the Divine General's Estate. He felt that the region was quite prosperous. Among the countless big houses, Xu Mansion was the most outstanding one. He involuntarily shook his head.

After he went into the capital, he didn't go visiting famous attractions. He also didn't have any urge to go see the Mausoleum of Books. Instead, he simply cleaned up a bit on the side of the Luo River and walked directly to the Divine General's Estate. He wanted to cancel the engagement. He really was in a rush. If he married the Divine General's daughter, but he couldn't cure his disease, he would be wasting her life. Why would he implicate her? Even if it was curable, it would probably still take many years.

Out of goodwill, he did not want to waste someone else's youth , but he didn't expect that he would face the supercilious looks, contempts, and ridicule of others at Xu Mansion. Now he recalled that after he reached the age of ten, the temple had not receive her gifts anymore. The two sides stopped interacting with each other, which meant the opposite side already had the intention of breaking the engagement. Today he had come to the Capital to actively cancel the engagement. This was originally a simple thing, a thing that both sides wanted but he didn't expect to encounter such an outcome. Therefore he changed his mind on the spot.

He did not cultivate and he was not a Taoist priest, but he had read the Scriptures of The Way (Taoist canon) since childhood so he was deeply influenced by them. His destiny was gloomy from the start, therefore, during his journey he chose to follow the will – The so called "follow the will" was basically to feel at ease. Traveling for so long to reach the Capital in order to cancel the engagement was following the will. Not canceling the engagement was also following the will — The Divine General's Estate was impolite so he didn't want them to feel at ease, because then he wouldn't feel at ease.

Of course, Chen Chang Sheng only wanted the Divine General's wife, who hid coldness behind her kind face, and the maid, whose eyes only looked at the sky, to feel harried for a while. After a few days, he would still return the marriage contract. Life and death matters more than a grudge, Miss Xu's lifelong happiness was obviously more important than the cold reception and supercilious looks he received. He still thought that way.

However, it was still not a happy event. Sometimes, Chen Chang Sheng himself would even forget that he was only a 14 year old boy, but in the end, he was still but a boy. He had his own pride, so he would feel unhappy after being humiliated.

He walked down the stone bridge and bought two sesame seed cakes from a street shop. He squatted on the stones near the river and ate the cake while looking at the distant Divine General's Estate. He felt slightly sour. He knew where the feeling originated from, but he also knew that if he let such a feeling overflow it would hurt his own health and wouldn't help in solving the problem.

On the Luo River, the boats were like clouds. On the long street, on the opposite side of the river, there were wolf riders from the west. Even from a really far distance, people can still smell the rancid scent from the huge wolves' mouths. There was a shadow flowing by the river surface. Looking up, he saw a horse with two white wings dragging a gorgeous wagon to the North. At the distant archer tower, red eagles kept arriving and departing to transfer military info. At the farther green sky, there were more flying mounts from the military, like annoying dragonflies outside the temple…

This is the Capital of the Zhou Dynasty. There were countless scenes that country-folk couldn't even imagine. Chen Chang Sheng was biting his sesame seed cake. Opening up his eyes, enjoying these pictures, and comparing them to what he read in the Scriptures of The Way, he thought that maybe he could get to see legendary creatures such as the turtle that had carried stone pillars for over 3000 years at Li Palace. He was not sure if there was still dragons in the Imperial Palace. He heard that the most noble and rare Golden Dragon had not shown up in the secular world for several tens of thousands years. Would he get to see it in the future? Oh, there was also the phoenix….. Thoughts like these ran through his head while he ate.

The sesame seed cake smelled very good but it was very hard as well. It took some effort to eat it. Chen Chang Sheng originally thought that he had already forgotten about what he experienced at the Divine General's Estate and had successfully rid himself of the sour feelings, but after thinking about the word "phoenix," he automatically recalled the phoenix blood that he heard today. He recalled Xu Mansion's young Lady who possessed the phoenix blood, and recalled the gifts he received from many years ago….

He looked at the last piece of sesame seed cake in his hand. Dazed for a while, he put it into his mouth and carefully chewed thirty two times. Swallowing it into his stomach, he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and cleaned up the cake crumbs. He stood up and packed up, before disappearing in the crowd.

He did not notice that in the corner, not far away, there was an unimpressive wagon. At an unimpressive place on the wheel, there was a bloody phoenix symbol. Of course, even if he saw it he wouldn't know that this symbol represented the Divine General of the Eastern Decree's Estate– After young Miss Xu was born, the Divine Empress had presented the bloody phoenix to the Divine General's Estate as a new emblem. This was a high prestige and some sort of declaration.

Looking at the area under the bridge, the warhorse, that appeared cold and aloof in front of the wagon, had unicorn's blood. Inside the wagon, the old lady's eyes were also very cold, but there was also surprise, caution, and worry in her eyes.

After Chen Chang Sheng left the Divine General's Estate, she had followed him. She didn't know that after the youngster saw the Zhou Capital he would continue to remain that calm. He didn't look like an uneducated country child at all . That was because she didn't know the youngster had already read countless books since he was very young. In the books he had already seen countless landscapes and traveled countless miles.

....

Xu Shi Ji sat in his study room. His enormously built body spread a slight scent of blood. Ten yards away from the window, the birds were hiding their heads beneath their wings and dared not to make any noise. The strong bloody presence proved the horrific power of this Great Zhou General but it also showed that he wasn't in a good mood.

The reason for his irritated mood was the jade pendant on his table.

"When my father was still the Prime Minister, he was deeply trusted by the Divine Empress. He was sent by her to Mount Tai to perform a ceremony for the dynasty. The demon race tried to sabotage the event by sending out Gong Yang Chun to assassinate my father and he was severely wounded. It was so bad that even The Pope couldn't heal his wound. Only until a traveling Taoist traveled past Tai Shan City and healed his wound did he live. Therefore this marriage vow was made.

Madam Xu whispered, "Then that Taoist must have had some extraordinary skills."

Xu Shi Ji raised his head and looked at the bright sky out of the window, "We live in a world with unlimited possibilities and countless heroes. That Taoist was regarded as a saint in the field of medication and healing. Of course he was extraordinary. Why else would father vow to marry Rong Er to his heir?"

Madam Xu was nervous, "Right now the most important thing is that marriage vow…..If that Taoist has no background and isn't some important figure, then this situation can be handled much smoother, without many interruptions."

Xu Shi Ji answered expressionlessly, "Teach that young Taoist to be a little more sensible."

Madam Xu lowered her voice so low that if one didn't listen carefully it couldn't even be heard, "The young Taoist didn't seem like a character that can be placated by simple gifts. What if he stands his ground? The Mausoleum of Books is going to open next year and the Southern Saints are definitely going to send people here. I'm afraid that they are going to propose to the government. We can't mess up during a time like this."

Xu Shi Ji closed his eyes slightly, like a tiger going to sleep, "Then just burn him into ashes and throw them into the river."

The raining season was arriving soon and the water level of the River Luo was about to rise. Ashes or bones, once they sunk into the river, they will all disappear in an instant.

To pick is to choose. This is a story about choices. Three thousand world full of gods and demons, with a scroll in hand you are able to control the entire universe… At the beginning of time, a mystical meteor came crashing down from outer space and scattered all over the world. A piece of it landed in the Eastern Continent. There were mysterious totems carved upon the meteor, and people gathered around it wanting to discover its usage. They discovered the Way, and established The Tradition. Several thousand years later, the fourteen years old orphan Chen Chang Shang left his master to cure his illness and change his fate. He brought a piece of marriage vow with him to the capital, thus began the journey of a rising hero.

This is a personal collection for my own use.

West of the central continent, near a large city known as Huangzun City, there was an extremely giant cave known as Jianan Cave.
Opening up a close to 30 thousand feet deep, 2 thousand miles wide space in a cave.
Within the cave that spread tens of miles, there were all kinds of Buddha statues: 800 Luohan, the various bodhisattvas, ten over buddha ancestors. Each had a different level of sentience, causing the cave to be filled with a seven-colored light. Even if one was tens of miles away, they could see that spiritual light shine.
If one walked further into the depths of the cave--if one's body had a certain amount of Buddhist ability--they could step into a special space.
It was a hundred thousand feet wide, similar to that of a vast habitat.
Jingyin walked around in the depths of the cave, wearing a wide monk robe and white shoes, without a single bit of dust on it.
Looking all about curiously, her eyes filled with joy as well as curiosity.
Every time she passed a buddha or bodhisattva statue, she would bow respectfully--she was really sincere with no other thoughts at all.
The last one was Sakyamuni, who was huge. There was a lotus in his hand and a slight smile on his face. Jingyin bowed. Then, she followed a small path and climbed slowly upwards. When she stepped on the lotus on the palm, the scenery in front of her eyes changed.
She seemed to be in a whole different wide space. It was a million feet wide. At a glance, one couldn't see the borders of the place.　
Not far away, there was a temple that looked similar to that of a palace hall which occupied a large space.
Jingyin knew that she was still within the Jianan cave--On that lotus.
The entire space where the Jianan temple was located was built within this Buddhist treasure which was shaped like a lotus.
She looked around. Many tempered red-robed monks walked in and out of that temple entrance.
At this moment, not only was Jingyin curious, but even those monks were looking over with a questioning gaze.
Some of them were attracted by her out of this world beauty. While some of them felt curious. This was a temple and not a convent, so what was a nun doing all the way here in a monk temple?
Jingyin didn't care. She looked around excitingly.
In her heart, she thought to herself that this was the males that her master told her about. They were different from them.
She looked towards the north before her expression froze up. The north wall here as expected had once collapsed.
Although it looked perfectly fine, it was repaired not long ago.
"Is that junior sister Jingyin?"
A teen monk wearing the clothing of a managing disciple walked out of the gate to welcome.
Jingyin looked at the head of his person, and she saw 6 scars.
"I am Zhiyuan. Junior sister can just call be senior brother! Follow me, Master Linghai has been waiting for many hours within the Daxiong Hall…"
Jingyin nodded her head and followed Zhiyuan into the temple. Along the way, she found it weird. Many teen monks were exchanging glances and words with one another. Hearing their words, they were borrowing spiritual artifacts and Taoist spiritual talismans.
Occasionally, there would be space ripples in the sky. There seemed like people were teleporting over there.
When Zhiyuan saw the situation, he couldn't help but smile and explain, "Junior sister doesn't know, but 2 hours ago, Sword prince Jueyu and common people Tanqiu agreed to fight in front of common people vast habitat. Till now, a victor hasn't been decided. Who knows what had happened, but the senior brothers who headed overall sent back news to say that both of them are the best sword experts in a hundred years. They also said that the battle is a classic peak sword intent battle. As for these small teleportation formations and space crossing pearls, they suddenly became in hot demand. Many senior brothers and junior brothers want to head over to have a look…"
Jingyin exclaimed, showing a shocked expression. Since young, she spent her time in a convent and was brought up by her master. As such, she knew very little about the cultivation world.
However, this Jueyu was so famous, and she had heard about him.
He challenged 10 shrines, 19 spiritual houses, and didn't lose a single time. Even if he faced grade 9 experts, he was able to retreat without taking serious injuries.
Such a person was legendary. Jingyin thought that in this world, Jueyu should be unique.
So in this world, there was someone who could be compared to him…
After saying those words, Zhiyuan scoffed in disdain, "They all have no eyes! A grade 7 and a grade 8, how strong can they be? Even if it is dazzling, it is still a sword battle beneath the celestial path. Why are they so anxious? Wasting so many small teleportation talismans for no reason!"
Although he said those words, Zhiyuan's footsteps seem to impatiently hurry as he walked forwards.
They rushed forward and went through several gates, coming to the front of an extremely huge hall. On the signboard road the name "Daxiong".
Da had the meaning of encapsulating everything; Xiong meant to suppress demons. It was always the name of the main hall of Buddhist temples.
Jingyin followed Zhiyuan in. In her heart, she was feeling weird. This hall which was to respect the 3 Buddhas didn't seem like the place where one would receive a guest.　　
Why was senior master Linghai receiving her here?
Stepping into the gates, she saw an unfamiliar looking, white and fat old monk sitting on a praying mat. He wore a purple gold kasaya, seeming noble and rich. However, at this moment he was frowning, sighing out loud like he was worried about something.
After Zhiyuan brought her here, he bowed and left.
Jingyin wasn't afraid of unfamiliar situations. She first bowed towards Sakyamuni, Medicine Buddha, and Siddhartha Buddha.
Then she did a Buddhist greeting towards the fat monk, "Disciple Jingyin greets senior master Linghai!"
"You finally came, sit!"
He pointed towards the prayer mat opposite him. It wasn't until she sat down did Linghai speak, "Did your master tell you about the reason why you came?"
Jingyin shook her head. In truth, she didn't know why her master asked her to rush over to this Jianan cave.
"It seems like I must be the one to be the bad person this time."
Linghai sighed, his face helpless, "From today on, you are kicked out of the sect. You must return to the world!"
Jingyin was startled, but she wasn't shocked at all. She didn't panic, just blinking--her eyes filled with a questioning expression.
When Linghai saw that, he couldn't help but praise. This girl was really intelligent.
"During these few days, have you learned of the changes in our cloud world Buddhist temples?"
Jingyin nodded her head, "I heard that 3 days ago the Buddhist statues all glowed, the north wall collapsing. There was no exception. After the matter master said that the north is a respected position, all gods sat in the north and faced south. The wall was built to split up inside from the outside. Master said that this is our buddhist's predestined fate--luck where people are brought together!"
"Your master always had good comprehension! That is indeed the case!"
Linghai smiled, his expression was complicated, "Do you know that days ago, the many buddha ancestors all gave some decrees! Not only our jianan cave, the shanming temple, white horse temple, xiangguo temple, etc--most of them were like that. Without exception, they were all 4 words!"
Jingyin face filled with shock. Then, she saw Linghai point towards her sides.
Jingyin looked towards where his fingers pointed to, understanding the reason why Linghai would choose this place to meet her.
She saw that on the gold-colored ground, there were 2 large words on the right and left side. There was no shape or trace, but only an injection of intent. Only if one focused could one read it.
...Unlimited light! Endless darkness!
Amongst those words, each of them was filled with huge amounts of Buddhist power, as well as the many Buddhist paths.
Jingyin looked at if for a moment before she felt her soul hurting, not daring to continue looking on.
"Unlimited light and endless darkness? What does that mean?"
"You can see the words. And can last over a breath?"　　
Linghai moved forwards and sized up Jingyin, "This time we found the right person. My useless disciples...Even if they went all out, they could only read a portion of it, unable to last for half a breath. Oh! Not bad, looks and aura, the top choice in the world. You will be able to complete this matter."
Seeing her brows furrow, Linghai awkwardly smiled, his body moving backward.
"It is indeed unlimited light and endless darkness! Before this, I didn't know what it meant. I only comprehended it yesterday that we must search for a person who has both of these features and accept him into our Buddhist school."
When Jingyin heard that, her face was filled with loss," However isn't unlimited light the power grasped by dari rulai? The light shines all over, not being destroyed and not being produced, an important feature of Vairocana…"
Halfway into her words, Linghai waved his hand to interrupt her. He silently placed a few scriptures in front of Jingyin.
She saw that they were all scriptures related to dari rulai.
Dari garbha scripture, vairocana light scripture, great sun dharma scripture...　　
Ten over books made of special materials, all scriptures who could carry the big path.
Jingyin curiously flipped open. Then, her expression finally changed. She flipped several books, with no exception, all of them changed.
"3 days ago all dari rulai scriptures changed unlimited light to vast light. After this person formed his foundations, even Vairocana doesn't there to say he carries unlimited light…"
Jingyin's expression froze as she placed down the books in her hand.
"Vairocana is the personification of the sun. I don't understand. What path has even stronger light power than the sun? Endless darkness...which means this person has both light and darkness? Unlimited light and endless darkness, they should be conflicting. How is that possible?"
"Your senior master doesn't understand either! However, we can confirm that these 4 words referred to one person!"
Linghai laughed awkwardly, "Kicking you out of the sect is for you to find him. No matter what you do and what price, you have to get him to join the Buddhist sect. Even if you can't you need him to help us. Jingyin are you willing to devote yourself to our Buddhism?"
