The Burning Heaven clan was one of the top powers on the continent, but as I had them all slaughtered... wait? I did have the clan head slaughter them all right? Right? Well, let's say if I had done more research into my willpower, I would have known that the mind control effect wouldn't last forever.
I never bothered to check or see if the clan was destroyed or not... why would I give so much attention to ants when I had better stuff to do? I'm so high up, if I lowered myself like that for every ant, I feared for my back-breaking.
Anyways, let's say that the sect master currently had a burning hatred towards me... get what I did there? Burning Heaven clan, Burning hatred...
But the burning Heaven Clan didn't simply hate me, they had a deep hatred towards Yun Che who not long ago had offended them. but since Yun Che was a part of the White Clouds sect, they didn't dare until they became life-and-death enemies with me.
"Boy, just give up." Next to a coffin, a young red-haired man was screaming while holding his head, a soul at the moment was trying to take over his body. This was the son of the current clan head of Burning Heaven clan, for revenge, he went to see what was the dark secret their clan had been protecting for years... but to think it was some demonic soul that would be sealed away and now it was trying to take over his body.
"No," Fen Juechen cried while trying to fight back, but he was no match for the power of this soul. this soul of a demon was going to devour him and take over his body, but it suddenly stopped trying to take over his body.
"You're... I see..." the soul said after a moment of shock, Fen Juechen was confused, but as the soul went on to let him absorb it, allowing him to break through he sighed in relief... it was weird as he broke through to the Soul transformation realm in the following few days.
Fen Juechen opened his eyes, and found himself just laying on the ground, the knowledge of the soul flashing in his mind. He lay there with a blank eye, in his eyes the memory of his past life also flashed across his eyes.
That soul he just devoured... it was his dad from his past life. He covered his face, wanting to cry right now, but he put his feelings to the side while getting up.
'First thing first, I will use Yun Che to get to Wu Xian.' He thought while putting his feelings to the side. Right now he needed to defeat Wu Xian and get revenge for his current clan, at the same time he needed to get revenge on Yun Che as he had killed his younger brother and even tried to cover things up.
'No... I should get that sword... is it still in this realm.' He thought while remembering the sword that was passed down through the royal family of the demon clan. In his past life, his family guarded that sword, but the humans of this world managed to steal it. They of course tried their best to get it back, this is how he and his father ended up dying.
Fen Juechen thought for a moment, before summoning a sword and cutting his palm. In his past life, he didn't know how to summon that blade, but in this life, his father held that knowledge, so he knew.
'I will return the sword where it belongs, that I promise. Mighty Heavenly Sword Region will pay.' He thought with a cold glare. in his eyes, The Mighty Heavenly sword region was the power he had to destroy above everything else.
Space rippled as a sword far away was being summoned. far away within Might Heavenly Sword Region, Xuanyuan Wentian frowned while looking at his sword. He watched the sword for some time before sighing, letting it disappear. He watched as it shot into the sky, disappearing. He stood there, his hands behind him while watching all of this play out.
"... Blue Wind? To think there was someone there carrying that bloodline. It was my biggest regret slaughtering you all, but the heavens are blind." He said with a cold and demonic smile. although he couldn't help but wonder what was so great about Blue Wind, an immortal was there, 3 heaven-defying prodigies, and now this? but why should he care, it would all come around to benefit him...
When Yun Che returned to Red River City. he had arrived at the right time as the river near the village had turned red, this was a weird reaction that happened once every 5 years, which is why it got its name.
To say the least, a party was thrown upon his return. Yun Che was welcomed by everyone, but the people he cared most for were his parents, who he went on to start helping to cultivate...
"I don't think this Wu Xian is such a big deal, you're a thousand times greater than him any day of the week." Xiao Lingxi said with a smile, Yun Che smiled at her attempts to cheer him up. But he didn't need cheering up as he was sure he could defeat me one day.
He looked towards Xiao Lingxi, she wasn't a beautiful girl and was called ugly by many. but Yun Che never cared for such a thing and was planning to make her his wife one day...
'Yun Che, something is coming your way, hurry and flee.' Jasmine said in a panic, Yun Che frowned deeply. he wanted to get up and flee, but at that time he felt it and quickly realized it was pointless to run.
"..." He looked at the sight of Fen Juechen, floating in the sky without the need for a flying sword. They both locked eyes, while Yun Che stepped forward, shielding Xiao Lingxi behind him. Fen Juechen waved his hand, and with a flash, Yun Che was sent flying away while coughing up a mouthful of blood.
Yun Che quickly healed himself, just to see Xiao Lingxi floating into the sky, held by Fen Juechen's spiritual power. Yun Che's eyes turned red seeing this, he would sooner die than sit back and let someone just kidnap Xiao Lingxi.
"You kill my little brother, I have all right to kill your lover... but I will not. I will give you a chance, help me defeat Wu Xian by giving me his weakness and other such things, and she is free." He said calmly. He knew of my strength... no, everyone knew that I had defeated a level 9 Soul Transformation realm expert, so he knew he couldn't take me lightly.
"And how am I supposed to know that?" Yun Che said angrily,
"Wu Xian puts great hope in you, I'm sure you can get it out of him if you try... if not, I lose nothing. I give you one month. At the slightest hint of danger, I will ensure she suffers before death." He said before floating backward, about to disappear.
"... Are you willing to make an oath?" Yun Che asked through gritted teeth. this made him look at Yun Che for some time, before looking at the scared Xiao Lingxi who couldn't even say a word under his pressure. She was scared shitless at the moment.
He sighed softly as he wasn't ruthless enough to kill her, so he made the oath and had Yun Che also make an oath, which Yun Che did.
"The way to get through Wu Xian's defenses is by knowing how his ability works..." Yun Che sighed while speaking. He knew Fen Juechen wasn't a match for me, and I might even enjoy the battle, he didn't even think for a second that I would be angry. he didn't see me as the type to get angry about a serious battle.
"..." Fen Juechen looked at him seriously, but seeing as Yun Che wasn't punished by the heavens, he believed him. But he didn't let Xiao Lingxi go, instead, he wanted Yun Che to get him more information... so he disappeared, and went to try and break through first. Once he was strong enough and had enough of my weaknesses, he shall make his move...
"It's weird seeing you so calm." Sitting before a chessboard, I looked at the old man making his move. I frowned as he took my queen, seeing this, my old man laughed lightly.
"You are having such a hard time seeing other stuff as a battle." He said while I tried to see a way to reverse the bad position I was in, but I couldn't see a way to win. My spirit was crushed without my queen, she was the strongest piece on the board.
"How does reading people in battle work?" He asked calmly, to which I sighed before explaining.
"The lightest twitch of the muscle can tell a whole story. but just the twitch alone isn't everything. So, I have to take into account how they walk, talk, react, and other such things. use them all to form a clear picture... no a picture is the wrong word, but a Book. I can flip ahead or back, giving me full knowledge on them to some degree." I said lightly,
"Sounds complex." He said to which I nodded slightly.
"it was at first, but as you master it, it becomes as simple as breathing. It wasn't until a few months back I mastered how to read a person down to their weaknesses. I could now see every weak point in a person's body as simple as breathing. I could even tell their fighting style, character, and other such things upon seeing them once." I said while looking seriously at the board.
"Then, why don't you add those elements to the chessboard? See every move as a twitch of the muscle which would lead to the final blow or something." He said to which I looked at him weirdly. Did this old man not understand I was a genius, I of course thought about doing just that... and I failed.
"I wish it was that simple... I have been trying to look at things in such a way for the longest... but it's like trying to use Red." I said while I held out my finger, and tried to use red, just to fail. Red wasn't something that needed me to be strong, but needed me to have some deeper understanding of energy.
Back in the anime, to use Red, One needed to make use of something called the Reverse Curse Technique. It's when one takes curse energy and reverses it, creating positive energy. Curse energy is born from negative emotions, Reverse cursed technique uses the principle of multiplying a negative by another negative to produce a positive.
Let me ask you a question... How was I able to use Blue? A technique that needed me to use curse energy? a technique that needed me to use negative numbers?
Before answering that, let me ask you another question. Was Qi a positive or a negative? Qi was 0. It wasn't a negative or a positive energy.
When I started my cultivation journey, I could only use Infinity, Blue was something I couldn't do for the longest. I was only able to do so once I learned to use Qi in a way to mimic negative energy... and yes, I knew Blue was most likely not as strong as it should be. Now, I needed to have Qi mimic positive energy.
there were many ways I tried to do this, and I failed each time. for years, I have tried to do this one technique and I have failed. A negative was easier than a positive, and this was something I was forced to admit.
"You will be able to do it one day... what's the point if it's today or tomorrow?" He asked to which I rolled my eyes, although it couldn't be seen thanks to my blindfold.
"You never know what tomorrow holds... It's best to enjoy life when you have the strength to protect the peace." I said while looking towards Xia Qingyue who was walking over.
"Yun Che came to see you." She said making me blink slightly, but I nodded while going to see him. Yun Che upon seeing me had a weird look... he believed he had the right to feel weird seeing his wife was my disciple.
"By the looks of things, something is worrying you. Jasmine, mind telling me what's going on?" I asked with a bored yawn, with a simple look I saw through Yun Che. He was stressed out and was forced to come here due to something.
"Sharp," Jasmine said while appearing in the air, I looked at her slightly before sighing. Jasmine was indeed powerful, but she was in a weakened state. it looks like she needed Yun Che to create a new body for her. Right now, even her soul was poisoned, and thanks to the Sky Poison Pearl, she was still alive.
"I expected too much from a brat, of course, if you can be poison, it meant you were weak," I said softly, making a vein appear on Jasmine's forehead, with a flash, she attacked me, but all she saw was after images, followed by my palm slamming hard into her stomach.
Jasmine landed on the ground behind me, before taking a few steps, followed by her coughing up a mouthful of blood, her poison had suddenly gone berserk. With a flash, she returned to the Sky Poison Pearl, not daring to step back out.
"You're too weak... Anyway, since she scared me. I'm suffering from many mental problems. how am I going to afford all of the medical bills? the nightmares I will suffer, and what if this slows down my already slow cultivation? Was this your plan from the start?" I asked with an uneasy look, making Yun Che speechless.
Jasmine and even Xia Qingyue didn't know what to say at this shamelessness, who was scared? Shouldn't Jasmine be the one feeling scared right now?
"What do you want?" Yun Che asked through gritted teeth, he wasn't in a good mood in the first place, now he was about to be scammed and he could do nothing about it.
"I want to study the Sky Poison Pearl. I heard that it holds a truly endless dimension within. I want to see it." I said calmly, stunning Yun Che. The pearl has infinite inner storage space. The space is similar to a spatial ring but with infinite size and other special properties. For example, food and drink can be kept in their indefinitely without spoiling. The pearl possesses its spirit which lives inside the inner space. It can also house other occupants but only in their spirit form. Jasmine was a spirit, as for how she coughed up blood, it was spirit blood.
"I don't think you would be so shameless as to scare me senseless and not try and repay me for the heartache. Oh, my already dim future thanks to my lack of talent. Poor me, why is the world so cruel... at this rate, I might have to keep my mouth shut from saying anything someone might want." I said making Yun Che grit his teeth.
'how does he know I'm here to ask questions?' Yun Che thought, he gritted his teeth for a moment before speaking.
"Fine... but you must answer my question truthfully." Yun Che said to which I blinked slightly in confusion.
"I'm not so shameless to answer anything but with the truth... it's a bit embarrassing to think I would lower myself to your level. I have something called shame, you should read a book about it." I said with a shake of my head, causing Yun Che's face to turn dark. How could someone so shamelessly turn the tables to make him look like the shameless one?
Yun Che wondered if he should use a favor, but after some thought he realized he didn't need to. Sighing, he allowed me to study his palm. I was happy to study something Infinite, to say the least, this might take a few weeks.
"Ask away, this might take some time," I said while removing the blindfold. By the way, I now kept the first and second limiters off at all times. I mastered my full body and mind capability. As for the other limiters, they keep the body and mind from doing more than the body can do, but I was still getting the hang of them. But with those limiters gone, I could run forever even after my body hit its limits. I could lift past my limit, although my muscles would shatter, and so on.
the past limiters limited how much of my powers I could draw upon, these limitations were limits on my capability. They were there to ensure the body or mind doesn't overdo it.
"Okay. how does that strange defense skill of yours work?" Yun Che asked to which I thought for a moment... how did Infinite work? I know I have spoken a lot about how it works, but as you have noticed, I keep switching the way I look at it.
One moment, I divide things. At one moment, there was infinite all around us, I was just bringing it into reality. Not long ago, I was thinking about just creating it... but to make things simple, there were many ways to use Infinity, and I was still looking for the best path among them.
"I pretty much just divide things. As an object reaches me, I divide the distance between it and me. no matter how much I divide, I will never reach zero. so I will never be touched." I said calmly, this is the most common way I use Infinity.
"So, you use math." He said to which I nodded lightly while looking deeply at the palm... well, not the palm but the Sky Poison Pearl which had become one with Yun Che. I had never seen anything so large, yet compressed within such a small object. If I was within Yun Che, I would never be able to fully explore this space. but from looking from the outside, I could scan the whole place although I was missing a lot of details.
'Infinite does exist? This is truly humbling.' I thought, feeling humbled... I guess I wasn't the only infinite thing. Only Infinite was my rival. Sigh, this was the first time I was humbled like this.
'It's like i'm looking into a sandbox. I don't see every detail because I live on an infinite greater than the infinite within the box... thats right, 1D, and 2D. there are infinities below us.' I thought remembering those smaller dimensions. how could I skip these small infinities, I should try and understand them first.
1D had only one dimension and therefore showed only linear information such as length width or height... can I use this infinite to make the sharpest spear? God, I'm so creative. If I can bring this infinite into reality, can I not in theory do such a thing?
2D is a flat figure or a shape that has two dimensions length and width. Two-dimensional or 2D shapes do not have any thickness... so could I turn them into the sharpest sword?
We all know what 3D is, they are a solid figure or an object or shape that has three dimensions length, width, and height. Unlike two-dimensional shapes, three-dimensional shapes have height, which is the same as thickness or depth. We exist within the 3D world
Each Dimension should be infinite and greater than the last... so I should try and understand how these smaller Infinites work, instead of skipping steps. but that didn't mean I would not take the time to fully study this pearl.
"I will cut it short, but in the future, I will look at it again," I said calmly after 3 days. I wanted to cut it short for now because I wanted to look at the pearl after I get new insight into infinity, I also wanted to try and see if I could bring these infinities out into reality.
"Well, I got all I needed... you do understand I will give this to someone right?" Yun Che asked calmly. He didn't want to make me his enemy,
"If they need to make a plan, then why should I be worried? Tell the world, tell the universe... but I will remain number one." I said with a smirk, leaving Yun Che sighing while leaving. he couldn't say anything to that when a part of him believed my words...
'Now, should I start looking into dividing until I reach the first dimension, or should I start looking into bringing these dimensions into reality? or should I try and create my infinity?' I thought with a smile, I had a feeling I would find the answer to my questions soon with the upcoming battle... or should I say battles. My instincts were sharp, so I knew something huge was coming.
