Cross was walking with Yun Che in the Heaven Basin Secret Realm, kinda bored. He was invisible and instructed Ling Jie to go and face as many beasts as he could, he told him that if he died he shouldn't tell anyone in the underworld he was his disciple as he would be embarrassed when he died.
Ling Jie didn't know how to feel about that, but listened anyway and left by himself.
Cross left a string on him and watched what he went through, while he said he didn't care of Ling Jie died, he would look bad if his disciple died wouldn't he? He still hadn't taught him any moves yet, mainly because he was still working on them himself and if he couldn't do them then wouldn't he be embarrassed?
Currently, though, Cross was walked next to Yun Che, completely invisible and undetected. Yun Che wanted to take care of some people and Jasmine sealed her strength so that she wouldn't get any poison flares any time soon. She fully trusted Cross to keep Yun Che alive if something happened.
Cross silently let out a breath of relief. If she died, wouldn't he lose a sparring partner? He spread out his Mantra while had explosive growth merging with his Divine sense and spanning hundreds of miles, he could still slightly predict a second or two in the future.
He saw Qingyue following Yun Che secretly with a nervous expression and sighed. He might not like her because of the Laws but her true personality without the frozen heart art was truly just a gentle and shy girl. He didn't feel bad about his actions before because she was truly too arrogant.
Only after he wiped the Frozen Heart Art out of existence did she truly blossom, it was quite refreshing to see her flustered over a boy.
Cross watched as two boys appeared, Yun Che ridiculed them and they attacked. They were in a disadvantageous position and a spear flew through the air towards Yun Che, who lifted one of the boys.
The spear exploded his body and Yun Che laughed. A man appeared and was beyond angry, he attacked Yun Che, but Qingyue stopped him before running away with Yun Che.
Cross watched before waving his hand the man turned around and pierced the other boy before Cross walked away to Yun Che's position.
Cross appeared next to the running Yun Che and Qingyue and looked at Qingyue in thought. The man chased after them and Yun Che said "Qingyue my wife, run! You don't have to die with me!" Qingyue shouted with tears in her eyes "I'm not leaving you!" Yun Che was shocked by her emotional turn around and thanked Cross in his heart.
Cross appeared in the air and said "That's enough old man... Why do so far just to die? Isn't it nice to be alive?" Yun Che relaxed and Qingyue dragged him away. The man said "Who are you!?"
Cross scratched his stubble and said "I think they call me the Reaper outside?" the man started trembling and Cross waved as he said "Well anyway, you can ask the people in hell for more information." the snow around him transformed into a giant beast, Cross couldn't tell what the beast was but it gave him a warm and familiar feeling, which confused him.
The unknown beast devoured the man and crushed his entire being into nothingness, spitting out a storage ring before dissipating. Cross caught the ring and looked at the space where the beast disappeared. Why did that beast feel like kin?
He floated after Yun Che swaying slightly and dropping. Flying was tougher than he thought!
He continued to think about the beast as he dropped from the sky in front of Yun Che, he flipped and landed on one knee with his fist in the ground. Yun Che and Qingyue clapped, Cross stood up and said "Whoever that was is dead. I took his ring but..." his face was awkward as he threw it over.
Yun Che was excited and looked inside before spitting out blood and shouting "He liked to dress as a woman?!" Qingyue opened her mouth in shock and Yun Che threw all the woman clothes out of the storage ring before keeping the rest with a sour face.
Cross chuckled and looked through at the clothes before his eyes lit up and he laughed. Yun Che said "Cross... you're not going to wear those are you?" Cross choked and smacked him saying "Do I look like I wear woman clothes?!"
Yun Che looked him up and down, he was wearing a black hoodie, white shirt, black shorts, and his signature pink fluffy bunny slippers as usual. Yun Che shook his head and Cross took out a vial with a yellow liquid inside.
Yun Che asked "What's that?" Cross grinned and said 'This my little brother is Felix Felicis! Go on! Ask me what it does!" Qingyue asked meekly "W-What does it do?" Cross smirked and said "As my former professor has said 'One sip and you should find that all of your endeavors succeed.. Well at least until the effects wear off.' Another name for this particular potion is Liquid Luck!"
Yun Che and Qingyue's eyes widened and Yun Che shouted "WHAT?!" Cross smirked and drank the potion before crushing the vial. He felt energized and indescribable, like everything would go his way! He used a version of Felix Felicis he made himself, he still had a space bottle of it and the one Slughorn gave him was in a memories cabinet in the castle. Still unused.
Cross smiled goofily and said "What are you guys waiting for? We have treasures to find!" he walked forward and tripped over a root, falling face first into the woman's clothes.
Yun Che laughed and said "Looks like it doesn't work! Hhahaha" the root uprooted and revealed 10 seven colored flowers, Cross picked his head up and was biting on a storage ring. Yun Che was beyond stunned, Jasmine watched from the Pearl and shouted "10 SEVEN COLORED PURITY FLOWERS?!"
Yun Che said "What are 7 colored purity roses?" Jasmine gulped and said "Only the second most heaven-defying elixir in the entire world! The first being the 9 colo-" 5 of the 10 seven colored purity flowers glowed and became 9 colored purity flowers.
Jasmine fell to her knees and mumbled in disbelief "9 colored Purity flowers...." Cross sat up and a pie fell from the sky, landing in his lap. Yun Che slapped himself, a literal pie falling from the sky! Cross smiled and said "Oh! A pie! Cool!" as he split it in four and shared with the others and Jasmine.
Cross looked in the ring to see a jade slip and nothing else. He took out the Jade and read it as he ate the pie, it was a Divine Forging Method called 'Void Forge'. Cross smiled and learned it instantly, the Jade slip crumbled away and Cross felt enlightened as he finished the pie.
He crossed his legs and his conversion kicked into overdrive while he used this opportunity to modify his movement technique with Star God's Broken shadow and his Teleportation ability. He had been working on it already, he named it 'Void Step'.
Basically, he would move so fast he would shatter space and teleport while also leaving afterimages when he stepped. The first level had 1 step, the second had 3, the third had 9, the fourth had 27, and the fifth had 81.
The fifth step was extremely complicated but if does correctly, he could theoretically take one step and up a million miles away.
The 'Steps' were different movements that would need to be done. It was an extremely complicated process, even making it, let alone performing it. The movement technique was meant to be graceful and ethereal, while also tyrannical and arrogant. It gave a weird sense of being perfect, as the two appearances were the complete opposite.
During the little bout of enlightenment, Cross managed to complete the first two levels and made it possible to be used without his teleportation ability or an affinity to space. He stood up and stepped before being a few feet away instantly, while an afterimage was left behind.
Jasmine ate the pie and went into a daze as she mumbled "Enlightenment.. Pie?" before executing Star God's Broken shadow, 7 shadows appeared. Yun Che directly broke through to the 3rd stage of the 'Great Way of the Buddha' and Qingyue broke though to Earth Profound Realm 5th level.
Cross picked the 10 flowers and gave a 9 colored one to Yun Che, a 7 colored one to Qingyue, and ate a 9 colored one himself. Cross trembled and his body exploded with 9 colored light. Black goo gushed out of his body and his Realm sky rocketed into the Emperor Realm 5th level.
Yun Che and Qingyue ate the flowers and their impurities gushed out before their cultivation took a massive leap. Yun Che went from Spirit 1st level to Spirit Peak, while Qingyue went to Earth Peak.
Cross smiled and waved, a bubble of water fell on top of them all and washed away all the black impurities before it became a hot wind bubble and dried them off.
Cross whistled happily as he continued walking, flickering with each step. The 7 other flowers were stored in his medicinal garden and told to be taken good care of. Cross found out that the garden had a time warp inside and any plant could grow inside, no matter what. He harvested the flower pods and planted them into the dirt while planting the root back in the dirt and leaving the other flowers inside to grow.
Cross felt amazing as they continued their adventure, Yun Che held Qingyue's hand and followed along, she blushed and smiled a bit as they continued.
After a bit of walking
Cross tripped again, Yun Che got excited and said "Maybe he'll trip right into a supreme god's inheritance!" Cross got up and smiled goofily "Nah, just a lotus." Qingyue looked over and gasped "That's.. an Emperor's Heart Lotus!" Yun Che said "Emperor's Heart lotus?" Qingyue explained how heaven defying it was and Yun Che was shocked before saying "Qingyue my wife. You must take this. You are at Earth Peak, if you eat this you might jump a whole realm!"
Qingyue looked at Yun Che with watery eyes and said "You... You want to give this priceless treasure to me? But.. You-" Yun Che said seriously "I am your husband! Obediently take it!" Qingyue's heart warmed and she blushed heavily as she slowly nodded, taking the lotus and storing it in her storage ring.
She looked at Yun Che and she lightly kissed his cheek before stepping away with a bashful expression. Yun Che froze in shock before rubbing his cheek with a small smile, looking at Qingyue, who smiled shyly and looked away.
Cross was lifted into the ground by a huge beast. Cross said "Woah! A Tyrant beast.." his eyes widened "A TYRANT BEAST! AHAHAHA I FOUND ONE!" the tyrant beast suddenly trembled and felt fear.
Well that was the last thing it would ever feel because Cross killed it with a single slap and dug out the core with a happy expression before cutting up the beast and taking the meat. Yun Che and Qingyue were startled, scared, and then stunned. Yun Che laughed to himself and said "I almost forgot about that..."
Qingyue gulped and said "He's pretty strong eh?" Yun Che nodded and Cross picked up a blue ball type thing, Yun Che eyes popped out of their sockets and fell to the ground in shock as he stared at the blue orb. It was an Evil God seed! How fucking good was this luck potion!?
Cross threw the orb into Yun Che's mouth and started roasting the Tyrant beast's meat while whistling. Qingyue looked at Cross and said "Was that a treasure?" Cross replied "Just a seed really. Want some meat?" Qingyue walked over and said "I thought you didn't like me?"
Cross said "I don't... Well I didn't. I erased your memories of the 'Frozen Heart Art', now you're a normal person with emotions and feelings. You won't try and become a robot anymore and your original temperament is gentle and shy not arrogant and cold. I don't understand the appeal, why seal away your emotions?"
Qingyue said "For power." Cross looked at her and sneered "Yeah and then what? When you're the most powerful person in the entire universe what will you do?" Qingyue shrugged cutely, Cross patted her head and said "Nothing. Because you have no desires. What's the point of being powerful at the cost of your humanity? You are basically a beast in human skin..."
Cross looked at her in a rare moment of gentleness as he said "Why do you cultivate, Qingyue?" Qingyue was a bit startled by the change in tone but still replied "To find my mother." Cross smiled softly and said "And when you found her but all your emotion and desires were gone, what was the point in finding her in the first place? You don't care about her anymore as you cut off everyone important to you, and you wouldn't care about her in the future because you have no desire to do so."
Qingyue stood frozen and Cross shook his head and put in the final nail in her coffin as he said "Wouldn't all your work be useless in the end? You would simply be a being striving for power without a goal, nothing matters, nobody to care for, going on until you die and are forgotten about by everyone."
Every word rang in Qingyue's mind like a gong and she was speechless. The way Cross put it really made her feel like an idiot. It also made her feel like everyone at Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace was an idiot too.
Cross ruffled her hair and sighed "Emotions are what make us human, sacrificing your emotions for power should be taboo. Without Emotions how are we different from mindless monsters?" He paused and added "Without a goal, we walk aimlessly. Without desires, we are lost along the way."
Qingyue's eyes brightened and she entered a dazed state, Yun Che walked over and whispered "Did you come up with that yourself?" Cross scratched his stubble and replied "I actually did. Even I'm surprised to be honest."
Yun Che chuckled silently, trying to not ruin Qingyue's enlightenment. As Cross continued to cook the Tyrant beast's meat with a smile on his face, happy he came up with something so profound.
I would like to trademark that saying! I came up with it on my own! If it exists already then I guess you can take my words as fart... ALSO give me your power stones we're almost to top 5! You dont want to give your stones to Endless Path do you? He’s got enough give em to me instead ;) it makes your pp grow.
Qingyue came out of her trance and smiled brightly, she bowed to Cross and said "Thank you... Teacher." Cross shook his head with a smile as he said "I'm not a teacher... not anymore anyways. Go on, eat." before taking out two steaks and disappearing, leaving Yun Che and Qingyue alone.
Cross appeared in the Sky Poison Pearl, he threw a steak at Jasmine and bet on his own. Jasmine started nibbling on the steak silently, he walked over and handed her the Beast core as he smiled and said "2 to go." Jasmine looked at the core and trembled as she took it from his hands.
Her eyes watered and Cross frowned as he said "Are you feeling alright? Why are you crying?" Jasmine's face heated up and she slapped him flying shouting "IDIOT!" Cross landed on his face and slid a good few feet, unable to comprehend why he was slapped.
He jumped up and cursed "Fucking lolis..." Jasmine flashed over and started beating him up with red eyes as she shouted "I'M NOT A LOLI!" Cross said "Ah! Not my face, you fucking loli! Come here!" he flashed behind her and spanked her bottom.
Jasmine froze and her face, neck, and ears turned red before she started trembling. Cross smirked and said "I still got it!" Jasmine turned around and glared at him with a terrifying expression, Cross gulped and backed away slowly before using 'Void Step' and disappearing in the distance, running as fast as he could.
Jasmine roared and left behind 7 afterimages as he chased him.
A while later
Jasmine and Cross stopped and looked outside to see everything had changed, Cross had a serious expression on his face and he came to Jasmine's side as he said "Did you feel that?" Jasmine nodded and said seriously "That's completely beyond my strength." Cross frowned and said "The last thing that happened was Yun Che eating the seed..."
Cross and Jasmine looked at each other and said in shock "Soul fragment!?" Cross recovered and said "I wonder if he's still there..." Jasmine just asked "Yun Che, did you just meet the soul fragment of the Evil God?" Yun Che said "Yeah, he took me he-" he voice cut off and he was in shock as he just heard a name he never thought he'd hear again in his life.
Cross frowned and said "If he used his powers I think that was the last thing he could've done before dissipating..." he looked at Jasmine and said "You sealed your strength completely?" Jasmine nodded and Cross nodded as he said "Then leave it to me."
Jasmine looked at him, a bit startled, so much confidence... Her cheeks turned pink and she just looked at him in a daze until he left. She clapped her cheeks and went to her bed with blushing cheeks.
Cross appeared outside, he saw Yun Che threatening people. Cross walked over and said "What happened?" Yun Che explained that these three were from some Blockhead Stronghold, the men shouted "Blackwood Stronghold!"
Cross said "Yes... And you were trying to capture this little girl?" The men sneered and said "What can you do about i-" Cross grabbed his neck and said "You know, children truly are my weak spot..." He whistled and a skeleton flew out of the crack.
The skeleton grew into a terrifying skeleton dragon, White nuzzled against Cross, who smiled and said "White can you find where these guys are from?" White turned to the three guys and put his head near them, before nodding.
Cross smiled and said "Go find their hideout and kill them all, as painfully as possible." White made a bone rattling sound and flew off, the three men were as pale as can be. Cross looked at them and said "How does it feel knowing that everyone will die because of you? Does it hurt? Are you in pain? Do you feel regret?"
Cross tilted his head and said "Why aren't you begging for mercy yet?" one of the three knelt and said "Pl-" Cross kicked him and the man exploded as Cross said "Come on, beg for mercy. Weren't you trying to capture the kid before? I. SAID. BEG."
The other two men were forced to their knees forcefully and bone crunching sounds erupted from their legs, Yun Che took the little girl away and was playing with her but he had a conflicted look on his face, Qingyue was with him and smiled at the girl.
Cross crouched down and whispered "Why can't I hear your begging?" another men cried as he said "Pleas-" Cross blew on the man and his froze into ice before shattering into pieces.
The last man trembled, this wasn't a human! He was a devil! A demon! Cross smiled and said "Imperio." the man stopped trembling and Cross said "Go jump off the cliff." The man stood up and walked to the cliff before jumping right off.
Cross dusted his hands and saw Yun Che hugging the little girl and crying, he had a sneaking suspicion but didn't voice it out, he only said "En. She's only 10 years old right now." Yun Che froze and let go, the little girl popped out of Yun Che's embrace and said "Why is Big Brother Yun Che crying? Ling'er will blow on it!" as she blew on his eye.
Cross clapped and said "What a precious little girl! Fuck! I miss my own." he sighed and walked to the cliff, looking into the abyss in grief. Yun Che chuckled and said "Why don't you jump off. Bastard!" Cross smirked and said "I just might~"
As he jumped right off, Yun Che shouted "BIG BRO!" Cross floated back up and chuckled "Gotcha!" Yun Che was enraged and grabbed him saying "You trying to scare me to death!?"
Cross smiled and patted his head saying "So emotional.. You're getting soft on me aren't you?" Yun Che clicked his tongue and let him go with a small smile as he said "You're the soft one... Damn bastard.." Cross rubbed his nose and chuckled.
A voice was heard "Ling'er? Where are you, Ling'er!"
A man appeared and Ling'er shouted "Papa!" as she ran over. Yun Che watched her go and smiled slightly as he walked over, Qingyue followed him but Cross stayed at the edge of the cliff as they talked with the man, who was named Su Hengshan.
Cross looked down into the Abyss and felt something look back at him. He squinted and could only make out two eyes with two different colors in each of them. He felt a pulling feeling as if the eyes were calling him to them.
Yun Che looked over and said "Cross. We're going to Grandwake Clan." Cross waved and said "Have fun. I'm not coming. When White comes back just tell him to shrink and stay near you." Yun Che nodded and paused for a few seconds before saying "Don't do anything stupid."
Cross waved, naturally he understood. Yun Che nodded and left with Qingyue and Su Hengshan.
Cross looked into the void and maybe a space mark on the edge of the cliff before jumping down. He teleported back to the top and jumped off frequently, seeing if he could teleport back to his anchor from anywhere. He kept going until he reached the bottom, he teleported back to the top and let out a breath of relief before teleporting back down.
He touched the ground with his slippers and looked around, he saw a cave with little tiger statues, a forest, and a sea of flowers. The flowers tried to suck in his soul, but who was Cross? The Main Character that's who!
Cross walked through the flowers, touching the petals softly, they brushed against him softly as if to say 'Hello' Cross smiled and sniffled the flowers, inhaling an amazing scent. These flowers smelled terrific!
He was greeted by a little girl, he looked at her and tilted his head, she had the same eyes that he saw in the abyss before. Cross walked forward and crouched in front of her, patting her head with a smile. The girl blinked and nodded slightly, Cross smiled softly and didn't speak.
They stayed like that for a few minutes before the girl presented him with a flower. Cross smiled and took it before rummaging through his bag and retrieving the slave bell. His hand glowed green and he said softly in Elven "Bless this Item with soul nourishment, O great Divine Tree!" a pillar of golden white light fell from the sky onto the bell.
The pillar disappeared and Cross held out the bell on a rainbow ribbon towards the girl. The girl took it and held it close to her heart with a small smile. Cross tapped her hand and opened his, the girl put the bell in his hand and he held her little hand before tying the bell ribbing around her wrist.
Cross smiled and shook her hand, the girl smiled at the crisp ringing of the bell and hugged Cross wordlessly. Cross patted her back and rubbed softly, the girl let go and her eyes arced like little crescents as she shook her hand listening to the bell's chimes.
Cross patted her head and rubbed gently, messing up her hair. The girl pouted and touched her hair, Cross smiled and pointed at his own hair, then her eyes before his hair color started changing to yellow, red, white, and black.
The girl opened her mouth in shock and pointed at Cross before pointing at her eyes, which were Yellow and Green in her right eye and Blue and Purple in her left eye. Cross pursed his lips and closed his eyes, his hair turned Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple, before going to white like the girl's.
The little girl clapped happily, the bell chiming as she did so. She was happy. Cross lifted her up and placed her on his shoulders, holding her feet as he walked around the bottom of the cliff. He pointed at the cave and the girl shook her head.
Cross thought for a moment before reaching into his inner world and pulling out a book. He handed it to the girl, who looked at it in confusion. Cross opened the book and showed her the pictures, the girl read the entire book in 5 minutes before making hand movements.
The book was Sign Language. Cross translated the text into common language of this world.
The girl said "Thank you." Cross smiled and moved his hands to say "You're welcome. What's your name? My name is Cross." the girl said "I don't have a name." Cross signed "Do you want me to give you one?" the girl nodded and Cross said "What about Artemis?"
The girl said "Artemis? What is that?" Cross smiled and said "Goddess of the Moon? You have white hair and you're as cute as a button." the girl.. no Artemis smiled and nodded while clapping. Cross smiled and signed "Why are you down here alone?"
Artemis said "I can't remember. But I feel lonely down here." Cross frowned and said "You can come with me if you like." Artemis struggled before shaking her head and replying "I have to stay here to protect something?"
Cross asked "Protect what?" Artemis took out a seed, Cross made a funny face and said "You have to protect that? Are you waiting for someone to show up?" Artemis nodded and Cross smiled as he said "I know who uses those. You can give it to him if you come with me."
Artemis shook her head and said "I can't leave anyway. My soul will collapse if I leave the Netherworld Udumbara Flowers." Cross nodded but froze as he asked "Those are all Netherworld Udumbara Flowers?!" Artemis nodded and Cross slapped his forehead before saying "I need one for somebody else. I want to keep the one you gave me safe. Can I have another one?"
Artemis gave him another flower with a smile. Cross smiled softly and signed "Thank you." Artemis signed "Thank you for the bell. I really like it." Cross signed back "Keep it on you at all times, it will nourish your soul."
Artemis nodded and rubbed the ribbon with a smile. Cross asked "What is that cave and that forest?" Artemis said "The cave had a big tiger inside and I don't know about the forest."
Cross smiled and nodded as he walked back to the flowers and signed "I'll come back soon. Then I will take you with me, okay?" Artemis signed "Come back soon Big Brother." Cross put her down and signed "I will." Artemis waved good bye and the bell chimed again, making her smile.
Cross waved and teleported back to the top. Artemis sat down in the flowers with a smile as she played with the bell, listening to it's chiming sound.
To the 5th rank or bust! Also I added the Tiger cave if you haven't noticed~
