《Above the Heavens》 Book 1 Chapter 1: Zhu Tians Tenth Heaven The sun light was strong enough to crack Heavenly Materials and wither the most tenacious Earthly Treasured Plant. "Hahaha, I, Zhu Tian managed to ascend where no one else is going to ascend! Men and Gods can''t even dream to be here where I am! I stepped on illustrious clans and heaven sent geniuses that appear a time every million years! Those that died by my hand must be violet with envy right now! Hahaha I, Zhu Tian, like my name says, stepped even on the heavens!" (AN Zhu Tian means above the heavens) Mad laughter filled the sky and the earth shocking the core of all the creation. A figure looked to the blue sky and laughed, his eyes filled with arrogance and haughtiness. "If I walk on the Heavens, they can only praise the soles of my shoes!" His black hair swayed with wind and his savage handsomeness defied the Heavens and the creation. "If the Han Dinasty obscures the Heaven with a hand, then the lowest sweeper of my, Zhu Tian''s household only has to ask and the Heaven will obscure itself!" His black eyes looked down on everything and everyone! "All the creatures yeld to the Dao but the Dao yelds to my will!" If someone heard the blasphemy uttered by this man they would cough blood, who would ever mistreat the Heavens? Heavens Retribution await those who don''t know their place! But strangely the Heavens didn''t do nothing to this man, even the sky cleared and the clouds dispersed when he laughed. It was as if the Heavens feared and revered this man almost like how men revere the Gods and how the secular world revere the Immortals. "I cultivated the body and perfected the Body Strengthening Stage! " "I conquered Xuan Qi and grasped the Qi Gathering Stage!" "I stole the essence between Heaven and Earth and compressed it forming a golden Yuan Dan thus achieving the Small Circle of Immortality! " "I bathed in Tribulation Lighting and overcome the Great Retribution!" "I transformed my soul in an Immortal Soul!" "They praised me as the strongest of the Third Heaven!" "But that just boosted my ambition and in only two hundred years I grasped the meaning of life and death, my Dao! Thus achieving the Dao Searching Stage! " "I fused soul, spirit and body to create my immortal body!" "I shed my mortality from my body achieving the limit of cultivators! The Great Circle of Immortality!" "I stepped on the boundaries where no man ever stepped, I went over the Great Circle Of Immortality creating my own Heaven!" Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation. "I fused my Heaven with my Dao! I became the God of my Heaven! " " I battled the Dao of their Heavens and won!" " I stepped over their Heavens in my, Zhu Tian''s Heaven! " "Their Nine Heavens are bellow my Tenth Heaven!" "Hahaha, to think it all started with a puny Golden Immortal Artifact! Hahaha, follow my legacy and step over the Great Circle of Immortality! Dear grandfather Golden Immortal when I was a little brat I was amazed by the figure that reached the Great Circle of Immortality but look at me now, if I want night then the Heavens shall obscure itself otherwise I will destroy it! What Great Circle of Immortality! Ha, I, Zhu Tian stepped over your Great Circle of Immortality and stepped over even your so called Omnipotent Heavens! " "Hahaha... But there is no limit to Zhu Tian''s achievements! I will step over the boundaries of the Heavens and see if there is a bastard higher than me!" His look was that of a savage and unruly man probably twenty years old, his face filled with manliness and youth, but that was just the outside. After achieving the Small Circle of Immortality one doesn''t age anymore, although they don''t age but in most of the case the cultivators are at least in their fifties, it takes a genius, luck and hardwork to step in the Small Circle of Immortality before their forties. If one completed the Small Circle of Immortality before their thirties they would be heaven sent geniuses. The man sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes, in a moment the already silent world stopped moving. The winds quieted down the sun retrieved its light and the clouds dissipated. A golden aura emanated from the man''s body then it circulated around him retracting and pulsating like a golden heart. SWOOSH The man suddenly opened his eyes retrieving the Holy aura, they shone with a strange light. In them were anticipation, joy and a little of disappointment. "The assimilation of the Nine Heavens Dao will take some more years. " "For now I will return to the Third Heaven to see what happened to my Savage Sword Sect! Hahaha, that year I left that kid Ji Hao to manage it, with his capacity the Sect must have flourished! " =_--_=_--_=_--_=_--_=_--_= HI there! I read a lot of xianxia and still didn''t see a really OP character so I said to myself, Let''s create it! I know I make a lot of grammar errors so be good with moi! Book 1 Chapter 2: Xiao Lang The Huang Lang continent is situated in the Third Heaven, also known as The Heaven of Han. In the Huang Lang continent the orders of the Emperor are absolute and the prestige of the Four Clans and Five Families soar to the skies. In a corner of the Meng Empire situated in the middle of the mountains far away from the Cultivation World of the Nine Powers and the eye of the Emperor was a second rate Sect formerly known as the Strongest under the heaven. The Savage Sword Sect. After the death of the first patriarch they indulged themselves in the sweetness of power and neglected everything else, after five hundred years they started falling in a deep chain of destruction and construction losing strength over the years. And now they are like a thief who steals from the tombs. They live from the past. The Sect recently stabilized with the ascension of the new patriarch but bloodstained winds rushed toward the Sect from the East. The Bloody Sabre Den cultivators were coming accompanied by the stench of death and blood. Every Sect, Group and Family within the range of four hundred li was getting subdued or annihilated, mountains of corpses and rivers of blood were created. They made a coalition of death and destruction. They called it Xue Jiang Hu! (A/N Xue means Blood Jiang Hu means rivers and lakes, all together means Rivers and lakes of blood. The Cultivation World is also known as Jiang Hu so you get the pun.) Their next target was the formerly Strongest Under The Heaven, Savage Sword Sect! If they manage to include the Savage Sword Sect in the Xue Jiang Hu coalition their reputation will soar, if you eat dragon''s meat, even if it''s a ten thousand year old carcass you will still reap benefit! The dragon''s meat was the Savage Sword Sect! ___ In front of the gate to the Savage Sword Sect outer disciples patrolled the massive gate that stood in the entrance to the Savage Valley. The disciples were nervous and vigilant as if their lives were on the line. "Look there is someone approaching! " A thin youth shouted to pick the attention of the others but noticed that the others were already looking at the figure that was approaching. The others were looking at the figure with seriousness and vigilance. But as the figure became more visible their nervous faces grinned maliciously. The more the figure approached the more their grin became even wider and their faces were almost split in two parts. "Elder martial brother Fei Mu are you going to do it again? " A young man asked with a feverish look in his eyes to a middle aged man that stood there dignified as if asking for a praise. A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. Fei Mu smiled faintly and nodded his head slowly. If he wasn''t that ugly and his cultivation base was only at the fifth layer of the Body Strengthening Stage someone may think of him as the patriarch of some great Sect or a great noble from a faraway Empire. On the road walked a young man with long hairs, Sword like brows and a savage smile on his face that gave him a bloodthirsty handsomeness that the girls like. "Kids pranks... " Muttered the young man under his breath, if one heard him he would think that this youth is someone who likes to play at being the Big Brother with someone bigger than him. But if someone knew him they would bow their heads and praise how wise he is! This was obviously the self-proclaimed Sovereign and God of all the Ten Heavens, Zhu Tian. He came here with the intention of visiting an old friend but found that so much changed so he chose a more normal approach instead of flying or teleporting directly in the major plaza, but who would have thought that the Sovereign of all would have a prank played at him. When the Savage Sword Sect disciples saw him they initially panicked because of his appearance but then they noticed that no Qi fluctuations came from him they sighed a sigh of relief and smiled savagely with anticipation. "Hello little brother, it seems that you came from faraway to enter our mighty Savage Sword Sect but I fear that you first have to pass a test! " The middle aged man smiled gently at Zhu Tian but to Zhu Tian this smile was like a butcher who smiles gently at the pigs in the slaughterhouse! Zhu Tian laughed in his heart and in a moment his eyes flashed with a strange light in it was amusement and interest. ''Initially I wanted to visit Ji Hao but this is more fun'' ''Let''s cultivate this mortal body from scrap again with the identity of a disciple of the Savage Sword Sect, my meeting with old Ji Hao will wait'' Zhu Tian looked at the middle aged man with gratitude and reverence, his attitude changed in a moment and said. "Aye! This one name is Xiao Lang, this one is a little dumb for my father''s shop so he sent me here! Although I''m less intelligent than others, my strength compensate for it! I ask honored elder brothers for guidance! " The other disciples sneered with ridicule and the middle aged man laughed coldly in his heart. It was time to relieve some stress. _____ Aye author here! Never thought about what comes after a xianxia hero finishes his story? Here it is! If there is any error tell moi! Please! Book 1 Chapter 3: The First Test Although the talent demonstrated by Fei Mu is way bellow the average but in this tiny Sect his position was akin to that of an inner disciple thanks to his uncle. Fei Mu uncle was the outer Sect elder that manages the Pills Distribution and his cousin was the top disciple of the outer Sect! In the outer Sect no one could even look at him in the eyes for fear to disrespect him! If they disrespected him they probably won''t get beaten but they will magically have the distribution of pills cut. That is a cruel method because without those pills if you aren''t a Heaven sent genius then you would remain stagnant forever in your current layer of cultivation! His time would was passing between teasing junior martial sisters and relieving his stress on weaker martial brothers or outsiders. But in those days the tension in the air was almost palpable so his mental fatigue and stress skyrocketed, he was fearful that his paradise would crumble! But now in front of him was a method to relieve his stress, this method was also known as Xiao Lang the pig! Fei Mu felt that the young man in front of him was more akin to a pig than a man. This savage looking man had a sincere smile on his face even in front of the door of the death! It was like an elderly who praised the thief, laughable! "Hahaha, junior brother Xiao Lang there is no need to be fearful, this is a test that our ancestors made to test if someone is worthy of our Savage Sword Sect. You only need to pass three stages and you will be called our junior martial brother, then no one will ever date to bully you!" Fei Mu''s smile was even gentler akin to the smile of an elder brother toward his little brother. Zhu Tian looked at him and his eyes showed even more reverence and praise making Fei Mu and the other disciples laugh even more. ''This kid is funny, he wants to teach Zhu Tian how to act! Ha, before I was born there weren''t actors there were only half backed liars! I am the one that invented the subterfuge and the fabrication! You have to thank this mighty one for your act today! '' Zhu Tian laughed coldly in his heart but outside continued his act without interference as if he was really the second son of a merchant! "Esteemed Elder Brother, could you make the tests known to this one? This one''s dream is to become an unparalleled and peerless Immortal like you! Please help me with your guidance! " The reverence in his voice was real and indisputable! "Junior brother for the first test only needs to resist ten attacks from my junior brother Wu Kuang. Kuang junior martial brother show benevolence and don''t forget to stop if junior brother Lang can''t continue." Fei Mu laughed softly and spoke benevolently to Zhu Tian. A man in his twenties advanced sneering, his appearance screamed "Normal, plain and untalented!" his short hair covered the malicious look in his eyes and because his head was slightly bowed no one could see the hideous grin on his face. Wu Kiang had this chance to please elder martial brother Fei Mu so he will cripple this insolent! If he manages to please Fei Mu he will probably have access to extra Blue Cross Pills! Although the Blue Cross Pills weren''t anything special but to those outer Sect disciples they were a treasure! The outer Sect disciples only got a Blue Cross Pill every month so if he manages to get another one that would benefit him a lot! The other disciples watched the man advance with envy in their eyes. They didn''t follow Fei Mu for his mediocre strength, although he wasn''t weak he wasn''t either strong. They followed him for his status! "E-elder brother isn''t this a little difficult for this one?!" If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement. Zhu Tian was all alarmed as he shouted at Fei Mu and Wu Kuang with a little of fear in his voice. "No need to fear brother Kuang, he is only at the first layer of the Body Strengthening stage... The first stage of immortality. And if something was to happen fear not because I, Fei Mu, shall stop any harm! " The look of Fei Mu was righteousness and knightly but when Zhu Tian saw he laughed with amusement in his heart. Who would have thought that this elder brother Fei Mu was so devious? It was clear as the stars in the night that this Wu Kiang was in the Third Layer of the Body Strengthening Stage! " I will trust elder brother Fei Mu! Please Elder brother Wu Kuang give this one pointers! " Determined to resist Zhu Tian screamed. " The first attack! " Wu Kiang shouted and in a moment bounced toward Zhu Tian and his hand formed a punch savagely aiming for Zhu Tian''s chest. Zhu Tian panicked and retreated slowly backwards. But without anyone notice, without any utilize of Qi his feet advanced slowly in harmony with the winds and the fluctuations of the earth, in a moment it was in front of Wu Kiang''s feet. CRACK "Ahhhhhhh! " A death scream that could scare gods and men echoed in the Savage Valley. The hearts of the cultivators in the valley became cold and gulped their own saliva. The previous nonchalant attitude of Wu Kiang became twisted by the pain, his feet was twisted in a weird angle and his hand was broken. "Hahaha it seems that this one is lucky today! Sorry elder brother Wu Kiang, it seems that this one created problems, I will help! " Zhu Tian advanced toward the injured man with an apologetic smile on his face. " Wahhh" Suddenly Zhu Tian''s foot tripped over a tiny rock and he made a fly directly toward the pained Wu Kiang. Strangely his elbow bended like a spear. CRACK "Ahhh...hhh... " Zhu Tian''s elbow fell directly on the chest of the poor man cracking three of his ribs. The man didn''t even have the strength to roar in pain. Cold sweat dripped from the front of the other disciples. Fei Mu''s smile cramped hardly and twisted. "Sorry sorry! I will help! " Zhu Tian''s face was almost crying as he got up and looked at Wu Kiang. " Pl...ease st...op " Wu Kiang pleaded between the mouthful of blood that sprouted from his mouth. "What did elder brother Wu Kiang say?" Zhu Tian approached the poor man with an earnest face. "Wahhh! " CRACK As Zhu Tian approached he slipped his feet and his right knee bended falling directly on Wu Kiang face broking his teeth and cracking his jaw. Wu Kiang mind was filled with pain and fear. He didn''t even have the strength to scream or plead he was continuously thinking ''Please just kill me already!'' "Please stop! You passed! You passed the first test!" Fei Mu couldn''t take it anymore and screamed him to stop. ''If your luck is like this in cultivation then you can already be called the next patriarch!'' Even while trembling Fei Mu tried hardly to maintain his smile although it slowly crumbled. "Huh? Then this one can become a mighty disciple of the Savage Sword Sect? " Zhu Tian''s smile beamed like a happy child who got a present. ''Let''s see if your luck can endure'' "No need to be fast, we still have another two tests!" ======== If there is any error tell me! Thanks for reading! Book 1 Chapter 4: Pipe Down, Will You? "Wha-what does this one have to do? Please be good with this one!" Zhu Tian stuttered from the fear while speaking, it was clear that he was scared. This made the other disciples sneer at him. "The second test consist of resisting the pressure of little brother Jiang Wu''s cultivation for ten seconds. Fear not, little brother Jiang Wu is only at the second layer of the Body Strengthening Stage. I will come to your aid if something was to happen! " "Little brother Jiang Wu give your guidance to little brother Xiao Lang!" A slightly fat man advanced, his face reminded that of a crow. His nose could Pierce the Heavens and split the earth! An arrogant and haughty look on his face as he looked at the laying Wu Kiang. How could this cultivator who was at his level of cultivation lose to a mere outsider? "Esteemed elder brother Jiang Wu please give this one pointers! " Zhu Tian clasped his hands but didn''t bow, even if he was acting he won''t bow to anyone! He didn''t bow to the Heavens why would he bow to a kid who could be his fortieth generation grandson? "Heh, you sure known how to praise." Jiang Wu stopped thirty five feet from Zhu Tian and sneered as he looked at the pig named Xiao Lang. "Here I come!" He shouted as an orange gas spread in the surrounding covering the sky and obscuring the earth. In an instant the gas descended on Zhu Tian, looks of anticipation were on the disciples faces. They wanted to see how Zhu Tian''s face would pale and how his bones would Crack. 3 seconds passed. But strangely the complexion of Zhu Tian''s face didn''t change, instead he looked at the surrounding gas with a little of fear. 7 seconds passed. "What is happening? " Zhu Tian quizzically asked Jiang Wu. Jiang Wu stared at him with hate as he exerted even more pressure. He didn''t want to lose face today in front of elders brother Fei Mu. 10 seconds passed. "Huh?!" The disciples looked dumbly at Zhu Tian, what is happening? "Eh... umh... Did I pass?" Fei Mu forced his mind to attribute this to Zhu Tian''s luck and quickly regained his calmness. "You have first to pass the last test! " He said with hurry, if word got out that he didn''t manage to take care of someone from the secular world his entire clan would lose face. "What is it the third test?" Zhu Tian asked a little fearfully, some beads of sweat covered his front. This level of acting was truly godlike. "Fear not, fear not. You only have to receive one attack of me, Fei Mu! I won''t make it difficult for little brother Lang." The smile on Fei Mu face returned amiable and brotherly like before as he gave a death sentence to Zhu Tian! Zhu Tian laughed cold in his heart, how devious was this Elder Martial Brother Fei Mu! "T-then I this one will be in elder brother Fei Mu''s care, please give this one pointers! " The trust in Zhu Tian''s eyes was real! If someone saw them they would think that they knew each other for the past thirteen years, one was a kind elder brother and the other was a loyal and trustful little brother! "Here I come!" Fei Mu leaped toward Zhu Tian meanwhile he formed a punch that he maliciously aimed toward Zhu Tian''s lower dantian. His intention was to cripple! Fei Mu''s objective was always to cripple him, he liked to crush the dreams of others and seeing their despair when they were betrayed, he couldn''t cripple too much people in the Sect but if it was an outsider then he won''t have any problem. Normally his henchmen would do the dirty job while he looks and enjoy from up, but today this outsider was really lucky and managed to escape death twice! "Hahaha sorry to crush your dreams kid! Learn to never trust strangers!" Fei Mu sneered and licked his lips while they formed a rotten smile, his ugly face became even more perverted and hideous. No wonder his little martial sisters didn''t like him. Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform. Support original creators! "Ahh I expected more from the Savage Sword Sect, what did happen to your dream, old Ji Hao? Well let''s stop this game, it''s getting boring. " Zhu Tian muttered under his breath and his lips formed his usual savage and unruly smile, his eyes flashed with coldness when Fei Mu almost reached him. " Hahaha, yes Despair! I like that look! The more you are despairing the more I like it! Don''t blame me for being ruth... Huh?! " Fei Mu was grinning maliciously but when he got three feet from Zhu Tian his expression changed as he looked at Zhu Tian''s face. Strange why was this kid smiling? A cold feeling filled Fei Mu''s heart. THUD Suddenly Fei Mu''s vision became black, not because he blanked out but because something covered his eyes! He felt pain on his face. The smiles of the disciples freezed as they looked blankly at what was happening. It all happened in an instant, in a moment Zhu Tian''s feet flashed up and was instantly on front of Fei Mu''s face. He didn''t even have the time to react before his face was covered by Zhu Tian''s shoe! "Pipe down, will you?" Zhu Tian exerted force on his foot smashing Fei Mu''s head on the ground. Now Fei Mu''s head was between the ground and the shoe. "You continue speaking gently and kindly, if I was a little dumber I would have thought you were the reincarnation of my dead father! Heck, it''s disgusting!" Zhu Tian started speaking to Fei Mu with a slightly disgusted tone. "You continue to give orders here and there like you are the patriarch but I personally don''t want a patriarch that is ugly and weak like you! You like seeing the despair in the men''s face, I know it''s not healthy but at least try going for women! " Zhu Tian''s words stabbed deeply in Fei Mu''s pride like swords. " Hahaha, but it''s all good I know "Elder brother Fei Mu" will become a good man in the future. But didn''t "Elder brother Fei Mu" know that the son of a merchant is more devious than the strategist of Han''s Dinasty? Hahaha, I think that I managed to pass the test, from today we are brothers so be happy strategist of the Han your little martial brother is the son of a merchant!" The meaning in Zhu Tian''s words was clear, you have been cheated! "You!" Fei Mu was angered to the point where he spat a mouthful of blood, today his pride was utterly destroyed, he has been virtually slapped on the face and stepped on by a man who is not even a cultivator, if word got out then he would have to kill himself! Zhu Tian started walking away from the laying Fei Mu as if nothing happened, unlike before now his head was high toward the Heavens and his face showed an arrogant attitude. Fei Mu looked at him but didn''t take any action instead he swore in his heart to kill this pig with ten thousand cuts! The disciples woke up from their daze and went to help Fei Mu, fear and derision were in their eyes as they looked at Zhu Tian. "That guy is dead, elder brother Fei Mu will certainly ask his cousin, Eldest Outer Martial Brother Fei Wuqing! " "Not only that, Elder Fei won''t give him Blue Cross Pills certainly his cultivation won''t ever advance more than the first layer of the Body Strengthening Stage. Elder Fei loves Elder brother Fei Mu at the same level of Eldest Outer Brother Fei Wuqing!" Zhu Tian stopped and turned to look fearlessly at the now sitting croslegged Fei Mu. "Also my name isn''t Xiao Lang, my name is Zhu Tian! You have been cheated twice! Hahaha" Fei Mu spat out another mouthful of blood and immediately fainted. ''Hahaha, this may be fun! '' ------ Aye, boss author here! Thanks for ya read! Tell me if there are errors lad! Book 1 Chapter 5: The Tenth Talent Zhu Tian initially wanted to go looking for Ji Hao and control the condition of the Savage Sword Sect, after confirming that all was alright he had the intention to confine himself in the Tenth Heaven and cultivate the Third Spirit in this new body, but after coming here he found that the Savage Sword Sect was threatened by an external force. So he changed his plans, now he would confine his First Body and Second Soul in the Tenth Heaven to help the assimilation of the Nine Heavens Dao meanwhile he will remain here in the Savage Sword Sect and cultivate the Third Spirit meanwhile protecting the sect. This would speed up the velocity of the assimilation of the Nine Heavens Dao and he would reap the double of the benefits spending half the effort. The motif as to why he would spend his time in the Savage Sword Sect was simply because he wanted to spend time with other people without the others being overly servile or respectful, although he was a tempered immortal and the strongest under and above the Heavens he still had a rather free and easygoing nature. And what place was better than the Savage Sword Sect for that? Zhu Tian walked leseaurely toward the gate and suddenly in front stopped of it. "Little one wants to enter my Savage Sword Sect? " An ancient and majestic voice rumbled, the voice was tired and indifferent. Zhu Tian clasped his hands and spoke without humility nor arrogance. "Yes esteemed elder, I, Zhu Tian want to become a disciple of the mighty Savage Sword Sect!" The ancient voice laughed softly and the said in a less menacing voice. "Good attitude, good attitude. Advance to the examination room, disciple Mei Ling show little friend Zhu the way. Little friend Zhu, I wish you luck. " As the ancient voice diseapeared Zhu Tian clasped his hands and waited. Little later a young woman appeared from the gate, she was probably seventeen years old. Her cultivation base wasn''t ordinary nor was her rare beauty, she had long eyelash, rare blue fox like eyes, rosy lips and white teeth, she had a refined and intelligent aura around her. Her cultivation was at the peak of the seventh layer of the Body Strengthening Stage, for the low resource of the Savage Sword Sect her talent was truly not bad. "Little brother Zhu, follow me. " Her voice was calm and collected but Zhu Tian could detect the traces of doubt and fear in her face. It was fear for the future and doubt of what will happen. Zhu Tian only nodded and followed her. After passing the gate they still weren''t inside the Sect instead they were in an outer area where various buildings meant to the outsiders were. Later Zhu Tian and Mei Ling entered a building where an old man was seated behind a stone stele, the stele was very strange, it had various golden coloured grooves that gave a mysterious feeling to the stone. The grooves made various mystique forms and pictures, it was truly surreal. The old man looked at Zhu Tian for a moment with a lazy look and then pointed at the stele and said. "Put your hand on the center of the stone, green inadequate talent, blue bellow ordinary, purple ordinary, red good, orange rare, yellow distinguished, white excellent, gray heaven sent. " This narrative has been purloined without the author''s approval. Report any appearances on Amazon. Zhu Tian recognised the stele as a Meridian Grasping Stone, but the perfection between Heavens and Earth comes from the number nine, nine for the Earth nine for the Heavens meanwhile the principal meridian that could determine the talent are also nine but just now the man clearly stated only eight types of talents. "Elder, is gray the maximum level of talent? " Zhu Tian asked quizzically, if that was real then the Third Heaven changed greatly from the last time he was here. "Kid, indeed you are right, there is the ninth type of talent, black! But do you really think that anyone here in this Savage Sword Sect could have talent major to orange? Ha, I, Li Meng, in all my life never saw someone who had talent major to orange! Kid you are just a farmer from this corner of the Great State of Zuo and are already thinking about the ninth type of talent? Under the heaven it''s impossible for black talent to appear! If you have purple talent then this one will slap himself ever time he sees you! Heck, even kids today are wasting my time! " The elder was truly abnormal, in a moment he spat so much impoliteness that even the easygoing Zhu Tian frowned. He never thought that this elder was so stressed that he could even vent on random people. Zhu Tian''s eyes flashed with a strange light, suddenly he closed them and his mouth rose forming a slight smile. PLOP PLOP PLOP PLOP PLOP PLOP In a moment six almost inaudible sounds came from Zhu Tian''s body, only he heard them. Zhu Tian opened his eyes and advanced toward the stele. "Elder look carefully! " Without any notice Zhu Tian put his hand on the stele, in that moment a warm flow passed in his meridians doing no harm nor good. The stele shone with green light, then the light became blue, after some seconds it became purple and slowly after became red, in the end it became orange. The elder and Mei Ling gasped. But the light shone again and in a moment it faded to become yellow, it continued fading until it became white. In that moment the elder''s eyes were wide open and he was almost trembling. Mei Ling covered her small mouth with her hands, astonishment was in her crystal like eyes. The light darkened and became gray, but that didn''t stop, in a moment it became black. The elder eyes moistened and he was almost crying, strangely he wasn''t angry but instead happy. Suddenly the black light faded and golden light shone covering every angle of the room. CRACK In that moment the stele broke in thirteen parts and the light faded. Zhu Tian looked at the elder with a smile and said. "Indeed black is the perfection under the Heavens, but my name is not Zhu Tian for nothin! " (A/N Zhu Tian means above the heavens) --------- Weeeeeeho! Tell me if there are errors please! Tell me if there are suggestions! Peerless Martial Poll This is the Peerless Martial Poll, today I ask the fellow martial brothers and sisters what length you want this one, Wan Qing, to make the chapters? You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version. This one would like to make known that the length of the chapters is proportional to the release time ! Book 1 Chapter 6: The Three Oddities of Li Tiang SLAP The old man slapped himself hard enough to mark his face. But strangely his face was happy and joyous like a castaway who found a safe ship during a storm. Although the Elder didn''t know what was the Golden light at the end, he still saw the black Light and knew its meaning clearly. "Elder no need to take the words said before to heart! I know elder said them just to joke." Zhu Tian''s impression of the old man changed after seeing his reaction, the old man answered like that only because he was worried about the future of the Savage Sword Sect. If he was a bad person and wanted to harm him then the moment Zhu Tian showed his talent the old man should have had an unsightly face, but the man just now clearly showed a joyous face. This shows the love of the man toward the Savage Sword Sect and its future! Another point that helped was the fact that the old man slapped himself just like what he promised,thus showed that the Elder was trustworthy. "Hahaha, a great talent appeared in my Savage Sword Sect! Young friend, wait here I will go call the patriarch! He will certainly be happy, and will help your development." The old man was so happy that his face almost split in two by his smile, he understood the meaning of Zhu Tian''s words, "Let the past dry and the future flow" in other words, the promise of slapping himself every time he sees Zhu Tian could be cancelled. His impression of this young man was clearly very high. "No need, no need. I want to enjoy the life of a normal disciple. If elder wants then elder can speak to the patriarch in secret without making this event known. " Although Zhu Tian unlocked the Nine Meridians and Thirteen Extraordinary Vessels to obtain the Golden coloured talent it wasn''t to create a great commotion, it was just because he was challenged and as a person who didn''t like to lose, Zhu Tian blood boiled. Another cause was because he wanted to see the real nature of the Elder. So he decided to utilize a method that he discovered when he reached the Great Circle of Immortality, but because at that time he already shed his mortality and didn''t have a mortal body anymore he couldn''t utilize this method. Clearly this method was extraordinary and strange, if it was made known then the entire Third Heaven will be flooded with blood, even the illustrious clans of higher Heavens would go crazy because of this technique, after all if they could grasp it then they could easily create an army of immortals! When Zhu Tian got this method, it didn''t have the power to open all the Nine Meridians and Thirteen Extraordinary Vessels, but who was Zhu Tian? He was a master who could change Heaven and Earth, he managed to make this technique more extraordinary by making it open all the Nine Meridians and Thirteen Extraordinary Vessels! Because this method didn''t have a name he decided to give it a name. Meridian Refining Method. A simple name that lacked the might of other techniques names like ''Earth Splitter Demonic Palm'' or ''Descending Mad God Slash'' but the meaning was clear, the technique refined the meridians. After giving his greetings to the Elder, Zhu Tian and Mei Ling advanced toward the eastern part of the Savage Valley, there they got the badge and the robe with big sleeves of the Savage Sword Sect, the robe was blood red with particulars in black, the badge also was red with a big word written in black. This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. OUTER. The word was an indication of his membership. Ling showed Zhu Tian a courtyard in an angle of the valley. After that Mei Ling returned to her business. Although the courtyard was small, it was peaceful. Zhu Tian liked it, he was hot blooded and in certain moments childish nonetheless he still liked calmness sometimes. Zhu Tian went inside the room and after changing in the Sect robe he sat cross-legged on the bed, he then lifted the sleeve of his left arm. On the arm was a tattoo that coiled around his arm like a snake, the tatto was a rope, the rope was lifelike and almost palpable. It was truly surreal. It was red blood as if it was maid by coagulated blood. Terrific. This rope was the Rope of Life, this is the rope that fell in the eighteenth floor of hell, the damned who were in hell could use to ascend back to life. It is one of the Three Oddities of Li Tiang. The Three Oddities of Li Tiang consisted of The Rope of Life from Hell, Li Tiang''s Heavenly Mirror from the Heavens and the Earthly Seed from the Earth. One of those treasures right now was coiled around Zhu Tian''s arm. The function of this rope was a support one, it had almost limitless storage space and other mystique functions. Unfortunately Zhu Tian''s strength right now was low so he could only use a part of the storage function. Zhu Tian touched the rope and in a moment a spherical object appeared in his hand. The object was like a pill but at the same moment it wasn''t, it had an earthen colour and was rough to the touch. If one didn''t know he would certainly think that it was a sphere made with dirt. But it certainly isn''t a common piece of dirt, instead it''s the Heaven shocking Earth Seed from The Three Oddities of Li Tiang! Zhu Tian filled a lot of storage with artifacts, oddities and other cultivation treasures because although he wanted to live the life of a normal disciple he didn''t want to remain stagnant in cultivation. He certainly won''t use too much Heavenly Pills and Earthen Oddities to advance his strength too fast but if it''s needed he will certainly use them. Right now the Earth Seed is one of the object that won''t make his cultivation skyrocket but instead it will help in his future cultivation. Zhu Tian looked at the Earth Seed and made a strange smile. He put the Earth Seed in his mouth and swallowed, instantly the Earth Seed dissolved and dived I''m his meridians and vessels. The meridians and vessels started pulsating, it expanded twice the size and then shrank again to a time and half its initial size. Zhu Tian complexion became extremely pale, he grinded his teeth and his eyes became bloodshot. The pain filled him like swords, his soul was almost shattered from the pain. His viscera almost tire itself. But he didn''t let a sound from his mouth. This action continued until the meridians and vessels became three times the normal size, their colour also changed from red they became earthen yellow. In that moment Zhu Tian fainted. ---------- Hmph, I recommend the fellow martial brothers and sisters to participate in the Peerless Martial Poll, or else don''t blame me for being merciless!
