He was an ordinary carefree kid that enjoyed everything , his life had only just begun.He had just turned sixteen before he got the news he was to die soon. He grew up with his mom who really didn''t care for him and really just let him do what he wanted , this recently changed after he contracted his decease.The disease that he contracted slowly killed him from the inside out and he would often feel pain in his abdomen. With the disease he contracted he was not allowed to leave the hospital which caused deep sadness ,so to escape the sadness he began to read.Although reading wasn''t of his interest before but now he was captivated. After many months of reading and disease , he lost his ability to walk this saddenedhim greatly but his love for reading had well filled the gap in his heart.If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. Suddenly his book fell out of his hand hitting the ground with a thud ,in pain Cheng foe begun to cling to his heart , he felt pain before but nothing like this before. It was obvious this was the effects of the disease and as his vision began to fade he began to scream but nothing came out , the louder he scream the lower he fell into despair. As his final conscious slowly faded he had died. ... "AAAAAAHHHHH!", yelled Cheng foe with a high pitch deafening screech. Cheng foe sprung up and screamed from the pain , he had thought he died as he opened his eyes witch immediately darted across the room , he was not in the hospital bed but in a bedroom which he didn''t recognize. Out of no where his mind began to fill with memories not his but someone elses memories and as they clashed against his mind he saw it all , all of Hei Jin Hua''s memories played like a recording in his head , his birth , his childhood until now all of it. And as they clash he fell into a deep sleep , giving his mind to repair from the traumatic experience of transmigration as well as Cheng foe''s and Hei Jin Hua''s memories and emotions clashing like two tides fighting for control. Hei Jin Hua A few days later... The scene changed as a foggy forest could be seen , this was night shade forest and was the main hunting ground of the Heavenly Cherry Blossom Sect. A man could be seen in the forest a tall muscular man , this was sect leader Hei Jin Ren. He could be seen accompanied by two sect elders.They quietly ran through out the forest without making a sound , they jumped , dashed until they had spotted their pray , the Night Shade Wolf King. The Night Shade Wolf King is a dangerous beast , it has a grey fur that is as delicate as the wind , it had an unfazed expression it was laying in entrance of its den , compared to regular wolfs it was monstrous if it standing upright it would twice as tall as the sect leader, clearly it hadn''t detected the Sect members yet. The sect leader pulled a bow off his back delicately , the Wolf Kings ears twitched as it noticed the noise and glanced at them , The sect leader was unfazed by the wolf kings detection and a pulled an arrow from his quiver. With his arrow ready he lined it up with his bow and began to pulled back , the tension of the bow could be heard meters away causing great suspense with the sect leaders muscles bulging he used his qi to empower the bow , the light qi slowly crept up the bow from bottom to arrow to top and as he let go the light erupted. The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.The sect leader activated his heavenly bow technique: Light arrow , with that the sect leader let go of the arrow its shear abruption lit up the forest like the sun. It resembled shooing star as it flew , its speed had gone beyond the mortal eye could see. As it narrowed at its target the wolf king shrunk back in fear and died. The explosion and collision of the light arrow could be heard from miles away , in a normal circumstance the wolf would be reduced to ashes but the Wolf king is rather durable so most of its abdomen area was destroyed only leaving its qi core and most of the use full parts. As the light dissipate the sect leader lowered his bow , he then inspected his qi core ,which was at half of its original qi reserves , this was the price of using powerful techniques it need lots of qi to activate. The sect leader told the two elders present to dismember the wolf king and take the useful parts , with that the sect leader had finished his hunting expedition. .... Hei Jin Hua''s mind had been slowly repairing over theses past few days , Cheng foe had finally fused with Hei Jin Hua as they had become a new man , from the fusion of minds the two consciouses collided creating a new mind , full of both of their memories and emotions. It was a peculiar experience , with his mind finally at ease he woke up slowly and began to recall his mind diving through Hei Jin Hua''s memories , it was second nature to him. With that he slowly held out his hand above his head , looking in-between his fingers , he began to ponder , he was truly both Hei Jin Hua and Cheng Foe. With that he clenched his fist ,"I won''t waste this chance iv''e been given",his grey eyes gleaming , he made a vow to himself. "From now on I will live with no regrets and live life to the fullest , if that means working myself to death so be it , if it means putting myself in danger so be , if that means causing my death in the process so be it. " And with that Hei Jin Hua vowed to live life to the fullest no matter the cost. Qi Understanding In between the Nightshade forest and the Heavenly cherry blossom sect there was a road, on the road there where three qi masters running on the road they where the sect leader and the two elders. The sect leader had a calm expression as he ran, his elders on the counter part looked exhausted. This shows the endurance of the sect leader as one of the peak qi masters of his realm. They began to close in on the mountain where the Heavenly cherry blossom sect was located. ... Hei Jin Hua''s vows had been complete, as he got up he bumped into his nightstand causing his eyes to wonder to the book on top. It was a cultivation book that was given to him before his father left. He was interested of what was inside the book, so he sat down on his bed and turn to the first page. He began to read... With that the chapter ended, this was very useful information. He turned the page slowly to the new chapter. If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation. After absorbing this information, he closed the book, although the book went over cultivation it was quite vague with very little information about the different realms and such and he made it a goal to ask his father about it. With that he closed the book and walked to his door and as he opened it the sunlight crept in, with that he took his first steps outside of his room and admired the scenery. The heavenly cherry blossom sect was beautiful , it had snowy mountains in the distance with a delicate river running through them with a water fall at the end, which eventually creates a stream that gently reaches the sect as its water source. In front of the mountains was the Night Shade Forest where the sect leader was hunting previously, is look like a mirage with mysterious mist surrounding it. A few moments later his admiring can to an abrupt stop as the Sect gate was being crowded by many mortals who where welcoming the Sect leader from his hunting expedition. The gate swung open as the sect leader with great pride walked through, the people moved back creating space for the sect leader and the two elders to walk. The Sect leader greeted many mortals and qi masters as he walked breaking through the crowd. After the sect leader reached the sect hall, he ordered the sect elders to store the Wolf Kings materials in the hall storage section. With that the sect leader noticed his son watching him and signaled for him to come toward him, ever since he lost his wife from a poisoning he has had trouble raising his son but he always tried his best. Hei Jin Hua hesitated slightly before going over to his father,"father how was the hunting expedition?",Hei Jin Hua asked out of genuine interest, his father was quite taken aback by this. His son has been quite distant with him for years, he was ecstatic about this change "Son, It was great we reaped lots of benefits from this hunt, we even where able to find a realm 3 qi Wolf king which I slayed with ease." The sect leader had lots of experience hunting wolfs. After hearing this Hei Jin Hua was confused he did not know what "realm 3 qi beast core" meant but tried to sound surprised,"Really a realm 3 Wolf king how surprising!."Him not knowing what it meant that, he desperately had to learn more about cultivation. His father surprised again by his sons attitude, his joy gleaming across his face he began to speak,"Son if you are ever interested in cultivation you can always console me", his father was happy that his son show at least some interest. The future for his bloodlines cultivation as well as the sect''s future will rest on Hei Jin Hua''s shoulders one day. With that the Sect leader left, Leaving Hei Jin Hua to his own thoughts,"Wow, cultivation seems very complicated, fathers knowledge will be very useful, when he has time I will ask him to teach me all he knows!". After his day dreaming ends he looks to the horizon, this officially marked the beginning of Hei Jin Hua''s journey. The Heavenly Cherry Blossom Sect 3 months flew by like a gentle breeze.... Although living in the sect is rather difficult he got used to it, except for his physical training he has been doing, he asked his father for guidance but he hadn''t have the time so he sent Elder Zhen Ji to train him. Hei Jin Hua was siting under a cherry blossom tree admiring the group of sect disciples below training. With his young age he is unable to perform martial arts, this is due to the fact that of his premature qi core that needs a few more months before it is properly matured and ready to cultivate .The age of the core is fully mature varies by person but the average qi masters qi core takes 15 years to fully mature. Theses few months he has learned a lot from Elder Zhen ji, from many different plants useful to cultivation and creating pills to advanced physical training. Elder Zhen ji had also showed him his sword technique - Cherry blossom sword style , which is the foundation technique of the sect. It''s very versatile and once it is mastered it can be focused on very specific aspects of the technique such as greater offense or greater defence. The disciples below were also practicing this technique but it wasn''t nearly as refined as the elders. To fully understand a technique takes time and effort such as Sect leaders Heavenly bow art - Light Arrow , the sect leader had recently gotten this technique and his understanding was rather vague causing the technique to use lots of qi to activate and perform. Abruptly the disciples below had now began to break formation it was break time, with that Elder Zhen Ji could be seen leaving the sect hall walking towards Hei Jin Hua. "Greetings Elder Zhen Ji", Hei Jin Hua greeted elder by bowing,"Greetings Young master, i see that you''re resting" the elder said with a smile. "Im just admiring the cherry blossoms", he glanced at the tree, its flowers pink radiating with beauty. Elder Zhen Jin followed Hei Jin Hua''s gaze to the Cherry blossoms "In a few months and they will wither away and next year it will flower again but yes, this years flowers are beautiful indeed". "Come the winter market has just opened, many merchants from the neighboring sects will be here.", Elder Zhen Jin lead the way for the two towards the second division where the market was located. ..... The sect leader could be seen sitting down in a vast room, it had a tiled floor with many beautifully decorated columns holding the roof up, its vastly decretive and empty state gave it an unexpected dense atmosphere. The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation. This is the cultivation hall and it was reserved to the sect leader at the moment, he had a bunch of materials around him in including the Night Shade Wolf KIng''s qi core which he got months ago. The sect leader is a realm 2, Qi enhancement stage qi master, he has been struggling to advance to realm 3 for years. The sect leader was already a force to be reckoned with, his realm 2,Qi Enhancement, is known across the continent. Most sect leaders are generally realm 1,Qi Enhancement so the Heavenly Cherry Blossom sect leader, He Jin Ren is known as a powerhouse looking over his own sect and 2 small scale sects as well as Night shade forest which produces spirit grass and night shade wolfs naturally. With these resources he has grown his sect and himself to a large scale and if he was able to advance he would be able to control the snowy mountains, although the mountains seemed barren there where many benefits for having control of them. But first he needed to advance. Previously he hadn''t have the resources to advance but now with the Night Shade Wolf King Beast qi core he many now be able to advance. After obtaining the Wolf King beast core, he had set many missions at the clan commission center for the the hunting retrieval of night shade wolf teeth bones and claws. He specifically needed night shade wolf remains to complement the beast core in his advancement, with the night shade wolf remains it provides the greatest chance of success. The many bones and teeth were surrounding the sect leader, in front of him lay large teeth, claws and bones. With these where the Wolf Kings remains which will be absorbed into the qi core last. He took a deep breath, spirit grass incense entered his lungs calming his mind and soul, he was now beginning the break through to realm three. In his meditative state he showed great focus, his realm 2 qi aura was released creating a dense atmosphere around the hall. With the core in front of him, he directed his aura into it. Although the beast core was realm 3 the sect leader could still easily subdue it is because the beast is dead and it couldn''t resist the take over. With that a beast is not a human, it lacks intelligence to refine its qi core and the beast is usually born with the qi core human qi core, that is why a realm higher qi core is usually use to break through to the next realm. Which makes it easier to control. His aura seeped throughout the qi beast core subduing it slowly, his efforts payed off as the beast core began to show cracks. Slowly these cracks began to pile up and it finally shattered, from its shattered state a ball of light could be seen, this ball of light was barely under the sect leaders control he used all his will power to control it to absorb some of the prepared night shade wolf remains and it began to stabilize. The materials slowly began to move towards the the light sphere like a magnet and as they approached the sphere the closer they got the faster they went in and in a flash they had been fully absorbed by the light. It now slowly began changing its color to a slightly purple color signifying that the sect leaders preparations didn''t go to waste, with that a giant burden of keeping it stabilized was lifted off the sect leaders shoulders. A trickle of sweat rolled down his face as he took a deep breath continuing. Now he added the Night shade wolf kings claws bones and teeth, theses materials made it much more stable further lifting the burden. This made the light energy to become a deep purple, emitting realm tree aura in the process.The sect leader was ecstatic it truly had enough realm 3 aura for him to progress to the next realm. With that he prepared himself for the final stage of his realm break through process... Sect Leaders Realm Ascension The bright purple sphere glowed lighting up the dim room, the sect leaders control was now at its peak. A small stream of purple energy began to poor out from the sphere, the energy began to continue flowing until it eventually reached his qi core. His qi core was slowly absorbing the purple sphere and as he absorbed it became smaller and smaller until it was all absorbed. The original realm 2 qi was now being used to absorb the qi, the color when from a dak green to a purple as the qi changed.The sect leader was using the accumulated realm 3 qi and cultivating it to be used in the assertion of realms. Now that the qi in the qi core was realm 3 the sect leader willed it began to create waves to crash against the qi walls, it was like a vast purple ocean with tides and waves that reach to the sky. The waves crashed under the sect leaders will, it slowly began the inner layer of the qi core. The realm 2 qi core was slowly being shatter and cracks could be seen, from these cracks the realm 3 qi core wa could be seen in all of its glory. The waves crashed creating bigger and bigger cracks until. It shattered and as it shattered the sect leaders body and soul changed, his body that had big bulging muscles have now been compacted with a bronze like layer of skin which only made him feel stronger. His muscle fibers felt like steel wire and his bones felt like iron. His body''s transformation was incredible all of his parts had been compacted to a insurmountable degree, he felt like a completely different person. And as the euphoric state of his body growing stronger, abruptly it began to slowly faded away. He looked inward to his qi core, the newly created realm 3 qi core began the process of creating realm 3 qi. "I have truly succeeded in realm ascension!" an extraordinary amount of joy and pride fell across the sect leader as he celebrated. All of the preparations didn''t go in vain he had truly ascended to realm 3. ... At the winter market Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. Hei Jin Hua and Elder Zhen Ji were walking down a crowded street with many merchants and regular humans buying and selling various items from cultivation resources, food to jewelry. The market was located in the second district of the Heavenly Cherry Blossom sect, the districts have various uses and are separated by lime stone walls and a iron gates. The Sect is separated into different sections called districts each has its uses, District 3 was the outer district and was the largest it was where the farms and where rice and barley is grown. District 2 is where the housing is, most people live here such as all the regular humans and most qi masters. Most of the markets are here as well. District 1 is where training occurs and where the sect hall is located as well as the housing of the sect elders and leader as well as there family. The martial market is also here, one has to be a qi master to purchase from here. Hei Jin Hua''s attention drifted towards a merchant in black, the merchant noticed the young master and smiled,"Hello young sect master what can I do your you this fine evening?",Hei Jin Hua''s eyes drifted across his sales. Ther where wines food and even some jewels. "How about.... Can I get a jar of spirt grass wine?" Hei Jin Hua was not interested in drinking it,"Of course that will be 1 going coin", the merchants hands drifted towards the wine and lifted it up. "Wow so expensive", Hei Jin Hua thought to himself. He checked his pockets he currently had 5 gold coins and 12 silver coins. He held out the gold coin, the merchant took it and handed over the wine,"Young master thank you for stopping by", the merchant bowed a little and gave his respect towards the Elder and Young master. "Thank you for the wine", he left with Elder Zhen Ji who had watched the whole ordeal go down. "That wine was rather expensive.. " Hei Jin Hua complained "Now I only have 4 gold coins left" Elder Zhen chuckled, "It seems rather good quality, 1 gold coin is rather expensive though" he continued "Prepare for your future cultivation us wise young master, I''m impressed" "Thank you Elder Zhen Ji I''m am not worthy of your praise", Hei Jin Hua and Elder Zhen Ji Began to walk again amongst the crowd. It truly was a spectacle of wonderfulness, people eating and drinking laughing amongst themselves, children running around the street and playing in the cherry blossom trees with expressions of pure joy and freedom. "Te Heavely Cherry Blossom sect truly is special..." Hei Jin Hua was admiring the scene unfolding infront off him that could only be described as true joy. "It is the most wonderful place I''ve been and I can say that for certain", the pride and admiration towards the sect could be heard in his voice. They continued walking through the roads of the market and before they knew it it was beginning to become dark. Hei Jin Hua and Elder Zhen Ji where now heading back towards district one, the sunset had now settled its light fading only leaving the dark sky behind. It vastness was like a empty canvas with unlimited possibilities and outcomes, Hei Jin Hua left the Elder and wen to his room. "This spirit wine will truly be very beneficial towards cultivation when I can", he slid it under his bed and lay down on his bed and drifted to sleep. Morning Walk The next morning Hei Jin Hua woke up abruptly. His eyes opened slowly, the sun''s rays hitting his face through the window, it was sunrise the sun was a deep orange this scene was beautiful. He then woke up changing into his clans robes and walked outside reveling the Heavenly Cherry Blossom sects 1 district filled with buildings and Cherry blossom trees. The districts make up the sect as a whole, there are 3 districts named by numbers, the first district is where the training is commenced and is where the elders and sect leader lives. District 2 is where the majority of people live this is also where the merchants and where the business are ran. District 3 is the largest district allocated to farming food for the sect and is as crucial as the other districts. Not many people live here only the farmers. Hei Jin Hua snapped out of his day dreaming and began to walk down the Stoned path, it was like a snake traversing through the carous buildings and cultivation classrooms. His walking continued through theses buildings until a trail could be seen going up a nearby mountain. The Heavenly cherry blossom sect was not a perfect circle the 2nd and 3rd districts where not around the 1st they where just infront of it becoming smaller the closer they can towards the 1st district So many there are many routes for exploring that start from the 1st district, recently he had been going up the purple mountain trail with Elder Zhen Ji. This mountain was relatively harmless and was used to grow purple grass and other materials. His walking continued further through the 1st district until he reached the Cherry blossom field, this field of cherry blossom trees are the pride of the sect memders and is looked after with great care. This is shown by the beauty displayed by trees, the trees where currently blooming there pinks flowers where imminent in full display. Beyond the cherry blossom field was a small pond, in this pond where many koi fish with unique marks on them.These fish lit up the pond giving it a display of unique colors. Hei Jin Hua knealed down to further inspect the fish before being interrupted.Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings. Hei Pun Pun walked towards the the young master and greeted him with respect, he was one of Hei Jin Hua''s many servants. Hei Pun Pun went up to Hei Jin Hua and asked him "Young master, why are you up so early it is still a long time before your endurance training with Elder Zhen Ji","Just having a morning walk",Hei Jin Hua smiled showing his happiness. Even though Hei Jin Hua was above Hei Pun Pun it statis he still converses with the servant with a respectful manner, this left a deep impression in Hei Pun Puns heart. Hei Jin Hua then asked Hei Pun Pun a question "Pun Pun has my father come out of his cultivation yet?", Hei Pun Pun answered quickly "No young master the sect leader has not left the cultivation hall to my knowledge", "Ah I see",this was in expectations ctivaton can take time to complete. "Could you have come breakfast arranged for me" Hei Jin Hua was quite hungry, "Of course young master I will arrange with the chef''s to provide your breakfast" Hei Jin Hua was pleased with this, he had gotten used to having servants. He dismissed Hei Pun Pun and continued his walk before a thought crossed his mind, "If father has entered cultivation shouldn''t I go sneak and watch him?", from watching the sect leader cultivate he could gain lots of insight for the future. He immediately changed his path towards the cultivation hall. The cultivation hall Is a giant hall that is currently being occupied by solely the sect leader. It''s main purpose is to protect the qi master during cultivation because when one is cultivation the person becomes very vulnerable and susceptible to attack. His running continued passing the previous buildings and many servants until reaching the cultivation halls entrance. He stopped for a second to catch his breath before peeping through the crack in the door to observe his father''s cultivation just a little bit would be beneficial. But he saw know one which puzzled him, then he opened it slightly to see more but nothing until. The sect leader then appeared infront of Hei Jin Hua and startled him slightly "Um ,Father um I ....", he did not know what to say his father caught him red handed. Sect leader Hei Jin Ren''s appearance had changed slightly, his muscles have metallic gleam to it, his eyes have become sharper and over all his The sect leader chuckled and put his hand on his sons head "My son don''t be so nervous I was only playing a trick", the sect leader laughed a little then Hei Jin Hua did as well. There relationship had improved alot over these days and it was very healthy. Sect leaders realm 3 arua was suddenly released surprising Hei Jin Hua his father''s area was already but the sudden increase in the sect leaders strength shuddered his very soul. "Son, I have advanced to realm 3 and need to inform the elders immediately",Sect leader ruffled his sons hair again before abruptly flying away. "What!", Hei Jin Hua was stupefied the last thing he expected was his father to levitate and fly away. The flying ability came from the realm advancement, various things can happen during a realm advancement. Hei Jin Hua''s much was hug open watching his father fly away, he slowly composed himself. The mysteries of cultivation are as dense as the earth and reach far into heaven and unraveling these secrets is the truth of cultivation. Uproar The Sect leader delicately landed in front of the main hall with his robes fluttering in the wind. A couple servants nearby where stunned by his sudden arrival, the sect leader immediately told these servants to call the eladers for a meeting with they obligated immediately. The sect leader opened the door of the sect door showing a round table with 17 seats for him and all the eldersto sit and speak, he then walked over to his seat and sat down resting a bit before the elders come in. The Elders entered the hall one by one siting on there corresponding seats and once all the elders entered the hall sitting down the meeting started. The sect leader announced that he had realm advanced to realm 3, this shocked the elders initially but the sect leader was a prodigy in his own right this was expected. The elders praised the sect leader in his realm advancement this was a huge deal but the sect leader accepted there praise and continued the meeting. Many things where mentioned and discussed such as Night shade forest as well as the two sects under Heavenly Cherry Blossom sect known as Fishing Village of Ling Que and Mount Tai sect but the most important was snowy mountain. Snowy mountain is a mountain in habitat by snow beasts that can have immense strength, the sect leader now with his increased battle strength wanted to take control of snowy mountain and take the resources. Previously he never thought of doing this at all because the realm 3 snow beast were common acuruance,his strength before could not compare but now but now he could be on the same level as they are evening out the battle field. Next Elder Zhen Ji piped up and mentioning the awakening ceremony for this year''s batch of desiples, sect leader assigned 3 elders including Elder Zhen Ji to over see it in 2 months before they go on expedition.This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there. The sect leader continued assigning various roles for each elder to do in preparation for the expedition he also hand picked 5 elders to take with him for support. With that the meeting ended, the elders dismissed themselves and left to start there various tasks to complete.The sect leader continued to sit on his seat inspecting his qi core with a intriguing gaze. ... Back in Hei Jin Hua''s room Hei Jin Hua was siting on his bed getting served good by a female servant, the food was delicious and being served was very nice but this wasn''t on his mind, what was was his father''s sudden flight attainment the impression it left on him was deep. There was a sudden knock on on the door, Hei Jin Hua allowed entry and apon seeing Elder Zhen Ji he bowed his head in respect "Good afternoon Elder Zhen, why are you here?",Hei Jin Hua was feed another piece of bread, "Young master your awakening ceremony is happening in two months being instructed by me". To Hei Jin Hua this was good news in 2 months time he will soon be able to cultivate "That''s great news", he said with enthusiasm. "There will also be an expedition after the awakening ceremony which I will be going with you father to snowy mountain.So you better keep up your training when I''m gone" Elder explained these things to Hei Jin Hua under the command of the sect leader. Hei Jin Hua was told also told of some of the meetings conversations, this was also the sect leaders orders. The sect leader wants his son to know what''s going on in the sect because on day he will take over it and need to take control. The Elder then left leaving Hei Jin Hua in his thoughts. ... The information of the sect leaders realm advancement was not a small matter, it spread like wild fire to the nearby sects. Realm 3 sounds closs to realm 2 but it is not realm advancement is not a small achievement is symbolizes an extreme increase in overall strength in the sect. The Fishing Village of Ling Que was the first together this information, the reactions where praisedfull because Ling Que had just become realm 2 a couple years ago so his he was just finishing qi absorption stage. Mount Tai sect was the second to get this information, but the sect leader Tai bai shun was currently in secluded cultivation trying to breakthrough to realm 2 so his elders got and prossesed this information. All the other sects that got this information was either to far way for wariness or are too small to care for the likes of the Heavenly Cherry Blossom sect. All this of shows the difference between realm 2 and 3, and the new strength the sect leader has gained. Training Hei Jin Hua could be seen on purple mountain nearby the Heavenly Cherry Blossom sect. He was out of breath panting the sweat from his forehead trickled down his neck and dropped onto the purple colored dirt. "Elder Zhen Ji, I can''t go on!", his exhausted state could be seen by his shaking legs, Elder Zhen Ji was incharge of Hei Jin Hua for the time bringing as well as overseeing his training. "Young master this training is important foe your future growth, the time and effort you exert now will show great benefits in the future", Elder Zhen Ji with the role as mentor enlightened Hei Jin Hua. Elder Zhen Ji I''m very grateful for your endurance training", Hei Jin Hua could barely speak he was so tired. "How about we end here today?",Elder Zhen Ji could see the exhausted state and at least had some sympathy. "Yes please elder", this is the furthest he had gone yet so he was proud of himself for doing better, in his past life he had bearly moved for years he was stuck in a hospital bed so this was thrilling and harder than he expected. They turned around together and began to walk down purple mountain there black and pink robes fluttering in the wind with the Heavenly Cherry Blossom sect in the distance. Hei Jin Hua''s eyes glanced around the mountains vegetation although it was quite dry it had a beautiful purple color glistening in the sunlight. They continued walking through the nimble mountain path until they reached the foot of the mountain, there was a river that had silver streaks inside of it, this was water qi and wasn''t all that was unique there where also strange fish. These fish where blue and green in color with a silver belly, these fish are called Spotted Qi fish, these fish are mostly used for water path qi cultivation and they are also quite good eating. Many regular people fish here for fun because the fish are quite big nearly being 40cm long. Previously the sect leader used tons of nightshade wolf materials to advance, these materials are dark path materials so when the sect leader advanced his qi core changed to a dark qi core changing to a dark purple color. Many advantages came from this as dark path martial arts need less qi for activation and are easier to learn and have a stronger effect. Hei Jin Hua and Elder Zhen Ji crossed the river it wasn''t very deep bearly knee deep, then they continued walking towards the sect. After walking past the river they soon reached the district 3 gate which they opened and walk into district 3. It had gotten late the sun was already beginning to set so the farms where quite barren, all the farmers had left to go to sleep. There where farms of various grasses and grains that where unique to this world that Hei Jin Hua could recognize from his body''s memories. Elder Zhen Ji did not pay much attention to the crops and continued on there walking to the district 2 gate in the distance. Once they had reached it it was quite large with 2 qi master guards that bowed to the 2 and opened the gate for them. This district was still busy even though it was nearly night time the where inns bustling with life and the sent of the delicious food from the various dinners could be smelled. By now the moon had start to rise with its white light shining onto the ground, the light lead them to the final gate where there where also 2 guards. They wore the signature color of there sect black and pink, after seeing Hei Jin Hua and Elder Zhen Ji approaching they quickly opened the gate for them.Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road. They both walked through the gate thanking that guards and continued walking towards the there rooms that were near the sect hall. They pasted the koi pond that reflected the moons light created a beautiful scene, the passed the training rooms. They soon reach the sect hall and split up to go there separate rooms,while walking to his room Hei Jin Hua past the library which was where the martial art books are stored. To get access to any of these books one needs to do commissions to earn contribution points to spend on martial arts books, cultivation materials and even alchemical pills. He walked a bit before finally reaching his room, it had been clean by servants so all the cloths where fresh and before he knew it he flopped onto his bed in exhaustion. "Wow the awakening ceremony is really coming quickly", he was nervous and excited about it. It will his fate and how he will cultivate in the future as well as his cultivation limit. He then slowly closed his eyes and drifted to sleep. ... Sect Leader Hei Jin Ren was sitting in one of the many training rooms alone in great concentration, the problem at hand was not the mountain expedition but was his qi core. It was now Dark path. He did not currently know any Dark type martial arts and this as a problem because his previously used light path martial arts could not be used. The Sect leader paid a price for his realm advancement and it was the loss of his uses of his light path martial arts as well as his hybrid qi core of vitality path and light path. Hybrid qi cores are a mixture of 2 qi paths that complement each other well and vitality and light are a great example. The sect leader had many martial arts in theses paths, one example of vitality is the Cherry Blossom Sword Style and one light path being Light arrow which was used to kill the Nightshade Wolf King. Although the sect leader had lost all of his roots in these 2 paths his gain s heavily outweighed the losses he had ascended to realm 3! His qi core capacity of qi increased as well as its potency and production as well as it being naturally easier to learn Dark path martial arts. The sect leader then reaches for one of the 4 martial arts books on the floor, he opened the book revealing descriptions of dark path martial art known as Night shade blade, its was created by an elder of the sect decades ago and is now one of the foundations of the sect. It adds a uses dark path qi to add a black aura around the blade that when slashing an opponent it creates a wound that doesn''t naturally heal and can bleed for ever leaving visible black aura unless a healing technique is used on the opponent that has been slashed. The bases of Martial arts run deep throughout history, they are developed by qi masters to reach the top of the cultivation world and crush all there enemies. Some of theses martial arts are not used for fighting and are developed for practical uses for specific qi masters such as healing and alchemy. Healing is a must have at least at a low level but some specialize in this type of martial arts giving them great reputation in respective clans. Alchemy is a unique art that is also mostly cultivated at least the lowest level because it''s over all practicality is great, most qi masters use alchemy to create incenses and pills some being higher quality some being low, the rate of success and quality of the product is solely dependent of overall experience and mastery of this art. Some alchemists can produce life extension pills and even some immortal materials but to attain these benefits one needs to have many lifetimes worth of experience in this art. The sect leader disregard dark path martial arts for these functions so they did not concern him, the ones he needed where attack, defense and movement. He was looking over the 4 dark path martial arts books provided by the library. He had specifically chosen theses arts to learn over the time remaining before the Snowy Mountain expedition. The first was Nightshade blade it is realm 2 and is an evolved version of dark blade. The second was also an attacking type dark path martial art called Dark Nebular it is realm 3 and is very unique, it uses properties of space path which amplifies the strength and perplexity of the technique. It''s primary use is to create suction and repulsion, it can also be used to increased the gravity upon a person weakening them significantly. The other two are defence and movement type martial arts, the sect leader opened the second book revealing the movement type martial art called Shadowless. Shadowless is based after the Nightshade wolf''s unique trait of becoming a shadow at will, the overall martial uses dark qi to become a sort of shadow that allows one to dash quickly, it''s drawback is that it requires a constant stream of qi to activate but this drawback has little effect on the sect leader because this martial art is realm 2 and with his realm 3 qi it''s constant activation costs almost nothing. The final one is the defensive type martial art called Dark Veil, this was crucial it was by far the most useful, it has amazing defensive properties allowing one to completely reflect an attack realm 3 without taking any damage, but although it is strong it''s one weakness is light any light path type martial art could easily bypass this defensive technique. These martial arts where the best for the sect leaders situation and his limited time only allowed him to choose these 4. And now the grueling stage of learning these martial arts had commence immediately giving him as much time as he could to temper them into his body.
