Time passes like a sword, which can't be stopped in the middle,
The world changes like seasons and weather, old goes and young come.
Destruction follows the creation, everything finds its end for development.
Evolution is the result of destruction.
Plants grow from decaying matter.
The more we know, the more we understand that we know nothing.
The hypothesis is formed after many results, but even then, there are exceptions.
This is what we call a changing world.
Many years had already passed after Cho Byeol lost her cultivation. She was already a Rank three peak stage. She already adapted to the fact that her talent was now ordinary or even lower. Because of this, it took her many years to reach Rank three peak stage. She had already forgiven Dong-Min. In fact, she didn't even blame Dong-Min. She considered Dong-Min to be her best friend.
On a fine day, Cho Byeol and Dong-Min were sitting near the same river, and looking at the river. The sun was bright, there were many trees near the riverside, the river was deep and many kilometers wide.
"Hey Cho Byeol, do you know that I found a cure for your aperture," after a while, Dong-Min said to Cho Byeol while looking at her. His expression was calm and there was some excitement in his eyes.
"A cure, interesting…, wait a minute…, what did you just say…., a cure" At first Cho Byeol didn't understand what Dong-Min said but after a while, she was jolted awake and said while stuttering with excitement on her face.
"Yeah, a cure, that's exactly what I said," Dong-Min nodded and said happily.
"Really Dong-Min, you're not lying right, if you're, then I won't forgive," Cho Byeol grabbed Dong-Min's arms and said.
"Why would I lie to you? I'm telling the truth, and you know, you'll get completely fine after this cure," Dong-Min answered.
"So, what are you waiting for, give it to me," Cho Byeol asked happily and couldn't wait any longer for the cure.
"Well, that's what the problem is. My uncle has it, and he won't give it to me, telling me that I'm a fool," Dong-Min said,
"So, we can't get it then," Cho Byeol said dejectedly, with all the excitement vanishing from her face.
"No, no, that's not what I'm saying. I'm just saying that he won't give it to me, that doesn't mean that he wouldn't give it to someone else." When Dong-Min saw Cho Byeol's expression, he hurriedly said,
"So, would he give it to me?" Cho Byeol said expectantly.
"Why would he? But if they're your parents, it might be possible." Dong-Min said while thinking.
"You're saying that he would not help me directly but if it's a favor to my parents, he might, right?" Cho Byeol said after thinking for a while. She understood what Dong-Min was trying to say. After all, she was kind but not a fool. " I'll tell my parents, and see what they say about this"
"You should, after all, this is a great chance for you to get better," Dong-Min said.
CHo Byeol nodded, she also knew this. After telling this, Dong-Min started practicing. Cho Byeol watched him while thinking about what Dong-Min said,
…..
It was already night, there was huge grassland and a house made of wood was located in the middle of the grassland a palace could be seen far away,
At this moment, a man and two women were sitting in a room around a small square table, discussing something while drinking tea. They were Cho Byeol, her mother, and her father.
"So, you're saying that Dong-Min's uncle has the cure, but he won't give it to him and might give it to us, right? Eun Kyung said while looking gently at Cho Byeol.
" Yeah, that's it," Cho Byeol answered.
"Then, why didn't you say yes, instead of asking us?" Her father said.
"Because I wanted to discuss it with you instead of directly inviting his uncle here, and if you two invite him, it would be even good," Cho Byeol said excitedly.
"Very well then, I'll invite his uncle here tomorrow, you can go and rest," Cho Byeol's father said calmly.
After hearing this Cho Byeol left happily.
After Cho Byeol left the room, their expression turned serious.
"What do you think?" Cho Byeol's father asked.
"I think it's weird as well, why would Dong-Min suddenly know that his uncle has the cure but can't get it. And a thing which can cure the aperture is rare, it is not possible for his uncle to tell anyone about it, let alone Dong-Min. And how can he be sure that his uncle would give the cure to us?" Eun Kyung said with a serious expression after thinking about it,
"You're right, I'm also confused about it," Cho Byeol's father said. He had sharp eyes, wide shoulders, straight long white hair extending to his waist, dark brown eyes, and was wearing white robes. He was handsome and there was some pride in his eyes.
"So, what will you do now?" Eun Kyung said, looking at the man in front of her
"Even though I think something is wrong, we don't have any other choice, or we might not get a chance like this, I can't see my daughter in this condition," Cho Byeol's father said.
"You're right, she's too kind. Even though she looks happy, I know how sad I feel whenever I see her cry alone, she doesn't want us to worry about her," Eun Kyung said with sadness on her face while leaning in the man's embrace.
"But the sect master has given me a mission, and I need to move tonight. The mission is very important and can affect our clan, I need to go, no matter what. There are also other clan elders coming with me. So, I won't be here when Dong Min's uncle comes. I'll send an invitation letter to Dong-Min's uncle. You'll be the only one receiving him. But remember, no matter what, you must get the cure." Cho Byeol's father said while looking at the woman in his arms.
"Oh, the clan has finally decided. And don't worry, I will definitely get the cure. I can't see my daughter in this condition." Eun Kyung said.
"Very well, then I won't worry anymore," Cho Byeol's father said.
…..
It was already morning, the sun was rising on the horizon. Cho Byeol was sitting on the ground outside of her house and was waiting for someone, it was Dong-Min. Eun Kyung walked out of the house, and when she saw Cho Byeol waiting, she said,
"What, you can't even sit patiently now, is Dong-Min that important to you, or is it that you want to speak with him so much that you can't even wait anymore?" Eun Kyung couldn't help but tease Cho Byeol when she saw Cho Byeol waiting for Dong-Min and was smiling with her right hand on her mouth.
"Huh.., wha.., what are you saying, why would I wait for him because I want to speak with him, I can do that some other time as well. I'm waiting for him because he's bringing his uncle, who has a method to heal me completely." Cho Byeol was embarrassed when she heard Eun Kyung, her face turned red and said angrily.
"Yeah, yeah, I know," Eun Kyung chuckled with her right hand on her face. She was amused when she saw Cho Byeol so angry, Eun Kyung looked like she had accomplished her daily mission.
"And anyway, he is just my good friend and nothing more," Cho Byeol wasn't lying, she really did consider Dong-Min her good friend and nothing more.
"Oh, it seems like they have arrived," Eun Kyung suddenly said. Her expression turned calm and was not smiling like before.
"Really, I thought it was going to take them forever," Cho Byeol said excitedly.
"Wait, there seems to be something wrong
here? " Eun Kyung's expression turned serious all of a sudden.
"What? Mom," Cho Byeol turned nervous when she heard Eun Kyung.
"The ones who came aren't just Dong-Min and his uncle, but there are two more men with them," Eun Kyung said, feeling that something was wrong. She had expected that only Dong-Min and his uncle would come, she hadn't expected two more people to come with them.
"What do you mean by that, Dong-Min hadn't said that there would be others with him and his uncle?" Cho Byeol was confused, just like Eun Kyung, she also didn't understand the reason.
…..
Outside of the small space that Cho Byeol and Eun Kyung were in, four men stood, one of them was Dong-Min, and the other three were his uncle and two other men.
"What do you think, elder? Will they allow us inside the small space?" One of the two men asked the man standing at the front, Dong-Min's uncle.
He had wrinkles on his face, a black beard that extended to his chest, his muscles were burly, his eyes were black, and he had a profound aura around him.
"Why wouldn't they? After all, they need a method to heal Cho Byeol's aperture, and I happen to have one. So, they don't have any other choice. They would surely allow us inside, as for the two of you, don't worry, after all, I need someone to protect me as well." Dong-Min's uncle said confidently, as if he had already seen what was going to happen. He smiled and there was some sinisterness in his eyes, which could not be seen.
When Dong-Min saw his uncle, he smiled, and he also had some fear on his face. It looked like he feared his uncle very much.
"Elder, may I know the reason why there are two more people with you and Dong-Min? Dong-Min's uncle suddenly heard Eun Kyung's voice in his mind, it was voice transmission.
"Well, I can't come alone in the territory of Zhang Clan, especially when this place happens to be a small space," Dong-Min's uncle said with a calm expression. Not worrying at all about Eun Kyung's question.
When Eun Kyung heard this, her expression changed. From his tone, it looked like he wanted to enter the small space with all four of them.
**********
"Elder, can I ask you something? Who're they?" Eun Kyung asked, she felt that something was wrong with the other two."These two are the elders of our sect, because of the recent turmoil, I had to ask them to come with me. And after our meeting, I have a mission I need to complete. I brought them with me, So we could directly leave for the mission after this, and I also won't have any fear while in the territory of the Zhang Clan""Even though I know you won't pull any tricks on me or try to harm me, still being cautious isn't a bad thing. So, I hope you won't mind this." Dong-Min's uncle said calmly, not worried at all about if Eun Kyung would allow them in or not.When Eun Kyung heard this she looked hesitant, she understood what Dong-Min's uncle was trying to say, but she was hesitant whether she should let them in or not, after all this was an important decision she had to make. After all, if she doesn't let them in, they might get upset and decide not to gi
"Why would you do that? I had thought that you were my friend," Cho Byeol shouted at the man, who was standing in front of her. She felt extremely aggrieved. She was lying on the ground, injured. Furthermore, she was this much injured because of the aftermath of the battle earlier. Even though Cho Byeol hadn't participated in the battle, she still got injured. The battle, which had happened earlier, was out of her league, especially after her cultivation level dropped to the early stages. If she had her previous cultivation level, she wouldn't have gotten this injured just because of a battle's aftermath. "Why would I? Simple, because we need your mother's physique. Yes, that is right that I had considered you my friend before, even though I had befriended you for a purpose. But then my uncle reminded me of our purpose and that this is a cultivation world. We need to be prepared to do anything, in order to achieve our ambitions and goals. Even if that means to kill our own kin, let a
Su Zhao was not worried at all that Cho Byeol got away, instead, he was smiling, as if he wanted Cho Byeol to get away from here.Eun Kyung didn't see Su Zhao smiling, because her face was still under Su Zhao's foot.After a while, Dong-Min came to Su Zhao's side, he had already regained consciousness."Uncle Su, where is Cho Byeol? I can't see her anywhere." Dong-Min asked his uncle after seeing that Cho Byeol was not around."She got away," Su Zhao said expressionlessly, with a calm tone.When Eun Kyung heard Su Zhao's calm tone she understood that something was amiss."What! Why did you let her go, uncle, what if she brings her father and clan members back here?" Dong-Min became nervous when he heard Su Zhao and asked anxiously."You fool, of course, she would bring others here with her. As for his father, he has already left the clan for some mission, or do you think that we would have succeeded in our scheme if he was here?
"And how's that?" Yang Zhai asked while frowning, he didn't understand what Bae Ah was trying to say. According to Yang Zhai, Cho Byeol didn't change at all.And how did he make the comparison? Simple, after hearing what Bae Ah said, and he also knew about Cho Byeol's personality, it could only be of someone who didn't get much experience."Tell me, if you know about something, won't you think about that thing or try to adjust things in a way, which comforts or benefits you? Unconsciously,""For example, if you are lost in a jungle and find a correct way. But you discover that there are two paths to get out of that jungle. One path is easy and without any hurdles, but is long, dirty, and muddy. The second path is clean, but risky and filled with beasts. Which path would you choose?""You would choose the one which is easy and which also benefits you the best, right.""But for some reason, if you choose the path which is filled with beasts eve
Yang Zhai was still searching when he heard some noises coming from the cave on his left side. Yang Zhai used his methods to make himself invisible and entered the cave.He could sense that it was dangerous to enter the cave. And from the noises he could hear, he understood that there were many beasts in the cave, as for what Rank they possessed was unknown.After a while, Yang Zhai could see some beasts. These beasts looked like monkeys, but their ears extended to the size of one meter, and their height was around 1.5 meters.Yang Zhai didn't know about these beasts, and he also couldn't sense their Rank. It looked like they had the ability to hide their aura or something.Yang Zhai carefully moved deeper into the cave. The passageway for going deep in the cave was three to four meters narrow. He saw many beasts along the way. They were in groups of two to three, and he could see many groups from time to time.Yang Zhai kept on w
While thinking, Yang Zhai saw that the monkey king was struggling to stand up. Yang Zhai knew that this was his chance. So without waiting further, he pushed his hand forward and white light shot out, which turned into a black blade. When the monkey king saw the blade appearing out of nowhere and that the blade was moving towards it, the monkey king tried to dodge but was unable to. The blade hit the monkey king's chest and a deep wound was inflicted. It couldn't dodge because the monkey king was wounded on one leg and the blade's speed itself was extremely high. Yang Zhai continued to attack and only stopped when the monkey king was barely alive. He didn't kill it because he was afraid that the other monkeys might sense it, or some other problems might occur, like what if the monkey king had a connection with the sand or this cave. He was afraid of any problems occurring. When he made sure that the monkey king's eyes had lost their light and that it could barely hear anything, he
The Stars were shining beautifully in the sky. The stars in the sky shone with different colors of dots, it was crystal clear without any clouds or fog obstructing it. The Crescent Moon hung in the sky. There was a beautiful waterfall flowing near a beautiful garden with blue and pink flowers. There was not much distance between the garden and the lake. In fact, it could even be said that the flowers were growing at the side of the lake. The lake was extending into the horizon, reflecting the crescent moon in it. There were yellow lights, the size of a dot in the air, and were rising from the lake. But they were only perceivable in the night and were not lighting the scene, as if they wanted to avoid giving their light to the world around them. They didn't light anything around them. In fact, if these yellow lights were brought close to a person's hand, there would be no reflection of light on the hands. Yang Zhai was standing near the garden, watching the beautiful scene unfold in
"Ahaaaaa,... Yang Zhai, you fool"There was a loud scream in the air that tore through the forest, scaring the birds."Ah, I can see that you're enjoying your time, Bae Ah, hahahaha"There were three people running through the trees in the forest, as fast as they could. Behind the three of them was a group of bees that were chasing them."Enjoying my foot. And you Cho Byeol, how could you trust what he said? I came along because you said that we were going to have fun today. And look what happened, we're being chased by a group of blood-sucking bees, I can't believe you miss." Bae Ah said—while running with all her might—with slight anger and her expression was a bit scary right now because of the exasperation.It turned out that the three people who were being chased were none other than Yang Zhai, Cho Byeol, and Bae Ah."What can I do about it? He said to me last night that today was going to be interesting. How cou
"One thousand mid-grade essence stones is no small amount for a common disciple for sure." Zing Ghe thought and was impressed that the Ma clan was serious about bribing Yang Zhai. These many essence stones were nothing in front of Zing Ghe, but what surprised him was that they were being given to an ordinary disciple, who would be happy even with just 100 low-grade essence stones.Not only that, but the Kroy city's emblem was no joke, even Zing Ghe was surprised. It was like: the Ma and the Bai clans were ready to lose a huge amount of benefits with just this emblem that even 1000 mid-grade essence stones could not compare to. And at that, they were willing to even give up their nomination spot. Kroy City was no ordinary city. Even the Ma clan and Bai clan joining together were like ants in front of Kroy City."Let's do it like this, Yang Zhai, if you accept their offer, we will do everything in our power to assassinate you, even if it costs us the annihilation of the whole clan, reme
"Next, the final battle will be between Yang Zhai and Jun Haru, please come up to the stage."Yang Zhai and Jun Haru walked up the stage after hearing their names. Both stood on opposite sides of the stage, and in the middle stood Zing Ghe."Are you two ready? If you are, then begin" Zing Ghe asked the two and was about to begin the fight when he heard Jun Haru's voice."Wait,""What is it?" Zing Ghe stopped and asked."Yang Zhai, tell me, have you been happy in the Bai clan?" Said Jun Haru."Why suddenly ask that?" Yang Zhai asked with a calm face."Well, I have an offer for you, what do you s
"I don't think I need to explain the rules of the competition. So, without further ado, let us begin the final round of this competition." Zing Ghe announced the start of the final round and continued, "The first battle will be between Ke Xin and Ai Hao." Even though Zing Ghe knew that Ai Hao had died, he still called her name. The reason was that he was an over-watcher and had to follow the rules so that nobody could blame their loss on him. After all, the Bai clan could say that they lost because Zing Ghe did not call for Ai Hao and gave one victory to the Ma clan for no reason. Ke Xin walked up the stage and stood proudly as if he had conquered the competition by himself. "Look at his proud face. He should be thankful that there is no one facing him; otherwise, he would have already been thrown out off the stage.""Right, he lost his first two battles in only two fists. Two fists were all it took to defeat him in two rounds. And look at him, standing as if he has won because of
A month and two days passed, and the day of the final round of the competition had finally arrived. A huge crowd was gathered around the empty stage. On the two sides of the competition venue were two camps: one side belonged to the Ma clan and the other one to the Bai clan. Today was very important for both clans, so both clan leaders of the two clans were here. Even the second and third elders of the two clans were here. Besides them were also a few other elders.Zing Ghe came onto the stage and began his usual speech, "Today, as everyone knows, is the final round of the competition. Betting on anyone is also on. You can bet anything, even your life. As everyone knows, I am an over-watcher. I know many secrets that you don't. I not only looked over the competition, but also over what happened during the breaks that happened between the competition rounds. Allow me to introduce to you the real situation of the competition. The real Death Game!!!"When Zing Ghe spoke these words, t
Yang Zhai's arms started to change colors constantly and returned to their original color after a while. After a while, a colorless aura began to enter his arms. Si Kim sat in his place and the aura did not affect him. However, "I am unable to detect this aura's true origins, I cannot even sense to which path it belongs. But what is even more strange is that my detection method started to change itself when it touched the aura. Just what exactly is this aura?" Zihao De muttered with confusion. He did not look away from Yang Zhai and kept his focus on him. After a while, Yang Zhai's arms completely absorbed the aura that they had released a while ago. Yang Zhai's eyes opened, and he looked at the floor around him. The area of the floor around him had small cracks in it. The small particles which were moving in Yang Zhai's bones had been absorbed by his bones. Only a little while had passed when Yang Zhai's mind went blank. "Change, everything changes. A sapling becomes a tree. A
Yang Zhai took his Kas and left the room. He returned to the room that was given to him by the Clan leader. "His body cultivation talent is not ordinary, I thought he would not even be able to put a single dent in the Brown Dacite, especially after knowing that is still a kid and had not experienced the world." Zihao De said to Tai Qi after Yang Zhai left. Tai Qi, however, was pondering something about something. After a while, he said, "I am more surprised about his will. It is obvious from his performance today that he has a lot of talent for body cultivation, but being able to endure so much is beyond unbelievable. His will is too strong. Zihao De, Yang Zhai owns a strong will. Forget about others, even I don't have this much of a strong will. His determination and endurance are beyond normal. Did you notice that a few strands of his hair even turned white from the pain? And his endurance is strong even without experiencing the world yet. If he becomes evil, he will unleash a gr
"Yang Zhai, stop, that's enough." Tai Qi stood up and stopped Yang Zhai from going any further. The sun had set and It was already night. Around five percent of Yang Zhai's hair had turned white from different spots. The dents had increased from nineteen to twenty-two. His arms were swelling and so did his hands. His face had red lines below his face as if he was crying: however, this was the result of his training. Because he had punched the Brown Dacite so much that his eyes and ears had started bleeding, even his nose and mouth were bleeding. But, Yang Zhai did not care and continued his training because he knew that the Clan leader would heal him after he stopped his training, the reason was that he was needed for the final round. And this was an opportunity that he could not waste. Yang Zhai stopped after the Clan asked him to. Yang Zhai stabilized himself first and stood straight with great difficulty. Because of standing in the same stance for more than eight hours, his legs
Yang Zhai walked forward and came in front of the rock. This rock was around a normal man's size. The color of the rock was brown, filled with red lines all over it. Yang Zhai touched and moved his hand lightly on the surface of the rock and felt its smoothness. "Brown Dacite…," Yang Zhai thought. This rock was not an ordinary rock, but was used by the cultivators to check the determination of the cultivators. This rock could endure the hit of even rank 5 cultivators. There was no way Yang Zhai could break it even with his full strength. However, if he wanted to put a dent in this rock, he would have to hit the same spot again and again until his blood spilled out of his fist and touched the rock. However, the rock would continuously send shocks into his hand, preventing it from getting injured, but his bones would continuously be affected by this rock, modifying his bones slowly. The pain he feels would keep on increasing with every fist. Nevertheless, it was an opportunity for Ya
"So, how's your cultivation going?" Elder Zihao De asked Si Kim and Yang Zhai. "Elder, my cultivation is going smoothly, and I am not facing any issues in my cultivation, but brother Yang Zhai…" Si Kim replied and stopped while speaking, "Yang Zhai what?" "Brother Yang Zhai is not advancing in his cultivation, in fact, his cultivation has dropped to rank 2 early-stage." "Hmm," When Zihao De heard this, his eyes narrowed, he was surprised, at least, that was what his expression looked like. He looked at Yang Zhai with a questioning expression. However, Yang Zhai looked at Zihao De and said with a slight hesitation on his face, "No, Elder, brother Si is lying, my cultivation is going fine. There… is no problem, you don't need to worry." "Hmm, are you sure?" Zihao De looked at Yang Zhai as if he did not believe Yang Zhai. "Brother Yang, what are you saying? You clearly told me that you were having issues with your cultivation, and it was decreasing. Why are you lying now?!
