A living being— no matter how small, or how big— requires a soul. Nothing could live without a soul. The soul was considered the crux of a living being. A soul was even more important than the organs to a cultivator. But a soul was also a very complicated thing. Even a fly needed a soul, let alone the other animals.
Without a soul, the body was only a statue. No matter how profound or detailed a statue was, it was still a statue, it could not move or feel. A soul was just like a person's consciousness and controller. Without a soul, the statue could only be controlled by the others, even the mind would be useless. Just like the concept of Zombies on the earth. Like a puppet, that was controlled by the others.
But even the one controlling the puppet also possessed a soul. A dead body would be buried or burned back on the earth. Without a soul,
When the boy and the girl heard this, their eyes widened. They now knew why Yang Zhai had brought them with him. The boy hurriedly used the Rank one Earth path technique that he was taught in the academy. But Yang Zhai easily dodged to the left and avoided the dust ball."We don't have much control over this technique yet, we will just waste our Essence water whilst he keeps on dodging." The boy said after understanding that the use of the earth path technique would not be able to hit Yang Zhai with their mastery of the skill."So, what should we do?" The girl asked."Simple, we will attack him physically and try to run when we have the chance. I don't think he would be able to match both of us in physical terms." When Yang Zhai heard the boy, he smiled. Both of them attacked Yang Zhai together, but he easily jumped back and dodged the two. The boy attacked Yang Zhai again from the left side with a punch, but Yang Zhai simply moved a little to the side and evade
The Refinement Path was broad in the cultivation world, including the refinements of the Kas, treasures, pills, medicines, and many more things.There were many ways to refine these things. But there were also unorthodox methods to refine them. One such method was human refinement. It was considered the evil and most ruthless method of all. This method was strictly forbidden to be even talked about, not even to warn anyone. Every major sect and clan tried to hide human refinement from the world. They did not want to take the chance of raising someone's curiosity about this refinement, which may lead to unexpected problems. In this method, the humans were sacrificed to refine the materials. When human refinement was used, no other refinement methods were needed.And what was even more dangerous was that this method was not just limited to only one procedure. There were many ways to refine a Ka with this method. Like, such as cutting the body whilst keeping
Yang Zhai threw the rocks into the Ice Fire. Both of the rocks were covered in the Hell Wood, therefore, when they were thrown into the fire, the Hell Wood caught the fire with an intensity that even the grass —that was thrown before it— did not burn with. Because the rocks were covered in the Hell Wood, they also began to burn instantly. Yang Zhai checked the other four rocks, just like he checked the two rocks before, to see if they were hard enough. He chose one out of the four and wrapped it in the Hell Wood as well. He then threw it into the fire as well. This rock also began to burn fiercely because of the Hell Wood.Yang Zhai only needed three Rocky Wall stones in this refinement. He had bought six rocks to be careful. He used the three best rocks out of the six and stored the other three in the storage Ka. The stronger the Rocky Wall rock he used was, the better his Ka was going to be.
A Ka was floating in the air. This Ka was about three inches big in size and was circular. Its skin texture was rocky and the Ka was red in color. It had four legs and a horn on its head. This was Rank 2 "The Strength Ka", that Yang Zhai had just refined.This Refinement of the Strength Ka took several hours to complete.Yang Zhai looked at the Ka and examined it carefully. After confirming that the Strength Ka was fine and there were no problems, he ordered it to enter his aperture. Yang Zhai did not need to enslave it, as he himself had refined it. The thoughts that were stored in its mind(its memory) were given by Yang Zhai himself. He didn't need to contaminate its will, as its will was created by Yang Zhai.After storing the Strength Ka, Yang Zhai looked around himself and saw that nothing was wrong and the cave was completely quiet. He then stored the leftover materials from the refinement process in the Bloody-Storage Ka.
The next day"After a month, there will be competition between you kids. All of you should start to prepare. Therefore, everyone can pick any three technique scriptures from the academy's study hall. And also, know that the person who wins this competition will be rewarded with 50 low-grade essence stones. Not just that, the one who wins this competition will lead the class team against the second Academy's class team when the competition between the academies arrives." Elder Ren said, and then he looked toward Yang Zhai,"Yang Zhai, tell me, why are there two kids missing today? Do you know anything?""No, elder. I don't know why brother Ming and sister Fu are missing today. But I will send someone to check their house and ask their parents." Yang Zhai replied. There was no nervousness or fear on Yang Zhai's
"Can you believe it, dad? He orders our class around like we are his puppets." Ci An said angrily while standing in front of a man.This man had short gray hair. The shape of his chin was a little square. He was wearing a tight white robe. His eyes were hooded. His height was around 6 feet (1.83 m). He was Ci An's father and his name was Cu Gil. He was also an elder of the clan."What happened now? You always complain to me about this leader of your class. Don't you have anything else to do?" Cu Gil said."Do you know what he said to me? If you hear it, you will also know why I am angry." Ci An looked at her father and said with clenched teeth."What did he say?" Cu Gil replied casually."He said that he wants a Blue Gem from
The Next Day"So, tell me what happened?" Elder Ren asked Yang Zhai."Elder, according to what Hong Mi told me, it appears that both brother Ming and sister Fu are missing for two days. Even their parents don't know where they went." Yang Zhai said casually. There was not even a single expression on his face. Nobody would be able to tell what Yang Zhai was thinking."Hmm…" Elder Ren narrowed his eyes. It was unknown what he was thinking, but Yang Zhai could tell that Elder Ren was definitely trying to figure out what happened to the two kids who went missing."Something is strange…, two days ago, a loud explosion was also heard from outside the village and both the kids went missing on the same day. Could it be… that the explosion had something to do
Bai Clan had a rule and that was that a family with five cultivators was qualified to be nobles. There were many benefits for a Nobel family. They could also compete for the position of an elder in the clan. Not just that, a noble family would also be given land. They could do anything with this land. Then, these noble families were able to rule the middle and lower classes. But, these noble families would only be given the land by the clan leader. And they could not compete for more benefits like the sects. It was because a situation like this would only make the clan weak by making them compete against each other. Every country and everyone always wanted to be on the top no matter what. It could give rise to even the emergence of traitors. Yang Zhai was from the earth: so he knew these things clearly, the history of the earth was filled with traitors. Especially the people who betrayed their own forces just because of their thirst for power. And the Bai Clan also knew that if the n
"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?!
