It was already nighttime, the moon was fully displayed. The sky was filled with stars. Near the waterfall, yellow lights, the size of the dot, were rising slowly, they covered the whole waterfall. The water of the lake was shining with the light of the moon.
Two people, a man, and a woman were standing near the waterfall, in a garden, watching and appreciating the scene. And the flowers of the garden were flowing with the wind. And the sounds of cicadas were in the air. The scene was extremely beautiful, and it could make one forget about his problems.
"How beautiful, it's really spectacular, I've never seen such a scene before," the woman said, she was dressed in green clothes, her hair extended to her shoulder, the color of her eyes was black, and she had a perfect curvy body. Right now, she was looking extremely beautiful and graceful, just like a fairy.
"Didn't I say that you'll be able to see something even more amazing if you wait until night?" The man standing near her said.
They were Cho Byeol and Yang Zhai.
Right now, Yang Zhai was standing near Cho Byeol. When he turned his head to see Cho Byeol, he was surprised to see Cho Byeol, right now, she looked like a fairy to him. If he hadn't known about her, he might have believed that she was a fairy.
"What are these yellow lights?" Yang Zhai was in a daze when he was suddenly jolted awake by Cho Byeol's voice.
"Oh, they are rank 1 beasts. They are known as Yellow moonlights because they come out in the light of the moon, you can't capture them because they die with a slight touch" Yang Zhai said while looking at the dot-like yellow lights.
He had long wanted to capture some for his cave. But when he tried to capture them, they died with a slight touch. And he discovered to his disappointment that the yellow moonlights required moonlight to continue living.
"Oh, why would someone want to capture them and destroy such remarkable scenery? It must be some kind of psychopath and a fool," Cho Byeol said while looking at Yang Zahi as if she was expecting the same answer from Yang Zhai.
Yang Zhai: "..."
When Yang Zhai heard this, he almost wanted to vomit blood: What the hell.
"Yeah, you're right, that person must be some kind of psychopath," Yang Zhai said, while not looking at Cho Byeol. He was really speechless right now.
"Anyway, forget about that and tell me, should we go back to the cave?" Yang Zhai changed the topic and said,
It was already too late, he wanted to go back as soon as possible. Because it was already time for the rank 5 beast to come out. That was also the reason for him to not come out to see this scene every night.
"Can we stay here for a while more? Who knows if I would be able to see this again," Cho Byeol asked, hoping to stay here for a while more.
"No, it's dangerous to stay here. We need to return back to the cave as soon as possible," Yang Zhai said with a serious expression. He wanted to go back to the cave as soon as possible.
"Please, just a little while more, please, please, please," Cho Byeol said with pleading eyes.
When Yang Zhai saw the look in her eyes, he had a strange expression. In the end, he couldn't help but heave a long sigh and say,
"Alright, we can stay for a little while more,"
"Thank you," Cho Byeol said with a smile on her face. With that said, she turned her head to look at the waterfall.
…..
After two to three hours,
Yang Zhai was sitting near the lake with Cho Byeol. She was already asleep, her face resting on Yang Zhai's shoulder. When Yang Zhai saw her sleeping so peacefully without any worry, he didn't wake her. Right now, he was reminiscing about something before his transmigration into this body
…..
"Hey, Yang Lee, what do you think about these flowers, don't they look good on me?" a girl wearing a red and pink color flower chaplet asked a man sitting near her. Her face was not clearly visible
"Yeah, they look beautiful," the man replied.
"I know they are beautiful, tell me how I'm looking?" The girl wearing the chaplet asked the man
"Didn't I say, they're looking beautiful because you're wearing them," The man answered.
…..
"Why do you need to leave alone? I can come with you as well," a man asked the woman standing in front of her.
"No, you can't, you know that the clan needs you here and the clan master also ordered me to go alone," the girl replied, directly rejecting the man.
"But, if you go, you might not be able to see me again. I'm sure someone is plotting against me" the man said to the girl.
"You're just imagining it, nobody is plotting against you, nothing will happen to you," the girl replied.
"Just because you heard some rumors, you started doubting me and also started to keep your distance from me. Believe me, whatever you heard or saw was not the reality" the man said with a sad expression on his face.
"I didn't believe others, nor do I believe you. Anyway, nothing is going to happen to you. I know our clan very clearly" the girl said with a cold expression. The girl was not as warm and kind to the man like she used to be for some reason. But inside, she still loved him as she used to be. But she didn't believe the man anymore.
"Very well then, you can go alone if you don't want to take me with you, but please don't say that you don't believe me, even if you don't really believe me. My heartaches. So, please stop making me regret what I didn't even do. But remember, no matter what happens to me, don't blame yourself for it. You might not see me again when you return" the man said to the girl. Right now, he was really sad that he may not be able to see the girl again.
"Goodbye and don't worry, nothing is going to happen to you, they are not like you" with that said she turned around and left.
…..
Yang Zhai was still reminiscing when he was disturbed by a sound, he frowned when he heard the sound and woke Cho Byeol up and said,
"Cho Byeol, it's time to wake up, we're in trouble" Yang Zhai's expression was serious.
"What happened?" When Cho Byeol saw Yang Zhai's expression, she asked.
"Look there," Yang Zhai said.
Following Yang Zhai's gaze, Cho Byeol saw two black wolves coming out of the forest, their bodies were slim, and their height was around one meter long. They were both injured, seemingly they were in a fight recently.
"What should we do now?" Cho Byeol asked with a nervous expression
"We can't run because they're green wind wolves, they can run faster than the normal wolves, if we try to run we will just give them a chance to attack us from our backs. We don't have another choice but to fight them. They're both Rank 4 high-level beasts and are injured, we might have a chance to win against them" Yang Zhai said with a serious expression. If he was alone, he might have been able to run.
When Cho Byeol heard Yang Zhai, she became even more nervous. She didn't expect two green wind wolves to appear out of nowhere, and on top of that, they were both Rank four high-level beasts.
"What should I do? if I can help in some way, please tell me. I will do my best," Cho Byeol said.
"No, you shouldn't get involved, or you'll just slow me down. But you can help me distract them from the sides by attacking whenever you have the chance. And huh, guard the flowers as well, don't let their blood spill over them, or it'll delay their growth" Yang Zhai said to Cho Byeol while preparing to attack.
After he said this, he took the initiative to attack. A blue light as narrow as a finger shot out from his hand and attacked the wolf on the right side.
When the wolf saw the attack coming towards itself, it dodged the attack and ran towards Yang Zhai while growling, following that the other wolf also ran towards Yang Zhai. Yang Zhai started running towards the left side. When the wolves saw him running, they followed him and ignored Cho Byeol, to them, Yang Zhai who was Rank 4 mid-stage was more of a threat than Cho Byeol who was just Rank 3 peak stage.
After a while, he suddenly stopped and waited for the wolves to get close to him. He was already a few dozen meters away from Cho Byeol, it was enough to keep her safe.
When the two wolves got close to Yang Zhai and were about to jump towards him, a blinding white light shot out from him, which made the wolves unable to see him for a while. Yang Zhai took the chance and attacked one of the wolves with a sharp knife. The knife pierced the throat of the wolf and blood splattered on his clothes. Even though the knife had already pierced the throat of the wolf, it could still move and attacked Yang Zhai with its claw. Yang Zhai was thrown away a few meters. But fortunately, nothing happened to him, and only got some minor injuries.
His body was a little gray now, this was his defensive method, which saved him earlier.
He attacked and pierced the throat of the wolf again, he wanted to kill the wolf as soon as possible. This time he dodged the wolf's claw. After which, the wolf fell to the ground.
"Yang Zhai, look behind you," While he was looking at the wolf who was already dead, he suddenly heard Cho Byeol and looked behind. What he saw was that the other wolf was already close to him, and he couldn't dodge the attack from this distance.
Last time he only got some minor injuries because the other wolf was already close to death. But if he got attacked this time, that might not be the case. He'll surely be injured this time if the attack landed.
*********
Just as the attack was about to land on Yang Zhai, a red colored light struck the wolf's stomach, the green wind wolf was sent flying by dozens of feet. Yang Zhai took the chance and took a few steps back. It was Cho Byeol."Thanks, if you hadn't helped me at the right time, I would have been severely injured" Yang Zhai hurriedly thanked Cho Byeol, while looking at the wind green wolf on the ground."Ok, but are you alright?" Cho Byeol asked while looking at Yang Zhai worriedly."Don't worry, I am fine," Yang Zhai answered.The green wind wolf struggled to stand up, it was staggering. How could it be possible that it was not going to be severely injured after Cho Byeol's attack? After all, the green wind wolf was already injured, and it wasn't ready for Cho Byeol's attack. Even if it was a rank 4 beast, it still needed to defend itself. Even if Cho Byeol's attack was weak, it was enough for the injured and defenseless wind
After Cho Byeol learned how to capture the pond beasts, they started capturing even more pond beasts. This went on for two to three hours. Every pond had a limited number of beasts. And every fish type beast was different from other fish type beasts."Tell me, how many years has it been since you've been eating them?" Cho Byeol thought of something and asked Yang Zhai."Since the time I arrived at this place," Yang Zhai answered."So, don't you get bored?" Cho Byeol was surprised when she heard what Yang Zhai said. How could someone eat the same thing for so long?"I'm already used to it, and didn't I tell you that every fish tastes different from the other. Some have the taste of fruits, some have the taste of meat while some have different kinds of tastes. That's why I don't mind eating them," Yang Zhai replied.Cho Byeol nodded when she heard this, but she still wasn't convinced, even if they had different tastes, t
It was broad daylight, the sun was high in the sky. There was grassland and a wooden house could be seen in the grassland. And a palace could be seen on the horizon. This grassland and the palace were in the territory of the Zhang Clan. "Mom, do you know what happened today," a young girl, who was covered in dust, around 8 to 9 years old was running towards a woman. The woman was sitting outside a wooden house, the surroundings were plain grasslands. She had straight long black hair extending to her waist, black eyes, she had a slim waist, and was wearing the white Shenyi with beautiful lapis blue color flower patterns on it, looking extremely beautiful. Her appearance was similar to Cho Byeol. When she saw the girl running towards her, she smiled. She stood up and picked the girl up. "What happened?" The woman looked lovingly at the girl and asked. "No, I'm not gonna, first put me on the ground, I'm covered with dust right now, and I don't want mommy to get dirty as well," the gir
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, an
"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
"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?!
