Their embrace lasted for hours. Yue slept out after sobbing for a long time in his hug. It was getting close to nightfall outdoors. It was starting to grow dark.
She was still resting in his lap. He was caressing of her hair. He eventually woke her up.
"It's getting late, Yue'er. You should return right now. Uncle and aunt may be concerned."
She rushed here without informing anyone. She was the only one who knew of Bao's reawakening.
"I don't want to be too far away from you. I'll spend the night here. What if you leave me again?" Yue said
He was moved when he heard her say that.
He had no idea how she felt when he was in a coma. For her, It had been three months of separation, yet it seemed like an eternity to him. He searched all ten thousand worlds for her.
For this day, he cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years. He desired to spend this life time with her. He wanted a hundred years of romance with her. He wanted to offer her all of the happiness till the end of her, till his heart no longer felt anything. But little did he know what his fate would bring.
"Yue'er don't make them worried for nothing"
"I am now Perfectly all right. I just need to sleep. I wont leave you again, "He spoke to her. Hearing those comments from him made her feel a little better.
"Avoid excessive movement. You've just recovered consciousness. Your body has yet to adjust to unexpected movements."
She slowly rose to her feet. When it came to him, she was still a worrywart. Before leaving,
She returned her gaze.
"Okay, then I'll come tomorrow. I will notify others of your recuperation and contact me if you are not feeling well." She departed after saying that.
It was late at night. He was the sole occupant of the room. He had no idea what had happened or how he had returned to his original body. When he was in the immortal world, thousands of years should have passed.
But, to his surprise, it had only been three months here. Despite considering several alternatives, he was unable to reach a resolution.
He could only think of two alternatives. The first was that this may be a sealed world, with the passage of time isolated from it. As a result, time moves slowly here.
The second hypothesis was that this planet was lost or abandoned due to dwindling spiritual vitality and the separation of worldly laws.
He wouldn't think that this galaxy was in a separate universe because he could see the same constellation in the vast sky even while he was in the immortal world.
It seemed like waking up from a long, never-ending nightmare, yet he knew everything that transpired in that universe was true.He lived an immortal life in that world for hundreds of thousands of years; he looked for the Milky Way galaxy for thousands of years and was still clueless; now that he is here, he would finally uncover what secrets are concealed in the Milky Way galaxy.
He had no idea what that thing in that star that was brighter than the star itself was, and the galaxy in which his planet is located had suddenly become an unfamiliar and mystery galaxy to him.
He was not impatient.
[Once I regain my strength, I shall find answers to all of my questions.]
For the time being, he needed to gather energy and lay the foundation for his future path.
[The spiritual vitality in this planet is incredibly thin, nearly nonexistent.]
With this much energy and time to devote, it would take him years merely to lay the foundation. He could feel something unusual about his body, but he couldn't sense it deep inside with his present level of awareness.
It was a peaceful night spent alone in a room.He was sitting in a meditative position. He gently began to twirl his hand, forming a yin-yang symbol. In the immortal world, this technique was a well kept family secret of his.
The level of the skill was unclear, but it resembled the laws of devouring, in which a user constructs a diagram in mid-air. It was the most effective means of collecting energy he could currently use without the usage of foreign material.
Despite the fact that this was their secret technique, he and his family members had no idea where it came from. They were simply told that it was handed to their ancestor by someone very powerful and linked to their half-bloodline.
Slowly, energy from his surroundings began to accumulate in his body. He distributed those little energy throughout his whole body. He wanted to reawaken every bodily tissue that had been disorganized as a result of his coma.
After some times, His internal body was in good condition like a healthy person, but he didn't stopped and kept gathering energy.
The cultivation levels are separated into several sections.
Energy refinement,
Foundation establishment, and
core formation are the first three stages.
Every individual who are cultivating the path to immortality or for any other objective must first go through these phases.
They would be unable to face tribulations if their foundation crumbled, and they may perish in the middle.
In the immortal world, if a person cannot construct their foundation before the age of 12, they are considered average and who had no talent in cultivation. Because of his heritage and the situation he was in, Bao was became a genius in the immortal world.
But This world's surroundings lacked energy essence. He is now in his original body, and the environment here is not favorable to cultivation.
But he was once someone who stood above the myriad people looking below all. He had amassed a variety of secret skills and cultivation techniques during the course of his life in that world.
Even in that world, each skill is comparable to a sect's inheritance, but not every cultivation technique was suited for him in his current body, so he picked various sets of skills to compensate for low surrounding energy.
His old acquaintance had left one of the cultivation techniques. It was named "twelve variation of Dragon Gates." Its primary purpose was to increase physical strength and defense. He only has seven variations, Others had gone missing.
Bao learned that method in the immortal world to strengthen his body's durability and combat strength. He and his friend were unable to see its full power of seven varieties since they lacked the blood of a true dragon.
Bao and his old friend had mixed blood in the past, thus they couldn't unleash their full power. Bao worked on dragon gates until he reached the sixth variation. He was able to silence everyone with it alone while still in the lower realm.
It was not intended for humans to practice, but while he is still in the mortal world, this skill might tremendously benefit him, therefore he chooses to practice it.
The first three phases involve little effort; all that is required is user patience and a strong will.
The life gate was the first of the seven gates. It is divided into four phases.
Muscle/scale refinement,
Bone refinement,
Blood refinement, and
Marrow refinement.
It was not intended for humans since their mortal bodies and brains would not be able to take the amount of pain involved, but dragons have a natural physique with high resilience.
However, in compared to mortals, Bao's mind and will were several orders of magnitude greater. He was not afraid of pain or adversity. What he despised the most were those who gave up without even attempting.
He was still gathering energy from his surroundings. It was just after midnight, and the moon was shining brightly. He abruptly opened his eyes and ceased accumulating energy. He got out of bed and stood up. His physique had been entirely revitalized.
He began to move slowly in a certain direction. As he moved ahead, he began to hear cries. At first, it was a single cry, but as he drew closer to that location, more cries began to be heard.
It was a tranquil night, and the moonlight shone brightly. Inside a hospital, in a corridor, a man walked slowly; he was Bao, and after gaining enough energy, he was able to move properly. At midnight, as he was gathering energy, he began to hear cries. So he was curious and went in that way, but as he got closer, he heard more cries. Soon after reaching the source of the cries, which was somewhere near the basement, he was surprised for a moment and displeased with what he saw. There he saw an array, and in the heart of that array was an old porcelain that was gathering surrounding spirit, and because soul and spirit are in some ways connected, surrounding mindless Soul were also being gathered. Souls are separated into several grades, and humans living in this isolated world did not possess the complete mortal soul, thus calling them souls would be improper. It was known as the pre-mortal soul, which is lower to the mortal soul above that was Spiritual sense and Battle soul. Th
He was fatigued after refining energy till 3 a.m. and slept until 8 a.m. after waking up, his body was more lively than before. After half an hour, the door to his room was opened, and two elderly people and a beautiful woman entered; they were Ying Yue and her adoptive parents. Bao greeted them both. And look at Yue; when she arrived in a rush yesterday, she was a little sweaty and her hair was messed up, but seeing her today was like meeting a different person. Her hair was midnight-black that flowed over her shoulders, and she had honey-sweet lips that looked blossom soft. Her bosom was well-shaped for her age, and her eyes were blue, reflecting the deep ocean scenery. Despite the fact that she was dressed formally, She had a sculpted figure, like the last single beam of light from the sunset illuminating the endless ocean's surface. She was a painted masterpiece. Even a fairy from the immortal world couldn't compete with her beauty in Bao's eyes. Her cheeks flushed red after be
After their chats were over, Yue's parents, together with Shu heng, entered the room. Their expression was gloomy, but Bao didn't inquire about the problems. "Once you feel well, visit orphanage once in awhile" shu Heng told bao "We're going now, we have some matters to attend to; if everything is well, you'll be discharged in a week," Chen Luo stated. After saying that Shu heng and Yue's parents had departed, only Yue remained; as the president, her comments had a lot of weight, so she had to stay in hospital to attend meetings and other important things, but she sees Bao regularly in her spare time. During the day, Bao would wander around the hospital, while he appeared to be walking around casually, he was investigating the hospital for more possible arrays, and at night, he would refine the energy in porcelain, this process that took him weeks to complete since the hospital was so large. He discovered further array and energy-storing instruments, as expected, and refined all o
Yue was conversing with Bao when she received a call from the hospital, saying she needed to attend a meeting, so she left Bao to rest at the mansion. It was time for Bao to lay the foundation; he had already refined all of the energy collected by arrays into a pure form the size of a soccer ball, so he went to the back of the mansion and ordered that no one disturb him in his rest! He walked to the sacred fig/Bo tree, sat under it, and began concentrating all of the remaining pure energies into his abdomen. Creating a ball of energy around his abdomen He swirls his hand in a yin-yang pattern. It was that nameless secret skill that began accumulating energy from the environment, primarily from the old tree he was seated beneath. It had amassed a significant amount of spiritual energy throughout its life, But this energy didn't reach his abdomen, where his pure ball of energy resided, instead it surrounded his entire body, leaving thin clouds around his skin. It was planned to open
After old Feng and Lu Mei entered the mansion, Bao meditated for a time under the old tree, and Yue returned from her work later that evening. She was surprised to meet Lu mei and began chatting with her. "Big sister Yue," lu mei said, hugging Yue. "Little Mei, when did you come? Shouldn't you have told me?" Yue asked while patting her on the head gently. "I wanted to surprise big sister yue. That's why I told them not to tell sister " little mei responded Bao went inside the mansion, he knew that meditating under the tree at night was not a smart idea. When lu mei saw him approaching, she grabbed Yue's hands and hid behind her; seeing her terrified, he could only laugh uncomfortably. "Have you two already met, little mei?" Yue asked "Yes," she said softly. "Did you bully little mei?" "No, I think she's just afraid I'll take her big sister for myself," She didn't understand what he meant at first. She blushed red after a split second. They then went to the living room, where h
While talking Bao and Yue stayed on the roof for a while, it was almost spring, when a sharp breeze passed by, they grew cold and went inside the mansion. "How is the discussion with the other party going, Yue'er? Was the orphanage saved?" They had been trying to solve this problem for over a week and had even sought assistance from Lu Feng. "No, it isn't solved yet," Yue said, "but father said it should be resolved in the next two to three days." It was difficult to keep the conversation on track because the other side was backed by someone powerful. "Oh, hold on a second, here's your phone. I've added my contact, as well as my father's, mother's, and our driver's, so you won't have to wait for a taxi next time" After that, they both walked to their rooms, and Bao sat in a meditative posture to check his core formation process, as he had formed a quasi core when he constructed his foundation. Although accumulating energy without needing to meditate sounds great, those in the upp
When Bao and Lu Feng arrived on the second floor, guards stood at the door, asking for membership card. Old Feng showed his cards, and the guards let them in. "are those guards?" "They are not guards; they are only there to verify membership," old Feng explained. "Membership? Didn't you mention that everyone can enter the pagoda?" "Well, that rule only applies to the first floor; above that, you'll need a membership card, which is different depending on how much you spend inside the pagoda," old Feng said. "Oh, how many floors can you can get on with that card?" "Silver, gold, diamond, and platinum membership cards are ranked from lowest to highest. Only the third floor is accessible with my gold card "explained Lu Feng "Has anyone made it to the top floor?" "To go to the fifth floor, you need a platinum card, and those cards are limited in quantity, so only the wealthiest can receive one," old Feng said. They saw a lot of individuals on the second floor, although less than on
When Bao and old Feng returned to the mansion, it was almost evening; old Luo and Sumi were present at the time and returned before them. After that, Bao returned to his room with the items he had purchased, and he pulled out the stone that the elderly man had given him for free. Despite the fact that he claimed the stone was from outer space and that astronomy was used to cover it up. He recognized the stone at first glance; it was a Moon-stone. This type of stone is not unusual in the immortal world and can be mined from any desolate star, but here in this isolated world, its worth was no less than a diamond, and if someone knowledgeable were to discover it, it would be one of the most priceless treasures. Moon-stone is comparable to energy crystals formed by the condensation of spiritual energy, but it differs from energy crystals in that it contains other types of minerals and impurities that energy crystals do not have. If one is skilled at removing impurities, those minerals co
While they were conversing, Bao asked a question that caught Princess Kaguya's attention. "If you existed from long ago, you must have heard of the Aztec organization." Bao asked "I'm aware of them, but are you a member of the Aztec organization?" The princess asked back "No, I don't belong to any organization." "As one would anticipate from someone like you, you will not tolerate another boss," the princess added. The princess was not a mortal or a ghost; she was a unique entity capable of sensing and seeing one's true nature. As a result, she concluded that Bao was someone revered; it wasn't his arrogance or pride. It was Bao's very existence that warranted the utmost respect, that was evident in him. "Have you met the founder of the Aztec organization?" Bao asked "Yes, I've met him before." "What kind of group is the Aztec?" "They are similar to our organization with a certain goal."the princess replied "Do you mean the clear sky pagoda?" "Yes, You must have heard of it b
Bao was alone in the room after the princess and her disciple had left, staring at Yue's sleeping face. "Fate cutting," Bao cautiously lifted his three fingers. Although he couldn't entirely sever her fate with his current strength, he could at least momentarily delay it. If she took the path of immortality, she would truly become someone respected as supreme. But Bao didn't want to see her hand stained with blood. The path to supremacy is a treacherous and long one. With the passage of time and the loss of family and friends, one's feelings will fade. Everything must be abandoned, including family, friends, and feelings. These things will just develop a heart demon and obstruct their progress. Bao didn't want Yue to go through all of that, therefore he intended to save her from such a terrible fate. He wanted her to die naturally rather than endure a long life of suffering. Time passes slowly. In the end, he didn't change her fate; he simply couldn't harm her in any way. He sat ne
___At the center of the room was a giant stone lab, on top of that stone slab was a silver-haired sleeping beauty___ Bao moved closer to the stone slab; he had sensed the jade pendant and Yue's presence before entering this room. "Was she already in this state when she came here?" Bao asked the princess "No, she was fine, she just passed out near the transmission gate, changes occurred after she entered this hallowed area." The princes replied [How could I be so careless, I should've noticed that the jade pendant didn't lose its energy but was absorbed by Yue] The change in her body was most likely caused by the absorption of a large amount of spirit energy when she entered this area, which caused her hair to turn silver white and some minor changes in her inner body. Bao sensed Yue's inner world, and there he saw things he had never seen before: all the absorbed energy was gathering at the center, where a vortex was formed and a core was forming on its own without anyone's inter
The next morning, Bao landed in Japan. Last night, when Bao ordered the flight pilot to change the heading to Japan, other martial artists on the airplane were not pleased with his choice. At first, they vocally argued, but then the old man from the clear sky pagoda convinced them. They were over 35,000 feet, so they didn't fight inside, and they were not in a rush. They still had a month until the opening, so they agreed and headed to Japan. They flew back to their destination after landing BAO in Japan. When Bao arrived in Japan, he covered the entire country with his divine sense. As someone who previously had quasi-immortal soul, he already had a divine sense after breaking through to core-formation stage, tho it was nowhere compare to his peak state. He noticed that there were many martial artists in the country, yet none of them were capable of harming her. with his energy embedded on the runes, He searched for the jade pendant but couldn't find it. as if it vanished from this p
Time flew by, and the seasons changed constantly. Bao was peacefully living the life of a mortal, he would cultivate sometimes or going to a lab to aid others. He would take Yue out on dates on the weekends, Five years have gone. Bao refined the spirit energy in the stone he acquired from the old man over the course of five years. That old man returned for the ceremony and took whatever was remained in the cup. When Bao and Yue went to the orphanage, they had a reunion with other friends who used to be in the same orphanage. Chen Luo celebrated his 60th birthday with his entire family, including Lu Feng and his daughter. old Luo's friends were also invited; it wasn't grand, but the atmosphere was upbeat. Old Luo also announced Bao as his daughter's fiancée to everyone, which old Feng and other family members were not startled by because they previously knew. Old Luo did this to inform other guests. The kellari desert arena's opening was also approaching. One day, Bao received a call
After settling matters regarding the Taoist and his old master, Bao returned to the city. Although he got to know how they trained array techniques, he still was clueless about the old man's master and the kellari desert arena. So after entering the city, he directly went towards the clear sky pagoda. As they were one of the most influential organizations with branches all over the world, in hope of them knowing something about this kellari desert arena Bao went there. Bao went straight to the pagoda from the front entrance, after entering the first floor, he started to climb up towards the second floor. The last time when Bao came here, he was with old Feng, and with old Feng's membership card they were allowed to climb higher floors, but now he was alone without the membership card. He was expecting the guards to stop him and ask for a membership card, but to his surprise, nothing like that happened, he climbed to the second floor without being asked. Other people who saw the beha
The Decem-Milia realm is located beneath the immortal Realm; it is a name that refers to the entire ten thousand lower worlds; each world is a galaxy, and each galaxy has innumerable planets/stars. Dragons were one of the most powerful races in the Decem-Milia realm, above the Demons. Bao was also from the dragon race, but his family bloodline was not pure; they were a hybrid of dragon and an unknown race. As a result, they were not recognized as true dragons and were positioned as a guardian on the North Seaside. The true dragons dwelt beneath the ocean, which served as the dragon race's main foundation, and the ocean was protected from all sides. Bao's Family defended the far north edge of the ocean, which was also the closest to human territory. Although dragons are supposed to be the most powerful race, they do have taboos. They were prohibited from killing members of the same race and from allying with the demon race. Other taboos also existed, but these two were the most impor
___There is always a higher mountain, but no matter how tall the mountain is, it cannot block the sun_____ This phrase was true even for Bao, when he was still in the immortal world, people knew him for being the strongest in the whole immortal world. But Bao clearly understood, he was nowhere near the pinnacle and the immortal realm was only another short step towards that false peak. He didn't know where the path will lead to or when it will end, but he surely knew the path ahead of him would be a thorny one. "old man, now it's time for you to answer my questions" "HOW DID YOU LEARN THESE ARRAY TECHNIQUES? AND ON WHOSE COMMAND YOU PLACED IT UNDER HOSPITAL?" Bao questioned while performing puppet command on the old man "I..was taught array method by master…., it was on master's direction, I placed the array under the hospital" old man answered "WHO IS THAT MASTER? WHERE CAN I MEET HIM?" "master is the one who adopted us and trained us…., I don't know where the master is…." Old m
Bao was calmly meditating under the Bo tree behind the mansion the next morning. The last ceremonial rite took place about three years ago. Yue informed Bao last night that the ceremonial person should arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. He was curious as to how the ceremonial person acquired the array technique and the porcelain capable of storing spirits. While meditating, he received a call from Yue informing him that the ceremonial person had come. Yue's parents had already prepared the essential supplies for the ceremonial procedure a few days before. Then Bao went to the hospital as well. He was eager to see the individual who had come to create an array beneath the hospital. He went to Yue's office after arriving at the hospital. Yue, her parents, and the ceremonial individual were all present. In comparison to what Yue described to Bao, he appeared to be quite youthful. He appeared to be the same age as Bao. He was dressed in a Taoist robe and headgear. He had a Taoist
