" My liege, the troops are ready for the war tomorrow."A middle aged man whose head was rested on his hand and was sitting on a black throne opened his eyes and looked downwards at the man who was kneeling as he spoke. The man looked around and saw his twenty elite guards in their armor who were standing like statues with their backs against the wall in the room. The man then looked at the kneeling man and spoke, " Alright. You may leave now. Go back home and take a rest with your family. It may be your last."" Thank you my liege." The kneeling man got up and bowed before walking out of the room.The King looked at his twenty elite guards and spoke, " That order was also meant for all of you. You may leave, go and take a rest." The twenty elite guards turned their heads simultaneously towards the king in surprise. One of them spoke, " But my liege, we're –"" It's an order. Go and take a rest before tomorrow." The elite guards looked at each other and then knelt simultaneously,"
KNOCKKNOCK" My Lord, breakfast is ready." " Alright. You may leave."" Thank you my Lord."Jeffrey who was fixing his clothes in front of the mirror paused slightly after the maid left, he turned towards his wife who was sitting while watching him with an absent minded gaze though he could see a trace of sadness in her eyes." Mariam, how do I look?"Mariam looked at Jeffrey with surprise evident in her eyes, she looked at Jeffrey intently and with scrutiny before she spoke, " Are you sure you're my husband. You never ask me those kind of questions since everything you do is 'perfect'." Jeffrey smiled wryly hearing that especially the mocking tone when she said 'perfect'. If he had not read the diary of his younger self, he would never have asked that question. It was only after he read the diary and went down memory lane that he knew how much he had changed.As he was about to speak though, Mariam spoke," The clothes are good but it doesn't matter since you're going to wear an a
" Yo Jeffrey look, we'll soon reach the holy city." A young man who was bald said with excitement. Beside the bald young man was another young man who was wearing an all black robe with a saber by his side.The young man turned towards the bald young man and spoke with a grin, " Yeah Marc, I can see a city in the distance, if it's truly the holy city then we can finally leave this godforsaken place."The excitement and hope was more apparent in Jeffrey's voice as he spoke, he looked at his back and he could see his army numbering close to a thousand which had people he cared for like his friends and wives. They had all shed sweat, blood and tears to reach where they were right now. Just thinking about everything they lost and sacrificed made him shake the more and then he shouted, " A CITY IS BEFORE US, IF THE LEGENDS ARE TRUE THEN THAT SHOULD BE THE HOLY CITY! THAT CITY IS OUR WAY OUT OF THIS SHIT HOLE! WE WILL DEFINITELY LEAVE THIS PLACE!!!"" YEAHHHHH!!!!" A resounding shout fill
As Jeffrey and his army kept on moving towards the holy city which was nearer, an internal conflict was rampaging inside of Jeffrey. The danger he felt from the city was increasing as they kept on moving closer and Sasha and Marc could feel it also. He didn't know what to do, should he just cancel the march and tell his people what he's feeling and hope that they'll listen or at least some would listen to him? Or, Should he just leave and abandon the people who won't believe him so that at least his life and the lives of the people who believed him would be saved? But he was not sure how many lives would be saved if that should happen and how many people would believe him, even his women might not listen to him since the hope to leave the wastelands was right in front of them. The internal conflict kept on going in Jeffrey's mind as they kept on moving closer towards the city but there was a soft and tiny voice telling him that whatever he chose won't matter though he ignored the vo
" Hey Jeffrey, what's up. I want to buy some pills."" Which pill?" " A qi condensation pill."" 1 gold coin." " What the hell man! That's blatant robbery!" " You already know it's a high quality pill instead of the normal low quality ones, so take it or leave it Michael.""… Fine. Give me ten." " Stop grumbling. You already knew it would be this expensive and besides you have money so stop acting like you don't."" Who knows how long my money would last if I keep on buying from you but it's worth it at least. I'm going Jeffrey. See you later."" Later bro." Jeffrey said quietly as he saw his younger brother going away cheerfully, he looked at his small desolate shop in an also desolate surrounding and sighed, something he had done a lot in his life. He then brought out his pouch from his inner robe and put his money inside of it. " At least that should be enough for this month's food." He chuckled with a hint of mockery in his voice. As he spoke those words, he could not help
" Huhh, finally found the cave." A tired voice rang out in a small cave. Jeffrey who spoke, cautiously entered into the cave where he found the ring. When he decided to look for this cave, he thought it would be easy to find the cave but the environment had changed since it had been two years since he found the cave thus he spent an hour looking for the cave. Although he was exhilarated when he found the cave, he wasn't careless to think that the cave would not occupied by beasts so he entered cautiously. " Looks like there's no beast inside though it's surprising that no beast would make this place their home." Jeffrey spoke quietly as he looked around in the small cave. As he was looking around he felt something unusual on the wall of the cave. ' What's this? This part of the wall is soft.'Jeffrey thought as he felt the wall. He had already checked around the cave the last time he was here but he didn't find a new treasure or something related to the ring he found.On his way t
' This is your chance for revenge, just do it, plunder his talent, his meridians and then kill him off. Ever since he was born, he has been enjoying a blissful life unlike you who has only suffered in your entire life. Don't you want to change your life, have you not been envious of his life, plunder everything he has and your life would change for the better. Do it for this is the way of the heavenly plunderer, it doesn't matter whether he's your brother or not, to become strong in this life you cannot be a saint. Love, friendship, brotherhood, relatives, none of that matters. You should know that better than anyone since even your father abandoned you. Plunder and become stronger.'A young man who was wearing an all black robe stood before two bloodied bodies. The two bodies were a male and a female, with the male been a young boy who is not even in his teenage years while the girl was older than the young boy by a large margin and even looked to be a young adult. The two bodies we
RING!RING!HOOF!HOOF!SPLASH!" HERE THEE, HERE THEE. THE GREAT KING, KING BARTHOLOMEW THE FOURTH, HAS ISSUED A SUMMONS. HE HAS HEARD OF THE WOES AND PLIES OF THE SLUM DWELLERS AND HE HAS DECIDED TO GRANT AN OPPORTUNITY TO ALL OF YOU. THOSE BETWEEN AGE FIFTEEN AND TWENTY ARE SUMMONED TO THE PALACE TOMORROW. THOSE OLDER THAN AGE TWENTY WOULD BE SUMMONED ON A LATER DATE!"" HERE THEE, HERE THEE…" A young man who was sitting on the bare floor at the sides of the road with a bowl in front of him looked at the courier who was riding a horse and also ringing a bell. The young man was in tattered clothes and looked like somebody who had not eaten or bathe in days. Beside the young man were five other people, two males and three females. All, were beggars." It seems you young lads are lucky." One of the males spoke, he was an old man who looked to be in his seventies." Who said we're lucky, what if the king is planning on killing us in the palace." A deep voice rang out from another youn
SilenceAn uncomfortable silence occurred in the cave for a few seconds after Neola spoke. Jeffrey and Sasha looked at Neola in doubt and Neola just sat on the ground while looking at them without any change in expression." So let me get this straight. A calamity is going to occur, one that could possibly affect the whole universe and you want me to prevent it?" Jeffrey asked with his hand on his chin as he looked at Neola who just nodded her head in response.Jeffrey chuckled softly as he kept his hand on his chin. He honestly found it very amusing.He was asked to prevent a calamity from happening to the criolet world and possibly the entire universe, wasn't that funny?He was not even sure he would be able to survive his own tribulation and he was asked to prevent a calamity from occurring. He wanted to reject Neola's request but he felt that he should at least listen to her, who knows, maybe the calamity wouldn't be that difficult. " So what is the calamity. Can you elaborate?"
A month after Jeffrey finding out he only had a year left until the first tribulation, Jeffrey sat with his back against the cavern wall as he held the cylindrical container which had the strange substance that was in a never ending cycle of changing from solid to liquid state, while the crystal which disintegrated the Mana in his body and also nullified the Mana in the surroundings was beside him on the floor.Jeffrey did not need to wait for two months for his body to heal which surprised him since he knew how badly injured his body was. Although his body's recovery speed shocked him, he was nonetheless very happy with it since his body did not have the blood of an Immortal snake which granted him absurd recovery speed in his past life. Also Jeffrey already had sessions with Sasha since he could feel Lust's bloodline making him to feel lustful.Despite all of this, Jeffrey was currently in a dilemma. The time Lust told him that the two objects were interesting, he asked her for more
A silence permeated throughout the cave for at least five minutes as Jeffrey was still trying to get his head around the absurdity of Sasha's words.He could not just believe that Sasha randomly entered a dimensional zone and there was an infinity crystal in the dimensional zone, not only that, it was a saber infinity crystal.Something like that had never happened to him in his past life ever since his Fate Broken Physique activated.He could not remember the last time he was lucky, in fact in his past life if he was lucky then it was a deadly trap and he had to avoid that lucky chance no matter what.' Stop thinking too much about it and look at your left arm.'Jeffrey was brought out of his thoughts as he heard Lust's words, he instinctively looked at his left arm and saw something that was not there before.A tattoo of a heptagon but instead of having vertices ( where two lines of a heptagon meet), the heptagon had drawings but Jeffrey could not make out the drawings. The center o
" Ugh… Where am I?" Jeffrey groaned as he held his head in pain and tried to sit up." Jeffrey!"Jeffrey saw Sasha squatting in front of him as he tried to sit up, but he groaned in pain when he tried to sit up," Don't. Your injuries were not light at all, your face and body was badly bruised, you also had a lot of broken bones. The healing elixir I gave you has healed some of your injuries not all of them. You would probably need two months at least to recover fully." Sasha held Jeffrey down, stopping him from getting up.Jeffrey didn't reject her warning and laid on the floor. He looked at his right arm and saw that it was bandaged and even broken but luckily his left arm was not broken. He also knew he had other broken bones and injuries.He sighed because he knew he was extremely lucky that he was alive, if his body was not special and if he had not tempered his body to the transcendent level he would have died no matter what. He was moving at a speed close to 500mph before he fe
Cold sweat dripped down Jeffrey's back as he shivered when he heard that sound.He heard the sound which rang out like a bell chime in his head and also the calm seductive voice which spoke in his head but those sounds did not matter at all compared to enraged roar he heard.' A peak astral beast. I'm so fucking dead.' Vroom!Jeffrey did not waste a single second and moved, at the moment he was cursing himself for not taking more time to enhance the bike so as to make it faster.' Seems like you're quiet unlucky.' A seductive giggle rang out in Jeffrey's head which made Jeffrey remember the word 'run' which she spoke." What's going on Lust?" Jeffrey asked as he sped out of the cave while ignoring the enraged woman who just got out of the soon to be destroyed dimensional zone. He guessed she didn't hear the roar of anger, but was he going to tell her?Of course not.And as for the person who told him to run and giggled, that was Lust. She was currently inside S.E.S.S.It was after th
Jeffrey became rooted on the spot as he looked at the person who just entered. The two unknown objects had piqued his interest so much that his awareness decreased to the point that he didn't hear when this person was at the door." Who are you?" Jeffrey looked at the teenage boy who just spoke, the boy had black hair and had a fairly handsome face, the boy was wearing a red martial art robe and by his waist was a sword." I'm Jeffrey and you are?" Jeffrey said with a small smile while holding the colorless crystal. He spread his spiritual sense to try and peek at the boy's cultivation and his eye twitched slightly when he realized the boy's cultivation base.' Mana Essence Stage. This is going to be troublesome.'Meanwhile the boy became stunned when he saw Jeffrey's smile. He didn't notice before but now that he did, he realized that the person before him was too handsome and due to that, he unconsciously answered." I'm Shawn."But the moment he did, he shook his head and placed h
The smoke from S.E.S.S could make anybody weaker than Jeffrey in terms of will to be induced to any of the seven sins Jeffrey willed. Whether a single sin like the sin of lust or rage, or the seven sins altogether but the cost to use the seven sins would be more.Jeffrey took a puff and blew the invisible smoke out while listening to the three teenagers bickering and laughing among themselves. He took another puff and blew the smoke out once again waiting to hear the words and sounds he wanted to hear and after a minute of waiting, he heard the sound he wanted to hear." Lena and Tash, what are you doing?"" Well you see, we're tired of waiting so we want to have some fun."" Yeah, me thinking about Shawn made me wet and I want to relieve myself so I'll use you."" Wait. Stop… No." The teenage boy took a step back in fear but a few seconds later." Ahn yes. More. Deeper Dixy"" Yes. Harder. Faster Dixy"Jeffrey stood up from his hiding position after hearing their moans and could see
" An astral cultivator's spiritual sense." Jeffrey looked at the empty air in front of him with furrowed brows and then looked at the space ship where he could see the main entrance of the space ship. He sighed and took a deep breath and then breathed out, recollecting himself.Just one more step and he would have entered the range of this unknown spiritual sense. At the moment he was extremely thankful for his Purity Celestial Meridians and Devourer's stomach which made him have a high sensitivity to Mana.Just before he took that step which would have ended his life, he felt the unusual movement of the Mana before him and then stopped. One's spiritual sense was not visible to normal eyes but Jeffrey had two thousand years of experience and was extremely used to spiritual sense, so after stopping he realized it was somebody's spiritual sense and that was not the worst part, he knew it was an Astral cultivator's spiritual sense.How did he know? There was a different type of energy fr
As Jeffrey walked through the 'wall', he found himself in a tunnel large enough for five men to walk through. The tunnel was dark but he could see as clear as day with his Tri-Pupil Eyes.Jeffrey spread his spiritual sense into the tunnel but his spiritual sense could not reach the end. He retracted his spiritual sense since despite him having a stronger spirit than normal, he had not yet reached the right realm where he was meant to unlock it so it took far more spiritual energy to maintain his spiritual sense.Jeffrey walked into the cave while been cautious. His eyes scanned everywhere and every step he was to take, to make sure he didn't fall into a trap. His ears were also on alert to make sure he didn't miss any unusual sound.He was not like some arrogant reincarnators he had encountered in his previous life who disdained everything that was weak because in their past life they were stronger and had seen better.Yes, there are reincarnators in the cultivation world and those th
