It is a world of cultivation, a world where one can achieve enlightenment through the efficient accumulation of essence; this enlightenment can give them both evolution in their senses and an increase in strength; at the pinnacle of it all, cultivators can shatter mountains with a single punch and the breeze from their mouth alone can divide oceans.
This power was supposed to be wielded by Gods and Devils, the two bodies that comprise the world's law, which always oppose each other, the law of evil opposing the law of holiness, and the law of darkness opposing the law of light.
It was a saying that the light always defeated the darkness, but in this world, that logic does not apply because the darkness can defeat the light if they have enough strength, and the light can do the same.
There are beings in this world other than humans who can use this mysterious essence to their advantage and strength increase just like humans.

A body lay in a place filled with the strong iron scent of blood, and it was difficult to tell if he was alive or not due to the large hole in his stomach and the numerous cuts all over his body.
The setting was a forest, and the trees danced as a strong wind blew past them, creating a lovely swirling sound.
At that precise moment, a multicolored vortex appeared above the young man lying on the ground, and out of it floated Roland, who was covered in a light glow, his eyes closed, and he resembled a movie spirit.
For some reason, the young man on the ground and Roland resembled each other, as if they were twins born in different worlds; strange as it was, it was the only explanation one could think of right now.
The spirit body that emerged from the vortex aligned itself on the body on the ground, which was like a permeable body, and Roland's spirit body was like liquid as he was immediately absorbed by the one on the ground.
The vortex vanished instantly, and the body on the ground began to move.
It struggled like someone attempting to flee danger in a dream that appeared to be real.
Strangely, it was murmuring the words "No, can't be" in a low tone. "It's not going to happen."
"No!!" The dead body suddenly rose up after the shout.
Roland's soul, which has now been absorbed into a new body, awoke with a headache and sharp pain all over his body, and his worried eyes crumbled.
"It wasn't a nightmare. It wasn't even a dream." Roland became terrified. He looked down at his hands and noticed the wounds.
When his eyes reached his stomach and saw the massive hole, he nearly passed out from fear.
A wave of electrifying pain struck his body immediately after he saw the injury, his head hurt, and his eyes rolled back.
His brain hurt like it was being crushed.
It ended a few minutes later, and he discovered who he was and what kind of word he was in.
He chose a cultivation world because he thought it was just an ad and who could have thought all those questions were real - He actually reincarnated in a cultivation world.
He could also recall what happened that caused the previous owner of this body to be murdered and dumped in the middle of a random forest.
His real name was Mo Shen, and his father was a demonic cultivator who inherited an emperor legacy that granted him both wealth and power.
Unfortunately for him, other sects were after the inheritance, and they wanted him so badly that they took him away.
Mo Shen grew up with his mother, who was abused and murdered in front of his eyes by some inept young masters.
After witnessing his mother's death at the age of six, he began training hard and did not waste time when it came to meditation.
However, he is unaware that he lacks a cultivation core, which means that all of his time spent mediating was in vain.
He realized this recently in his life, when he was 15, which was two years ago, and he was depressed.
With such abilities, he could not join any sect. His name, Mo Shen, and the identity of his father prompted some sect disciples to seek his head.
And two days ago, he was apprehended and beaten to death.
'How bothersome?' Roland, now known as Mo Shen, felt a splitting headache at that moment and wondered if it was possible to live like this with a hole in the middle of his stomach.
If such a person existed in his previous world, there would be a lot of people dialing 911 because he looked like a zombie from a horror movie.
Strangely enough, his skin was pale green as well; he was a normal human, therefore it was expected that he would rot over time.
He was perplexed as to what he should do, so he began recalling everything he saw in the computer, including the gift.
A mysterious window appeared in mid-air just as he was about to mutter.
[Welcome to the world, Mystical Plane; your gift will be delivered to you right away.]
'Where is the present?' He was a gamer, so the only thing he could think of as a suitable gift for him was health portions on anything that could grant him quick healing.
[Gift has been confirmed]
[The Depraved Demon system has been triggered]
[The system is synchronizing with the host... please be patient]
[Environmental adaptation sequence finished]
[Connection with host established ---> connection established]
[System activation has been completed]
[Online depraved demon system!!]
Mo Shen stared at the system as it activated before his eyes, and he immediately felt some sort of mutual bond with it.This system was similar to those he had seen in VR games, but for some reason it was very different.[You have one unread message]He knew how to run all of this stuff as a gamer, so he first clicked the [X] button at the top left of the window, and he was redirected to the main screen where he could see his stat, which was kind of useless in his feed of view.[Depraved demon system] -Host name: Mo Shen -System level: 0 -Cultivation: None -Martial arts: N/A-Body: 0.3-Vitality: 0.2-Essense: 0.0STR: 0.1 : AGI: 0.1 END: 0.1 : STA: 0.2 [Mail ¹][Inventory⚠︎] He clicked on the mail tab and was redirected to the window displaying his mail, where he saw the notification of the welcome pack's arrival.He noticed three gift boxes appearing a system panel in midair after confirming it. The first one opened, and it was a 7-star pill called the resurrection pill.Aft
It had been four hours since he began making his way out of where he was, and his body was becoming tired with each passing minute, so he began plucking fruits from nearby trees.After he had finished his meal, a system prompt was sent to him.[Vitality increased by 0.1, total vitality is 0] .4]"Hey system, could you please provide me with a map to get out of this place easily?" Mo Shen nodded.[No, you cannot have a map at this time.]The system's response, Mo Shen shook his head, then began walking out of the forest on instinct.He saw a beautiful young lady dressed in a pink gown that reached her knee three hours later.Her hair matched her gown, her movement was graceful as she picked the fruits from the ground, and her curves were good, even better than some celebrities on the planet.He could tell she was beautiful even without seeing her face.Mo Shen decided to approach her; by the way, she appeared to be a local, implying that she knows how to get out of here.If she was onl
They successfully exited the forest, and Li Yun was very kind and friendly, inviting him to her house to rest.He was stranded, broke, and most importantly, weak, so providing him with a place to stay and food to eat was one of the best gifts he could have received.They were greeted warmly when they arrived at her home, where she lived with her parents and siblings.Mo Shen was given new clothes and food, as well as a room in the house to stay in for as long as he pleased.Her parents were kind and easygoing, just like her, but he couldn't say the same for her sibling.A guy her age gave Mo Shen the cold shoulder throughout dinner, and when it was time to sleep, he followed him to his room. "Don't approach my sister or I'll break your leg." Li Yan warmed him with a furious expression on his face, and the strong pressure he emitted was enough to keep him out of his way.Mo Shen shot the door after he left, and his eyes flashed with a sharp glint."I'm too frail to live in this world.
Li Yun sighed in displeasure at her brother and told him to shut up. To Mo Shen's surprise, Li Yan shut his mouth without complaining and threatened Mo Shen by moving his thumb around his neck."What he said is correct, but you don't have to dwell on it too much. I'll give you three chances; if you can land a single punch on me, you win." She spoke in a calm tone."One punch, three chances. You seriously underestimate me." Mo Shen yelled as he charged at her with everything he had.'Landing a punch is simple.' He exclaimed in his heart as his palm shot through the air, aiming for her brow.Nonetheless, just a few inches from her head, her body shifted to the opposite side, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground.The speed with which she evaded that attack still astounds him; just now, he didn't even see her legs move; all he saw after her forehead was grass on the ground."You concentrate too much on your hands; one chance is gone, but you still have two.""Damn, I jus
Mo Shen's room in the Li household.Mo Shen was lying on the bed with a calm expression on his face that quickly changed to one of fear.He began to sweat and his body shivered.Mo Shen could be seen in his dream, in cultivation language known as mental domain, in a large field filled with broken weapons and skeletons.The cloud in this location was dark and foreboding, the wind sounded like the wail of the dead, and the air was dense with a strong stench.Mo Shen felt very scared inside this place; everything was very dark, and the sight of dead bodies was something he feared the most in his life.He was so afraid of dead bodies that he didn't even attend his father's funeral.At this point, he was in the midst of thousands of them, and the only way out was to walk through this path; at the end of this section is a very bright light like that of the sun that shone down on them, and he knew that was the only way out of this damn place.Despite the fact that walking through corpse in t
The book was too powerful for someone like Mo Shen to take, but if he leaves it here, it will remain there for eternity without being touched by anyone, including himself.It's similar to having a dream; the likelihood of having that same dream multiple times in one lifetime is only about 0.005.In the dream world, Mo Shen's hands began to peel off, so he infused more strength into his hand and dragged the book with all his might.After a while, the book began to lift off the ground, and after more than two minutes, he succeeded in raising the book.The book gave off a blinding glow as soon as it was lifted off the ground, and the glow was so strong that it gave off a strong push force.Fortunately, it did not push him back; instead, the book began to merge with his body.His eyes closed in the dream world as the book was swallowed into his body, and his eyes opened in the real world.His body was so weak that he slowly opened his eyes to see the worried expressions on the Li family m
Two weeks have passed since he began training in the demon core evolution technique level one, and after two weeks of cultivating with the scripture, he has made significant improvements, particularly in his perception and strength.He had a routine in which he meditated at night and sparred with Li Yun in the afternoon, which allowed him to balance his body and adapt to close combat as well as magic.Qi essence is the cultivation world's mana; it evolves the body and grants the user the ability to use mysterious techniques.Mo Shen has been able to take the hit of Li Yun's level one strength punch and only take two steps back, but his attack is still a work in progress.Mo Shen and the Li family were enjoying a finely prepared soup outside the house, surrounded by the faint glow of the moon and the songs of birds flying across the sky."You'll be experiencing your first breakthrough in a day or two; I'd advise you to cherish your exercise routine in order to withstand the pain of bre
The elders inside the formation were so terrified that they used the voice transmission orb to contact the sect leader, who is the strongest, and ask him to come help them."Don't be foolish, if it was possible to communicate with others outside, do you think I would be standing here doing nothing?" said Elder Gui, catching a glimpse of the transmission orb."Does.. does that mean!""Yes, no one inside can communicate with anyone outside, and those outside cannot communicate with anyone inside. However, if they have reached the Qi Lord realm, they will have a chance to stop; unfortunately, no one in the entire nation has reached that realm."The elders' faces darkened; no one wanted to lay down their lives for something so stupid."He was praised so much that he returned home with a sealed demon core; now one of us must lay down our lives so that this does not turn chaotic; how useless? It would have been preferable if he hadn't made any moves at all." One of the older people snorted.
