*Three Weeks Later*“Yes! Yes!” Mitsubishi yelled as he got on his feet. “Yang Xiao, I’ve reached the peak like you. Huh?” To his surprised Yang Xiao stood at a far end of the cave studying the array. Too focused, he had not heard a word Mitsubishi had said. He muttered some words to himself as he jolts than on a book with an ink brush. Mitsubishi walked up to him. “What are you doing?”“My goodness!” Yang Xiao yelled. “You scared me.”“What are you doing?” Mitsubishi asked again while glancing at the book.“Huh? Oh, I’m studying the array,” Yang Xiao replied.“Why not cultivate and get to…”“With the amount of Qi here I can break through to the Core formation, but it’s not safe here. If I end up attracting others that won’t be good,” Yang Xiao said. “That’s true.”“Besides, with a good material like this my attainment in the dao of arrays will increase by leaps and bounds,” said Yang Xiao with a big smile and great joy in his heart. “I just need to understand it, that’s the hard p
??? - Taeyang, what are you doing?A voice broke the silence that had occupied the little room. Usually, Taeyang would have been glad to hear this voice, if only it wasn’t just his imagination creating a scene.??? - Come on, tell me, what are you doing?His mind rejected reality; therefore, it created a scene that made reality false. By all means necessary, he wanted to live in this falsehood. His back was against the wall, tears rolled down both his cheeks, and weak sobs escaped the gaps in his lips.Taeyang - Su Yan, I’m crying because you are gone.While he stared at the blurry figure in front of him, he whispered and rejected the false scene he had created. He bit hard his lower lip, wrapped his arms around his legs and sobbed. Should there be a chance to take time back, Taeyang will take it, no matter the cost.Su Yan - Do you believe in reincarnation?The voice from before sounded again, this time beside him. He turned his head to find a figure beside him. Unlike his blue eyes
Taeyang felt the tremors the battle made, though he could see nothing. The dust and the aftermath of the battle blocked his sight, normally he should have been affected by the aftermath but deacon Liu managed to protect him.Taeyang - Is this the strength of a Core formation realm master? In awe of what he felt, Taeyang could only gulp and hoped deacon Liu came out victorious. He knew what ending he would have if it happened otherwise, after all he was just at Qi refinement stage. Only a bit better than a mortal man, he was nothing to cultivator masters. Deacon Liu - Do you intend to remain there forever? Taeyang heard deacon Liu voice from amidst the dust. The voice had anger mixed in it, Taeyang didn’t need a second to get up. He struggled to his feet and faced the direction with the least amount of dust. The vibrations made him stumble but he managed to remain on his feet.Deacon Liu - Ragna take the boy and leave. Protect him no matter what. A ferocious roar deafened Taeyang’s
??? - Oh the new guy is awake. Taeyang opened his eyes to a silhouette in front of him. From its tone he could decipher that it belonged to a man. It took a while for Taeyang’s blurry vision to clear up, he finally saw the person before him. A young man with thick black hair, he looked athletic but not muscular. He had a handsome face that possessed brown colored eyes, a small nose and a mark that ran from below his lower lip to the tip of his chin. ??? - How are you feeling? Taeyang frowned but responded anyway. “Fine, sorry who are you? And where am I?” The young man smiled, yet frowned at him. Taeyang could only wonder what made him frown. However, the young man muttered. “No it can’t be, he is only at the eight stage of the Qi formation realm.” Taeyang - Pardon? ??? - Don’t mind me. My name is Yang Li and you are in the Scarlet Wolf base of the Lost world, otherwise known as the land of the forgotten. Taeyang - Lost world? Yang Li - The outside world calls it the foggy so
Taeyang felt a sturdy hand grab his neck from behind. In the next moment his face smashed the ground. The hand raised him up like a little child and its owner walked out of the hut. ??? - You are lucky we are short of workers, I, Wu Chen would have killed you instantly. Taeyang - Allow me to explain…Wu Chen - If you open that mouth of yours, I will kill you. Confused, Taeyang tried to explain but Wu Chen did not let him. Rather Wu Chen flaunted his strength and swung Taeyang’s body about as he walked. Taeyang felt powerless and weak in Wu Chen’s hand.“What realm is he at? Mid-tier, top-tier, peak?” Taeyang thought. He could tell Wu Chen was at the foundation establishment realm but he couldn’t determine what tier he was on. Wu Chen - We are all working hard to get as much resources as we need to survive the western cold wind and you dare to slack off. I would take you to the deep regions and work you to your breaking point.Taeyang - Senior, please listen…Wu Chen - You court de
Taeyang stared back at the creature that had burst out of the ground. Its long, segmented, large body had dozens of legs on both sides. It had a pair of antennas above its eyes and before its mouth it had forcipules. Surprisingly, Taeyang didn’t feel the slightest bit of fear. Taeyang - I never knew a centipede could be a beast. How strong is it? Manager Xi - Are you foolish? We need to run! Taeyang - Why should I run from a worm? No matter how big it is, its still a w… The centipede charged down at them cutting Taeyang’s words. Dust rose high in all directions and Manager Xi was sent flying out of the dust. Luckily, he had moved away before the centipede launched itself at them and was sent flying by the force. He stood up to run but halted when he heard the clanking of metal on a hard surface. Manager Xi - Is he fighting with it? He couldn’t believe Taeyang had decided to fight the centipede. A loud cry startled him, manager Xi didn’t dare remain, he ran as fast as he could. T
“A white ceiling, I guess I died. How unlucky.”After waking up to a white ceiling, Taeyang acknowledged his death. It had been expected, he didn’t possess the strength required to resist. He let out a sigh and closed his eyes. Though he resented his death, he couldn’t blame anyone but his own luck. Taeyang - I wonder how I’ll find Su Yan. Right, I should prepare myself to face her.??? - Who is Su Yan? Taeyang opened his eyes again this time a little girl with long black hair stared down at him. Her voice sounded familiar and her hair fell over her shoulders and unto his face. Like him she had blue colored eyes. Taeyang - Ghostie?He made a guess and the little girl frowned. She seemed displeased at him. However, she forced a smile and said. “Yes but I don’t like that name, call me something else.” Taeyang - Huh? You died too?She laughed at him and shifted away. Taeyang sat up. He found her on her knees beside him. She had a white and black colored dress on. Taeyang agreed in hi
The duo found themselves in a sticky situation. Their way back had a large blockage and their way forward carried a big risk. Taeyang looked at the centipede and then at the family of rats. Yinyue - What do we do?Taeyang heard her whisper, from her tone she didn’t sound worried. As if she didn’t find the situation dangerous in the slightest. He didn’t know if he should consider it a good thing or a bad thing. ‘The centipede is… is blind. Then it’s the one I fought before,’ Taeyang thought. Taeyang - You can sense the presence around you, can you also sense or gauge their strength? Yinyue - Yeah, I can, can’t you?Taeyang - Not really. Yinyue frowned at Taeyang, she found it weird that he couldn’t determine their strength. He scratched his head and gave a her a wry smile.Yinyue - Most of those horned rats are as strong as you. There’s only one as strong as I am. That worm is almost as strong as me, but I think because of an error in its growth or some eternal force it is weaker.
