The Sky Continent, Fragrant Leaf City in the territory of the Ling Clan.

"Brothers!"

You can see a 15 year old teenager running screaming.

"Tian'er, what happened? Why is your face swollen? Who hit you?" asked a young man who immediately came over and examined the body of the teenager.

That young man was Ling Han, a genius cultivator from the Ling clan who was also the older cousin of the teenager.

Whereas that teenager was Ling Tian, ​​who was the opposite of his older cousin. Because Ling Tian was such a useless person, they called him "RUBBISH."

Ling Tian was born with sealed Meridians. He has only been able to practice cultivation since he was 10 years old, and when he was 15 his cultivation was only at the third stage of the Bronze Star and could no longer rise.

Whereas other normal children started practicing cultivation from the age of 7, and geniuses would start practicing cultivation from the age of 5.

For normal children who were the same age as Ling Tian, ​​their cultivation was now at the Bronze Star eighth stage. But for those who were born with extremely high talent, their cultivation was now at the Silver Star first stage. Almost double Ling Tian's cultivation level.

The cultivation level in the Sky Continent is divided into 9 levels:

Bronze Star

Silver Star

Gold Star

Diamond star

Earth star

Sky Star

Star King

Star Emperor

Saint star

And for each level it is also divided into 9 stages. However, since the end of the Era of Destruction hundreds of thousands of years ago, there was no longer a single person in the Sky Continent who was capable of becoming a Saint.

"Aaahhh! I was beaten by Jiang Feng and his friends because he saw me walking with Miss Wang while in the market, he said trash like me didn't deserve to be close to Miss Wang," Ling Tian said while grimacing in pain holding his swollen face.

Ling Han who heard it immediately growled, he at least liked it when his younger cousin was called trash. Ling Han rushed to the market to find Jiang Feng.

Arriving at the market, Ling Han saw Jiang Feng and other Jiang clan children walking out of a shop. Ling Han immediately blocked their way.

"Why did you beat my sister? Was it wrong that she became friends with Miss Wang? Now, explain it to me!"

"Ciiihh ... Everyone already knows that I am bound by an arranged marriage with Wang Bing, but your brother actually approached him. I beat him to warn him to stay away from Wang Bing." replied Jiang Feng with a snort.

"Hmmm, Alright! If it's like that, I will also warn all of you not to touch my sister again."

After saying that, without further ado Ling Han immediately lunged at Jiang Feng with his fist. The other Jiang clan children tried to block the punch from Ling Han, but they were all blown away 3 meters away.

The punch containing Silver Star's third stage Qi energy was no match for them. Jiang Feng also tried to dodge Ling Han's punches, but with the speed that Ling Han showed, his efforts were in vain.

Jiang Feng's cultivation was also at the Silver Star level, only that he was one level below Ling Han, namely the Silver Star second stage. The differences at each stage were like heaven and earth, and also depended on each cultivator's skills or fighting techniques.

In an instant, Jiang Feng and all of his followers were lying on the ground battered. The people who saw that incident did not dare to interfere even though their cultivation level might be above Ling Han.

Because they all know that Ling Han is a genius specially developed by the Ling clan. In contrast to Ling Tian, ​​whose life was filled with insults and insults, even in his own clan he was isolated.

After satisfied beating Jiang Feng and all of his followers, Ling Han stepped back to the Ling clan residence. He also went back to check Ling Tian's wounds, and immediately gave him a Healing Pill.

The Ling clan had laid off resources such as pills for Ling Tian. Because, the people in the Ling clan thought that all those resources would only be wasted if given to Ling Tian.

If Ling Tian wanted to meet all of his needs, he would have to find his own resources. Fortunately, there was Ling Han who always set aside a portion of his resources for Ling Tian.

Because his Meridians were sealed, all the efficacy pills used for cultivation were left in his dantian and could no longer flow past his Meridians.

This was what made Ling Tian plan to leave his clan, because he was afraid to interfere with his elder cousin's cultivation if he constantly gave part of the resources to him.

Two days later, Ling Tian had recovered from his wounds. He had already made up his mind to leave his clan. In the morning, Ling Tian said goodbye to his parents and said he would go on an adventure to find his own resources.

His father was named Ling Sheng and his mother was named Ling An. Their family position is only mediocre within the clan. So, even Ling Tian only brought a little of his clothes in a small package and also some provisions for the trip.

With a heavy heart, both parents allowed Ling Tian to go on an adventure. They also advised Ling Tian to be careful on his way.

"Okay, I'll go now. Father and mother also have to be careful and always take care of their health. If Ling Han's sis is looking for me, just say I go out for a walk and enjoy nature," Ling Tian said calmly.

After saying goodbye to his father and mother, Ling Tian immediately ran away from his house. He no longer turned the slightest glance at them, all he did was keep running away from the residence of his clan. Ling Tian was afraid that if he turned around, he would waver his resolve and not leave his clan.

Ling Tian continued running south for 1 hour until finally he was exhausted because the Qi energy in his body had run out. He sat cross-legged on the rock to replenish his depleted Qi energy.

It didn't feel like 2 hours had passed, his Qi energy was also fully charged again. Ling Tian then continued his journey towards the south. The goal is Blue Moon City, because Blue Moon City is also the closest city to the Wangi Leaf City.

And also there are many medical experts and experts concocting pills or often referred to as alchemists. It is possible that in the city there is a Healer or pill that can cure his ailments, so that he can cultivate again.

The trip to Blue Moon City will take 6 months if done on foot, and it will take 3 months if riding a horse.

Five days later ....

When the sun was getting higher, Ling Tian had arrived at a small village with only about 100 people. All the houses in this village are just small huts with thatched roofs and look very simple.

Ling Tian saw a middle aged man standing in front of his hut with his gaze fixed on a rather tall mountain. Ling Tian immediately walked over to him and said, "Excuse me, Uncle. I want to ask, which direction is the fastest way to get to Blue Moon City?"

The middle-aged man turned to stare at Ling Tian for a moment, then said, "I've heard from the merchants who often pass this village, that the closest direction to Blue Moon City is through the mountains over there."

The middle aged man pointed at the mountain he had been looking at earlier.

"They say that walking through the mountain only takes about a month or so to get to Blue Moon City. The mountain is called the Mountain of Death, and no one dares to approach it."

"According to the rumors, there are many evil ghosts that often roam around as well as many high level Spirit Beasts residing in that mountain." The middle-aged man continued.

Ling Tian was in a dilemma when he heard the explanation from the middle-aged man. If he walked through that mountain, Ling Tian would get to Blue Moon City even faster and that would mean risking his life too.

However, if Ling Tian walked through the route that merchants often walked, it would take him a very long time to get to Blue Moon City.

Ling Tian also thought, even if he followed the path of the merchants, but on his way he met bandits, then he would also risk losing his life.

"Hmmm...."

Since the two roads were both at risk of losing his life, Ling Tian decided to walk through the Mountain of Death.

"Thank you Uncle, for explaining everything for me. I will choose to walk through that mountain," said Ling Tian while holding his fist to salute the middle-aged man.

"Very well, since you have made up your mind to choose, I can only say, be careful!"

"Yes, Uncle!"

Ling Tian then walked towards the Mountain of Death.

The sun had already set when Ling Tian reached the foot of the mountain. He planned to spend the night at the place and would continue his journey tomorrow morning.

**

Dantian refers to something in the body where a person's Qi is concentrated (Inner Power). The dantian is 2-3 centimeters below the center

Meridians are a network of vessels or channels in the body through which Qi passes.

Cultivators are Practitioners / Swordsmen who practice mystical martial arts, generally in order to become strong and also to increase their lifespan.

Cultivation is the level of strength or Qi that a practitioner / swordsman has.

The morning sunlight woke Ling Tian who was sleeping on one of the tall tree branches. He didn't dare to sleep on the ground for fear of wild beasts.

From the top of the tree, Ling Tian looked towards the Mountain of Death which was filled with mist. He continued to strengthen his resolve not to hesitate to walk through the Mountain of Death which was full of dangers.

"Fiiiuuuhhh ...."

Taking a deep breath and then releasing it roughly, Ling Tian jumped from the tree and immediately walked into the Mountain of Death. Fresh air seemed to fill his lungs when he entered the mountain.

Ling Tian walked forward while paying attention to his surroundings and remaining alert. The deeper he walked, the trees around him also got bigger and higher.

After walking for 3 hours, Ling Tian felt tired. The temperature inside the mountain also turned colder. He stopped for a moment to recover his physical strength. His energy Qi was still full, because what he was using was purely his body strength.

Ling Tian deliberately did that because

he was afraid to use up his Qi energy. Because later when there is danger, he can quickly escape using the power of Qi energy.

When his body condition had recovered, Ling Tian immediately continued on his way. He kept taking the straight route ahead so as not to get lost.

After a while later, Ling Tian instinctively sensed a danger. His instinct felt that there were countless stares watching him. He was getting ready to activate his Qi energy to escape.

Grrrrr ... Grrrrr

Suddenly from behind the trees, several young Silver Wolves appeared surrounding Ling Tian.

The young Silver Wolf was a level 1 Spirit Beast, whose cultivation was at the fourth stage of the Bronze Star. If the Silver Wolf had matured, his cultivation would be at the sixth stage of the Bronze Star. And when the Silver Wolf had grown old, it would have horns on its head and its cultivation would be at the ninth stage of Bronze Star.

The Spirit Beast's strength also depended on the strength of its bloodline. The higher the level of a Spirit Beast, it meant the higher the strength of the bloodline would be.

Even though the Silver Wolf that was now surrounding Ling Tian was still young, but his ability was already one level above his cultivation. Ling Tian felt that right now he might really lose his life, so he tried never to let his guard down one bit.

The Silver Wolf that was in front of LingTian suddenly jumped up and pounced on him. Ling Tian reflexively avoided the wolf's hold, but his right arm was still injured as a result of being hit by the wolf's claw.

Without paying attention to the wound on his arm, Ling Tian quickly dashed forward using all of his Qi energy. The Silver Wolves also quickly chased after Ling Tian.

Numerous claw wounds had formed on Ling Tian's shoulders and back. His clothes were in tatters, his blood was dripping without stopping. Ling Tian clenched his teeth hard to endure the pain he was feeling, and didn't dare to relax his speed.

After about 30 minutes of running, Ling Tian suddenly stopped his footsteps. In front of him is a waterfall with very steep cliffs. If someone fell, maybe he would die immediately.

Ling Tian is now faced with two choices. The first option jumps into the cliff and immediately dies, or the second option remains and is tormented to death by the wolves.

Grrrrr ... Grrrrr

The growl of the wolves made Ling Tian move automatically to jump into that steep cliff.

“Instead of dying slowly and in torment, it's better to die in an instant,” muttered Ling Tian as he closed his eyes because he didn't dare to see what would make him die.

BYUR

A splatter sound rang out and Ling Tian felt his body sink into the extremely cold water. His eyes spontaneously opened, and he saw himself continue to slide rapidly underwater.

Ling Tian tried to slow down his sinking speed, and it worked. His feet finally touched the bottom slowly, then he wanted to push himself back onto the water. But before Ling Tian did, he saw an extremely bright light right in front of him.

By swimming slowly, Ling Tian approached the source of light. And after getting closer to the light, he was amazed by what he had seen. It turned out to be an underwater cave.

Ling Tian carefully entered the cave. After being in it, he felt even more amazed.

Not a single drop of water entered the cave. And there was a small fire, which had seven different colors, hovering right in the middle of the cave. The light that illuminated the entire cave came from the fire.

With feelings mixed between fear, amazement and surprise, Ling Tian subconsciously forgot all the pain he had suffered as a result of the wounds on his body.

The small fire seemed to wake up from its sleep because it felt Ling Tian's presence.

Ling Tian's face immediately turned pale, when he saw the small flames moving towards him. His body suddenly felt stiff and frozen like a statue. He could only surrender to what would happen next.

After getting close to Ling Tian's body, the small flames stopped for a moment then circled around his entire body.

A few moments later, those little flames had finished surrounding Ling Tian's body. And strangely again, all the wounds on his body healed without leaving the slightest trace.

Ling Tian was suddenly able to move his body again, and he also felt a strange sensation running through each of his pore holes. His body was filled with vitality that he had never felt before.

"Thank you!" said Ling Tian while holding his fist then bowed to salute the small fire that was in front of him.

The small flames moved up and down as if they nodded understanding what Ling Tian was doing. However, suddenly with a speed that could not be seen by the eye, the tiny flames shot directly towards Ling Tian's dantian.

Ling Tian instantly felt his dantian become extremely hot. He reflexively sat cross-legged, then circulated his spiritual awareness to check what had happened to his dantian.

In his spiritual awareness, Ling Tian saw his dantian enlarge. From the size of a grape, now it has become the size of a guava.

The sealed meridians opened immediately. Immense pure energy flowed through his body through his Meridians. The countless pores suddenly opened, as if every cell in his body was starving as they all began to rapidly absorb the pure energy.

BANG

A muffled explosion came from within Ling Tian's body. His cultivation immediately rose to the fourth stage of Bronze Star.

BANG ... BANG

Muffled explosions continued to come from within Ling Tian's body, his cultivation continued to rise without any sign of stopping. Bronze Star fifth stage ... sixth stage ... seventh stage ... eighth stage ... ninth stage ....

BANG BANG BANG

Ling Tian was unable to stop him. Silver Star first stage ... second stage ... third stage ... fourth stage ... fifth stage ... sixth stage ... seventh stage ... eighth stage ... and finally comes to a halt at Silver Star ninth stage .

In just one day his cultivation had risen to 15 levels, which had never happened in the Mortal world nor in the Immortal world.

What is genius? Is that super genius? There is no right word to compare it to other than to call it MONSTER.

His dantian had also grown to the size of a watermelon. The Qi energy within was extremely pure, purer than all existing cultivators.

Before Ling Tian came to his senses, suddenly many images swirled in his mind. All of the pictures are about Heavenly knowledge. Such as martial arts, cultivation techniques, how to concoct pills, how to make formations (Array), how to forge weapons and so on.

From all the knowledge he had, Ling Tian finally knew that the small flames were the highest level flames of all types of flames, which were referred to as DIVINE FIRE.

Divine Fire was created by the Great God (Head of the Gods) from Earth (brown), from Water (blue), from Fire (red), from Wind (white), from Gold (yellow), from Lightning (purple), from Trees World (green). This is where the seven colors contained in the Divine Fire come from.

Divine flames were created millions of years ago to destroy the demons who were treasonous and planning to attack the kingdom of heaven. This is what is called the Era of the Gods.

And because of that, Ling Tian knew that he no longer needed to consolidate his cultivation foundation. Because his cultivation foundation had consolidated automatically whenever his cultivation rose due to Divine Flames.

Ling Tian circulated his spiritual awareness to examine Divine Flames, and it turned out that Divine Flames had fused into his body.

A while later, Ling Tian regained his spiritual consciousness and opened his eyes. He still felt that what he was experiencing right now was like a dream. Raised his arm, and with a command from Ling Tian's mind, he tried to bring out Divine Flames into his palm.

Divine Flames immediately appeared from Ling Tian's palm. Then with another thought command, he tried to re-enter the fire.

Ling Tian kept trying over and over again until he finally got used to the Divine Flames that were in his body. Now he is like a child who is very happy to get a new toy like that.

Ling Tian then paid attention to everything in the cave. He saw that there were two naturally occurring ponds each about 5 meters wide on the left side of the cave.

The pool contains water that is colored like chalk. The pure energy coming out of the pool was immense. Ling Tian also saw some extremely clear ice jade shards on the right side of the cave.

Then he approached the pool to intend to examine it. When Ling Tian arrived in front of the pool, an image in his mind automatically appeared and explained about the water in the pool.

It is 10 thousand year old Stalactite Milk, functions as a bone marrow cleanser, also helps to increase cultivation levels, and many other functions. If used as an additional ingredient in the potion of the pill, the efficacy of the pill will be doubled.

Ling Tian suddenly wanted to cultivate martial arts to strengthen his body, because cultivators who cultivated body techniques were stronger than cultivators who cultivated other techniques.

However, cultivators cultivating body techniques would require as much as twice as much resources as cultivators cultivating other techniques. This is what makes cultivators reluctant to cultivate body techniques.

Ling Tian won't give up just because of resource issues.

He searched the images in his mind and found the highest level of the Immortal technique:

"HEAVENLY DRAGON ENGINEERING."

The Heavenly Dragon God Technique is also divided into seven parts, namely:

Dragon God Body, Dragon God Soul, Dragon God Palm, Dragon God Roar, Dragon God Strike, Dragon God Kick, Dragon God Step.

And the first thing Ling Tian wanted to train was the Dragon God Body technique.

But in order to cultivate that Dragon God Body technique, Ling Tian required enormous resources, about three times that of a cultivator cultivating other techniques.

"Fiiiuuuhhh ...."

Ling Tian could only let out a long sigh when he learned the amount of resources he would need.

Ling Tian took off all his clothes, then walked into the Stalactite Milk pool. He immersed his body and left only his head to be used to breathe oxygen into his lungs.

Then Ling Tian used the Dragon God Body technique to absorb the pure energy from the Stalactite Milk that was in the pool. Profound energy entered his body, flowed through the Meridians and forged all of his bones.

The process of forging all of his bones was very painful. The marrow of the bones is purified, and the bones are also crushed, then reconstructed as before. That process had to repeat 1000 times to reach the Bronze Dragon Bone.

Every day, the bone-hammering process was performed 50 times and each process made Ling Tian scream out in pain. Do not feel the tears flowing to endure the pain that is very very painful.

Twenty days later, at night on the Mountain of Death ....

ROAR

There was the sound of a dragon's roar from the bottom of the waterfall pool which shocked all the inhabitants of the Mount of Death. All of the Spirit Beasts immediately ran off to hide.

Meanwhile in the cave, Ling Tian was still continuously absorbing the energy in the pool.

BANG

A muffled explosion came from within Ling Tian's body. Profound energy swirled around his body, then slowly dissipated.

His cultivation managed to break through to the Gold Star first stage. His dantian was also getting bigger and wider now like a water barrel. The bone-hammering process had reached the Bronze Dragon Bone.

If he was to continue his bone-forging process to the Silver Dragon Bone level, the forging process would go up to 2000 times.

Ling Tian didn't seem to have any signs to stop absorbing the energy in the pool.

The bone-hammering process continued, and the speed of forging was doubled. Every day he had to go through 100 times the very painful forging process.

Another ten days have passed ....

BANG

There was another muffled explosion from within Ling Tian's body. He finally broke through again to the second stage of the Gold Star. His dantian was now two barrels of water and the forging process into the Silver Dragon Bone he had also gone through 1000 times.

There are only 1000 times left until it reaches the total of 2000 times forged, to get to the Silver Dragon Bone

Now the energy in the pool has completely run out and the water has turned black too. Finally Ling Tian stopped his cultivation, then walked out of the pool.

Ling Tian's skin had now turned white like jade, also extremely smooth and soft. His face became very handsome and this is also one of the properties of Stalactite Milk.

Ling Tian turned around to look at the Stalactite Milk pool which was still full of energy, then he shook his head. He was unwilling to spend this very important resource on himself.

Ling Tian will also give a portion to his parents and to Ling Han. Some of it will be sold or exchanged for useful resources for cultivation, because every drop of Stalactite Milk will be very expensive.

Now Ling Tian would continue cultivating the Dragon Soul Technique to strengthen his soul and spiritual power.

Ling Tian then controlled Divine Flames and controlled its hot temperature to the lowest level. After that, he began to slowly forge his soul. The process of forging the soul is even more painful than the process of forging a bone. Ling Tian felt like his life was about to disappear.

Ling Tian's soul-forging process was to roast his own soul. If he raised the heat of the Divine Flames even a little, he might actually die.

Ling Tian determinedly persevered in order to strengthen his soul and spiritual power. Because spiritual strength is needed by cultivators. They will be able to sense from a great distance all objects or living things that emit an aura with this spiritual power.

Time passed, it didn't feel like it had been a month since Ling Tian forged his soul.

Ling Tian finally opened his eyes. His gaze was calmer and deeper. His spiritual power had grown solid. The area within the scope of his spiritual senses had reached 25 km. And also due to cultivating the Dragon Soul Technique, his spiritual power would not be detected by other cultivators.

He got up from his seat, then walked to the right side of the cave and took out a lump of ice jade. Ling Tian will try to make a Space Ring out of this jade.

With Divine Fire's help, the process of refining and refining jade into a ring only takes about 15 minutes. Then he also searched the image of the knowledge of Space Formations in his mind.

After obtaining it, Ling Tian immediately put his spiritual awareness into the ring and would try to engrave a Space Formation on the ring. The process of carving a Formation required extremely high concentration and was extremely tiring, it also required strong spiritual power.

Since this was the first time carving a Formation, Ling Tian could only finish it for 2 hours. The space in the ring is still relatively small because it is only 30 meters wide.

Ling Tian's spiritual strength was still very limited, so he was only able to make a Space Ring that vast. The Space Ring can only be used to store lifeless objects.

Ling Tian took out another lump of jade. He would train to get used to carving Formations.

In the second time, Ling Tian took 1 hour to be able to make a Space Ring. Then he continued with the third try and it took him 30 minutes to complete.

Ling Tian's spiritual strength had been drained away, to the point that he was extremely exhausted after making 3 Space Rings. He then sat in meditation to regain his spiritual strength.

After 1 hour of meditation, Ling Tian's spiritual strength had returned to its peak. He also wears one of the Space Rings and inserts the other two rings into it.

Ling Tian then got up and took the clothes that were in the bundle and put them on. Then he approached the Stalactite Milk pool and put it in his Space Ring.

After everything was finished, Ling Tian immediately rushed out of the cave and swam at top speed over the waterfall pool. Arriving at the top, he then dried his clothes which were soaked with his Qi energy.

What he was going to do now was practice another martial technique of the Heavenly Dragon God Technique.
