Chapter 1. Leaving the Clan

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.
