'How come a mere Heavenly eye Demi-God dares to offend that person?!'
'Does the Heavenly eye Demi-God have a backer?'
'Why did the Sword Emperor lower himself as to pick a fight against the Heavenly eye Demi-God'
Many Cultivators start to speculate things in a deeper sense.
------
Back on the floating Island, the man suddenly smirked, "I know you, lost kitten."
The spiritual being was frightened, thinking that she can camouflage her whole existence into the law of this realm even if it's the Sword Emperor. Though what gave her confidence was because she knows the current circumstance of the sword Emperor.
She hastily flew away and even burned a little of her life essence in exchange for speed.
"Even if I just started cultivating this body 10,000 years ago, do you think you can escape me?" the man smiled without even looking at the spiritual body.
"I knew that you knew my circumstances because of your beautiful master. It's really a pity, I am planning to f*ck her if only her husband did not plot behind her back. She was such a gorgeous Empress, such a waste not to fuck. " The man was holding his chin and grinning.
"How dare you insult my late master! even if you are the Sword Emperor I will not tolerate you for insulting Her Majesty!" the spiritual body stopped and glowed brightly, clearly agitated.
"Hey hey... it hurts my eyes. no need to overreact." The man said while covering his eyes.
"Your master and I are close friends, no need to be aggressive besides I know that she uses a cultivation that allows her to reincarnate 9 times." The man added.
The spiritual body did not answer and just glowed brightly for a few minutes. Then it slowly became dim.
"I knew even if you are a weak Immortal I can't still win against you with my peak stage of Demi-God Realm." the woman sighed and gave up.
"You are the lost little kitten she found outside the forest she rules. She named you Leyla right? you have been serving her your entire life. Now that she is gone and you don't know where she is, you should serve her daughter who is now my woman, so you naturally also became my servant." The man said with an enticing tone.
"Yes, that is why I abandoned my mission of revenge to serve her royal highness here in the lower realm. But you changed somehow Lord Sword Emperor" Leyla spoke carefully after calming down.
"How so?"
"..."
"Don't mind it and just speak what's on your mind, I won't eat you." The man said after seeing her state.
'I won't yet by the way.' He added in his mind.
"You become more addicted to the pleasure of the physical body," Leyla said carefully.
"hmm?" The man looked at her perplexed.
"I heard rumors that before you vanish you f*ck your female enemies to death... and knowing you lord Sword Emperor, you might do it but you refrain because even you think that it is low" Leyla spoke awkwardly.
"Hahaha!" the man chuckled
"Yes it's true, I f*cked them to death like the Lust Demi-God who wants to absorb my whole cultivation and soul to have a breakthrough. That reminds me that the Demi-Goddess has a disciple. " The man grinned which frightened Leyla thinking of the consequence if she really offended him when she snapped a while ago because he insulted her sacred master, but now that she calmed down, it was really a bad idea to disrespect the Sword Emperor.
"I will find you a body to reside in so you can help your highness, my woman." the man said while grinning
'I am f*cked...' Leyla sighed thinking that her purity will be taken the moment she has a body.
"Hahaha! I won't cross the bottom line of those that are not my enemy if they really don't want" the man chuckled which gave Leyla relief.
"What realm is this Lord Sword Emperor?" Leyla asked after feeling the Qi in the surroundings which was so minuscule for her.
"Lower Mortal Realm, Sphere Ingusse," the man said.
"Did you go here for her Highness?"
"One of the reasons and I have 2 more reasons." the man said as he pulled another talisman before the barrier completely broke right after the bell broke to contain the blue ray of light that the Heavenly Eye Demi-God sent to locate him.
The man took a 1-foot soft silver branch from his storage ring. The silver branch emits a different kind of vitality than any other branch-type treasure.
"Here. It came from one of the Higher Mortal Realms where the ruler set the power structure as a System. I got it 2 thousand years ago before I arrive here in the Lower Mortal Realm" the man threw the branch to Leyla
"Is this a branch from the forest of Dryad?!" Leyla exclaimed in shock as it's her first time seeing a branch from the forest of Dryad. But even without actually seeing one, she once read it on a chronicle and anyone would recognize the energy it emits is the same aura as what the Dryad emits.
"Yes, it is still a wonder how those country toppling maidens did not notice that a piece of their sacred forest is missing. They value the forest more than their race. They will even start a war for a single missing twig and will kill anyone who enters the forest which became the reason why no one outside was able to tell what that forest is as no one lived to tell the tale." the man said while holding his chin, thinking about some shameless things.
"Even Saint will back off from the forest." Leyla nodded her head in approval thinking how powerful and mysterious the Dryads in the forest that houses only maidens.
"Don't think too much about it, just absorb the essence and leave behind the branch, I have some uses for that." The man smiled at her as he took a scroll map from his storage ring and showed it to Leyla.
"To be precise, we are in the Lyaslea Sea Star. It is the third strongest planet here in the Lower Mortal Realm called Sphere Ingusse" the man began to explain the place they are currently residing.
Lyaslea Sea Star is considered the third strongest planet here in Sphere Ingusse. There are many other Lower Mortal Realms other than Star Ingusse.
Some realms are being ruled by a God and they made it their realm. They created and maintained the power structure of their realm.
Unlike the Star Ingusse. The mortal realm that the man went to before where he found the silver branch had both cultivation and technology and their method of leveling was run by a system. Every person in that realm will have a system the moment they are born and with that, they can see their status.
Unlike the Cultivation path in which one cannot alter the law or stop time when they still don't understand the law or have Immortal level cultivation, In that realm, if the system grants the person the power of time then they can naturally stop time even if they are a mortal or even without understanding the law. While this method seems to be unbalanced, it is actually the opposite.
To the ignorant, especially the people of that realm, they will think that it is unbalanced and give mortals so much power without practically doing anything. But to the well-informed, especially the cultivators beyond Immortal Realm think otherwise.
The God ruler of that realm imprisons every person in that realm with the cultivation system that grants every person a system. They may have the power to alter the law of that realm but it cannot alter the law of another realm. It also made every person be stuck in the fixed level that God created which no one can break. The people in that realm are basically playing in the hands of the God who created their system.
Some Gods grants their realm blessings which strengthen the people, some Gods give their people power and turn them into mutants, some give their people knowledge to start a technological civilization, there are naturally some Gods that followed the survival of the fittest, there are many more kinds of method to cultivate that was granted by a God.
Star Ingusse is only focused on cultivation and has no technological civilization. It doesn't restrict the people in it and can naturally ascend to a higher realm as this realm is not being controlled by any God.
Of course, there are naturally some people that already have cultivation granted to them by their ancestors. These people cultivated differently than any people in their realm thus, the other people of their realm called their method 'unorthodox' and it made these people to be discriminated against.

In Lyaslea Sea Star, Cultivating using the qi of the surrounding is the norm.
Lyaslea Sea Star has four continents and 80 percent of the planet was covered by the Sea, it is also twice as big as Jupiter.
There are many legends about the name Lyaslea, some says that it was a man named Lias and a woman named Lea who created the planet, some says that a single person was split into two while they are altering the landscape of the planet, while some say that the planet actually consists of only earth and has four great mountains then a single god in their whim poured a sea in the planet with a wave of thier hand thus the four great mountain became the four great continents.
Lyaslea Sea Star has four great continents namely: Dianthus, Lilium, Agapa, and Ton Listro.
Dianthus Continent is ruled by one empire, the De la Roux royal family. The empire rules 24 kingdoms, 29 countries, 1 village. This village is not some ordinary village as its size is larger than the royal capital of De la Roux. The common people only know that the royal family also rules the village but old powerhouses and hermits know that it is not the case as even the royal family will bow their heads to the village.
Every continent has this one enormous and mysterious village. It was at the very top of the continent and was surrounded by a fog that many suspected was an Immortal formation. Even the peak cultivator of the Lyaslea was afraid of stepping inside the village because there was once a record of when a powerhouse of one of the continents entered the mysterious village and his soul pearl was shattered instantly. After a few more powerhouses died, they decided to leave the village alone and view it as a forbidden area to mortals and it stays like that even after thousands of years.
The village is always protecting the continents from monsters and invaders from other planets. There are also some cases when beautiful women will be seen outside the village and looking down on the entire empire as if supervising. In these times the royal family will bow their heads thanking the beautiful women for the protection they give them.
*******
Badum. badum. badum.
In the Palace of the empire of De la Roux, the emperor Vonne De la Roux was sitting on his throne while holding a white pearl that was beating like an actual heart.
"She is close to maturity... When she is ripe enough, I can finally harvest her. " The emperor grinned with an ecstatic face as he fantasized about the future.
The De la Roux royal family was ruling the Dianthum continent for a few thousand years. The current emperor, Vonne De la Roux however was too greedy for his good, not only did he lusted over those beautiful goddesses from the village, but he also wanted to use the power of the village to slowly rule over the entire planet.
Of course, the emperor is not some dead shit brainless emperor otherwise, he won't qualify to rule an entire continent.
It all begins when the emperor found an infant in a space portal when the empire was raiding a dungeon wanting to expand the empire's resources.
The Emperor himself led the raid. He found an ancient bronze door at the end of the dungeon that has engravings of an unknown ancient language.
When his subordinates opened the door, what they saw was not a way inside but a mixture of the black and dark gray colored portal.
They made many speculations about where it leads.
They blocked the entrance of the dungeon to prevent other cultivators or spies from entering.
After a few years of researching, they found out that it was actually a portal to the higher realm. The day that they discovered that was also the death of many investigating people of the empire because the moment they learn where it leads they abandon everything like a mad man and rush to the portal.
They however could not force their way to the portal and shattered into many pieces. That is also what makes the other cultivators who are regretting that they are not fast enough to thank their mother for letting them be born to be slow. The shattered bodies and the drops of blood woke them up from their delusions like a bucket of cold water. From then on, no one became greedy enough and thought that they could ascend to a higher realm.
Months later, the day that the Emperor was visiting the dungeon where the bronze door was located, the entire dungeon suddenly trembled and the bronze door started to crack while the spinning portal started to spin a thousand times faster.
At that time, the portal suddenly emits a strong barrier that spreads from the portal to a kilometer of its surroundings. Everyone turned into ashes except for the emperor himself, even their souls were burned to ashes.
He survived but his body was melted so badly that only two of his limbs were left, half of his lifespan vanished from him and his crown also turned into ashes.
The crown was one of the two greatest treasures of his royal family other than his life-saving talisman and it was passed down since the first emperor who obtained this treasure inside the storage dimension on a corpse in a tomb that the first emperor raided. At that time the first emperor, Roulf Roux, who was still a tomb raider, built the empire using the treasures that he obtained.
He gritted his teeth and was about to use his life-saving treasure when he realized something.
Emperor Vonne was frightened but his eyes glowed with excitement because he knew that the crown was not just some treasure that can be found in their realm. It was a treasure of a cultivator from the higher realm who died here in the Star Ingusse.
To destroy this treasure. One must possess a similar power. In other words, higher realm cultivators.
He thinks that it was worth it since he was already in a sorry state with half of the lifespan left.
His excitement stems from the possibility of meeting a higher realm cultivator or a treasure that came from a higher realm. Of course, he was still afraid of the possibility of dying if ever the higher realm cultivator or the treasure killed him instantly. But the thought of meeting a higher realm cultivator suppresses his fears. He can curry favor and if lucky also obtain a cultivation method of the higher realm. Or if it is a treasure. Then he will have a great advantage over others.
But the logic was too one-sided. His mind was affected by greed thinking that a higher realm cultivator will not go down here in the shabby realm for sightseeing and must have wanted something here or if possible what will come out is a heaven-defying treasure. With that in mind, he thinks that helping the higher realm cultivator will be a great thing even if the higher realm cultivator asks for every human life, not that he can fight the higher realm cultivator if he opposes but he can guarantee his life because he has another great treasure of his family, a talisman which is his life-saving treasure. To be precise, it is a realm tunneling talisman. With that, he can go to another lower realm to escape. He already has his blood on the talisman and just needs to channel his qi to activate it.
But contrary to his expectation, it's not a cultivator or heaven-defying treasure that came out, instead, it was an infant.
The surrounding was covered by death qi, a qi that can only be found in ancient graveyards and warzones.
The only area that was brimming with potent vitality was the area around the infant. It was as if the death qi was a loyal guard of the infant while the potent vitality was the maid who was holding the child with extreme care.
When he found that the child contains so much Qi that it surpasses the one he felt when he saw the goddesses supervising outside the village. He immediately wants to control or just absorb the infant. He fantasized about himself ruling the entire planet and f*cking the beautiful goddesses. But he still wouldn't do it as it was only a fantasy of his.
He is already a kilometer away from the dungeon and his lifespan was reduced to just 20 years. His only limb left was his right foot as his remaining arm had fallen off.
After drinking all his elixirs, he was only left with 15 years of life.
When the Imperial Palace learned of the news, they put everything on high alert to rescue the emperor. Once the emperor was stable, he ordered his General to see what happened in the cave.
The death qi was still there and the general, whenever coming close to the death qi, felt a fierce gaze that made him frightened to the core, his soul was screaming death to him. The general never told the emperor about that gaze. And instead will be delighted if the emperor would die if he touches the infant.
Only after 3 months did the death qi dispersed on their own and came back to the portal.
Before he obtained the infant, the emperor ordered his loyal shadows to assassinate the General.
When the infant was in the hands of the emperor, he did not feel the fierce gaze.
Someone was looking at him full of ridicule and expectation.
The gaze was then averted to somewhere in the empire
"Finally." A voice that only a certain man can hear resounded in the empire. It was the melodic voice of a woman.
"I know you are here and can see me, now take care of my child, sadistic pervert.'' The voice contains longing and loneliness. The gaze disappeared a minute later after staring in a certain direction.
