A boy sat with his eyes closed on the top of a mountain in the valley of Green Cloud. The usually quiet valley was buzzing with people. The top sects had already arrived and started camping out in front of the mountain. They didn't know what would happen or when the trial would start. They could only prepare themselves for the trail by staying here.
Li Yang naturally didn't mind all these things, which was why he was exploring his body using his spirit sense. A person without cultivation would not have any spiritual sense, but Li yang, who had cultivated before, did not experience this problem. He could see eight seals placed all around his body. Two in his arms, Two in his legs, One on his forehead, Two seals were placed on his dantian and one was placed in the middle of his chest. He had a wry smile on his face as he observed the seals on his body. Two years ago he had broken through to the initial realm of the emperor.
This information would have frightened all the geniuses on the continent. Even Lu Yan who was considered a genius rarely seen in a hundred years has only broken through to the initial stage of general realm. But he was different. It is impossible to measure his cultivation speed based on the cultivation speed of these geniuses.
There are many secrets in this world that have been hidden for thousands of years. Many clans have never shown their faces for hundreds of years. If the younger generation of those clans moved out with their cultivation, then this continent's geniuses can only fold their tails and run away.
But his body changed two years ago. He lost all his cultivation within a day, and within two days all these seals appeared in his body. When he tried to break through several times, he would bleed all over. As he sent his spirit sense to these seals, he could always feel a sense of divinity. Despite his fears, he was certain that the body would not be able to handle the power that would be released and that it would completely break.
The killing intent that had been accumulated in his body had been completely absorbed by the seals in these two years. He didn't notice it at first, but in the past two years, his physical body has changed completely. It has become powerful and now even a king-grade weapon could not hurt him. He carefully studied the seals and had a basic understanding after all these years. The seals were preparing his body to withstand the enormous amount of power that would break out once it had been unsealed. But for a person who has always been powerful, the feeling of being weak can be unbearable.
When his cultivation was sealed, he was also on the verge of despair. However, once he calmed down, he started looking at this world differently. He found out that his mentality was slowly changing. The problems of other people and the concerns of ordinary people didn't affect him. He felt like a passerby. A stranger to the world. Someone who would be ignored but sees all your actions. The seal was responsible for all this. He was being guided by an unknown force to become strong. To become a stranger. To look at things from afar.
He could feel that the seals were becoming weaker and weaker. There was a small amount of spirit Qi that was leaking from the seals and the amount was increasing day by day. The other thing he noticed was that this spirit Qi was purer than the one he had. It was stronger and fiercer. All his worries disappeared when he saw that and now he has decided to start cultivating again. However, he was surprised to find that his cultivation base gradually increased without the need to cultivate. In the past ten days, his cultivation jumped from the first level of the mortal realm to the ninth realm of the mortal realm. This surprise made him happy because now he was not completely powerless. With his battle experience, he could fight face-to-face with many opponents. Fighting had never been his specialty anyway. Killing is much easier.
He opened his eyes with a satisfied smile on his face but was startled by the very beautiful face in front of him. Lu Yan was staring at him in shock. The guy who was always lazing around was cultivating seriously which shocked her. But now looking at him, she was surprised by the cultivation base of the other party, which surprised her. The ninth level of the mortal realm in ten days. What kind of monster is he?
Lu Yan stared at him curiously making him uncomfortable. He waved his hand and backed away from placing both his hands in front of his chest.
Lu Yan frowned in irritation as he said, "Beautiful lady, don't look at me like that. Though I look handsome, I won't succumb to your evil desires" looking at his serious face and the words he said. This guy dared to joke with her. If it was someone else she would have slashed at him with her sword. But this guy was faster than her sword. She could only suppress her irritation.
"How did you improve your cultivation so fast? Are you a monster who has been cultivating for a thousand years and covering up with a young face to fool the rest of us?" Lu yan backed up with a suspicious look on her face.
Her words left Li Yang speechless. Where does he look like a monster? Look at this master's handsome face. How could you call him a monster?
With a shake of his hands, he dismissed her with the thought that answering her question would only negatively affect his mental health.
Lu yan groaned in frustration and looked away from him to the center of the valley and spoke.
"These days there are a lot of people entering the valley. It is even those evil sects who have come here to receive their inheritance. The three demon clans, The Blood corpse sect, The Dark god sect, and the Beast god sect, also arrived yesterday. There would be a big battle between the upright sects and the evil sects," she said with excitement.
For thousands of years, these two parties have battled each other in the name of justice. Li Yang could only shake his head with a mocking smile.
Lu Yan turned around and seeing his expression she asked him.
"Why are you shaking your head?" You should support the upright sects and fight with us against them. Eliminating the evil sects should be a mission for us. That way the common people can live peacefully." The young lady was brought up by these naïve teachings from a very early age.
He had a mocking smile on his face as he replied to her
"Your thinking is too naive. Do you think these upright sects are virtuous and the evil sects are completely evil?
Lu Yan asked with a confused expression. " Aren't they? They do all these evil things so they can only be called evil sects?"
Li Yang chuckled and looked at all the people camping around the mountain and said in a low voice
"You see them. Despite being upright sects, they don't attack each other in front of inheritance. If they had been upright, wouldn't they attack each other the moment they saw one another? Why don't they? Because now they have only one thing in mind. Inheritance. People are naturally greedy."
Lu yan listened to the boy who was similar to her age speak about greed and human temperament. She felt that her experiences were nothing in front of him. She was like a little girl who had never grown up.
His face became cold when he looked at her.
He slowly spoke
"I have witnessed people kill each other in the name of justice. In reality, they were merely seeking resources. Justice. Don't make me laugh. Several times I have seen a father sell his daughter for cultivation purposes. I have witnessed a father killing his son due to his fear that his son is plotting a rebellion against him. I have heard of a son killing his father so that he could inherit all his wealth. I have seen both the Upright sects as well as these Evil sects doing injustice in the name of justice."
"So for me, the meaning of right and wrong does not exist. The only thing that exists in the world is benefits. People kill for benefits, People love for benefits. People care for each other for their benefit.
That is the law of this world. The truth that everyone covers up, despite the fact that it could not be hidden"
