As I stood at the edge of my soon to be home , a cold and desolate area where spit would freeze before it reached the ground.
Cold,true. Spit freezing, true but desolate, hardly.
Having journeyed further in to the lands, I found that it wasn't desolate at all.
Brothels ,bars ,villages and cities and what I observed was the callous disregard for life that bordered on be devilment .this place was actually a hundred times worse than the forsaken zone .
In the forsaken zone, there was a clear hierarchy that had been established, though there were killings everyday ,there was a clear limit as few raped and killed in broad day light yet this place had such and more.
Apparently killing someone for walking a funny way was reason enough and if your not careful enough, you'll get yourself gangraped by the freakishly powerful women of the dragon race or eaten by
Other races to improve their bloodlines in hopes of being accepted back by their races.
And that's why a hundred or a thousand disappeared people won't raise an alarm as the population of the area is in billions .
Of course one has to have a good eye and not target an expert taking a stroll which is quite normal here as the grandpa making noodles or grandma preparing spiritual wine might be experts in hiding.
This further complicated things as the rulers of an area change on a regular basis.today's boss is tomorrow's dinner, that saying reigns supreme here.
As one of the most valuable commodities here is dragons blood, I had to hide my identity as one,yet that proved to be the norm as none trusted anyone in this place.
Stories of mother's eating their own children. Thus I got a small cave along the river sticks,well more like the reflection of the river sticks known to drive those with weak souls insane.
Having finished mortal records only to repeat such things was a pain yet having received a greater comprehension from this body.
Apparently my dao was flow from the beginning and this must have been the reason my senses told me not to ascend with that dao ,after a thorough review my dao was weak and flimsy only touching the seven emotions and six desires hence after merging the knowledge I'd acquired so far,allowed me to come up with a better version, one that is ever growing and isn't limited to species, one that will use my experience in that specific realm.
Such as in the mortal realm, all he had to do was live and experience things as a mortal and after reaching a certain understanding of mortals, he will ascend to immortality and the same goes for the immortal stage of his untethered records.
Unbeknownst to Auron,what he had been doing since his time in the lower worlds should have been impossible as creating a new dao requires one to not only have several bouts of enlightenment but also great luck and resources.
