Let's talk about Mu Tian. After getting scolded after by the Elder Gu he came to his room but couldn't practice. The scenes of him getting scolded came floating in his mind whenever he started practice. Anger started accumulating in him. He also knew that if he continued his cultivation then he might get backlash from it rather than any progress. So he decided to train in the Blackrock mountains to hone his mind and also started hunting magical beasts.
Within these 7 days, Mu Tian broke through 8th realm of body training realm and his tiger fist also achieved Perfection mastery.
On the other hand, Mu Chen with the help of system's guidance came near a cave . The cave was surrounded by mountains on 3 sides and only had 1 way to reach the cave. When he came near the cave, he saw that there was a giant black python about 10 metres long and 2 metres thick. Mu Chen opened his life script and found that it was at the peak of 2nd order and was not far away from entering 3rd order.
" From the life script of Mu Tian, this black python was injured with its strength reduced to mere 9th realm of body training realm but right now it's not injured which means that someone would attack him in the next few hours." Mu Chen mumbled to himself.
He hid himself in the trees and waited for few hours before the fight started.
After few hours, a fragrant spread throughout the forest. It was the fragrance of 1000 years old red ginseng. Earlier it was 999 years old but today it was about to mature to 1000 years age, which cause the fragrance to spread in the nearby areas.
Medicine materials after certain age mature like 10 years, 100 years, 1000 years etc. The more mature a herb is, the more potent it's medicinal properties.
The black python also became aware of this and was on his guard. He knew that many beasts will come here for the herb. He became alert and saw some low level cultivation beast coming towards it and moved his gaze towards them full of anger. His gaze saying that if they dared to take one more step towards him, he will kill them all. All beasts shuddered in fear but still attacked him with numbers to their advantage but still couldn't kill black python and take the medicine instead they were all killed by black python.
Even though they all died, they also did considerable damage to black python and his qi reserve also decreased a lot. When black python thought it was over, suddenly a shadow panther sneak attacked him.
Black python never expected that there was someone hiding there. Due to fatigue of the previous battles, he let his guard down and was seriously injured by the blow of shadow panther. He was furious being sneak attacked which caused him to lose his temper and started violently attacking shadow panther. Shadow panther had the property of shadow and was swift in his attacks and evaded black python's attacks but still there was a difference in cultivation base so after half an hour, at last it was bitten off by black python in half but he almost killed black python.
Mu Chen stood at a tree far away from the cave in fear that black python or other beasts would sense his presence and attack him so he tried to suppress his cultivation as much as possible. He saw the whole battle and was amazed by black python's strength.
" Now the black python is almost at it's end and I just need to attack him at it's weak point with my full strength."
Black python looked around to see if there was anyone and saw that there was no one and was about to go back to its cave to recuperate for a few days to heal his injuries and then absorb the 1000 year old red ginseng, but saw that a figure came running towards him with a sword in his hand shouting " burning sword slash."
Black python was very weak at this point with almost zero Qi reserve and was again sneak attacked at it's weak spot, so he reacted but still couldn't evade Mu Chen's attack. And after the attack hit his weak spot where his injuries were most, they became more serious and black python fell onto ground. Mu Chen stood afar for a while in fear that black python was just trying to let him put his guard down. But this time, Black python was truly dead. Mu Chen saw no movement and came near the python and stabbed him again just to make sure he was dead.
Seeing the black python dead, he became ectastic and a smile bloomed on his face which looked quite evil.
"The black python is dead and the 1000 year old ginseng is almost matured. I have to absorb it quickly as Mu Tian will also come sooner or later. I can't say with confidence that Mu Tian can be defeated by me afterall he is the son of heaven. If he could be easily killed then there would be no problem but how could this happen, so I better hurry."
Saying this, Mu Chen came near the black python and took his poison sac and his core in his bag.
Black python's poison sac and core could be sold for a good price. Mu Chen then entered the cave. The cave was quite big and there were many bones scattered around. These bones were of monsters and also some humans who in the past entered the cave and became the food of black python.
He looked around and went in the direction from where the fragrance was coming.
After walking for some time, he saw that there was a red color herb which was present in a corner. It was the red ginseng that had matured and achieved 1000 years age.
Mu Chen came near it and pulled out the red ginseng and the fragrance of it made Mu Chen feel that something in his body loosened. He then quickly sat down in Lotus position and ate the red ginseng in one gulp. Suddenly, he felt huge amount of energy entering his body and didn't dare to neglect and started absorbing the red ginseng.
Let's talk about Mu Tian, Mu Tian was fighting a earth demon ape which was the peak of 1st order realm i.e. 9th level of body training realm. The earth demon ape has a quite sturdy body which helped it in defence and long and sharp claws which was used to attack. It could be said that earth demon ape had both strong offence and defence helping in cross realm fight and thus it was could be considered as a strong opponent for Mu Tian who was at the 8th level of body training realm.
Both started fighting and earth demon ape used his long claws to attack Mu Tian meanwhile Mu Tian used his Tiger fist trying to break the defence of Earth demon ape. After fighting for hundreds of rounds, both separted. Mu Tian had some deep wound on his left side of chest and right hand meanwhile the condition of Earth demon ape was also not good. Tiger fist of Mu Tian had broken several ribs of the ape and he was also bleeding quite a lot. Due to his wounds, the ape started fighting sluggishly and Mu Tian took the opportunity and came behind the earth demon ape quickly and punched him at his back. The ape flew a few meters away. After the dust settled down, the fallen earth demon ape was shown and Mu Tian was standing there. Mu Tian killed the Earth demon ape but also quite injured.
Suddenly, a fragrance came into his nose which made his spirit up.
" Something is about to mature. I think many beasts will come there and start fighting for it. I have to quickly heal my injuries and grab it. Maybe I can also enter Qi Condensation realm with the help of this herb."
Saying this, Mu Tian quickly put pills in his mouth and started healing himself.
On the other side, time passed and it had been 12 hours since Mu Chen started absorbing the red ginseng.
In the cave, the energy in Mu Chen's body reached a limit and then
"Boom"
With a loud sound as if something was broken, Mu Chen's cultivation base started increasing rapidly
Early 8th realm of body training realm
Middle 8th level of body training realm
.
.
.
Peak of 9th level of body training realm
It was still far from over. Mu Chen was just a step away from entering the Qi Condensation realm. If it was in the past, even with this red ginseng Mu Chen wouldn't be able to easily enter the Qi Condensation realm as his talent and qualifications were too low to make him breakthrough the Qi Condensation realm but after absorbing 6th level Marrow cleansing liquid, he didn't feel any difficulties and after some time
"Condense"
With a loud shout, all the energy in Mu Chen moved towards his dantian and started condensing.
"Boom"
Early 1st level of Qi Condensation realm
Middle 1st level of Qi Condensation realm
After entering the Qi Condensation realm Mu Chen's cultivation didn't stop until it reached the middle 1st level of Qi Condensation realm. Mu Chen opened his eyes and walked towards a stone and punched it without using any martial arts.
The stone was broken into many pieces.
Mu Chen was excited with his breakthrough and felt a little sense of security and laughed very loud.
"Hahahahaha"
After coming to this world which was completely new and unknown to him, he always felt a strong snese of threat and felt the urge to become strong faster so that he could protect himself from the dangers. Now after entering Qi Condensation realm he was one step closer towards his goal of being strongest in the whole world. It might sound idiotic that after entering another small realm he laughed so much and thought about his goal to become strongest but you should know that to become strong, there is no shortcut. Everyone has to walk step by step towards their goal and each step only brings you closer to next difficulty along with new strength and that's how the strongest are made.
People are not born strong but they are made strong.
After laughing for a few seconds, Mu Chen stopped and looked around. There was nothing here. He stabilized his cultivation for 2 hours and then left the cave and came outside.
When Mu Chen came outside, he saw a familiar figure looking at him with hatred in his eyes. Seeing him, Mu Chen gave a friendly smile which not quite friendly.
