Shen Yu sat on a thick branch of a tree as he looked at the sun rising from the horizon of the lake. It was a lake he had made while thinking about everything he would need to do this new world.
He had many plans which he made based on his memories of old Shen Yu but most of them were on hold since he didn't know much about the weaker side of Hollow Mountains.
This world was known as Boundless Mainland and was very vast, having many continents and powerful sects. However, this world was far dangerous then the usual Xianxia he was used of.
Here, he not only needed to be careful of human beings but also Spiritual Creatures. They were normal even in normal Xianxia, but in Boundless Mainland, the number was quite high. So much that one could find a Spiritual Creature very easily, they wouldn't even need to go to Forests to hunt or any other place.
The threat these Spiritual Creatures possessed was so much that humans only lived in guarded cities and of course, the sects.
That's why the sects were so important. Without them, the world would have crumbled and fallen to the Spiritual Creatures. Only the mighty Cultivators of these sects were the reason humans were still fighting against the Spiritual Creatures.
In the land of pure chaos where one could encounter a deadly Spiritual Creature randomly, there were Death Zones. These Death Zones were too dangerous for anyone to travel.
Only a few top Sects had the means to cross it. And even that because they had powerful practitioner at the top, ruling their sects. However, even the top sects wouldn't dare to explore the Horrifying Hollow Mountains. They were considered to be in the Death Zone for a reason.
But passing it was relatively easier so the top sects had explored the world before the Hollow Mountains. They were excited, hoping they would find a way to ascend to higher realms but what they found was nothing but a small land with weak Cultivators.
The top sects lost their interest in the World beyond Hollow Mountains but still kept their presence there, ruling over the little land and fighting over it. It was because this weak place produced geniuses sometimes and the sects wanted them.
Shen Yu had seen some of these geniuses himself and knew they were good with good foundation.
Unfortunately, he himself had never gone to the World beyond Hollow Mountains so he had little information about it. More so because he had no interest in that little place.
'Agh! Man, you should have studied about things here.'
Shen Yu shook his head, and stood up. He then silently stood on the branch of the tree and looked at Sunrise while thinking of other important matters.
'She is my wife, right? Damn! I still can't believe I actually have a loving wife. Hehe, it feels like those scenarios I cooked up while reading the novel. Thanks a lot, Author. I'll remember this.'
Shen Yu rubbed his chin and wondered about his life from now on. It would definitely change and he needed to change as well. Rick Conway was dumb and immature, in a way. He could survive like a cockroach but would never be able to have a good relationship because he never knew one.
That's why he needed to adapt to the situation. He wasn't alone anymore and Ying Yue, that poor girl was his responsibility. And as the sect grows, he would have ever more responsibilities.
He needed to be mature.
'Right! I'll say I'll become mature and I'll become. Wait! I actually will, never mind. I'll learn myself.'
Shen Yu shook his head again and jumped from the tree. He gave a last glance to the lake he made, the soft grass and flowers that grew around it giving it a serene and Tranquil feeling. He really liked this spot,
'Well, let's meet up with Yue and register the sect. I'll also have to train her in fights and other things. She will be the pride of my sect.'
As those thoughts passed through his mind, he vanished from the spot, leaving nothing but tranquility behind...which was soon broken because the surface of water rippled as if a massive shape was rising in the water.
The land trembled slightly as the plants on the sides bowed with their top towards the lake. It was a bizzare scene.
Soon, two deep blue eyes shined through the surface of water, looking directly at where Shen Yu stood a few minutes ago. The eyes of the strange creature held pure reverence and respect. The creature continued to stare for a few seconds, then dove back in the lake. The plants and flowers returned to normal, making the lake a serene lake again.
Shen Yu, who was oblivious to the nature of Lake he had randomly made, appeared in front of the Disciples Quarters and stopped.
'She is my wife so I can directly go in?'
After some thoughts, he shrugged and entered the room which was empty. He titled head to the sides in confusion and then closed his eyes, searching for Ying Yue. It wasn't hard to find her since she was in the sect.
"Oh! She's coming here."
Shen Yu muttered and left the room. He waited for a few seconds and soon, a lady in black robes with red linings came walking towards her. Her feet touched the floor but they never made any sounds as if she was walking on air. Her shadow was behaving a little strangly compared to other shadows.
Ying Yue stopped in front of Shen Yu and smiled, her golden orbes in her eyes turning a little darker but still showing the pure love she felt for him.
"Hmm, so you already started practicing the Cultivation Manual?" Shen Yu asked, guessing the reason for her change.
"Yes, Master. The Cultivation Manual was perfect for me and I actually almost mastered the first stage but I stopped because we needed to go to the Green Silk Town," Ying Yue said, still having a pleasant mood.
