*Gulp*
"I'm alive?" Lu Wei said to himself in disbelief, after rubbing his neck and slapping his cheeks a few times to make sure he wasn't dreaming and affirming that he was indeed alive, he sat on the spot in a lotus position as his mind became blank
The sky had already darkened a bit at this point before he came back to his senses, his breathing was slowly becoming rough as a wide smile crept its way onto his face, and countless thoughts were flashing through his mind but then a thought came to mind 'was it a one-time thing or I can't just die any more' with no hesitation he formed his hand into a sword shape and stabbed right through his chest straight at his heart and piercing through his back then removed it just as fast as he stabbed his chest
His blood gushed right out of his chest as he spat out a good amount of blood from his mouth 'I don't think I should have done that' he thought as he grimaced in pain but before he could say anything further, he saw his wounds closing instantly and all the pain he just experienced gone like the wind
"I'm freaking immortal" "I'm freaking immortal!!!" he shouted into the air 'no one can kill me now, I can do anything I want and no one would be able to kill me' he thought with his eyes wide open 'wait a moment, who was that bitch that sliced my head for no reason' he finally remembered that briefly after his head got removed from his body, he saw a female figure
'Argh! My memory's all fuzzy I can't remember her face! she's so damn lucky that I ca- scratch that I remember her voice…and I'm going to kill whoever has that voice right after I get stronger' he wanted to continue ranting about himself but quickly realised that he was merely a stage four mortal body realm cultivator and any cultivator at this stage was utterly meaningless to society, after all, that's why he was killed so easily in the first place
Once he realised that fact, he became silent but gained his bearing soon and got up to dust his body of all the accumulated dirt and grime In the course of doing so he noticed that the clothes covering his upper body were all torn and reduced to rags showcasing his tanned skin and his tight looking muscles that looked perfect for his medium frame body shape "My scars are all gone, what the fuck how am I supposed to boast of my glorious feats to my predecessors this immortality is a curse already!" his narcissist comment echoed through the valley as he wailed
He then shook his head and smiled before beginning to pack the items that had been tossed out of his previously dead body in his hands then made his way towards the Cloud Orchid City
Upon getting there the guards stationed at the massive gate that protected the whole city with its walls stretching to untold lengths glanced at him briefly with their aura leaking out that exposed that countless amount of people had died in their hands before, which they soon let him pass through the gate and as for his appearance they paid no heed to it for it was not uncommon for the people that ventured into the valley to come out in a half-dead looking state
Navigating his way through the city into the less populated areas otherwise known as the slums, he entered his small house that stayed at the edge of the wall away from unwanted attention
Immediately, he dropped all the items he was currently holding on the bare floor and rushed out to the back of his house where he kept a small wooden tub always filled with water and washed clean of all the dirt and blood that covered himself
Donning new clothes, he checked himself out on a small piece of a broken mirror and smiled flashing his teeth "As handsome as usual" he said, then ran his hand through his medium-length black hair
After resting up a bit he dropped down to the ground to begin cultivation as there was no use having immortality without the power to prevent others from finding out, he closed his eyes and breathed out slowly and after thirty minutes of this repeated action small white wisps of energy began to bore into him through his nose, he slowly guided the energy around his body to temper it
But of course, doing this came with a huge amount of pain as the price to pay, every cultivator no matter who it was would always feel a large amount of pain when they tried to break through the next stage in this realm and even, he with his immortality was no exception, but his immortality did well to heal him from the pain almost instantly making him go for longer
After six hours of cultivation, he released a puff of black substance from his mouth "I've broken through, thanks to my undying nature I rarely even feel pain while cultivating anymore, this will cover up for my low talent" he muttered to himself
As he had broken through his senses became a lot sharper than before and the movement of his body seemed a lot smoother, he then came out of the house jumping on the ground a few times and cracking his bones a bit 'I don't know why I feel different like a shackle has been removed from my body' he thought to himself
"Lu Wei!" a figure suddenly rushed to him while shouting his name "What do you want now Pan Tao"
"what's that supposed to mean Lu Wei, you left the city three days ago and while you were gone doing what knows what the white tiger sect began their outer disciple acceptance assessment, we are late!" Pan Tao said then dragged him by the hand rushing to the location where the assessment was taking place
"Slow down!!" Lu Wei yelled at him as he continued to run across the streets of the city in full force with his stage 7 mortal body realm cultivation base being put to show
Lu Wei had met him around two months ago when he had just arrived in the city and was still new to things, his village had been destroyed by a beast outbreak with only the lucky ones being able to run into different him being fortunate enough to have away when it had happened, his parents had already died a long time ago so there wasn't anything sentimental for him in the village so it didn't affect him as much
Pan Tao to him was just a passerby in his life and his life and death didn't matter to him at all after all he wasn't planning to attend the same sect especially when he had little chance of entering with his fifth stage cultivation base
"We are here. Hopefully, they haven't finished yet" Pan Tao said while huffing a bit from exhaustion "You do know that I don't care about this right" "Huh?" a look of confusion was plastered on Pan Tao's face
*sigh*
"I'm not joining any sect, so yeah I don't care…see around later" Lu wei said to him with a poker face, meanwhile Pan tao's face kept on twitching in annoyance
"Relax…I'm joining a sect but not the white tiger's sect"
"You scared me there for a second" Breathing a sigh of relief, Pan tao no longer paid attention to him
'Ha! Why would I need to join any sect when I'm immortal' A grin flashed on his face once he thought about that 'I'll just venture into the world and enjoy all there is to enjoy, hehe beauties here I come' Other people around him began to shift away from him as he kept on smiling wildly like a perverted lunatic
"Silence!" a loud voice spread out the arena hushing all those speaking previously and successfully bringing back Lu wei from his imagination.
