In country T, in a city called "Jiangxiang", this city is known as the greatest economic city in country T and is one of the most prosperous countries in the Asian region.
And today, there is a celebration of a giant company in "Jiangxiang", which is called "Zhuxing", which was founded by a woman named "Xiaomei", a woman who is known as a woman with a smart mind and is good at doing business in all aspects and in a room.
Sister, why did you do this to me?
My father said that when he died, he wanted us to divide the inheritance in half, so why did you take it all by yourself and not divide it as my father said?
Why do I have to follow the words of the deceased? All this inheritance should be mine and I will live happily with my beloved husband.
She walked to her husband and Zhuge in front of her younger brother. Her younger brother's name is "Thong". He lived a hard life in the countryside with his father, helping each other with everything with difficulty. But when his father died, the death compensation money that his father had invested in various associations had an effect until now when he just died. And a large amount of money was transferred to his sister's account, and "Thong" did not receive even a single thing. And now he is very helpless. At that time, he had a life path that wanted to be a person like other celebrities. In the social world
At this time, he had no choice. If he did not do anything, he would lose everything without getting anything at all. And he would live as a beggar on the street. He made a decisive decision with this evil sister. Even his own father who he loved did not care about him. And "Thong's" father, he loved his father the most in the family. "Xiaomei" did this, it made him so angry that he almost lost his mind.
Even though he was almost crazy with anger, he always kept his wits about him because he had encountered many difficult and unbearable events and he knew that now he had no choice. He chose the most brutal method that he had thought of for a long time, which was to kill these people. He looked at his pants pocket. There was a pen, and that was the pen to sign the license and inheritance of his father. At this time, "Thong" pretended to be completely exhausted and dizzy, and slowly got up. When his sister and husband saw that, they couldn't help but laugh and drink the wine in their hands.
Immediately, "Thong" took this opportunity to use the pen to stab both of their necks quickly and kicked their faces away.
Even though he wasn't a martial arts user, he had been training his body in the countryside regularly, and it made him strong. When the security guards saw that, they couldn't help but call an ambulance and a police car. Many guards shot at "Thong".
However, he jumped off the 3rd floor building. He didn't care how high it was. He jumped out of the window, causing the glass to shatter and splinter, piercing him in his body.
However, he didn't care about the pain and fell into the trash can. Fortunately, he took this opportunity to find a car nearby. He didn't care what kind of car they were driving. He immediately stomped those people out of the car and stole the car to ride back to his countryside.
After 2 hours, he arrived at his countryside home where he lived with his father a long time ago. Now, he was the only one here. He walked slowly, staggering with injuries, and sat in a small hut in front of his house.
He sat in this small hut and the cold wind blew against his face. It blew the hair that covered his face a little, revealing his eyes that were continuously tearing up. He thought about the events he had lived here with his father, causing him to be unable to hold back his tears. He said everything that was on his mind, and he calmed down. He knew that now he had no choice. He was being hunted, and he had killed two of the country's top officials at the same time. He knew his fate very well. He sat here to wait for his fate and closed his eyes calmly... He remained calm like that for 10 minutes. He felt that the atmosphere around him was unusual. "And the feeling of falling through his body felt different. The cold wind slowly disappeared and was replaced by a wind that made him feel an unprecedented calmness. " He slowly opened his eyes and found something that shocked him and was impossible to believe.....
He slowly opened his eyes wide and slowly stood up to look at the place around him or he couldn't believe his eyes. He found that the tent he was sitting in was no longer the tent he knew. It was like some kind of residence like in the fantasy novels he had read. It was made of high-quality and elegant materials. And under such an awkward and strange situation, he slowly regained his senses and thought about how this impossible thing could happen. He was very confused by this event. An ordinary person who lived in the real world suddenly came to an unknown place and it was like being in a novel.
He slowly thought about these things. He had thought about these things before. A long time ago, and he wanted to be in a novel, but that was just a thought. That day, it was not true, but now it was like it would become true. He was confused and he was confused again...
At that moment, an elegant young woman walked towards him without him knowing. Before Thong knew it, the young woman was already standing in front of him.
He was shocked!
In his heart and carefully observed the young woman in front of him. He found that she had a beautiful figure, soft lips, and sparkling eyes, and a naturally slender face. He was quite surprised that such an elegant young woman really existed. If he compared her to the young women in the world he knew, she was nothing compared to the one in front of him.
Before he could say anything, the girl opened her mouth first.
"Before he could say anything, the young woman spoke first"
the young woman said, I have come here to annul our engagement. I was recently invited to become a direct disciple of one of the top sects on the continent. Don't think that I'm being selfish, but you are not worthy of me. I want to nullify our marriage contract, and my family will provide proper compensation to yours.'
"Upon hearing the words from the young woman, he immediately understood the situation. He calmly replied"
I understand. I will inform my father to end our engagement. You may leave now.
"When the young woman heard this, she was somewhat surprised deep down. They had been close friends since childhood, and she knew his personality very well."
However, for some reason, their relationship had become distant. But she didn't think much of it; she simply walked away without any lingering doubts. ( Unbeknownst to them, this entire scene was being secretly observed by someone. )
"When the man watching from the shadows saw this, he immediately remarked, 'It seems it has succeeded.' He then vanished quietly into the darkness. Even the guards stationed at the entrance were unable to detect this mysterious figure."
"After confirming that no one else was around, he immediately realized the situation he was in. It was just like the various novels he had read before. Now, something similar was happening to him, just like in those stories. He tried to recall the memories of this body's previous owner, but there was barely anything of importance—just scenes of indulging in food, drink, and frivolous entertainment, spending money on courtesans. He could honestly say that this weak body was nothing but trash.
However, at the very least, he could still access some fragments of memories, such as the names of people he knew, as well as information about cultivation realms and power levels. He even had a vague sense of some top-secret knowledge, but he wasn't interested in that. He focused on recalling details about the cultivation levels, hoping to understand and quickly begin training, just like the characters in the novels he loved to read.
Despite his efforts to extract memories related to cultivation realms, he only knew the names of the levels and had no idea how to practice them. He thought to himself, 'This guy did nothing useful all day—just played around with women. Truly, a waste of a life.'"
"From the fragments of memories he managed to extract, he only knew about the cultivation levels in this world. The stages are as follows:
1. Qi Control and Body Fusion: The initial stage for beginners, where one learns to control Qi and merge it with their body.
2. Spirit Refinement and Body Unification: At this level, one refines the spirit and fuses it with the body, becoming one with it.
3. Body Cultivation to the Peak: The third stage focuses on training the body to its highest potential, elevating it to become a divine physique.
4. Soul Fusion and Tempering: This stage involves merging and refining the soul to reach its highest form, allowing the cultivator to harness the will of heaven and earth to temper both body and soul during cultivation.
5. Alchemy Refinement: At this level, practitioners must refine various substances. They can create potent pills or even transform rusted iron into new metal as if it were gold. This process also strengthens the body, bones, blood, and flesh.
6. Supernatural Energy Control: This stage involves harnessing natural energy or drawing power from other dimensions to elevate both the body and the soul to new levels.
7. Domain Controller: At this level, the cultivator gains the power to control an entire domain, determining the life and death of beings within it. The practitioner can also create an inner world within their body, increasing their capacity to store energy and other resources.
8. Heavenly Controller: The eighth stage is the realm of those who can fully utilize the will of heaven. They can annihilate all living beings with a single thought and even create new life or death at will.
9. Supreme of Heaven: The final stage, where one can control everything, even overpowering those at the eighth level. Ascending to the ninth level is an insurmountable gap, a difference that cannot be measured. This stage transcends all previous realms and approaches a new, higher dominion."
"Why is the cultivation in this world so peculiar? The process of merging the soul and body seems unusually swift and almost effortless. It appears that the world I have come to is not an ordinary one. I need to visit the family's library and read up on this place. I know very little about this world, and gaining knowledge is crucial. For now, I must act naturally and avoid raising any suspicions.
With that in mind, he quietly left the area and began searching for the library without asking anyone for directions. He knew that if he asked where the library was, it would seem strange since he was supposed to be a member of the family. So, he kept quiet and found his way on his own. Eventually, he arrived at the library successfully."
......
"Finally, I've found the library," he thought. As he walked inside, he was immediately stopped by a guard who said, "Young Master, what brings you here? Aren't you off enjoying the company of women? Why would you come to the library?"
Hearing this, Thong felt a surge of irritation. He was frustrated at having to bear the gossip directed at him due to the actions of the body's previous owner. He retorted, "How dare you meddle in my affairs? Do you even realize that interfering with the family heir's business is asking for trouble? So stop asking questions and let me through. You're just gatekeepers—what right do you have to question me?"
The two guards, taken aback by his response, hesitated and quickly stepped aside. They couldn't help but feel surprised because the Young Master they knew was nothing like this; he was usually loud and boisterous. Moreover, it seemed as though the aura around him had changed from before.
As he entered the library, Thong noticed a group of librarians and the head librarian, known as Elder Cai Mei. Elder Cai Mei was one of the founding members who helped establish this sect from its early days. Upon seeing him, Thong immediately paid his respects. Elder Cai Mei, surprised by this gesture, found it odd that someone who usually wasted his days indulging and squandering money had come to the library and even showed respect. He wondered if the young master was up to some trick but chose not to question it and simply replied, "If you're here to study, then choose your books. You may take only two and must return them within three days."
Thong nodded and replied, "Thank you, Elder Cai Mei."
Thong slowly walked through the vast library, observing the numerous martial techniques on display. He noticed advanced techniques, even some at the sovereign level, but he paid them no mind as he knew they were unsuitable for him at his current stage. As he continued exploring, he eventually made his way to the second floor. There, he was struck by the cluttered state of the area, with books scattered all over.
"Why is the second floor so messy? Who left these books lying around?" he wondered.
Thong picked up a book that had caught his eye and was surprised by what he found. It was a manual for basic cultivation, but not just any basic manual—it was a unique one titled "The Nine Demon Body Tempering Manual." This manual had been lost for a long time, and no one had been able to find it. In truth, it had simply fallen among a pile of neglected books, and no one had bothered to look for it.
Seeing this, Thong couldn't help but smile slyly. He took the manual and began searching for a second book that he wanted to borrow.
Thong wandered around the library, struggling to find a book he believed would be truly beneficial for his cultivation. He walked slowly until he reached the very last row, when suddenly, his heart jolted violently as if it had skipped a beat, nearly causing him to lose his breath for a moment. He quickly shook his head and scanned his surroundings, looking left and right for any abnormalities. In an instant, his eyes landed on a peculiar book. The sight of it made his consciousness tremble intensely.
Thong cautiously approached the book and picked it up slowly. He carefully opened it and began reading the first chapter. It was a description of a sword technique that could sever anything—even the heavens would be like mere paper before it. This technique was named "Heaven-Cleaving Yin-Yang Slash of the 33 Heavens."
Although this sword technique boasted the power to challenge the heavens, it came with immense risks that deterred almost anyone from attempting to master it. Even cultivators at the supreme realm, the Heavenly Controller (Level 8), would hesitate to practice this technique. It was also known by another name: "The Technique of Erasing Existence and Soul." This technique was so dangerous that it could obliterate everything that constituted one's being, including the soul itself. Practicing it would result in complete erasure, making it impossible for one's soul to reincarnate or ever return, effectively wiping out their existence entirely.
Thong couldn't help but exclaim loudly, "Who in the world created such a dangerous technique? They must have been utterly insane for devising something so perilous!"
However, Thong didn't care about the dangers of the technique. He believed that nothing could easily harm him because he was aware of certain modern theories from his previous world that these cultivators in this era had no knowledge of. These theories often suggested that what seemed impossible could, in fact, be made possible. Instead of being fearful, he felt exhilarated at finding a technique so daring that it challenged the heavens. He picked up the book with excitement, made his way down to the first floor, and headed toward the exit.
As Thong approached the door, the librarian, Elder Cai Mei, noticed him carrying the book. He felt a bit surprised, wondering if that particular book even existed in the library, as he had never seen it before. Nonetheless, he didn't pay it much mind and proceeded to register the book for a three-day loan. But Thong, understanding that mastering a heaven-defying technique like this couldn't be accomplished in such a short time, asked, "Elder, may I borrow this book for two months instead?"
Hearing this, Elder Cai Mei responded sternly, "No, you cannot borrow it for two months! If you can't master it, just return it in three days."
Thong then replied coldly, "Elder, I only need more time because the techniques in this book are extremely difficult to practice. It's not that I can't master them; it's that mastering something like this in just three days is impossible. Such training always requires a long period, and besides, this book hasn't been borrowed by anyone before. Don't you think it's fine if I borrow it for just two months? I'll even make a bet: if I fail to master both techniques within two months, I promise I'll never set foot in this library again."
Elder Cai Mei was taken aback by Thong's boldness. He had never expected this foolish young man to challenge him so directly. However, feeling both surprised and irritated by Thong's attitude, he agreed immediately, thinking he was tired of dealing with this kid anyway.
Haha! Finally, I've got both of these books! But training without any support is absolutely impossible. So, I'll have to go find my father and ask him to provide me with some resources—just a little bit will be enough. Though I suspect those old guys will never agree easily. Therefore, I need to train my body a bit first, just in case I need to face off against the children of those cunning old men.
In some scenes like in the novels I've read, when the main character wants resources, the elders usually deny the request and won't allow it. Then, they'll call on their disciples to challenge the head family's child, competing for superiority. I already know all of this from the novels I've read, which gives me a huge advantage in navigating this new world.
After that, he walked back to his room. As he walked, he chuckled along the leaf-strewn path, illuminated by the fading evening sunlight. He moved slowly, indifferent to everything around him.~
........
After returning to his room, he opened the book on body cultivation focused on the Nine Demon Bodies and began absorbing some resources that his servant had prepared. He was refining the first stage of the Demon Body, and he was already close to making some progress. After six hours, he completed the cultivation of the first stage, gaining strength twenty times over. This increase in power was the result of absorbing high-level resources that had been prepared for him, yielding an extremely favorable outcome.
"My strength has now increased significantly, enough to handle any adversaries that come my way," he thought. Afterward, he left his room and headed to the Sect Master's hall to request further training resources. After being granted an audience with the Sect Master, he entered the hall, only to find several elders present, all with disdainful expressions, clearly annoyed by his presence. Suddenly, one of the elders shouted, "You worthless waste! You've brought shame to our sect! As the son of the Sect Leader, you lack diligence, persistence, and discipline in your training. You're the one dragging our sect down and tarnishing its reputation. You deserve to be stripped of your position as the Sect Leader's heir and thrown out!"
When that elder spoke, the other elders wore similar expressions, clearly agreeing with his words. Another elder then spoke up, saying, "I agree with Elder Fang. He is absolutely right. We should expel this useless one from our sect. He is unworthy to be here, even if he is the Sect Leader's son. According to our sect's rules, a disciple must cultivate to at least the second level to meet the minimum standards. Yet he has only just reached the first level with a mere foundation. He should be exiled, sent to manage a remote area within the sect's territory."
After they discussed this for a while, Thong interjected, "Father, I came here to request cultivation resources. May I receive them? I'm on the verge of advancing to the second stage." Upon hearing this, many elders were visibly surprised. However, one elder laughed and sneered, "It's nothing but nonsense, a way to waste resources."
Thong ignored these remarks and waited for the Sect Leader's response. The Sect Leader finally said, "Of course, my son. If you need resources to cultivate, I'll gladly provide them for you." Just then, another elder, Elder Xiao Fei, voiced his opposition, saying, "Sect Leader, you can't do that. It would be a complete waste of the sect's valuable resources. The one who truly deserves them is my disciple, Dongfang Yuliang. He has exceptional skills and martial arts talent, as well as extensive experience from the Beast Mountain. He is worthy of these resources."
Many elders showed their disgust, recognizing Elder Xiao Fei's clear self-interest but unable to argue because there was some truth in his words. At that moment, Dongfang Yuliang entered the hall, pointed his finger at Xaio Tian (In this world thong has name is Xiaotian), and declared, "Then let me challenge you in combat. I will prove myself as the rightful successor of the Sect Leader's position to bring glory to our sect."
Xiao Tian, unfazed, replied dismissively, "I have no time to waste on you. If you want to fight, do it now—I have no interest in speaking with a dog."
---------------
Dongfang Yuliang immediately retorted, "You? Calling me a dog? Have you looked at yourself? You're just someone without a true foundation, barely at the second level of cultivation.
How dare you act so arrogantly! I am in the third realm- you think your measly first-realm strength could possibly match up to mine? You're a fool. Prepare to die!"
Dongfang Yuliang swiftly drew his silver-grade weapon from its sheath and struck down at Thong's.
However, his blade struck nothing. Before he could even register what happened, he felt a powerful force slam into his back, sending him flying over 20 meters. He crashed into a nearby pillar, leaving a deep, hollow indentation in his spine, instantly breaking several vertebrae.
When the dust cleared, Xaio Tian stood calmly in the center of the hall. Dongfang Yuliang hadn't even realized he'd been struck so hard in the back. The elders around were in disbelief; Xiao Tian's speed had far surpassed what was possible in the third realm. It was a feat that defied all logic-a mere first-realm cultivator defeating a third-realm master with a single blow. To them, it was as if the heavens themselves were being challenged. Thong was undoubtedly a prodigy.
With just one punch, Dongfang Yuliang lay incapacitated, utterly humiliated before the assembled elders in the Sect Master's hall. The battle had ended in a single move, and news of this victory would surely spread, bringing Xaio Tian fame. Dongfang Yuliang, on the other hand, would be pitied as the defeated-a third-realm master who couldn't overcome a first-realm opponent despite his superior cultivation, silver- grade weapon, and extensive experience. This event would send shockwaves throughout the entire kingdom and continent.
Although the fight had ended, and Xiao Tian had emerged victorious, he appeared calm. Yet, deep within, he was shaken. Had training only the first stage of the Demon Body really given him enough strength to defeat a third-realm opponent in a single strike? It seemed almost too much to believe. But he brushed these thoughts aside, deciding not to dwell on them.
