Chapter 3 - Dao of Seven Rivers Technique

The bleeding sky's aura caused the air to rotate that the four men could not escape. Mu Shen slowly stepped forward. He was the only one who could walk under the power of the bleeding sky unhindered. Earlier, he had only wanted to plunder the Cosmic ring that belonged to Dou Sheng. But now, he was taking all of their cosmic rings and a drop of their blood. 

"Just hand it over." Mu Shen's tone was calm and commanding. Dou Sheng wanted to fight back, but just the pressure from the bleeding sky dissuaded him from doing so. 

"Let's give it!" Bai Wangyuan said bitterly. If they had known, they should not have targeted him. 

Bai Wangyuan handed his cosmic ring with a drop of his blood on it. In this world, cosmic rings can only be accessed by the owner's drop of blood. 

Tai Chu did the same while Wang Chung hesitated. 

"There's an ancient jade taliman in there. It's from my Wang family. If you take it, they'd hunt you down." Wang Chung threatened and Mu Shen's eyes turned cold. 

"Let them come!" Mu Shen was straight and Wang Chung sneered. "You're just still a young and petty cultivator with a low domain realm. What can you do?" Wang Chung opened his cosmic ring and handed it over. 

It was now left with Dou Sheng to hand down his own ring. This particular cosmic ring contained star crystals and it was difficult to part ways with it. 

"Let's make a trade!" 

Mu Shen was surprised and he smiled; "Let's hear it."

"I'll take you to the Tower of Fifth and you'll not snatch my cosmic ring." 

Mu Shen did not promise not to snatch the cosmic ring and he asked; "what happens at the Tower of fifth?"

Dou Sheng sighed. "There's a trial, the top ten gets to attend the Astral combat Academy which existed in the boundless!" 

Mu Shen's curiosity was pigued. "Hmm, this is interesting keep going."

"The contest at the Tower of fifth does not just make you Astral combat Academy, worthy, it also gives cultivators lee way towards improving their combat strength and locating ancient techniques." 

Mu Shen's eyes glimmered. Ancient techniques were very different from battle techniques. These ones can do more than what a battle technique is supposed to do. 

Mu Shen's eyes glimmered intensely and he said; "you can't buy this cosmic ring with just a petty information." The bleeding sky suddenly twisted threateningly that Dou Sheng's face paled. 

"But you promised!" 

"Do not trust cultivation, especially ones that haven't promised with their hearts." 

Dou Sheng's face lost color and he had no choice but to hand over the cosmic ring with a drop of his blood. Mu Shen immediately left the market place and met with Li Cheng. 

"Have you heard of the Tower of fifth?" 

Li Cheng's eyes lit up. "I was about telling you about it. We need to be one of the first ten that would be taken to the Astral combat Academy. If we enter that part of the world, our horizons might broaden and our futures would be bright." 

"Yes, I got this information from one of my victim. Is there anything like an Ancient technique at the Tower of fifth?" 

Li Cheng was excited. "Yes, I heard that Legendary Heavenly skywheel technique is there. That technique can improve our strength dramatically." 

Mu Shen's eyes flashed. 

"I fished a lot of resources from my raid. Actually it's just four noobs. They tried to rob from me not knowing the nemesis I carry with me." 

Li Cheng was suddenly wary. "The bleeding sky?" 

Mu Shen chuckled. When Mu Shen had been transmigrated, he had remembered where he came from. But the memories of these two abilities had mysteriously appeared. Four dimensional lock and Bleeding sky. Mu Shen had never comprehended any battle technique, it just happen to have been there already.

Li Cheng sighed. "I also raided a bit of resources too." He got out six cosmic rings and emptied them. Currently, it was only the both of them in this strange farmhouse. 

Mu Shen brought out the Cosmic rings and emptied the content and at that moment, his pupils constricted.

He saw an ancient jade taliman and a massive stone. 

Li Cheng's pupils shrank. 

"That's the Wang's family stone of inheritance and that the jade taliman that contains the Heavenly Dao of Seven Rivers Technique."

Mu Shen was suddenly horrified. The Heavenly Dao of Seven Rivers Technique! This might be the Technique that would attract the Wang's family's grudge. His eyes flashed. 

'I have to kill Wang Chung!' 

Mu Shen could not ordinarily return the jade taliman and Wang Chung should not be able to reach the Upper realm in an instant. The Upper realm is where the entire Wang family lived and he should be here in the lower realm for the competition at the Tower of fifth. 

"I'll kill Wang Chung." 

Li Cheng stared deeply at Mu Shen. This guy just had good luck. Mu Shen immediately grabbed the ancient jade taliman and crushed it and instantly, the memory of the technique appeared. He only needed to comprehend it. 

Now was not the right time. 

He poured more content out of the cosmic rings there was almost two hundred star crystals there. Mu Shen began to crush the crystals as the essence drifted out of it and was absorbed by him. Li Cheng just stared deeply at the young man.
