HEY GUYS, NEW CHAPTER!!!

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Feng Yun sat on the wooden chair in silence. He was currently in a large room teeming with books and scriptures. In other words, he was in a library. Feng Yun was pondering about the information that he had received from the members of his family. He had been here for two months and he had learned a great deal from his family's conversation as well as his hours spent in the library. His family didn't know and always tried to search for him to no avail. He tried to keep his level of intelligence a secret. They were way too affectionate. They would pamper him everyday and baby him like he was a new toy. Frankly, Yun wasn't used to it. In his past life, he had grown up with a cold father that mercilessly inflicted his training and was the person who forged Yun into the killer he was. Human affection was non-existent as he had never grew up with a mother. His mother had died at the time he was born. Yun was grateful for the affection that his family gave him as it was comforting and heart-warming, however even he needed space to think. As for the information he got, there was a lot of interesting things.

First was his family. Yun's grandfather, Feng Lei was the current Sect Master of the Cloudscale Sect, one of the most powerful sects in the Xu Dynasty. There were only two other powers in the Xu Dynasty that could rival the Cloudscale Sect. His father, Feng Luo was the 2nd son of Feng Lei but was a powerful martial expert and respected by all members of the sect. His mother, Ling Qian was the daughter of Ling Sun, the current chief of the Tyrant Thunder God Dragon clan. This clan was one of the two powers that could rival the Cloudscale Sect. They possessed the blood of the Tyrant Thunder God Dragon and were capable of the divine beast's abilities. The blood of the original ancestor had deteriorated as new generations appeared however Feng Yun surprisingly had very pure blood. Yama probably had something to do with this. Ling Sun was very good friends with Feng Lei as the first ancestors of both powers were and organized a marriage between Ling Qian and Feng Luo to consolidate their relationship. It just so happened that they truly loved each other and that made things easy. This sparked argument from the remaining rival clan, The Blood Demon Sect however after some argument with the Emperor of the Xu Dynasty, Xu Qingzheng, they came to an agreement saying that the sects are forbidden from attacking each other. The Blood Demon Sect was said to be extremely powerful but engaged in cruel and merciless acts. They practiced in Demonic Arts which made their cultivation dark and their aura extremely baleful.

Feng Yun also learned about the different stages of cultivation that one had to pass through to reach the peak of strength. There were 9 layers within those stages. First was the Tempered Body Layer which was the basics for young cultivators. Second was the Xiantian Realm which the vast majority of experts were in. After reaching this stage, a cultivator''s lifespan would increase by a hundred years. Third was the Tyrant Realm or the Truth Realm. When you broke through from the peak of the Xiantian stage, you could choose which layer to focus on. Tyrant Realm cultivators had god-like bodies that were impervious to certain amounts of pain and had invincible brute strength. They could enhance their bodies to make them stronger and train in various techniques to strengthen the body. Typically, they increased their cultivation by killing powerful experts and through battle, their cultivation would rise. The Truth Realm focused on absorbing the elemental essence of the elements and were able to manipulate them at will. Both were said to be able to overturn mountains with their power and neither was better than the other unless practiced in certain skills. Yun wondered which layer he would chose when he reached that layer. When someone broke into either of these two layers, their lifespan would increase by a ten thousand years. Fourth was a realm whose amount of experts could be counted by hand. This was the Asura Realm.(NOTE: HAS NO RELATION TO ASURA PATH) The Asura Realm was a realm that only the emperors of the five territories had achieved. That was why no territory had conquered the other yet. It was said that not even a thousand Peak stage Truth or Tyrant Realm experts could fight against an Asura Realm expert. The Omni Beast King of the Immortal Fiendlands and the Hundred Stars Adjudicator of the Mystic Realm could be said to be roughly on par with each other even though they are both the strongest rulers on the continent. Still, the Adjudicator was stronger by a small margin. The last time they fought was a hundred years ago. However, martial cultivation was not the only thing that gave a person strength. When a person turned six years old, they would gain a spirit unique to them that could be trained and have abilities added to them. They grew stronger as the cultivator grew stronger. They could range from weapons, to beasts to unnatural abilities. This was extremely important in the path of power to reach the Asura Realm. Having two spirits was already very rare but there has been no one who's had more than that. Only the Asura Realm experts of the five territories have multiple spirits. The Hundred Stars Adjudicator was only able to defeat the Omni Beast King due to having three spirits. THREE SPIRITS!!! The Omni Beast King had two so he had a disadvantage. Yun was very curious to know what spirit he would have, or spirits. He got excited at the thought of it.

The continent that Yun lived in was called Wushu Zhicai. It was divided into five territories, the Tian Ming Empire, The Xu Dynasty, Sun Conglomerate, The Immortal Fiendlands and the Mystic Realm. The Sun Conglomerate was the weakest as it bought experts with its economy-based society however could not ensure their loyalty and thus led to conflicts. Nevertheless, they were the richest out of all of them. The Tian Ming Empire and Xu Dynasty were at loggerheads with each other and were both extremely powerful tied for third most powerful territory. The Xu Dynasty was also where the Cloudscale Sect resided in. The Immortal Fiendlands are the most dangerous due to their large number of Tyrant Realm Beasts and Fiends coupled with the divine beasts who possess extremely powerful divine abilities. They never cared about expanding territory however and left the humans alone. The Golden Tyrant Thunder God Dragon was a high ranked divine beast however left the Immortal Fiendlands due to his great friendship with the first ancestor of the Cloudscale Sect that Yun was a part of. The most powerful territory however was the Mystic Realm. Many experts gathered at that place to fight and cultivate as the experts native to that had extraordinary methods for becoming strong. The Mystic Realm kept the other territories in check and made sure they did not violate any rules. They did not participate in worldly affairs and preferred to just cultivate.

Yun had been reading for such a long time that he didn't realize the passage of time. He immediately put down the book and walked out of the library quietly without attracting the attention of the librarian and he slipped out, however he had attracted the attention of the librarian who watched him leave.

"Is that...Feng Yun? Was he reading just now? No way, impossible. A kid only two months old being able to read? Preposterous. My eyes may have been playing tricks on me." The librarian then walked back to his station.

After a while, Feng Yun walked on his small legs with his arms swaying as he went. His mother, Ling Qian eventually found him and reprimanded him for leaving without taking anyone with him. She didn’t expect a reply. A kid shouldn’t be able to reply or talk at this age but Feng Yun had gotten the hang of the new language of the continent and had replied without thinking of the implications.

“Sorry mom, but even I need my private space as well. I can’t always be pampered by you guys. Bye.” Feng Yun replied with a bright smile. He had developing handsome features on his face that would definitely win the attraction of many women in the future. He then proceeded to walk away leaving the shocked Ling Qian with her eyes wide and her mouth agape.

“Did he just...Oh my god. No way. He’s able to talk at this age?!!!”

Ling Qian ran back in the direction to Feng Luo and Feng Lei in order to tell them the news. Meanwhile, Feng Yun had walked back to his room quietly. Then, he sat down into a cross-legged position. Yun was going to see if he could try to cultivate. If he could begin cultivating at the age of two months, who knows how fast he could go. Yun was using the Universal Bindings method to cultivate. He immediately drew a exact copy of the universe in his mind and began drawing energy from that picture. By drawing energy from the universe, you were able to make breakthroughs at a much faster pace and gain higher understandings much quicker. He could feel the tingling sensation of Qi flowing through his dantian, circulating and getting faster each time. Yun could feel his body being strengthened and reworked at an extremely terrifying speed. Yun wore a very happy smile on his face. He had begun the path of martial cultivation. He had stepped into the Tempered Body First layer. If any of his family members saw him as he was currently, then they would be shocked beyond belief. Yun was emitting a golden glow and his gold and silver eyes pupils had black slits going through them making them look like a beast’s. However, the thin slits disappeared as quickly as they came and the rumbling within Yun’s body died away.

“This cultivation method is truly helpful. It can help you break through extremely fast and increase your understanding of the world and its laws. if I keep cultivating for another few hours, I should be able to make a breakthrough again.”

Yun continued to cultivate in secret for a few more hours until the same phenomena that happened earlier appeared. He had broken through Tempered Body Second Layer. Yun was so happy that he forgot that there would be rebounds. He coughed up blood and felt jolts tear through his body. They were tearing through him so fast that he could not rest properly. After a while, the pain went away and Yun finally was able to take a breath. I must be more careful when cultivating, Yun thought. The next time I should cultivate is most likely when I am at age five, one year before I get my spirit. Well whatever, I’ll study until then and learn a bunch of skills. Yun smiled. He had accomplished a lot in these past couple months. I look forward to when I’m older, he thought.
