Soaring Dragon Continent, Mt. Zu

On the Soaring Dragon Continent seven years went by in a flash and the cultivation world was turned upside down. The seven kingdoms have broken their alliance and a war is currently ongoing, over who is going to be the new leading nation. Once a leading kingdom is determined they shall crown an emperor to represent the people.

Chang Chi has been busy during these seven years, not only has he killed everyone who knew of what happened to the emperor, he even falsely accused the assassin that killed them. When the assassin was killing the last cultivator who knew of the secret, Chang Chi lead men to him and they all seen the man's blood on the assassins hand, along with the dead body of the cultivator.

Having someone to blame the kingdom’s executed the assassin and hunted down his whole family. Peace didn’t last long as the seven kingdoms wanted to crown a new emperor, time was of the essence and people were getting impatient.

After a few more meetings they were still at a standstill, and no one would budge. Seeing how no one would agree with each other, the Paragons of those nations started dying. Once they started losing their top cultivators, each kingdom suspected the other causing confusion. The confusion escalated until they couldn’t take it anymore and broke the alliance each claiming war on the other nations.

What the nation's didn’t understand was the Chang Chi secretly attacked the other kingdoms to take control of the situation. Although they might have found Chang Mu’s killer, they still needed an emperor. To get someone who stands above all else they needed someone who was strong, and can take control when needed. Chang Chi knew that the seven leaders wouldn’t put him in their eye’s so his only option was the turn them against each other.

Killing off their strongest cultivators resulted in the kingdom becoming weaker, which will make it easier for Chang Chi to take their kingdom over. The emperor’s palace is located in the middle while surrounded by the other seven kingdoms, and is neutral territory so fighting isn’t allowed. When the war started to escalate many seeked refuge in the area that surrounded the palace hoping not to get swept up in the war.

Under the protection of Chang Chi he gave them what they hoped for, making his own palace stronger while weakening the other kingdoms. The people were loyal to Chang Chi and some even told national secrets in order to seek his protection.

The seven kingdoms didn’t mind the civilians leaving and seeking refuge, to them they were people who wouldn’t accomplish much. However, they never found out that they were telling national secrets, if they did then they would have killed everyone in the palace.

Two years after the war broke out, Chang Chi announced that he would start closed doors training hoping to break into the immortal realm. If Chang Chi could break through then he could take control and no one could turn against him. As an immortal you have an unlimited lifespan, and those below you wouldn’t be able to touch you. A Paragon of Truth in the eyes of an Immortal is merely an insect. However becoming an Immortal is a whole new experience, many are stuck at the Paragon level and only 3 people in history have broken to the next level.

Once you become an Immortal your strength enhances five times over, making it so that even if a hundred Paragons attacked you, you can still escape. Truly it is the overlord of all cultivation, and you can tell how hard it is to break through.

During these seven years Qiu Zhen hasn’t been wasting anytime and whole heartedly spent his time cultivating. He had countless breakthroughs for his age. Qiu Zhen is currently twelve years old but is already at the 1st level of the Dao Realm.

One must know that there are five realms to cultivation those being; Qi Realization, Dao Realm, Mystical One, Paragon of Truth, and Immortal.

Qi Realization is the starting realm, that breaks you down to rebuild you from the inside out. At level one you sense other cultivators, at level two your meridians are born anew. Level three your eyesight is enhanced, level four your bones are broken down and reborn, at level five your Muscles get enhanced. Level six is when your skin becomes hard making it so that normal weapons can’t pierce them, level seven your hearing is enhanced. Level eight your pain sensors are reduced, and level nine is when you get enlightenment into Qi realization.

Qi realization is when your body takes all that has happened before and does it five more times making your whole body more sensitive and your strength enhanced by two hundred perent. This is also the time that you start to sense how great the aura is around everyone else.

Qui Zhen has stepped into the Dao realm, making him the youngest person in history to achieve this. The person who was the youngest before was only fourteen, but Qiu Zhen knew that this only happened because he could absorb one hundred percent of the qi in the air.

If the world knew of this fact it would cause a storm and he Qiu Zhen would be labeled as a genius among geniuses. The whole cultivation world would try to curry favors towards him, and the girls would try to get on his good side.

One must know that Qiu is only twelve years of age, yet is already in the Dao Realm. If he develops at the same speed he is now, or if he can go even faster then he could become the next Immortal in a decade. Who wouldn’t want to get on an Immortal’s good side while he was still young, you would have to be stupid if you didn’t. An Immortal is something that all cultivators wishes to achieve, but it's a realm that few achieved.

Being at the first level of the Dao Realm Qiu Zhen has One Red Orb, and that orb increases his strength by two hundred percent. You can say the Dao Realm and Qi Realization are worlds apart one of the major differences is that later in the Dao Realm your lifespan increases by fifty years.

Lien Meili is still stuck at the Mystical Realm even after all her time cultivating, however shes only thirty-one years old this year. She still has plenty of time to cultivate, but her cultivation speed is pretty normal compared to others. If she were to compare her cultivation speed towards Qiu Zhen’s then she would be discouraged because he broke through countless levels achieving what took her years to do in a matter of a few years.

Lien Meili wanted to teach Qui Zhen some martial arts and secret skills, however Qiu Zhen refused her. She didn’t understand why he refused her, but she didn’t question it since he has done so well on his own already.

The reason Qiu Zhen refused wasn’t because he didn’t want them, rather he already knew some high level cultivation techniques himself. Having his memories of his past, he would surely pick all the best skills out of them and solely focuses on mastering them.

The first technique he needed to master was the one where one can hide their cultivation level. This would be highly important to him because if anyone found out his cultivation, they would drag him to their clan and he wanted to be a free spirit.

The technique was quite simple, it is called 'False Cult'. One changes the energy released in the meridians to one that is a level lower than theirs. At mastery rank one could hide their cultivation by five levels, which would be important when impersonating someone else or in general.

Qiu Zhen started focused on the energy that was being released in his dantian and started to force it to slow down. It may seem simple however this takes immense concentration because if you mess up you will mess up your meridians which may lower your cultivation.

While Qiu Zhen was focused on this, a burning sensation was happening on his chest. He knew he was cultivating the technique right, so his meridians shouldn’t feel any pain he was confused.

Taking a closer look at his chest he noticed a tattoo. The tattoo had five Dragon heads each a different color curling around a gem. “The five Dragon pendant!”
