Chapter 3: Grand Desolate World
Somewhere in an unknown lower world, a crack appeared in the void. In the next second, a wisp of gas came out of the crack and started moving from one place to another.
It passed through one city after another, but this gas would stop above the city for a few seconds before moving on. From the looks of it, this wisp of gas looks very anxious, as if searching for something, and as it searches it slowly disipates.
However, when the wisp of gas was on its last leg, it stopped above a dark forest with towering trees, and in the next second, it rushed inside the forest. Upon entering the forest, a cave became visible, the ball of gas went into the cave and stopped in front of a boy whose age couldn't be more than
14 to 15. He had white hair and a pair of deep black eyes however, he looked cute.
This boy had many scars on his body however if one looked closely enough you could hear the faintest sound of a heart beat so weak it could stop at any moment. The wisp of gas didn't waste a second as it directly entered the boy's body. In the next moment the boy opened his eyes.
"Damn it" The boy cursed as he slowly stood up from the ground.
"I was so close, so fucking close to completing my goal. Those bastards, i wasted so much time nuturing them, but they betrayed me, those fucking bastards
betrayed the hand that fed them."
'sigh'
"I was in the wrong, i should have placed a slave seal on them. I should have thought something like this could happen." Jiu Tian sat down on the ground again as he couldn't help but regret not placing a slave seal on his disciples. Things might have been different if he had done that, and he wouldn't have to regret it now.
I'll never forget what they did to me. If someone is not strong enough they will be devoured by others, after all we live in a world where the strong reign supreme. "I'll start from the beginning, i'll have to exact my revenge. In the past i wasn't talented enough, nor did i have an extraordinary bloodline like the geniuses or a strong backing.
But one day my life changed as i chanced upon an ancient secret realm and found a plain looking scroll and a drop of blood. And upon touching the scroll, knowledge of a cultivation technique (primodial fiendgod cultivation technique) and a vast amount of other informations related to cultivation, alchemy and artifacts. And as for the drop of blood it went into my body and has been lying dormant ever since.
But now i can cultivate this technique because of its strange requirement of restarting ones cultivation from scratch. I had no choice but to cultivate a different technique from the scroll in my past life.
well there's no point in discussing the past, lets focus on the present. From now on I am Luo Cheng."
"But before that" Jiu Tian closed his eyes as he felt unknown memories appearing in his mind.
"So thats how it is" After almost half an hour later, Jiu Tian opened his eyes, from the memories he received he understood his current situation.
The owner of this body, Luo cheng is a member of the Great Zhou Empire.
The Great Zhou Empire is one of the strongest forces in the Heavenly Desolate Region of the Grand Desolate World, a world so vast even Tribulation Venerables can't traverse throughout their lifetime.
The strongest known forces of the Heavenly Desolate Region are the (1 sect, 2 empires, 2 pavillions, 2 palaces and 2 alliances) and among them are enemies, allies and neutral parties.
Dao Enlightening Sect
Great Zhou Empire
Great Qin Empire
Sword Pavillion
Blood Kill Pavillion
Yin Moon Palace
Origin Rune Palace
Divine dao alliance (alliance of Independent clans)
Trade Alliance
"This Luo chengs situation is a little complicated, his carriage was attacked on their way to Bloodstone Forest on the outskirts of Leng prefecture.
Leng prefecture is where he resides with his adopted parents, the 3rd prince of Great Zhou Empire, Zhou Leng and Consort Yan Zilan. This was a blatant assassination attempt on his life.
'Sigh' Being part of the Imperial Family is indeed troublesome."
"I can think about this later, first comes the matter of what i should do now. Should i return to Prince Zhou Leng's Mansion or not?" This question puzzled Luo cheng quite a bit.
Luo Cheng's father, Zhou Leng has a cultivation base of the 8 Star Xuan Soul Realm, which is astonishing at his age for he is someone who has an Emperors Bloodline. The authority Prince Leng's mansion held was also quite significant, to grow, Luo cheng knew that he needed cultivation resources, status and a safe environment from prying eyes.
Each one of this things was interdependent on the other, there were multiple heirs of Prince Lengs mansion, so it was inevitable that there would be many enemies on the surface and underneath the surface.
"It appears that the choice is clear. To return." Luo Cheng calmly spoke.
