The polar snow blasted through.
A harrowing, poignant end.
A child roaming the niveous snow, experiencing excruciating pain.
However the child didn't seem to fret, he was instead full of frenzied emotion.
The child Jue Ying was a runnaway fugitive, Right... I AM a fugitive...
Back in the prison I was tortured beyond belief.
Afterall, Cruelty is the intentional infliction of suffering or the inaction towards another's suffering. Sadism is also a concept of those.
Maybe, just maybe if I were a martial arts practitioner... Or a highy regarded physician, could I had avoided this miserable situation of mine? Perhaps my desperation, makes me think so.
Matters not, this world is all about results, no matter the cause, no matter the start, it's all about results in the end.
It was just shortly after I lost all hope... That, I had just arrived, surviving from a long glacial journey.
This... An actual village, just when I had erased all thoughts of surviving.
Life's full of suprise,
The full moons glaze pierced to my eyes as the starry night's valley lit up the village. Months passed staying as a beggar in this small village.
I had hoped my life would get better from now on...
The very day, the crucial hole in the very miserable days, I had met him.
I would never had thought,That my first actual home would actually turn into hell.
The very fierce man named Dugu Qiubai arrived,
Chills used to scrawl through my skin, how come I felt exalted instead?
Was I going crazy from starvation? Haha, that was not the case.
This time, I already thought about it a lot,
Even if he's a high ranking officer of a well renowned sect,
Wouldn't he die if I stabbed him in his sleep?
Jue Ying hypothetically thoughts to himself.
Now that I'm truly free, what should I fear?
An eye for eye, tooth for a tooth.
Qiubai, this village shall be your graveyard,
And the rest will eventually follow.
The moon had already arose when Jue Ying quietly approached Dugu Qiubai's chamber.
Amidst this shameless move, Jue Ying notices the presence of three men,
How could've he spot the presence of such figures?
He had expected a few guards on the way, but not like this.
Jue Ying himself had acquired something special.
How could a ordinary boy like him,understand... Everything?
It was as if he had received enlightenment, one he couldn't fully grasp.
Yet it's there, the remarkable talent lies inside himself.
I simply picked up a knife thrown in the slums,
Would I be able to take on such experts?
Jue Ying excitedly runs inside and stabs Qiubai then gushed his eyes out for fun, simply let Qiubai scream in agony as Jue Ying smirked.
No second thoughts, he had calculated it...
The experts were full of fright, they couldn't notice a simple boy?
The very small gap of time the experts blinked, the boy actually noticed throughout their breathing, the intervals,
The times they breath in and out and how often they blink, all those info were gathered simply because Jue Ying could hear their breath, and instinctively notice their presence.
While the experts were confused, Qiubai had already pass on, Jue Ying did not spare any moments and scattered oils he gathered and ran.
The furious expert rushed towards Jue Ying clenching his sword scabbard,
But it was too late, Jue Ying had scattered the glazing flames.
The experts managed to escape the flickering flames, however.
Jue Ying had already fled the scene.
"Son of a bitch." the furious expert muttered in silence.
Three of the experts spared looks at each other and scattered,
Searching for traces and would eventually end up killing the boy.
"If the patriarch finds out about this, we'll be dammed."
A midst the experts chaotic time,
Jue Ying was simply immersed with his new vast capabilities.
His problem was his instinct to know everything.
He wants to pursue the dao,
"This time, surely." Jue Ying now had set a new goal.
Walk the path of cultivation, not for strength or charisma,
Simply because he felt like it,he felt limitess dao's to reach.
He deemed that he will find solitude and peace when cultivating immortality.
Starting with Qi Condensation then foundation building.
Just from abit of practice, my body drastically changed.
My body felt lighter and stronger.
I reached the 5th layer of foundation establishment.
The martial arts guide book he acquired while sneaking onto Dugu Qiubai's
Martial manor was actually proven useful.
The contents of the book also piqued Jue Ying's interest.
The Cultivation rankings, he had heard about it, but he never payed much attention to it.
It consists of various Realms such as;
Mortal Stages (Lower Realms):
Qi Condensation/Refinement: Absorbing spiritual energy.
Foundation Establishment: Solidifying the body and energy base.
Core Formation/Golden Core: Forming a core within the Dantian.
Nascent Soul/Spirit Severing: Creating an infant soul.
Body Integration/Void Refining: Fusing with the world.
Tribulation/Ascension: Facing heavenly trials.
Immortal/Divine Stages (Upper Realms):
Immortal: Progressing through different immortal ranks.
Golden Immortal/Great Principle Golden Immortal: Higher-tier immortals.
Saint/God/Deity: Becoming god-like beings.
Eternal/Creator: The highest known levels, achieving true eternity.
Each realm required 9 layers of cultivating to breakthrough the new realm.
This only made Jue Ying more craving for immortality.
Knowing this, Jue Ying got ready and went on to leave the village.
The guards of the village looked at him disgusted at his beggar looking hanju.
Jue Ying got annoyed, whilst he approached the gate he beheaded the guards and took their organs to feed the horse he stole.
"Ah what a wonderful bliss." Jue Ying muttered joyfully.
Jue Ying hated everyone that hates him. It was a simple mindset he has.
He happily danced as he held both the heads of the guards.
The night passed whilst the sun arose.
Jue Ying left the village in ruins without revealing his identity.
The villagers was terrified of whatever made this chaos.
They called him the "night demon".
Jue Ying went on to reach his destination, roaming forests and hills.
Spot on, Jue Ying could see the Kailin borders.
It took him a day to reach the border of the Kailin region even with horse
He wondered what kind of fun awaits him in the well renowned second largest city in the Jianghu.
