On the peak of a mountain, a young man was sitting leaning against a tall tree looking at the silhouette of the forest below. As the falling leaves danced with the cold breeze, the night seemed incomparably calm and tranquil. The youth had a calm expression, not even the slightest ripples could be seen in his Sky blue eyes.

He laid down on the grass. Soon, with a flash of light, a beautiful young woman with silver hair and ruby red eyes appeared. She too laid down and stayed silent for a while as she accompanied him watching the stars.

He asked calmly "Xiao Lian, Didn't you ask me to collect a herb from the Treasury the day we robbed? So, when are you planning to concoct the pill?"

Xiao Lian said in a low but persuading tone" Focus on your training first."

Sheng Tian turned to look at her only to realize that her face had a tinge of red. He didn't know the reason so he asked jokingly " You know alchemy, right?"

Xiao Lian face reddened further as she said weakly " I...Actually ...was not interested back then, So, um. I didn't learn it...Maybe we can learn together." She looked somewhat embarrassed to admit it. After all, She did act a bit smug in her mischievous way when talking about cultivation. She felt that it was payback for his perverted jokes he can't stop making.

Sheng Tian was already laying on the ground if not he would have definitely fallen down, He looked at her like she was a ghost and asked in utter shock " You actually don't know alchemy?"

She could only nod helplessly but she didn't forget to add like she was assuring that she was not completely useless in this issue saying "But of course I have many formulas. As long we can find an alchemist, everything will be alright."

She just seemed like a little girl tending caught stealing candy but trying to defend herself saying that she was seeing if the candy was present or not. After all, Even for her who read very few novels, It was common knowledge that a Spirit Advisor should basically know every art in this world and be a master at each of them. But one really have to give her some credit for breaking this norm.

' Maybe she was too focused on cultivation,' he could only think of one positive possibility.

Sheng Tian could only facepalm and curse his bad luck muttering " Didn't they say that the spirit user know everything under the heavens, and she is basically zero in alchemy just like me. Oh Heaven, You sure like to make a fool of me."

He could only sigh and ask helplessly " Then, why did you ask me to collect that herb and some others in the Mountain? "

She replied seriously" I need a herb to help me recover even if it is a little percent. It will assure our safety after you join the Sect. Till now, we have been outside of any Organizations, so you didn't get to see any of the Powerhouses, but when living in a sect, you will never know what might happen. Life will only be more dangerous. Only Power gives Safety.


What if we can't make the pills ourselves, there will always be alchemists. We just have to find one. And once I give him the prescription to make it, we will get the pills. You can try earning his favor to make the pills or try through other means. There are countless ways. Worst case, Become an alchemist yourself."

He simply nodded and said " We'll reach the Qin Capital City tomorrow. I think it's better to finish gathering herbs for at least one pill there as we may not get the chance for some time."

Xiao Lian nodded obediently when she heard the word 'Capital' unlike her usual mischief self giving Sheng Tian a premonition that the girl in front of him had become very obedient all of a sudden just like a cute little kitten and he could not help patting her head having a satisfied smile on his face.

Xiao Lian only snorted and turned to the side but didn't stop him even though she is a bit displeased being treated as the younger one.

Qin Capital city is the Capital City of the South Region which is governed by Qin Clan. If said in crude terms, With the Publicly acknowledged Civilized Places of the continent all under the rule of the Empire, the Four Clans could be considered to be kings of their own regions serving the Empire.

Thus in a sense, The Regions are countries and the Clans are their Royalty. The Southern Region is also called as the Qin Country. Thus, there are Yang, Xiao and Lin countries too. All of them are being ruled under the Royal Family creating an Order of Power.

As the city is capital of the Entire Southern Region, Its sublimity and charm are not to be questioned.

The Southern Region of the Continent is very large even when compared to the largest continent on Earth. From this one can understand the Vastness of the Empire. If not for the Mounts Sheng Tian bought from time to time, He would only be able to reach this place god knows when. The mounts in this world are no way like the horses on Earth, they were much faster, more durable and much comfortable to ride on. Sheng Tian traveled thousands of kilometers.

He did hear someone mentioning about the Teleportation Formations but there were only some rumors. So, he could only shake his head in disappointment. But Xiao Lian told him that Divine Realm has a lot of teleportation formations as the world there is just too vast. This Planet can be counted as nothing but a drop in the Ocean there. Sheng Tian was thoroughly amazed when he heard this.

Though he didn't travel the whole continent, from his travels and basic geography, he could more or less guess how large this Continent would be, then how large would this whole planet be? yet it was negligible in that world. He felt that he was too small in this boundless cosmos yet within him there was already a firm will slowly starting to form to stand on the top of existence.

Thinking back to where it began, From coming to this world in a strange and questionable manner, along with the experience in the cosmos then waking up in the body of another person and being kicked out of the sect without mercy or maybe he was already given enough mercy for a place where might makes right.

Then his journey to start cultivation, discovering the Primordial Origin Sacred Scripture, Primal Origin Seed along with Mini Origin to undergoing 'Rebirth', walking in the steps of Fate to find 'Xiao Lian' and the robbing,the training in embrace of death, the blood bath of the Shentu and Wei Family with him finally setting off to Qin Family Capital and reaching a mountaintop, laying on the grass and gazing at the stars. It sounded dangerous yet satisfying bringing pride and joy to his heart.

He went from being almost vomiting on his first kill to lead to the destruction of two households with little to no guilt. He now felt that killing a person is normal. But what happened to the him who used to think that killing a person meant cruelly ending that person's dreams and bringing grief and disaster to his family?

He changed. So much that he too felt that he was very cruel. But instead of rejecting it like he previously did, he embraced it. It was now a part of him.

You can be kind, You can be cruel. Both are parts of you. Life won't change you, it is you who change yourself with life. Rather than blaming life for being harsh forcing him to change himself, Why not accept this as himself uncovered by the hardships of life itself?

When he came to this world, the first thing in his heart was to survive. But now he had to help someone and wanted that person to stay with him forever. He wanted to be stronger for himself and for her.

As he gazed at the stars in the sky twinkling and painting the dark sky into a fascinating sight, unfettered by the struggles of life and death, love and hate, remaining indifferent, just like the Heavenly Dao, Sheng Tian felt a strange yet familiar sensation from his entire being as his mind drifted into the cosmos with his thoughts

'Countless Mortals in this world are struggling to live properly. Many are dying on the path of Cultivation. How many of them are able to hold their head high and say that their life is not their regret? If you can't live your life without regrets, then what is the point of cultivation? Believing in your own will and walking your own path, set off to the unseen peak of the Martial Arts. How many have achieved Immortality?

Everyone has to become ashes one day but every martial artist struggles on the path of Cultivation. But even after knowing that they will most likely be only a pile of bones one day, why do these people try so hard? Even if they are not trying to achieve Immortality, why are they struggling so bitterly? Family, Love, Greed, Vengeance, Fear of Death, Lust for Women and thirst for Power. They work for these, but can they be blamed? This is what makes them human. The dreams in the clouds might seem unreachable to them but they try to reach the cloud by climbing the tallest hill.'

At this instance, He realized the moment he stepped on the path of cultivation, His life will never be the same. He cannot be a 100% sure that tomorrow he will be alive in the world. He can only make sure that Today he will live it without regrets. He will fight for what he wants, but at the same time cherish what he has. He will be ambitious but also be content.

After he came to the conclusion of his introspection and enlightenment, His heart, soul, and body calmed down. He felt that his life became much clearer now. Just like before he doesn't know where it will be going, but he can say for sure that it will never be the same.

As he turned sidewards to look at the woman who entered his life and heart, he felt that he should cherish every movement he is with her creating wonderful memories for them. He smiled in the most gentle way he ever did and Xiao Lian who was looking up suddenly sensed something calling for her, looked towards him and saw his gentle smile.

Even though he laughed and smiled countless times every day, they are either due to his humor or pervertedness but this gentle smile on his face and sincerity in his eyes did melt the heart of the young maiden as she too smiled back at him in silence with her smile showing her happiness. Though they didn't know what the other was thinking, their eyes talked and their hearts felt. Their relationship was pure and sincere. They didn't need words, only emotions were enough, they felt the other's heartfelt emotions through their own heart.

Sheng Tian slowly moved closer to her with both being still lying down on the grass, He gently hugged her waist and pulled her closer pouring all his love into his lips and giving it to her heart through her lips. They kissed in a subtle yet unrestrained passion, drawing their bodies closer and closer. After the kiss, Sheng Tian hugged her and she placed her head on his chest, hugging him.

A warm blanket covered them in the dark cold night, Even though the cold doesn't affect them, it showed the care and concern. Snuggling in his embrace, Xiao Lian closed her eyes and drifted into sleep. Sheng Tian hugged her waist with one hand and held the back of her head gently with the other as he too fell asleep. The night grew silent and the sky faded away, only the two remained in the world.
