1 Rebirth

"Argh" yelled Su Yueyue as he was cut down and his soul was devouvered without hesitation.

The prepertator of this never ending bloodshed was none other than Yang Wei, after reaching the Peak of Profound Immortal realm, he had hit his bottle neck and his cultivation could not advance further and in his heart he knew he would remain stagnant at this realm forever.

He was many things but not someone who gave up hope because even if he knew there was not a way currently known to anyone, he was not giving up on his search for immortality so easily thus he refused to be ordinary and wait for death and instead he took matters into his own hands.

...

For Milenniums he has searched for a technique which could get him past this realm and as he got older and older he learned much that was yet to learn about his path, he also slayed alot of soul path cultivators and stole their inheritances, attainments in soul path and their memories.

His obsession for immortality clearly kept growing as he found himself closer to creation of a technique which could get him past his bottleneck.

...

4 Milenniums later, a corpse of a naked subject was lying on a bloody table, near the corpse was Yang Wei after spending alot of time on this ruthless pursuit for immortality, his face could be seen faded and timeworn with wrinkles, he looked like someone who was close to death with vitality being diminished every second and could be seen wearing a dusty black robe.

Yang Wei could now be seen in a trance like meditative state where his thoughts were moving at lightning speed and every second passing by felt like an hour. Several minutes passed by while he was in this state, after immediately which he came to a conclusion.

'Sigh! I guess this technique can not be improved further' thought Yang Wei while showing disappointment on his face.

Several seconds had passed during which Yang Wei was hesitant and at one point there comes a resolute look in his eyes.

After which his body swells and inflates, violent spiritual energy beneath the skin bursts out and destroys the body. The sudden explosion equivalent to hydrogen bomb destroyed the entire underground lab and with it the kingdom above his underground lab, before anyone could make sense of what happened all life was blown to smithereens with nothing being left of their existence.

A large explosion attracts countless prying eyes to the detonation site, away from the range of the self detonation after many cultivators saw the size of the explosion, the many rational people who valued their life ran away since they did not want to be involved in a battle between Immortals.

Still many cultivators overcome by greed came towards it hoping it may bring them opportunities, and they were expecting that the Immortals would be distracted enough on the fight and would not have the time to care about a few ants.

After sometime, the now barren vast land annihilated by the explossion of a peak Profound Immortals body was filled with a handful of weak cultivators, who knew with their aptitude they had no hope to reach a higher realm without some god sent tressure being attained by them, alas all of their expectations were about to be broken, since there was nothing which could be called a treasure in this barren land full of violent spiritual energy which was the after effect of the sky shattering explosion.

Slowly the cultivators one by one turned their heads and went back with exagerated stories of this now barren land in order to gain something of monetary value.

With the passing of time the sudden huge explosion which destroyed the entire Devontae Kingdom invited many conspiracy theories but only the people present would have known what arrised here and tragically none of them were alive due to the sudden explosion, thus leaving no evidence of Yang Wei's immoral experiments on missing cultivators.

...

Currently in the far east of the southern continent, there was a sect entrance examination going on which occured every decade and many people from different villages had gathered in order to enter the Raging Flame Sect which was the prominent sect of their area and one of such youths was a person called Zhang Wen.

Zhang Wen was a very ordinary looking person, and if he were in a crowd you would not be able to identify him. Currently he was wearing the common garb which was not much different from what people around him wore so he didnt stand out.

Zhang Wen's father died when he was 11 years old and he was raised by his mother and big sister.

His Sister was black haired beauty and she was the Inner disciple of the Raging Flame Sect. Many people came to ask her hand for marriage but she refused and Zhang Wen knew that many people lusted for his sisters body and if he wants to protect her and his mother from such people he needs to become a cultivator so that no one thinks of messing with them, which is the real reason he applied for the entrance exam of this sect since his goal was always to protect his family from all harm that might come in future all while fulfilling their every wish and while he was lost in this thought the Instructor released a sliver of his aura and the entire crowd went silent due to the oppresive pressure enforced on them and concentrated in his direction.

"Thank you for your attention everyone, now the way this exam works is one by one each of you will come and place your hand on this device which apraises your aptitude for cultivation and if u do not have any aptitude you will not be accepted as an outer sect disciple for our mighty Raging Flame Sect" Ordered Instructor Li.

Shortly after which the surrounding Guards spring into action and start making everyone line up, because all of them knew better then to attract a cultivators wrath.

Meanwhile Zhang Wen was very mesmerized after seeing the powerful display of how suppressive the aura of a cultivator was and became even more determined to be a cultivator.

Shortly after the commotion the line kept moving forward, since many people had no aptitude they were escorted by the guards back to their villages, people dejectedly went back to their homes as their only hope for cultivation was tossed in the drain, meanwhile slowly the crowd kept getting thinner and thinner after which finally 5% of the orignal amount of people that had gathered were left, currently Zhang Wen was a nervous wreck by now and when his turn came he closed his eyes and he slowly held his hand out to touch the device while wishing from which ever being that could listen to grant him some kind of aptitude, after which the device illuminated a bleak yellow light.

"Low grade aptitude" exclaimed Instructor Li.

Once Zhang Wen heard this he didn't know whether to be happy or sad, since most low grades will be stuck in Qi Condensation Realm and will not reach Foundation Establishment Realm unless they get a hold of plenty of cultivation increasing pills and rare herbs.

After the end of the ceremony Instructor Li gathered all the people left. "All of you are now Outer Disciples of the Raging Flame Sect, Tomorrow we will leave for the sect and for now all of you will be given rooms where each of you will be given a training manual to break through to Qi Condensation Realm, You all are dismissed" said Instructor Li while putting hands behind his back and went back to the cabin he came from.

When Zhang Wen entered the cabin assigned to him it looked like it had just been cleaned, there was a bed, some food, water and a cultivation manual on which it was written 'Earth and Man Scripture'.

After sitting on the wooden floor Zhang Wen opened the scripture and started memorizing it, after 2 hours of memorizing the first part of scripture, Zhang Wen entered a meditative state to try and breakthrough to the Qi Condensation Realm.

'Finally thank heavens I can not wait any longer to become a cultivator and take care of my sister and mother' muttered Zhang Wen after which he focused on cultivating as taught in the first part of the scripture.

8 hours passed in the blink of an eye, from the beginning of which Zhang Wen was sweating continously, shortly after which a turbulent spiritual energy is given off his body which occurs after every persons breakthrough from the mortal shackles to Qi Condensation Realm, during this moment if a cultivator were to look closely they would observe that Zhang Wen was not breathing and his soul could not be found in his body at this moment his body was an empty puppet and just as quickly as his breathing stagnated it reappeared but by this time it was someone else's soul housed in Zhang Wen's body.

'No one can stop me from my journey to immortality not even the heavens' muttered Yang Wei and went back to healing his injured fragment of soul.
