1 Wang Chen

In the World of Chang Yi, also known as earth thousands of years ago, when the scarceness in the Spiritual Qi in the heaven and earth went to the extreme.

The Martial Artist in the land became clowns in a circus, and Shaolin and monks in temples and concentrated in Ancient Gu since the ancient times from when the Spiritual Qi in the heaven and earth was in every way.

Some of the Martial Artist went into hidden cultivating the last bit of Spiritual Qi in the heaven while reminiscing about the time of when The Martial Artists were flourishing, about before the last humanity's war.

In the ancient records of Ancient Gu there were two great wars known as the Two Changes, aside from the usual wars between nations, in every war the result was always disastrous and it always leaves a deep powerful impact, and since the last war happened the impact result was that the Lord of the nine heavens and the three domains.

The Lord was the most powerful Martial Artist in the world; there were countless rumors about him, some said he was the light in the darkness, some said he is the dark itself, some said he does not have a specific shape appearing and disappearing like a ghost, he was simply invisible.

However, there were also the known truths about him, like him being the creator, like him being a master of swords, but if you ask anyone, from that generation about what does he hate the most, the answer would be "Wars", he simply hated wars to the extreme and he loved peace to the extreme also.

However, the most renowned subordinates he had were the Nine Heavenly Sword Maidens by his side, they were known as the nine fairies of heaven and earth, and even though the Lord changes his looks, but their appearance does not ever change.

Nevertheless, some people do not fear the unknown as he always disappears for a long period, it was the day of the outbreaking of the first war of humanity, and countless races were killed until even the Heavens cried red blood like rains that covered the nine heavens.

It was then that he appeared again and regained peace by dividing the nine heavens between the races, as three heavens for humans, Three for Demons and their offspring like elves and dwarfs and magical beasts, and Three for ghost cultivators and their offspring, and peace was regained.

Ten thousand years later, a war broke through the nine heavens again, no it can not be called a war, as it was a massacre, that even the usually quiet clans like the dragon clan, and the elven clan, and even the demigods clan that was known as the most peaceful clan, has gotten involved, and in the end the Lord appeared and he was thoroughly angry, to the extent that he sealed the nine heavenly energy nodes that provided the energy to the whole nine heavens while mending every three heavens as one, and as such the nine heavens became the three heavens, and as the spiritual qi in the heaven and earth declined, humans learned to adapt to it as usual with the passing of time.

They Built Heavy Machines, and countless wars were started as a result, but it was within the Human Clan, so the lord did not prevent it even though he hated it as long as the balance has not been broken.

However, as the humans progressed at their discoveries and creations they began to develop a sense of superiority and shifted their attention from creating machines to trying to create humans, they even built a connection to the other two heavens of ghosts and demons, and created an occupation known as summoners as to summon ghosts and demons from another dimensions to fight for them by using magic and mana, and they fell for the other two heavens' scheme.

Even the Ancient Gu was almost destroyed in the war, and then the Lord appeared ones again, and this time he mended the three heavens into one and only world of heaven and earth and slowly lifted the nine nodes seal, then divided the world to nine sections.

Known as, Humans and Demons, Ghosts and Elves, demigods, then he appointed The Divine Dragon and The Vermilion bird and The White Tiger and lastly The Black Tortoise, Known as the Four Divine Beasts to guard their respectful clans, as a reward for their meritsin providing help in preventing the war from breaking down, then he disappeared again.

In addition, since the passing of eras, one of the witnesses of The Three Changes Ancient Wars, The Ancient Gu known today as the Gu City, and when the passing of time the Gu City got down in rank from a Superior-Grade City to a Mid-Grade City. And the Three Changes War was almost forgotten, and if not for the nine seals that still hung on top of every city's Hall Of Heroes, it will be eventually forgotten, even the great generals under the Lord, disappeared in seclusion with no further information about them.

A further proof of the war were the Nine Deadly Mountains known as the Mountains Of No Return, as almost everyone that has gotten there never returned, and those who returned were those that rule the Continents today as heavenly sovereigns proud and arrogant, and one example is Chang Yi who will be known in the future.

*******************

Highest Sky Sword Continent, Gu City, The Sword Spirit Sect's Registering Hall in the center of the city.

Where towering buildings surrounded the place, and countless people were going in and coming out.

There were serval long lines of people, from inside the hall to the outside. If one looked carefully, those people were all young boys and girls in age.

As these days were of a third-class Sect, with the name Spirit Sword Sect outer disciple recruiting ceremony in the Gu City's central area.

And almost any young talent that met the requirements to join the sect would all come to register his or her name in for attaining a qualified salary to maintain their livelihood.

But this also has to be said, as everyone has the right to sign his name to participate in, as long as he has an id card, but that's all and the rest is all on him.

It could be described as a popular event here in Gu City, as it is widely known that once anyone enters into the Spirit Sword Sect, and even if this person was only an outer sect disciple or even one of the servants or the company's employers, then that person would already be considered as a mid-grade civilian in the Gu City.

In Gu City civilians were grade it as lower-grade for normal citizens and mid-grade for the sect's disciples and the members of any of the clans and then upper-grade for the elders of the clans and the richest people and the powerful experts, and lastly, superior-grade which was only for the mayor and the four supreme clans.

And when Wang Chen was not even of the lowest grade of the civilians as he was not even from the Gu City as he still has to stand in the middle of one of those long lines, following along with the crowd as they moved forward and with the line shortening and all of this was just because he had a slight cultivation that made him above the normal.

The final person in front of him had finally registered, and it was finally his turn to register his information with his id card.

Arranging his clothes, and checking his belongings as a lot of people were robbed like this in the crowded places, he looked nervously at the examiner.

A middle-aged old man holding a jade slip sitting behind a half black half white desk with a sword mark between them was looking at Wang Chen coldly.

"Id Card, strength." The middle-aged man finally opened his mouth and asked a little impatiently.

Although his job was only to simply registering the new disciples and checking their identities, it was just that after signing up a countless number of people continuously for the past few days, he naturally had become a little impatient and even felt a little suffocated and numb.

"body refining second level."

Hearing the question that the middle-aged man asked, Wang Chen quickly reported his cultivation's information with much clarity in his voice as he handed his id card with his sweaty hand.

While recording the information, the examiner also glanced at Wang Chen weirdly for a moment, before shaking his head inwardly and sighing gently.

Wang Chen, Fifteen years old, did not at school, instead, he home studied, Lives in Wuling Mountain Village.

The number of disciples that the sect would recruit this time was not that many. Even a body refining stage third level would not necessarily be guaranteed a chance to enter the sect. Never mention a person who was at the body refining stage second level this guy basically hadno hope of getting through the sect's assessment.'

He waved his hand and a white and black tag token with a sword in between appeared and on the other side of the token was the 900th number in ancient Chinese language.

"Okay, your number is 900. In twenty days' time, come back at the Spirit Sword Sect's Headquarter to participate in the sect's assessment, and take care of your token as if you lost it you will lose your qualification to take part in the Sect's Assessment." Said the middle-aged man as he handed the id over to Wang Chen

"Thank you very much, examiner sir." Wang Chen said respectfully.

The middle-aged man just waved his hand off, indicating that Wang Chen should go.

A mere body refining stage second level child had completely failed to pique any sort of interest he had right now, he even did not study in a school, he might even have to work in the mining area that belongs to the sect though.

And after receiving his qualifications number's token.

Wang Chen let out a heavy long sigh, before looking at the long line behind him, and then turning and leaving with a numb look on his face.

After having queued up for several hours, he had finally successfully registered in the sect's assessment but he did not feel any kind of joy or happiness.

As for whether he will or will not he would be able to join the Spirit Sword Sect, it would be completely seen during the assessment, within twenty days from now. actually thinking about it more, he couldn't help but tighten his grip on his number's token with much agitation.

This was the last chance he had to protect his family and raise their heads high for him proudly.

Wang Chen couldn't really be counted as a citizen of Gu City, but he was the only son of a small clan that lived in Wuling Mountain Village about a couple of hundred kilometers far from the Gu City, he did not get the basic studies in school, but his dad and mother were more of a home teacher to him, as also he didnot go to school he more or less even received an education that may not have been in normal schools.

it was just that right now the Wang Clan declining for the last few decades. In the clan, other than him, his father, and his two younger and older sisters, his mother, there were also a few servants and some young powerhouses that were left from the past huge Wang Clan and a few elders.

But do not get confused about the Wuling Mountain's Wang Clan and the Central Continent's Wang Clan, also there is a huge connection between them, it is still not the same clan.

But because it was like this, the Wang Clan's days weren't that easy, especially in recent times. The Lin family's third young master had taken a liking to Wang Chen's older sister and wanted to forcefully marry her regardless of anything else, he even wanted to take the little one too, but he still had some rationality so he decided on the older sister in the end.

If it was someone else than that piece of sh*t, As if a man and a woman got married, even if they were forcefully married it would be ok, as they still were married, but in all of the Wuling Mountain Village and Gu City, who didn't know about the Lin family's third young master's fame for being silk pants? Wang Chen would definitely not watch his older sister fall into the pit of fire and do nothing about it at all.

Furthermore Lin Tai was famous for being silked pants in the Gu City, and even being one of the Four Young Masters of the Gu City, do not get the wrong idea, Also the Wang Clan is not a thing in the eyes but Lin Clan is not a thing in the eyes either, it is just the Lin Clan has a connection by marriage to the second Clan in power in the Gu City's Four Supreme Clans.

It was just like that, for the declining Wang clan, when placed in front of the Lin clan, they were completely unable to defend themselves. The only chance was for Wang Chen to enter the Spirit Sword Sect, and once he became an outer sect disciple, the Lin clan would definitely not dare to wildly touch the people of the Wang clan, and even though there existed a connection between the Wang Clan in the Central Continent and the Wuling's mountain's Wang Clan, but it seems that there was some sort of problem that happened between the two Clans, so everybody quickly forgot this sort of connection.

Thus, Wang Chen came to the Spirit Sword Sect's assessment this time around, not just for his own self, but also for his older sister and his family.

This was also his one and only last chance as he did not know if he would have another chance!

---

There were still twenty days. His strength could still possibly be enhanced by a step if worked hard enough.

That way there would be a better chance of successfully entering the Spirit Sword sect.

Hardening his heart, Wang Chen smilingly walked outside the hall.

However, his smile did not last long, as not long after he had exited the Hall, Wang Chen's path was blocked off by some sloppy shameless people.

And suddenly a bunch of strong-looking guys dressing in servants clothes blocked Wang Chen's path out of nowhere.

And then the big snobbish brother of them, walked out of them while holding onto a folding fan in a sloppy disgusting fashion, and stood in front of Wang Chen.

"Wang Chen, you really dared to register in the Sect's assessment with your sh*tty strength? Or did you really think that with your Sh*tty strength, you would be fancied by the sect's members? What a bad joke it is."

as the one blocking Wang Chen's path was a branch member of the Lin family, Lin Yang.

Lin Yang was no stranger to Wang Chen. originally, he would always hang out with Lin Tai as a henchman. hence, he was also the one who brought up the matter with Wang Chen's elder sister marriage to Lin Tai to be added as one of his playthings. And as a result of it, Wang Chen's hatred towards him was no less than his hatred towards Lin Tai the silky pants.

Listening to Lin Yan's unbridled laughter, Wang Chen coldly said: "Lin Yang, just let that thought of yours die. No matter what, I will not let my older sister marry into the Lin family, also don't forget that also our family declined but we still have some powerhouses we aren't easily provoked, furthermore there is still my grandpa." As Wang Chen's eyes started to change color slightly and released a weak pulsing energy, Wang Chen hurriedly suppressed it as to not made anyone feel it.

Hearing these words, Lin Yang couldn't help but laugh out loud, with a "Pa" he closed his fan. He proceeded to speak in an overly disdainful manner: "Over the past few years, you've been in Wuling Mountain Village and the Gu City, which girl my third brother did not get his hands on after laying his eyes on her? Your older sister is no exception either."

"And your grandfather who did not care for you all of those past years, do you think that he will care now?There will come a day when she will also become the third brother's plaything in bed!

And who can say for sure, Maybe after my third brother finishes playing with her, I might get my own turn to play with her as well… Hahaha!"

In Lin Yang's tone, there was an indescribable swagger to it was just missing the word smug to be written on his forehead.

"As long as I'm still around, you guys shouldn't dream of boasting! and if one day grandpa found about this, you surely will be regretting it" Hearing Lin Yang's mouth talks bad about his older sister, Wang Chen couldn't help but angrily spout as a freezing chill began spreading around his body and his eyes started to pulse again with more frequency than ever.

"Whether or not there'll be, it isn't for you to decide. I'm afraid that you still have the hope of entering into the Spirit Sword Sect, right? It's not worth mentioning, simply because I will dash your hopes for good." Lin Yang's face darkened as leaked out an ugly smile, just a moment ago he felt that damn ghostly feeling again from this " trash" in front of him.

As he finished speaking, Lin Yang signaled to some of the servants by his side as he stuffed that unease in his heart and tried to push it out of his mind. Those servants understood his meaning immediately and moved quickly and they walked past Wang Chen and surrounded him.

Seeing that Lin Yang wanted to make a move, Wang Chen couldn't help but take a few steps back. As he was only a mere body refining stage second level and the Lin family's servants were at least body refining stage third level and up.

Wang Chen, felt the pulsing heat from his eyes start again, this time, however, he did not stop it, as he sent a thought through his mind to numb his body, and instantly he lost control of his body and he started countering attack on them with an emotionless expression.

Normally Wang Chen was not their opponent in a one on one battle, much less against the three or four people that were surrounding him, but that is was with the premise of Wang Chen not using the ability of his eyes.

Naturally, the conflict between Wang Chen and Lin Yang was seen by bystanders, but with one look, one would know that it was a young master of a clan bullying a civilian boy and teaching him a lesson. Unrelated people stayed away from it since no one wanted to get themselves into trouble for a stranger.

And Just in a couple of minutes, Wang Chen had already been beaten by those servants and became a panda's eye owner.

The difference in strength was too vast. Wang Chen could only resist for two seconds before being struck on the back of his neck by a servant and knocked unconscious.

"Young master, how should we deal with this kid?" The strongest servant respectfully asked Lin Yang.

Looking through the vicinity, the number of passersby wasn't small. Lin Yang frowned and said: "Let's first get out of the city, then we'll talk."

If it was in the Wuling Mountain Village and he was with Lin Tai, Lin Yang would even dare to kill in the streets, but here was Gu City. Lin Yang didn't dare to be too arrogant as there was police here, and he did not dare to move too much out of line here, as also this is the spiritual qi era, law still existed and if one wanted to do something out of las, at least he had to go out of the city.

Compared to a large clan from Gu City, the biggest family in Wuling Mountain Village didn't amount to much.

Moving quickly, after a short while, Lin Yang brought the servants outside of the city and deep into the Forest.

"Young master, what should we do with him? This is out in the forest, in front of us is the forbidden land and we can't continue anymore deeper, even if we killed him now, no one would know, moreover he is a nobody." One of the servants suggested.

Hearing this, Lin Yang thought for a moment, then nodded: "Hmm, let's just say this kid got off lucky. This time we'll spare him for no good. Beat him so that he will have to stay in bed for at least 10 days to half a month, also throw him in the forbidden land's entrance and let's go back. Doesn't he want to participate in the assessment? I'd like to see how he's going to attend or even get out of this place alive."

Lin Yang's position in the Lin family was not too high. he relied on Lin Tai like a fox assuming the majesty of the tiger Most of the time.

Now that Lin Tai was not around, he did not dare to be too arrogant.

Therefore, He did not dare to get rid actually of Wang Chen, but that doesn't mean that he can't play some tricks and also this place is a place that no one knew what is or what is inside of it as everyone has gone in hasn't come out alive even those in the completion level of the first realm.

He looked at the place in front of him that was the deepest part of the forest and was now covered in dense fog and the hissing and roaring of the beasts inside, then he looked at the sign that looked so ancient than the creation of the forest itself and there was written on it "With GreatRisks Comes Great Fortune"

they say that someday the sky in the forest darkened and thunder roared and the land trembled, it was like the end of the world is here, and amidst all those came a pillar of light from high in the heavens and from then on the deepest part of the forest has been like this and this sign that came out from nowhere, from then people had gone in to try their luck but none succeeded, and he unconsciously trembled at the thought of the terrifying rumors he heard about this place.

And after receiving the order of Lin Yang, those bootlicking servants began to immediately beat the hell out of Wang Chen while he is unconscious.

These servants had helped Lin Yang perform these actions multiple times. They knew where to hit so it hurt but without killing the person. Even though he was unconscious, due to the huge amount of pain, Wang Chen still revealed a pained expression.

And after finishing the beating process, Lin Yang ordered them to throw Wang Chen into the "forbidden land".

And right away he took his men away with him. as for the case of will the wild animals eat Wang Chen or something else do it, he did not care, anyway, he had done what could be done on his part.

*****

Meanwhile in the deepest part of the forest where the fog in the forest was thickest in, a sword-shaped Altar of mysterious origins was situated in middle the forbidden ground in the forest sending out a dazzling white rays sometimes and sometimes Black rays, shone its brightest ray of light since the day it came to existence like the shining stars of the universe.

And while later came a Black ray as dark as the night's sky and like this, they kept flashing brighter and brighter and kept darkening as if they were contending with each other from the ancient times till the end on whom shall reign supreme.
