Chapter 1

"Hahaha! To think that I, Martial King Xi Mo, would die in the hands of you old farts! How laughable that I was actually poisoned by my own Brother!"

A young man with blood dripping from his chest began laughing at the group of old men in front of him, but one could hear the sorrow in his laugh. The old men were unmoved and stared frostily at the young man, who stopped laughing and sneered at the old men.

"To think you bastards call yourselves Good Cultivators! You hunt people for their wealth and plunder them even worse than Demonic Cultivators! Hypocritical bastards!"

"Xi Mo, that is enough. You brought this upon yourself. Who told you to be such a genius with rare resources? Rising to Martial King in 800 years, who else can do such a thing? You were too great for your own good."

"Hah! My own good? Indeed, hypocritical bastards! Although you killed me, you won't get my technique nor wealth! You think I wasn't ready for this? All my wealth has already been sent to random Demonic Sects around the Martial World! Hahahaha!"

Hearing his words, the group of old men finally had a change in expression. All of them showed fury on their faces, staring at the young man with frosty eyes full of rage, causing the young man to laugh even harder.

"Xi Mo! You bastard! Do you know how many lives will be taken because you provided those Demonic Sects with your resources! You are murdering millions of people with your actions!"

"Me, murdering? Hah! You old bastards! Don't try to lie to me, I know how you all are! You bastards took interest in a Heavenly Moon Jade that a mid-sized sect owned and you brutally slaughtered the whole sect for it! You murdered all three hundred thousand of them! For you own greed!"

When they heard the young man, all the old men showed slight embarrassment on their faces. After all, that was a huge stain on their lives. If it was a genuine Heavenly Moon Jade, they wouldn't care even if they killed a million people, not to mention three hundred thousand, but the Heavenly Moon Jade was actually fake!

"Not to mention it was fake! Hahaha! You old bastards should of seen your faces then! It was damn hilarious!"

"Xi Mo, so what if we don't get your resources?! We can still destroy the Demonic Sects in a few hundred years without them! Not to mention, you will be dying shortly anyways!"

"Hehe! I, Xi Mo, might be dying here, but if there is a next life, I will come back and slaughter all of you!"

The young man sneered and coughed up blood, his pale face turning even paler. Due to him being poisoned with Heart Devouring Powder, his power was halved, which is why these bastards at Martial Lord were able to kill him so easily by piercing his heart.

If he still had his full strength at Martial King, even a hundred Martial Lords wouldn't be able to even harm him, not to mention a mere 10 of them! Thinking about his Brother who poisoned him, the young man can't hide the pain in his eyes.

They had been together for over 700 years, coming from the same sect. He treated him as his Brother, yet he was still betrayed in the end! Thinking about it made him cough even more blood, but he didn't care.

He knew his condition the best, he wasn't going to live at all, no matter if he swallowed all of the Heavenly Resources he had gathered over the years. He could see that the old bastards were still cursing at him, but he already lost his hearing, and his vision was getting blurrier and blurrier by the second.

The group of old men finally noticed the young man couldn't hear then anymore and began staring at him, and seeing his eyes turning dimmer, they all knew he was about to die, so they could do nothing but huff angrily at the spot.

When the young mans eyes turned fully dim, they snorted and flew into the air, disappearing from the mountain peak within seconds, leaving behind the dead body of the young man. Since they couldn't obtain anything from him, why should they care about the bastards body.

Atop a mountain lays a bloody young man, his clothes in rags and his body still. Looking closer, one could see that the young mans body was already completely cold, meaning he has been dead for a while.

Suddenly, the young mans finger twitched slightly, then the young mans whole body began shivering. If anybody saw this, they would be scared out of their wits! The young man who was just dead was actually moving!

"Where is this? Didn't I die at the Wuxi Mountain Peak? Argh! Shit, why does my body hurt so much!"

The young man suddenly sat up and began looking around. Seeing the unfamiliar location, he began muttering before he shouted out in pain. It was then that he finally noticed the heavy injuries he has all over his body, causing him to frown in disbelief.

"Did those old bastards actually chop at my dead body? Wait, I should be dead, so why am I still breathing? Where the heck am I even? Ugh!"

The young man was getting more confused by the moment, and just as he tried to stand up, a prickling pain assaulted his head, causing him to crouch down with his head in his hands. A while later, the young man suddenly began laughing wildly.

"Hahahah! I see! I, Xi Mo, actually reincarnated! Just you wait, old bastards! I will definitely come kill you soon! Ah, wait! Why the heck is the Spiritual Essence so thin in this world? This world is... Earth? So this isn't the Martial World? Bullshit! If I am not even on the same world, how can I get my revenge?!"

Xi Mo suddenly sensed the thin Spiritual Essence in this world and was dumbfounded. He didn't think he was sent to another world, and one with such thin Spiritual Essence at that! With the Spiritual Essence this thin, how could he ever reach the Martial King realm again?

"Are the heavens playing with me? They reincarnate me into another body, but I am not even on the Martial World any longer! Not to mention with how thin the Spiritual Essence is in this world, I doubt I can even reach the Martial Warrior realm within 50 years! According to the memories of this body, a human lifespan in this world is only around 70 years, while this body is already 15! I would die before I could reach Martial Warrior, where my lifespan would reach 120 years!"

All the excitement Xi Mo felt when he realized he reincarnated has already disappeared. What is the point in being happy in this world? The lifespan of 70 years compared to his lifespan of 7500 years, that is too much of a difference!

Although he thought like this, he was still inevitably excited at the chance of a second life! When he sorted through all the memories of this body, he actually felt pity and anger at the situation the original owner of this body went through.

"What is this? This body was an orphan since he was 3, and he was actually always bullied by people all these years! In this, uh, middle school, he confessed his love to a female classmate, who rejected him instantly in disgust and even spread the whole incident through the school, which resulted in some rich bastard who also likes that girl send people to kill him? What the hell is up with this world?"

Xi Mo couldn't help but feel angry, but he felt more pity than anger. In his past life, he was also an orphan. If he wasn't taken in by his master, he would of probably died on the streets of some crappy city somewhere.

"Ah, the martial arts of this world is actually so trashy? And these guns, what the hell! A sniper rifle, as this world calls it, could actually kill an unprepared Martial Knight! Ah, what the hell! This nuke thing, this could actually kill a Martial Emperor! That is a realm higher than mine in my past life! What a weird world indeed!"

Xi Mo couldn't believe it. Who would of thought that while the martial arts of this world were so underdeveloped, their advancements in science, as it is called, is actually capable of creating something that could kill a Martial Emperor!

Xi Mo could only sigh. He originally though that this was a huge chance for him, but it really isn't. Perhaps the heavens took pity on him and brought him to this world to have a normal life? That might be so, but Xi Mo was a Martial King in his past life, how could he live a normal life?

"Ah, wait a second! This body actually has an Immortal Spirit Root! Unbelievable! A mortal in a world with such thin Spiritual Essence such as this one actually has someone with an Immortal Spirit Root, and I actually reincarnated into this body! Even in my past life, I only had a Heavenly Spirit Root! If I had this body on the Martial World, I could probably reach Martial King in less than 300 years, which is less than half the time i took!"

Xi Mo was exalted! Who would of thought that he would actually reincarnate into a body with the Immortal Spirit Root! But then, his excitement dimmed when he remembered the situation of this world, causing him to sigh.

"So what if I have an Immortal Spirit Root? I won't even be able to use it properly before I died due to the lack of Spiritual Essence in this world. Hah, I really don't know if I am lucky or unlucky now."

Xi Mo could only laugh helplessly at his situation. He has the most rare Spirit Root of all times, the Immortal Spirit Root, and he even reincarnated, but the Spiritual Essence of this world is too thin for him to be able to use the Immortal Spirit Root properly. He was wondering what he should do when he suddenly became dumbfounded.

"This... Isn't this a Spiritual Lake? No way, how could there be a Spiritual Lake here?! The Spiritual Essence of this world is so thin, yet it could produce a Spiritual Lake? No, I need to check if this is real!"

Xi Mo suddenly sensed a massive amount of Spiritual Essence, which could only belong to a Spiritual Lake, so he ignored the injuries on his body and began limping in the direction he sensed it. Although his body was wracked in pain, this is nothing compared to what he dealt with in the past.

Finally, he found a cave hidden below a few bushes, and he excitedly climbed down it. Although his body is injured, it isn't so bad that he can't move it properly. When he got to the bottom of the wall, he instantly saw a glistening cave with luminous pearls and a large lake in the center of it.

"It really is a Spiritual Lake! I can't believe it! Hahaha! It seems I really am lucky! Although there probably won't be another Spiritual Lake in this world, just there being one with such thin Spiritual Essence means there could be treasures around the world full of Spiritual Essence! If I could obtain those, with my Immortal Spirit Root, reaching Martial King again wouldn't be impossible! Whatever, let's quickly use this Spiritual Lake now."

Xi Mo quickly took of his clothes and jumped into the Spiritual Lake. He instantly felt a cool sensation all over his body, and the injuries on it quickly closed up and disappeared within minutes, leaving him perfectly fine now.

Xi Mo could care less about this as he sat down in the Spiritual Lake and closed his eyes, revolving his Great Heavens Mantra, absorbing the Spiritual Essence of the Spiritual Lake. He felt lucky that his techniques were actually still all stored within his Soul Space when he reincarnated to this world, so he quickly made use of it and used it to absorb the Spiritual Essence.

A few minutes later, Xi Mo opened his eyes and they were full of shock. He checked again and saw what he felt wasn't an illusion, and that he actually reached the Martial Practitioner realm in a few minutes.

"What the hell! Is the Immortal Spirit Root really that amazing? I took 4 days to reach Martial Practitioner stage 1 with my Heavenly Spirit Root back on the Martial World, but I got to Martial Practitioner stage 1 in a few minutes on this trashy world? If this is the case, I wonder how far I would get when I completely absorb this Spiritual Lake!"

Calming his excitement, Xi Mo closed his eyes again and began to revolve his Great Heavens Mantra again and continued to absorb the Spiritual Essence from the Spiritual Lake. Before he knew it, 9 hours passed, and the Spiritual Lake was completely dried up, leaving him dumbfounded.

"What... It is already used up? What the heck! Shouldn't it of lasted at least a month? Just what stage did I reach? I only cultivated for 9 hours... What! How is this possible!? Although the Immortal Spirit Root is amazing, how could I reach Martial Practitioner stage 5 in 9 hours!?"

Unable to believe it, Xi Mo screamed loudly. How is this possible! How could he actually reach Martial Practitioner stage 5 within 9 hours, when it took him 8 months in his last life! And even then, he was a complete genius!

"Ah? Why am I so tired?"

Xi Mo suddenly felt a wave of exhaustion assault his body, which confused him. Before he could even find out why it was like this, the exhaustion took over and he slouched down onto the ground, falling asleep instantly on the spot.
