Millions of years have passed since Ning Tian have cultivated to the apex of cultivation and has become the strongest being in the world.
"Ugh, everything is so boring now. I remember the days of struggle when attempting to cultivate to the apex. How fun and dangerous it was. If only it was less dangerous." Ning Tian said in reminiscence.
"Wait a minute..." Ning Tian's eyes flashed for a moment. Making a portal to another universe for himself.
As Ning Tian closes his eyes. He thinks "I can just make a path where I am destined to cultivate to the apex! Give myself everything I will every need! This would be fun." And as he closes his eyes, he smiles.
And this shall be the start of a Legend...
(The following is what I wrote before I organized my chapter structures properly)
As Ning Tian opens his eyes. His head hurts. And starts to recall his memories. And a spark of light flashes by. "Right. I was back in Earth when a old man given me a set of cultivation method and some cultivation technique and brought me to this world."
The previous Ning Tian has obviously messed with his own memory to make the journey more fun.
Ning Tian slowly closes his eyes. And started circulating the "The Apex Cultivation Method". And as he cultivates, he starts breaking through realms and stages.
Cultivation is divided to 9 Realms and 9 Stages. Body Strengthing Realm, Spirit Nurturing Realm, Dao Formation Realm, Insight Realm, Mortal Realm, Heaven Realm, Immortal Realm, Immortal Emperor Realm, and lastly, just "Realm" which only has one stage. Breaking through from Realm will make one the apex of cultivation.
As Ning Tian cultivates, in a day he has broken through the Body Strengthing Realm and has reached the Spirit Nurturing Realm.
It was then Ning Tian has stopped. No. Not because he was tired. Not because he was lazy. He was just simply hungry.
As he look around, he discovered that he is in a cave insude a forest on a mountain. It taken him a few minutes to descend down the mountain where he had seen a sect named "First Under The Skies Sect". And they were currently recruiting.
At this moment, Ning Tian recalls what the old man had told him. "There are 5 grand sects in this world. Each situated in North, South, East, West and Center. Only the center sect which I will bring you to is worth paying the slightest attention to."
As Ning Tian walks up to register. He realized there was barely anyone. He was baffled. "A grand sect having barely anyone to register?" Until he noticed a sign to the right. "Failing the test will mean you are unable to take the test for another hundred years."
Ning Tian immediately understood.
(Author's Note: Still realized I'm not making this quick and will write quicker and shorter from here on.)
Ning Tian was asked to enter a room to check his affinity to cultivate. And as he placed his hands on the crystal, the crystal crack, no. The crystal turns to dust immediately.
This alerted the attention of many aged cultivators.
Ning Tian has went into the sect and given a place to stay in. Which was a first graded mountain.
And since class only starts tomorrow, Ning Tian decides to venture around to eat and have a good rest.
The class was shocked by Ning Tian's presence, and more of his affinity to everything. Ning Tian didn't even need to listen attentively and could cultivate while listening. And even comprehend and upgrade the knowledge given to him.
Just in a day alone, he had broken through to Spirit Nurturing Stage 3.
And as he leave his class, a fist was sent straight to his face. Ning Tian barely dodge it. And realized his opponent was of the Dao Formation Realm Stage 3.
"Humph! A puny low stage cultivator dares to be known as the most affinitied person to cultivate? I will show you." A person yelled.
Ning Tian was about to fight as a High Elder came immediately to stop the fight. He was of the Mortal Realm.
"If you want to fight, send him a duel request! It is the sect rules!" The High Elder warned.
"Humph! Meet me 1 week later at the Heaven's Battle Arena. Remember my name. Mo Ko!" Mo Ko immediately left.
"You can reject. You know?" The High Elder doesn't want such a talented cultivated to die so young.
Ning Tian was indifferent. And had went back to his place to cultivate.
Every authoriative figure was in a panic mode. Since the Heaven's Battle Arena is a battle to the death. Some Ancestor Level Cultivators even suggested to intervene if necessary and was immediately agreed upon.
A week has passed by. And Ning Tian has broken through to Dao Formation Realm Stage 3.
Let's just say, on that day, a legend has been made. A person was mocked and had broken through from Spirit Nurturing Realm Stage 3 to the same stage as their opponent Dao Formation Realm Stage 3 within a week. And with their sturdy cultivation base and strength 1 shotted their opponent.
A few years have passed. And Ning Tian has adventured throughout the world. Meeting fortuitous encounters and had broken through to Mortal Realm Stage 9. And have broken through to Heaven Realm. Ascending to the immortal plane.
While joining a immortal realm sect, a quick repeat of the previous battle with Mo Ko happen. This time, the opponent was of the Heaven Realm Stage 5. And after a few years was defeated by Ning Tian.
10 years later...
Ning Tian was at the Immortal Realm Stage 3. Facing off against a white bearded man at Immortal Realm Stage 5.
"I have cultivated only 10 thousand years. And have ascended to such a level. You, ignorant fool. Back in my day, this was an achievement of glory. How dare you insult me!" The white bearded man said.
In reality, Ning Tian only glanced at the white bearded man. And walked away. Especially since he noticed that the white beard was a fake.. Which the white bearded man took as an insult.
The white bearded man wanted to look old and experienced and faked his white beard.
As Ning Tian heard the white bearded man's words. He was astonished! As he had been busy cultivating and just ascended 10 years ago, he didn't know of what he had just learnt.
"Hahaha, now you know of my true strength and talent! Bow and I might let you live!" The white bearded man laughed.
"Plak! What do you mean you are talented. Oh please. Don't lie! I only taken around 15 years to cultivate to such a level. If you are talented, doesn't mean I am God?" Ning Tian remarked.
The white bearded man immediately look astonished. And after realizing that how would such a young looking person Immortal Realm be hidden away from the world. And also recalling rumors of a new ascended young Heaven Realm person 10 years ago. The white bearded man's dao heart immediately crumbled. His talent was his pride. But what taken him 10 thousand years was compared to 15 years to this individual.
The white bearded man couldn't stand it as lightning strikes down and destroyed the man on the spot. A scenario which only happens when a Immortal Realm's Dao Heart has fully collapsed.
From then on, Ning Tian was referred to as "Destroyer of Dao".
Another 15 years passed. And Ning Tian was at the Immortal Emperor Realm Stage 9. Defeating enemies after enemies.
And at the lastly, fought against a supreme demon who have devoured many people to achieve the Dao of Demon. And has reached the "Realm".
After thousands of punches, Ning Tian has ascended to "Realm" and destroyed the demon with a few punches.
Ning Tian looks down on the plant which he had just saved. And the followers which have followed him over the years.
As Ning Tian looks up, he realises it is time. And ascends beyond "Realm".
Right. Ning Tian over his years have had a suspicion about his true origin. Which had appeared after 'fighting" the white bearded man. And reaching "Realm" gave him enough insight to know that he was in fact a person who have reincarnated himself for fun.
As Ning Tian's memories return back to him, he thought to himself "As expected of myself. Gaining Insight to the truth of myself before stepping into the "Realm". I only expected myself to gain Insight of the truth when reaching "Realm". In my next reincarnation, I have to give myself less benefits."
Ning Tian smiles as he flys away. Leaving behind a Legend...
THE END.
