The Light

When I saw the signboard, it said:

"Tiger Cliff Village".

After looking at it for a while, I stood in front and pondered... I decided that it would be better to hold off for now.

I ignored it and held off on some of my plans, as I recalled a certain saying from a friend of mine: "Hastiness brings nothing, patience brings something".

Thus, I went off and joined them for lunch instead. It was a normal day, everything was calm, just like how it was in the past. But the only thing is that, I was training, in the midst of it.

I tried to analyze how far I can use my *Existential Authority, and it seems that I could only bring out about 1/10000000000th of its power right now.

And seeing my state after forcing myself to draw out more of its power while I was still weak, it was inevitable to suffer from backlash. Which is why, I decided to train myself, and create some new cultivation arts, in order to accommodate my physique and bloodline very well.

Upon further investigation, I found out that I have the Mystical Dragon God physique. The physique that is capable of possessing incredible strength that could annihilate gods when trained to perfection.

On the other hand, I still haven't figured out anything about my bloodline but I know that it's bound to be revealed soon. I should just be patient and wait for the right moment.

After figuring things out, I tried to train my basics in the way of the sword, and apparently, that's what those 'warriors' called it, since I consumed their soul and gained their memories right after.

Seeing how they had a good grasp of how the world works and had some certain powerful figures, the group that I had slain must be, at least, a decent one and a bit famous too, after all, they had such information on their hands.

I organized my thoughts and I finally found out that this world is called the 'Tianshan Realm' by humans.

Whilst uncovering piles of memories, I was getting confused, everything was becoming fuzzy, my sight was distorting, the voices of the people around me were sounding weird, ah.... that's right. I saw her, Mei Li. That was the name of the lass that let me stay in their home, what was she saying again? I can't seem to hear it anymore.

As Xi Luo tries to get his priorities straight, he notices something. It was a wide space, yet empty. There was no sound, no light, nor objects, not even traces of energy. Nothing.

It is as empty as empty as a void, when suddenly a bright light enveloped the place. Xi Luo was then taken aback due to the sudden event.

And in a short moment, various memories of different people flashed into his mind, some of which felt familiar to him, yet felt so foreign.

Such a thing shocked his mind and spirit, for when more and more memories came into mind, he realized that all those memories are from people that are very much similar to him, in all aspects!

Those people that were shown in his memories, those that had it, were people who had the same name as him, had the same face as him, body, personality, everything!

Although it might be subtle at some point, but Xi Luo noticed that they all had gained the privilege of being the "Greatest" or the "Strongest"!

Some of them were titled: "Sword God", "Scholar of The Dragons", "Heavenly Bagua", and so on and so forth...

Such things were new to him, but one thing that he took notice of the most is the fact that they were saying the same thing when they were at their deathbed. "Dragons shall return, the world shall break, the kings shall bow before me, await my return, for it is the day when everything will be done!". Having said that, they dissipated, leaving behind a pile of ash with a trace of a soul that was looking to return to its original vessel.

Meanwhile, in the real world, something huge was happening onto Xi Luo. Xi Luo was flailing and floating around in the air for some reason then, huge amounts of souls that came from nowhere started converging into him! His hair turned bluish silver moments later, his eyes opened and turned white for a moment before brimming with light as he looked above. As he emanated such an incredible amount of both killing intent and Qi, voices can be heard around him as the souls return to him.

The souls all slowly returned to him, Xi Luo's mouth was slowly opening and voicing out the same thing the souls said: "Dragons shall return, the world shall break, the kings shall bow before me, await my return, for it is the day where everything will be done!"

Upon saying that, Xi Luo was enveloped by a strange light, only to find out that this is something that would reel him into trouble again as this event is something the onlookers just can't pass by and ignore.

Moments later, the light dissipated, and Xi Luo came out with a dragon's insignia enveloping his entire body. The bluish silver hair disappeared and returned to the same old auburn hair.

With this, Xi Luo has now finally taken a step into the real world of cultivation. You can say at least that he is now finally a full - fledged cultivator. Although his cultivation base is not that strong yet, while he was enveloped in the strange light, his martial arts foundation was perfected and has reached the early stage- Qi Manifestation Realm.

Along with his strength that's multiple times greater than what it would usually be, but because of Xi Luo's unique situation, he has now gained a perfect foundation, remnants of his original power, and the experience of his past and future lives that achieved the pinnacle of such things while they were alive.

'Huh, what are they looking at?', I thought to myself as I watched these mortals looking at me in shock, perhaps it's about what happened earlier.

"You don't need to be afraid, I won't harm you." As I said it with a condescending tone, they were shaking in fear, and at last someone yelled: "Behind you!!!!!"

As I looked back to see what was going on, I was suddenly met with a fist in the face, right after I did it.

I was impacted quite seriously from that punch that I was flung several meters away from where I was. Luckily, I had enough strength as I had broken through, and I was able to at least block it. Luckily, none of the ordinary people were hurt from the impact.

But taking a closer look, that punch was really powerful, since my forearms were starting to bleed after that strike.

"My my~ Seems like we got a troublesome one here!" with a yell out of nowhere, he then proceeded to say some things with an arrogant tone. "I guess I should've demanded more money from that old man then! He never told me that this bitch is actually quite lively! After all, he did mention that this kid is related to the Frost Flower after all!!" with a scoff, he grinned at me and said: "Don't die on me now, kid!! I can't make good use of you if you die after all!" and with that said, he rushed to me with an open attack.

'I guess trouble finally started for real then. Let's see and test it out, whether this motherfucker will die or not, after I put my experience from my past lives to the test!!'
