34th SS - A War God's Journey To Immortality Part 1

Luo Xingyun of Sky Qilin Kingdom was a seasoned war veteran respected by all. At the mere age of 20 years old, Xingyun had shown commendable courage and bravery in defending the kingdom from countless enemy attacks and was promoted to the ranks of General.

After that, General Xingyun led the kingdom's army to win several more battles and soon was revered by the citizens of Sky Qilin Kingdom as a war hero. Years later, General Xingyun had finally destroyed the enemy kingdom of Sky Qilin Kingdom, Poison Lion Country and was bestowed the title of Brave Sky War God by his own kingdom.

2 years later…

While General Xingyun was training his Brave Sky Legion in the Icicle Wasteland, a sudden battle between righteous sects and demonic sects erupted several kilometers away from them.

Before the start of this battle, there was a rumor circulating around Icicle Wasteland that a heavenly treasure was about to be born. According to the visual phenomena found around the cave where the heavenly treasure was going to appear, the high level alchemists from various powerful sects have all concluded that the heavenly treasure appearing this time was a Nine Transformation Phoenix Grass.

Once consumed by an old, dying cultivator, the person would gain the ability to go through samsara like the mythical king of birds, a phoenix. Of course, despite it being only a rumor, the various righteous and demonic sects still decided to send out their disciples to verify this matter themselves.

And once the battle started, the shockwaves emanated from cultivators unleashing their secret arts and treasured artifacts were so strong they laid waste to everything within a 500 kilometer radius. Thus, even the camp of Brave Sky War God along with his Brave Sky Legion were blown flying into the horizon.

Although the troops of Brave Sky Legion have experienced numerous life and death battles within the last 2 years under General Xingyun's leadership, they were still caught off guard when a multi-sect battle erupted near them. In their mortal eyes, cultivators were myths and legends while the latter viewed them as ants, a flip of their hands were enough to turn a battle hardened mortal army into meat paste.

So, when General Xingyun along with his soldiers fell from the sky, of the original 50 thousand strong army, only one fifth of the original amount survived the incredibly high fall. The rest of the soldiers had turned into meat paste and died on the spot the moment they hit the hard, icy ground. But it was also thanks to the mountain of meat paste that softened the fall for the 10 thousand surviving members of their legion.

On the other hand, when General Xingyun was blown flying by mere shockwaves of a multi-sect battle, he was swept away by the wind and found himself crashing into a pool of crystal clear water afterwards. But since he was falling from an extremely great height, the pool of crystal clear water failed to soften his fall and instead made him even more pain. Along with his broken limbs and bones, General Xingyun finally passed out from the pain after he felt like he was thrown into glass when his body made contact with the surface of the pool of water.

Several days later…

When General Xingyun woke up, he found that the pool of crystal clear water that he landed in had now dried up and that his injuries and scars he accumulated from the countless wars have all disappeared.

"I don't know what happened, but since I'm fine, I better start looking for my legion. They may not be as lucky as me." Xingyun got up before deciding on a direction and began his journey back.

On the way back to his destroyed campsite, Xingyun noticed that his 5 senses had become better now. Even without squinting his eyes, he could already make out a snail crawling on a piece of burnt bark a hundred meters away. Another example was that Xingyun was able to sprint as fast as the wind or that he could crush rocks with his bare hands. Moreover, Xingyun was unfazed as he walked through a blizzard without even shivering once.

Despite not knowing what had happened while he was knocked out, Xingyun could at least tell that the pool of crystal clear water must have been a type of heavenly treasure. Besides having an incredible medicinal property, the pool of water might have also boosted his physical prowess past the realm of mortals.

"Maybe, just maybe…I might be able to become an apex cultivator thanks to this magical water. Hm, just maybe though." Xingyun inwardly laughed to himself as he recalled the insane display of power shown by cultivators. "Even if I was bestowed the title of Brave Sky War God by my people, I'm nothing but an ant in the eyes of the real gods…..this is going to be a thorny path towards the apex."
