...

Shun and his group approached the gate, stepping into the projected screen of light. At this instant, a mysterious energy landed on them all.

Shun only felt an incomparably powerful aura sweeping through his body, as though wanting to see through him completely.

This caused Shun to have a feeling that at the instant they stepped through the gate, some of those powerful existences on the other side, already knew of their existence.

"Bzz~" When Shun appeared again, he discovered himself standing in the air. He stared at everything before him only to feel huge waves rocking his heart. Kaguya and the others were nowhere to be seen despite Kaguya's orb protection.

"Is this place the badlands Kaguya spoke of?"

Shun murmured. He glanced around him, there was no one at all. For those who entered the islands together, they were actually all split up.

"Is this to prevent an invasion by any chance?" Shun wondered.

Maybe, this was the reason why the myriad islands could stand tall for countless years, being a safe haven for those on the evil path.

"The myriad islands huh, does that mean that there are millions of islands here?" Shun stared ahead as he muttered. From the air, he could see an incomparably vast island before him, as large as a main city of the immortal realms. He was unable to see the end of it with a single glance.

Also, this island was merely one island out of the countless islands here. Shun glanced at his surroundings from the air, there were many other islands all about.

These islands were just like the stars in the sky, countless in number. Each island was its own world.

"This is too mystical. Where are Kaguya, Hinami and Ria?" Shun sighed.

Shun stepped out, moving towards the island closest to him. Although it appeared very near, it was only because the size of the island was too big. In reality, there was still a distance away before he could reach it.

Given his speed, he arrived at the boundary of the island an hour later. When he reached here, he saw several people leaving the island, heading towards the horizons. Most probably, these people were heading towards the other devil islands.

"People. It's been some time since I actually stayed in a populated environment."

With a flash of his silhouette, Shun entered the island. This island was like an incomparably vast main city just from the feeling it gave him.

Staring at the crowds of people on the island, a strange expression appeared on Shun's face but his expression soon returned to normal.

There were countless people leading ordinary lives on the islands.

The Myriad Islands were like a world on its own, it had been there for countless years and the vast majority of people here were all focused on cultivating the techniques and arts of the chakra. Or at least that's what he thought.

Their personalities were likely more violent and tyrannical, but this didn't mean that all of them were evil characters.

"Seems like I must first have a stable footing on this Islands before I can protect my life." Shun mused silently.

When he thought of this, Shun stepped out, moving in the direction of the city on this island. He wanted to learn more about the current situation here first.

Shun's eyes were like lightning, easily able to see through the chakra levels of the people here. The vast majority were below the Million rankings, and several at the Million level.

He who was slowly walking around the island didn't attract any attention. He was just like an ordinary person.

The fighting on the island was truly much more frequent as Kaguya had said. This should be because all everyone here loved to prove themselves in hot-blooded fights. After all, cultivating in such an environment would cause one's personality to be more tyrannical.

After spending tens of days on the island, Shun slowly started to gain some understanding with regard to this place.

There were millions of islands here, all of them together were named the Myriad Deity Islands, and each island was helmed by either an extremely powerful organisation/sect or jointly governed by several equal powers.

Shun discovered that the energy in this part of the world was way too tyrannical and evil. Almost as though it was a mass of Yin natural energy.

This in turn gives the people here an evil air no matter how meek and kind looking they are. Making them tyrannical but still reasonable.

This particular island was governed by a sect named the Blackstone Valley. The Blackstone King was a supreme existence, the king of this particular island. His level of strength was at the king level, that's above the 200M level.

There were also other King-level existences on this island.

For this island that belonged to the Blackstone King, the island name would follow the title of the one ruling it. This was the rule of the Myriad Islands.

Those who lived here all had to submit under the governance of the Blackstone Valley.

In fact on this island, when Shun probed, only an extremely little amount of people dared to speak about the Blackstone King. It was like they were afraid of flouting some rules if they spoke of his name.

It was actually a 13-year-old girl who told him. At this moment in a certain courtyard on the island, Shun was quietly sitting there and there was a quick-witted young girl in front of him. She was very pretty and her name was Qin, or also known as Little Qin. She was a very kind character, causing Shun to be fond of her.

"Little Qin, are you talking nonsense to Mr. Shun again?" The sound of laughter rang out as a woman walked over. She looked to be around 27 to 28 years of age and when she smiled, she looked very gentle.

"Madam Mo." Shun stood up.

"Sir Shun, there's no need to be so polite. Yesterday, the lass Little Qin ran out alone. If it wasn't for your help, she might have already been abducted." The woman glared at Little Qin, but Little Qin only had a mischievous expression on her face. She laid in Shun's embrace and laughed, "Mother, if I didn't encounter danger, how would I get acquainted with Mr. Shun? This is called fate."

"Madam Mo, who are those people exactly? Why do they not spare Little Qin, who is merely a child." Shun frowned as he thought back to the events yesterday.

"How could there be any rules in the Myriad Islands? Those who have a connection with the Blackstone Valley are all rude and tyrannical, doing whatever they want. The people you met yesterday are from the Yama Clan, and a daughter of theirs is currently a disciple of the Blackstone Valley. So, the Yama Clan are like kings here, they will capture whoever they want to capture. That Yama Wuji is a vile beast, he cultivates a perverse devil art. He sucks the chakra of females he sleeps with rendering them cripple for live or even worse, dead."

Madam Mo furrowed her brows as she spoke to here, she was still a little worried as she continued, "Mr. Shun, you weren't followed here by anyone yesterday when you left, right?"

"I don't think so." Shun shook his head, he wasn't really paying attention.

"I hope you weren't tracked down, if not…" Madam Mo shook her head. "Little Qin, your father was killed back then when he fought against some others, this island is too chaotic. You shouldn't roam about recklessly and should focus on your training instead."

"Yes mother." Little Qin nodded. She naively looked at Shun and spoke, "Mr. Shun, yesterday you defeated all of them with just a single palm, your level base should be at the foundation level, right? Can you establish your your sea already?"

"I think so." Shun laughed.

"In that case, Mr. Shun you have to work harder. After my grandfather established his sea, he became an extremely awesome character."

"Mhm, Little Qin, tell me more about the things here in the Myriad Islands. You said that if I want to join the Blackstone Valley, I have to kill a disciple from there?" Shun asked.

"Mhm." Little Qin nodded. "The islands are all extremely cruel. If you want to rise up, you have to kill that person to replace his position. In fact…"

When she spoke to here, Little Qin's voice grew softer, "If Mr. Shun can kill the Blackstone King, you will then be the new Blackstone King."

"Little Qin." Madam Mo was pale. She knew sprouting random words of ignorance might get people killed here.

"Madam Mo, please rest at ease. I won't spread Little Qin's words around." Shun promised. Only then did Madam Mo nod her head.

But at this moment, Shun inclined his head and stared outside, only to see numerous figures shuttling over. When Madam Mo saw these people, her countenance instantly changed as she called out, "Elder brother."

"Slut, are you lonely after my younger brother died? You actually brought a man home? Catch the daughter of that slut and send her to Young Master Yama's Clan as a gift." The young man in the lead coldly spoke, causing Madam Mo's countenance to turn pale in an instant.

/////

This is the first chapter in Shun's adventure. I took some inspiration from cultivation novels and used sects and islands and even their level.

There is a qualitative change in quality and quantity of chakra after one breaks through the 10M. From there, the quality of their chakra sea determines the amount of chakra they'll get and whether they can become Kings.

For the -100M - Lords.

For the -200M - Kings.

For the -300M - Emperors

-400 - True Lords

-500 - True Kings

-600 - True Emperors

-700 - Lord Gods

-800 - Godkings

-900 - God Emperor

-1B+ - True God.

Hope y'all enjoy it. Tell me your thoughts before I continue tomorrow.

Further explanation will be given in the story.
