Heaven Chasing Sword Manual

When Jian Zheng woke up he saw himself lying on a lonely tree. He first observe his surroundings to see that he was in a place filled with green.

He sighed, "I should be out of the desert." The green was naturally grass and this much grass would never be found in a desert.

He checked himself to see that he still had his sword, relieved that he still had Scarlett he could now relax.

Even though Scarlett haven't spoken to him in half a month which left him quite angry, he still cared a great deal for her since their relationship was that of friends, 'actually is she even my friend? Our relationship is quite complicating.' Jian Zheng still remember how Scarlett said she would eat him up when he turn 18 which made him blush.

He then remembered the Soaring Cloud Sword Art he got from Xue Yi and checked his clothes to see that it was gone.

He frowned as this technique was important for him. As he thought of this, memories that doesn't belong to him surge into his mind.

He went unconscious as he saw himself in an ancient battlefield. On this battlefield he saw thousands of men battling to the death, heads flew, peoples limbs were cut off instantly, bodys turned into a pool of blood and some even disappeared at the hands of strange techniques.

When he looked into the sky he saw that there were beings who gave off a different aura. They felt like they didn't belong to this world and when he looked closer, he saw that the cultivators were fighting these beings.

Soon one of the beings raised a hand and a sun was formed in his hand. It looked like a large ball that was filled with endless energy that didn't seem like spiritual energy.

The flaming ball cover the entire world as it spread all over. Jian Zheng felt like if this was thrown down then the world would be destroyed.

As he thought of that. The man threw down the blazing sun and the earth uproot, lava erupted out of no where and the sky was destroyed, revealing the void.

Cultivators were burnt to death as millions died in that instant leaving only a few whose cultivation seemed to have reached the peak of the world.

The sun came down like a meteor, ready to blast this world into bits. But just as it was about to do so, the sky that vanished reappear again as millions of clouds form around the sun. The clouds them turned into cold mist that froze the sun.

The frozen sun then shattered as a blast of hot and cold air blew, creating a world of frost at the south and a world of heat in the north.

A man appear in the sky, staring at the man who released the sun. The man appearance was very ordinary and his white robes fluttered, unable to be damaged from the heat or cold.

On top of this man head, seven small clouds rotate like a crown. These clouds gave off endless power and this was the reason the man dare to stand in front of the being who released the sun.

The man and the otherworldly being clashed with each other causing casualties amongst the otherworldly beings. Soon there was only the being and the man and a few cultivators of this world.

The two stopped fighting and only stared at each other. Giving the cultivators some breathing room.

After three breaths the man then unsheathed a sword that was on his waist. When this sword came out the world changed as the laws of this world enter the sword. The clouds on his head rotate quicker and a power that doesn't belong to this world erupt.

The man made a simple slash with his sword as the slash created a beautiful ark filled with rainbow light.

The otherworldly being roared as his palm burn with a small sun that actually had the same power as the sun he released before.

The sun palm and the rainbow light clashed and then the world changed. Creating a new era, the era known as the Destined Era.

Jian Zheng woke up again with beads of sweat dripping down his forehead, "Did I just look into that old man's memories?" Remembering the crazy old man that forced him to be his inheritor he exclaimed in shock.

"That kind of power... is something I shouldn't have known." He placed his hand on his face as his entire body went pale. Those attacks and techniques were something that could easily crush him yet he actually managed to witness such a thing.

He became paler as his head was in immense pain, more memories entered his mind. These memories belonged to the old man, showing his life from he was just a fetus until he died.

These memories also showed his battle experience and techniques, but none of them were useful to Jian Zheng as the old man was actually a body cultivator.

"So that little one actually found me an inheritor." A voice entered Jian Zheng head and an aura envelop him. His aura went from a simple mortal to an ancient aura and his eyes that showed his youth turn sharp and mature.

Another memory went into his head, showcasing the man who had seven clouds above his head. It showed his life, the companions and lovers he made and also his battle experience that was actually quite useful to him.

All of a sudden he entered his consciousness that only had a sky filled with clouds. The clouds moved towards a specific location in his consciousness. He followed the clouds and after 2 hours he saw seven clouds rotating in a circle, "The Heavenly Clouds?" Startled Jian Zheng moved a bit closer and only stared at the seven clouds.

When he move closer he saw a manual on the ground in the middle of the rotating clouds.

"Heaven Chasing Sword Manual - 7 Clouds Transcend the Heavens." He exclaimed as his and another voice intertwine with one another.

He looked at the Manual in a daze when a pair of hands wrap around him, "Do you miss me?" A seductive whisper entered his ears as he felt soft breathing on his skin.

He snapped out of his daze and turned around to see Scarlett staring at him with a loving and hungry gaze.

"Scarlett-" He let out a gentle smile as its been half a month since he last saw her. He walked up to her and was about to say how much he missed her when his lips were covered with her own.

She wrap her arms around his neck, tightly holding onto him not daring to let him go as if afraid of losing him.

They stayed like that for two incense before Scarlett reluctantly let go. Her gaze still containing gentleness and love.

"I see you're back to your old personality." Jian Zheng held her little waist as he look into her eyes.

"Hm? I never changed my personality." Scarlett blinked at him which urges him to give her a spank.

He thought about it for a while which led him to blush, 'I'm too young for such inappropriate things.' He told himself in a righteous tone as to not succumb to this bewitching witch.

"Were you thinking of spanking me?" Scarlett sweet smile made him gulp, "Do you know that many wouldn't dare think of such things in front of me?" She continued with her enticing voice that sounded like melodies in his ears.

"No." Jian Zheng redirect his gaze to somewhere else, clearly not willing to admit to his indecent thoughts.

Jian Zheng flustered face that looked like a person being caught doing a crime made Scarlett giggle, "If you continue seducing me I really wouldn't mind doing this and that with you." Hearing her giggling, Jian Zheng said with a lustful glare, the more Scarlett tease him in this manner, the more he felt he was losing control of himself.

I'm a young growing boy god dammit!The instant Scarlett saw his gaze she stopped giggling and move a few distance away from him. His eyes made her believe he would truly spank her.

Jian Zheng took in a deep breath to calm his heart and mind, "Do you know about these seven clouds in my mind space?" He asked while pointing at the floating clouds that revolve around each other.

"No." Scarlett answered honestly which startled Jian Zheng, "Aren't you from some higher world or something?" He questioned feeling that she wasn't telling the truth.

"Do you think beings from the higher realms pay any attention to mortals?" Scarlett roll her eyes in disdain, "the qi in this place is trash and the so called 'battle techniques' are worlds apart from my world." Scarlett continue with a disgusted smile, "I standing here is already me being merciful."

Jian Zheng listened on to what Scarlett said with a still face, 'Is this how the so called higher beings behave as well?' He thought before ignoring Scarlett.

He approached the manual and saw that there were seven lines with two having the color of white and violet, "These two lines should be the two Soaring Cloud Sword Arts that i have obtained." He quickly came to conclusion, "But does that mean that there are actually seven different parts?"

"If so then the only way to learn the Heavens Chasing Swords is if I collect all seven arts." He mumbled to himself with uncertainty.

He was only able to obtain the two of them by chance. There are five more and who knows where they could be located, "Lets just leave it up to fate, if fate allows it then it can only means that it is my destiny to truly inherit the Heavens Chasing Sword Manual." He told himself with calm eyes, he wasn't worried that he wouldn't be able to collect the rest of the Soaring Cloud Sword Art. After all, he still haves the Conquering Lightning Sword Art which origins are unknown.

The rainbow light may look powerful when yielded by that mysterious expert and it made Jian Zheng excited for the future, but who knows what it holds? Who knows if he would even survive long enough to collect all seven sword arts. Cultivating isn't a game after all. As there's multiply risk on the road to become strong.

With that in mind, Jian Zheng turned his eyes away from the manual to see Scarlett staring at him deeply, "Were you reading my mind?" Jian Zheng expression changed, he have never read Scarlett mind as he always thought it was inappropriate to do such a thing to a girl, but Scarlett wasn't like him and always go through his mind like it was a daily walk in the park.

"When you turn 18 I have a gift for you." Scarlett sighed then walked away from Jian Zheng sight, "Oh, and hurry up and breakthrough to the Body Transformation realm already! Aren't you some peerless genius that is only born every one million years? Stop idling and work hard!" Scarlett left with a grunt which made Jian Zheng expression turn ugly.

"What is wrong with her? Did her old personality emerge again?" Jian Zheng shook his eye, "She is right though, but I need to get to the third stage in the Scarlet Phoenix Sword Art before breaking through." From what he remember, if he were to breakthrough to the next realm before reaching the third stage in the sword art then the next stages will not be revealed.

Although the Scarlet Phoenix Sword Art is an sword art it doesn't contain any techniques. Instead it only add phoenix tears to his dantian which can boost the power of his sword whilst also giving abilities that enhance his body.

"It should be called Phoenix Endeavors instead." A phoenix goal is to achieve immortality and if he's correct them this technique should be about having the ability to be reborn after death.

"Wait, that old man- no that ancestor grandpa said that the person who made this died after creating it so does that mean he was reborn somewhere else?"

"Wait since I can cultivate it does that also mean I am his incarnation?!"

"Am I that Ancient Ancestor?!?!?!"

The more he thought about it the more he felt his mind was about to explode. He stared at the seven clouds feeling shocked with an unbelievable face.
