Zero_Things

Li Jun was cast out of his family after his father's death. Bullied by his cousins and robbed by his uncle, his upbringing was less than pleasant. Despite that, Li Jun tried his best to live a quiet life; he kept to himself and worked hard to earn a living.

However, fate dealt a cruel blow when a vicious attack left him unable to work again. Li Jun fell into despair. It was only through the selfless sacrifice of his devoted mother that a glimmer of redemption emerged as she sold off her final sliver of wealth to afford him a chance at a better life.

Just when all seemed lost, a mysterious silver ring, seemingly tossed from the hands of celestials, descended from the heavens. Upon receiving the celestial gift, Li Jun's life took a surprising turn.

As the layers of deceit peeled away, Li Jun found himself thrust into a web of lies that began to unravel before him. Compelled to untangle the enigmatic circumstances surrounding his father's demise and the orchestrated misfortunes that befell him, Li Jun strode on through the world of cultivation as the heavens trembled at his feet. He had seen a whisper of despair and vowed to never glance upon it again.

The Black Star Monarch

Li Jun lurched forward. A white glowing rock sat just a few meters away, it looked exactly like the woman had shown. It even had the rune engraved on one side.

Shen Yun gasped. She, too, couldn't believe it. What were the chances of them being transported to a spot next to a token?

Li Jun rushed forward towards it. He didn't want to give anyone else the chance to take it. However, he soon found himself forced backwards after his face smashed into an invisible barrier, preventing him from approaching.

"Didn't you hear what she said? The test won't begin until everyone has entered. I guess we have to wait until then." Shen Yun laughed. But if Li Jun had waited a moment longer before dashing off to grab it, she would have tried to take it instead.

They're watching, aren't they?
