Chapter 2: Taking a stroll
Chapter 2: Taking a stroll
After calming down I know that panicking is not going to solve my problems so I got my shit together and tried to come up with some sort of plan.
If this plane has a son of the plane that has the luck of plane I have to look at it smartly. With this in mind I came up with some points:
1. I have to find him and find a way to kill him slowly; why slowly? Dude he is collecting treasures left and right, “you only butcher the fat sheep”.
2. He is probably starting from a weak continent, so I have to somehow convince the sect to let me go on a journey.
3. He would probably find powerful backing from a lover/ghost teacher or something so I have to keep my eyes open for this situation.
4. I have to form a team of myself; although I have the sect’s backing in the end I have to prove myself to get their loyalty so have to come up with a feasible plan of action.
…
With this, I had a sketch of the plan. From what I can remember I have a day off today from training so it would be nice if I check the sect out.
While I was putting my clothes on I checked my cultivation base.
In his Qi cultivation, Huang got to the eighth stage of Qi Gathering. Qi Gathering is the first big realm in Qi cultivation and has 9 small realms.
The fact that he is in the eighth stage of Qi Gathering is not that shocking; there are many geniuses that achieved this and even more. But what you have to remember is that he only trained in Qi cultivation for two years. I’m also at the third stage of Silver Body and in these past two years.
Putting my chief disciple robes on I walked out of my room.
Although I saw glimpses of this view from the memories but experiencing it is something else.
The heavenly sword sect is divided into four main courts: outer court where outer disciples live; inner court where inner disciples live; core court where true disciples and core disciples live and finally Sword mountain where elders, grand elders, the patriarch, the matriarch, and also chief disciples live.
No need to guess, my courtyard is in Sword mountain. The plus side is that here you have more privacy and also the heavenly spirit vein here is stronger so you can cultivate faster, But there is that all the big guys of the sect are on your ass.
It’s not like I’m doing something but just imagine that your grand-grand-grandpa is watching you; won’t you be scared shitless about doing something somehow wrong that makes him disappointed in his descendant?
Man having a cultivation world’s mentality really got to me. Nothing can be done about it; my transmigration is different from what I have read in my past; there is no border between Huang and me. It’s like “Li Huang” is “Me”. The fact that we both have the same face and body also helped me to calmly accept this fact. If you must know, yes, even my “little brother” is the same, although the performance needs to be checked.
Walking down from the Sword mountain I was smiling and greeting some elders until I heard a shout from my behind.
“Junior Martial Uncle Li Huang.” said the red blur.
Looking closely I could distinguish two hands stretching out towards me.
Now that I think about it Huang always had a problem with this “red blur” slamming to him in order to hug him.
With a quick thought, I activate my third stage Silver body and try to match the “red blur” momentum but to the side.
This shocked the assailant, thinking that I’m running away there was a momentary carelessness and I used that moment.
Extending my own hands and taking the assailant’s wrists with my hands I recreated one of my favorite scenes in the history of cinema.
My momentum made it so that we started rotating on the air hands-to-hand in the same place. We were rotating as one entity, always facing each other.
After a few seconds, we landed on the ground. Thinking to myself smugly I told myself ‘How many can say that they recreated “Neo’s subway fight” in a cultivation world?’. pleased with my achievement I did a mental check ‘another check off my bucket list’.
Running my finger through my hair to fix them, I looked at the figure in front of me. This “red blur” is Hu Anjing. She is Yuan Jia’s disciple. She is 25 and has been Yuan Jia’s disciple for about 6 years. She is at the twelfth stage of Meridian formation.
In the past two years because I was training under Yuan Jia I got to know her. She is super-strong, in body cultivation she is already at the fourth stage of Iron body; two big realms above me.
Huang achieved the third stage of the Silver body with the best methods and resources but she was at the first stage of the Copper body back then when she joined the sect, if this is not a genius I don’t know what is.
From what I know she was trained to be some kind of soldier for an organization from childhood. To keep them in line they were fed some kind of pill and with a technique, they were unable to harm their masters.
In one of her missions, her master had some beef with the target and opted to see his misery and trash talk to him like some shounen villain. This in turn gave Hu Anjing the chance to “let the target” give her master a fatal wound.
A big flaw in the technique is that although she can’t harm her master, she can “choose” not to help him, this way he was soon dead, and the spell was broken.
After that, she was on the run from the organization and after 6 months she found Yuan Jia by chance and assumed that she was someone after her head so she attacked her. Do I even have to say that she got her ass handed to her by Yuan Jia in no time? Well, she did.
Seeing her talent and her will to fight Yuan Jia asked her why she attacked her. Hu Anjing seeing that she is not from the organization and she herself has no way out, told her everything.
Hearing her tale, Yuan Jia’s motherly instincts came out and she hugged her tightly. After that, she helped Hu Anjing to heal and after a short contact with the sect, they stormed the organization’s locations. As a high-ranking soldier, Hu Anjing knew many branches of the organization and for the other hidden location, the sect had some experts in the art of “kindly tell us what you know” so there wasn’t much of a problem.
After these night raids, the powers behind the organization were pale as a sheet. They were “powers” but they were like ants in front of Heavenly Sword Sect, one of the seven martial cultivation Holy Lands.
They couldn’t fight Heavenly Sword Sect and they couldn’t deny their involvement with the organization because there were proofs of this in the raided locations. So they did the next best thing, they joined the crusade. They hold public execution for the secret operatives of the organization and sang songs of praise to the Heavenly Sword Sect.
With this there was no need for the sect to do anything more, these powers did it for the sect. There was even a kingdom changing its ruling dynasty as a result of these tensions.
Well, in short, the world was in turmoil but the sect was quiet and Hu Anjing joined the sect as Yuan Jia’s disciple.
Coming back from my thoughts I tried to fix Hu Anjing’s robe. She had red eyes with wild red hair. There was a dragon tattoo on her right shoulder and arm. She doesn’t put on the right part of her outer robe, showing her tattoo.
“Aiya, junior niece Hu Anjing are you set on breaking my bones?” I faked a pained expression and told her.
She looked at me like an aggrieved child “How can I mean my dear uncle any harm? It’s just that I was so excited to see you that the only thing on my mind was to jump in your embrace.” Saying so she closed the small distance between us and without care clung to my arm.
I deadpan looked at her “you see me as a cuddle bear, don’t you?”
“I don’t know what you mean, I’m just a small girl cuddling her uncle”
Just as I wanted to say ‘you know you are 25, right?’ I shut my mouth. I swear I saw her grinning. ‘So it was her plan huh.’
You know that you shouldn’t comment on a lady’s age and more so a single lady. Now let me tell you in a cultivation world all I can say is I hope you don’t do it.
I still get goosebumps when I remember the face of the one who not only did so, but also insulted her when she was present.
There was a guy who had a thing for Hu Anjing but she didn’t give a rat’s ass about him after ten or so times that he was rejected/ignored/thrown away with a punch he had enough of her and called her ‘stupid old gorilla’.
Well… he got fucked. The End.
Feeling defeated I clicked my tongue “tsk, this is child abuse.” I mean how can I free myself when she is stronger than me?
She just hummed to herself.
It’s not like I’m not getting good vibes from her, it’s just that she acts like a child when clearly I am the child… well if you count my past life I’m not a child either.
Who cares? If nothing she is shooing away all the gold diggers- oh it should be “cultivation resource/manual digger”.
Just as I was thinking of useless translations for cultivation purposes, Hu Anjing exclaimed.
“Ah, I just remembered that master had something to tell you, junior uncle.”
“Don’t you think you should have said it sooner? won’t senior sister Yuan Jia punish you?”
She gave me a mischievous smile “don’t worry junior uncle if it came down to that I would tell the master that I was with you.”
“Sigh… I don’t know if you are stopping other junior sisters from using me or using me for yourself…”
I continued after a few seconds “Anyway, let us go to senior sister Yuan Jia.”
It must be something about the sect that she asked for me to go to her otherwise she would give me a visit herself.
