"The City of Antavale is a good city, Your Excellency! But it could not compare to the exquisite cuisine and premium liquors of a sect." Sect Master Caiden safely replied. He did not want to belittle the city of origin of this boy.
"I know that now, Sect Master Caiden. I also know that drinking is more fun when you share it with someone else." Maru said and smiled at the old man who joined him for a whole day of drinking.
"It is my job as a good host, Your Excellency!" Sect Master Caiden replied to the boy. He could determine that the seemingly weak and innocent boy before him was indeed a mighty cultivator. Comestibles such as this huge divine animal served in the table left of them would need at least a Human Realm Expert to digest or he may find himself exploding with
"Affirmative, Maru." the system complied with the boy's request and halted its noisy notifications."Please, Madame Ais." Maru said a full minute later."Affirmative, Maru." the system responded and the boy could feel his body automatically moved on its own. There was a rustle of clothes and then warm water touched his body with its refreshing caress. When Maru opened his eyes, he was now clothed with new garments and its comfortable clean fragrance soothed his delicate youthful skin."Don't let anyone come inside my room." Maru instructed Fade and Lucy."Yes, Maru."
"Why is that?" Fade uttered after three hours passed with ease. She turned her head and saw that Lucy had also met her stare with an unflinching gaze of her own. It was their first movement since they stood in the stifling confines of the castle."You and I are familiar with each other. The years of competitions between us raised animosity that cannot be quenched anytime soon. But here we are, fate has made fun of us to be together in this place and for how long, only the gods knew for sure. Who would have thought we'd end up this way, Fade?" Lucy said and there was amusement in her voice."What is your point, Lucy?" Fade replied and remembered the countless times they'd faced each other in the field of battle. This woman was almost 10,000 years older than she was but the
"What is this?" Lucy frowned when she saw five odd looking balls inside the box. She tried pinching the top part of the brown balls with a forefinger and delighted in its softness. I seemed to break if a heavier force would fall upon it. It was natural and unpleasing to the eyes but her curiosity got the best of her. Food was not meant to be looked at but eaten in full, she determined and prepared for the worst."OOHHHHH MYYYYY!" Lucy exclaimed after a ball levitated then dropped into her mouth."THIS IS...!!!" she thought while slowly discovering the effects of the seemingly ordinary spherical shaped food she was consuming."Soul Essence!" Lucy concluded as four balls followed their counterpart. Ho
"Hahh Hahhh Hahhhh..." the gasping of Tiny Slim was endless while trying to force air into his lungs. He was already face down on the ground after only five minutes of running."Run, Maru! Get away from here now! Go!" Tiny Slim convinced his friend to escape from this place. It was not a good place to be in. Their teacher allowed such discrimination and physical brawls as long as no one died in the skirmish. Their flawed reason was for a den of survivors and not a haven for peaceful learning.“HAHAHA! You can’t get away now, pig!” the group of boys caught up to them. They were almost a dozen of them now while a number of disciples stood outside the commotion and were content on watching the fun.
“Where is the Supreme Elder, Teacher?” Tiny Slim asked after he stood before his teacher. His head was bowed low but that did not stop his eyeballs from its continuous scan of the place. When his eyes connected to his new friend, he couldn’t help but smile in joy. It was nothing but good fortune for both of them that they hadn’t been beaten soft by those mischievous boys. At least, they were saved from punishment now. What Master Gregory would do to them after this, would be a totally different scene altogether.“FOOL!” the teacher roared once more and there was an intense impulse to smack this fat boy’s head but he kept his cool in the end. It was unbecoming of a man of his stature to do that, especially in front of this great character near him. Perhaps he could never even do that away from the knowin
“Why are you alone, Tiny Slim?” Maru asked after the two sat under a huge elm tree and did an instant picnic amidst the lovely garden around them. There was not a single ugly habitation within the sect. Everywhere showed the vitality of the heavens and the earth.“If only Uwyn could see this. HAHAHA! She might never want to leave.” Maru’s thoughts wandered back to his cherished sister.“I am not accepted much by the outer disciples, Maru. They bully me every day and it came to a point that I even want to kill myself to free from the misery that I repeatedly experienced. But when I remembered that I still haven’t seen my parents yet. I knew that I couldn’t die. Until then, I want to live!” Tiny Slim confessed to Maru an
In fact, Maru may indeed be one. Since he’d already tasted the delicious delicacies last night, he doubted that the food served for the outer disciples could compare to the sustenance he was used to already. He could have eaten with Tiny Slim here with the food suited for deities in the possession of Madame Ais but that would be an anticlimactic end for this day. But perhaps the fat boy would think otherwise if he knew of the chance he’d missed. Maru didn’t care.“I know a place, Maru. But that eatery is extremely expensive. Only the elders and the most influential people frequent that eatery.” Tiny Slim replied. He had only seen the place from the outside and has never even stepped a foot inside the establishment but judging from the characters that went in, it was a haven that catered only for the rich and mighty
“Really?! How is that possible, Madame Ais?” Maru’s young mind found it hard to comprehend such facts.“The probability of something possible to happen reaches 100% with enough data, Maru. In the end, nothing is impossible. Only the mind and its limited imagination restricts all life forms in these realms. For even a level 10 cultivator can be destroyed.” Madame Ais uncharacteristically imparted more wisdom than mere information.“…………….” Maru was speechless after that. He dwelled within his thoughts for his future and his family’s.“What’s wrong, Maru? You said you were hungry. Did I order too much?&rdquo
Maru was more than happy to take a break from everything—even from the responsibilities that came with his many wives and his realm-shaking reputation. Escaping into the mortal world for a time was like a breath of fresh air, a rare chance to experience life without the burdens of status and power.As he adjusted to this new identity, Maru sifted through the memories of the young man whose life he now occupied. The memories painted a bleak picture: this young Maru was impoverished, scraping by from a family with little to their name. For someone accustomed to wealth, influence, and resources beyond mortal comprehension, this was, to put it mildly, inconvenient."I’ll have to change that," Maru muttered to himself, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. He strolled down to the nearest gas station, where he purchased a lottery ticket with casual confidence. With a bit of energy concealed within a playful flick of his finger, he ensured that fate would work in his favor. A week la
A trillion years had passed, and Maru had truly ascended to the highest plane of existence, becoming the undisputed master of the multiverse. He had mastered every grand dao, and his name was whispered across countless realms as the supreme ruler.The laws of reality bent to his will, and even the flow of time itself was nothing more than a tool for his amusement.The past, present, and future were his to shape as he saw fit, and the myriad daos—once elusive and untamable forces—had become his loyal servants, bowing at his feet.No corner of existence was beyond his reach. Universes rose and fell on his whims, stars burned bright and were extinguished with a mere thought, and entire civilizations either flourished or crumbled at his command.Maru's power was absolute, his authority unmatched, and yet, after countless eons of this existence, he found himself feeling something he had not anticipated—boredom.He had seen it all, lived through it all. Every challenge the multiverse had to
In a mystical world within the body of an immortal, a great ruckus was happening. “Master! It has appeared once again!” A good disciple knelt on the floor. He prostrated before his teacher which had given him his everything in short. This very man had saved him in the past and until this day, he has not forgotten his pledge of allegiance and service to this person. The disciple was content in doing so. He had no ambitions for himself, only to the happiness of his benefactor. To call him a slave was much more fitting than a disciple in this day and age. “Gather all your brothers and sisters. We shall go at once.” An aged man answered with a serious face on him. He was old and full of wrinkles. His age almost to the limit of what could be achieved with his cultivation base. Nevertheless, the majesty of his stance was a perfect picture of what a true powerhouse truly was. This man had been alive on this world for more than one thousand years already. It was both an accomplishment i
“Speak.” An old dying voice replied. His body seemed ancient alongside the timeless aspect of his voice. Perhaps the only consolation that could be found on him today was the quality of his cultivators robes. At first glance alone, anybody that has eyes could easily determine that it was not made of poor materials at all. This old man was of course the master of Dragon Conqueror Pavilion. “There was a group of people looking a specific cultivation manual earlier, master. They wanted Soul Birth Realm training scrolls.” Kong Jin reported. She knew that the implications of her words would not be lost on his smart master. And indeed it was not. “DING!” The old man opened his eyes and one could notice the blazing fire in them. The atmosphere in the room immediately surged up and this has made the beautiful Kong Jin tremble in place. But reaction was not out of fear but surprisingly because of her extreme excitement. Thousands of sexy ladies like her dreamed to hug the thick thigh of t
The team arrived into the city of Aren way more than just 3 days. In fact, it took them almost 1 week before they saw the mighty gates that protected the place.But after the initial excitement, Maru and company was not anymore harassed by anyone on the road.It appeared like news has traveled fast about the demise and fall of one very strong Core Origin Realm at the hands of our very own protagonist.The weary adventurers got inside the city of Aren and enjoyed a well deserved rest thereafter.Ye Lim went to sell the extra items they got off the loot while Maru was already busy thinking ahead. He was not one to waste his time at all.“I want you to gather information about a cultivation technique for Soul Birth Realm Culti
“HAHAHA! I’ve been alive on this world for hundreds of years and had seen smart tongues like you in legion. I will enjoy watching you suffer in pain, dumb young maggot.”The newly arrived Core Origin Realm Cultivator promised darkly unto our very own protagonist. Maru took this threat in silence.He would of course not waste his breath upon somebody who did not heed his advice from the start.“Kill every single one of them but leave the foolish young master alive.” The Core Origin Realm Cultivator instructed his minions.“Hehehe. You can count on us, master!” The band of robbers replied in chorus.“DING!” Alas, a sudden change came before anyone could move from this point forward.“AHHHHHHHHHH!” A pillar
“Please take care on your way, Hong’er.” Ye Hanya said unto her son.Even though she knew that Ye Hong was already more than capable enough of taking care of himself but it was always a mother’s job to worry for her young one.She really could not be blamed for that at all.“I will, mom.” Maru smiled at his mother. He then looked at Ye Jia and nodded at his old man.The latter was a lot more confident and composed than Ye Hanya and it could be seen from this act alone on how Ye Jia became the Patriarch of Ye after all these years.His strong character was only the least of his myriad qualities. “Let’s go, Yin Lan.” Maru called and before long, a beautiful woman p
Maru arrived at the Ye domains. At once glance, he could see that there were more people inside it than when he left. It was obvious that there were more homeless and poor citizens of Whitecrest who chose to seek refuge in the clan. His parents Ye Jia and Ye Hanya knew of their son’s heart and thus gladly accepted to feed and give shelter to these people. From the initial 1,000 hapless souls, the count had already five fold at this time. Fortunately for all, the expense of having these families was too insignificant for the rich Ye family. But if these 5,000 men, women, and children were to be cultivated then that was a whole nother matter entirely. Resources like spirit stones were extremely limited even for a big clan like the Ye. “It’s been two long years, huh?” Maru smiled and began walking in slow steps towards the large
A year passed in no time. Maru remained seated in the void and continued to refine the extreme power of the sun.He needed no more physical supplements like food in order to survive since what sustained a Soul Birth Realm Expert was the natural panacea for the soul.These priceless treasures may be found in divine lands or they could be artificially nurtured through the creation of magical pills.Thus, the times when our restless traveler would devour several tables of food was already long gone into the past.“BANG!”999,997th Stage of Soul Birth Realm!“BANG!”999,998th Stage of Soul Birth Realm!“BANG!”
