Chapter 2 (1/2)

Ye Yun activated the Art of the Nine Revolutions Essence and started to continuously absorb the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth. The Qi flowed around him and swirled into gusts of wind.

The light green glow on him that was usually only visible at night became more intense despite the daylight as his soul gradually condensed into a solid form. But Ye Yun wasn’t aware of any of this as he was focused on his cultivation.

The flow of Qi around him started to expand further from him, intensifying into a mysterious concentration of Qi.

A few kilometers away, a child who was playing with a puppy after practicing his fist technique suddenly stopped and looked at the willow tree.

——

A pair of clear eyes blinked as the child’s delicate porcelain-like face was turned towards the willow tree.

Strange, how could there be such a mysterious Qi flow that he had never come encountered before? Shi Hao was puzzled.

The energy of the Qi flow reminded him of the energy of the Bone Text he was first introduced to.

But, why was it being emitted from the willow tree?

No, it can’t be… This village had been guarded by the willow tree guardian spirit for generations. How could it…?

Could something have happened?

The black-haired child with the delicate porcelain-like face slowly walked towards the willow tree in confusion, still staring intently.

Shi Hao carefully observed the willow tree and circled it many times, but he still could not find the source of the mysterious Qi flow.

It didn’t seem like the guardian spirit had appeared abnormally. Nothing else about the willow tree seemed amiss.

Shi Hao became even more confused. Could he be wrong?

But the Qi flow seemed to be closer to him now.

Shi Hao sat cross-legged beside the guardian spirit and carefully observed it.

Little did Shi Hao notice that the emerald grass sprawled out under the tree was being enveloped by a light green glow and that the strange Qi flow he had been wondering about was coming from that glow.

The instant Ye Yun opened his eyes, he was almost scared out of his wits – he suddenly noticed a huge shadow covering him.

“How bad could being a blade of grass be?” Ye Yun complained sarcastically in a low voice.

After calming himself down, Ye Yun realized that the shadow over him was from a small child.

The child who was playing with the puppy earlier.

A child’s body was not big, but for a blade of grass like Ye Yun’s current form, the child was like a giant.

Enough with the distractions. The most important thing now was to cultivate and gain a human form.

Eventually, Ye Yun’s form started to grow and the child did not seem as big as before.

Ye Yun couldn’t see the child’s face before, but now he could see the quasi-black hair draped over the shoulders; the fair and smooth skin; and the clear and bright eyes.

As he continued observing, he noticed that the child’s weak and small body contained a surge of hidden energy.

Ye Yun stared at Shi Hao in confusion. He couldn’t find a character like him anywhere in the novels he was usually familiar with.

Perhaps he was just another ordinary child character cultivating in this world.

Ye Yun did not think much about it as he kept on watching the child circle the willow tree and bury his head in all sorts of places to search. Ye Yun was filled with confusion, but he did not speak.

Right now, he was just a blade of grass, or maybe a medicinal herb.

If he suddenly made his voice heard by the child, the latter might think that Ye Yun was a spiritual herb with cultivated vitality and could be harvested and consumed as a tonic. Now, wouldn’t that be dreadful?

He had to figure out what world he was in before making his next move.

It never hurt to be a little more cautious.

Ye Yun ignored Shi Hao and closed his eyes again to continue cultivating.

As Shi Hao was investigating, another child noticed his behavior and ran over, more curious about what Shi Hao was looking for than the mysterious Qi flow.

“Hey, little guy. I noticed that you have been circling the guardian spirit. Are you looking for something? Tell me, I’ll help you.”

One of the children spoke with a tender voice. But to Ye Yun, it sounded like thunder rumbling.

Little guy… guardian spirit… willow tree…

These keywords stuck out to Ye Yun and he felt like his worldview had just been shaken! An almost unbelievable thought appeared in his mind.

Could it be that he was in ‘Perfect World’?
