Chapter 108 - Wang Tianshan (1/2)
”Grey, we have been running in. A straight line for the last 5 minutes. I don't feel like we are getting closer to civilisation. Our speed is already so fast that the wind can't keep up, and I have not seen a single building since we left those two bastards.” Blue constantly w.h.i.n.ed throughout the journey, like a child that asked 'are we there yet' every half a minute.
”Meh, we should be there soon enough I guess.” Simon casually glanced at Blue before going back to blankly staring in front of himself.
”Anyways, is Cultivation in this world like the usual Xianxia standard?”
”Yep. Same as everything you said earlier about realms.” Simon plainly answered,
”What about techniques?”
”Body arts, weapon arts, fist arts, movement arts, palm arts, cultivation techniques, and Special arts. That's really all there is to it. Unfortunately, I have only covered weapon arts, body arts, and movement arts. I will need some time to develop new ones to fit my needs.” Simon sighed.
”So what are you practicing then?” At this point, Blue was just bored and could only ask questions. Rather than scratching an itch, he would keep his mind thinking.
”Golden Tyrant Art, Wraith's Talons Art, and the Deceptive Displacement Art. I created them all myself.”
”You can create techniques? How good are they?”
”Well, I spent like an hour yesterday thinking up if I could universalise some techniques, and I ended up with those three. They can basically work anywhere.”
”How do you know that?”
”Hmmm…”
”Well, I can just rename them into something else if I need to. That makes them universal.” Simon shrugged his shoulders and gave a bored expression.
”Well truth be told, this is child's play for me. I know technique creation from the inside out. Every world plays by the same concepts, just in different words.”
”Wow, so profound.” Blue smirked somewhat mockingly.
”Ah, we are here now!” Simon abruptly stopped moving and pointed towards a large clearing in front of them. Hidden within the large forest, was such a beautiful place.
Who would have thought that they would just happen to find an obvious spot for a scene to take place.
”Blue, I don't see anyone there. What are we going to do? You know this more than me even though I am the one that gave you this mission.”
”The protagonist of the story starts off as an outer disciple of the famed Profound Jade Sect. As a person of average talent, other disciples tended to bully him for his cultivation resources. Because of this scene that we will witness soon enough, the protagonist will come to realise that he only has himself to blame for his apparent weakness. This leads to the protagonist training so hard that he becomes a peerless disciple.” Simon calmly explained.
In reality, Simon just wanted to observe what his story looked like in real life. Whatever happened would not really be too important to him, he only needed to find some resources to break though and then rescue the vice-leader.
”Oh look, someone is coming out of the thicket over there.” Blue pointed at the figure of a young man.
The young man looked like a supermodel from earth, bearing flawless skin and an unmatched complexion. Such a man could not be found just anywhere.
”Give me a second, I am going to invent a Cultivation technique. I just need a moment.” Simon stopped paying attention to the scene and began meditating.
”The guy is lying on the grass now. I don't see any sign of bullies though. This doesn't seem right… When do the bullies arrive? I want to see action, this trip has been boring enough as it is.” Blue pouted and crossed his arms menacingly.
”Done, this should be good enough until I have time tonight.” Simon began glowing a scarlet red aura as he continued to meditate.

'Wow, the system even converted to the local classification.'
”Did you literally just breakthrough from hardly a second of cultivation?” Blue's face became deadpan.
”Yes. This is completely normal. It becomes much harder at the later stages. But with this pace, it would still be quite a stretch to break through the Immortal stage. Cultivation isn't like cl.i.c.k.i.n.g your fingers and breaking through.”
”...”
”You literally just broke through in less than a minute.” Blue's face held an incredibly ugly expression.
”What stage are you at?” Simon asked.
”Core Formation 2nd layer.”
”I will figure something out for you later, partner.” Simon flicked Blue in the forehead playfully as he grinned warmly.
BADUMP
”Oe from?” An old and mysterious voice asked.
”Don't mind us… we are just wandering cultivators that happened to be taking a relaxing break over here. Cultivation is hard, you know?” Simon tried to casually wave the figure off.
”Do not try to wave me off. I am an immortal of boundless strength.”
