Chapter 1: Journey to the Sect (1/2)

*Bang*

Lightning struck the night when a lowly mortal started traveling in a forest for his journey to enter a sect.

This mortal, who finally reached the age of 15, is now an adult and qualified to enter a sect. Thus, he decided to apply for a third-rate sect, the Feather Wind Sect located in the Phoenix Kingdom.

While traveling, the rain continued to drizzle down from the dark and gloomy clouds.

”My luck sure is great to encounter this stormy weather when I decided to travel”, Yang Wei said while using his hand to wipe some of the rain off his forehead. His clothes are now soaking wet and starting to stick to his skin.

Yang Wei lost his parents at the age of 8 because they didn't receive proper treatment when they were sick.

His parents gave birth to him but he allowed their death to happen without being able to do anything. He hated himself for being weak and powerless, so he decided to become a cultivator.

Cultivators are people who defy heaven and logic to do unimaginable things such as splitting mountains apart and pulverizing lands or oceans.

Yang Wei thirst for power to not let another tragedy happen before his eyes. He applied to the Feather Wind Sect when he was nine years old.

But he failed to enter because his age was too young and because he did not have enough money to pay for the entry fee.

The cultivation world is cruel. However, his soul was from Earth and he was an adult before dying. Otherwise, he would have died a long time ago.

No normal child at the age of eight would be able to care for themselves alone once their parents had died. The shock and hopelessness would destroy their will to live.

Yang Wei has struggled for the past 7 years, doing all the odd jobs that other people aren't willing to accomplish to survive.

Yang Wei offended a cultivator when he was 8 years old. His naivety and sense of justice led him to the biggest error in his entire life.

Although he was in the right, that does not excuse his crime of being the one responsible for his parents' death when everyone refused to help their family.

He didn't blame it on the cultivator because it was his own fault for being weak.

”Just another 10km and I should see the entrance of Phoenix Kingdom.” Yang Wei gritted his teeth as he slowly splashed through the muddy water.

*Splash*

Yang Wei accidentally stepped into a huge puddle mixed with soft soil. His boot became drenched in disgusting water.

However, Yang Wei continued to walk because, during the night, beasts are active in hunting since they have a superior vision when compared to humans.

Yang Wei's appearance is extremely terrible, similar to a beggar, as his hair is in a mess and some stinky odor oozes out from him with this rain. It continued to worsen as time passed on since he traveled a long journey to be here from his small village.

Yang Wei lived in a small village, just 100km away from the Phoenix kingdom. The village is under the jurisdiction of the imperial family that rules over the kingdom.

The imperial family oversees almost every acre for thousands of kilometers and have authority over many sects, simply because they are the owner of the first-rate sect, the Phoenix Sky Sect.

Phoenix Sky Sect is the best sect in the world known to Yang Wei, in terms of knowledge. They have almost all the influential families rushing into the sect to send their talented youths to train there.

In the sect, they get cultivation resources and a Nascent Soul realm instructor. Yang Wei knows a Nascent Soul cultivator is powerful because the cultivator who thrashed him was only a 2nd stage Qi Condensation,

Yang Wei wanted to become a cultivator and with limited knowledge, he has studied in the library despite the hardship. He had to pay a fee to enter the library in his village.
