Chapter 1 – Crystal Stone
Chu Kingdom, Cloud Mountain Sect
On the hills above the Sect gate are scattered sporadic houses.
Here are the Cloud Mountain Sect’s “Outer Sect Disciple’s” stations.
In one simple and crude room, in the interior of a house, can be seen a trace of hazy lighting.
“This crystal stone’s material, truly unprecedented……”
A fourteen or fifteen year old black clothed young man, holding a piece of exotic crystal jade, can’t help uttering a gasp.
The juvenile’s appearance is somewhat young and immature, but neat and able to stand a careful appreciation, and a pair of eyes bright and clear.
At present, his expression is excited, as he’s staring at a piece of crystal jade he’s holding.
That crystal jade, sparkling and translucent, oddly shaped, is about the size of a small infants palm, has a surface layer of deep grey l.u.s.trous crystal.
Suddenly while looking, it seemed like an exquisite crystal heart.
Under the lighting.
Mysteriously the crystal stone’s depths had occasionally gold and silver intertwined, and from time to time it was multi-colored, b.l.o.o.d.y light rippling…… it seemed to infer every color in the world! [note: ‘every color’ might be ‘every element’]
“Extremely magical, this strange stone is worthy of coming with ‘Spatial Meteorite Iron’……”
Chen Yu was hardly able to suppress his excitement.
The teenager named Chen Yu, this year less than 15 years old, was Cloud Mountain Sect’s lowest rung Outer Sect Disciple.
An hour before。
A meteor, landed at Cloud Mountain Sect’s surrounding edge, immediately dust sprang up everywhere, with the earth shaking all around it.
For a moment, the sect top and bottom, shook from it.
Because in the meteor’s landing pit, appeared 6 rarely seen “Spatial Meteorite Irons”!
Spatial Meteorite Iron, that is an exceedingly precious refiner material; of the legendary magic weapons, many use Spatial Meteorite Iron.
Normal weapons, should they be refined together with Meteorite Iron fragments, might let normal weapons successfully transform to artifacts.
Chen Yu’s luck was really good!
At the time, he was by chance in the Spatial Meteorite Iron’s decent area’s vicinity.
Immediately separated by 0.5 km, he was when the meteorite landed, which produced a dust shock wave which hit him, and his arm received minor injuries.
After the event.
The Sect high level law enforcers hurried over, then first took time to blocked off the area.
The result was those disciples in close range gathered meteorite iron fragments, all to ‘hand over’ for the benefit of the sect.
Chen Yu was in contrast further and gathered up two thumb sized meteorite fragments that were overlooked.
Not only that, but.
Chen Yu in addition gathered up one scattered, residually warm, crystal stone, moistly stuck together with the s.p.a.cial meteorite iron.
That is how he now held the crystal stone!
“Meteorite iron landed, entirely shattering into pieces yielding this piece of crystal stone that unexpectedly came out unscathed?”
Chen Yu gaze glittered.
He had a growing intuition, this crystal stone’s value, absolutely beyond imagination, so much so that possibly, it could alter one’s own destiny from ranking at the Sect’s lowest rung……
Simply, to think of his personal existence in the Sect and situation, the teenager’s expression was slightly gloomy.
Chen Yu has put into Cloud Mountain Sect nearly three years.
Barely entered the sect, when he was only 12 years old, he used the clan cultivation he stepped into “Forged Body Stage”.
Forged Body Stage, as the name implies, is just like to strike and endure with the body, enhancing the vitality, and to become a genuine Martial Dao cultivator and establish their foundation.
Cloud Mountain Sect’s entry requirement, not calculated as high, a person’s age less than 15 years old, step into the Forged Body Stage and that will suffice.
Close to 3 years of hard effort and Chen Yu just reached Forged Body early stage has broken through to forged body late stage.
According to his father this apt.i.tude sees him, in the clan, or in the world, as fairly good.
But.
After entering the sect world, Chen Yu realized his ability is commonplace and low.
“Still, with the deadline of 2 months, if I am incapable of promoting to the higher ‘Open Meridian Stage’, I’ll be expelled from the sect.”
Chen Yu gaze was a bit gloomy.
Cloud Mountain Sect, for the newly arrived Outer Sect Disciples, there is one ‘Inspection Period’.
Outer regulations: after entering the sect for 3 years, or reaching 16 years old, if still stopped in Forged Body Stage, incapable of breaking through, will be expelled from the sect!
All in all, Forged Body Stage was only the martial dao’s first stage foundation, stronger than ordinary mortal, but not too strong.
Only promoting to Meridian Opening Stage, can a talent be regarded as stepping into the sect’s threshold.
Chen Yu quite unfortunate, will have in 2 short months the evaluation deadline.
Only during the time Chen Yu mind drifted off.
*Bang*
From outside the room came the sound of hitting the door, and he could see faintly some person’s shadow.
“Outer Sect Disciple ‘Chen Yu’, open the door! Law enforcement squad has come to inspect!”
One chilly man’s voice came through the door.
Chen Yu’s heart jumped, unexpectedly it was the sect’s law enforcer.
Don’t tell me, my “gathering” in the meteorite iron surrounding’s was found out?
Shouldn’t be!
Chen Yu was pretty definite that his collecting of meteorite iron fragments, and mysterious crystal, didn’t have a second person present.
He promptly will take in “Crystal Stone” into his intimate place.
*Creak*
The door of the room opened, outside appeared a black robed young man, behind him was a black clothed juvenile.
The black robed youth, wearing the law enforcement robe, looked powerful, and obviously was in the special position of law enforcement. That law enforcement merely gazed at Chen Yu, which brought a blade edge kind of cutting feeling, and cold skin.
The other black clothed youth, 15 or 16, looked pretty handsome, merely the charm within him had a trace of maliciousness, slightly destroying his looks.
This persons dress and Chen Yu were basically identical, both were outer sect disciple’s standardized clothing.
“w.a.n.g Lingyun, it’s you……”
Chen Yu knew that black clothed juvenile, and his complexion looked to change.
w.a.n.g Lingyun, was his old enemy inside the sect!
