Another Cliché Cultivation Story

The Ancestors looked at Di Xiang with solemn eyes.

The person who made a move earlier is called Zhang Chao, the Ancestor of the Howling Mountain Sect. When he was younger, after finding out that he could not absorb True Essence and was not suitable for Qi Cultivation, he defied the heavens and turned to Body Cultivation, cultivating in Astral Essence. He was one of only two Body Cultivators in the Mortal Haven World, and his strength was not to be taken lightly.

Yet his attack only left a mark!

Di Xiang smirked.

“Eleven years ago, The defeat of the Celestials sent a shockwave through the factions in the Upper World. The Celestial race is by no means weak, even with their cultivation restricted, it should not be hard for them to conquer any world, but for them to unexpectedly lose… because of this loss, they can no longer return to this World, not without paying a devastating price. This caused many factions to turn their focus on this world. The Mortal Haven World."

The Ancestors and even Xia Lihua narrowed their eyes. If Di Xiang’s words are true, the Mortal Haven World is attracting much-unwanted attention from the factions in the Upper World. The frustrating part for them, they didn't even participate in the last battle. At that time, when they felt the spatial tear in the Southern Continent, they hurriedly made their way over to assist. Halfway through their journey, the spatial tear disappeared, an indication that the battle had already concluded so they returned without inquiring into the specifics of the event. As long as they won, nothing else matters.

How could they have known that the minute the Celestials appeared eleven years ago, they attacked the Southern Continent without a word and even killed the previous Guardian? They were on the verge of total defeat. It was at that moment that the wandering Ji Xian appeared and lent a hand.

“Hmph! For generations after generations, we, the people of Mortal Haven, have been fighting against the people of the Upper World. Whatever your purpose is. We have fought and won every battle! Whether it is the Celestial race or the Nether race, we will continue to fight and we will continue to win!" Zhang Chao yelled.

Di Xiang was amused hearing this.

“You don’t quite understand, do you? Those people that you have fought in the past are merely from lowly factions. The only exception was the Celestial race. They are an extremely terrifying existence in the Upper World. Whatever happened that year remained a mystery. The Upper World’s factions are curious but at the same time cautious. Whatever secrets this world has, we will find out today. We, of the Nether race, will not make the same mistake as the Celestial race!”

Golden pillars of light shot down one after another from the tear in the sky! These lights vanished revealing people with white hair, grey pale skin, and green eyes. Their frightening aura horrified all beings in the Mortal Haven World, but in an instant, the frightening aura disappeared and their cultivation dropped to the peak of the Holy realm.

The expression of the surrounding Ancestors dropped and before they could say a word more pillars of light descended.

Including Di Xiang, a total of one hundred people of the Nether race stood in the sky.

Sweats dropped from the twenty-two Ancestors’ faces. The aura from a hundred peaked Holy realm experts directed at them brought unprecedented pressure.

Where the hell are the people from the Southern Continent!? They inwardly cried

-------------------

Southern Continent.

Ji Xian is currently sitting on his chair with his head resting against his right hand seemingly asleep. He slowly opened his eyes.

“Interesting.”

Using some unknown method, he was able to see and hear their conversation.

He saw the one hundred peaked Holy realm experts of the Nether race and was unimpressed. His comment was not for them but he had noticed something from the spatial tear in the sky. He closed his eyes and ran a dozen simulations.

Ji Xian opened his eyes again and there was a frown on his face.

Looks like I’m not quite there to do that…yet

The sound of footsteps could be heard behind Ji Xian announcing a person’s arrival.

“What is it?” Asked Ji Xian without turning out.

With a gust of wind, this person appeared next to Ji Xian and bowed.

“Guardian Ji Xian, the situation to the North is not looking good. Shou-”

“Just call me by my name and there’s no need for the formalities.” Interrupted Ji Xian

The convention of this world is so exhausting. He inwardly complained

"That.. that doesn't seem appropriate.."

Ji Xian sighed and said, "Call me Young Master then, you can do that, right?"

“Ahem, as you wished, Young Master.” This person is the Sect Master of the Aether Sect. His name is Huo Honghui.

“Young Master, should we head over there?”

Ji Xian yawned.

“Take everyone and go. I’ll be right behind you so just do your best. No need to kill yourselves.” He said.

Understanding Ji Xian’s intention, Huo Honghui saluted and disappeared.

“One hundred people at the Holy realm.. this is two times more than when the Celestials came. I wonder if this is the limit that they can send down.” Ji Xian muttered before closing his eyes.

-------------------------------

Back in the North.

A standoff is currently taking place. Of course, this was only because most of the Nether race had yet to take action and are carefully observing their surroundings. The death of all the Chosen of the Celestial race in this world had made them vigilant. After using their spiritual sense to sweep through the planet, they frowned.

“Senior Brother Di Xiang, this planet is so small. After searching everywhere, there’s nothing abnormal.” Said Di Wei of the Nether race

Di Wei was of average height wearing a green robe matching his eyes. An unknown tattoo could be slightly seen on his neck but was hidden by his robe.

“Another twenty-four Holy realm experts are heading towards us from the South. Four are at the peak. There isn’t anything unusual about this group.” Di Xiang frowned.

Di Wei raised one eyebrow. “How did the Celestials lose to these people?”

Sensing something, Di Xiang turned his head to see Xia Lihua looking at him.

Is it her? He wondered.

With a flash, he appeared in front of Xia Lihua.

“Miss Xia, with your talent, why choose to stay in this world? Come to the Upper World with us. The Nether race will treat you well.”

Xia Lihua smiled but didn't reply. Instead, her hands moved as she begin to loosen her dress, this created some weird expressions from the people paying attention to her. Some allowed their imagination to run wild and they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Throwing her robe aside, she revealed a sleeveless tight fitted black outfit. Her flawless jade-like arms drew desires from men and women alike.

“I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you, I’ve lost my family because of you people from the Upper World. The hatred has run deep." She casually said.

Suddenly, she charged at Di Xiang and casually punched out!

Di Xiang’s pupils shrank. He threw out his arms and a wall of black water materialized in front of him.

Boom!

Di Xiang was pushed back before stabilizing himself in the air. He looked at his arm and saw it was broken but it recovered in the next second. When Zhang Chao attacked him earlier, It barely hurt. Yet Xia Lihua was able to injure him from just a casual punch? The difference is Heaven and Earth!

“You’re a Body Cultivator!” He yelled after feeling the Essence on her body.

Xia Lihua smiled but her eyes were filled with killing intent.

She channeled her Astral Essence.

“Everlasting Ascension!”

Xia Lihua’s aura soared! Silver Astral Essence swirled around her causing the space in the surroundings to ripple. She flew towards Di Xiang at lightning speed.

Although Everlasting Ascension increased her power significantly, she couldn't use it for long and it would come with a small backlash so she had to finish off Di Xiang fast!

Di Xiang saw Xia Lihua charging at him and a single thought went through his head.

This woman is crazy! Shouldn’t we exchange moves and test the waters before showing our ace!?

He quickly waved his hand. The water from the ocean flew towards him and turned black. It turned into a sphere and swallowed him. With another wave of his hand, a thick pillar of water rose. He performed another hand sign, then he pointed at Xia Lihua.

“Nether Dragon Defiance!”

Xia Lihua saw the black pillar of water transformed into a black water dragon flying towards her with its mouth open. It emitted a strong deathly aura. Without a doubt, she would be seriously injured if the dragon successfully swallows her.

Seeing this water dragon, she scoffed in disdain, and her desire to fight skyrocketed.

Her silver eyes sparkled and her body split into nine shadows before shooting off in different directions.

ROAR!

The Black Water Dragon angrily roared and slammed its tail into the water causing a gigantic tsunami. It slammed into the shadows!

One of the shadows was unaffected and charged into it with no fear. The Black Water Dragon, as though expecting it, rushed right in front of the shadow, opened its mouth, and swallowed it!

Controlling the dragon, Di Xiang smiled as he watched the shadow gets devoured. All of sudden, his facial expression changed, and looked above him. A silver streak was flying at him at terrifying speed. He controlled the dragon to return to protect him but it was too late! The silver streak revealed itself to be Xia Lihua. She punched out!

“Phase Lock!”

Di Xiang, the Black Water Dragon, and even the tsunami froze. Time had stopped.

Appearing next to Di Xiang, she smiled beautifully.
