Reincarnated With A System In A Cultivation World

The bear looked terrifying. Just looking at it, I knew that it had no intention of leaving me alive. I could feel this pressure mounting over me, trying to crush me. The cultivation of this bear was much, much more than mine.

p "What is wrong with my luck? Why did I have to encounter such a powerful beast just as I entered the forest?" I cursed.

"I recognize this Spirit Beast. It is a beast of a rare lineage. Some spirit beasts pass down their spirituality through their bloodline, and their offspring are guaranteed to become powerful beasts. This is the Dark Tyrant Bear. It is not that big, I think that it is just a child. It should be able to kill Core Formation Stage cultivators with a single blow." Liu Man said.

"I don't need the lesson now. I just need a way to get out of this place fast!" I shouted.

"I do not sense any powerful beast to the west. I think that you should move towards there. Dark Tyrant Bears are heavily territorial. Unless you do something incredibly wrong, they shouldn't leave their territory and chase after you." Liu Man said.

I nodded, and quickly started running to the left. It was now that I noticed the color of the trees. They were the color of Ash!

"I should have seen this before! Why didn't I heed his advice. I have to make sure that I am not anywhere near the Ash Colored trees." I realized as I continued running to the left. The trees stayed the same, and I was sure that I was losing my way, when I heard the sound of someone talking.

I looked back once more. The Dark Tyrant Bear was nowhere to be found. I guessed that it went back to its territory. I ran to the direction of this sound. It was probably a group, and they could already hear me coming.

"Who is it? Who is behind the bushes?" Someone asked loudly.

"I am just a normal human. I come in peace. I was escaping from a beast when I came across you guys." I raised my hands up in the air as I crossed the bushes and came into view. It was a group of five people. All of them were probably people who were here for the selection process. I quickly used mind eye on all of them.

"They are all in the foundation establishment stage! It seems that getting here is nothing special at all. The Kaishi city is such a small place compared to even the selection process. No wonder the Cai family wanted to send their best disciple to the Sky Heaven's sect." I thought as I looked at them with apprehension.

Because of the limited spots available, everyone was a competitor. I was not sure how they would react when someone appeared before them.

"It seems like brother is not aware of the workings of the Black Swamp Forest. You are supposed to stay to the center. You strayed too far right, and I think that you encountered a magical beast that you could not handle. Next time, I am sure that you will not make this mistake." the man in the center, who seemed to be the leader, smiled.

"If you do not mind me asking, how is it that you are able to stay in the center of the path that we are supposed to take? I cannot seem to understand how to do that. I strayed the moment I entered the forest." I asked.

"What are you talking about? Do you not have the spirt compass?" the leader looked at me with confusion.

"Spirit Compass? What are you talking about?"

"The spirit compass. The Sky Heaven's sect hands them out to those that it selects for the selection process. Did you not know that you had to have one?" he asked.

"You had to be selected to enter the selection process? I thought that the selection process was the trials that I had to go through. What is this new step?" I asked, confused about what was happening.

All of a sudden, the expressions of the group of five changed. They looked at me with disgust.

"To think that we were talking with those stupid commoners who think that they could actually go through the Black Swamp forest without a spirit compass. They actually think that they can survive here on their own?" the girl who was next to the leader said with disgust.

"It seems that I have overstayed my welcome then. What you have said was very helpful. I thank you for that. I think that I can try and find my own way then." I said as I continued forward.

Thoughts filled my head. There was only one possible explanation to what just happened. First, only those who were selected especially for these trials had a spirit compass that they could use to go to the sect safely. Then, there were others who were not selected, and had to find their own way to the testing site, or die in the process.

"The martial way is cruel for sure. To think that they would just leave us to the wolves like that. But why the hell did father leave all of this out? He wanted me to go to the Sky Heaven's sect. I came here on his order. But he told me nothing about this. Did he send me here to die or something?" I cursed again.

Kaishi City, Liu Manor

Liu Qian was sitting on a chair, quietly sipping tea.

Achoo!

"That bastard must be cursing me right now. I should have told him all that stuff. But he should learn how to handle things on his own. Shouldn't he, Ling Tian?"

"Yes. He should." the man in front of Liu Qian nodded.
