The first inkling I had that something was going wrong was when Ming Yun had turned nineteen; on her very birthday, she'd ventured out of the sect at the peak of Soul Reconstruction.

The war between her sect -- The Jade Lotus Sect -- and the sect which had declared war on them was still ongoing. It's not that the Jade Lotus Sect was weak, it was rather the opposite, but the other sect was too numerous!

They were like cockroaches! Watching the life of Ming Yun unfold, as a viewer, I was quite frustrated. These snot nosed Divine Asura cultivators think they are so tough? I opened up my system panel.

Realm: Body Refinement, First Realm

Please, if you know how to combine these two tables into one on RR's writing content thing... Tell me! It looks so odd as two seperate tables!

As a body refinement cultivator, even at the first realm, I could utterly suppress their entire sect! Divine Asura? How presumptuous. I sighed as for the first time in nearly four months, I clicked off the television that enabled me to see Ming Yun's life.

She had mastered armament haki to a decent degree, and had trained the rest of her sect in it as well. That was one of the issues with the Jade Lotus Sect. It was too quality focused. In a Wuxia world, perhaps that was not the best route. The Divine Asura sect was proving it by being annoying rats, constantly nipping at the Jade Lotus sects power.

Ming Yun, or should I say Qinglong, really needed to be careful. A Soul Reformation cultivator can still fall to Qi Infusement cultivators if they have the advantage in numbers and surprise. I rubbed my temples as I was deep in thought. These Divine Asura cultivators, quite a few of them had Haki.

Whether armament, observation, or conquerors -- they were a nuisance for sure. The biggest distinction was that the Divine Asura sect had come across a grove filled with spiritual plants. Of course, a large majority of them had not finished growing. But those that had?

You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

Several elders within the sect had devil fruits. They were all pretty low tier, but the advantage was undeniable. My concern wasn't in the sect having too much power, but rather in the grove of spiritual plants.

The stronger the devil fruit, the longer the gestation period until it matures. There were several plants within the grove that had barely even begun to grow roots from their seed. Several.

I wasn't sure what kind of devil fruit that made them, but I knew that the Divine Asura sect could not have them. So, like any immortal who lives in a garden, I made a spot for some plants.

The apple tree, in specific, I made grow much larger. It would have to accomodate a vast majority of the devil fruits I considered too overwhelming for a wuxia world. Mostly, that would be Logia fruit and mythical zoans.

Over the several months I had mostly been idly cultivating while watching Ming Yun's story unfurl. However, there were still times I had made an effort to practice my techniques while I watched. In particular, the Divine Spear Dance Manual. Having stolen the talent from Ming Yun's soul and melded it into my own, I had made great progress.

I could be considered a top expert within the world.

I checked the power rankings as nervousness fluttered through my body. I could descend in my body as a Keeper, however, that was a little bit beyond dangerous. The top three experts in the world were all in the middle stages of Body Tempering. Even if I knew my technique was stronger, my cultivation manual superior in every way, I was not so arrogant to claim I could beat them in a fair fight.

So, with my accumulated total of three thousand points, I decided that it would not be a fair fight then.

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

Tsu Shi and Xu Ming felt a chill run down their spines. As the hidden ancestors of Tsu Ming City, that was never a good sign. With their impressive cultivation having extended their lives several times over, their instincts were honed. Body Refinement cultivators would almost never get false signals like this.

They shared a look, before both went back to their closed door cultivation rooms.

Something was coming!

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

I browsed the shop with a smile on my face. The glory of being rich, it really could not be underestimated.

Top-tier robes from a Xianxia world, armed to the teeth with enchantments and defensive artifacts and spacial pockets, and it allows me to customize its look? Yes, that'll do nicely! One thousand points spent!

Heaven Piercing Spear of the Divine Spear God? Sounds great. One thousand points spent!

A set of earrings made of black jade that were designed to boost the wearers cultivation speed? Absolutely! Two hundred points spent!

Cloud-stepping Martial Technique Manual? Well, I've always wanted to fly. Absolutely purchase! Five hundred points spent!

I looked at the last three hundred points in my reserves. I knew exactly what to spend them on. The system allowed me to 'reserve' devil fruits for a cost; but, they were quite expensive and I could only reserve one with the system. The rest I would have to acquire myself.

Without a single ounce of hesitation, I reserved the Nika Nika no Mi, model Sun God. It was simply impossible for that to exist within a Wuxia world. The power of imagination did not belong here, and I wouldn't let it taint the worlds story. Having it appear in my hand first, I then transferred it to the giant apple tree I had created. I watched as the purple fruit morphed out from a crisp red one.

I had a certain devil fruit in mind that better suit my needs; I wasn't sure what to do with this one. For now, though, I just had to keep it safe and hidden. I felt a frown grow on my face. Weren't there some other god fruits in One Piece or something? Oh well, not my concern. It should only have taken the fruits I knew of into consideration when I made the power system.

Three hundred points, spent!

Now, I was flat broke. I had no money, but at least I was well protected. I brought up the system menu again, staring at a button blankly. This was quite a risky move, but I really did not want such powerful devil fruits to fall into the hands of a Wuxia world.

I sighed, frustrated. There was no option for me to edit, create, or remove fruits as I wanted. It was simply every fruit I had in memory, with more coming from the worlds myths. There was undoubtedly two Uo Uo no Mi, model Dragons. One from my memory, one from the myth of Qinglong.

I would have to find them both most likely. Or perhaps it would only appear after Qinglongs death?

This whole keeper thing was really complicated! I turned my thoughts off as I looked again to the button.

Are you sure you'd like to descend in your Keeper form?

Yes // No

I would have to. Possessing someone would take a great deal of time to regain my current cultivation realm, and I couldn't risk losing a fight between my soul and anothers. Currently, I also didn't have a skill similar to the Shadow Clone technique from Naruto. But, I did have the Chakra system...

No, this world was chaotic enough as is. I don't need the moon to turn into some god, or some random guy to break the planet with a couple meteors.

I frowned as I pressed yes. This was probably a really, really bad idea.
