When drifting in the voids of space, life seems to be pointless, time loses all essense and the darkness becomes your eternal bride. Am I alive or dead, Good or Evil, nothing matters, I split myself into two, just to have a companion to talk with.
We agree to disagree in everything, otherwise there will be no conversation, Good or Evil, does it really matter when there is nobody around, I begin to spar with myself to relieve boredom.
I'm hungry, but hunger helps me understand that I'm still alive, the voids of space are boring, there's nothing to do other than head forwards, wherever that may take me. Maybe I will die in the voids of space and nobody will know about it, maybe I'll be able to make it through.
Today, or maybe an hour after or maybe a second after this one I discovered that I was unable to fuse with the other me, he simply refuses to do so, he's too angry with how weak willed I am, he says I'm too passive and too gullible, I should have killed the elder long ago, I disagree, because the elder has helped me many times before, although his love is a bit harsh and really irritating at times.
We begin to argue in the middle of nowhere, but suddenly I felt as if something was wrong, without even a thought I killed him, he disappeared and there was only me now.
How dares a clone of myself critisize my decisions, I might have screwed up, but if he's so great, why didn't he speak before we ended up here, he's no different than that hypocritic Old Goat.
I don't know why, but after that strike, I felt rejuvenated, I felt as if I had leveled up, but why?
There was nothing about what was happening to me in the methods I had, I had somehow found a fourth path, but I didn't know what it was.
I created another clone, this time I begun to discuss with him stuff that excited me, like my favourite movies, girls and stuff. This lasted for some time, until we begun measuring dicks and other manly stuff. I think I lost and then killed him, don't ask me, because it was too embarasing, losing to yourself like that.
For some reason I leveled up again, I don't understand how this works, but It's a fun way to pass time in the void, in the next few days I did similar experiments, until I heard the pulse of the universe once more.
I facepalmed myself, I wasn't getting stronger, I was destroying my own cultivation, little by little I was becoming weaker instead, but because I got too accustomed to having half the strength, I thought I was getting stronger or something.
How stupid can I get, thinking that cutting your own hand will make you stronger, of course It wouldn't, I'm no genious cultivator, everything I have achieved was because I followed the manuals, there's only one way to walk forwards, I sealed my cultivation to that of foundation establishment, I begun to cultivate like crazy as the destroyed remnants of the clones I had crashed had created this chance for me.
Am I a genious or just lucky, or have I gone completely nuts? am I the original or just the clone? Who am I really?
I begun to laugh as the familiar clouds appeared above my head, I was about to breakthrough to the next level and I begun to laugh, It was a laughter that was born of helplessness as I knew I couldn't survive this bolt with my current power.
As the first Lightning fell on me it broke the seal in my body and the lightning clouds stood there above me not understanding what had just happened. As if they had a mind of their own. Should they continue or retreat?
The lightning clouds disappeared as if they lost all interest in me, did I fail or not, I can't tell, but what I can tell is that these weird clouds have created more Ki for me to cultivate anew.
I cultivated like crazy, again and again, the clouds would gather and then lose interest in me, every time they appeared they got stronger, every time they disappeared they left behind a huge amount of Ki for me to use.
I think I have found myself a new hobby.
I finaly broke through and now I'm at the Dao(=Path/Way) seeking level, at this level one can create their own domain, Which will affect the rest of their life, since high level cultivators no longer fight with skills, but with their Domains, the one with a stronger domain will win and the loser's Ki will be absorbed by the winner to make them stronger.
If only there was a Returning Home Dao, I would have been happy, but things can't be simple, can they. To create one's domain you have to, wait, why are the three clones inside of me acting weird.

They are arguing about things, without me doing anything. One is the angry and unreasonable, bossy idiot, he wears white clothes. The second wears black clothes and is seemingly clinicaly depressed. The last one is a naked pervert, wearing only his underwear. If those are the elements I can master then I'm doomed, did I unknowingly, oh shit. I unknowingly leveled up by understanding elements instead of the other two ways, but what sort of elements are they?
The black one is "Evil", by all means I don't believe in good or evil, but that guy only wants to kill people. Although he seems depressed, but his mind is set on killing all of us and commiting group suicide.
The White one is loud as hell, he's stupid, rather childish and blames everyone else but himself. What sort of element is that, he's more like a stupid child throwing a tantrum, thinking that he's all the shit, really irritating.
The naked one I don't even need to ask, if there was any element to describe him, it would be the Sin of Lust, the desire to have fun with girls, but I don't want to ask his sexual orientation.
Then what element is the black guy wearing the golden Hannyu mask which is my main soul?
I'm so confused now, each one of the four souls has understood one Element, but which element that is, I can't tell. The manuals only have a basic direction of how to cultivate and aren't too detailed as from this moment forward Talent and enlightment are God.
-So how do we call ourselves now?(Yashin)
-Simple, I'm White, He's black, He's Shirtless(White)
-Okay Now we have to find what element each of us has comprehended(Yashin)
-That's obvious, You're Slaughter, He's Yang, I'm Ying and he's Lust(Black)
-Wait, I wanted to comprehend Time!(Yashin)
-And you failed like you always do(White)
-Just create some sort of Time domain and be done with it(Black)
-Is that even possible?(Yashin)
-Are you stupid, of course it's possible(White)
-Yes, all you have to do is believe(Black)
-So what sort of Domain do I get to understand?(Yashin)
-He is stupid(Black)
-Didn't I tell you(White)
-Right!(Shirtless)
-Wait why are you calling me stupid?(Yashin)
-Of course it's obvious that we have to get a domain that will help us get laid(Shirtless)
-Like hell we will, it has to be one of Fire, like that Elder's(White)
-Fools, we're in the voids of space of course it will have to do with Darkness(Black)
-But I wanted time(Yashin)
-Then how about we compete, the first to understand how to form a domain gets to decide(White)
-No!(Black)
-Why is that?(White)
-Do you want to risk being in the middle of nowhere with a domain that will turn all the people around you horny?(Black)
-That, it's all his fault!(White)
-Wait, why is it my fault, it's obviously his fault(Shirtless)
The three of them begun to stare at me as if us being in the middle of nowhere was my fault.
The next few days/hours/years whatever were a tad more colorful as we competed to form a Domain, until the moment I succeeded, the darkness around me begun to twist as if it was some sort of fluid, the other three looked at me with suspicion.
-So what domain did we comprehend?(White)
-Isn't it Time?(Yashin)
-Idiot, Time cannot be seen, what you have comprehended, even I cannot tell, how on earth did you make this thing?(Black)
-Well it's easy...(Yashin)
After explaining to them the process with which I made my domain, the three of them tried to create their own domains, but for some reason even when they activated them, their domains lost out to mine. Although logicaly thinking I didn't even know what my domain did, it just twisted theirs and then they were forced to take them back or lose them.
It was evident that this was no Time domain, unless it some some sort of distorted space domain or something.
-So in general you don't know what your domain does and are now left to depend on us?(White)
-I...(Yashin)
-If I had to depend on you two we would have surely died, so do your best(Black)
-So what do we do?(Yashin)
-Simple We use my Darkness Domain to find the trail we made until this point, then we return home(Black)
-Is that even possible?(Yashin)
-Do you think I'm an idiot like you three, being a genious is so lonesome(Black)
-Genious, can I ask you something?(Shirtless)
-What(Black)
-Do you like Boys or Girls?(Shirtless)
-...
There was no answer to his question, If It didn't cause me to fall a realm I would have simply destroyed this clone of mine. He's too embarassing to see the light of day, I have to hide his existance.
To be honest I don't quite understand how he can track back our path, but asking Black a question is no different than admitting one's own inferiority. Only an idiot like shirtless could do something like that, but he's too stupid to ask a reasonable question.
Following the "Trail" We ended in what looked like a Black Hole, the "Trail" ended here.
-So what now?(Yashin)
-What else, we go inside(Black)
-Don't be a pussy and be a man for once(White)
-Right, Follow His advice!(Shirtless)
-Wait! Don't just dive in, first you have to seal the passage and then enter, are you brain dead?(Black)
-Right total idiot!(White)
-I agree(Shirtless)
I feel like a fool, it's like I'm mocking myself, of course I can use seals and the black hole is already considerably slow, all I have to do is seal it to create a stable passage for a few seconds.
I did it, the Black hole stopped creating a wormhole that allowed me to reach the other side. I undid the seal and followed the trail back, I don't know how long it was but seeing earth again was the greatest gift of my life.
-I'm home(Yashin)
-Just don't fuck up again(White)
-Nothing special(Black)
-At last! Girls I'm back!(Shirtless)
