On a peak of a mountain sat a man in a white robe. Jin Zhen opened his eyes.
shing!
A clear transient purple sword flew around him before landing in his hand. As he glides down the mount floor.
Jin Zhen stood in front of a cave which had a rock sign called "One Sword" and walked in.
"It's been 10 years now. I should be able to break through the formation now!"
He earnestly held his sword with vigor.
"I can't wait to see what the cultivation world is like!"
Jin Zhen drew his sword and stepped into the array formation. His surroundings lit up and countless swords appeared in the air.
They rushed at him from every angle trying to suppress him, but he blocked every sword and dodged the last sword. But as he dodges one, two more strikes him. As he blocks one sword another sword appears in its place.
However even in this dangerous situation, Jin Zhen still smiled.
"As expected..."
ZIIIING!
He swung his sword vertically causing the array and the ground to crack and open. The earth shuttered and the clouds seperated from his sword.
"This array can't stop me any longer."
The array shattered and small freckles of light gathered to form a light. Jin Zhen stepped inside and his eyes were filled with white light causing him to have to close his eyes.
Then as the light diminished, he opened his eyes to find that he was finally out. Surrounded in a forest full of green, he really knew that he was...Free.
Jin Zhen breathed in heavily and out.
"This isn't a dream."
As he took one step forward, his body vanished and appeared hundreds of feats away.
He finally reached a road. He was about to take another step when...
Bang!
A middle age man had fallen on his butt and looked on in astonishment.
"I-Immortal!" got on his knees and began to kowtow desperately.
Jin Zhen stops him.
"An immortal? I'm not. Do you know where cultivators are?"
"I don't know...but the LianHaiMen are said to be the strongest sect in the world...."
He pointed in a direction and explained where the sect was.
"Thank you." Jin Zhen looked at his leg and saw that is was sort of limp. "I don't have much to give you, so can I fix your leg?"
"W-what!?"
"Despite me carrying a sword, I know some medicine. Would you like for me to heal your leg?"
"Yes! The doctors said that it couldn't be fixed!"
Jin Zhen smiled gently and put his hands over the leg. With internal energy he easily heals the leg/
"Its healed! HAHAHA it's healed!!!"
The middle aged man began to jump up and down in excitement, full of bewilderment.
"Thank you Immortal-"
The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
However as he turns, Jin Zhen was no longer there.
....
....
As he appeared on the foot of the mountain of Lianhaiman, more people were shocked at how he appeared.
They held their swords and took a back step hesitantly.
Jin Zhen looks at the sign on their gate and stairs leading up to the peak of the mountain.
He awkwardly smiled, "another mountain..."
To not be disrespectful to the immortals here, he walked without utilizing his inner strength.
The on lookers finally relaxed and whispered to each other as Jin Zhen was out of view.
"Who has Lianhaman offended!? He appeared in one breath, such strength can only be in the top 10 ranking!"
"No, didn't you see how respectful he was when he walked? This might be their Grandmaster Wei Zian!"
"Wei Zian, the 3rd rank swordsman!? It can't be! His sword is the jade sword, Lotus!"
"T-T-this..."
...
...
...
Knock, Knock.
Jin Zhen stood with his hands holding his sword.
Creak~
The door open and a young man came out. Seeing Jin Zhen's clothing and sword, he could tell that this was a reputable figure and respectfully greeted him.
"Hello Sir, may I ask who you are?"
"I am...a nobody. I came here to enter Linhaiman and become a immortal."
"Immortal? Are you talking about our immortal grandmaster Wei Xian?"
"Immortal! Like flying on your sword as you fight demon and gods."
"Haha, sir I don't quite understand? Surely you're joking with me."
Now that Jin Zhen looked closer to around his surroundings, he saw that the buildings were not exactly like xianxia settings, but instead looked like...Wuxia???
Then what was with all the flying swords and magical arrays!? No, wait. Even wuxia novels have those. Am I really in a Wuxia world? It can't be...maybe if I see their cultivation..or martial arts.
"May I tour inside as guest? I have some desire to join Lianhaiman."
"I'm afraid I can't. Not unless you were invited by someone or truly plan on joining. Otherwise, you might be a spy who's here to steal our Martial arts."
"Martial arts-I mean, Ah forget it!" Jin Zhen drew out his sword and with a loud voice that reverberated the air, spoke.
"Jin Zhen, wishes to duel Linhaiman."
The voice echoed and those that couldn't withstand the pressure fell to their knees.
A middle aged man opened his eyes and picked his lotus sword up.
While others outside of Linhaiman also sensed the aura from thousands of miles away.
"That direction is...Linhaiman!? Has another Grandmaster appeared!?" A man with a golden mask spoke in astonishment.
"A new storm is coming, sigh~" A white haired old man spoke as he calculated on his fingers.
"Tch! Linhaiman!" A female in red slammed her sword on the table in a restaurant of the top floor..
....
....
....
"May I ask mr. Jin Zhen, what grudges do you have with my Linhaiman?"
Wei Xian looked at Jin Zhen in horror. The young man in front of him was young! To possess this much power at that age was unheard of. What was even frightening was that Jin Zhen was someone he had never heard of! If he had some grudges on Linhaiman...
Even Jin Zhen knew he was acting rude, he needed answers. This whole time, he had thought that he would be entering a Xianxia cultivation world, but now his whole world has turned over.
Don't tell me I wasted 10 long years of excruciating training? I need to know! Even if I lose my life in the process.
"I don't have a grudge against Linhaiman, but I wish to have a duel against the most powerful person here!"
"...So you are looking for me!"
"If you are the strongest then yes!"
"Fine...However, you challenged Linhaiman! Do you plan to destroy it if I lose!?"
"So don't lose then." Jin Zhen heartlessly said.
Wei Xian drew his lotus sword and rushed towards Jin Zhen like a swallow. But Jin Zhen had already known, when Wei Xian had stood in front of him and proclaimed himself as the strongest, Jin Zhen understood the power of this world.
"Too weak." Jin Zhen frustratedly muttered under his breath.
Wei Xians sword slashed through Jin Zhen, but it was only a afterimage!
"Too slow!! You can't touch me at this rate!!" Jin Zhen reprimanded him.
Wei Xian yelled out, "Then lets see if you can take this! Heavenly thunder!" and like a bolt of lightning, he struck out again to pierce through Jin Zhen.
"Sigh....is this the fastest you can go?"
With one strong glare, he accidentally sent his inner strength outwards, unleashing a massive pressure which crashed him to a tree.
CRACK!
Wei Xian started sweating droplets and looked at Jin Zhen as if he was a monster.
"W-Why!? We have no grudge! Why do you have to go this far!?"
Then Jin Zhen realized that he was taking his frustrations out of Wei Xian.
"....I'm sorry. That was immature of me." He held his palms at his face. Then he vanished the scene.
As Wei Xian tried to get up, he couldn't get up. The impact had broken...something.
Wei Xian looked at the floor in despair, but noticed a pill and a note there.
[This pill can heal and give you 5 years of internal strength. I apologize for my actions.]
Wei Xian was confused...What in the world had happened? Realizing that he might actually be crippled for life, he gambled on the pill.
"I would rather die! Than be a cripple!" He took it into his mouth and energy started flowing into him like a warm shower of rain.
He couldn't believe it! His body was actually healing!
"Just who was that?!" A group of elders and young man came to support him up.
"I don't know...but not once...not once did he draw his sword..."
....
....
....
Jin Zhen walked slowly out.
"Sigh~ what good is it to beat a old man up? My reaction was horrible, heh. What a joke."
He had now lost his meaning of life and quite honestly, he was tired of everything.
"I guess...until I find a new purpose....I'll just roam Jianghu..."
