When the white light that was enshrouding me dissapeared, I noticed my surroundings chaged and I was indeed in a forest like God said I would be. There is also a note that seems to have been sent with me, So figuring it is from God, I decide to read it.

"If you are reading this it means that you have successfully been transported to the forest safely, Which is good. Before you continue reading this, Please decide whether or not you wish to live within this forest for a while. If you do please press the O if not press the X. When you do that the note will change to match your decision."

Live within the forest for a while? Though it will be quite risky, This seems like the better idea for me. I would be able to cultivate longer in this forest and I would only need to clear out the beasts around the area I end up living at so I guess I should just live here for a while. I press the O and the note changes.

"Since you have chosen to live in the forest for a while then I will tell you some more information about this forest and help you out a bit. In this forest, Which is the Forest of Death, There are thousands of beasts that are at the True Spirit Realm and tens of thousands of beasts at the Mortal Lord Realm. There are a few hundred beasts at the True Lord Realm or Half True Lord Realm. You should be able to easily fight the beasts below True Spirit Realm once the month passes assuming your cultivation goes well. I do not recommend attacking the beasts at True Spirit Realm or above until your cultivation is at least Stage 6 or above of the True Spirit Realm since the beasts in the forest are mainly in packs. The area you are now is in the middle area around the border to the inner area of the forest. The zone I created for you will protect you for 1 month and after that the beasts will be able to enter, as well as humans so I hope you cultivate diligently and increase you cultivation fast. You can find a river where fish live in to fish for food and get drinking water and bath there, you can also find edible fruits, some that can help with your cultivation all around the forest, Though some will be poisonous so don't carelessly eat the fruits. Also I forgot to tell you earlier, but your cultivation will be hidden from everyone, No matter how strong they are, As per agreement with the gods. The same goes for all the other 49 chosen. You can also passively feel the cultivation of everybody, including beasts, so don't be reckless attacking those stronger than you without a plan. I'm sure you can figure out how to build a simple house, So I will see you next time we meet, or if I am able to send you a letter."

After I finished reading everything the letter dissapears completely, Probably the work of God. It is good that nobody can feel my cuiltivation because it could make people stronger than me look down on me making it easier to beat them. Since I have a month to cultivate safely, I should find a good spot I would want to live and cultivate there instead of all around the place.

I walk around the forest for about 2 hours before I find a good spot to live at. The river is only a few metres away from it and it is quite an open space, So I would be able to build a simple house here without much difficulty. I find a spot I think is confortable enough and sit down to attempt cultivating. Using the information the God of Wisdom gave me before I got sent here, I attempt to find my meridians first, Since that is the first step to everybody when they just start cultivating. Sensing inside my body, Which I don't really know how that works, I find 11 things a human body on Earth would never have, Quite obviously my meridians.

The next step after finding my meridians was to attempt to open them, Which would allow one to cultivate. Naturally, those without talent in cultivating would take a long time, and those with broken meridians would never open them. Though of course I am neither of those, So I naturally managed to open my meridians pretty fast, only taking 3 hours.

Now that I opened my meridians, it is time to attempt cultivating. Though I never saw anyone cultivate before, With the information given to me, It wasn't quite hard to do. I felt the strands of Qi in the air and attempt to suck them into my body. Normally nobody can see these strands of Qi, Only people with rare eye bloodlines, but I am able to do so, Which is probably due to the God. According to the information I got, There would normally be very little strands of Qi around places, mainly where people lived so cultivation was slower, but in this forest, the area was practically filled with strands of Qi, Which is good for me.

After 10 minutes I managed to get a strand of Qi into my body, So I instantly guide it into my meridians and successfully have it enter my meridians. Due to that I felt something change in my body, Like I was getting stronger. I guess that happens when you manage to absorb Qi for the first time. Due to getting that strand of Qi into my meridians, It was a lot easier to absorb the strands of Qi in the air, Resulting in my taking only 7 hours to enter the first stage of Mortal Practitioner, Which is genius beyond genius since it normally takes a day for normaly geniuses while 4 days for normal people.

Due to that my strength naturally went up by a lot, This also included my senses. I can hear better and see quite a bit clearer, Obviously bonuses of increasing your cultivation. Due to cultivating for over half a day it is already dark now, So I decide to head to sleep. Though I do not have a house yet, It is no problem sleeping outside since it is quite warm. I merely set a fire and head off to sleep.

[Day 2]

Waking up I take some bread from my storage ring and eat it before getting up and using my sword to cut down some trees to use to build a house. A Couple hours later I got a basic house made with a four walls a roof and a door. It is quite sturdy aswell since these trees are quite tough, So naturally the wood would be aswell. Sadly I don't have anything I can use to create a bed besides leaves, Since I can't exactly get leather from killing beasts yet. So I just create a simple bed made out of leaves in a corner of the house while creating a small table and chair with the wood and setting it in the middle of the house.

Done with creating my house I also notice that the strands of Qi give literally no shits about obstacles and are passing through my house as if it was the air, not that I mind since it actually makes it a lot easier for me now since I don't need to cultivate outside. I sit down and start cultivating and naturally the strands of Qi start going around me, as if they want me to absorb them, Which i do. In the end I didn't manage to enter the second stage but I got infinitely close to doing so, Which is already pretty nuts since it would take a week at the least to enter the second stage normally. I head off to sleep, This time with my somewhat comfy leaf bed.

[Day 3]

Having already built my house and not needing to do so anymore, I eat some bread for breakfast again and head outside, planning to train my martial skills. The one I first train in is naturally my Striking The Heavens swrod skill. I activate the skill while holding my sword and it glows a tiny bit and I thrust out sideways with it, Which ends up shooting a tiny beam of light at a tree, which creates a hole that is basically miniscule. I don't get upset at though because I managed to send out a beam already, Which was lucky.

I keep training in this skill until it manages to reach the mid level of beginner mastery, which I figured it was time to train another skill. Naturally since I trained in a offence skill, It is time to train in my Lightning Steps skill for movement. I attempt to channel Qi into my feet, Which activates the skill and small sparks of lightning could be seen under my feet. Naturally I am quite lucky since it worked right away and so as to not waste that luck I instantly run around to see if the speed increased at all. My speed did increase, Though it was not by much. If I could run 100 meters in 6 seconds without the skill, then with it I can do so in 4 seconds. Though not bad it is not that good.

After a couple of hours of exausting my Qi and using the skill constantly it got to the same stage as my Striking The Heavens, mid level of beginner mastery. My speed increased a lot with that jump, So now instead of 4 seconds it would take me 2 seconds to run 100 meters, Which is obviously pretty damn fast.

I train in my Striking The Heavens skill again for another 6 hours, Barely raising it's mastery to high level of beginner mastery, Which increases the size, speed and damage of the sword beam. It now creates a fist size dent in the tree, Which is strong enough for now. It is already night so I head back to my house to sleep again.

[Day 4]

Waking up I eat some bread and instead of cultivating I go for a walk in the forest to see if I can find some of those fruits God talked about. Walking around for 5 hours I headed back to my home a bit upset. I did manage to find a fruit, but it was a poisonous one, which I found out by poking it with my sword allowing a small amount of the fruit insides to come out, which instantly turned the ground under it dead.

Once I get back to my house I start cultivating right away and after an hour I broke through to the second stage of Martial Practitioner. Since I increased my cultivation, My strength, senses and Qi all increased.

If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

Now that I increased my cultivation I decide to train my fist skill, Fist Of The Angry Dragon. Activating the skill I start to punch out at the air and sometimes trees for the next 9 hours, Bringing the skill mastery to mid level beginner. I did break down 2 or 3 trees though, Since I kept hitting them. I merely tossed them on the other side of the river, since I don't need any wood now.

Since I still have around 7 or 8 hours until I should head to sleep I decide to train my Iron Body skill aswell. It is quite hard to train though, Since I need to have something hitting my body. Since I do not have anybody I can use to hit my body, I think of an idea and activate my Angry Dragon fist skill aswell and start to hit myself in the stomach, just not with my full force. I restrain my power to 30% and constantly hit my stomach for 4 hours and actually managed to get my Iron Body to high level beginner mastery already. My fist skill also increased to the peak of mid level beginner mastery, Almost at high level beginner mastery.

For the next 4 hours I cultivate and increase my cultivation to about 60% into the second stage, Getting closer to the third stage. I head on to my room and eat some of the meat given to me in my storage ring then head to sleep.

[Day 10]

Opening my eyes I find my cultivation managed to break through to stage 6 of Mortal Practitioner Realm, Which made my strength, senses and Qi increase again. Standing up I stretch my body a bit before eating some bread I still have before heading to the river to wash my body. I also catch a few fish and kill them while putting them in my storage ring to eat later, Since the food given to me by God has almost ran out.

Getting back outside of my house I bring out my sword and activate my Lightning Sword skill and start slashing around the air, Sending cackles of lightning sounding through the air. I stop after 4 hours since I am tired and the skill level finally managed to enter high level low mastery. Now all of my skills are at high level low mastery, Which is very good since the strength of all the skills increases greatly.

I run around the forest while using my Lightning Steps in hope of finding a fruit that can increase my cultivation. After 8 hours I finally managed to find a fruit to help me increase my cultivation, Which I found out by the rich Qi emenating from the fruit. I burn the image of this fruit into my mind so I can find them a lot easier and run back home with my Lightning Steps, increasing the mastery to Peak level low mastery, Getting very close to entering mid mastery with it.

Back at my house I stop using Lightning Steps and enter my house before sitting down on my bed and instantly eating all of the fruit. Feeling my cultivation increasing because of it, I instantly start absorbing the strands of Qi around me and break through to stage 7, yet it doesn't stop. It increases to stage 8 then stops at the peak of stage 8, nearly putting me into stage 9 of Mortal Practitioner. I get very excited because this means that by tomorrow I can most likely enter the 9th stage, becoming a Half Mortal Spirit.

I start cultivating for the entire night, instead of sleeping since I don't need sleep anymore due to cultivation, or if I am insanely tired.

[Day 15]

Waking up from my cultivation trance I find black gas coming out of my body, Which means I finally entered the Mortal Spirit Realm! This is great. I find that entering the Mortal Spirit Realm, My Qi not only doubled, the purity of it also increased immensely compared to before. Due to the black gas I am starting to smell very bad, So I hop up and run over to the river before stripping off my clothes and hopping in, washing off all of this black gas off my body while coincidentally catching a few fish.

I train my Striking The Heavens skill to mid level mid mastery before activating my Lightning Steps and running around the forest for a few hours, actually managing to find 3 of the fruits that help increase cultivation. I am obviously very happy at this, since just that once fruit made me increase nearly 3 stages. I doubt one fruit will do that again, Since I am a Mortal Spirit now, but the 3 fruits will no doubt greatly help increase my cultivation.

Running back to my house I cook 2 fishes while eating the last of my bread for dinner before eating a fruit and start cultivating. After 4 hours the effect of the fruit wears out, but I got to the peak of Mortal Spirit stage 1. 2 hours later I enter stage 2 and then I grab the second fruit and third fruit, directly eating both of them before resuming my cultivation over the night.

[Day 20]

Finished cultivating for the night I get up and stretch before eating a breakfast of nothing but fish I head out and start training my martial skills. I train both the Striking The Heavens and Lightning Sword to the peak of mid mastery, very to close entering high mastery with both of them, before stopping.

I head to the river and wash all the sweat off my body before training my Angry Dragon fist skill and my Iron Body fist skill for 7 hours bringing both of them to the mid level high mastery before stopping. Just a single fist while using my Angry Dragon skill can destroy 2 or 3 trees if they are close together and my Iron Body can take 90% of the strength from that fist, So my defence is pretty damn strong now.

Like every day I now use my Lightning Steps and run around the forest finding the fruits. This time I manage to find 7 fruits before I head back, Which is above average. There are an insane amount of these fruits around this forest, Which is quite good for me, Since I can rapidly increase my cultivation with these.

Getting back to my house it is already dark so I just eat dinner and start cultivating, instantly eating all 7 of these fruits, not at all wasting my time and within 5 minutes I already broke through to stage 7 of Mortal Spirit Realm. After 2 hours I entered Stage 8 and after 5 hours I entered Stage 9. Using the last 2 hours of the fruit duration, I madly absorb Qi strands bringing my cultivation to stage 9 peak before I stop, feeling insanely tired I actually sleep for the first time in 15 days.

[Day 25]

Feeling my strength double I instantly know that I entered stage 4 of the Mortal Lord realm. It is a good thing that I figured out that the crystals in my storage ring aren't only used as a currency, but also help with cutlivating. It took me a whole 20 fruits to increase my cultivation from stage 1 to stage 2 of True Spirit, While using 10 red crystals increased my cultivation from stage 2 to stage 4 True Spirit. The crystals actually have double the effect the fruits do now. I figure that after entering True Spirit the fruits use diminish so much it is not actually useful to use them anymore. I do keep collecting them though since they taste good and they do increase my cultivation speed regardless so whenever I see them during my daily run I still collect them. I have around 43 in my storage ring right now.

Training my 5 martial skills for the rest of the day, I manage to bring every skill to peak level high mastery, Increases the strength by a bunch. I can run 500 meters in 3 or 4 seconds just by using my Lightning Steps, and even without my Lightning Steps it only takes me about 7 or 8 seconds to run 500 meters. Ah the wonders of cultivation.

Eating some fish and fruit for dinner, I take out 20 crystals and start cultivating for the rest of the night.

[Day 30]

Waking up I know today is the day that the area I am in stops being sealed off and will now have beasts and humans entering it, So I can finally get to fight against beasts so I can increase my fighting skill, Since until now I have only been training and haven't been able to fight at all due to the seal.

Currently my cultivation is at True Spirit Realm Stage 9 peak, Making me a Half True Lord, infinitely close to a True Lord. All of my martial skills are also mid level peak mastery, Having insane strength from all of them, even more so for my Striking The Heavens skill. A single beam from the skill can cut down tens of trees now, clearly showing it's strength.

I get up off of my bed and start eating a fish and fruit breakfast before cultivating so that I might be able to enter the True Lord Realm before any beasts arrive here. I cultivate for 3 hours and do manage to break through to True Lord Realm Stage 1 doubling my strength and Qi while also increasing my senses by insane amount. I can see a couple hundred meters away and can hear anything within 5 kilometers of me now.

Due to the increased hearing, I naturally am able to hear the beasts around. I find a group of 5 by the sounds of it 4 kilometers west of me and I activate Lightning Steps and take out my sword before running to them. After a few minutes I manage to get where they are and I notice that they are all just Mortal Lord Realm between stage 4 and 7. They are way weaker than me, but due to me not having any fighting experience I naturally don't hold anything back or be an idiot.

I activate my Iron Body and Lightning Sword and while still using my Lightning Steps I appear in front of the beasts. They look like giant wolfs and when they notice me basically appear out of thin air they all get shocked for a second and I very quickly notice this and take advantage of that and slash out with my sword, Which is currently covered in lightning, at the closest beast, and actually kill it instantly, burning it's corpse due to the lightning, it is basically just charcoal now.

Noticing that I managed to kill one of their pack mates, the remaining 4 beasts roar angrily and attack me seemingly wanting to shred me into a million pieces. I naturally don't give them a chance to hit me and use my Lightning Steps to jump back 10 meters, dodging all of their attacks. Though they are way weaker than me, I don't dare to take their attacks head on even with my Iron Body, since I do not know if I will take any damage or not.

Due to attacking nothing but air the beasts start getting angry and annoyed and keep attacking me, though their attacks are now way more sloppy and readable. It is just like a dog running at you constantly and nothing else. I obviously counter attack each time they attack and and kill of another 2 of them, leaving only 2 left. I stop using my Lightning Sword martial skill because I want the hide off these 2 beasts to make a better bed.

Though it was a bit tough without my Lightning Sword, due to my speed with Lightning Steps it helped me cut the heads of the last 2 beasts alive, not damaging the hide at all. Seeing that I finally killed them without damaging the hide, I let out a sigh and collect these 2 into my storage ring before heading back to my house.

Back at my house I use my sword to cleanly cut off all of the hide on the 2 beasts and using it to create a new bed, Way better than my leaf bed, before cooking one of the beasts and eating it. I can finally have something other than god damned fish. The beasts meat actually tastes a bit like steak, though I seriously don't know why. Finished eating the food it is already night so I enter my house and take out a few crystals before cultivating.
