In a world of cultivation and martial arts countless experts saw their days of glory begin and come to end, no one knows how old this world is nor how big it is, there is mysteries that has never been solved their numbers are infinite like the stars in the night but this is why this world is marvellous and beautiful, because it makes one’s blood boil, because it makes one’s life exciting but one must never forget that it is also filled with innumerable dangers and unimaginable places.

The Zen continent, a continent where humanity saw its birth and also a place filled with struggles, in this era it is divided between three major powers, the Qing, Zhao and Wei kingdoms each of them has its customs and history and each is also large and powerful, the Qing kingdom is the oldest and the Wei kingdom was established in the recent hundred years, it can be said that it rose suddenly , it exploited the fact that the Zhao and Qing kingdoms were in a state of war , due to the Wei kingdom sudden rise the other two didn’t have a choice but acknowledge its existence and thanks to it the Zen continent saw a time of peace and prosperity, because the three kingdoms equalled each other in power a balance was created , it is quite logical, due to the fact that if two kingdoms engaged in a war the third will have the benefit of reigning on the continent.

The Qing kingdom is situated in the north of the Zen Continent, the north is cold and it constantly snows, because of its special climate it is also called the cold Kingdom, The Zhao kingdom in the contrary is in the south, it is situated in the middle of a desert and the rain is rarely seen, the Wei kingdom chose the east, over there the climate is temperate, there is countless forests and valleys, the scenery is filled with greenery and the most advantageous is that the kingdom is near the sea.

Like their names each kingdom is governed by a family, the Qing, Zhao and Wei families , The Qing family is well known their history is deep and their origin comes back a thousand years ago , they were a famous tribe of warriors reputed for their swordplay and agility.

The Zhao is also a well known family, but contrary to the Qing they were not a tribe but a clan of mages that rebelled against the late kingdom that was before them.

The Wei family is the most mysterious, they rose recently and no one knows their origin or from where they came, they only know the king, Du Li Wei a sage and also a powerful mage reputed for his rich knowledge, apart from that nothing.

In the Zen continent cultivation is the most important factor, a person with a strong cultivation can rise to the top and change his life, nevertheless common folk are not persecuted but not favoured either , a cultivator can become a mage or a warrior , by cultivating one spirit one’s becomes a mage and by cultivating one’s body one becomes a warrior , this two methods of cultivation are each labelled ( Internal cultivation and External cultivation ) , external cultivation is easier than Internal cultivation ,the proof is that a mage and a warrior at the same level are not equal , the mage is slightly stronger.

Cultivation is divided by stages, each method has their respective stages, for example the first stage of internal cultivation is (Spirit realm) and for external cultivation (tempered layer) and each stage of cultivation is divided by nine ranks.

The woman was his wife.

“But dear he is an important client we can’t risk of losing him “said the black haired middle aged man with a serious expression then left , the woman expression indicated that she loved her husband and was worried .

“What? Are you insane? “Yelled Luo Xin.

Lu Feng was stunned by the reaction of Luo Xin.

“Luo Xin what do you mean it’s that forest i always go there to collect some ingredients” Luo Xin didn’t understand why Luo Xin is so worked up.

“Didn’t you hear? Yesterday four men entered the forest to cut wood but only one came alive, according to him a ferocious beast attacked them “explained Luo Xin.

“Impossible, there are not even animals in that forest why a beast appeared I can’t believe it” Said Lu Feng.

“I advise you to not go because we are friends I don’t want you to die “said Luo Xin with a worried look.

Lu Feng expression became complicated, he hesitated but he also promised his client and the ingredient is only in that forest, a conflict surged in his mind.

“Thank you Luo Xin I will keep your words in mind “said Lu Feng and left.

After Lu Feng silhouette disappeared, Luo Xin sighted.

“My friend you are too stubborn but i pray that nothing happen to you “

After going to his house and picked some materials, in the end Lu Feng decided to go inside the forest.

The forest was not far, only twenty minutes and Lu Feng arrived in front of the entrance, the trees were tall but the forest was not dense so the visibility was not bad, but the soil of this forest was special so some rare flowers sprouted here and there, Lu Feng with small sac on his back, breathed in some air and quickly entered the forest.

Meanwhile inside the shop, Luo Xin and Xiao Yuan were talking.

“Your husband is too stubborn I warned him to not go “said Luo Xin.

“he is always like that , if something is related to work he becomes too serious and no one can stop him , but Luo Xin I’m worried, if something happens to him I don’t know what to do “

“Nothing will happen to him your husband is not weak he has some cultivation he can at least flee unscathed “said Luo Xin to comfort Xiao Yuan.

Baaaaaaang !!!!!!!!!!

Suddenly the earth trembled, and a loud crash was heard, immediately Luo Xin and Xiao Yuan hurried to see what happened.

“My god!! What is that?”Xiao Yuan was stunned.

“th...that “ stuttered Luo Xin .

Black clouds covered the sky, it was like the world became dark, and loud crashing sounds echoed everywhere, it was because thunder was raging like a monster , some people in the streets believed that the world was coming to an end or a god became furious , some even fainted .

“He ..Hey something is strange the thunder is only crashing in that direction “said Xiao Yuan fearfully.

Suddenly Luo Xin froze.

“My god that place is the forest that Lu Feng went in “

Xiao Yuan was stunned then she began to cry .

“No!! No Lu Feng !!!” she became panicked and wanted to go there but Luo Xin stopped her .

“Xiao Yuan what are you doing, if ...if you go you would die”

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

A few minutes before the black clouds appeared, Lu Feng successfully found the flowers he searched for and began to collect them.

Roarrrr!!!

A Loud roar echoed in the forest, and the floor began to tremble incessantly, Lu Feng was startled by the sudden roar.

“What? There is really a beast in this forest ho...How come? “Lu Feng became terrified because he thought what sort of beast can shake the floor like this so he wanted to flee immediately but when he turned to leave he froze like a statue, in front of him appeared a two meters tall beast, it resembled a tiger but its fur was thick and was black and its fangs were sharp like a razor , the most terrifying thing was its eyed they were blood red , it fixed Lu feng with its murderous eyes ready to pounce on him , Lu Feng was paralyzed by fear , he has never seen this sort of beast .

Lu feng didn’t know but this beast is called (red eyed panther) it’s a magical beast of the fourth rank.

Suddenly the Panther jumped and wanted to attack Lu Feng , the Panther and Lu Feng were so concentrated on each other that they didn’t realize that the world became darker and darker , when The panther claws reached Lu Feng a Loud noise boomed and the forest was illuminated for the span of a few seconds then the panther instantly turned into specks of dust .

Lu Feng was stunned he clearly saw the thunder strike the panther but it was abnormally brutal that it turned the panther to ash, it took a while for him to regain his senses.

“What actually happened that thunder, that monster, I’ can’t believe it I was actually saved by thunder, my God i can’t believe it “Exclaimed Lu Feng.

Lu Feng suddenly noticed that it was abnormally dark when he raised his head he saw the dark clouds he was stunned again then thunder began to form in the clouds , this time it was several times bigger that the last time , Lu Feng began to feel fear .

It was too late to escape so he closed his eyes and abandoned himself to his fate.

A loud boom several times more powerful echoed and thunder came again from the sky toward Lu Feng.

After some time Lu Feng opened his eyes, he didn’t believe what he saw, nothing happened the forest was calm and even the dark clouds disappeared like there was nothing in the first place.

A noise broke the calm state of the forest, it was like the cries of a baby.

Wahhh!!! Wahhh!!

Lu Feng looked toward the source of the sounds and saw that at his feet there is a small wooden basket and inside it there was a baby crying.

At that Time Lu Feng didn’t know that in the near future this baby will change his life .
