Jin looked at the old man and greeted him but the old man stopped him before that, he couldn’t take the bow from their saviour. Their village faces these challenges most of the time and this also leads many to give birth to many descendants and they started to fight from a very young age.

This is also the reason that there are very few geniuses among the village, the kids were sacrificed and they might have died even in the strange creatures when they corrode each other for strength.

Many went to the ancient tree and requested to help, the tree only responded that he can never protect them but he can help them create a domain under which they can live.

This continued for generations and the village chief also followed the path of his ancestors. Jin looked at the old chief and sked,

"Senior, why don’t you all shift to a comfortable place?"

The village chief laughed and replied,

"Little guy, it seems that you didn’t know the situation of the outside world. There are villages in this plane with the poorest talent and background. Those who are talented in the village, either they can’t grow up or they leave this village. But it will take us time to leave this place. The farthest place from here also took more than two days.

After villages come the cities and they are advanced in cultivation and exposure to the outside path. This is the only village in the nearby area and the nearest place I spoke of also belonged to the city that lies there. It is also the weakest city.

The cities are also divided in three ranks and they were the light green city, the green city and emerald city.

Each is superior to the last. When the ancestor went to the light green city he was shocked because there were many cultivators in the same realm as him. So, you can imagine the strength that the green and the emerald city must have.

After the emerald comes the state. I am not sure about the state since the ancestral records only recorded this much."

Jin was stunned when he heard this and the old man continued,

"This is also the reason that we stayed here. The strange creatures are also strange. Whenever the strength of the village increases, their strength also increases. In the past, someone from the village broke into the core realm and he also ventured into the city nearby.

When he returned, his face was grim and he only told us to stay here and never leave this place. We are safe under the ancient tree. And on that day, the strange creatures also appeared and this time, there was even a core realm creature among them.

Our ancestor was slayed by that creature and then the strange creatures also slowly decreased in strength. We always stayed like this and we didn’t even know the situation of that city anymore."

Jin was surprised when he heard that. He muttered,

"It seems that things are not that normal."

With that he discussed the main matter for which he came here.

"Senior, we are going to stay in this village for some time and after that we will decide what to do in the future. And during this time, I want all the villagers to look for anything that can be used for forging.

I’m also a blacksmith and I will teach blacksmithing to those who are willing and I also have knowledge in other paths. I’ll also share that with the willing. It will increase the strength of the villagers but we must be careful from now on.

Unless there is a dire situation, we must never reveal our strength. The situation of the strange creatures is not what I imagined. It seems that there are stronger ones and they have the ability to command others in obeying them"

The village chief went pale when he heard that. But Jin told him to focus only on the gathering of the metals to forge the weapons. The village chief sighed and agreed. Then Jin left with Tren. Elvy stayed behind and looked at them.

On the way, Jin asked Tren,

"What is the cultivation school that you all follow?"

Tren was stunned but the he replied,

"We follow the path of spirituality and we use vitality and spiritual energy to cultivate."

Jin nodded. He already noticed that the spiritual energy of the villagers contained vitality and their spiritual energy was much purer than those from the mid galaxy.

After this he went to the ancient tree and then Tren also left them alone and went to cultivate. After arriving at the centre and looking at the tree, Jin asked,

"Senior, is there no place near us?"

The tree trembled slightly and a small chuckle sounded in the centre.

"How can it be possible? The nearby areas are all devoid of any living being. This is the only place from what I can sense. And this is also the reason because I am a present here."

Jin was stunned when he heard that. He looked at the tree. The tree continues,

"Don’t worry, unlike this village, those things outside were not this much exposed to the mist and when they sensed the danger, they already travelled fast and migrated. Only a few villages and cities might have been destroyed.

And only creatures below the emperor level can act. This is also the reason that this village is still safe because the emperor level beings can’t move and the low-level beasts pose no threat to me."

Jin asked,

"Senior, are you an emperor realm expert?

Why are there no emperor realm creatures attacking?""

The tree shook slightly and a voice sounded,

"I am not an emperor but I am not far from that realm but now here I am. We are the beings born from the ancients and our way of cultivation is slightly different from other living beings.

Mother Tree is also a tree and she is the one who blessed all the trees and plants of this plane. We were able to gain enlightenment and this is also the reason that we were able to cultivate but now she became silent.

As for the other question. I am also not aware of the reason. It might be because that realm is not that simple and the mist creatures must also prepare for that. If they want to attack the cities, even an emperor level strange creature might fail. Because each city is the protective formation created by Mother Tree."

Jin nodded and then they chatted more about the mist and the cultivation schools of this galaxy. From the tree, Jin learned many things and they departed after that.

Since they are staying in this village, the village chief also ordered many to gather the metals and anything that can be used for creating weapons. After that, by evening many metals were gathered. Jin created rank one and two weapons very quickly. Since he was not far from rank five, it was just child play for him.

He also added the mecha formation in the weapon with the properties to refine and devour. He told the villages their uses and abilities. When the villagers learned that these weapons can function similar to the hammers that Jin displayed, they became happy.

Jin did not rest, he continued to do this from all the metal and he also asked everyone who wanted to learn blacksmithing. Many were willing to do this and they stepped forward. Jin looked at them and he explained the concept of blacksmithing.

He also performed the basic level of blacksmithing and introduced them to the cultivation school related to blacksmithing. Some lost interest and Jin didn’t pursue them and let them go.

But some stayed behind to learn and Jin didn’t say anything. There were quite a few who even wanted to try the blacksmithing cultivation school but they were rejected by Jin because not everyone is like him who can take both paths.

After creating the weapons Jin guided them how to use and how to make them efficient in the battle with the strange creatures. Jin also strictly warned everyone that they must use it secretly and they must hide their presence completely. Everyone obeyed.

Jin looked at Nox and spoke,

"You also go. After learning the secrets of the strange creatures, I have decided that I am going to make a move only when there is a serious threat and you can kill those stronger enemies now. We have to be careful from now on.

You also have the least combat experience. These battles will open a new world for you"

Nox nodded and he also left. Jin looked at the departed Nox and he looked at his hands. He discovered that Nox didn’t need to use any weapon and his weapon must also be slightly special than others.

For now, Jin decided to create a temporary one for him.

After that battle, the villagers were happy and life resumed in a peaceful way. And time passed.
