Yin-Yang Harmony System-Chapter 244
After Yufei took a short bath, three of them left the village in Zemin's carriage. It was a medieval-styled carriage with one exception. It had a sword connected at its front inside of horses. And, with enough qi, she could easily manipulate that sword.
While traveling thousands and thousands of miles at the speed close to sixty miles per hour, he knew it would take five to six days. Within those days, he finished reading 'Magic and Martial War God' and 'Fighting For Eternity'.
The former was completed while the latter was paused for some reason. From these books, he learned a lot. And, he learned just how cruel a man can be. Like slaughtering billions of people in a matter of seconds, one can't describe it as cruel.
Xia Long Fei, from his understanding this man was cruel, ruthless, manipulative, but among these all, he was a dreamer. Mike never knew people could go to this extent just to chase that dream. He doesn't know why but he feels little similarities between Xia Long Fei and Jenny. 𝙛𝐫e𝚎wℯ𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄o𝚖
One can do anything to fulfill his dream, while others can do anything to fulfill someone else's dream. But both have one aspect that makes them incredibly close. Both are crazy for dreams. They place their dreams above anything else even more than their own life.
While Xia Long Fei's son Johnny Fenton was the exact opposite of his dad. He just wanted love and affection. His fate was indeed miserable. Although he was the protagonist of his own biography, he could never become the strongest, he could never live happily with his family.
And, in the end, he even had to separate from his own son. He was manipulated by his past reincarnated sister, father, mother, and even an A.I. that he trusted the most. The only person that changed his fate was his wife Rose.
She fought for him and for his freedom. She even chose the same path as his father just to help him get free. Mike doubted his own life for a moment. Although he wasn't a fan of tragedy and helplessness, he couldn't help but feel empty with these.
He felt his life had no excitement at all. It was all about fucking the girls, acting silly, smashing the villain's head, and hogging on all the glory. It felt really bland. Yes, he had a father who fucking hates him. But, he also had a mother who loves him the most.
And, even though his father hates him, he never tried to do anything against him. At least, when he compared his life to Johnny who almost died due to his mother's manipulation, who almost forgot his path due to his father's manipulation, and who almost hated his family due to his sister's manipulation.
It was only at the end, he understood that some people in this world are just crazy for their dreams. They don't just sit back and do nothing when they are helpless. They step up and use every single trick they have whether it is good or bad, to achieve their dreams.
Mike's father hated him but he never truly make his life difficult. His mother did make a world full of lies but it was only heavy because Mike was emotionally weak. In fact, if his emotions were as strong as Johnny's, he wouldn't even flinch over that fact.
He understood the difference between him and Johnny. And, he also understood the difference between him and Xia Long Fei. At this moment, he felt he really needed a change.
A change in behavior, attitude, and emotional change. He doesn't want the change like that battle attitude change. It was like a short-term change that had already disappeared from his mind. He wanted a long-term change.
Broken bones, torn muscles, blood covering her body, but Johnny merely smiled and cheered his wife for the win. Was it because he loved her less? No, he loved her so much that he didn't even think of having the second woman.
It was trust. A simple yet unyielding trust in his wife. This is what he lacks. Mike realized he does love Jenny and others a lot but when it comes to trust, he doesn't really trust them. At the same time, he isn't ruthless enough.
He is indeed ruthless but not enough. After reading those books, he finally understood this was actually a training ground for him before he actually enters the multiverse. World of Cultivation was different than his previous world.
This world does put strength above all to the point where the master can use his disciple as a tool. His previous world still had some laws that were needed to be followed. And, this place is the ultimate place where he can finally achieve his true attitude.
And, he knew there would be lots of clichés but this was the best of his improvement. At least, he believes he can make some permanent changes here.
On the seventh day, the carriage stopped. Mike, Zemin, and Yufei walked out of the carriage.
"Wow!" Mike gasped at the view in front of him. He knew the cultivation world is beautiful but this sure was next-level stuff. The mountains towering up to the skies. The top was covered with snow, the bottom was covered with forest.
The white cloud spread throughout the mountains. And, the sun shining above the clouds. When he looked around, he noticed he was standing at the one of mountain's middle parts. It seemed to be artificially created especially with the designs of the place around him.
It looked just like plain ground. But surprisingly, this mountain was nearly ten miles. And, the plane that was created for people to live was nearly two miles circling the mountain.
"This is so beautiful." Yufei's eyes lit up as she exclaimed. She ran around spreading her arms while a few yellow butterflies encircled her. When Mike saw those butterflies and birds around the mountain, he found their body contained qi as well.
Zemin smiled when she saw Yufei enjoying herself. Mike had already explained everything regarding her strength. Although she felt Mike was a little bad doing this, she didn't oppose him. First, it didn't matter to her. Second, this thing actually increased Yufei's strength.
"Let's go! I will take you to the sect." Zemin said while leading the way. She walked towards the massive gate. It was a red gate without any doors or barriers. But, as soon as they reach in front of the door, blue dots of energies appeared in the middle and combine together.
Upon combination, they formed a sword. It was nearly a meter long with a double-edged blade. Zemin raised her finger and took out the sword energy inside her fingertips. The sword energy formed the shape of a sword and moved towards the double-edged sword.
It merged with the double-edged sword upon contacting it. The sword slowly fades away and the path got open for them. Mike and Yufei started walking behind Zemin as they crossed the gate and entered the sect area.
After walking for ten minutes, they stood in front of an old man. Mike looked at him and thought 'So lame! This is nothing new.'
The old man was tall nearly six feet and had a white beard with a bald head. He was wearing white pants and a shirt of ancient style and a white robe over it. The white shirt had beautiful red jade buttons.
"Greeting Third Elder!" Zemin bowed down as she greets the old man. Mike and Yufei also follow the same routine but they didn't speak.
"You have finally returned, disciple Zemin. I believe you gained something good in this journey for you to return this fast." The Third Elder smiled as he stood in front of the massive house structured in an ancient style. It wasn't exactly a thatched house but the design was the same.
"It was indeed fruitful. And, I returned with a new potential disciple." Zemin smiled as she replied and shifted her head at Mike.
"Oh! But, he doesn't have the spiritual root." When Mike heard that, he was slightly shocked. He thought this elder had to check his spiritual by touching him.
"That makes him perfect for that technique which is why I brought him to our sect." Zemin smiled as she spoke.
Bang!
Suddenly, the third elder released an intense pressure around him. This pressure wasn't just pressing Zemin and Mike but also the ground and the buildings around him. But, surprisingly, Yufei was completely safe.
Mike immediately understood that the third elder wanted to test him. He instantly released Space Law and created a barrier around him. This was the second time he had used this barrier. Although it wasn't strong previously, it had grown a lot when he comprehended Space Law. 𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om
And, during these six days, Mike had been thinking about Zemin's words. He can do all sorts of things with space law. He hasn't thought it over but he still remembered a few moves he had using Space.
"Oh! Space Law!" The Third Elder's eyes sparkled when he saw the space barrier around Mike.. He instantly withdraw his pressure and looked at Mike with a hungry ghost expression.
