Badass Celestial Emperor Returns!

(5) Enlightenment

Zi Yingjun placed the spirit crystal back to her hand. "Im also at the first rank. Zi Yan Yue, Im not used relying to anyone else other than myself. Take it back." after saying it, he turned around then left. Zi Yan Yue can feel how distant he is. She haven't seen him for three months after learning in the village school. He must have changed? In her memory, Zi Yingjun is always a lonely person who studied a lot. She suppressed her doubts and chose to follow Zi Yingjun behind.

Arriving in the classroom, Zi Yingjun chose the desk next to the window. Zi Yan Yue wanted to sit next to him but the crowds of students blocked her path. Obviously wanting to build a connection with her.

For the whole time, Zi Yingjun is staring outside and pondering deeply about his plans. Two years later is the destruction of Zi and Jiang Clan. They were devoured by the hegemonic super force, Ye Royal Family. Given enough time if he properly managed everything in cultivating rather than listening to every nonsense in this class, he can reach Foundation Building in the first rank.

Before leaving, he have to take enough wealth, resources and weapons with him. First, he must learn a martial cultivating technique. In his previous life, as the Demon Celestial Emperor, all he has were top notch. There is a proper technique he can use to strengthen his qi and physical body but it'll slow his speed in cultivation.

Second, a soul core. Soul cores were used by a cultivator for acquiring a demon or spirit beast's skills. Once a beast dies, if it is strong enough, they will leave behind their soul core. A cultivator can tame it by weakening its soul or using other methods. Once the soul is tamed, the cultivator can fuse with the soul and activate the beast's skills which is two times or even ten times powerful than a cultivator's normal strength!

Third of what he needed were spirit crystals. If he can't have enough of them, Zi Yingjun can just scam others. Zi Clan will have enough spirit crystals to sustain him for few years. The next clan he should seize is Ye Royal Family. When he was eighteen in his previous life, Ye Royal Family sets up a martial tournament for youngsters that are not part of their control. Those who can reach top ten are allowed to raid a tomb of a Heavenly Qi Stage cultivator. It was not only to leave favorable impressions on the youngsters but it is also to rope them in their clan.

Zi Yingjun tried to participate in his previous life but he failed. That was one of his memorable failures. A Heavenly Qi Stage cultivator is the peak of mortals, he heard that all those who participated had immense gains. In this life, Zi Yingjun will surely enter that tomb and swear to take all of it!

If only he can leave this academy while hunting in the area behind it. Unfortunately, students who are learning here are the one allowed to enter the hunting area. Their teacher finally entered, first introducing himself and started discussing the lesson. Zi Yingjun is already old. He doesnt need to be lectured by a forty-year-old person.

Teacher Zi Zhen was satisfied to everyone when they accurately answered his questions. However, he felt like there is a person who remained silent. Before ending the lesson, he glanced around the classroom and saw one particular young man, sleeping with his head on his arms that are propped on top of the desk. At first, he knew its Zi Yingjun from the way he dressed. He let the matter go and thought the young man must have been exhausted for refining spirit crystals. But if it were to happen for the next day, he will leave behind a warning.

After the class ended, a new teacher came in. Still, Zi Yingjun slept the whole time. He have concluded that for the day, he shall slumber and at night, he will hunt for preys. Half a day had passed, he still remained dreaming. If not for Zi Yan Yue waking him up for meal, he would have slept for the whole day...

Zi Yingjun spent his time chatting with her for a bit while eating. When lunch time is over, they went back to their classroom again. If he is not sleeping, Zi Yingjun will just stare ahead him in a blank daze, without any intention to listen at the lectures. For he knew, all what they are saying were basic knowledge about the cultivation world. Also, they kept on praising Zi Yan Yue or Zi Gu Bo that there are only few things to learn.

His lazy movements were noticed by the other students and even the teachers. They thought he must have been tired learning since his second-rate talent is not first-rate. It must have disappointed him. They knew Zi Yingjun is a studious boy but that was his ignorant self. The Zi Yingjun before them is no longer the same, he knows more than what they can learn.

The whole day of class finally ended. Zi Yingjun went to his dorm earlier than them. He took a sword with him before setting off at night after dinner. He finally arrived in front of a tall gate. Zi Yingjun can't help but reveal a sly smile. He leapt from tree to tree agilely while looking around him in cautiousness.

Using his divine sense, Zi Yingjun was able to spot the nearest beasts that he should avoid. Divine sense is a special ability a cultivator can open in enlightenment once they reach a certain realm. Zi Yingjun is able to use it when he is in the Celestial Life realm after getting enlightened about his path of life. That is, to chase what is impossible. It brought him the meaning of life and he knew he must not give up on it no matter what. Immortality is beyond Celestial Death realm but even those who reached the eighth realm said it was hopeless. But for Zi Yingjun, he will chase what is impossible since it gave him the meaning of life, the reason to keep going on.
