The Immortal Legacy: Black Mists Demon ( Book 1)

On The Rise

Jia Lin stood there on top of the gray compass with a pleased expression on his face. His body, spirit, and meridians were all fully connected with the profound Qi of heaven and earth that was flowing through the atmosphere. Earlier he had thought that it would've taken him a long time, even months maybe before he could've broken through to the next realm due to the fact that his meridians were three times that of others. And that he would've also needed three times the amount of resource and profound Qi to Breakthrough as well.

His body felt much stronger than it uses to, his bones felt much tougher and his muscles felt like they were holding in an explosive power that wanted to break free from his flesh and destroy the world. His senses were increased to a shocking degree, he could hear much clearer than before, see much further and also feel each and every single cell that was inside of his body. The feeling was truly great, the thick profound Qi that was flowing in the atmosphere was truly a blessing to all those who practice cultivation around and on the mountain.

One of his goals for coming to this martial school was already starting to show signs of progress even before entering into the school itself. The profound Qi in the atmosphere was thick and pure, much purer than the profound Qi within the city of Muo and other places such as the mystic forest which was filled with thick Yin Qi. In his earlier days when he was inside the mystic forest, he had borrowed Layna's yin Qi powers, the Art Of Bless, 

and Yin Fists to boost his battle powers, but now she and the other legacies were all sealed away inside of him by Lin Fren for three years. It as already been four months since then and he thought that he would never be able to connect to the profound Qi between heaven and earth in such a short period of time without there help, but now his worrying was over.

The profound Qi that entered his body through all the pores on his skin, all entered into his 720 meridians, where they were then transformed into black mists. All cultivators under the heavens use profound Qi as a means of practicing martial cultivation, whether it be the demons of the underworld, profound beasts, humans, Immortals who uses Immortal Qi, or true gods who use external Qi, all had to use profound Qi as a means of enhancing their cultivation base. 

Jia Lin wasn't different either, though his powers were of the black mists and without the usage of the mists, his battle powers would fall to a near 0%. The black mists within his meridians weren't just created out of thin air, no, they were created through the absorption of pure profound Qi which is then transformed into black mists within his meridians.

"That black mists, what was it. The aura of death inside of it is so strong, how is he able to control it" thought the headmaster as he looked at Jia Lin with a complicated expression. "Wong Gi, you really hit it big this time, maybe I should've taken this boy for myself haha" Qin Long shook his head in regret as he looked over at the meditating Wong Gi, to him, Jia Lin was a shining star that would one day shine brighter than the sun in the future. Such a talent must be groomed with care no matter what.

"I must notify the other elders" He smiled to himself, but all of this was kept deep within his thoughts, Jia Lin look around him and frown.

"Wait, come to think of it. I wonder how did that girl do in the strength test. Sh*t where are those three ugly grandson's of mine, this grandfather sure hope that they made it in hmmm"

Jia Lin's mind shook as his divine sense was sent out to scan his surroundings, he was searching for Zen Lin and the others. In his mind, everything for 300 meters come into view, he stood there on top of the massive gray compass up high in the sky but couldn't see anything down below with his divine sense, this was due to the fact of being too high up in the air. 

"He's using divine sense and it's so powerful. To think that he has just broken through and yet he has 300 meters of divine sense, just who is this boy" headmaster Qin Long was a cultivator who was at the spirit awakening realm, with his strong senses, he could easily pick up on what Jia Lin was doing. Thus he used his divine sense to measure the distance Jia Lin's divine sense could cover and was thus shock by this dark horse once again.

When a cultivator breaks though from the Saint realm into the Earth Realm, his divine sense would then awaken. It didn't meter if a cultivator was born with inborn talents or not, or if he/she had hundreds of resources at their disposal, once a cultivator reaches the Earth Realm his/her divine sense can only cover an area of 250 meters. This Jia Lin himself knew well, he too was as shocked as the headmaster but he said nothing, he simply associated it with his mysterious martial path, The Black God's Divine Way.

"From the very first time that I started practicing in the martial way, this is the first time I've come across such a powerful divine sense. And it will only get stronger over time" Jia Lin thought to himself, his desire to save his beloved burned even stronger within him.

"How do you feel now young man," the headmaster asked with a serious expression

"I feel great headmaster"

Jia Lin replied with a smile. The headmaster frowned for a while then turned away, he did not retell the story of the black mists that covered the sky or the sword which it had formed, not to mention the deadly intent that he felt from the mists while Jia Lin was recovering or should one say breaking through. He also didn't mention the fact that Jia Lin had absorbed a shocking amount of profound Qi which once again, shocked even him out of his boots.

The massive gray compass started to slowly float down towards the ground, the air in the atmosphere was thin. It was as if something had devoured the entire atmosphere, Jia Lin frown for a moment as he sensed this strange phenomenon. He looked around him for a while with confusion written all over his face.

"Strange, the Qi in the atmosphere, it's almost gone"

He mumbled, he then looked up at the headmaster but after see how headmaster Qin Long was looking back at him, he suddenly realized something. "Could it be that I was the one who did this" His mind shook but he said nothing as he stood there beside the meditating Wong Gi. Colorful lights shine with bright colors down below the on the ground, the defensive formation was in full rotation as it gave out shocking energy undulations, as if on the verge of attacking and defending at any given time.

The young martial cultivators looked up at the shining colors on the defensive formation with a strange look in their eyes, no one knew what was happening, the only thing they saw was that the two elders that were with the headmaster suddenly popped up out of nowhere and then all the other elders sent the defensive formation into full rotation.

"Is there going to be a battle or something"

"Why did the elders activated the defensive formation do suddenly, is the school under attack"

Various talks came for the young observing cultivators that were in the competition to enter into the martial school. They watched as the elders shot into different directions on the field and sat cross-legged to operate the formation but none of them knew why. After a while, they saw that the massive gray compass that the headmaster and the rest of the elders were standing on was slowly floating back down, no one said anything, they just watched and kept their attention focused and on the alert.

Soon the massive gray compass touched down onto the ground, where it then shined with a gray hue, transformed into a gray beam of light, and shot up back into the headmaster sleeves. They all looked at the headmaster with wired faces, then to the meditating Wong Gi, and then finally onto Jia Lin who looked indifferent.

"Who is that kid, is he one of the core disciples"

"Why is the headmaster paying so much attention to him"

"Wait a minute that's no core disciples. That kid was just outside with us, he was the one who almost fought with elder brother Nix"

"Yeah that's right I remember him now"

"You son of the b***h, get down here now" shouted the monkey face youth with a murderous air around him.
