Chapter 9 - 9 This World Is Mine!

"Bing as in Ice, Xian as in Immortal".

The formless pressure his words generated caused a cold sweat to break out in every person in the room. Even the giant 2.5 meter tall Village Chief was no exception!

"Your excellency what a good name! It suits someone as strong as yourself!".

The obvious flattery caused Bing Xian to inwardly roll his eyes but nodded anyway at the Village Chief's words.

"Your Green Valley Town is quite welcoming. My impressions of the people here are improving by the minute", said Bing Xian, his facial expressions neither humble nor arrogant.

This had been his name in all three of Bing Xian's lifetimes. In his first life he was Bing Xian the ordinary high school student. In his second life he was Bing Xian, the traveler without Innate Spirit Power.

In this life he was Bing Xian! Cultivator and Spirit Master!

Those titles still boiled his blood and he unconsciously smiled at the thought of them, a smile whose intent was misinterpreted by the Village Chief.

The Village Chief let out a hardly laugh, "Hahaha! Your praise it too much your excellency! Someone of your cultivation must've seen many cities far greater than this one! Hahaha!".

Bing Xian sat down at the table and had many different conversations instigated by the Village Chief, but none were too invasive.

'I think I like this guy Bing Xian! He's complimenting us a lot!', whispered the [Immortal Midnight Crane].

'En. He's really good at small talk, I wonder if-.....'.

The small black crane waited for Bing Xian's response but titled it's head in confusion at his lack of response.

'What are you looking at? Did you see something good or something?', the black crane and Bing Xian communicated through their shared Sea of Consciousness. When he saw that Bing Xian hadn't responded through their connection, it exited his consciousness and rested on Bing Xian's head with its formless, invisible body.

The black crane noticed the boy's gaze was drawn to the newcomer to the room before rolling its eyes and re-entering Bing Xian's Sea of Consciousness.

'Humans, what a predictable species....'.

Bing Xian's eyes were drawn to the young girl that had just entered the room. The Village Chief's eyes lit up when he saw her and ran over to her side and patted her on the head paternally.

"Your excellency! This is my only daughter, Wang Xue. Wang Xue, this is young man is Bing Xian, he's a cultivator of the....".

The subtle probe was less than obvious but Bing Xian complied anyway. He wasn't thinking with his head right now.

"Pulse Condensation Realm".

Both their eyes went wide, and they both took more than a few seconds to fully comprehend what they had just heard.

Pulse Condensation Realm!

What did this mean?!

To cultivators still in the Body Transformation Stage, it meant everything!

This meant that one had successfully linked their meridians up with their Dantian and allowed the flow of their true essence to flow throughout their body! Instead of congregating in a martial artist bones, and muscles, it flowed cleanly through the body!

It represented an increase in lifespan!

It represented status!

It represented nobility!

Within the Sky Fortune Kingdom, those who had attained Pulse Condensation were awarded with a noble title from the King.

That meant this small child in front of them, was equivalent to one of their nations top echelons.... and he was only six years old!

"Your excellency, the distance between my daughter and you may be a few years, but she is already at the peak of the 1st Stage of Body Transformation. And she is only 15 years old".

Bing Xian nodded and gave the girl in front of him a quick glance.

She was undoubtedly beautiful. She skin was as clear as jade and as tender and milky as as the moon in the sky. Her long raven black hair fell down her back like a liquid waterfall and reached down to her round perky behind. The size of which was only emphasized by slim waist of buxom ċhėst, another ȧsset which shouldn't belong to a 15 year old.

She stepped forward and smiled at Bing Xian. Her clear beautiful black eyes contrasted his deep starry blue ones and her red, cherry lips curved gracefully as she spoke.

"Xue'er greets his excellency Bing Xian".

In his second lifetime, women were attracted to strong men with high cultivations. Being a mortal an unable to cultivate due to his lack of innate spirit power, made him an unattractive partner in the eyes of many.

That isn't to say that he hasn't had a relationship before.

It's just never been with such a-

"-beautiful girl before....", he muttered in a voice just loud enough for her to hear.

Wang Xue cheeks changed to a pale pink and her smile widened just a little bit more. Making her appear much more charming.

"Xue'er, why don't you and his excellency take a walk. Show him around Green Valley Town. Take as long as you need".

The Village Chief gave a gentle push to his daughter and the six year old Pulse Condensation martial artist, the meaning of which wasn't lost on either of them.

She nodded, albeit a bit apprehensively and gestured for Bing Xian to follow her.

The two left the Village Chief's house and many of the villagers watched enviously at the small dark blue haired boy be escorted around the Village with the girl of their dreams.

'So this is what being the center of attention looks like.... I could get used to this!'.

He inwardly grinned at being accompanied by the beautiful Wang Xue but kept a straight face while talking with her as the pair walked about the village.

"If I may ask, where do you come from sir Bing? The world must be a very big place if a six year old Pulse Condensation Realm martial artist could be cultivated".

Bing Xian nodded in response.

"Yes, the world is unimaginably huge. Just the distance from Green Mulberry City to the capital of Sky Fortune Kingdom is roughly 10,000 kilometers. And the distance from here to my origins.... can be measured by mere words....".

Bing Xian contemplated his previous lives.

He was unsure about where his family was in his first life, and neither had children nor relatives in his second.

In this life, he remembers faintly someone telling him about the death of his mother and father and remembers the grave he made for them just outside Green Mulberry City.

"In this world of cultivation, there are many wonders and mysteries left to us ancients sects and forgotten kingdoms.... they have become the foundation upon which we stand and will continue to grow as time flows and we become ancient and forgotten....".

Bing Xian's words did contain any profound intents or hidden laws in between his meanings, but it possessed a certain type of attraction to Wang Xue. A girl who had never gone more than a few kilometers outside of Green Valley Town.

"Many men rise and an even greater number fall. Myriad treasures and endless riches await in the world.... did you know that the majority of the world is covered in water, Wang Xue?".

The girl shook her head and listened closely to Bing Xian's words. He was caught in his web of stories and couldn't get out without a fight.

....too bad she wasn't fighting.

"The ocean covers most of the world and many Spirit Beasts with cultivations you couldn't even begin to imagine exist.... the land has already been explored by mankind and numerous Sects and Holy Lands cover it, from East to the West, yet the sea remains untouched.... do you know why this is.... Wang Xue?".

She shook her head subconsciously and muttered, "No".

Her enraptured voice would've sent shivers down any other man's spine, and the healthy flush on her cheeks would ensnared all who look at her.

Bing Xian smiled and a white light illuminated this part of the forest and a wave of cool air forced Wang Xue to cover her eyes for a moment.

"Sir Bing?! What just happened? Are we under.... attack....". Her words trailed off at the end.

In front of this 15 year old girl who had never seen the wonders of the world before, had this small green and brown forest opening transformed right in front of her!

"Snow! Sir Bing it's snowing-!".

Her focus shifted from the falling snow to the figure standing in the center of it all.

White hair more pure and sacred than any she had seen before. White eyes more powerful and otherworldly than even a Divine Beast. The young boy she was supposed to escort around the village suddenly transformed, and a heavenly snow angel took his place!

A long stream of cool white air was released from his body.

"Do you know why the sea remains untouched, Wang Xue?".

She shook her head in response.

And then, a single sentence she would remember until the end of her days struck with a force more power than a bolt of lightning.

"Because this world is mine!".
