Mordred and I were being surrounded for more than three hundred members of the Soaring Celestial Sword Sect lead by four elders in the 8th level, 6th Level and 5th Level of Tyrant Profound Realm.
The other members were between Earth Profound Realm and Sky Profound Realm with almost 50 being in the Emperor Profound Realm.
Behind us are three people: an old man of about 50 years old , a boy of approximately 11 years old and a little girl of 8 or 9 years old.
This people are Yun Gu, Yun Che and Su Ling'er. And the reason that I found them in the first place is because of pure and awesome luck.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
When Mordred and I were released from the comet, we decided to start our journey but before that we needed to know more about the place that we are currently. Although I can use Vimana to explore this world because of its feature to travel at the speed of thought, there's a certain romance in walking to your destination and even walking thanks to our cultivation we can pretty much reach every part of this continent by simple running.
About my actual strength when we leaved Moon Cell gave us our status. The status of Mordred and my are this.

Mordred was finally recognized by her Mother and now she can use the surname Pendragon. These make that Mordred change a lot in her personality but also in her manner of think. Putting in a way she returned when she was known as her Title Knight of Londinium. Thanks to that her relationship with Arturia is progressing in a good way, but they can help to bickering to each other from time to time. So thanks to the acknowledge of Arturia, Mordred became much powerful and if I may say, way more beautiful.
In my case, my stats reflect the hell that I suffered in all those years to the hands of all the heroes. My Profound strength that I display in the exterior is only the 1st level of Sovereign Profound Realm but Grial told me that each re cultivation that I was doing is not something like a + b = c, in fact if we put them in a mathematical formula it is:
w=x^n/(n!*2)
When x is the times that I re-cultivated and n is the actual realm in a numerical value for example, the times that I re-cultivated were 10 and n is equal to 9. Being 9 the numerical valor of being the 9th realm in the first phase of cultivation. So if we convert that right now I have the combined strength of 1,378 10th Level of Sovereign Profound Strength practitioners.
[A/n: yeah that was the result and yeah that pretty much is OP but you guys love OP MC]
So yeah right now I'm OP, I never thought that my re-cultivations will make very powerful and my skills are in the C+ Rank.
But returning to where I was. We decided to walk to find people that were alone to threatening cough…cough… Torture… Cough…Cough… Ask nicely about the powers in this continent.
"Were are going Lucius" Mordred asked me in a very natural way. Our relationship is well… I don't know in which stage we are but she treats me as an equal and I think that maybe she considers me as a potential romantic partner? Whatever. I responded to Mordred.
"I don't know, but I think that this way we may find something or someone. In the first place our plans are to find someone and "Ask nicely" but if they are a bunch of idiots you can kill them" (Lucius)
I say those words with a straight face and maybe someone could say that I was being cold but this place isn't Heaven in which everybody is taking the hands of others, jumping and singing about love, etc. etc. etc. oh no this place is ruled by the old and beautiful law of the jungle, the strong survives the week perish. That is this place.
Mordred asked me "What you think so?"
"If I'm sincere to you maybe is because my luck being EX Rank and my skill Golden Rule that permits me to find treasures that are in my vicinity" I responded to Mordred and my hunch was right in only a few hundreds of kilometers from the landing spot we encountered a lot of precious plants like Demon Skull Vine, Emperor Awakening Heart Lotus, Fire Spirit Grass, Iron Sand Vine, Netherworld Udumbara Flower, Purple Lantern Flower, Star Concealing Grass, and much more. About ores we encountered some kind of Jades, a type of red metal, and a lot of stones that maybe are precious. All of them went to the Gate of Babylon.
Talking to the Gate of Babylon, the Palace that I build has an area of around 100km2, has more than 3000 thousands rooms, Throne Room, Royal Chambers, Royal gardens, 10 Kitchens 20 bathrooms and the vault has a space of 10km3 so in a way that thing is HUGE.
So we were walking, chatting and killing profound beast that thought that we were easy prey when Mordred sensed people 10 km from where we are standing. Smiling at each other (A very bad smile) we used our fastest speed to reach that people and obtain information in the "Good" way.
When we arrived to the place that Mordred indicate me, 3 people were talking to each other in a merry way. They were an old man and two children (boy and girl) it seems that they were making some kind of test because the old man was supervising their skills to recognize poisonous and medicinal plants.
Mordred and I was using the Cloak of Hades that makes us invisible to any form of detection, no matter if is trough using the eyes, spiritual sense or something else. Grial tell us to use them because is better that way when you are scouting or if you want to pass unnoticed and if you don't want that some one finds you. This cloak also has the function to cover our Profound Realm.
If we only have the cloak covering our bodies without our heads we are visible but if we are covering from head to toes we are pretty invisible.
We were spying our guests and checking their profound realm. The old man has the 5th level of emperor profound realm and the kids are only in the 8th and 6th level of elementary profound realm. If we took in to account that the children only have between 8 to 11 years old their pretty much genius in this world.
"Master Gu, what kind of plant is these?" The boy that asked the old man has a very nice disposition, although he is only a child, you can see that his immature face has a valiant feeling. The girl that was standing together with the boy is a cute little girl with black long hair, black eyes and white skin like porcelain.
T
he old man has a long white beard and long white hair that reaches his back he is dressed in a green Chinese outfit with a staff made of wood and his carrying a hat.
"Yun Che, that's a poisonous plant so be careful" (Yun Gu)
When the old man said that name I was petrified, now I know the meaning of "The world is a small place". I never expected to find the protagonist of the novelonly a few moments after being in this world.
I decided to talk to them. I send a message to Mordred telling her that she became visible when after I started to talk to those people and that she doesn't need to attack unless it was necessary.
"That's the Poisonus flower of lament, a very poisonus flower so be careful boy" (Lucius)
Yun Gu POV
"That's the Poisonus flower of lament, a very poisonus flower so be careful boy" when I heard those words I became alert right away. I don't know how is that I couldn't detect the presence of the person that talk. I tell my disciples that stay behind me; maybe I'm not so powerful but I'm proud of my strength.
When I tried to find the person that talk to us, he suddenly appeared only 1 mt away from us. I was shocked he was standing in front of us all the time. If he decided to kill us we won't stand a chance and we will never knew how we died. The person that talk to us is a young boy his handsome face was very striking, his eyes were blue like the skies, and his hair was black with strips of white, he is very tall too but the most amazing is that I never met a human like him. His face was different from us, he doesn't have the same racial factions that we are.
The young man was looking at us in an indifferent way and I can tell that he doesn't have intentions to harm us.
"Who are you?" I asked to the young man his identity and surprinsingly he answer me like if he was nothing.
"Lucius, a pleasure to meet you" the young man say those words with an amiable smile in his face. Although I have my reservations he isn't an enemy.
"My name is Yun Gu, these here are my disciples Yun Che and Su Ling'er. May I ask, what are your intentions? If you think that you can defeat me think otherwise" I said those words and released my full cultivation realm but… the young man was standing there without moving. It's like my strength has no effect on him.
"Old master, please restrain your aura because if you don't my companion will kill you without a doubt and don't think that your strength is impressive. So how about if we talk, I don't have malicious intentions I only want to ask a few questions. What you say" When the man named Lucius finish his words, a person in white armor was standing behind us, in his hands a sword that only looking at it give me the creeps. That sword was makingme sweat cold. Babbling I could only say two words.
"Profound Weapon!" my mind was in a state of chaos, unless I use the poison of the sky poison pearl, this person can kill us without a problem but I make an oath to never use the poison function of the Sky Poison Pearl because I'm a doctor and a doctor don't take lives he restore life with his/her abilities. Seeing that I don't have an option I can only do what the young man said.
"I'm sorry for my discourtesy but I need to protect my disciples" I say that and the man nods to me and later he nods to the person behind us. The person that was standing behind us moved to stand together with the young man and he beckons with his hand to sit.
"old master, I'm not an enemy I'm only here because we were exploring the valley ahead when we lost our way, so without other option we expanded our power to scan the area so we can find people to ask directions, but there's something bugging me. In one of our journeys we saw a middle aged man the resemble your student named Yun Che." Before I could respond Yun Che was the first to talk.
"Where? Please tell me where did you see that man? Please I need to know who I am. And from where I come? I'm begging you?" Yun Che bowed his head to the young man pleading to know who that person is. I found Yun Che when he was only a baby abandoned in the mountains and altought he considers me as his father, I know that he whants to find traces of his origin and maybe his family.
"I saw that person in the Illusory Demon Realm, in there they are more humans with special constitutions, 12 years ago a battle for the throne of the realm was started by some Duke but the Royal Family won in the end, they were losses in both sides and they were two persons that resemble to you, one is the emperor himself and the other his cousin. I don't know if they are related to you but seeing the semblance that you have with the two I think that maybe they are your family. Other think that I know is that the father of the cousin of the emperor was looking to a baby that suddenly went missing, after interrogatingall the people that was involved in the coup, they knew that the Duke kidnaped the baby to make that the cousin of the emperor and his family don't interfere in the war. The Duke seeing that he obtained the ire of that family and being defeated, used a space art to transport him and the baby to another place but in the last moments the grandfather of the baby used his profound arts to stop what the duke intendend to do. The result was the apprehension of the Duke and that the grandfather and the baby to disappear from that place. That's all that I know boy I hope that it's of help to you and other thing their surname was Yun." The man… sorry Lucius told that to Yun Che and I never detect a single lie in what he told us.
Yun Che was crying to that revelation although the probability is very small, Lucius gave him hope to find those people and maybe find his real family. Yun Che bowed again to express his gratitude but Lucius stop him from doing it.
"Boy you only need to bow once and only to your parents, master and the people that they do a favor, in this case I'm only tell you about what I know so don't bow anymore. If you want I can help you reach that place because it's very far away. But before that… Old master, you are being persecuted by a lot of mongrels." When he finished speaking more than 300 hundred people was surrounding us. I know very well who they are because of their emblems.
"Soaring Celestial Sword Sect" (Yun Gu)
Lucius POV
Soaring Celestial Sword Sect (Yun Gu)
When the master uttered those words; five people that have the cultivation of Tyrant Profound Realm, advanced to our surroundings and started their famous villainous speech.
"Divine Doctor Yun Gu, we came to hear your answer about what our sect master Mu Yingchan asked you?" (elder)
"I will never hand the Sky Poison Pearl to people like your sect master" (Yun Gu)
When the elder was starting to speak again and continuing his villainous talk i decided to intervene.
"You know mongrel, could you leave us alone, don't you know that we were talking something important and here you are interrupting our conversation. Right know I'm very pissed so you better leave right now or I'm gonna use you as a sandbag to practice the movements that my Masters teach me. So you better leave and don't utter a single word again." I said those words with a tone so cold that you can feel that the temperature is dropping.
"Inso…" before the elder finished his words I was standing behind him and hug him from his waist and I use the technique known as German Suplex that Quetzalcoatl loves to do.
Boooom and CRACK! The elder has his head buried in the soil, only his torso and legs were visible, the impact created a spider web of cracks in the terrain.
The members of the Soaring Celestial Sword Sect were totally dumbfounded one of the most powerful elders in the sect with a profound strength of the 8th level of the Tyrant Realm died just like that. Before they could react I summoned the Gate of Babylon and surround them with it and decided to end this farce once from all. With the Gate of Babylon active I liberated a barrage of attacks that obliterated all the disciples of Soaring Celestial Sword Sect leaving no one alive.
After that I started to collect the spatial rings and throw them to the Gate. Finishing what I did, I beckoned to Yun Gu to leave this place with us.
"So old master what they told is truth? About you possessing the Sky Poison Pearl?" (Lucius)
Yun Gu POV
"So old master what they told is truth? About you possessing the Sky Poison Pearl?" (Lucius)
When Lucius said that, I knew that my secret was exposed. Everybody knows that the Sky Poison Pearl is one of the Heavenly Treasures and it contains a lot of power. If you have this pearl you could poison millions of people and cure a million more.
"Sigh… I didn't want to lie to you but as you know the Sky Poison Pearl is one of the Heavenly Treasures and is in my possession, with this I could cure a lot of persons and at the same time I could kill millions of people with it" I decided to tell him the truth because he helped us in escaping the pursuit of the Soaring Celestial Sword Sect.
"Old master I'm not blaming you, I'm only saying that if you don't have the power to protect your treasures, said treasures become a curse. If we were not here you and your disciples will be dead by now. So is better if you have more strength or give it to someone that you trust." I know that the words that Lucius said are true but…
"Old master lets have an exchange, I will gave you something of equal value for the Sky Poison Realm." Lucius interrupted my thoughts and his proposition take me by surprise. What kind of treasure he have that could possibly match the value of the Sky Poison Pearl… like knowing what I was thinking a golden space ripple was forming in his hand. From there a lot of scrolls were suddenly in the floor.
"What I'm offering you in exchange is Knowledge. This Knowledge is about medicine and other fields. The difference is that these knowledge needs to be used by a lot of people, in the hands of one person is wasted. What I'm offering you is the knowledge that it's mean to be imparted to the masses, this masses that you call mortals. I want that you accept this offer and became the father of a new age, an age in wich the mortals will have access to basic needs like medicine, drinking water and a lot more. If you accept I will take you all to the Illusory Demon Realm. In that place you can start anew and that place could become your new home if the family of your disciple Yun Che is there. And you will don't have the need to be preoccupied about leaving your disciples and family alone. So what is gonna be old master." (Lucius)
