Soul Continent, southwestern Heaven Star Empire, Itrus Star City.
Armic Spirit village. If one only heard its name, might sound like a rather astonishing village. In fact, this was merely a single village of three hundred households in Itrus Star City. The reason why it was called Armic Spirit was because in legend, a hundred years ago a Spirit Sage ranked Spirit Warrior came from there. This was also the eternal pride of Armic Spirit village.
Outside Armic Spirit village was, without exception, a vast expanse of farmland where grain and vegetables were produced and sent to supply Itrus Star City. Armic Spirit village was located in the north side of Itrus Star City, and while it wasn't considered a major city, the border of another empire was, after all, very close, and naturally, merchants of both great empires traded there. Consequently, Irtus Star City flourished and the lives of the commoners in the villages around the city were better than elsewhere.
Barely at daybreak, in the distant east, the sky was a pale grey dawn color. On a small hilltop of Armic Spirit village was a thin and tall silhouette.
This was a 15 or 16 year old boy. Evidently, every day he endured the heat of the sun. His skin was a healthy wheat colour, his black short hair appeared very neat, and his blue clothes, though simple, were clean.
Speaking of, to climb this hundred meter tall hill couldn't be an hard task, but strangely, when he arrived at the summit his face wasn't the least bit sweat on his forehead, nor was he panting. His expression appeared content and pleased.
The boy sat down on the hilltop, his two eyes unwaveringly looking to the east where the dawn sky was gradually brightening. Slowly starting to inhale through his nose, gently exhaling through his mouth; continuous inhalations and faint exhalations that, in the end, became a splendid cycle.
During this process, his eyes suddenly opened wide. A faint trace of Purple energy seemed to flash in the light of the growing bright grey dawn in the distant horizon. Without astonishing vision and concentration, it would be impossible to notice it.
At the sight of the purple energy, the boy's spirit was so completely focused he no longer even exhaled, only a light and slow inhalation. At the same time the two eyes firmly stared in concentration at the flickering purple light.
The purple energy didn't last long; by the time the eastern light gradually rose to become daylight, the purple energy had completely vanished already.
Only then did the boy, with a long exhalation of internal turbid air, slowly close his eyes. White energy poured out through his mouth like a bolt of unrolling silk before it slowly dispersed.
After sitting quietly for a long time, the boy once more opened his eyes. In the center of his eyes there was surprisingly, perhaps because of that impure purple energy, a glimmer of light purple. Although this purple didn't remain long before quietly disappearing, that very existence was nevertheless distinct.
With a dejected sigh, the boy showed a grudging expression. He shook his head and said to himself,
"Still impossible. My Mysterious Heaven Kally skill is still unable to break through the first serious bottleneck. It's already been a full three months, so why this result? EvenPurple Heavenly Eye, which relied on purple energy from the east that could only be cultivated in early morning, has shown better progress. With Mysterious HeavenKally skill unable to break through the bottleneck, my Mysterious Control Hand is also unable to advance. When originallycultivating to the border between the first and second tier, I didn't seem to come across circumstances like this. How come, when Mysterious Heaven Kally skill altogether has nine tiers, it's this first tierthat is this troublesome? Is it because this world is different from my original world?"
This boy, who had arrived in this world five years ago, was exactly that Kally Sect's Aarav Kumar who leapt from a cliff for his ideals. When he regained consciousness, he discovered that, in addition to a warm sensation, he was unable to move. But the expected death did not arrive, and he was very quickly born into this world.
Aarav Kumar wasn't clear on what was going on until much later. He hadn't died, but he was also no longer the former Aarav Kumar.
The reborn Aarav Kumar needed nearly a year to learn this world's language. He still remembered that, at the time he was born, though he was seen a woman sleeping beside him, by relying on his predecessor memory, that woman was his mother, Jhanvi Joshi. His father in this world at that time was already dead in his childhood.
His mother Jhanvi named him Sai as a memento of his dead husband .
Because of this, the village children around his age gathered every day to ridicule him. Nevertheless, in his heart, Sai Joshi was fully content. This, after all, was the name he had right now was his father. He was content with simply having a name to remind him of his father.
Since arriving in this world, Aarav aka Sai Joshi had initially felt shocked and afraid. But, with the subsequent excitement as well as the present tranquility, he had already completely accepted the reality that seemed, to him, like the second chance from God. Here, he might be able to realise the biggest wish he had in his previous existence.
Though he came into this world, Sai Joshi still possessed the greatest wealth: his memory. As Outer Kally sect's most outstanding genius, the methods of manufacturing Kally Sect's various mechanisms, including secret weapons, were all engraved in his mind. In addition, he had made off with Inner Kally Sect's rare manuscript that he had yearned to try for many years. While learning it, he had committed to memory and learned by heart Inner Sect's Mysterious Heaven Profound Record, and with it, Aarav aka Sai Joshi hoped to reproduce Kally Sect's brilliance in this world.
"Time to be going back."
Sai Joshi glanced at the color of the sky, his thin and tall body leapt up and he ran down the mountain. If anyone had caught sight of him at this moment, they definitely would be staring wide-eyed in astonishment. Each of his steps was shockingly capable of bringing him nearly 3 meters. The mountain's crevices and uneven ground could not be said to have any effect on him as he effortlessly dodged and rapidly advanced between openings. Even compared to adults he would still be much faster.
What was the essence of Kally Sect? Secret weapons, poison and lightness skill. The greatest difference between Inner and Outer Kally Sect was the usage methods of secret weapons. Outer sect gave priority to mechanisms, and for inner sect the standard was genuine technique. Poison use was likewise an Outer sect talent, while in the inner sect, secret weapons were handed down in a direct line from master to disciple and very few employed poison, since they were basically not needed.
