In a scorched ground where rocks and trees are strewn all over, a scenery of chaos and destruction can be seen. A lone figure walks as he slowly checked his vicinity. From the debris of his surroundings he noticed that a lot of demon beast who didn't manage to escape and was burned to crisp.

s.h.i.+n Jiao was dumbstruck by the destructive power of the new bomb he made. Shaking his head he swear to never casually take it out again. What hurts his heart is the new optical gadget he crafted, the hologram projector. By using light glyph and mirror crystals, he was able to produce an almost perfect hologram of himself. Because the light itself produces heat, anyone would be fooled to thinking that the hologram was real. This can be seen with Hong Li's reaction upon seeing his image back then.

But since it was a success though was destroyed s.h.i.+n Jiao didn't mind it. He can still improve it until he can craft a lifelike copy of himself which can walk and communicate at the same time. But this needs more time to research and design.

He's been searching and checking the surroundings for a couple of hours now, and was somewhat contented with the result of the battle.

"Hmmm… Exploding things are too messy but effective I guess. But what a waste, those demon beast core could have been a great harvest. Tsk tsk. Wait a minute… If I can just control the use of natural energy I could make more effective bombs that would not destroy indiscriminately."

A smile appear on his mouth as he thought of the infinite possibility of this new idea. While thinking he suddenly felt a very strong aura from the town.

"What a strong spiritual force, maybe some powerful being is in town. Hmm… Who might that be?"

He look curiously at the direction of the town of Dis.

Meanwhile at the town mayor's manor.

While looking astounded from the window, the town mayor cannot help but frown. As he was also forced to kneel on the ground. The heavy aura was too domineering, it was like an invisible hand holding his whole body and pus.h.i.+ng him down.

"This is infant soul forming realm, who could be some bored senior to visit this small town?" the mayor thought as he forced himself to stand up and slowly walk to the direction of the strong aura.

The whole area was full of dead cultivators, the remaining ones who are still alive are all prostrating in the ground. From above floats an old man who gently landed on the ground. His gaze roams his surroundings and his heart felt a little sad. He shook his head in disappointment, then revert his gaze to the people around him who are still kneeling on the ground.

"You have been selfish and let the younger generation suffer. Many geniuses have died this day, this small town would have prospered have you cooperated with each other. Tsk!"

The old man raised his hand and suddenly hundreds of cultivators appear. They are cultivators wearing white and brown robes. Upon seeing this the Abe and Xiemen clan had a sudden realization.

"The Mido and the Zok clan! Your esteemed self is from the Zok clan? You are Migor Zok!…"

Ming Xiemen the patriarch of the Xiemen clan exclaimed, as a bewildered look can be seen on his face.

"What, that's impossible! I heard that Migor Zok died 300 years ago. How could that be?"

Broom Abe the patriarch of the Abe clan was also surprised upon realizing something.

The old man just smiled and then he released his oppressive aura which made the pressure on all the town lifted. Then from behind him the Zok clan leader, Mark Zok step forward.

"Our Zok clan have decided to unite all of the clan in the town of Dis. We wanted to stop the killings and the plundering. We wanted this town to grow and prosper and become a great city just like Liberty. The Mido clan already agreed to this proposition, only the three remaining clans have not. But I guess the Li clan is no more. So what say you?"

The look on the Xiemen clan leaders had a hint of hesitation because after the battle strong hatred can be felt between their clan and the Abe clan. But then as cultivators they already know that life and death is natural. As they contemplated with this suggestion someone broke the silence.

"I agree with this suggestion!"

A man shouted midair while he descended. Then facing the Zok clan ancestor he bowed clasping his fist.

"My humble self greats the esteemed one…"

The mayor of the town of Dis had a smile on his face.

"Michael Tang, my how you've grown. It's been a long while."

Migor Zok the ancestor of the Zok clan eyed the mayor and nod his head.

"It's been a while teacher. I can't believe that you've already reach the infant soul realm in your travels. Congratulations!" The mayor politely said as he try to determine the Zok clan ancestor cultivation level.

"Ha ha. No need for that. I just came back from the Imperial city and wanted to help my clansmen."

Then the Zok Ancestor face the rest of the cultivators around him. With a meaningful gaze, he raised his voice.

"As my grandson have said. Our goal is to unite all clans in this town. I won't let any more promising youth to be sacrificed. Now all clan leaders are to follow us to the town hall to discuss this matter… And this is not a request." With a domineering look Migor Zok along with the mayor walks toward the town hall.

Because of the power difference, the Xiemen and Abe clan leaders didn't have the courage to rebel. As the difference between gold core realm and infant soul stage is like heaven and earth. They could be killed by the Zok clan ancestor with a pinch of his fingers if he wanted to.

The infant soul stage is the starting point of being an immortal, having a lifespan of about 500-800 years. Which is close to being a nascent immortal who can already live for a thousand year but with a strength enough to topple mountains.

As the clan conveyed, the Zok clan ancestor tells them the reason why the clans in the town should be unified. It is for the upcoming enrollment of Xi cultivation school.

The Xi cultivation school is the school who trains each of their student up to the late stage infant soul forming. The school spend all of their cultivation resources (which is according to rumors almost unlimited) to each of their students to be the best cultivator in the land of Xi.

Their goal is to be able to place to the top 200, as the school will only accept 200 students this year. The minimum cultivation level of a qualified student should be in the gold core realm.

Upon hearing this good news each of the clan leaders became ecstatic and didn't argue anymore, as this would be a chance for them to excel. Although their junior will not belong to only one clan but they could represent the town itself which could give them more boon and recognition. As the Zok clan ancestor promised to help any qualified youth who wanted to join reach the gold core realm.

While all the clans became united, s.h.i.+n Jiao decided to stay in the forest for a while because he wanted to get the heat off of him. And he also felt that he was about to reach 40 spheres in his dantian. What made him astonished was that, even though he didn't absorb any demon beast core for a while. The natural energy in his spheres still slowly regenerates. He also noticed that when he killed the Li clan patriarch, Hong Li, and the 1st elder of the Li clan, the sphere in his dantian became 39 and only a small amount left for him to get to 40. So for 3 days he stayed in the forest and hunted some level 4 and ordinary level 5 demon beast.

3 days later…

A faint s.h.i.+ning aura suddenly glowed from within s.h.i.+n Jiao's body as he reached 40 spheres. He also noticed something amazing, upon reaching the 40th sphere a tiny separate energy ball was formed in the middle of his dantian. This ball is what made him very happy as he can feel spiritual energy emitting from it.

"This is… spiritual energy. I… I… can now cultivate spiritual energy. Ha ha ha…"

The spiritual force within his body is a little weak, but this didn't made s.h.i.+n Jiao feel disappointed. As he now knows he is now able to cultivate. The spiritual fluctuations from his dantian is that of body refining stage, but if he combined it with the strong energy of 40 sphere inside his dantian, his true raw strength can equal that of a golden core peak stage cultivator.

With this discovery happiness is truly evident to s.h.i.+n Jiao's countenance. Then from inside his mansion s.p.a.ce he grabbed one of the s.p.a.ce rings he had and used a strand of his spiritual energy. Upon seeing the stack of spirit stones inside it. He could not help himself but give out a wide grin.

"I can now use these spiritual stones to increase my cultivation. Well, I still need to go back to the town and get the rest of my spiritual stones. He he. This is too exciting… I wonder what I can make now that I can cultivate spiritual energy."

Along the path to town, a smiling youth walks happily and without a care in the world as his mind drifted along his imaginings.
