"As I was saying, Jiang Chen, your mission that was a.s.signed by the main branch"s headmaster is to collect a strand of the earth vine. The location is near the forest south of the sect. The time limit is 10 days."As she was saying this, the headmaster had Gu Ming on the ground under her foot."
"The reward will be 30 contribution points."

Accept Y/N]
"I accept this mission."
"Oh, by the way, the main sect master said thank you for teaching his son a lesson. He also said that he will be meeting up with you to properly repay you."
"???????"
That night, Jiang Chen was pondering on what happened. Why was Gu Ming so young now when on Earth, he was close to his dying ages? Jiang Chen had to get up early tomorrow and start his travel to the nearby forest to collect the earth vine. Jiang Chen thought to himself before slowly going to sleep.
"This sect is really weird...."
The next morning, Jiang Chen went out of the main gate of the Sky Divine Sect. While he was along the road to the forest, Jiang Chen decided to check his status after a long time.
"Status."
[Host: Jiang Chen
Cultivation: Body-Tempering Stage 3
Skill: Traversing The Heaven Small Proficiency 2nd Stage
Lightning Touch Medium Proficiency 1st Stage
Bloodline: Locked]
"I can probably train Lightning Touch to the 2nd Stage before the 10 days are up."
Jiang Chen quickly ran into the forest that stretched across the lands and seemed to go on forever. The darkness that the shadow carried inside the forest seemed to give off a demonic feeling.

Sky Divine Sect Master"s Office
"Shoot, I forgot to give him the map to find where the earth vine is."
...
"Oh well, That kid can manage without the map."
--------------
Meanwhile, Jiang Chen was walking on muddy soil and muttering under his breath.
"How am I supposed to find this earth vine when I don"t have a map or anything? I can"t possibly look through the entire forest in just 10 days!"
Jiang Chen was really mad at the very end of the day when the sun was about to set under the mountains.
"Ah!"
Jiang Chen remembered the first reward bag he ever got and received an item. He first went inside of a cave on the side of a cliff that was about 10 feet high up.
"Inventory!"
[1 Eye Of G.o.d]
"System, what does the Eye Of G.o.d do?"
[Unknown
Use Y/N]
"...How would you expect me to use this item when you don"t even know what it does!?!?"
Jiang Chen started to ramble about how this world was cruel in giving him a system that didn"t even know what items that it gives out.
"nothing ventured, nothing gained."
"Use Eye Of G.o.d."
Ding!
[Eye Of G.o.d Consumed]
A searing pain a.s.saulted Jiang Chen"s eyes causing him to scream out. The scream reached across every corner of the forest. Demonic beasts and other residents of the forest started to either run towards the sound or run away.
7 days later, the excruciating pain from Jiang Chen"s eye started to fade away and he looked around. The cave looked fairly untouched except for the scratch marks that Jiang Chen did while he was in pain. The strange thing was that Jiang Chen was able to spot the tiniest detail even when he saw the same cave 7 days ago. Chants started coming from outside the cave. When Jiang Chen looked outside, the entire place looked different than what he saw when he went into the cave.
"Oh Fire G.o.d, please accept these offerings to appease your anger and torment. Please, leave our village a way out to survival!"
Three young women were laying in coffin-like boxes. There was a crowd of people kneeling and praying altogether.
"Am I interrupting a funeral event or something?!?!"
Jiang Chen was really confused when he peeked out from inside of his cave. When the people on the ground heard what Jiang Chen said and all of them started to panic and scramble away.
"Great Fire G.o.d! Please accept these virgin women as an offering."
The man in the front started to bow. Jiang Chen saw through his eyes that the man was shivering really hard.
"I"m not the Fire G.o.d you"re talking about."
The man looked up and seemed surprised.
"But the howls were you asking for the offerings that we been neglecting for a long time."
"Sorry, I"m not your so-called G.o.d."
The women that were in the casket looked up at Jiang Chen with a confused look on their faces.
"May I ask where the nearest patch of earth vines are?"
"Yes Fire G.o.d, the nearest of the earth vines is in this direction."
The man stood up and point in the direction that was deeper into the forest.
"Thank you."
"It is my honor to serve the Fire G.o.d."
"As I said before, I am not the Fire G.o.d you"re talking about."
After saying that Jiang Chen ran into the direction where the man pointed. After a while, Jiang Chen slowed down to a halt and focused his vision forward. The surrounding image grew larger and larger until the tiny pebbles on the soil were able to be seen clearly. This was the first benefit that the Eye Of G.o.d brought. The entire line of sight in front of Jiang Chen was seen by him in a mere moment.
"Wow! This is amazing!"
The patch of earth vine was spotted coiling around a tree. Jiang Chen hurried over to next to the tree and harvested it.
"System, how many days do I have left for the sect mission?"
[Sect Mission - 3 Days Left]
"3 Days!? How long was I in pain for?"
Jiang Chen started to practice Traversing The Heaven by trying to find demonic beasts. He came across a tiger the size of two adults stacked on top of each other.
"This shall be my target for Lightning Touch."
Jiang Chen jumped out of the bushes and grabbed the tiger"s neck and applied Lightning Touch. He then charged his leg and took a shot at the tiger"s private spot.
"Rinse and repeat."
"Rinse and repeat."
.....
Ding!

"That tiger only provided some practice. What a selfish tiger."
