morning.levi got up early early and began exercising. although he absorbed the bloodline of the boar, his body strenght was still lacking. after exercising, he found a small spring and washed himself. when he got back everyone else was having breakfast.
noah finally decided to stop ignoring ava and ryan was happily shoveling food into his mouth. of course, none of this had anything to do with levi. he wouldn"t care if they killed each other if not for the fact that he needed them to take him to the demonic G.o.d sect.
he walked up and silently started to eat. all the while, ryan was talking to him but, levi ignored him like he was air. after trying for a while he finally gave up. they set off after breakfast.
a few hours later.
after a few hours, they arrived at a fairly large city. this city was called demonic city because it was in the demonic G.o.d sect"s territory. although the demonic G.o.d sect was a demon sect, they don"t do anything to the citizens. at one point there was a beast wave and the demonic G.o.d sect defended the city, though that might be because the sect was close to it.
on a foggy piece of land, where trees were withered and gra.s.s doesn"t dare grow, a large sect sat, unmoving. after walking for a while longer, they arrived in front of a thin fog. apparently, anyone who is not wearing the demonic G.o.d sect"s robe or are with people from the demonic G.o.d sect, would be poisoned to death by this fog.
"welcome to the demonic G.o.d sect. i"ll take you guys to where you"ll be staying." noah led them into the sect. after walking for a while, they arrived in front of a large building with a lot of windows. "this building is where the normal outer sect disciples stay. when you go into your rooms, change into your sect robes." after talking, noah left with ava in tow.
"hey, why don"t we live beside each other?" ryan asked. levi didn"t respond. he was treating ryan like air the whole trip, but this guy didn"t seem to get the message. levi walked up to a room and opened the door. inside was a hard bed, a small dresser and a window.
levi closed the door and changed his cloths. the demonic G.o.d sect robe was all black, it fit him quite well. after changing his cloths, levi went outside. he saw a lot of disciples walking around. after walking for a while he appeared at the front of a tall paG.o.da. the paG.o.da had a name plate hung over the door that read "skill library".
out of curiosity levi walked in. inside there were a lot of disciples reading through books or bring them up to the old lady behind the counter. levi walked around and picked up a book. it was a low grade cultivation manual. it taught beginners how to sense and absorb qi into their bodies.
since he had nothing better to do, along with the fact that he didn"t posses any qi whatsoever, he decided to borrow the book. "low grade qi control manual. you do know that you only have one chance every month to borrow a manual, right? are you sure that you want this skill?" the woman asked. "yes." levi"s cold voice rang out.
to be honest he didn"t know that, he just borrowed the book out of curiosity. since he had the "blood evolution skill" he didn"t really care about these manuals. he could just absorb peoples skills along with their bloodlines. but since he had to be strong enough to kill them to absorb their bloodline he decided to get this qi manual.
he walked out of the paG.o.da and went in another direction. he found himself in a hall filled with herbs that gave off a delicate scent. outside the hall hung a name plate "herb hall". inside of this herb hall were also some rooms with giant cauldrons where people would go to make pills, however he wasn"t interested so he left.
after walking around for a while more, he found himself in a strange place. because of the poison fog, trees and gra.s.s cannot grow in the demonic G.o.d sect. but for some reason, there was a patch of large trees in this area and he didn"t see anyone else coming here.
he thought nothing of it, he sat down under one of the trees and crossed his legs. he closed his eyes and calmed his heart. he tried to feel the qi in the air, but failed. tried again, failed. again and again and again, but still failing in the end. this time, instead of trying to feel and absorb the qi in the atmosphere, he had another thought.
he decided to use circulate the bit of energy that he absorbed from those people he killed around his body. surprisingly, the energy moved to his command, it was almost like his blood. he circulated the energy around his body in attempt to draw the qi to him.

at this point, he was sweating a lot. the energy was speeding through his body, causing it to heat up. finally after the tenth loop, he felt like a tread of something was seeping into his body. it was neither hot nor cold, it didn"t have color but wasn"t colorless. when it went into his body, he felt a satisfied feeling.
the thread went in trough his skin and into his dantian. it left his dantian as went all around his body, as if looking for something. "BOOM!" levi"s body shook as a loud boom resounded from his body. it seems the strand of qi was trying to break something in his body.
feeling that it wasn"t strong enough, the strand of qi circulated itself and drew more qi in. the qi which was now the size of a pinky finger, after feeling like it was strong enough, attacked once more.
BOOM!
CRACK!
a loud cracking sound was heard as levi"s body shook. after the qi broke what was blocking the path to his meridians, it happily went into his meridians as if exploring new lands. after going into his meridians, it seemed to loose it"s intelligence as it just kept circulating, drawing more qi in and sending it to his dantian.
"ughh!" levi vomited a mouthful of black blood. as soon as the blood left his mouþth, it solidified. it looked like some kind of gla.s.s. "hmmm? it seems the enlightend qi cleared your meridians of quite an amount impurities. but how did you manage to survive cultivating here?" at this moment an aged voice rang out.
levi jumped back and looked around in shock. he saw a man with white hair, wearing a black robe. although this man had white hair, his skin was a rosy red color. his back was straight, with a air of supremacy, it felt like he looked down on the world. the man had pitch black eyes and a pointed nose.
"who are you?" levi asked coldly. he looked at the man warily. "me? that"s not important. what i want to know is how you are still alive and sane after cultivating in this enlightenment forest. and you even somehow got it to help you purge the impurities from your meridians." the man said.
"enlightenment forest? what?" levi was confused. "this place is called the enlightenment forest. it is said that this land once had a huge forest of sentient trees. the founder of the demonic G.o.d found the forest in his younger years, he cultivated there and his cultivation skyrocketed, he called it the enlightenment forest. after going out into the world for a few years he came back to the forest, but found that most of the trees were killed by the poisonous gas. he built the demonic G.o.d sect around this last set of trees and set up an array to keep the poison gas away from the last surviving trees. from that point on, a lot of people, hearing how the forest could help their cultivation, tried to cultivate in it, but all of them either went insane or died." the man explained.
"so that is why i asked why you are still alive." he said. "i was just walking around the sect and found this place." levi said. "that isn"t possible. this forest has an array sat up so that people can"t get in, unless..." the man paused. "unless the trees wanted you to come here." he continued.
"why would they want me to come here?" levi asked. "who knows. maybe they think you can do something for them? or maybe they just felt bored." the man said as he turned around and walked away. levi followed the mad with his eyes, he finally sighed in relief when the man dissapeared from from his view.
"who was that man?" levi mumbled, he looked down at his trembling hand. after regaining his senses, he realised that the sun already went down, it was night time. he left the little forest. walking down the street, he saw a few disciples walking with each other while flirting, you already know what"s going to happen when they got home. he just ignored these people and went back to his room.
when he reached his door he saw ryan waiting by it. "hey, senior sist-" before ryan could finish his sentence, the sound of the door slamming cut him off. levi sat cross-legged on his bed and closed his eyes. he found that the qi was still circulating in his meridians and drawing in more qi. "that man said the black bloood that i spat out was blocking my meridians. is that why i was trash? whatever, that doesn"t matter anymore." he thought.
