I moved by means of the big swaths of grass and open fields, bushes rose ever so sparingly on this enclosed space, although I’ve little understanding of if this complete place was part of this world, or from the stuff I learn after I was again on earth, a separate enclosed dimension. Although unlikely, this place may most likely be on another facet of this continent as a substitute of a secret location. Nevertheless it’s by no means mistaken to watch out.

This place is likely to be the resting place of an Ascendant cultivator, and from what I perceive, this might have a number of trials and tribulations to the individuals searching for the ascendant’s treasures.

However I am not too eager on getting myself killed in searching for treasures of an entity that far surpasses my stage of understanding. Dangers entail rewards, however the looming menace of Loss of life is nice, and it might be silly if I have been to throw myself to my loss of life if I have been to overestimate my talents.

The Poison God talked about to hunt hazard and discover reward for one’s dangers, however he additionally talked about to watch out for there’s a skinny line between braveness and recklessness. Provided that the dangers are well worth the effort, and I am absolutely able to surpassing them even at nice effort, will I transfer to acquire what the Ascendant has to supply. In any other case, if solely loss of life awaits as I take silly dangers, then I might relatively go away this space than strive my already nonexistent luck in opposition to insurmountable odds.

Struck by realization, I lastly started to know higher how this complete factor works, birds die for meals and males die for wealth. However I will suppose pragmatically proper now, away from thoughts and sharp of focus, I will completely choose my present conundrum. Plainly there’s something right here that is calming my ideas and making me in a position to completely ‘see’ cause.

As I continued transferring by means of the grasslands, the e-book vibrated in my chest as my single eye was drawn to a naturally shaped religious plant that I’d have missed for widespread grass. The religious plant appeared precisely just like the grass subsequent to it, alongside single strand inexperienced grass petal. If it have been some other individual, they might haven’t given this grass a re-examination, however this was the Fickle Blade Grass. A seventh-grade religious herb that can be utilized to bolster medicinal capsules. Receptariers would use this to extend the facility of their capsules, it is a generally recognized herb within the area of Alchemy, nonetheless, although it’s well-known, this can be very uncommon. And for a very good cause.

This plant appears feels and acts like regular grass, although it has a religious vein inside it enabling it to domesticate heavenly power. However the actual cause why this factor is so uncommon as a result of as soon as it births into the world, it is going to solely final for a number of days earlier than it is going to wither and die. Although many did not perceive why this plant would die, from what I bought off the Poison God’s e-book, he theorized that this plant’s very existence is to defy heaven.

Weed, or grass, stomped on, chopped, minimize, or burnt, will at all times develop again so long as its roots stay. And this very simple-looking grass is an embodiment of heaven-defying nature. Thus after a number of days of its delivery, heavens is not going to tolerate its existence and can minimize off all heavenly power from round it, insulating it from the world and thus dooming its existence.

I picked up the herb and positioned it inside my bag. Uncommon are those that handle to acquire a stalk of this factor, however the second I raised my head, I used to be stunned to see so a lot of it just some toes away.

Fickle Blade Grass grew in abundance on this place. How, or why? It escaped my understanding, but when what the Poison God stated was true, and judging by the dense heavenly power on this place I may additionally put a number of theories of mine to work.

First off, this place was a sealed location, that means that not even heaven can intrude, thus the Fickle Blade Grass had grown to abundance.

Secondly, this place is undoubtedly past the notion of ‘heaven’ thus it is in a position to thrive in heavenly power, though this may sound contradictive, I may guess that there’s something on this place that’s supplying this small ‘world’ with heavenly power, although not heaven itself, maybe a treasure, or a spirit stone?

I haven’t got any proof to validate my theories, nevertheless it’s attainable that one thing is powering this complete place up, in opposition to heavenly regulation. Thus this place is each hid from heaven, and on the identical time has sufficient Heavenly Vitality inside it to permit a myriad of Non secular Herbs to develop.

Lastly, if one was in a position to create this place, seal it and lock it from the eyes of heaven, how highly effective may they be?

The final query was one thing I did and didn’t wish to be answered.

Figuring out an enemy’s capabilities was half the trouble into discovering out how one can defeat them, however an ant cannot kill an elephant even when it is aware of how robust he’s, for the disparity in energy make all efforts nothing however a moot try at defying unshaking potentialities of doom.

I walked forward, whereas plucking all of the grass I may discover, for all of it’s wasted if it have been to stay right here unattended, I may additionally use a few of this grass into growing the efficiency of numerous my capsules, particularly poison capsules. Although I haven’t got the flexibility to start out mastering Receptarism, because the Poison God calls it, or Alchemy because the individuals of this decrease realm name it. I can simply dilute a poison capsule in a cup of water and add a number of drops of extract from the Fickle Blade Grass to extend the poison’s efficiency.

I continued transferring by means of the open discipline, discovering much more religious crops and herbs. So a lot of them I felt that it might be a criminal offense if I have been to strip this land barren of so many treasures.

Although I continued plucking with out regard, as each single piece of grass and religious herb would solely go to waste if nobody took them. however I nonetheless saved my bearings about me, there was one thing that I mustn’t overlook as a result of greed. I made positive that for each ten stalks of grass I gathered into my Poison God’s E book, I positioned one stalk into my holding bag. For causes that I want would by no means occur, however one can’t be too cautious.

I saved gathering the herbs and continued transferring till I seen one small little element that grew to become as obvious as a sore thumb after some time.

I’ve spent a number of hours on this discipline, however the solar by no means moved an inch. Thus giving me two choices, the primary, I used to be most likely trapped in a restriction that I did not discover, an phantasm the place my soul is caught on this ‘heaven of religious herbs’ whereas my physique is about to be ravaged by some odd monstrosity.

Fairly a farfetched principle however it is a cultivation world and such situations would not be too unthinkable.

The second was a affirmation that this place is nothing however a created area, a world with stagnant pure phenomenon, the place the solar, the bottom, and even this soulless breeze that retains transferring have been all synthetic and manufactured. But when all of this was pretend, how may the religious herbs thrive? Heavenly Vitality was such a wondrous factor that it might defy the pure order and make a world in opposition to legal guidelines.

I sighed as I had no technique to verify both suggestion and continued on my merry means gathering herbs comforted by the truth that the Poison God’s E book by no means spoke of hidden risks.

After extra tiresome hours of gathering herbs, sufficient hours really till my again began to harm from selecting them up, I discovered myself in entrance of a lake.

A blue stagnates lake, the place not even its waters rippled. However the water in it appeared as stagnant as a mirror’s floor, for the lifetime of me I used to be unable to know why it did not rot over and switch right into a disgusting rancid quagmire. In any case, the pure alignment ought to have affected the stagnant pond, or at the least have some algae develop on the pond. This pond felt unnaturally pure, and it one way or the other irked me.

But, as a result of its clear and crystal floor, I used to be in a position to see one thing contained in the pond, there was a flower the dimensions of a person’s fist on the backside of the lake.

One other religious herb, and simply as I approached the lake, the poison God’s E book vibrated in my chest, sending a message on to my thoughts.

‘Do not take one other step lest you need your life squandered and your soul shredded, for you are within the presence of a Soul Devouring Bloom.’

“Okay, that is not ominous in any respect…” I stated to myself. However to my dismay, even when I did not take one other step heeding the e-book’s command, one way or the other, the lake shuddered and ripples moved alongside its floor. Heck, I used to be complaining that this factor wasn’t appearing as a pure lake, and now that it does, I really feel hella extra fearful. Particularly since stated flower shot up from throughout the lake, although I say flower, it was sitting on prime of the pinnacle of a jade serpent the dimensions of a high-speed prepare. And the serpent did not look too happy with my ugly self.

“I am too outdated for this shit…” I cursed as I noticed the large behemoth open its mouth huge, able to swallow me complete.
