ATG: My genius is almost frightening!

Chapter 2: Long time no see.



Back in the cave, the space trembled slightly, and Yun Wuji reappeared.

"Although space power consumes too much energy, it sure is convenient," Wuji remarked with a smile. "That beast was really dumb. It couldn't even figure out that I was trying to lure."

From beginning to end, Wuji's planning was impeccable.

From the initial position to the first attack to the verbal provocations, he had calculated everything precisely.

However, although the process looked simple, it was actually very dangerous.

One misstep could have turned him into a meat paste, especially at the last moment when the beast burned its blood essence.

"Now, the Emperor Awakening Heart Lotus is mine!" Wuji said with a happy smile as he stood before the lotus. With a wave of his hand, he stored the lotus inside the Sky Poison Pearl.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The Tyrant beast left a soul mark on the lotus, it sensed that someone had taken the lotus. He could have killed the beast with the sky poison, but that would have been a waste. The Sky Poison Pearl took a long time to recover because of the death of its spirit.

If he were to use it recklessly like Yun Che, the poison would deplete in no time, without even getting the chance to get his revenge on the people who killed his foster father.

Not to mention that killing them with poison would be going easy on them. Wuji wanted to make them regret living in this world; he wanted them to wish they were dead!

He was someone who had lived two lives and experienced the modern world. Ignored and helpless, trapped in a cycle of monotony, moving between home and work. Although it wasn't as brutal as this world, it seemed to suffocate all passion and will to live for many people in the modern world.

Life seems pointless.

This made him far calmer than Yun Che, who was needlessly reckless and impulsive.

After collecting the Lotus, Wuji searched the cave but didn't find anything of value.

He wasn't too disappointed; the Lotus was his primary goal from the beginning, and anything else was secondary.

He learned about the existence of Emperor Awakening Heart Lotus from a severely injured sect master.

His sect accidentally discovered the Lotus. One of their disciples entered the cave by mistake and reported to the sect.

The sect master was an emperor realm expert. He gathered the sect elders and planned to lure the beast to steal the Emperor Awakening Heart Lotus. Unfortunately, the beast was too strong, it killed most of the elders and severely injured the sect master.

Wuji happened to pass by, and learned this information from the sect master when Wuji wanted to kill him, the poor guy thought that he could exchange the information for his life.

Stupid motherfucker, of course, Wuji killed him.

Yun Wuji held an overwhelming resentment toward all the high-level cultivators of this continent. Their relentless pursuit, driven by their desire for the sky-poison pearl, forced him into years of hiding and constant evasion. One day he would massacre them all!

Wuji gave the cave one last glance before teleporting.

Sitting cross-legged, Wuji's mind focused on his profound veins. The profound veins inside a human body are like a robust and mature tree with many "branches" spreading out in all directions, and on each "branch" laid a profound entrance.

A person can typically have a total of fifty-four Profound Entrances. Usually, most of these entrances would be blocked, with average individuals having around 10 entrances opened. The more profound entrances that are opened, the faster the cultivation speed.

When all fifty-four profound entrances are opened, it is known as Heavenly God's Spiritual Veins. Someone with these veins experiences maximized cultivation speed and never hits a bottleneck in the nine mortal realms.

Wuji's veins were significantly larger and more robust than others, but what truly set him apart were the 78 entrances, all of which were innately opened.

These veins granted him numerous abilities: the ability to mobilize his profound energy in a split second, his explosive strength always at its peak, and an enormous energy storage capacity.

Yet, these abilities paled in comparison to what else his veins bestowed upon him. Foremost among them was his capability to crush cultivators in realms higher than his own. Wuji could effortlessly confront opponents in higher realms above him. Of course, this also can be partly attributed to the fact that he is innately 3 small realms higher than others. Additionally, he remained unrestricted by any rules or limitations. Restrictions that hindered others had no hold over him.

For instance, the ultimate limit of profound strengths that a normal person can cultivate is three, and the ultimate limit of divine legacies one can obtain is also three, but these constraints don't apply to Wuji

He had already transcended the limits of elemental laws cultivation permitted to others.

Although Wuji didn't have any divine legacies he was certain that he could cultivate as much as he wanted.

Wuji named this extraordinary set of profound veins the "Unfettered Profound Veins."

After a while, Wuji opened his eyes and retrieved a pill from his possession.

Emperor Awakening Heart Pellet!

The records had said that one pellet would allow someone at the early stage of the Earth Profound Realm to break through into the Sky Profound Realm.

However, an Emperor Awakening Heart Pellet refined by the Sky Poison Pearl can allow someone to break through to the mid-Emperor Profound Realm!

Wuji was already at the peak 13th rank of the Earth Profound Realm, and his goal was to use

this pill to break through to the first rank of the Sky Profound Realm.

He didn't harbor extravagant hopes because he knew how difficult it was to break through after reaching the 11th rank.

Taking a deep breath, Wuji threw the pill into his mouth and focused on refining it.

After a while, the energy inside the pill transformed into a massive amount of energy rushing through his veins, yet strangely gentle.

A that moment, Wuji immediately guided the energy to help him break through.

Boom!

First Rank of the Profound Sky Realm!

Finally, after about 15 minutes, Wuji managed to break through.

"Hahaha! I succeeded!" After opening his eyes, Wuji laughed, elated that he had managed to

break through.

Before attempting to steal the Emperor Awakening Heart Lotus, Wuji wasn't certain he could

break through with its help.

But in the end, he succeeded!

Reaching the Sky Profound Realm meant that a cultivator could fly!

In fact, the Emperor Awakening Heart Lotus was just one of the factors that helped him break through. Before this, he had already consumed many pills that he had researched on his own. These pills were the fruits of his efforts over the past few years. Without them, he would never have dreamed of reaching the peak 13th rank of the Earth Profound Realm. Unlike Yun Che, who never actually used any of the things he acquired to their full potential, and in fact, never bothered to explore any of his divine legacies or Heavenly Profound

Treasures.

The number of types of pills refined is less than 10!

That's a total waste of a Heavenly Treasure!

"With my current strength, I can finally leave this continent. But before I go, it's time for some payback," Wuji declared, rising to his feet. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes as a thin, transparent barrier enveloped his body, shielding him completely from the outside world. Not even a speck of dust could touch him now.

After taking a few steps, Wuji teleported. When he reappeared near a tree thousands of kilometers away, the sudden appearance startled the birds perched on its branches. In the next instant, he vanished again, leaving the bewildered birds looking around in confusion. Unity Sword sect is the most powerful sect in Sky Wing nation. While not officially holding the reins of governance, their influence eclipses even that of the royal family. It is widely acknowledged that true authority rests with the Unity Sword Sect, shaping the nation's destiny behind the scenes.

Their sect master and grand elder are both Tyrant Profound Realm cultivators, and it is rumored that the previous sect master is still living in seclusion.

The sect's expansive territory is multiple times larger than the capital of the kingdom, spanning three distinct zones: the Outer Area, the Innate Area, and the Central Area.

The Outer Area accommodates outer disciples and servants, while the Innate Area is designated for elders and innate disciples. The Central Area is reserved for the grand elder, sect master, and their immediate family.

In a residence within the innate area, Xia Ming was focusing on cultivation when suddenly he sensed something "Who?!".

As Xia Ming turned around, he found himself facing a handsome young man enveloped in a peculiar, transparent white barrier, who looked at him with a subtle smile.

"Who are you?! How did you get here?" Xia Ming demanded his voice tense as he gathered his

profound energy. Despite the young man's seemingly harmless smile, the palpable sense of danger he radiated was undeniable.

"Long time no see," Wuji greeted with a warm smile.
