Chapter 1 - Harness Cultivator
"He escaped to the North Side!"
"Get him! The Celestial Supreme has ordered him to be captured, dead or alive."
Numerous shouting were heard all across the Ninth Heaven as the Celestial Guards chased after a notorious man- the one known as the Harness Cultivator.
"Yo, stop chasing me!!! All I did was harness some of her profound qi." The Harness Cultivator shouted in anger as he dodged multiple attacks that were launching toward him.
"Hmph, enough of this nonsense Lee Tao!" One of the Celestial Guards snorted. "You dare to harness the profound qi from the Celestial Supreme's daughter?"
"The daughter was willing!" Lee Tao shouted to defend his honor as he sidestepped to the left.
"I'm done talking to an unreasonable guard!" Lee Tao then shouted as he halted his movement and revealed a talisman.
"This is bad-" The Celestial Guard muttered gravely. "He's using a teleportation formation."
"See ya later suckers!" Lee Tao smirked as he waved goodbye to them.
As soon as the talisman was activated, a flash of blinding light enveloped the whole area, the Celestial Guards immediately covered their eyes.
The talisman only lasted for a few seconds, however, by the time the light disappeared, Lee Tao was nowhere to be seen.
"Damn it! He got away!"
Sometime later, Lee Tao appeared inside a secret base that he had already prepared in advance.
In the secret base, there were multiple shelves around the side with some sort of pill containers, talismans, and even some clothes.
There was also a couch available for seating as the room was illuminated by some lightbulbs.
Meanwhile, Lee Tao stripped some of his clothes angrily and threw them toward the couch.
Lee Tao then panted heavily as he walked toward a corner and punched the wall.
"Damn it!" He cursed.
"That Celestial Supreme is such an unreasonable man. All I did was harness his daughter's profound qi and nothing else."
"For a shameless cultivator like you it's really hard to imagine that you're the reasonable one." A voice suddenly echoed from behind.
Lee Tao stood still at the sudden sound. He was sure that he had secured the base already so that no intruders could enter without alerting him.
'How did someone break in here? No- How did they even find this place?' Lee Tao wondered frantically, as he slowly turned around.
His face turned ashen white when he saw a tall, burly man facing him.
Coming back to his senses, he quickly shook his head.
"Celestial Supreme?" Lee Tao said in surprise.
"No- you're not the Celestial Supreme. I have sensed his profound qi before and you may have the same appearance, but your aura and profound qi are significantly different." Lee Tao told the intruder as he observed him closely.
"Pretty smart to be able to guess that I'm not the real Celestial Supreme." The unfamiliar man said as he smiled at Lee Tao.
Lee Tao took a step back as he was cautious of the stranger in front of him.
To be able to find his secret home and to avoid the traps he had set up, Lee Tao was sure he was a dangerous person.
"Who are you and what do you want from me?" Lee Tao asked.
"Who I am doesn't matter." The burly man said with a laugh. "What matters is the fact that you have offended more than just the Celestial Supreme."
Lee Tao sweated profusely as he began to wonder about the identity of the man.
For some reason, he felt more threatened by the person in front of him than the actual Celestial Supreme.
"How could I have offended you?" Lee Tao asked. "As far as I know, I have only harnessed the profound qi from female cultivators, and you're obviously not one of them."
"You will find out after I banish you." The tall man displayed a calm expression as he raised a finger.
His movement was extremely slow but for Lee Tao, it was like he was at the point of death.
Lee Tao tried to flee from the scene with the mechanism he had hidden behind him, but he found that he was being restricted by some kind of unknown force.
'Crap.' Lee Tao cursed in his thoughts as he felt an overwhelming wave of profound qi surge through him.
Lee Tao's vision blurred as he slowly collapsed on the ground, but before he could lose his consciousness, he managed to catch a glimpse of a female entering the scene, directly approaching the burly man.
"T-Tian Meifen?"
Lee Tao managed to mumble right before he completely lost his consciousness.
"Father, why are you doing this to Lee Tao?" The girl, Tian Meifen, pouted as she tugged on the unknown man's sleeve.
"Aiyah, my lovely daughter- do you even realize the consequences of your actions?" The unknown man asked.
"If those from above the Ninth Heaven knew about your father, that I, Tian Yaoting, had his daughter's profound qi harnessed by a scoundrel like this, then the entire universe would be destroyed." Tian Yaoting said as he coaxed Tian Meifen.
"I don't care about them." Tian Meifen pouted as she tugged on his sleeve. "You are not allowed to harm Lee Tao."
"I know how you feel about him, Little Meifen." Tian Yaoting said. "Hence, I'm going to send him to reincarnate with a better start. Lee Tao, this lad has reached his limit and if you wish to be together with him then he must start over."
Tian Meifen held a complicated expression as she nodded her head dejectedly.
"If only I didn't escape from that place and come to the Ninth Heaven then Lee Tao wouldn't have suffered."
Tian Yaoting patted her shoulders as he looked up at the starry sky. "It's time for the ritual to begin."
Tian Meifen nodded her head.
She proceeded to glance at the unconscious Lee Tao for another few moments until her father snapped his finger and levitated Lee Tao to the air.
They then brought the unconscious Lee Tao outside as he plopped to the ground.
Sometime later, Tian Yaoting began drawing multiple formations around the unconscious Lee Tao.
"Step back a little bit, Little Meifen," Tian Yaoting warned as he took a step forward.
He then held a solemn expression as he flicked multiple profound qi around the formations.
The formation that surrounded Lee Tao started flashing simultaneously, as Lee Tao began to float mid-air
"Any last words for him? You won't be able to see him for a very long time." Tian Yaoting then said as he prompted.
Tian Meifen nodded her head as she stared at Lee Tao with a loving gaze.
"Lee Tao- no matter where you are… I will always be waiting for you." She said as she took off her necklace and placed it on Lee Tao's neck.
Tian Yaoting sighed and shook his head, "You silly lass, why did you give him that necklace?"
Tian Meifen gave a blissful smile at her father. "Lee Tao is a Harness Cultivator, he would be powerless if he didn't get an advantage item to assist him. The necklace shall give him assistance until he comes back to the Ninth Heaven."
Tian Yaoting didn't say anything else as he understood her feelings. "Then the Harness Cultivator shall now disappear from the Ninth Heaven until he reincarnates."
He then activated the formation, sending Lee Tao into the reincarnation cycle.
