Number One Under Heaven

Chapter 2: Song Shu

One hundred thousand miles away to the south of the largest city 'Xian Chengshi' in the Immortal Realm is a mountain range, named 'Southern Domain', with green mountains all around and Magic Beasts with powers compared to a Human cultivator with a Cultivation at the Immortal Realm everywhere.

The weakest is compared to a Bronze Immortal and the strongest ones dwelling in the center of the Southern Domain have powers stronger than a middle ranked Sects Sect Masters, a Golden Immortal.

Just as the sun peeks out from behind a mountain, strong Spirit Power gathered in the center of the Southern Domain and alarmed every single Magic Beast in its surrounding.

Treasure is being born! A shadow of a tiger with wings as tall as 50 meters flashed and disappeared.

Such a strong Spirit Power gathering, what kind of treasure could it be? With this much Spirit Power, it must be at least a High-Grade Immortal Treasure! I must have it! A snake was coiling around a whole mountain drills underground and disappears.

This is my chance. I must not let the other two old bastards get it first, or I will be doomed! The earth suddenly shook when an enormous mountain was uprooted into the air. But the jaw-dropping part was that this mountain was only just a shell of this colossal turtle underneath it.

* * * *

Center of the Southern Domain where the Spirit Power is gathering, the air cracks and a portal appears.

A young boy walks out and looks at his surrounding with curiosity.

If not for that old mans sense being so good, I wouldve forcefully opened the gate to the Mortals Realm.

Oh well, no choice. Since I am already here, lets take a look around before finding the Realm Gate.

This young boy is precisely Tian Yi, son of the Celestial Emperor.

If it did not cause a problem to go straight from the Celestial Gods Realm to the Mortals Realm, he wouldve done it. But because of the differences in the Realms, a colossal amount of Spirit Power would be needed to make the Gate, and it might suck out half of the Spirit Power in the Mortals Realm just to make the Gate appear. And if that happens, they will definitely connect that to him.

Now which way to go.

*BANG*

Before he could even think, a 50 meter tall Tiger with wings behind his back lands 10 miles away from him.

A Six Winged Heavenly White Tiger? Tian Yi mumbles to himself.

The Six Winged Heavenly White Tigers are from the Heavenly Winged White Tiger race. Their bloodline inherited from the White Striped God Tiger race, known as the strongest among all the tiger race.

Even in the Celestial Realm, they are amongst the Top 10 strongest Heavenly Beasts that controlled many territories.

Human, how did you get here and where did you hide the treasure? It spoke in human language.

The Six Winged Heavenly White Tiger was surprised to see a young boy in the center of the Southern Domain where Immortal Beasts roam.

He had neat long black hair down to his back, with a face no older than 18 and had an average face, sharp eyebrows and a pair of black eyes staring right at him.

Hes not even scared when Im staring at him?

What was most surprising was that this little human was looking at him with such a calm face.

Who is he? He is one of the rulers in the Southern Domain, even the Golden Immortals he fought had fearful eyes looking at him.

Who was this kid? He was positive that this kid is a Mortal because he cant sense even a thread of Spirit Power in him.

How did he get here? He was also sure that there are no other humans within the range of ten thousand miles around here.

But most importantly is the Spirit Power that was gathering here sudden disappears. Did this little human take the treasure?

While the Six-Winged Heavenly White Tiger was thinking, Tian Yi was confused. Treasure? What treasure? He just got here! Where did he get the time to look for treasures?

Hey, little tiger. What treasure are you talking about? I think there is a misunderstanding and I do not have the treasure that you are speaking of. He speaks with a confused face.

L-l-l-little T-tiger? I DARE YOU TO REPEAT THAT!

The Six Winged Heavenly White Tiger was dumbfounded at first, doubting if he heard correctly. But how could he possibly have hearing problems? His body starts shaking from anger, and Spirit Power starts pouring out of his body to pressure the young man in front of him.

A mortal kid just smacked his face, the strongest among the three lords of the Southern Domain!

Whats wrong with calling you a little tiger? Not even mentioning the Ten Winged Heavenly White Tiger being in the early adulthood, you are just a Six Winged Heavenly White Tiger, barely past your childhood and youre complaining?

Tian Yi was still looking as comfortable as before and looked at him like he was looking at an idiot.

Little did the Six-Winged Heavenly White Tiger know that he was talking to the son of the Celestial Emperor, who has seen even Twelve Winged Heavenly White Tigers and to him, he is just a little tiger barely past his childhood.

Eh?

As if lightning had struck him, his pressure instantly disappears like smoke, and his mouth opens wide, showing his shiny sharp tooth and pink tongue.

He did not even notice that he was being treated like an idiot and could only stare dumbfoundedly.

Ten Winged Heavenly White Tiger? He had always thought that the Eight Winged Heavenly White Tiger was the limit of the Heavenly Winged Tiger race and that he was just one Realm below it.

But what did this kid just say? Ten Winged Heavenly White Tiger? Early adulthood? There is an even higher Realm than the Ten Winged Heavenly White Tiger?

Impossible!

W-w-what did you j-just say? T-ten Winged Heavenly White Tiger? He could only ask dumbfoundedly.

Thats impossible! The highest our Heavenly Winged Tiger race can reach are the Eight Winged Heavenly White Tiger, what bullshit are you talking about! He still denies it.

Would you believe it if some random stranger told you that the mother you have always known was not your actual mother?

Are you really an idiot? How do you not know about your own race? The highest your race can evolve to is the 'Transparent Winged White Tiger God', where after your twelve wings combine and forms into a single pair of transparent wings. This is common sense, are you sure youre from the Heavenly Winged Tigers race and not the weaker Winged Tigers race? Tian Yi said.

The Six Winged Heavenly White Tiger couldnt believe what he was hearing.

Is this real? He couldnt help but question mindlessly, W-who are you?

Me? I am..

*BANG*

But he was interrupted by two big figures suddenly appearing 5 miles to the left and right of the Six-Winged Heavenly White Tiger.

A Human? Lao Bai, what is a mortal doing here and what happened to the Spirit Power gathering here? The snake questions this so called Lao Bai, who is precisely the Six-Winged Heavenly White Tiger.

A Mountain Blood Viper and a World Titan Turtle? Tian Yi looks at the newcomers.

A Mountain Blood Viper, a dark red body with the length of 6 miles, two sharp fangs dripping down a green gooey substance that melts whatever it touches. A pair of yellow eyes that can scare the shit out of anyone it makes eye contact with.

The other newcomer was a World Titan Turtle, known for their unbreakable defense. There are even legends out there of World Titan Turtles carrying a whole world on their back. Even though this one is quite tiny compared to the ones in the legend, when it grows up and transcends, its size will expand by millions of times.

Lao Bai looked at the two and said in a serious voice, Both of you leave here right now, I have to talk to this human alone. He wanted to ask this mysterious human some more about his race.

But he will lose face if he did it in front of the other two rulers of Southern Domain.

Lao Bai, could it be that you are not satisfied with the three of us ruling over the Southern Domain and want to keep the treasure to yourself to slay us two old bones? The turtle questions in a deep voice, with a bit of pressure in it.

He currently has the weakest cultivation out of the three being a Bronze Immortal.

If not for his godlike defense that can ignore the other two attacks, he wouldve been killed long ago, let alone being one of the three rulers.

Now that he was late to the treasure and the other party is hiding it; if he doesnt say anything, wont he be a turtle in warm water being boiled?

Lao Bais face changed and said in a strong voice, Me? Hiding the treasure? What treasure are you talking about? The Spirit Power had already disappeared before I even got here. When I arrived, this human was already here. And do I, Lao Bai even need a treasure to deal with you?!

Hah, if you dont need a treasure to deal with us, why are we still alive? Dont tell me you are actually a lonely one and wanted to share territories with us. Scoffed the Mountain Blood Viper.

Lao Bais face starts to turn red from anger, but he forcefully pushed it down and said, I dont care what you say, there is no treasure here, and I will be taking this human with me!

Compared to the treasure, this human with information about his races evolution is even more important.

*Whoosh*

A gust of wind appears at where Lao Bai was just standing, and within the next second, he is right in front of Tian Yi.

His Spirit Power wraps around both of them and prepares to take off.

HOLD! A loud hiss could be heard from behind, and at the next moment, it was right in front of him.

The Mountain Blood Viper blocked his way and said, You may have more power than me, but do you think you can really escape from me?

Hmph, dont even think about leaving before showing us the treasure. The World Titan Turtle who just arrived behind Lao Bai said.

Lao Bais face turns solemn and right when he take a fighting stance; he feels the Spirit Power that he had activated, was wiped out without a trace. My mother, who is it?! He almost faints from fright.

His cultivation is at the Peak of Golden Immortal Realm, half-step into Ancient Immortal Realm, yet his Spirit Power was wiped clean without a trace left. What kind of monster can do this?

Not just Lao Bai, but the other two Magic Beasts also had their Spirit Power wiped clean.

All three of them looked around frantically with a fearful expression, but couldnt find found anyone around them with their Divine Sense.

Impossible! I cant sense him?! Is his cultivation so high that even we cant sense it?! The three of them thought of the only conclusion and instinctively take a step back.

*Boom*

All of sudden, a gruesome pressure comes down on them and smacks their big bodies on the floor, barely able to move properly.

The World Titan Turtle, feeling the worst out of the three because of his weight, begging to the air, S-senior, p-please forgive this lowly turtle!

After what felt like an eternity, a calm voice resounds in the Mountain Blood Viper and the World Titan Turtles mind, Leave.

The pressure disappears into thin air.

Not even a second later, both the Mountain Blood Viper and the World Titan Turtle runs off into different directions, leaving a trail of sparkling water flying in the air.

All they had in their mind was to get the hell out of that place in the fastest speed possible.

Even the World Titan Turtle turns into a World Titan Rabbit at this moment.

* * * *

Meanwhile, Lao Bai was still frozen stiff in the same spot, curled up with his paws hiding his head, like a scared dog.

Tian Yi looks at this pitiful dog in front of him speechless.

It was just a little pressure, did they have to be that scared? All I wanted to do was to calm them down, not slay them. Tian Yi felt wronged.

But he did not know that the tiny bit of his Spirit Pressure was enough to scare Immortals lifeless.

After looking at the pitiful Lao Bai for a while, he speaks up, Hey, little tiger.

. Silence.

Lao Bai was still shivering in fear, not noticing the pressure had already disappeared.

. Tian Yi walks in front of Lao Bai and kicks him, Hey! Get up and stop looking so pitiful!

Lao Bais body jerks and jumps up shouting, Please! Senior, please! Dont kill me! I am willing to do whatever you want to this old bone! I will be your mount, and I will even be your grandchildrens saddle horse! This old bone is not worth wasting your energy on; please spare this little one!

Tian Yi was dumbfounded for a moment but frowned right after. Senior? Grandchildrens? What the fuck! I am only an 18 Years Old handsome young man, who the hell is he calling a senior. Do I look that old? Eh!? And grandchildrens? Although I hate to admit it, I am still pure as jade, so where the hell did I get grandchildrens from?! He curses in his mind.

Oi! Idiot Tiger, wake up! Who are you calling old, huh?! I am only 18 years old! Fuck you! Youre old! You are so old that your bones have already turned rusty from aging! Tian Yi hates being called old.

He has always been mistaken as a senior with a young body because of his overwhelming Spirit Power. Although it was not said directly, even a tiny bit of indication would turn him mad.

And since Senior are usually addressed to older people, Tian Yi thought that Lao Bai had called him old.

Eh? Lao Bai finally becomes clear-minded after being cursed at by Tian Yi.

Why are you cursing me? Since when did I call you old? I was addressing that Lao Bai was confused.

But after thinking about it for a moment, his eyes snaps open and his mouth wide open, screaming in a girly voice, Ahhh! Its you! You are the one who just used Spirit Pressure on us! Who are you! What do you want?!

Y-you. No, Young Master, may I ask who you are? Now knowing why he couldnt sense this humans Spirit Power, he became polite and didnt dare to address him with You anymore.

What cultivation does he have to leave me in the dark? Lao Bai is still curious.

Like I was going to say, I am called. uh, Song Shu! Tian Yi made up a fake name.

He felt that it was not safe to say his real name yet in the Immortal Realm, Even though I hate using fake names since it makes me feel fake as a person. But just to be safe, I have no choice! I will use my real name in the Mortals Realm. He thought.

Lao Bai made a weird face after hearing that pause, thinking to himself, Thats definitely a fake name Why does he have to use a fake name? Oh well, that doesnt concern me.

So its Young Master Shu! As you may know, this little one is called Lao Bai, part of the Heavenly Winged Tiger race, with a cultivation at the Peak Golden Immortal Realm. Lao Bai introduces himself with a smile.

Good! Lao Bai, I am looking for the Realm Gate, where may that be?

The Realm Gate? It should be in the largest city in Immortal Realm, Xian Chengshi. Its Ten Million miles to the north from here. Lao Bai points at the direction with his big paws.

Xian Chengshi? Good! Take me there! Said Tian Yi.

Lao Bais face turns pale upon hearing that, Eh? You want me to go with you? Thats not good. I might be the strongest in the Southern Domain, but I am currently being restricted in the center of the Southern Domain by these old bastards at the Ancient Immortal Realm. If I go out, they will chase and cut me!

Because the old experts didnt want a Six Winged Heavenly White Tiger to go rampage around the holy Xian Chengshi, also unwilling to sacrifice experts to kill him, they threatened to cut him if he steps even half a step outside of the center part of the Southern Domain.

Hmmm, is that so? Here, eat this. Tian Yi threw a little bottle to Lao Bai and explained, This is an Appearance Changing Pill. Except it has only been enhanced nine times, so it should be enough to turn you into a little white tiger. And about your cultivation, Ill seal it for now.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeh? Lao Bai was shocked to his core again.

An enhanced pill is a pill that has been enhanced by a Pill Master, and the pills effect will be stronger than normal.

But what shocked Lao Bai was not the pill itself, but the fact that this pill has been enhanced nine times.

What did nine times mean? The more enhancement it has, the harder it will be to refine again.

To his knowledge, a pill can only be enhanced nine times and can only be done by a Pill Emperor, the highest rank a Pill Master can achieve.

However, an almighty Pill Emperor actually wasted his time and effort to enhance this low ranked Appearance Changing Pill nine times?

What a waste! What a goddamn waste! And he also said only been enhanced nine times? My father! You can enhance it more than nine times? Lao Bai cries in his heart.

Hurry up and eat it so we can go. Tian Yi urges him.

But. He still hesitated.

Didnt you just say that you will do whatever I wanted you to? Tian Yi questions in a low voice, narrowing his eyes.

Aaaaahh! I will go! I will go! His soul almost flew out, and he swallows the pill.

He instantly turns into a cute little white cub.

He didnt want to experience that kind of hell again and would rather die from the old bastards than to anger this young man.

Good, now about your cultivation

Tian Yi points at him with his index and middle finger.

A golden light glows on the tip of his fingers and disappears a second later.

His whole body starts to shiver, and a moment later, he was astonished to find out that his whole cultivation has been sealed.

What a monster! I would rather skin myself than to anger him! He makes a promise to himself, making sure that he will never make this young man angry!

Okay, lets go!

Tian Yi held onto the dog sized Lao Bai and took a step forward, disappearing into the direction of Xian Chengshi.
