Chapter 4: part of the wild dao
(Inside the dark viod )
I just woke up from a near death experience and found myself in the most dangerous part of the world " THE WILD" ,I realized that I was born with a supreme law , and not just any supreme law, the laws of death which was the most challenging law to access .
I also got to learn that the old man that saved me was my uncle who got expelled from the LI clan, because he had no mana or cultivation method he later became the strongest swordsman alive. With the will to cut through space and time laws with his blade. And from what I had learned he could also cut through other laws including death, if he were to return to the Nexora-Daorin he would be unstoppable.but for some reason he still chooses to stay here in the wild were creatures lurk waiting to strike .
I stood from afar watching my uncle train . I had gain a cultivation method I no longer wanted to return to nexora-daorin I forgot about working at a city and building a new life.
After learning that the chest master was the reason all my trainings were in vain and my life was this way and the cause of humans opening the gate to the wild,I knew what I must do. I had to master all laws and kill the chess master, destroy the fate disc of Fate if possible, I thought to myself filled with determination .
If only I was on a sword part I would have learnt a lot from uncle, I said feeling a bit regretful, well it is what it is, I said comforting myself. Uncle had just finished training, I had made up my mind to train in the wild and access as many laws as possible no only the supreme laws. But first I had to let the camp members know that I was alive and well before heading out.
"Are you ready son???".my uncle asked with concerns in his eyes, I nodded in response, he drew out his long elegant sword capable of tear the world in half the edge looked like an ancient relic that cut anyone who wasn't uncle Tankai.
He pointed the edge of the sword at the air and with a gentle stroke tore open a gate right there in front of me, I was impressed not even my father could pull that off he was really formidable, I see the wild paid thier respect to him, to bad he wasn't strong enough to to take his fate from the fate chess master but he was, but he could at least live long enough to see me do it.
I look at the rift in the air , I was about entering when I heard my uncle's voice rang i my ears "son wait" he said bringing out a crystal from his pouch "take this with you if you ever wish return to the wild smash it's a teleportation crystal" , well this would save time I the gate at Nexora-Daorin only opens once in six months, I would have to wait for who knows how long. And I still wasn't sure what time it was out Nexora-Daorin or if there both work with the same time, nah that was to absurd.
I took the spacial crystal and gave uncle a bow in which he returned.i'm Stating to judge if uncle was truly from the LI clan, I was from the LI clan and I knew how arrogant we were.
[Nexora-Daorin]
GENJIRO Hunt camp
It felt so good to be back. going back to Wild now felt like an overacting, but it sure felt good to have a super power,"captain GENJIRO!!!, Ren!!!,am alive " I screamed at the camp hope to see hopeful faces and joy and celebration and questions on how I survived the wild. But what happened next was the complete opposite of what I had expected, cap came out with a scar on his left eye and Ren wasn't happy either the camp looked at me with disgust .
Okay now am confused , aren't you "guys happy to see" I asked I confuse ,
"what did you say your name was again "Ren asked with hatered in his eyes murderous intent filled the air as someone who had the laws of death , murderous intent were as visible as the Blue sky my heart was heavy we were best friends what happened I was in shock till my dear friend told me what had happen.
After I was taken by the twelve soul beast, the hunt camp together with Ren had tracked down the soul Beast hoping to rescue me but by the time they got to me the beast was already dead and the LI silver creast on my arm we're now visible, I was no longer a member, and it didn't matter as long as the creast was there cancelled or not thier blood flowed through my veins and the shame my clan brought to many lives was never going to be cancelled.i was supposed to be killed at that moment but leaving me in the wild was enough punishment for me.Or so there thought,there were right I was no different from an ordinary humanand my chances of survival were low let's a 0.1 to a million .
After returning from the wild the camp face a more bigger problem at their doorstep was lord of the LI clan himself Li Tianlong.the camp was beaten to pulp and there dared not fight back hence leading to the scar on GENJIRO 'S face. Now I get , I wasn't Lost in the wild I was Exiled there, condemned.hearing their reason for leaving me behind, i was completely heart broken I knelt down in pain staring at the earth."fight me LI FEN ", LI fen, it felt like ages since someone last called me that name,I lifted my head and saw my bestfriend pointing his sword at me I was devastated.
"Fight me"he said, I won't raise my sword at you dear friend so if you're go to kill me...
I woke up In a dark void,in front of me was a gray glowing orb.did I die?wow Ren had killed me, I now had twelve souls remaining, and each one now represented a dao for a shupreme law ,as a human I needed more souls to to gain more assess to supreme laws ,else I I'll destroy myself ,so each soul represents a supreme dao, or I could just get super abilities but that wouldn't be enough to defeat the chess master .
In the dark void was also a system like chart about my cultivation
Cultivation method: Wild Dao
Souls remaining: 12
Supreme Laws Accessed: Death
Ordinary Laws Accessed: none
Title : death's habinger.
Gear: schyte (cuts through the lines connection the soul to body)
Abilities:1/7 (soul farmer)
I stared at the glowing chart. The words floated like etchings on water, rippling as though they knew I was staring back.
"Wild Dao…" I whispered, my voice echoing endlessly in the void.
A second panel appeared beneath it:
> Recommendation: master the laws of death, and ascend to third wild realm and your chart will be automatically updated.
The thought of controlling death sent a shiver down my spine. It was no big deal right I asked myself?.
But then came a voice.
It wasn't the cold mechanical tone of the system — this was something else, something not alive but not dead either.
"You seek to master them all… yet you carry the scent of death like a crown."
I turned. From the darkness, a cloaked figure emerged, its face hidden beneath a hood woven from threads of starlight. In its hand was a staff tipped with a black crystal that pulsed faintly, like a heartbeat.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"A soul farmer," it replied, tilting its head as if studying my very being. "I tend to the fields of power within the void. You are… an unusual crop does that mean I wasn't the only one that had been here?,oh of course I wasn't the only one on the part to master the laws of death uncle said there were three more."
Its presence made my twelve souls tremble inside me, like frightened birds.
"Why am I here?" I asked.
"To choose. The void grants no second chances. You may plant your souls into laws and reap their harvest… or hoard them until the day you face something that demands everything you have."
The chart expanded again, and I saw branches like a tree — each branch representing a path:
Path of the Blade: Amplifies combat power; synergy with uncle's sword techniques, this was breath taking.
Path of the Nexora : this was the part the beings of earth walked (F,E,D,C,B,A,S)
Path of the Wild Dao: Control over Space, Time, and Fate along with the twelve supreme laws, at the cost of soul stability.
Path of Dominion: Command over beasts, armies, and realms.
I reached toward the Path of the Wild Dao, but the soul farmer's staff blocked my hand.
"Be warned," the cloaked figure said, "the Chess Master walks this path. It will cost you more than you think."
I clenched my fists. "Then I'll walk it faster than him."
"You don't know what you are doing kid, but is to late to turn around now "he said sounding grim,my heart skipped a beat, I was literally walking against fate.
