Light Cultivation
Eps. 1 — Days of Death
One of the remote locations of the 12 Provinces of the Eastern Continent, the Red Land was the most forbidden cursed land that people entered. In this land there are no trees growing, animals, or even humans.
Not because of the curse that made the location of the Red Land forbidden but because of the many poisonous gases. Plus there is nothing valuable in it making the place impossible to be inhabited by someone.
But that fact is disputed today, in a place that people think danger is where one of the great warriors lives.
Unfortunately, the great warrior to the Red Land did not make it a home but a place to hide from the pursuit of evil people.
The swordsman was not in good condition when he entered the Red Land, if one saw him more clearly it would find there was a heavy internal wound on his chest.
The warrior was none other than Jian Chen, the Swordsman who had been hunted by dangerous organizations for carrying mysterious objects. Jian Chen, ran to the Red Land as no place was safe from the pursuit of the organization anymore.
Jian Chen stopped on one of the large stones while holding his chest, he leaned his back on the stone with a look of eyes looking up at the sky.
‘It seems, I really can't survive this time..’.
Jian Chen smiled faintly as he felt his deep wounds being quite severe. No one could treat it here even if there was it must be difficult because the medicine that cured it must be very rare and expensive.
Jian Chen sat his position, his breathing growing heavier but his smile was etched so clearly.
‘My life also has nothing valuable, no regrets if I die here. At least I died to protect the world.”.
Jian Chen's hand reached into something under his cloak, picking up a mysterious object that had him hunted by the organization. It was a pearl in red.
Jian Chen stared at the Red Pearl before grasping it so hard that it crumbled and broke into pieces.
“For these damned things, I shouldn't be here right now.” Jian Chen scattered the remnants of the pearl onto the ground and stepped on it violently.
Had it not been for the request of someone important to Jian Chen, perhaps he would not have been willing to bring the red Pearl. But whatever the power is now all is done, the pearl will not be owned by anyone. His mission has been successful with the goal of the pearl does not fall on the bad guy.
The intense pain was again felt to the point of making Jian Chen vomit blood. Jian Chen's breathing grew weaker and his eyes began to dim.
Feeling that only a matter of time his life would be lost Jian Chen recalled his past when living first.
Jian Chen was from the Jian Clan that was under the mountain hill, his life could not be said to be good as a swordsman because he had low talent since childhood.
When he was a teenager, the Jian Clan entered Jian Chen into the academy in the Capital City far from where he lived. When he was 2 years studying at the Academy, Jian Chen did not expect that his clan would be slaughtered to the end.
Jian Chen was terrified when he heard that it had happened out of fear of being finished off by someone in the Academy, Jian Chen decided to just run away looking for a place to hide.
With his low martial level Jian Chen fled to one place for many years.
This experience of his constantly moving around was what made Jian Chen's understanding of the outside world so vast. Jian Chen realized that the strength in the martial world was the benchmark of his life going good or miserable.
If not by chance he met his teacher in the middle of the forest, he could not have survived in the martial world.
Master Jian Chen was a very mysterious person, he trained with him for 7 years until he was 25 years old. The moment when Jian Chen had already reached a high level in the martial world, his teacher suddenly disappeared just like that without a trace.
“Even until now I do not know the name of my teacher..” Jian Chen always called his teacher ‘Guru’ so he does not know his real name, besides his teacher also never told him his name.
Having felt his strength surpassing others, Jian Chen decided to return to his already slaughtered Clan, leaving behind crumbling buildings and houses that had been vacant.
Arriving at his former home, Jian Chen discovered something secret inside that there was a basement. Upon entering, Jian Chen then discovered there were two possible letters from his parents before being slaughtered, a moment when the contents were read was quite shocking.
There were two pieces of information in the letter and one of them was about the crystal necklace she was wearing, it was the necklace that her mother had given Jian Chen back in childhood.
The moment the thought flashed, Jian Chen whipped out the crystal necklace he had on his neck with all his might. In the letter mentioned that the crystal he wore had the most powerful strength.
The contents in the letter showed that the green crystal in Jian Chen's necklace was an ancient heirloom that had been lost. It is mentioned that the crystal is named ‘Krystal Penetrate Time’.
‘If you remember again, the crystal on this necklace is indeed strange.When dying I have seen this object can glow brightly.” Jian Chen had fought life and death and lost and died, and the necklace on his neck reacted like a glow.
Before he examined further, suddenly the crystal in Jian Chen's necklace emitted a bright green light. Jian Chen immediately threw his necklace as his instinct sensed that something dangerous was on the crystal.
Sure enough, something shocking happened after that, that green crystal that was originally on the ground could move on its own and float, it had also separated itself from its necklace.
“Before...How can.” Jian Chen want to say like that if there is no blood in his mouth.
Jian Chen wanted to crawl backwards seeing the crystal light getting brighter but unfortunately the crystal actually moved quickly and entered his body.
Jian Chen felt his chest but did not feel anything entering as if the crystal had entered his body like a ghost piercing through the wall.
By the time he wondered if the crystal was dangerous or not, all those questions were immediately answered a few seconds later.
Suddenly the crystal in Jian Chen's body reacted, it absorbed something that Jian Chen could not count on absorbing his life energy.
Jian Chen let out a loud scream of intense pain, the crystal also turned out to suck his cultivation down drastically. After feeling stuck at the base of Jian Chen's cultivation instantly lay helpless.
At the end of his life Jian Chen could only resign himself to his condition. From the bottom of his heart he hopes to change or know the answers to everything.
Jian Chen wanted to know who slaughtered his Clan and what the reason was, he also wanted to know the identity of his teacher, and most importantly of all, Jian Chen wanted to know who he really was .
Not a moment later, Jian Chen closed his eyes slowly and exhaled his last breath.
