THE LEGEND OF GENIUS THROUGHOUT THE REALM
The Sacred Cloud Mountains

The next day...

The bright burning sun descending warmed the entire land, the warm light was dotting the morning in the Blue Dragon Sect.

At the peak that Xie Ningxiang was on, where Xie Ningxiang was sleeping was leaning under a shady tree.

He was only alone without any presence from Tian Lei, perhaps he had secretly set out to embark on a journey in the outside world.

As the strong sunlight had pierced through Xie Ningxiang's eyelid defenses, he finally woke up.

Xie Ningxiang opened his eyes and rubbed his eyes before he stretched out both hands.

His face was so bright, it emitted a happy aura after he recalled the pleasant incident last night.

Just then Xie Ningxiang regained his senses, he looked towards his right side and left side but did not find Tian Lei's whereabouts.

Xie Ningxiang looked towards the distance in the expanse of clouds, and muttered with his voice so softly. "Sir Tian Lei..."

As his right hand moved, he accidentally touched a smooth but hard object.

Xie Ningxiang looked towards the object he touched and saw a pill bottle and a letter.

Xie Ningxiang turned his gaze away from the pill bottle and focused on looking towards a letter.

He took the letter and read it in his heart.

"Ning 'er. I'm sorry for not saying goodbye to you directly. When you read this letter, it means that I have been outside of this sect. I hope you don't hate me. Practice well there, but don't push yourself too hard. However, protecting you is my responsibility... Oh, aye. The pill bottle that is next to you contains two goddess jewel pills that can increase your cultivation by as much as two stars. Remember to use it. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine for sure. Wait for me, until the time comes, I'll pick you up and show you the real world...."

After reading the letter, Xie Ningxiang's beautiful face finally showed some sadness. Then he looked towards the sky.

"Sir Tian Lei. Ning'er will train hard so as not to burden you..."

..

Three days later.

Tian Lei who had traveled for three days finally arrived at his first destination, the Sacred Cloud mountain range.

It was one of the three largest and richest mountain ranges of aura in the entire region of ancient ruins.

There were three great mountains in the region of the ancient ruins, namely the Sacred Cloud mountain range that Tian Lei was aiming for at the moment, the Heaven Ghost mountain range, which was the current destination of Tian Lei, and the Beast Spirit Mountain range which was where Xiao Bai was doing the training.

Each mountain range had an incredible wealth of aura, but it could not be compared to the peak Holy region within the blue dragon sect.

Small roads in the middle of the forest, crickets and other insects sound adorning the sepunya forest, trees lush and decorated winds that blow slowly to cool the atmosphere.

It was one of the paths to reach the forest interior in the Sacred Cloud mountain range, usually used by disciples of every power in the ancient ruins region to enter the forest interior and practice.

Tian Lei was now walking there, he looked left and right with the Heavenly Dragon Lava sword hanging on his back. He put it on his back, so that he would benefit during this time of walking, that is, so that his physical strength could rise little by little.

The reason Tian Lei chose to make the Sacred Cloud mountain range an initial destination instead of the other two mountains, was because Tian Lei had never entered this mountain range in the past. So, there was most likely a treasure that he had never obtained in these mountains.

At a certain step, Tian Lei stopped his steps and looked towards the forest to his right. Tian Lei then decided to get out of the way and into the forest.

Tian Lei quickly dashed into the forest, and while he was still in a running state, Tian Lei felt danger from behind him.

Tian Lei stopped and turned around, he could see a fire tiger was jumping towards him.

Tian Lei smiled. "Tier 5 Fire Tiger? Pretty good, I can stretch my muscles after some time not fighting..."

Tian Lei very quickly took a proper step and dodged the attack from the Fire Tiger.

"Groars!"

Again, the Fire Tiger leaped towards Tian Lei to pounce on him.

Tian Lei folded both his hands and leaped casually to dodge the Fire Tiger's attack.

Tian Lei who was still in the air unfolded his hand and floated a powerful fist towards the head of the Fire Tiger.

Maidservant!

The Fire Tiger with its shattered head was now lying pitifully on the ground.

Tian Lei looked towards the bottom of the tiger's head, he faintly saw something glowing there.

Tian Lei with a smile grabbed the glowing thing. "Hehe, the nucleus of a level 5 Beast, this is quite valuable. Moreover, the element is fire..." Tian Lei quickly stored the Beast's core into his storage ring.

Tian Lei looked towards the bushes that were not far from his current place. He smiled before opening his mouth.

"Hey, out. Isn't it bad to hide there?..." Tian Lei said casually.

Then, two men with 5-star Mahayana level strength walked out from within the bushes.

"Oh, this brat seems to have good hearing. You and I have been hiding very well, and he easily found us..." A bald man spoke with a joyful face.

"Hahaha, right. But what can this boy do? Even if he's from the Blue Dragon sect, if we don't kill him, the Blue Dragon sect won't move..." The skinny man next to him also spoke.

"Buck! You better hand over the Beast Core earlier and all the treasures in your storage ring. Otherwise, we don't hesitate to break your legs..." The bald man threatened Tian Lei.

Tian Lei who was originally sitting in front of the destroyed head of the Fire Tiger finally stood up and gazed towards the two men.

"Heh, just a 5-star Mahayana and dare to threaten me?..." Tian Lei said with disdain.

Without a second thought, Tian Lei quickly took his initiative to take a move for the first one.

Tian Lei held the sky sword of the lava dragon with just one hand and shot towards the bald man who was threatening him.

A slash!

With a swift movement Tian Lei had slashed the bald man's head to the point of making his head detach.

While the skinny man who was beside the bald man immediately shivered in fear.

Tian Lei with a sharp gaze like that of a serial killer, looked at the skinny man with a horrifying look.

"It's your turn now..." Said Tian Lei, he stepped slowly towards the skinny man and slashed towards the skinny man.

But, just as the energy of his sword slash had been in the middle of the journey, someone strong enough came and resisted the attack.

"Young man, isn't it good to be too cruel?..." Said the man who blocked Tian Lei's footsteps.

Tian Lei looked at the man and saw that his cultivation was only at the 2-star Immortal level.

"Who are you?..." Tian Lei quickly asked.

"I am Feng Jia. Vice-chairman of Fenglong gang from huajia village. He is my man, I hope you give me mercy and let him go. Anyway, you killed one of them..." The man tried to bargain with Tian Lei.

Tian Lei thought for a moment, in his current mind it might be better for him not to make more enemies before he destroyed the blood sect and killed Mo Wei.

Tian Lei sighed. "alright. I'll forgive you guys. But, if you dare to look for trouble with me again, then don't blame me for destroying your entire Fenglong gang..." Said Tian Lei and he stepped foot to leave the place.
