Multi-Gene

The pillar wasn't exactly bright and from David's position, it was really a bit hard to see through all the tall trees. But David was different. His senses had been exceptionally tempered through numerous training, smelling or seeing within a kilometer radius was his limit when he was at his prime.

But due to genetic and physical restraints continuously placed in him while in here, his senses had diminished by a great amount. But seeing, smelling or hearing things within a hundred meter radius was of no problem to him.

His thoughts spun as he gazed at the pillar of light that looked seemingly far away but still visible as it pierced through the skies.

The pillar remained only for a breathe of time, but with David's fast reflexes, it was more than enough for him to roughly gauge the position the light was coming from.

The pillar of light might just be a sign to signify the birth of a legendary treasure or a very high grade miraculous herb or possibly other things, but there should be great treasures there. 

But David didn't rush to go there. Although the light wasn't too bright form afar, it would still have attracted quite the number of attention. There might even be the possibility that the hidden peak-earth realm expert would have seen the pillar of light and be attracted to it.

After a few moments of contemplation, David suddenly chuckled. What is there to contemplate about? Although he might not be able to kill peak-earth realm expert in a fair fight, they wouldn't be able to kill him either!

Even if he stood there and let them attack, it was u know if there attacks would be able to injure him or not.

Thinking up to here, David threw everything to the back of his head and activated the Floating wind technique. His body suddenly rose an inch off the ground. David felt as though his body was weightless, it was as though he had become one with the wind with his weight becoming just slightly denser than air. Kicking his foot off the ground, his body suddenly shot forwards like a bullet.

He tore through countless massive weeds and grass and with his superb control over his body and his super eyesight, he was able to avoid the trees in his way. If it weren't for the fact that Flint my be injured along the way by the thorns and grass in his way, David would have used his fastest speed since he didn't know how fast he truly was if he activated the Floating Wind at the ultimum state.

In a particularly large area of the sacred domain, there was a large gate that had suddenly popped up with a massive surge of mental energy, shooting through the skies as though wanting to tear apart the void.

During the time before the gate emerged from deep within the ground, there had been two group of roughly twenty groups in each sides, fighting and killing each other as they fought over a grade three Scarlet Morn pill.

The pill had ignited a bloody battle with each other, causing them to fight to the death. The pill was able to ignites one's hidden potential and then raising that person's talent by a whole level. If someone who had no talent in practicing mind techniques ingest the pill, practicing mind techniques wouldn't be so difficult anymore. In fact, that person's talent would surpass that of an ordinary talent in an academy.

And an already talented individual ingest the pill and digests it, then that's person's talent would also rise by a level. It could be seen why there was such a bloody battle ongoing here. 

But then, the fights had been suddenly disrupted when the large gate rose up from within the ground right in the middle of the group, with bright light shooting through the skies like a large piller. 

That was how the fight had been somehow settled. But in just a few minutes after the light had dessicated to nothing, experts started jumping out from the wood, attracted by the sudden emergence of light. 

In just an hour, there was almost two hundred people standing before the gate. 

It was then David arrived, he stood at the tiny branches if a large tree. The beach was half as thin as a baby's finger, but David stood at the tip. It was as though he was as weightless as a mosquito but what was weird was the fact that he was a thousand times the size and weight of a mosquito. 

His hands to his back as he swayed according to the flow of the tree branch. David furrowed his brows slightly as he gazed the massive amount of people already at the site. He then fixes his gaze at the large golden gate that was more than 50 meters tall and wide. 

The golden gate was closed. It seems it wasn't the appropriate time for it to open yet, or one simply needed activate a mechanism before the gates open. 

David thought for a bit and glided down from the top of the tree like a weightless leaf. He walked vigilantly past the crowds and went ahead to a more closer tree that was relatively empty. Within the crowds, he recognised some people coming from the same academy as he. 

Expressionless, he began to look through the crowds, looking for a figure that worth lots of contribution points. And in a few minutes, he had seen up to five people with relatively high contribution points if he managed to kill them, then the his contribution points would increase, then he could use them to retrieve various mental arts, treasures, pills and herbs. 

As he was think of obtaining even more precious treasures, he became happy as he scanned the crowds of disciples standing at a safe distance from each other. 

David's smile froze like a doll as his eyes landed on a particular individual. 

A malicious smile formed on David's face and his eyes gradually turned sinister as he whispered. "Vathar."

A young man with golden hair, really handsome face together with the otherworldly aura he had on him, making him, look like some sort of celestial as he rested on a tree branch. It was as though he couldn't careless about anything. 

There were other people from the same academy surrounding him, giving him praises and flattering him unceasingly. What was most astonishing was the fact that he had reached the Early-earth realm. This was a sort of a shocking news. 

While most people used their entire lives to reach breakthrough the mortal bounds and transcend into an earth ranked practitioner, Vather had done so in just a few months which showed just how talented he was. 

Even David had luckily reached the peak-mortal realm through a series of fortuitous encounter but Vather had steadily reached the Early earth realm, and judging from how calm his brain waves were, he had reached the realm for a while now. 

David's pupils seem to changed and his expression bore a strange sort of smile, one that radiated massive amount of hidden bone chilling killing intent. 

Suddenly, Cathar seem to have sensed something. He lazily shifted his head and then as though he knew, his gaze immediately met David's gaze. And from more than three hundred meters away, they eyes met one another. 

Vather immediately recognised who David was, he could also sensed the penetrating killing intent hidden behind his smile. 

He lazily glanced at David from the corner of his eyes. He wasn't the least but flustered, bit was he concerned. To him, David could have been a good asset to him, but since David refused his offer, then there was no use for an unruly asset like that to continue living. 

He proceeded to ignore David, the arrogant expression on his face becoming even denser as he took his gaze from him. 

David saw Vather's reaction clear and square. But he wasn't particularly annoyed nor was he angry. In actual fact, he was happy. If Vather had suddenly changed to a good person all if a sudden, then that would be even more troublesome. 

His smile couldn't be anymore cold. He removed his gaze from that direction and faced other direction. "Freta isn't here either, seems like she has been transported someplace relatively far. Likewise the others too." David held his chin as he thought. 

RUMBLE! 

The ground rumbled and began to shake violently. It was as though there was an enormous serpent swimming freely in the ground. 

Ka! Ka! Ka! 

The were multiple sounds of rusty metal, breaking apart from each other. 

"Look! The gate is opening!" someone who was more perspective noticed this chang and immediately shouted our loud. 

Everybody's attention was Immediately piqued and they fixed their gazed at the gate that was opening. Massive amount of dust rose up, blocking the site of quite a few numbers of people. 

But there was still a few set of people that seem to be able to see through the dust and their gaze landing directly at the opening gate and David was apart of them. Their breaths quicken as they saw the gates open. 

'Treasures, here I come!'
