Chapter 92
I stepped back.
“What do you want to know?” I asked after calming myself. Until now, the only thing that he did was help me out, and I felt that I could put some trust in him now.
“How did you find this mythical beast? That is something that I wish to know. Where did you come across an actual egg of a mythical beast? And how did a weak person like you get to it?” Li Tian asked.
“That hurt.” I chuckled.
“I got it in the Shianxi Auction House. There was a mysterious rock that was just sitting there, and I had enough money to gamble. It turned out that my gamble worked.” I said.
“A gamble huh? Well, I guess that it worked indeed. Alright. I know that he is listening to me right now. Since you have entered a contract with Liu Feng, I know for a fact that you are going to be the one person that he can trust. So I am just going to tell you that you should lay off taking his Qi for the next few days. He cannot afford to let this resting period go to waste. Or else, I will have to do this entire process again. And a body can only take it so many times.” Li Tian said.
I felt a sharp pain come from my head at this point.
“I understand. It is a good thing that you are in agreement with me. Well, I have a sect to run, so I will count on you to keep this boy in check.” Li Tian smiled as his figure flickered.
“You spoke with him? Looks like that is what that headache was. But why did my head pain when you were talking to him?” I asked Liu Man.
“I was using your spiritual energy without your permission. Obviously you would feel some pain.” Liu Man said.
“How can you say that so calmly? And what the hell is spiritual energy? Is that what my spirit sea is for? How do I use this energy?” I asked.
“You are running before you learned how to walk. That is something that will only become relevant to you in the Nascent Soul Realm. Until then, you should focus on increasing your realm, and your strength.” Liu Man said.
“You don’t have to keep reminding me how weak I am. What can I do about it now of all times, when I am practically crippled. I cannot leave here. I don’t even know where I am. I cannot do anything at all here.” I shook my head.
Taking a wall as a back rest, I took out a book from my spatial ring. I had enough stuff in my spatial ring to entertain me a little. It was at least better than nothing. And, I already knew that I had to get to know more about the continent that I was in.

Three days later,
“I can’t belive it! He said three days, and he actually left me alone in this godforsaken place for three days all on my own!” I was at my wits ends. I went through the books that I had, and had nothing else to do.
The time that I was stuck in the cave, I at least had to cultivate. But now, I couldn’t even do that. I was in a prison, for all intents and purposes.
“At the least, I was able to understand what is going on around me.” I sighed, trying to please myself.
What my master said got me thinking. The royal family of the kingdom was going to select a new king. How did that have anything to do with me. So, I tried to do my best and learn more about the kingdom. And this was how I learnt exactly how big the Sky Heaven’s sect was.
The kingdom that I was currently in, the Duan Kingdom, had few big players. The most powerful entities were obviously the royal family, the crown, three families under, and seven sects. The three families and the seven sects were technically subordinate under the royal family.
Surprisingly, the Cai family was one of the three families under. Cai Lien was from a branch family, but at the very least, she had a big background. I could not mess with the Cai family that much.
The seven sects were what interested me the most. The ranking was pretty clear. The Sky Heaven’s sect was undisputed second, second only to the Tiandu Sect, another branch of the Imperial family. It was like the family was trying its best to hold its power over the kingdom.
“Like naming the kingdom after their surname isn’t enough. But this sect is second? Exactly how powerful is the Tiandu sect?” I wondered.
Another thing that I found out over the last three days was exactly who Li Tian was. I had almost every book that I needed, but it slipped my mind. Now, with all this time, I realized that I could read through them. And I found out who Li Tian was.
‘The genius of the Sky Heaven’s sect, responsible for the meterioric rise from the bottom of the seven sects, almost at the tip of being taken out of the rankings, to the second position.’ the book read out.
“He is a true legend! To think that I lucked out this much! He is one of the most powerful people in the entire kingdom! For him to head one of the biggest powers, as well as bring it to such heights, he must be a monster.” I thought to myself.
I put the book aside. I had enough of this. I could not read the same thing again and again. It had been three days since then, and I felt nothing wrong with my body. There was no discomfort at all. Everything felt completely natural.
“Where the hell is my master?!” I shouted with frustration.
