Road to Be the God

There were ten layers of sky in Shifang Universe. Each of them was a vast world. In Shifang Universe, martial cultivation was appreciated. From the first to the tenth layer of sky, each layer was connected with Portal of Time and Space, and only those who were strong enough were able to step into the next layer of sky via Portal of Time and Space, reaching a more advanced level.

It was said that there was a shocking secret in the tenth layer of sky in Shifang Universe. As long as one entered the tenth layer of sky, he could attain Eternity Stage and live forever, becoming the powerful Shifang God.

...

Fengjian City, Beiyan Empire.

It was getting dark, and soon, the land would be enveloped in the night.

Lin Tian was carrying a dark iron sword on his shoulder. His shabby clothes were soaking wet and stained with blood and mud. There were many blood stains on his delicate face. Even so, Lin Tian couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Hahaha, I'm back, and alive! Damn God, it seems that you're not too mean to me!"

There were many pedestrians on the street. They looked in the direction of where the voice was coming from and gave a look of disdain.

"What a nut!"

"His parents are missing and his family business is a complete mess. Is he crazy?"

"Stay away from this jinx. I don't want his bad luck to rub off on me."

The pedestrians began to point at and talk about Lin Tian.

Lin Tian didn't bother speaking to these people, but went off in one direction on his own.

Lin Tian went back in time. He had used to be a human being on earth. About a dozen days ago, he had traveled back to this strange world due to an accident and his spirit had attached itself to a young master's body. This young master, Lin Tian's namesake, was not a son of an old martial family, but of the richest businessman of Fengjian City, who owned great wealth.

Lin Tian was a little embarrassed. When he retrieved the memory belonging to the original owner of this body, Lin Tian found that this young master was very stupid. Two years ago, his parents were missing. However, this young master ignored the old butler's objection, and insisted on having the Xiao Family, his fiancée Xiao Yun's family, help him run his family business. As a result, his family property was nibbled away in two years, while he himself was killed by the Xiao Family. It was at that time that Lin Tian traveled back coincidentally and revived in this young master's body.

To his frustration, after Lin Tian revived, it took him about a dozen days to finally accept this strange world and walk out of the old Lin Family's Mansion for the first time. However, when he was walking on the street, he ran into Xiao Yun and Mo Sen, who were flirting with each other. Both sides were briefly stunned before Mo Sen actually raised a hand to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian had been an ordinary person for two lives, so he was no match for Mo Sen, who was born of a martial family. He was put down by Mo Sen in an instant. Mo Sen tied him up, brought him out of town and beat him up before throwing him off the cliff. Fortunately, there was a pool at the foot of the cliff, and that was why Lin Tian managed to survive. After a long tramp, finally Lin Tian walked back home again.

"These two assholes. I'll slay you two!"

Lin Tian cursed savagely.

At this moment, it was already completely dark, and the air was a little chill.

Lin Tian's clothes were soaking wet, and he sneezed in the cold wind. As his shoulders were shaking, the purple bell at the handle of the iron sword rang. This iron sword was discovered by Lin Tian in the cave at the foot of the cliff. It was just because the wind in the cave had made the purple bell ring that Lin Tian had found his way back home down the wind.

"I wonder how Lin Xi is."

Lin Tian talked to himself.

He had a younger sister in this strange word called Lin Xi. She was a clever and sensible girl. During the dozen days, Lin Tian was dispirited for a time because he traveled to a strange world, and it was Lin Xi who had been taking good care of him all the time.

Lin Tian couldn't help showing a tender smile at the thought of Lin Xi.

Bearing the coldness and pain all over his body, Lin Tian arrived at a bleak house before long. It was the Lin Family's Mansion.

"Finally, I'm back. Lin Xi must be worrying about me since I've been out for so long."

Lin Tian chuckled.

He stretched out his hands and pushed open the gate.

Just at this moment, a terrified female voice came from the mansion, accompanied by some lascivious laughter, which made Lin Tian's countenance change.

Lin Tian kicked the gate open, guided himself by the sound and rushed to the rear of the house, only to see the two domestic servants of Mo Sen, Mazi and Liu Er, were tearing at a little girl's clothes. The little girl was crying, and more than half of her clothes were torn apart. She was half-naked, and much of her skin was exposed to the air, her face was written with fear.

"F*ck your sh*t!"

Lin Tian could only feel a surge of anger inside him, and even forgot the pain all over his body. He swung the iron sword at Liu Er, who was closer to him.

The two of them were startled at the sight of Lin Tian rushing towards them.

"Bastard, you're not dead yet!"

"How dare you come back after a narrow escape! Well, let Daddy Liu send you straight to hell!"

Fleering, Liu Er threw a punch at Lin Tian.

As the domestic servant of Mo Sen, Liu Er hadn't practiced martial arts before, but he was good at fighting, so he just thumbed his nose at Lin Tian. The moment his fist hit against the sword, a powerful flow of strength came through the sword and blew him off.

"Well, I didn't see that you bastard actually got something." Mazi stared at Lin Tian and gave a contemptuous snort, "But that's all you've got. Let me teach you a lesson before you die."

Mazi's right leg took one small step back and he adopted a pose of throwing a punch. Suddenly, Mazi's temperament changed and he seemed to have become a fierce tiger.

"Bro Mazi is already on the threshold of martial cultivation, and one punch is enough to fix a tramp like you," Liu Er gave a sly grin and said, "Bastard, enjoy your last moment of life!"

Mazi enjoyed Liu Er's compliment to him. He nodded smugly, gave a shout and flung out his palm. With that, the wind brought by the blow poured on Lin Tian. "It's a great achievement to kill you! Die!"

"You f*cking slave!"

Lin Tian was long seized with rage. Watching Lin Xi being in rags and thinking of the fact that he had been taken good care of by this little girl these days, he felt that anger was simmering inside him. Holding the sword with both hands, Lin Tian flew at Mazi with a mad face.

While Lin Tian was swinging the iron sword, the purple bell attached to the handle was swinging too, but oddly, it made no sound!

Lin Tian had no time to get into this. At this moment, the only person he could see was Mazi, who was approaching him, while the only thing he was thinking about was to cut Mazi into pieces.

"Die now!"

As Lin Tian flung his hands downward with bloodshot eyes, the iron sword plunged.

"Pfft!"

Mazi let out a cry and looked glazed. He held the pose of throwing a punch, while his arm already flew up, drawing a dazzling line of blood in the air. With that, his whole body was split into halves from the shoulder. Blood splattering about, Mazi fell full length.

With just one slash, Mazi was actually cut into two halves!

"Ah!"

Liu Er screeched. Mazi, who was already on the threshold of martial cultivation, was actually killed by Lin Tian with one slash. Liu Er turned pale at the sight of this strange yet horrible scene. He dared stay no more, and ran away, staggering.

Liu Er's screech shocked Lin Tian, waking him up all of a sudden.

"Bro... Brother..."

At this moment, there came a sobbing tone. Lin Xi, whose clothes were in disarray, looked scared.

With a start, Lin Tian wasn't in the mood to care about Liu Er, who was running away, and trotted up to Lin Xi. He pulled a piece of cloth over Lin Xi and fumbled around for a moment. Lin Tian watched the trembling and terrified little girl, his stomach in knots. "I'm sorry Xi. I'm a useless brother. I didn't keep you safe."

During the dozen days after he had traveled to this universe, it was Lin Xi who had looked after him, done laundry for him and cooked for him. Lin Tian had long treated this little girl as his biological younger sister. Now he saw the little girl suffering like this, and how could he just feel good?

Lin Xi was only eight years old now, and what those two scums had done today must have left her a huge psychological shadow. Lin Tian felt as if his heart was nearly bursting. Even if he had killed Mazi, his eyes were still burning darkly.

Shivering, Lin Xi recovered from terror after a long while. She pulled at Lin Tian's clothes and sobbed, "They said that you were dead, but I didn't believe them. You wouldn't leave me alone."

Lin Tian felt heartbroken. He kept consoling Lin Xi until she calmed down and said, "Xi, come on. Leave this place with me."

"Brother, why?"

Lin Xi sobbed.

Lin Tian forced a smile and answered, "Nothing. I'll take you to see the stars."

Naturally, Lin Tian wasn't taking Lin Xi to see the stars. Now that Mazi was killed by him, while Liu Er ran away, Lin Tian believed that Liu Er would definitely tell Mo Sen and Xiao Yun that he was still alive, so he had to take Lin Xi away to lie low for a while.

"Well, OK."

Lin Xi was such a sweet girl.

Lin Tian packed up some clothes and food in a hurry, scooped Lin Xi up and left from the back door with the pain. Before he could run far away, he heard some people burst into the mansion as expected and rummage around, as if they were looking for something. Lin Tian's heart skipped a beat, and he quickened his pace.

After running for a while, Lin Tian saw a blaze lit up the dark night.

"Brother, fire! Our home is on fire!"

Lin Xi yelled.

Lin Tian looked back and saw the mansion was in burning flames, which appeared so glaring in the darkness. Faintly, he heard a harsh voice, "If you can't find him, then burn this place! The Xiao Family has almost swallowed up the Lin Family anyway, and we don't need this house. Burn it, and let those two bastards end up on the street!"

Trembling, Lin Tian clenched his teeth, and ran away with Lin Xi in his arms without looking back.

In the darkness, the fire got bigger and produced the crackling sound.

Lin Xi started to cry anxiously and struggled in Lin Tian's arms, her little hands clawing in the air. Weeping, she was overwhelmed by grief. This mansion was the only thing left by their parents.

Lin Tian locked Lin Xi in his arms. He endured the pain and strode away.

There was a mountain out of Fengjian City called Qing Mountain. It was not until Lin Tian escaped to the mountain that he stopped.

Lin Xi was lying on his chest. Scared and then overly grieved, she had already passed out. While in a coma, her little body was still shivering, as if she was having a nightmare. Lin Tian was heartbroken at the sight of her.

Lin Tian looked up and stared at the raging flames in the darkness, his fists clenched.

They had gone too far!

The air in the mountain was humid. Lin Tian didn't dare to make a fire. He was afraid that they would be discovered by the Xiao Family and the Mo Family. He leaned against a thick trunk with Lin Xi in his arms and stared at the raging flames in the darkness afar with forbidding eyes.

Lin Tian felt pain all over, and drowsiness fell upon him at the same time. Before long, he fell asleep.

Leaning against the thick trunk, Lin Tian had a dream. In the dream, he was standing on the vast heaven. He looked out and saw nine obscure figures in front of him, among whom hung a long sword, sparkling.

Suddenly, the nine figures started to move, and reached out to the long sword in the middle at the same time.

Lin Tian widened his eyes. At this moment, the nine people were fighting against each other. Lin Tian saw the sky collapsing and the ground sinking. Meanwhile, lightning was flashing and thunder was rumbling, while rays of divine light were shooting up. The scene looked like the end of the world.

After that, the scene changed again. Lin Tian saw a long sword plunging from the sky through layers of blurry barriers and straight down towards him.

"Oh my god!"

Lin Tian gave a cry and opened his eyes abruptly, his forehead full of cold sweat.

It was still the dark night. Lin Tian was still leaning against the thick trunk behind him, while Lin Xi was still resting in his arms. Maybe she was too grieved to be woken up by his cry. Lin Tian wiped off the sweat on his forehead. The dream was too terrifying just now, and the picture of the long sword dashing towards him in the end just felt too real.

Lin Tian heaved a sigh of relief and then was suddenly startled.

The sword?

Where was the sword in his hand?

Lin Tian remembered when he was holding Lin Xi, the iron sword was grasped in his right hand all the time, but it was nowhere to be seen now!

Thinking of the dream just now, Lin Tian broke out in cold sweat. He looked around, and suddenly found that there were luminous spots in his palm.

Lin Tian raised his right hand to his eyes and his pupils dilated instantly. At this moment, there was a sword mark on his palm, and the shape of the mark was exactly the same as that of the iron sword he had found at the foot of the cliff!

"Well..."

Lin Tian's pupils contracted.

At this point of time, Lin Tian suddenly had a splitting headache. He just felt as if a huge hammer hit hard against his head, and the fierce pain almost made him scream a few times.

However, the pain didn't last long before fading away soon.

Lin Tian was wet with sweat all over. After that, he was startled again. At this moment, many mysterious and complicated things popped into his mind. Charms, divine patterns, Taoist stamps, various kinds of extraordinary and dazzling light... At last, a paragraph of obscure ancient scriptures flooded in and was clanging in his mind.

Lin Tian was shocked. What was this? Is it the exercise method of cultivation?

Lin Tian was stunned at this thought.

Lin Tian had drawn all the memories from this body. He knew that the world he was in now was an empire appreciating martial cultivation. It was the spiritual practice, as well as all young people's dream. Every year, there were countless people hoping to set foot on the road of martial cultivation. However, this practice required the exercise method, which was hard to get. It was impossible for ordinary small families to get it. In Beiyan Empire, the powerful exercise method was mostly controlled by the empire.

Take Fengjian City for example. Both in the vast city and its surrounding area, only Jiuyang Martial Institution set up by Beiyan Empire and several other martial families owned the exercise method of cultivation. However, the exercise method owned by ordinary martial families was quite common, and no match for the one owned by Jiuyang Martial Institution. Besides, those old martial families wouldn't pass on the exercise method of cultivation to those outsiders. Therefore, countless hot-blooded youngsters who were determined to practice martial cultivation would scramble to get into Jiuyang Martial Institution each year, hoping to be its disciples so that they could learn the powerful exercise method and step on the real path of martial cultivation.

Lin Tian was not the descendant of an old martial family, nor was he enrolled in Jiuyang Martial Institution, but now he might have got the exercise method, so how wouldn't he be shocked?

Taking a deep breath, Lin Tian reorganized the information popping into his mind quickly. An hour later, his eyes lit up. He had actually sorted out a whole set of exercise methods of cultivation!

It was a kind of body cultivating method called Siji Scriptures!
