"Singularity of existence."
Wu zian looked perplexed and remained silent.
"You humans call me Ring of Death. I am the nature of death."
"Ring of death? What does it mean, I have never heard of it?"
"It's natural growing up in that meager village; you have no idea about spiritual energy.""
Wu zian frowned; the more he talked to the ring, the more he got confused.
"Don't be confused, human. The difference between that village and vast world is like heaven and earth. The village you lived on is just a weel, and the villagers are frogs, not knowing how big the actual world."
Wu Zian eyes widened as the voice spoke.
"You want to find your sister, do you?"
Wu zian restlessly asked with a desperate tone, "You know where my sister is?"
"Human, you just need to do one thing in order to find her"
Hw quickly replied without a single thought, "I am willing to do anything."
A deep voice came from the ring."Cultivation."
"Cultivate and reach the top of this world, and if you cultivate properly, then even reviving your dead parents is possible."
Wu zian had never heard of cultivation, nor did he have any idea. Before he could ask the ring about it, his vision blurred, his body trembled, and he fell backwards.
After some time, Wu Zian opened his eyes to the sound of chirping birds.
He coughed and stood up, finding himself inside the cavity with the sun at its peak.
"Dream, no, it can't be. That was too real to be a dream?" Wu zian murmured in a quiet voice."Singularity of existence... Death...frog." The next word revealed a glow in his eyes."Cultivation."
Wu zian searched for the ring in every corner but couldn't find it. out of choice, he walked outside, standing above a branch, gazed at the forest."Firstly, I have to leave this forest. I have already wasted enough time."
He jumped from the tree and continued walking.
After some time walking, he heard a familiar sound. Concentrating on it, he walked toward the source and found a river.
Wu zian rushed towards it, kneeled on the ground and started to drink.
After a long time, he had drunk water, feeling the coldness running through his neck. he enjoyed every sip.
Sat on the ground with satisfaction, but it didn't last long before his vision a pack of wolves revealed.
The pack of wolves looked hungry, saliva fell on the ground while they looked at Wu zian.
No matter how much Wu zian struggled at the end, he was still a 15-year-old kid, mistakes were bound to happen. He unknowingly fell into the trap of hungry wolves.
Wu zian's heart sank, he glanced around "Damn it, I became too much reckless."
He constantly stared at them while they approached him.
Wu zian scratched his hair and laughed."It's better than being eaten by these wolves."
Wu zian stretched his body, looking at those wolves and jumped into the river. By the force of the flowing water, he was immediately washed to the shore far away. His consciousness gradually returned, calm and steady. He could see a wooden roof and felt very soft under his back.
He sat up from his lying position and found stitches in his body."Where am I?" he pondered.
"You are in my chariot." A very soft sound came from the side.
Wu zian looked aside and saw a young girl sitting elegantly wearing white clothes, dark black hair long enough to reach her waist and purple eyes hidden behind those hair.
Wu zian looked at himself and thought, "Who is she? Wait, my shirt." his eyes widened as he crouched, hiding his body.
"Don't worry, you were unconscious at the riverside with worn clothes, and were rescued by my uncle and about those stitches he sensed many impurities and cleared them by cutting your veins."
Wu zian sighed and asked, "Impurities, what kind of impurity?"
The young girl smiled with a confident voice; she replied, "Impurities that could have killed you in days."
Wu zian's face darkened as he remembered about drinking the wolf's blood.
"You have eaten or drunk something wrong, isn't it? Your blood was thick black."
She asked kindly, seeking a proper answer.
Wu zian thought for a while, lowering his shoulders he said."I was so thirsty that I drank a little bit of wolf's blood."
The young girl gave a troubled look "How foolish of you, drinking blood, unbelievable."
Wu zian didn't reply but smiled at her and looked outside.
The jungle that before seemed so hard to cross right now was becoming just moving trees, being crossed one after another.
He saw two more chariots being pulled by horses.
Wu zian looked at the girl and asked, "Where are you people heading?"
"Linjiang City," she replied.
Wu zian's eyes narrowed in thought; curiously, he asked about the city.
The young girl gently replied," It's a sect more than a city, known broadly as Blue sea sect."
Wu zian didn't had a single knowledge about the places other than his village. he asked."What is a sect?"
The young girl gave a shocked expression."You don't know what a sect is?"
Wu zian saw her shocked expression, and he bitterly smiled.
Since Wu zian didn't reply, the young girl continued."Sect is where people gather and cultivate, dedicating themselves towards the morals of seniors of cultivation world and learning from them."
Wu zian's eyes widened and he thought to himself,"This is exactly what the ring told me." He gazed at the girl and asked, "Can I also learn from those seiotrs?"
Seeing the excitement in Wu zian, the girl decided not to ruin it."You can learn, but firstly, you need to be a disciple of the sect, and for that, a clan or family suggestion is needed."
Wu zian didn't had a family or clan, He sighed and asked if there was any other way to become a disciple.
She calmed Wu zian and said"Yes, there is, you just need to take the mortal test, but remember, it is too hard to pass."
Wu zian's eyes lit up, and a slight smile appeared on his face. "Does it cost life to pass the test?"
"No, but it is really hard. I have never heard of anyone passing that test."
Wu zian laughed with joy."If I am not losing my life, then I will definitely be a disciple of the Blue sea sect."
The young girl didn't demotivate Wu zian and offered him a warm smile.
