Transcending the Nine Heavens

By the time Chu Yang and Mo Tian Ji left the inn, the sky had already turned dark but the moon was not out yet.

Chu Yang gazed into the darkness of the night and began to ask himself: Could it be that because of this, Mo Tian Ji would be able to get the sense of mastering the world, eventually becoming known as the Master of Calculation and Manipulation?

Within Heavenly Armament Pavilion, four young men were training voraciously. The appearance and attitude of the five today had been completely different from before. All of them were now overflowing with energy.

The past few days, they had trained to the point of addiction. Having three extreme breakthroughs every day now was something they could no longer do without. In addition, they felt that sparring with one another also helped them a lot in terms of improving their respective techniques.

Under such pressure, even though it has not even been half a month, they all felt as though they were about to break through at any moment.

Ever since then, they could not help but feel a little intoxicated: Breaking through one grade in a month and two grades in two months... If they continued to progress at such a rate, wouldn’t they be able to get to Emperor level within four to five years and perhaps even Supreme level in ten years?

As they thought about having such a promising future, they became filled with intense excitement.

Ji Mo immediately persuaded Luo Ke Di into fighting in order to learn and give Luo Ke Di a thorough beating just because he wanted to.

Then, Luo Ke Di would bring his battered face over to check on Rui Bu Tong’s progress and proceed to beat him up as he was there.

At the same time, Dong Wu Shang enthusiastically challenging Gu Du Xing and was beaten up severely. Thus, Dong Wu Shang took it out on Ji Mo and beat him up without mercy.

Within the entire group, Rui Bu Tong had the weakest cultivation and therefore did not have anyone to use as a punching bag and thus repressed his anger. That very night, while Luo Ke Di was sleeping soundly, Rui Bu Tong covered his head with a bag and beat him all over.

Since that night, the war of the five officially began.

Everyone was miserable from fighting every day. Gu Du Xing continued to advance the fastest among all of them and was the strongest in the group. Moreover, he was rarely injured while the rest were constantly covered in bruises.

The worst part was whenever Chu Yang came back, Ji Mo and the gang would politely invite him to join, "Hey, boss, I need you to help me with this. I feel like there is a flaw in this move..."

Then they would beat up the boss in the name of improving their moves.

Luo Ke Di followed suit and had matches with Chu Yang, and the results were as expected.

However, Dong Wu Shang did not dare to beat him up too hard because he needed a favor from Chu Yang. He really wanted a precious saber and Chu Yang was the best person to make it for him. Therefore he played it safe and did not dare hurt Chu Yang.

As for Rui Bu Tong... he was currently the following Gu Du Xing.

During this particular time period, Chu Yang suffered greatly from their encounters. However, after each of their fights, the sword spirit would curse and critique him to no end. It would continually point out the flaws hidden within each of their moves and methods in which he could use the break the other and how to improve each of their skills...

Chu Yang carefully noted down everything.

He looked at the evil gaze from Ji Mo and Luo Ke Di and thought to himself: Are you guys happy now? I can tell you guys are addicted to making fun of me. However, you guys will be begging me for many things in the future.

When the time comes, if I don’t torture you, I am not a Chu!

These days, Mo Qing Wu was also very joyful. Every single day, she had many big martial brothers to play and accompany her. Moreover, all of them were envious of her saber... The little miss’s vanity was satisfied with all the attention that she was getting. Thus every day, she would sit at the door with her narrow crescent eyes watching the monkey circus. Every now and then, she jumped up and cheered for them.

Also at the same time, Mo Cheng Yu’s injuries had improved significantly and had regained about fifty percent of his energy. However, his countenance gradually became tougher and tougher to look at.

Tonight, after the training was over, it was Luo Ke Di’s turn to cook dinner. Everyone immediately complained the dinner was disgusting. As a thank you for cooking dinner, they all gave Luo Ke Di a beating, free of charge.

Rui Bu Tong worked especially hard in this effort.

During the chaos, Gu Du Xing suddenly frowned and said, "Someone is coming."

Hearing him say this, the four immediately separated and cleaned up their battlegrounds. The next moment, they were all sitting leisurely around a stone table drinking tea.

The whole bunch sat happily with grace and composure; there was no evidence of a fight.

The door opened.

One person in black and one person in white appeared at the same time. Behind them was an old man.

The eyes of Gu Du Xing and company immediately widened.

After that, everyone reacted differently.

The person in black was, of course, Chu Yang. The person in white was tall and handsome with sharp sword-like brows. Each step and gesture he made was full of elegance and composure.

His eyes were calm and indifferent, and yet they were deep and clear like water in an autumn pond.

"Second brother!" Mo Qing Wu cried out happily. She flew into his arms like a swallow returning to its nest.

The other person was also excited, "Little sister! Xiao Wu... I missed you so much. Let me look at you. You’re so thin..."

Mo Tian Ji lost all of his elegance and composure the moment he saw his little sister. He laughed loudly; his face filled with happiness.

"Mo Tian Ji?" Gu Du Xing and the others blurted out in surprise. Other than Ji Mo, everyone else showed a look of anxiety.

These five were all talents of the great clans in Middle Three Heavens. They were all famous as rising stars. However, at this point, even those who were to become famous legends like Mo Tian Ji in the future were humbled by his presence.

It was because Mo Tian Ji was famous for both his brains and brawn! This was something none of them were able to achieve yet.

Luo Ke Di’s clan and Mo Tian Ji’s clan were mortal enemies. Therefore, Luo Ke Di knew Mo Tian Ji’s strength better than anyone else. It could be said that amongst the youths in the clan, Mo Tian Ji was the biggest threat; he completely surpassed his eldest brother, Mo Tian Yun.

Mo Tian Ji had not gained the title Master of Calculation and Manipulation yet. However, amongst the youths, other than the mysterious "Evil Young Master", Mo Tian Ji was the most talented.

"So much excitement!" Mo Tian Ji smiled calmly, a ray of sorrow and anger flashed from the depth of his eyes. Since the moment he held his little sister, he had checked her energy flow.

His little sister’s Three Yin Meridian was not injured but completely destroyed.

This reality angered Mo Tian Ji tremendously.

At the same time, Mo Tian Ji was startled by the presence of these people here! Why were there so many familiar faces? These are all people from famous powerful clans.

"Exciting? Mo Tian Ji, do you want to hang around and join in the excitement with us?" Luo Ke Di hugged his shoulders and asked cynically.

"No, it’s already exciting enough with Brother Gu and Brother Dong hanging out with you. Look, there is also Ji Mo, too. That’s fun enough! It is probably better if I don’t join!" Mo Tian Ji smiled and answered warmly, "Luo Ke Di, compared to you, I am already too old!"

These words left Luo Ke Di fuming.

Mo Tian Ji’s words were aimed directly at him.

He placed the two most annoying people, Gu Du Xing and Dong Wu Shang in the same group as Luo Ke Di. Ji Mo was his own cousin, and Rui Bu Tong was Gu Du Xing’s friend. However, when he made that statement, he was only targeting Luo Ke Di.

Apparently, Mo Tian Ji was saying that Luo Ke Di was not worthy enough to hang out with them. He then added "I am already too old" which was enough to rile up anyone.

"Mo Tian Ji, you really went too far!" Luo Ke Di screamed furiously.

"Young people must learn to be patient." Mo Tian Ji calmly continued, "If not, how will they have a bright future? Second young master Luo, when you get home, please send my greetings to your father and mother, I have admired them for a long time!"

"Aaah..." Luo Ke Di called out oddly and rushed forward.

Luo Ke Di’s eldest brother, Luo Ke Wu was once ambushed by Mo Tian Ji and almost lost his life. His father, the leader of the clan, Luo Cheng Tian was also played by Mo Tian Ji once and almost spat up blood. Mo Tian Ji said that partly to raise his own status but mostly just to ridicule Luo Ke Di.

How was Luo Ke Di able to take this lying down?

"Coyote!" Ji Mo was shocked and immediately held him tightly. Mo Tian Ji rarely insulted other people; he was smiling sweetly, but he was surely furious.

As his cousin, Ji Mo understood his character extremely well. If Luo Ke Di was to jump in, there would be a body on the ground within moments!

"Luo Ke Di! Do you have a brain in your head?" Chu Yang roared angrily, "There are two Mo King level masters here, and you dare to make a move against the second young master?"

Chu Yang wanted to kick this brainless guy’s butt. In the presence of two King level masters, did you think you would be able to even injure Mo Tian Ji? Mo Tian Ji is currently extremely angry. He did not have anywhere to vent his anger and as such he resorted to provoking you. If you rushed up, it would definitely create a scene...

While Chu Yang’s words were not nice to hear, they brought Luo Ke Di back to his senses. Looking at Mo Tian Ji’s calm face, he couldn’t help but shudder; this guy was truly malicious.

He angrily grunted and turned to walk away without saying another word.

"Brother Chu, I would like to have another talk with you." Mo Tian Ji calmly looked at Chu Yang.

"Sure!"

"At the inn, I invited you to drink tea. Now, I shall invite you to drink wine." Mo Tian Ji smiled.

Gu Du Xing and Dong Wu Shang looked at each other in surprise.

Tian Ji Tea and Tian Ji Wine, these were Mo Tian Ji’s original creations. Only the people he liked and valued had the honor of getting his invitation.

Mo Tian Ji had once said, "How could mere mortals drink my Tian Ji Tea?"

Mo Tian Ji just met Chu Yang for the first time, why would he value Chu Yang like this?
