Otherworldly-Cultivator

Chapter 10: First Quest

"Sigh, if I hadn't been abandoned in this forest by my enemies, I definitely wouldn't have met you, and my life would never have changed either." Chen Li sighed as he walked the path in the forest with Xiao Huoli, and the forest was where the four men had abandoned him to die. "Could you tell me about the cultivation level and whatnot, Sister Huoli? I've been training and cultivating during these two years and eight months, but I still don't know anything about cultivation and the like."

Xiao Huoli nodded, and then she started to explain to him. "To start with, you are still in the 8+1 mortal realm. Qi Realm, Foundation Realm, Core Realm, Soul Realm, Earth Realm, Heaven Realm, Sovereign Realm, and Nirvana Realm are the eight major mortal realms, and each major realm is divided into ten minor realms. Before you can break through to the next major realm, you must first reach the previous 10th minor realm level. And the last one is the Half-Step God Realm; even though this stage still belongs to the mortal realm, if you've reached this level, you've stepped half a foot into the God Realm."

"8+1 Mortal Realm, huh? How long does it usually take to reach the peak of the mortal realm?" Chen Li curiously asked because he felt his current cultivation was too slow. It had been almost two years and eight months since he began cultivating, but his cultivation had only reached the Peak Qi Realm.

Xiao Huoli turned to him and seriously asked. "Are you disappointed with your cultivation speed?"

"A little." Chen Li nodded at her.

"For now, your cultivation is indeed no different from that of normal cultivators, and that's because of your Chaos Body. But once you become a dual cultivator, everything will change drastically, and your cultivation speed will become extremely fast." Chen Li couldn't help but sigh upon hearing that; he also realized that his Chaos Body was like a curse, and Xiao Huoli continued. "You don't have to be disappointed; actually, you can reach the Peak Qi Realm in less than three years, which is good because the qi within the Tianyi Realm is not as thick and dense as in my original world, the Supreme Realm."

Chen Li looked at her curiously. "Oh? Can you tell me about the Supreme Realm?"

"The Supreme Realm?" Xiao Huoli chuckled at his curious expression, but suddenly her expression turned so sad. "The Supreme Realm is called the Five Divine Heavens and is divided into five provinces. In the past, my world was ruled by a wise and kind Emperor and Empress, but all that changed about a thousand years ago, and there was a great rebellion in my world then."

"Rebellion? If the rulers of your world are so wise and kind, why are they rebelling?" Chen Li asked with a raised eyebrow.

Xiao Huoli sighed softly. "Pride, Wrath, Greed, Jealousy, Envy, Sloth, and Lust are the seven negative traits of humans. And one of the Emperor's followers is greedy, jealous, envious, and thirsty for power. He cooperated with the Dark Race to seize the Emperor's power, and no one knows how long he had planned everything, but suddenly there was a big rebellion that year. When the rebellion occurred, the Emperor and his followers were helpless because they were exposed to the poison of the Dark Race."

"Sigh! Wealth and power. Both are indeed poison to humans." Chen Li said with a sigh, and then he asked again. "So Master Song died from the rebellion?"

"En." Xiao Huoli nodded sadly. "Even though we were helpless then, the Emperor and his loyal followers tried their best to fight back. In the end, our resistance was futile. Nearly half of the Emperor's loyal followers died, including Master Song and one of my sisters, and the rest of his loyal followers became their prisoners. As for the Emperor and Empress, they were both seriously injured at that time, and he took her away from our world. But according to Master Song, they should be dead by now."

Chen Li fell silent after hearing that. They continued on their way without saying anything else, but he felt pain in his heart after hearing the story, and somehow he felt that the story had something to do with him.

After some time, Xiao Huoli spoke again. "Anyway, there's one thing I want to tell you."

"Just tell me." Chen Li said as he tilted his head towards her.

Xiao Huoli thought for a moment, then said. "Master Song hopes his successor can save his daughter from that person's clutches."

Chen Li immediately stopped walking and looked at Xiao Huoli seriously. He had only just started his path of cultivation, so he felt that the responsibility was too heavy; even Song Tianyi himself could not save his daughter.

"I know this is hard on you, but you are Master Song's only hope left." Xiao Holi sighed softly. "So I hope you can fulfill Master Song's last wish, Chen Li. It's been a thousand years, and I still don't know Young Miss's current condition."

Chen Li inwardly sighed; he felt that he had no other choice. Since Song Tianyi had already saved his life and chosen him to be his sole successor. Only by saving his daughter could he pay the debt of his life to Song Tianyi. "I understand, Sister Huoli. Although I don't know when I will be able to save her, since I am Master Song's sole successor, I will try my best to save her in the future, and I hope we are not too late by then."

"En, thank you." Xiao Huoli said with a sigh of relief.

But suddenly, a notification popped up in Chen Li's mind, and he raised his eyebrows as soon as he read it.
