Lord Shadow

Chapter 456: In a cave (1)

The last leaf of fall upon him. He did not feel the leave on his face but he could hear the rustling sound of the wind

He slowly opens his eyes and look around him and that is when he saw the last leaf of fall. He did not sigh. There is this indifference in his eyes.

A centipede crawls around his face before getting eaten by a serpent slithering near his body. The serpent looks at him for a while before hissing and went away.

He is naked. After maintaining its form for a few days in the beginning, his Lord Shadow Attire set dissipated into dust.

Azief don’t know whether it is the side effect of walking the Supremacy Stairway or because of this world energy

So, he become naked

The first year was the most arduous. He thought to himself.

For one year he tries to make sense where he is. He has his eyes and he could see with it but he could not move. He had his hearing restored but he could no longer use his Divine Sense.

For one year he lies down on that patch of stones. He was helpless and unmoving like he himself is the rock.

He took his time to get a sense where he is. He knows he is not on Earth. It took him a while but he is sure he is at the top of some mountain. The air is clear and it reminded him of the mountains

Sometimes there are mountain wolf that encounter his body.

But when they tried to bite him they could never even scratch his skin and after a few months they no longer tries to eat him

But he still doesn’t know which mountain he falls into and whether this place that he had fallen toward is a place where he could be threatened.

He fears that he falls into a world much like his own.

If he falls into a world much like his own, he only hopes that he would not be found. If not…then he needs to gather information about what kind of world this is.

If he has his Divine Sense, it would be easy for him to recognize where he is. With one sweep of his Divine Sense he could scan this entire area.

And not to mention that now, he couldn’t even sense energy. He doesn’t know if this world possesses worldly energy or not

His days is full of days of looking at the sky. And if there is one thing he got after one year of staring the sky it would be that, this world does not possess any energy that would make them extremely powerful like him

He had his own speculation of where he falls after taking that last step. He could not verify it but he thinks he is in on one of the worlds in the Three Thousand World.

And he thinks it is in one of the Mortal Realm

The Three Thousand World is separated by Three Realms. The Human Realm. The Immortal Realm. The Heavenly Realm.

The Human Realm is where a race resembling humans live as they try to break the barrier of their world and enter the Immortal realm.

Of course, in some world of the Human Realms, they didn’t even know that there is a path to immortality, living their lives blissfully unaware.

The Immortal Realm lies people who have cultivated their strength and become an existence that could move mountain and sea with a wave of their hands.

They are around Seed Formation or Disk Formation levels.

These two Realm lies outside the Source Wall.

And then there is the Heavenly Realm that lies inside the Source Wall.

The Heavenly Realm is where the Jade Emperor, his Heavenly Generals and ministers resides, possessing powers unimaginable, controlling rains, allotting fates and destiny to the two realms below them

And sitting on the Golden Throne of the Jade Palace is the Jade Emperor Yu Wang. Azief once had the opportunity to tour the Jade Empire and as such he knew a few things about the Three Thousand World.

A thousand world for each realm. And the reason why he thinks he is on the Mortal Realm is because he did not see any flying cultivator or magical beast flying on the sky

No matter how remote this place is, if this is a world where Immortals and Demons existed then they should at bleats one appearance of them striding through the sky.

Other than birds Azief saw nothing of the sorts.

Then why is it he thinks he had fallen into one of the Three Thousand World?

There is a reason why he thinks why he has fallen into one of the Three Thousand World of the Jade Empire.

The Monkey.

And that familiar energy. When he was in the Supremacy Stairway, he also uses his Divine Sense on the three thousand rips.

It felt similar to the vibration of energy he felt when he was at the Three Thousand World before.

And it is too coincidental for it to be exactly three thousand rips corresponding for the Three Thousand Worlds of the Jade Empire.

Since one of his Disk is formed from Celestial energy and Celestial energy is abundantly found on the Heavenly realms of the Three Thousand Worlds, Azief made the conclusion that he had fallen into one of those worlds.

In one year, he mostly sleeps and when he does not sleep he look at the blue skies.

Sometimes he sees birds. Sometimes it rains and water will fall upon his body. Sometimes, the heat would shine upon him making it harder for him to fall asleep.

In those moment he wanted to feel the coolness of the water or even the heat of the sun on his skin.

He wanted to feel something

But his body felt nothing. He could only see and hear. He could see the spring came and then summer. He sees the snows that falls in winter and he saw the leaves falling in fall

The spring did not move him, and the summer is a torture for him while in winter snow fills his entire body and when autumn came all look gray and lifeless.

But there he is.

Lying as time passes by him like he is some kind of a watcher that watches the Season and Time walk on by while he is remaining where he is…. doing nothing and feeling nothing

In one year, the rocks and the stones around him is now surrounded by tall grass. Grasshopper come to the grass and insects lowly came

Plants grows and birds came and perched themselves on its branch.

They sometimes peck at him only to have their beak to feel pain. The insect also tries to eat and some of them even tries to enter his ears and nose.

The moment they enter; they were burn into nothingness.

For some reason while Azief body had no heat coming out of him. Inside his body is a different case altogether.

Those little things that tries to enter his body were all turns into motes of energy after being refined by the raging heat inside Azief body

Then they no longer dares comes around him. The birds no longer peck into his skins, and the insect stay far away from him…yet life still blooms all around him
