Xianxia: Why am I here?

259 Contrast

Unlike Wang that does not like to show off when unnecessary, Ruruo does not care at all, but still has developed such a personality of being cautious after staying around Wang. In the same way, she realized that showing some clumsiness can come in handy. She thus has been doing this for a long time until it became part of her. In the Primitive world more so, she realized that this can help one avoid some disasters. In this way, the behavior of allowing enemies to see weaknesses also have been incorporated into her fighting style and in cases where life and death are involved.

Since the time the family came to this world, she already understood a truth, that the strong eat the weak. In that way she can only work hard to become strong, but at the same time make sure that thee foundation can allow for it. Blindly going after strength at the expense of one’s foundation is something that can be considered foolish. But she knows that this situation migh no be tha easy to handle if one is too anxious. Just like she saw that Wang really is someone that seems to be in a rush with his cultivation but from the time he entered the stage of grandmaster, he seemed to pu even more efforts in his foundation.

He obviously acted like someone that lacked time and that was indeed true as compared to others his body situation was just starting to recover, but he was sure that he could not feel any strange ilnesses existing in his body at that time yet he still worked hard to make up for it rather than chassing after lifespan.

It was not like at the time he had some family he needed to compete with for some things, especially in the era he was still in. But still even if he was in the family he was born in, it would be impossible to gain much considering his physicall situation. But she did not known that to Wang being sold off was the bigest advantage. He managed to escape the bondages of people he did not know, as he was not going to be associating himself with the family members he did knew were not his.

When one finds themselves in some situations they react differently, and Wang did not have any sort of family affections in this world, he also belived it would be unlikely that someone that has crossed over to create bonds with strangers just because he was reborn in a body with the same blood flowing through them. Having been someone from a differrent world, he has seen many things and thus when it came to this one, he did not even feel a physycological shadow.

Based on what he had already thought as reality, anyone in this situation would even have to think of ways to reduce contact with their family and the fact that his family had already sold him off, seemed to not have much impact. He did not expect much from strangers anyway.

On the way home, when Ruruo met the person from Ice Sect it seemed that a huge fight was going to take place, but after she reached some distance from them, she used her perception and found her. She just seemed to be thinking of something when she heard some shaking. It was the ground that was shaking, and one could think that an earthquake was about tp happen.

She did not smile but rather had a gloomy look as thought, “What is she trying to accomplish?”

Based on the nature of the Ice Sect anything that benefited them would be done at the cost of others, and this is also the reason that some of the forces in the universe forced them in a corner especially when their strongest existence seemed to have disapeared. But Ruruo did not care about the woman’s cultivation at the moment because she could feel; that something dangerous was coming.

.....

In the distance when the young man felt the changes in the ground as though an earthquake was approaching, he asked,”That aura from the distance seems different from the woman we just saw right? But what realm do you think she was in?”

Indeed the most facintating thing was that with the refinement of innate substance Ruruo had restrained edge as her aura did not seem to flactuate at all, and thus most of the time she had that demenour of a mortal beauty. But the people that have cultivated could instictively feel that she was very dangerous.

For some people realm does not have much impact on their strength but that is only something that can happen in a minority of geniuses who have the capability to deal with those on a higher level than them in a fight. But the situation becomes different when the realms have requirements to scale when one breakthrough, thus limiting or even completely cutting of the probablity of challening others across realms.

It is also the main reason the old man did not have much motivation to move againts others probably arose from some understanding of this. When he felt the killing intent giving him pressure he could tell that the woman was very scary. In the path of cultivation, for one to have immense killing intent, they should have shed a lo of blood. He did not mention this issue and put his focus in a further away ditance, he could feel that the aura flowing from there had some coldnes to it that it was even affecting the air around.

When the young man saw that the old man did not even respond when he tried to have him bring them close to the area, to witness the situation on the other side, he was not very pleased. In this way he tried to use all means to convince him but the old man seemed to have no plans of changing his decision. For some reason he felt threatened when he sensed the aura and had a bold guess about the owner of that cold breadth. In the same way, he assumed that the other one with strong killing intent was probably going in that direction.

In that way, he was not motivated to head in that direction at all, as he has lived for a long time by avoiding things that seem to lead to dead end, and this group of people made him feel a sense of crisis. So rather than playing house with the young man, he picked him up and soared into the opposite direction.

“I thought you were a coward, but now it seemed that I have overestimated you. Unhand me this instant!” The man was yelling but ignored as he tried to break free but in the end there was nothing he could do about it.

But the old man seemed to be unshaken by the young man’s rumblings. To him the situation at this place is more dangerous than worlds spoken by some young man. If that were the case then he probably would have already quit protecting the young man then.

After shouting for so long, and realizing it did not work, the man stopped strugling especially realizing that the changes in the situaiton would not happen.

In the end, the old man did not put him down at all, but kept geting further and further and this is when he fel the ground was trembling,it was a hiuge tremor that seemed to have spread to a large area.

The invisible force spread all around and thankfully the situation did not last loing before calming down but those with stronger realms could feel it, the situation in the world had just undergone some change.

Ruruo frowned as she felt this but still kept using her percepotion to monior her target but this invisible force instantly managed to sharter his perception.

“Rumble”

When everything was calming down she frowned as she could feel nervous and this even forced her to retreat. She could not care about everything else as a force on this scale that can stop his perception from expanding reminded her of the hidden cave. But in the end, she could already barely support it. She retreated some distance before she took a look in the direction the cold aura was disapearing, but her eyes were flickering and no one knew what he was tthinking deep down.

When the young man being carried felt the changes in this place, his face changed instantly, and did even start to urge the old man to increase his speed. This place for some reason seemed to make him unconfrotable all over.

He had some feeling that some monster was indeed trying to come out, but that was not the case at all. The pressure was too much to because the senses of everyone. To those that use their perception in everyhing it was a scary situaiton and thankfully, the situation only went on for some time before returning to norma. But when he situation normalized, a huge change seemed to have occured and even Ruruo could feel it.

But her eyes were gloomy looking around she turned and left with some unwillingness. Even at sich a close ranger she lost the woman from the Ice sect.
