BXBX NOVEL Chapter 8 - Is this reincarnation?
Chapter 8: Is this reincarnation?
\'Dude, that was anticlimactic…\' I thought.
Looking around I couldn\'t see anything. There might be some problem with my eyes…
I tried to touch my face to check on my eyes condition but it was at that time that I found out that I don\'t have hands, in fact, I didn\'t even have a body.
\'Don\'t tell me…\'
Dark place.
Doesn\'t have a body.
I Can talk to myself.
\'Am I getting reincarnated?\'
I was always shitting on these novels where MC meets a god or whatever and gets some wishes and whatnot.
Don\'t tell me I have to go through this shit.
Just burn my soul.
I wanted to cry but I had no tears. Literally, I didn\'t.
But what I dreaded the most didn\'t come.
No old man was talking to me.
This was a good development.
Just as I was thinking about useless things I felt a strong suction absorbing my soul(?).
What followed was years after years of information getting shoved into my head.
I just skimmed through these memories and got the gist of it.
You might ask what were those pieces of information?
I got information on all kinds of treasures, physiques, bloodlines, pills, and… well there is also a section for \'how to peep a lady\'.
I mean I can understand the first part of the information, these things are useful to detect treasures and more.
But why the fuck would I need to know how to peep? What is this? Can\'t you get a girl like a normal person?
The curiosity made me take a look at the information. Maybe it was mislabeled, who knows?
The result is that it wasn\'t mislabeled, these memories are from a creep.
The only use of this \'delicate art\' as described in these memories for me is to be able to prevent this kind of creep from getting close to my girls.
This dude was probably the god of peepers.
The dude in my memories even peeped on his wives so you get where I\'m coming from.
Is this me getting reincarnated as a creep? Hell no! If it was, why would I be this calm?
I found out something in these memories.
That shining thing is an artifact in the level of the seven founding artifacts that started the seven holy lands.
When the seven artifacts dropped from the sky, they were screaming like \'Yo, we are here!\'. They kept on releasing weapon Qi so everyone was able to locate them.
But this artifact is different from others. The last owner of this tool was a legendary peeper so it learned some techniques from its past owner too.
Like a peeper, it was looking for someone who it chooses as its master. When it saw me comprehending the ancient sword mark in an interesting way, this artifact chose me as its master and shot to my head.
The space that I am in right now, is my soul sea. You are not supposed to interact with your soul sea in any way in a low cultivation level like me but the artifact guided me safely to enter here to give me the knowledge about itself and heaven and earth treasures.
Thinking about this artifact I couldn\'t keep my face from turning ugly. Why? Because of its name.
This artifact is called \'Peeping Eye of Heaven\'.
Do I even need to explain more?
You might think that this is only a name and no one would know why would I care?
Well, other than my personal reason there are two real reasons for me to care about its name.
First, is that the artifacts have sapience and take pride in their name so in simple terms they don\'t give a damn if you don\'t like it, because they are what they are and their name is selected when they get Sapience for the first time. So in short I can\'t ask it to change its name…
Second, you might read some novels that tell the name of the technique before executing it. I was always asking myself why would anyone do that? What are they? 5 years old?
Well, from what I got from Li Huang\'s memories, at least in this world you have to use the name of technique like a chant for it to form a mental image for you. This mental image will be helping you in circulating the Qi in your body in the exact way that you should do for this move.
In other terms, when practicing a punching move you won\'t just punch. You have to follow a careful circulation of Qi in your Qi paths for the move to be executed. This is the reason that it will take some time to master a move.
On other hand imagining the Qi flowing in your Qi paths whenever using a technique if not impossible is not too far from it. To fix this problem in the past they come up with a solution, when using a technique you would shout its name.
This way when you master the move, you don\'t have to think of controlling your Qi paths to execute it, shouting the move\'s name makes you move your Qi in the correct pattern by instinct.
This is why I say this is like a mental image that makes you use the move better and faster.
So what I want to say is that I have to use this damn name when I\'m using this artifact.
Oh! I nearly forgot to tell you what uses does this artifact have.
Using this artifact you can find all kinds of treasures, medicinal herbs, pills, etc.
This is really an OP artifact that can be of great help to me.
But it can be said that this is a flag in itself. Why?
Because this artifact could be the loot that the MC gets from killing me.
That matters not. Because I will use this artifact to plunder the world when the MC is saving a damsel in distress.
I would be finding the best things and talents to add to my camp and be ready for whatever that wants to bar my way.
I know that banditry is the way to supremacy but didn\'t think that peeping into treasures would yield better results.
Exiting my soul sea I turned to face the elders to give them an explanation for me blacking out but I found out that only a few seconds have passed so I acted naturally.
"Elders, I think we can get going in a minute. I have comprehended the ancient sword mark successfully." I told them with a small smile.
"We are ready when you are." Elder Guo answered me politely.
It seems that me comprehending the sword mark made him give me a plus in his mind because what I see from him is genuine politeness, not the socially required one.
Just to be sure I checked the surroundings for a treasure or something.
What I saw made me baffled.
There were no treasures here but that is not the point, the way that I saw my surroundings was what caught my eyes.
How can I describe it? It\'s like I have installed \'wallhack\' in the real world. Everything that is of value can be seen highlighted even if it is obstructed by something.
Now I see why this is called the \'peeping eye of heaven\'. They don\'t know about video games otherwise they would name it something like \'invisible wallhack 1.2\'.
Just as we were about to go back to sect we sensed some people coming to our location fast.
Getting ready to fight we didn\'t have to wait long that the other group got to where we were.
The moment I saw the faces of these people I clicked my tongue.
These are people from the Blue Bulls sect.
And the one who is leading them is the chief disciple of the blue bull sect, Cai ZhenKang.
The blue bull sect is a sect that follows the way of Axe. The artifact that they are keeping is named the \'golden ax\'.
They were on bad terms with us right from the start because we saw them as some strays from the sword path and they saw us as old-fashioned fools.
When I was thinking to myself a voice pulled me away from my thoughts.
"Hoho! If it ain\'t the little brat from the heavenly sword sect." Cai ZhenKang tried to anger me by calling me a \'little brat\'.
But I got numb to this word because of uncle Aram, so there wasn\'t any sign of me getting angry to Cai ZhenKang\'s dismay.
"Welcome, friends from the \'blue balls\' sect!" I greeted them full of joy.
You could see their faces getting redder by the second.
Well, it is not my fault that their faces look like someone ran over them. Even I find them unpleasant to look at, it wouldn\'t surprise me even if they all got blue balls.
"How dare you? I dare you to say it again." One of the elders around Cai ZhenKang shouted angrily.
"What\'s with this attitude? I just welcomed you people from the blue balls sect and you shout at me? Don\'t tell me you don\'t put our heavenly sword sect in your eyes?" I reacted to his shout with an angry face like I was wronged but didn\'t forget to accidentally call them \'blue balls sect\', again. Using the sect\'s name they can not retort and have to swallow their anger somehow. Also, the fact that I didn\'t \'know\' that I was calling them wrongly, made it so that they don\'t know how to call it out.
"Good, good, good. Li Huang, I challenge you to a spar, do you dare to accept?" Cai ZhenKang asked me and didn\'t even bother to hide his hatred.
I looked at him as if he is an idiot.
"Why should I give a damn about you and your challenge. Shoo, shoo." I told him while resuming my walk to get out of there.
When treasures are waiting why would I waste my time fighting this brute? If it was a beauty challenging me that would be something else but right now I couldn\'t care less.
"Li Huang, If you run away from the challenge, would you have any face left?" Cai ZhenKang used the \'face\' and it was not very effective.
I mean there are like ten people here and half of it is our own sect\'s people so I don\'t have to think about them, The other half is from the blue bulls sect who are hostile so it doesn\'t make any difference what I do in this situation.
Rolling my eyes I turned to face Cai ZhenKang.
"If you want a challenge write a challenge letter or something to our heavenly sword sect, else don\'t waste my time."
Turning around we boarded our flying treasures and flew back.
...
Back in the gold seashores, the team from the blue bulls sect were looking at our backs with \'O\' shaped mouths. They were here to cause problems but didn\'t even dream of this kind of development.
