Mubai felt as if all of heaven and earth had suddenly disappeared into thin air. There were no materials, desire; nothing existed. His whole body seemed to have dissolved into the quiet pond in front of him, slowly turning into the gentle waves that moved back and forth..

"Heaven and Earth never cease to move, Day and Night continue to cycle. Since the beginning, there's no way to end, One thing just moves to another. Life is no beginning, nor death is the end. Heaven is not the limit, nor Hell is the final place."

On its own, this process seemed to be able to gather all emotions in life - contentment and happiness, sweetness and tranquility.. It was as if they could go on forever and no one could get tired of such a life..

From a distance, as Zhu Yi continued staring at Mubai, his mouth was so wide open that he looked just like a hippopotamus. His butt dropped to the ground quietly..

Zhu Yi plopped to the ground!

'Oh, He-Heavens above! Help me. Tell me this is not real!'

How could this be possible?! Zhu Yi pulled at his hair and he only came to his senses when he felt a sharp pain on his scalp. Oh God! I can't believe that the peak, legendary state of heaven and man becoming one had just happened in front of me..

Earlier, he did not look away when he noticed a strange occurrence right there. Moreover, he had hoped that Mubai could stay in the enlightened state for a long time since this would have been a good thing for his own cultivation..

However, he never could have expected this to escalated right after that. An even more horrifying thing had just happened in front of his very eyes. He could clearly see Mubai sitting there, but he could no longer feel Mubai's presence!

There was only one plausible reason for such a situation to occur - heaven and man becoming one, which was the ultimate state of enlightenment in cultivations! It transcended normal cultivation and only existed in the realm of legends!

But.. But how could such a rare situation happen here? Typically, absolute tranquility had to be maintained for at least hours in the enlightened state before there was a slight chance of entering heaven and man becoming one state. Rushing it would prove to be a failure! Everything had to happen naturally! If one was disturbed, everything would be for nothing. What's worse, there would be a drop in level as well as an inner demon!

As for Mubai, how.. How could he, amidst the loud bustling city and the lapping of the waves on the lake, advance into the heaven and earth becoming one state? This.. Are there any heavenly laws yet to be broken?

Zhu Yi plopped to the ground instantly! His buttocks landed hard on a rock, but he still could not regain his senses.

Mubai leisurely explored his environment after entering this peak state. At once, the 'Taint' word on his heart began to shine, his pores opened as if it was taking breaths. A layer of fog that could not be seen by the naked eye slowly formed over the lake. It hovered around and twirled around Mubai's body as if it were guided by an unknown force. Finally, it entered his body in a flash and disappeared..

Time passed by slowly Another layer of fog formed over the lake's surface..

And yet another layer..

No one knew how much time went by. Two hours, four hours..

Zhu Yi remained stunned as he sat at his original position, soaked in dew. The first ray of sunlight had just rose behind the curtain of fog, but Mubai still did not awaken.

Suddenly, Zhu Yi noticed the air around Mubai began to stir.

'I-Impossible...' Zhu Yi's eyes popped out of their socket.

Mubai's level was increasing slowly.. This was the only reason why Zhu Yi could still feel his presence..

Breakthrough!

Rank 36, Rank 37... Rank 40

The Gateway of Spirit Ancestor! All he needs to do is to find a spirit ring to absorb!

Zhu Yi's jaws immediately dropped to the ground! Surprise Motherf*****, I have met many heaven-born talents, but I have never seen such.. such a.. monster! HA! My Mubai is a Monster!

HAHAHAHAHA!

...

On the edge of a forest just beside a river, a 17 years old woman with braided platinum blonde hair looked confused, impatient, and angry.

"Stupid bear! Ugly bear! Savage Bear! See how I'll beat you! He said that if I follow the river upstream I will reach Paotai Town in no time, it's been a week and I did not even see single human, not a town, nor even a village!"

(A/N: It should be downstream, right?)

"Master Mubai didn't say that it was urgent, but still I want to finish this as soon as possible. But..." Ao Si Ya continued to grumble and letting out a sigh once in a while.

"WATCH OUT!" a scream snapped Ao Si Ya out from his imagination of strangling an ugly bear.

A colossal silhouette could be seen approached her with great speed, Ao Si Ya quickly jumped to the side and rolled miserably on the ground. When she lifted her head, she could see a huge creature fiercely baring its fang to the forest direction.

It was a huge golden colored bear with jagged back, and big curved claws that give people an impression as if it were a row of saber attached to a hand instead of claws. Seeing the creature, Ao Si Ya become as pale as a sheet, cold sweat streaming down on her back.

'Is this bear angry because I cursed many bears around the world? But I meant it to be the man that gave me false direction... Master Mubai, I'm sorry I can't fulfill the mission you've given to me.'

Not long after, a woman could be seen dashing from the forest direction toward the bear followed by several hooded peoples. She has snow white skin, slightly slender phoenix eyes, a face with somewhat stateliness. She is a rather beautiful person with a cold and indifferent face which exudes dignity.

"Surround that bear! I want this Saber-Clawed Golden Bear to be my 5th spirit ring!"
