Chapter 4 Crossed Over

  In the vast universe, Luo Tianxing has existed as one of its members for tens of billions of years.

  The Luotian continent, as the only continent of the Luotian star, has an area that is unmatched, with a total area equivalent to tens of thousands of Earths. The Luotian continent can now be said to be in a state of "a hundred schools of thought contending", with countless countries on the continent, among which the five great empires are the most prominent, and the rest of the kingdoms are their vassals.

  To the north lies the Beast Forest, to the south lies the Abyss of Death, and in the west lies the Sunset Desert, which occupies one-tenth of the entire continent. These three places are called the Land of Death by the people of Luo Tian Continent, meaning that anyone who enters will surely die.

  Among them, the Beast Forest is a bit better. At least in the border areas, only some low-level beasts live there. As long as you don't go deeper, an ordinary adventure team can still survive there.

  However, the Death Abyss is different. It's said that a billion years ago, during the Great War between gods and demons, the defeated remnants of the demon tribe were abandoned in the Death Abyss by their own kind. Furthermore, over the past few hundred million years, the demon tribe has continued to develop, and the number of countries on the mainland that have been destroyed by them is countless. Now, no one dares to enter the Death Abyss.

  The setting sun desert is different from the two places mentioned above. It has no terrifying demons, nor bloodthirsty magical beasts. However, few people go there. The setting sun desert is said to have countless treasures buried within it, and numerous countries that were once hidden in the sands of time are now covered by the desert. But those sand grains seem to have mutated, becoming extremely bloodthirsty, swallowing anyone who approaches. No matter how strong one's martial power is, they cannot withstand the endless sandstorms. As a result, no one goes there anymore.

  ......

  The East, as the most suitable place for human survival on the entire continent, all countries and sects were established in the East, occupying eight-tenths of the area of the entire continent.

  The eastern part of the Luo Tian Continent was almost divided among the five major empires, with only a few small areas being occupied by those sects.

  ......

  Xiang Tian Empire, Piao Yu Castle.

  As one of the 100 secondary cities of the Xiang Tian Empire, its city is vast, occupying an area of nearly 100,000 square kilometers, far beyond what those small cities can compare to.

  The Feather Castle has four major families, and above them is the City Lord's Mansion. As an official force, it is far beyond what these four local forces can match, with the backing of the entire empire. The City Lord's Mansion has become the largest force in Feather Castle. Of course, in terms of depth, the four major families are not inferior to the City Lord's Mansion. However, if they still want to survive in the Xiangtian Empire, they cannot afford to offend these official forces, otherwise, what awaits them will be destruction.

  Yi Jia, one of the four major families in Feather Castle, is not much different from the others. Each family has a master at the level of Dou Wang, but each family has its own unique characteristics.

  The head of the Mu family was already a three-star Dou Wang ten years ago, while the heads of the Yi, Chen and Lu families were still only two-star Dou Wangs.

  ......

  On this day, in the quiet lotus courtyard on the west side of the Yi family home, a young man wearing a long gown with his hair tied back in a casual knot was staring blankly at the sky.

  Far, far away, I heard a sigh.

  "Ah, it's been ten days already. I didn't think I'd be able to catch up with the trend of crossing over. Haha, at that time, I thought I was going to die! The young man smiled faintly and shook his head, as if finding his thoughts from back then laughable."

  This person was none other than the Yi Chi who had been engulfed by that white light on Earth back then. Coincidentally, his name was still Yi Chi now, which made him feel a little fortunate. After all, Yi Chi still liked this name very much, and it was also given to him by his parents whom he had never met before, which could be considered the only memory of his past life.

  "Thud! Thud! Thud!"

  Yi Chi heard the footsteps and looked down to see a young servant in a green robe running towards him from outside the courtyard. From his hurried pace, it was clear that this young servant was very anxious.

  "Master Wu, Master Wu, the master has returned. The mistress asked me to call you to go and greet him." The little servant panted as he spoke respectfully to Yi Chi.

  "Oh, you said my dad is back, okay, you lead the way." Yi Chi heard that it was his father from this life who had returned, and he didn't dare to slack off either. From the memories of the original owner of this body, he knew that his father was very strict.

  But towards him, it's especially affectionate and kind, who let the original owner of this body be a legendary Nine- Aperture Body!

  The so-called Nine Wastes Body refers to a body that cannot cultivate magic or martial arts, and is completely unable to store magical energy or martial arts aura.

  If it were to happen in another family, a situation like Yi Chi's would definitely be thrown into the cold palace and humiliated from then on. However, Yi Chi is considered very lucky, this Yi family is a special existence, his cheap old father, after learning about his own nine-leaked body, not only did not neglect him, but also showed more care, the original Yi Chi was moved to tears.

  Moreover, the Yi family is particularly united. As the fifth son of the Yi family, the four older brothers in front of Yi Chi are also quite good to him, and the emotions among the brothers are still not bad. There is no life-and-death struggle for the position of the head of the household.

  "Maybe it's because I'm not a threat?" Yi Chi thought to himself as he rushed towards the main gate.

  Also, a harmless waste will also go out of their way to make things difficult. Moreover, the current head of the household, who is also the father of these few people, attaches great importance to family unity. If anyone does something that harms their own kind, he won't care if you're his biological son or not, and will punish you without exception.

  "This cheap old man really has a personality." Yi Chi recalled the memory of being slapped by his father when he was young and couldn't help but be embarrassed.

  ......

  Near the main gate, Yi Chi saw from afar the welcoming ceremony for his father, with his several older brothers standing respectfully by the sedan chair, two on each side.

  It's strange to say, but Yiqi's eldest brother and third brother seem to be in one group, while the second brother and fourth brother are in another. However, what's even stranger is that his eldest brother and fourth brother are biological brothers, born from the same mother, although they're dead now. In Yiqi's opinion, they should have joined forces against the second and third brothers, but instead, those two don't get along either, which can be seen as a twist of fate.

  Of course, these were all observed by Yi Chi himself. As a useless person who couldn't cultivate, he usually just read books or did some adventurous business at home. Several times, he happened to see the four cheap brothers arguing, but they didn't notice him.

  As a world where might makes right, after Yi Chi's observation over the past few days, combined with his somewhat incomplete memories, he could be said to have some understanding of this continent.

  The martial system of the Luo Tian Continent is clear-cut and only divided into two types: Mages and Qi Cultivators.

  Both careers have twelve stages, each stage divided into nine stars.

  The cultivators of Dou Qi are divided from low to high into: Dou Shi, Dou Zhe, Dou Shi, Da Dou Shi, Dou Ling, Dou Wang, Dou Zong, Dou Huang, Dou Di, Dou Zun, Dou Sheng and the highest Dou Shen.

  The magician is further divided into: apprentice mage, mage, great mage, magician, grand magician, magic conductor, great magic conductor, magic master, great magic master, sacred magic master, law saint and the highest law god.

  However, basically in what Yi Chi knew, there was no mention of the existence of Dou Zun and Sheng Mo Da Shi now, let alone the two levels above.

  Let's take the Yi family as an example. On the surface, there is a two-star Dou Wang as the head of the household, but everyone knows that this cannot be the ultimate martial power. The four major families all have their own trump cards. As for other families, Yi Chi is not clear, but he knows that his own Yi family has a Dou Zong existence. He has seen it before, but that was when he was young. In the past decade, he hasn't seen it again. Yi Chi's body is also fifteen years old now.

  At his age, if he could cultivate, he should have had the strength of eight or nine star dou servants. His several older brothers already had the strength of nine-star dou servants at his age.

  However, there is one thing that is quite strange about this world. It seems that magicians are not very common, and they are not many among the people. If there are any, it's because they have obtained their predecessors' notes on cultivation to become a magician.

  "In this world, it seems that magicians are exclusively official! He knew that in the Xiang Tian Empire, there was a magic army corps with one million magician troops, while among civilians, there were only a few, and even those were just weak magic apprentices."

  Even Lian He Yi Jia was no exception. The entire family had only five magicians, one of whom was a first-rate magician, and the other four were all seventh or eighth-rate magicians.

  It's not that impressive at first glance, but the magical attack power and range are quite formidable. According to Yip Chi, it's probably because of this that it has significant strategic value, which is why it was banned from being spread among civilians by various empires.

  ......

  "Fourth brother, you're just one away!" Seeing Yi Chi arrive, big brother Yi Hang hurriedly said and pulled Yi Chi to his side.

  "Hehe, big brother, you also know that I, the fifth brother, can't cultivate, so naturally my speed is slower." Yi Chi cleverly dodged Yi Xing's hand that was reaching out to pat his shoulder, he didn't want to get involved in their war, it's better to stay away.

  He didn't mind not running into Yi Chi, and withdrew his hand, smiling at Yi Chi before falling silent.

  Yi Chi also ignored others and stood aside after greeting his stepmother, the mother of his second and third brothers.

  However, apart from Da Ge Yi Xing, the other three people only took a glance at him when Yi Chi arrived and furrowed their brows slightly when Yi Xing pulled him. At other times, he was staring blankly at the street ahead, waiting for his father to return. Who had the time to exchange empty pleasantries with Yi Chi?

  Yi Chi saw that no one was paying attention to him, and he didn't mind either. He was even more delighted with the peace and quiet. His cheap old man had been out for a whole month, let alone the ten days Yi Chi had crossed over. Even in the previous twenty days, his Jinghe Courtyard hadn't had many visitors. After all, the master of the house who supported him wasn't around, so everyone didn't bother to show off how united they were.

  Yi Chi smiled disdainfully, of course, there was also disdain for the original Yi Chi. In the heart of the original Yi Chi, their family was a very united one. However, based on Yi Chi's observations since coming to this world, he didn't think so.

  "The unity of this family is entirely because the current head of the household likes to see a united family, so it's all just an act. The original owner of this body was not very worldly and didn't understand the dangers of human nature, which is why he believed it. I'm sure my father knew too, but probably couldn't do anything about it." Yi Chi analyzed quietly to himself, as this was a matter that concerned his future survival, and he couldn't afford to be careless.
