Virus Cultivation

Tianwu

"Hey, did you see those huge holes in the mountains nearby? Did a battle between experts take place?" A local gossip.

"But none of us noticed who fought there. All we heard is loud explosions and tons of clashing."

I gulp as I eavesdrop on their conversation. The power of the fourth stage and fifth stage...is on another level.

As for the demonstration, I will leave it until the tournament as a surprise.

Before setting off for Tianwu, I bought the Supreme Skin for 50,000 points.

A gigantic bird soars around Nielong. Everybody gazes at the sky to see the spectacle.

The bird lands outside of Nielong as I walk to it.

A Tamer cultivator jumps down the bird and looks at me. "Are you the one who called for my service?"

I nod. "Bring me to Tianwu."

The road to Tianwu is packed with carriages. If I travel by carriage, I will be late for the tournament.

He gazes at me and Li Ruo. "I am not responsible for your safety but I can prevent your fall for an extra 50 silver coins."

"Not a problem, we can take care of ourselves," I say as I give him one gold coin.

...

"Alright." He hops back in his bird and pets it.

I grab Li Ruo by her waist and jump up onto the bird, Li Ruo is sweating buckets from anxiety.

After a few flaps of wings, the bird jets into the sky. I hold Li Ruo tightly as I control the atmosphere Qi to neutralize inertia.

The tamer looks back and his eyes widen. "W-What? Your Meridians and Dantian are broken but you are controlling Qi?!"

"What's wrong?" I ask.

...

"Forgive me for my rude behaviour, I've failed to notice a master." He says.

The journey became an awkward and silent one.

After 2 days, I finally see signs of civilisation, a majestic city surrounded by tall mountains and floating islands, a meticulous surrounding array is put into place.
The city is separated into many sections, some on parts of the tall mountains, some on floating islands. The buildings are tall and well maintained in Tianwu with many decorated with gold and jewellery. The streets are packed to the brim with countless mortals and cultivators alike, creating a sea of humans.

This is... Tianwu.

The large bird created a huge scenery at the foot of Tianwu attracting a flock to witness who the rich person is.

"Young master, we are here." The tamer says as he jumps off the beast.

I leap off with Li Ruo. The tamer widgets with his robe before taking out a gold coin. "I assume the young master is here for the Junior Cultivation Tournament, it is my honour to give you a ride."

...

I take the gold coin and pocket it. The tamer bows at me before setting off with his bird.

"A rich mortal? He looks very young."

"Maybe an ancient descendant? But I don't feel any Qi within him."

"What family is he from?"

My entrance spur much gossip among bystanders. Some cultivators glare at me, some envy me, while the majority of cultivators...are emitting malicious intent.
