Path of Absolute Transcendence

Chapter 46: 46. Unlucky

Kai first went inside the formation since he was first in the tournament. He drew his sword from the scabbard and held it in his hand. He knew his teleportation location would be random, so he took them out in case of possible danger.

"Are you ready ?" The elder in charge asked.

"Yes, you can teleport me now."

Kai replied and closed his eyes. He felt the world rotate in a weird direction and when he woke up, he teleported to a dense forest.

"This is the worst; they didn't set a high-level formation."

Kai complained as soon as he arrived. He didn't feel like puking himself when he teleported with the grand elder, but the teleportation formation almost made him puke.

'I should learn about the situation first,' thought Kai. He used the cosmic awareness ability of plants to obtain the information. Soon, he got the information from the past seven days.

He did not know anything about the place; his landing area was very safe. There aren't any beasts that visited here last week, so he is safe for now.

'I should capture some insects and form a network using them.' Kai planned to spread the insects as widely as possible to find the location of the treasures and Yang Wudi.

His main purpose for coming to the secret is to capture Yang Wudi and experiment with him, but finding him is very hard in the secret realm. So he decided to find some useful treasure along the way.

Kai caught around fifteen bugs and sent them in different directions. He climbed a tree and patiently waited for the signal. He saw everything using electromagnetic waves, but he didn't find anything useful.

After traveling for 5 kilometers using the bugs, Kai moved from the place. His range is only five kilometers around him; it has increased compared to his initial 300 meters. In the higher realm, this range will improve with his strength.

Like this, Kai looked for a day and found a good treasure.

'The essence fruit will be helpful in the future.' Kai thought happily. He found an essence fruit in a tree; it is capable of helping cultivation in the body path.

'I should get rid of these guys first.' He saw a group of stone monkeys guarding the essence tree. Kai went near them and drew his sword.

*KIEHHH*

A single stone monkey saw Kai and alerted the other four. They attacked Kai as they saw him invading their territory.

Kai did not give them a chance to attack and directly attacked with his sword intent. He used speed as an attribute and swung from a distance. The sword intent traveled and directly killed a single monkey.

Its body was cut in half, and blood was splattered on the ground. The other monkeys did not panic and sprinted towards Kai in anger. They intended to exact revenge for their companion.

'These monkeys are simple creatures.' thought Kai. They are only at the early stages of Tier 2 and are no match for Kai.

Kai used his phantom steps and evaded every attack; he attacked them by exploiting their mistakes and killed them with a single sword by attacking their fatal points.

'These fruits smell good,' thought Kai. He picked the fruits from the tree and thought about eating them, but controlled them. The essence is a tier 2 fruit and cannot be placed outside after picking, so Kai wrapped them using a piece of cloth before storing them in the storage ring.

The opening time of the secret realm is only one month, and Kai had to find Yang Wudi before that, so he left the place immediately without wasting any time.

He found a lot of Tier 1 medicines on his way, but didn't take them since it would only waste his time. Since they are guarded by a group of beasts or a single beast,

After searching for another two days, Kai found something interesting.

"I never thought I would find a beast egg here," Kai exclaimed in surprise. A beast is a good thing for a cultivator since it can be turned into a mount and also a battle pet.

Kai checked the vicinity to find the mother of this egg but didn't find it. So he went to pick the egg in silence.

'Wow, this is huge. It is my jackpot today. ' Kai thought happily. The size of the egg is around two meters. It indicates that the egg is from a strong beast.

When Kai tried to touch the egg, he felt a sudden threat and immediately jumped aside. A huge claw scratched the place where Kai was standing before.

'Ohh! I escaped just in time, or else my life would be in danger.' Just thinking about that sudden attack frightened him.

The attacker was Golden Eyed Peng, a huge bird more than ten meters in size. Its huge, majestic wings alone are five meters in width, flying high in the air.

The golden-eyed peng has the bloodline of Kunpeng, a mythical beast that is on par with dragons and phoenixes.

It attacked Kai again to kill him, but he dodged this time easily since he became alert after seeing the bird.

"Hey, I didn't do anything to you, egg. I just came to see your baby." Kai tried explaining some bullshit to the Peng. It is a Tier 3 middle-stage beast, and Kai knows that he won't be able to defeat it, so he tries explaining since Tier 3 beasts are capable of understanding language.

But the Peng didn't hear anything from Kai and started attacking him. Kai started running, seeing that his words didn't work.

'I should never have visited this place, or at least I should have checked the air for its mother.' Kai complained while running from the peng. He ran into the tree to slow down the speed, but the peng didn't give him any chance and flapped its wings.

A lot of wind blades formed by its flapping cut down a lot of trees in his path. Kai also had to evade them since he was on the same path.

His speed slowed down a little due to the dodge; he activated his heart control ability and made his blood flow faster. At the same time, he used phantom steps, both of which increased his speed. But it isn't enough in front of a Tier 3 mid-stage beast, especially a bird with a bloodline of Kunpeng that is known for its extreme speed.

It again attacked using his wing, and a lot of wind blades went in the direction of Kai. Kai used his ultimate sense ability and dodged them, but slowed down his speed again.

'It seems I won't be able to stay passive all the time. If I don't do anything, I have to leave this world.' He immediately drew his sword and kept running with it. He didn't attack it, but waited for a perfect opportunity to surprise attack. He knew that he might get only one chance to attack, and he had to seize it to escape from the bird.

"Hey, stupid beast, you know what is in my hand? It is called an explosive talisman and will denote after some time." Kai said this and took a talisman from the storage ring.

A talisman is an auxiliary tool that assists the cultivator in every way. It is also a minor path like blacksmithing, alchemy, etc. The explosive talisman in Kai's hand is capable of exploding when Qi is imbued, but Kai lied to the peng to distract.

"The one in my hand will explode in three seconds." Kai threw the talisman aside while running, and after three seconds, it exploded.

"See, it is real. I put the same thing in your baby; if you don't rescue the egg within ten seconds, your baby won't be able to see the world again." Kai said with a grin.

The peng instinctively turned around and saw the egg using its golden eye ability. But it hadn't found anything after searching, knew that it was fooled by the human.

Kai knew that it was his chance to attack, so he fused will manifestation and sword intent on his sword.

[Absolute]

He used his powerful move to its full potential for the first time. He did not use [Absolute] to its full potential during the tournament. This move is capable of doing anything based on his desire, but he didn't use that application since it works on willpower. So he used it with Qi alone.

Kai desired to ignore the concept of distance between him and the bird since it may dodge the attack using its instinct alone. The sharp sword aura directly ignored the concept of distance and space and directly attacked its target.

The peng turned around in anger, but it was hit by a sharp sword intent on the eyes.

*KIIIIIA*

The peng screamed in agony, and its eye started to bleed. Kai took the opportunity to escape from the bird.

He had a few minutes to escape since the sword intent was combined with willpower, so the strength of that move also reached Tier 3.

Kai left the place without leaving any trace and found a hidden cave to hide in. He found the cave during the scout, he had used the bugs.

'I should recover my energy first.' thought Kai. He exhausted most of his energy in the last attack, so he decided to recover it. Being powerless in such a dense forest is very dangerous.

The peng opened its eyes to search for Kai; it was full of anger since a puny human injured it. But after searching for a bit, the Peng hadn't found Kai, so it left the place reluctantly. It has to protect its child from any danger.
