Essence plain

_Essence Plain_ 

It's a world of martial arts and magic, where humans can wield extraordinary strength and also use magic. 

This can all be accomplished by the accumulation of an energy that flows in the air; it's called essence. It exists in different forms, but the main ones are qi essence, golden essence, and heavenly essence. 

With these essences, one can cultivate to become a being above humans and topple nations when they feel like it.

Clenching Cloud Sect

Flying Lobster Kingdom, First Claw City

This is one of the top sects in the midwestern continent of Essence Plain; it has a thing for genius, and anyone who graduates from this sect is regarded as a high-class cultivator no matter where they go in the midwestern continent. 

However, not everyone in this sect is a genius; most of them are just scumbags used as training puppets for the geniuses of the sect, and one of those scumbags was a young master of a low-class noble family, Mo Shen. 

He is currently seventeen and still on the first level of cultivation; he got admitted to the sect two years ago after cheating his way in with the dreams of getting a master that could help him get on the right path of cultivation. 

Unfortunately, no master in the sect took interest in him; he was so weak that he was slapped to death by a female disciple, Shen Yinyi, whom he tried to confess his love to. 

"That serves him right; how could a little cripple like him try to woo our beauty? Shen Yinyi, if I was the one who would have made him manless and chopped all his limbs." 

"Now that he is dead, the plague in our sect is gone. Sister Shen Yinyi is truly a goddess; she solved two problems at once."

"I'm only fifteen, and I'm on the third level of the essence apprentice realm; how old is he now and is he still on the first level?" useless." 

"Let's dispose of his body; no one cares if he dies or not, not even his family." 

Two outer court disciples stepped out of the crowd and picked up Mo Shen's corpse from the ground. They have a grin on their faces. 

It is obvious they are harboring ill intent against Mo Shen even after his death.

Meanwhile, at the same time, a speck of light no one could see was floating across the sky. The speck of light then started heading for the body of this world's Mo Shen. 

This tiny speck of light was no other than Mo Shen's soul; after entering this world, he was greeted with a new essence, then he started searching for a body with the right constitution. 

While searching, his eyes spotted one, but fortunately there was no soul in that body at the moment, meaning that this person is already dead. 

His soul immediately headed for the body and entered through its forehead. 

After entering the body, Mo Shen's soul merged with it and gave it life; in return, he started receiving information about the body and the world at large. 

This world was just like his, but different in power scaling and many other aspects of cultivation. 

In his previous life, the first realm of cultivation was the Qi gathering realm, but in this world it was the Qi apprentice realm; however, the strength of each realm was the same. 

A level 8 qi gathering realm cultivator from his world would be able to hold ground with a level 9 qi apprentice in this world. 

After he felt he had control over this body, he did not open his eyes, instead using the time to get this world into his head and understand the situation. 

After reading the memories, he then started to feel that his body was not on a solid surface but instead was in midair and that his four limbs were being held by something. 

Then he opened his eyes; the coldness of his previous self still lingered. 

He stared at the two guys holding him; they weren't looking at him because they knew he was dead. 

They reached a dumpsite, an 18-foot pit dug for the disposal of dirt and useless corpses like Mo Shen's. 

"His body is no longer cold." One of them said it half-heartedly. 

"That doesn't matter; let's put it down and check for any resources; he might have some pills or spirit stones with him." 

"Yeah, after that, we slice his body and make sure he never resurrects. hehe." Both of them smiled evilly and then placed Mo Shen's body on the ground. 

It was almost nighttime at the moment, so it was quite dark, and there was also no light crystal to light it up during the dark time. 

Mo Shen's eyes stared at them as they brought their hands close to his pockets. 

"I'm poor and weak; what do you think you will get from me?" Mo Shen's gentle voice came out. 

"Holy hell."

"Fuck.." 

Both of them yelled, deeply shocked by the voice they just heard.

Mo Shen rose his upper torso up; it was like the scene in movies where the dead rise from their coffins. 

Mo Shen placed his hands on the ground and supported himself upward. 

"You're not dead. No, we must use this chance to kill you." "You are not allowed to live." 

Mo Shen shook his head. In this world, Mo Shen would pee his pants if he was told those words, but himself—he could categorize himself as someone who's unfazed even at the face of death. 

The two outer court disciples dragged their swords out of their sheaths. 

"You guys are weaker; at least give me a sword; let's see who's stronger." Mo Shen sighed. 

Both disciples looked at each other for a brief second and started laughing their hearts out. 

"You, a total mess, dare to confront us with your Level 1 strength. In case you don't know, that strength of yours only gives you 10% more strength than an ordinary human." The first one said

"Not to forget that you don't know any martial arts." The other one was added.
