This story happened many years ago, in a time when Immortals and Martial Artists were equal in power.
Then one day, a man appeared. He created new rules for the world that nobody could resist. He created levels and ranks. He divided everyone into Mortal levels and Immortal levels.
In the past, a Martial Artist at Level 10 was equal to an Immortal. But this man changed everything. He made Martial Artists much weaker and limited their power only to Levels 2–4.
From then on, people from Levels 1–4 were called Martial Artists, and Levels 5–10 received the title of Immortal.
After creating these rules and ranks, that man suddenly disappeared from the world.
An old man was telling this story to his grandchildren.
One grandchild asked,
"Grandpa, was that person the strongest? Was he even above all levels?"
Grandpa replied,
"I don't know, but he came from a world higher than ours."
Grandpa continued,
"It is said that in the Upper World, time does not exist. Nobody dies from old age there. Real gods live there. The Immortals there are completely different from the Immortals here."
"When I was young, I read in books that the Upper World does not use levels. They only use ranks."
"It is said that even a normal person from there could control our entire lower world."
"Some people believe our world is under one cultivator from that Upper World."
After hearing this, the grandchild asked,
"Grandpa, who was that person who weakened Martial Artists? What was his name?"
Grandpa said,
"I don't know for sure, but books called him… Angle Dao."
The grandchild said,
"Oh, so Angle Dao is the strongest."
Grandpa nodded.
"Yes, son."
Then the story changed.
Bei Moo was telling this story to Kaal Jo.
After listening, Bei Moo said,
"This is why Mortals have such low ranks. That man made them weak."
Kaal Jo became angry and said,
"If I ever meet that guy, I'll beat him so badly that he forgets his own name."
Bei Moo started laughing.
"Hahaha… Disciple, that person is very strong. To defeat him, you must become much stronger."
Kaal Jo asked,
"Strong? Does he think he owns the world?"
Bei Moo replied,
"He actually created this world."
Kaal Jo was shocked.
"What? Is he the Dao of this world?"
Bei Moo answered,
"Yes… and no."
Kaal Jo asked,
"What do you mean?"
Bei Moo explained,
"He came later and changed the rules. He ruled this world for around one million years."
Kaal Jo was shocked again.
"One million years? But why would such a powerful person stay in a lower world? He could rule his own world."
Bei Moo replied,
"Maybe in his world there are people even stronger than him."
Kaal Jo asked,
"If we reach the maximum level, can we become as strong as him?"
Bei Moo answered,
"Maybe… but reaching the maximum level takes a lot of time and effort."
Kaal Jo asked,
"How much time?"
Bei Moo replied,
"Around twenty thousand years."
Kaal Jo almost went crazy.
"Twenty thousand years?! Are you serious? That's too much!"
Bei Moo laughed and said,
"I know. But once you reach Level 6, your lifespan increases by 4,000 years. Every time you level up, your lifespan doubles."
Kaal Jo asked,
"Then how old are you?"
Bei Moo sighed and said,
"I am 1,500 years old and still have 3,500 years left."
Kaal Jo smiled.
"Oh! Then I still have enough time to become very strong."
Bei Moo started laughing again.
Then the scene changed.
At the Battle Arena, Emperor Kai Joo was hosting the fights.
Suddenly, a warrior arrived and reported:
"Your Majesty, the Prince has arrived."
The Emperor became surprised.
"The Prince? Why? I told him not to come."
Then Butler Odex arrived with Lin Joo.
The Emperor said,
"Odex, I told you not to bring the Prince here. Why didn't you listen?"
Lin Joo quickly said,
"Father, it was my decision. Butler only brought me because I wanted to come."
"I want to fight too. I've been feeling bored lately."
The Emperor smiled.
"Oh? You want to join the competition?"
Lin Joo answered,
"Yes."
The Emperor's name was Emperor Kai Joo, and he was a Level 6 Mid Stage cultivator.
Beside him stood Lin Joo's mother, Ning Joo.
She said,
"Lin Joo, be careful."
Lin Joo smiled.
"Okay, Mom."
Then Ning Joo announced to everyone:
"Listen everyone! Prince Lin Joo will also participate in this competition!"
The crowd became excited.
"What? Even the Prince is fighting?"
Soon the news spread across the entire kingdom.
When Jay Mo heard this news, he smiled and said:
"Oh, now this competition will become interesting. Maybe I should participate too."
