[You are now an evil immortal! For the sake of those who do not have any knowledge about xianxia. An Artificial Intelligence Pixie Fairy is made available to help you. Summon the Pixie Fairy by calling its na! The Pixie's na is listed within your updated Skill Tree...]
[Your Skill Tree has been updated...]
Joseph opened his eyes and he found himself staring at an unfamiliar ceiling.
Or was it a ceiling?
Joseph wasn't so sure since what he was seeing right now was a ceiling that was made out of rocks.
Joseph skimd through the system notifications that blocked his eyes and he was intrigued by what he had read.
A Pixie Fairy? I have soone to guide ? Nice!
Joseph hurriedly opened his Skill Tree and found that he only had a single skill available to him.
It had the icon of a beautiful fairy. Joseph tapped on it and found that the na of the Pixie Fairy was Elizabeth. Closing his Main nu and the Skill Tree, Joseph opened his mouth and called upon the na of the Pixie.
"Elizabeth!"
Joseph uttered and a flash of brilliant light appeared within the cave.
The light lasted for only several seconds at most before it dissipated, revealing the figure of a fairy that looked to be the sa size as a ruler. The fairy had wings attached on her back and she wore a green dress that expressed the harmony of Spring with nature.
It really suited Joseph who ca from the Kingdom of Nether.
[Pixie Fairy Personality has been decided according to the tastes of the Player!]
[Initializing...]
According to my tastes? What in the hell does that an?
Joseph furrowed his eyebrows, but he couldn't hide the anticipation on his face.
[Initialization complete...]
The Pixie Fairy Elizabeth finally opened her eyes and as soon as she saw Joseph. She almost imdiately frowned and assud a cold facade that greatly astonished Joseph who inwardly lampooned.
You made her like Alice!
Yes, that face! That cold face right there looks completely the sa as Alice!
What the fuck, system?!
Joseph facepald. But since everything had already been decided and there was no use crying over spilled milk. He couldn't do anything other than sigh and stare at the Pixie Fairy Elizabeth.
Yes, Pixie Fairy Elizabeth.
That was the na floating above the head of the Pixie.
"You're the one that summoned ?" Pixie Fairy Elizabeth raised an eyebrow and scanned Joseph from head to toe, her eyes that radiated infinite coldness seed to be inwardly mocking Joseph.
"Yes, I'm your master, and what's that look and with that tone of voice?" Joseph frowned.
"Is there sothing wrong with my tone of voice?" Pixie Fairy Elizabeth asked.
"You forgot to add the "master" at the end!" Joseph criticized.
Pixie Fairy Elizabeth rolled her eyes and didn't bother about Joseph anymore.
What the fuck... Aren't I the master among the two of us? Why does it feel like it's the other way around?
Joseph gnashed his teeth and asked, "Tell about the objectives of this King's Trial..."
Pixie Fairy Elizabeth montarily glanced at him and said, "You didn't read the system notifications? Sigh... I really didn't expect that not only I would get a not-so-handso master, he's also quite lazy!" Pixie Fairy Elizabeth sighed.
Veins bulged on Joseph's forehead as he thought.
Fuck, he's not just Alice! Her insults sound like Alice but on steroids!
Joseph took several deep breaths and cald himself down.
Afterwards, he then stared at the Pixie Fairy and replied, "I did read the system notifications but the objectives are too vague! I'm now an evil immortal and I need to comprehend the concept of Justice, Law, and Order? Just what the hell are concepts in the first place?"
Pixie Fairy Elizabeth stared at Joseph for a mont before she sighed, seemingly surrendering to her fate on needing to teach her ignorant master about the common sense of this world.
"You are now an evil immortal that cultivates the Art of Discord and Disorder. You are currently at the Core Formation Realm and you are trying to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm..."
"However, to make that breakthrough, you must understand the Concept of Justice, Law, and Order first and summon the Heavenly Tribulation and then survive against it..."
"As for how to do that, you can use any thod for as long as you can evoke the wrath of the heavens. I know that this is quite vague and because of that, there's no definite deadline to this King's Trial. You can research for as long as you want, but keep in mind that you will not be able to return to the world of Victory unless you succeed or fail."
Joseph repeatedly nodded his head as he listened to the explanation of the Pixie Fairy.
When the Pixie Fairy was finally done with her explanation.
Joseph had a look of excitent on his face.
As he expected, from the words, "Immortal" alone. Joseph had already deduced that this King's Trial had sothing to do with cultivation or cultivating to fight against the heavens as he had read on those Eastern Fantasy books.
Joseph had always been a fan of Eastern Fantasy books and it was his favorite pasti to read these kinds of books whenever he was bored. Now that he had a chance to display his knowledge and wisdom regarding the world of Immortals, how could Joseph not be excited about that?
In fact, he was actually even profusely thanking the P.H Works right now for giving him such a precious opportunity.
Seeing that Joseph didn't reply...
Pixie Fairy Elizabeth frowned and asked, "Would you like to know more information about the Cultivation Realms in this world?"
Joseph lightly smiled and said, "Just give a brief summary regarding them..."
"I just need to confirm sothing."
Pixie Fairy Elizabeth nodded and started talking, "The nas of the cultivation realms and their description are quite literal so if you have a few brain cells remaining in your brain, I think you will be able to instantly understand what they an..."
"The first realm is the Qi Gathering Realm, Second is Foundation Establishnt, Third is the Core Formation Realm, and the Fourth is the Nascent Soul Realm which is the highest Realm achievable by anyone in this world and is considered as the front door to the world of Immortals..."
"Only by stepping into the Nascent Soul Realm could one call himself a genuine Immortal. In other words, a Core Formation Realm cultivator like you is nothing but a fake Immortal."
Pixie Fairy Elizabeth scoffed when she completed her sentence.
But Joseph who had already thought that he should treat Pixie Fairy Elizabeth like how he always treated Alice whenever she was ranting didn't mind her mocking at all.
Instead, he rely nodded his head and asked, "What functions do you have aside from answering my questions?"
Joseph casually asked, but the Pixie Fairy Elizabeth's expression paled.
She hurriedly pulled her skirt downwards and covered her chests, "What do you an? Why are you asking sothing like that? Could it be that you're thinking of...?"
"Fuck off! Why would I think about sothing like that?" Even Joseph couldn't take it anymore as he violently cursed. He already had Alice, why would he be a pervert towards other won?
Particularly when that woman was a Pixie who was only as big as his palm.
Joseph explained a few more tis before Pixie Fairy Elizabeth was finally convinced.
Afterwards, she promptly replied to Joseph's question earlier.
"I can do anything that you want to do for as long as I am willing and it's within the limits of one's imagination..." A cold look could be seen on her face as she explained.
It seed like, despite Joseph's explanation, she still wasn't convinced that Joseph wouldn't do sothing untoward against her.
"So, you can do anything for as long as it's actually possible, eh? In that case, can you turn into a mortal and vice-versa?" Joseph asked.
"Why would you want to be a mortal?" Pixie Fairy Elizabeth asked with a frown.
Being an immortal in this realm ant that Joseph could do almost everything that he wanted to do save from destroying the entire world, yet why was he abandoning such power for the sake of being a mortal?
It didn't make any sense.
Joseph shook his head and stared at her with visible mocking like how she stared at him earlier and said, "It seems like you really don't understand. Yes, I may be an Immortal but I am trying to comprehend the ways of the heavens, and in order to do that. I must abide by the laws of the heavens first, aning. I should cease fighting against the heavens..."
"Being an immortal is fighting against the laws of the heavens. That is why I won't be able to comprehend the heavens if I remain as an immortal. Only by becoming a mortal could an immortal beco a true immortal. These are the lessons that those books that I read on a daily basis told ..." Joseph had a proud look on his face as he explained.
Pixie Fairy Elizabeth looked confused, but since it was the will of his master to be a mortal. She did what he wanted her to do and within the next few seconds. Joseph promptly collapsed onto the ground, his knees collapsing under the weight of his body.
"What the fuck? Why can't I stand up? Hey, what did you do?"
Joseph angrily glared at Pixie Fairy Elizabeth.
Pixie Fairy Elizabeth rolled her eyes and said, "Your body is the body of a thousand-year-old immortal. A mortal's lifespan is a re hundred years at most. aning, if you beca an immortal at that state, you will definitely die in just under a minute since there's no way that a mortal could be more than a hundred-years-old."
"Then, turn back! What the hell are you waiting for? Do you really want to die that much? I am your master, you know?!" Joseph retorted.
Thankfully, Pixie Fairy Elizabeth promptly complied and strength returned to Joseph's body.
But since he still wanted to beco an immortal, he gave her another set of instructions.
"Since I cannot be a mortal with that old body of mine. How about you turn into a youngster and afterwards, you transform into a mortal in that state using that body? In that case, I won't need to worry about my body collapsing and turning into ashes, right?"
Pixie Fairy Elizabeth snorted, "That's right, you should've told about that earlier."
"Hey, hey, hey! You already knew that becoming a mortal in that old body was detrintal but you still turned into a mortal despite knowing that fact. Are you sure that you are here to help instead of trying to kill ?" Joseph angrily retorted, there was a wronged look on his face as if he was greatly hurt by what she had done.
Pixie Fairy Elizabeth's expression softened.
Of course, she knew that turning Joseph into a mortal while he was still using that old body was detrintal, but she was nothing but a re servant. She needed precise instructions from her master and only through that could she do everything that he wanted her to do.
She promptly explained about her circumstances to Joseph...
But her explanation made Joseph frown instead as he lampooned.
"So, it turns out that you still need exact instructions to work even though you are made with a highly-advanced Artificial Intelligence. But it doesn't really matter, I just need to give you proper instructions, right?" Joseph turned to look at her for confirmation and Pixie Fairy Elizabeth nodded her head without saying anything.
She felt like Joseph was sowhat mocking her, but since she couldn't grasp if it was the truth...
She resorted to not saying anything instead.
"Before you turn into a mortal, can you explain to what concepts are? Just what exactly is a Concept and what can I do using it?" Joseph asked, even though he had an idea of what concepts were. it was still safer to ask since asking questions wasn't even a cri anyway.
Pixie Fairy Elizabeth stared at him for a mont before she sighed and explained: "Concepts are sotis called Laws. Cultivation is basically the sa as fighting against the heavens, but if you want to fight against the heavens and survive, you must comprehend these vague ideas called Concepts..."
"There are a lot of unheard Concepts in the world and they are ever-changing. Of course, there are Concepts that never change or can never be changed such as the Concept of Ti and Space, Concept of Death and Life, and the Concept of Change. One can only use a Concept if they thoroughly understand what it was and how it worked..."
"Combining these vague concepts along with understanding the core of one's life or the internal aspects that makes up the life of a cultivator is the only way that one can thoroughly fight against the heavens and even stand on par against it!" Pixie Fairy Elizabeth looked incomparably proud after her explanation but Joseph rely chuckled.
"Yeah, that indeed sounds aweso but your explanations are quite empty. I want an explanation that even a five-year-old can understand! Explain it to again like I'm five!"
Pixie Fairy Elizabeth froze, a wry smile escaped on her lips as she stared at her master.
Seeing that he looked to be completely serious about what he had said. Pixie Fairy Elizabeth sighed and promptly explained, "Concepts are what makes up the universe and to use it is the sa as utilizing the underlying aning of that particular Concept..."
"Say you are using the Concept of Ti and Space. If you thoroughly understand that Concept then you can easily manipulate Ti and Space. You can speed up the passing of ti, slow it down, or even pause it..."
"For example, say that you want to instantly harvest the fruits of a particular tree..."
"You can use the Concept of Ti and Space to instantly make it bear fruit. That's basically how it works. If you still don't understand it, then how about you just use it?" Pixie Fairy Elizabeth made a proposal that astonished Joseph.
"I can use it?"
"What?" Pixie Fairy Elizabeth rolled her eyes and said, "Did you already forget that you cultivate the Art of Discord and Disorder? Interpret the aning of "Discord" and "Disorder" then try to use them according to your understanding of them..."
"Try to use them according to my understanding of them? Heck, I don't even know what the word "Discord" ans..." Joseph shook his head and inwardly chuckled.
He opened up Mister Google and found that the aning of Discord was basically the sa as conflict, while disorder was quite easy for Joseph to understand.
But to cause conflict and chaos... Wait, isn't conflict basically the cause of chaos and chaos is the effect of conflict?
Could it be that Concepts... Even though there are too many of them, they are still intertwined with each other in so ways or another?
Joseph fell into deep contemplation.
Afterwards, he stared at a certain rock on the ground and tried imagining how he could cause conflict within that rock that would make it shatter.
But despite being in a staring contest against the rock for several minutes, nothing was happening.
Pixie Fairy Elizabeth noticed what Joseph was trying to do, and even though she knew that what he was doing wasn't even the correct way of evoking the Concept of Discord and Disorder. She didn't stop him for she thought that it was quite amusing to see him struggle like this.
"What the fuck, why is it not working? Do I imagine sothing happening or not? You said sothing about the limits of imagination earlier, yet why is my imagination not affecting the world?" Joseph turned to look at Pixie Fairy Elizabeth with frustration clearly on his face.
"Pffft..." Pixie Fairy Elizabeth couldn't help it anymore as she laughed out loud. Her shoulders and wings continuously trembled and she even almost fell onto the ground due to her laughter.
Joseph raised his hand and sent a slap towards her direction.
Pixie Fairy Elizabeth promptly stopped her laughter and evaded the slap.
"What are you doing?" She asked with a frown.
"That should be my line! You're the one mocking your master here so I should be the one that should be angry!" Joseph angrily retorted. After taking several deep breaths to calm himself, he continued, "Tell what's going on. How do I use that Art of Discord and Disorder."
Pixie Fairy Elizabeth rolled her eyes and replied, "You use Qi."
"Qi? Oh, that makes sense." Joseph closed his eyes and started ditating according to the thod that he learned from his years of reading eastern fantasy novels.
But his actions made him look pretentious to the eyes of Pixie Fairy Elizabeth as she asked, "I still haven't told you how to do it. In fact, do you even know how to use Qi?"
Joseph didn't reply to her question.
He just kept his eyes closed and his senses sealed off from the outside world.
Soon, Joseph felt an inexplicable sensation...
He guided that sensation towards the tip of his fingers and pointed it on a random rock on the ground and with his will...
Bang!
... A ray of crimson light flew from the tip of his index finger towards that rock, crushing it into smithereens.
"So that's how you do it!" Joseph exclaid in excitent.
"What...? You... You already know how to summon Qi... How did you learn it that fast?" Pixie Fairy Elizabeth had a look of visible confusion and shock on her face as she asked.
But Joseph ignored her as he proceeded to play around using his newfound power.
He ford several rays of crimson light and made them circle around his body. He even turned them into several shapes such as a sword, spear, rapier, and even a bow and an arrow.
Wow... So, Qi is actually like a lump of clay that you can transform anything for as long as it's within the limits of your capabilities and imagination. By imagination, I an, you must not only have a clear picture of sothing. You must also understand how it works...
I tried creating a Nuclear Bomb through my Qi, but it didn't work. That ans that even though I can imagine how a Nuclear Bomb looks like, as long as I don't understand how it works. I cannot create it through my Qi.
Joseph repeatedly nodded his head as he inwardly thought to himself.
But is this really using the Concept of Discord and Disorder?
Joseph turned his attention to another piece of rock and he tried to use the Concept of Discord and Disorder within it but to no avail. However, Joseph suddenly had a brilliant idea.
What if I sow discord and create disorder within the minerals that make up that rock?
Wait, that is actually a great idea!
How did I not think of this earlier?
Joseph had the urge to facepalm, but his curiosity got the best of him as he stared at the rock once again.
This ti, he imagined creating discord and disorder among the minerals that make up the rock and...
Crack...
Bang!
... Viola!
The rock abruptly shattered before turning into dust.
The excited Joseph hurriedly turned to another piece of rock and through the sa thod, he also turned that rock into dust. Afterwards, he turned to find a tree, then a mosquito, then a frog, and then finally, he turned to look at the Pixie Fairy Elizabeth and smiled.
So the Concept of Discord and Disorder is actually just taking the aning of both words and imagining what scenario you wanted to happen according to the aning of those words.
In the case of that rock earlier, I imagined conflict between the minerals that make up that rock and since their relationship beca disharmonious, the rock exploded and shattered.
A look of curiosity flashed across Joseph's face as he stared intently at Pixie Fairy Elizabeth.
I wonder what will happen if I create conflict between what she knows as reality and imagination? Would that make her think that the real world was just her imagination or a dream? Or will her imagination manifest into the real world in an unknown form that I still don't know about?
There's only one way to know the answer to this question!
Let's try it out!
Joseph decided...
"Conflict between what is reality and imagination in her head!"
Joseph inwardly uttered and Pixie Fairy Elizabeth's eyes abruptly widened.
But it was quickly replaced with a blank look that Joseph hurriedly took advantage of.
"I am your master and you absolutely love ..."
"You do everything that you can do to please , and you will never betray ..."
"You will attack those that dare to harm and you will protect with your life."
Joseph casually ordered.
He even looked pleased since he thought that he had finally placed the arrogant Pixie Fairy Elizabeth in her place.
But little did he knew that this so-called casual and small order of his was just the beginning of his troubles in the future.
