Zhang Yuan's

Moving the World

In the depths of the forbidden forest that was in the middle of the Lantern Kingdom, stood a black-robed man with a breathless state. The man took a deep breath while staring intently ahead. With the state battered by the assault of the troops raining down on him, he was still trying to withstand the attack with defensive magic.

“The evil necromancer, Charles, didn't I say clearly to surrender and come with us to the prime minister” said a steel-armored lekaki looking with disdain.

His heart skipped a beat and Charles said “General Milos, I don't know what you mean, suddenly came attacking and accusing people recklessly.”

“Cih, stop pretending and quickly follow us to court, your crimes that have stolen many corpses from eating heroes must be accounted for. The wicked witch of savage.” Said the General furiously.

Charles' heart was pounding and his face was starting to turn pale. It had been more than five years that he stole the corpses of the heroes to be resurrected into Undead and it was unexpected that others would find out this soon. Even though he knows that sooner or later others will know it.

Over the past five years, Charles had already made over 300 high-level Undead troops. However, all the Undead forces were destroyed by the combined forces of the Kingdom and the Holy Temple. What he did was the most heinous and taboo on the entire continent. It is the same as insulting the heroes of the nation. Everything he did for one purpose, which was to avenge the Lantern Kingdom.

Charles laughed and said “General Milos, I did not expect that you would be this desperate, to the point of conducting a joint operation with the Holy Temple.”

Before becoming a fugitive Necromancer, Charles was one of the heads of the elite magician division in the Lantern Kingdom. Then for some reason he was accused of being a traitor and he was exiled to the borders of the Kingdom. Because of his resentment, he began to study black magic and build an army of Undead using the corpses of the dead.

The achievements he had gained while still being a magician of countless Kingdoms. Charles was a man who was despised by the generals of the Kingdom, even the neighboring countries were afraid of him. How not, Charles the head of the elite magician division was one of the 9 high-level great magicians in the entire continent. His knowledge of magic, Alchemy and the manufacture of saint artifacts was unrivalled for the past 80 years.

The hard work he earned was solely for the good of the Kingdom. But on the other hand, the nobles and even the King began to fear his power. Instead of defending the witch, the Kingdom began to create a scenario to impose a punishment on Charles until he was exiled to the border.

Now he was in a state where he might die with remorse

because they have not yet got revenge.

“Hahaha, maybe this is the end of my life. May in another life I live as I wish, ' said Charles, shedding tears.

After thinking for a moment, Charles rounded up his resolve to perform suicide magic. He thought that dying like this was more honorable than being caught and tried in the midst of the Capital.

“High level magic Hell Fire Explosion” Shouts Charles while casting spells.

The people who saw Charles cast a spell did not have time to make a move to stop him.

Booms!

The loud sound was as if like thunder snatching. Strong tremors and a large explosion occurred, General Milos and his troops were thrown from the blast. Black smoke was seen spreading from the source of the explosion.

“Uhuk... uhuk.. Where is that vile witch?” general Milos asked his troops while examining the surroundings with a cough.

After observing the circumstances around, a large hole was seen due to an explosion like a crater of a meteor falling as wide as 100 meters.

“Sial, how dare Charles do magic suicide” said General Milos with great fury.

In the middle of the night the cloud covered the moonlight. The raindrops began to fall and became increasingly heavy. The rain drenched the bodies lying there, looking like the scene of a terrible war. The thick blood-smelling air drew the ferocious beasts closer and began to eat the corpses.

“Aaaaa... No!” Shouted loudly a young man who was electrifying and made the animals around run away in fear.

After shouting, the young man realized that there was something strange.

The young man's hand groped his entire body to make sure that he had not been destroyed by the explosion. He glanced at the surrounding area, many corpses covered in blood like a massacre had occurred. Suddenly he screamed in pain and many memories entered his mind.

“Arrgghh...” shouted the young man while holding his head.

The unbearable pain made him scream nonstop for half an hour. After that he started to feel calm and took a deep breath.

“Is this me now?. These memories are real. Seeing what was around me, it seemed like I was dead and my soul was thrust into this body.” Said the young man.

“Body that I currently occupy a 20-year-old youth.” Said the young man who was none other than Charles who died from suicide magic. But instead of going to the afterlife, Charles' soul was thrown into another world and fused with the body of a young man.

His name was Zhang Yuan, 20 years old, an orphan on the outskirts of Xueyu Village. Her life was full of misery along with her two young sisters. Three days ago there was a massacre by Imperial forces to eradicate the population infected with the dangerous Cokoro Virus. All the residents of Xueyu Village died and became piles of corpses.

The corner of Zhang Yuan's mouth was raised and grinned.

“Hahaha, an orphaned young man who died from an attack by his own country? Zhang Yuan, calm down in nature there and let me use your body to avenge your death and the death of your brothers.” Zhang Yuan said with a grin thinking about what he would do in the future.

Zhang Yuan laughed happily and said “This world is a world of cultivators, different from my previous life in the world of sword and magic. It seems, I can utilize the knowledge from his previous life to live in this world and become invincible.”.

While muttering, Zhang Yuan started walking towards the pile of corpses and ransacking the corpses of the residents. This was done to find valuable treasures or other resources, given that the Xueyu Village residents were devotees of one of the demon street cults. After a long search, he finally found a scroll that contained a low-level demon path cultivation technique, spirit stones, as well as 10,000 thousand gold coins within the space ring of one of the corpses.

Sure enough, there were only low-level Martial Arts among ordinary people. Martial Arts is divided into three levels. Low-level Martial Arts, middle-tier Martial Arts and high-level Martial Arts that only Nobles Families and Royal Families could learn from.

After seeing what he got from the corpse, Zhang Yuan was startled and said “Devil Shadow Technique?” Zhang Yuan who looked puzzled, yet it was only for a moment.

“How can this corpse store a domineering-looking Martial Art, isn't he just a commoner? And again, this technique has 3 kinds of usage methods, it seems like the Goddess of luck is on my side.” The corner of Zhang Yuan's mouth lifted and a glint of light flashed across his pupils.

After obtaining those Martial Arts, Zhang Yuan hurried to go near the large tree rich in spirit energy outside Xueyu Village and sat under the tree, then he began to close his eyes to cultivate.

There are 5 stages in cultivation. Body Formation Stage, Qi Collection Stage, Soul Refining Stage, Spiritual Stage and Heavenly Stage. Each stage is further divided into 9 layers. Body formation was only the initial stage in cultivation, after which a cultivator's psychic could lift hundreds of kilograms and could hit a huge rock to crack, as well as be able to run as fast as a horse. As for the stage above the Heavenly realm, it can only be reached by geniuses and talents once a million years, namely the Heavenly God realm.

According to the memories of this body owner, in the Huangsi Empire, martial artists under 20 years of age who reached the Qi Gathering Stage were already considered geniuses. Even among the Great Families and Nobles Families with abundant resources who reached the soul purification stage were no more than 50,000 people. As for Martial Artists who reached the Heavenly Stage it could generally only be achieved by the Royal Family and Nobles Family.

The Imperial soldiers and the Nobles personal army contained people at the Soul Refining Stage and Spiritual Stage. People who were at the Heavenly Stage were the higher-ups and guards of the Empire as well as the elders of the Noble Family whose strength when compared to the Spiritual Stage was like 1:100. Though despite only reaching the Spiritual Stage, the person could already fly away and could even destroy a huge wall with a single strike.

In this Martial Continent, most could cultivate. Even cultivators were in layer 1 or 2 in the Body Forming Stage. The previous owner of the body was already at the 2nd layer Body Formation Stage even though he was an orphan. However, his spirit never wavers to become strong in order to protect his younger siblings.

Cultivation techniques are only the initial stage to embark on the path as a differentiated artist. After starting to cultivate, everyone should learn other martial techniques as a complement. Differential techniques that are commonly learned by many people are usually attacking and defending techniques. A martial technique using inner calm energy could only be used if the person had already reached the Qi Gathering realm.

It did not feel like a week had passed and Zhang Yuan finally opened his eyes. For a moment he began to feel an enormous surge of black energy spreading throughout his body. Then Zhang Yuan stood up and tried his fists on the boulder, looking as if his fists left holes and cracks on the stone. Zhang Yuan laughed with satisfaction. Now he had been at the 3rd layer Body Formation Stage.

Although the body he occupied was only the body of an orphan, but this body was truly talented in terms of cultivation. If only Zhang Yuan had a lot of resources, it would not be impossible to break through the Spiritual Stage in less than 10 years. Thanks to this, Zhang Yuan began to plan his future to develop his strength.

While cultivating, Zhang Yuan also spread the Qi flow throughout his body, as well as adjusting his body so that the Qi could be accompanied as well in his Magic. This was an impossible matter for the people of this world, but not with Zhang Yuan who had extraordinary experience and understanding of his past life.
