Heavenly Opposers

"So this is it, huh?"

Xiao spoke as he gazed at the humongous-looking building, beautifully built with a gentle yet dangerous blue light surrounding it. Right now, Xiao was standing in front of a building of the World Spirit Association. Xiao had finally decided to tread on the path of a World Spirit master, and the road was by no means going to be an easy one.

Right now, he's still within the All-Realm. He had chosen a realm with more humans and teleported to the association building present there. Xiao didn't have much information about the World Spirit masters, only that their use of energy is more mystique and beautiful. It's known that the spirit energy comes from the World Spirit Realm, an SSS+ ranked realm.

At the very top of the pyramid, not just anyone can enter that realm. There are strict qualifications to be fulfilled. Even then, the world spirit energy exists all around, it's just that its origin is the World Spirit Realm. There are different types of energy one could use, while Qi deals with defying fate, World Spirit energy focuses more on grasping realities and learning to wield them to one's will.

Right now, Xiao is at the peak of his realm. Trying to take in more Qi would just be useless. Of course, he has his way of circumventing the rules of the heavens. But for now, he would be giving more focus to the World Spirit energy. It's a path he hadn't walked before, hence it's going to be fun.

With determined steps, Xiao calmly started to walk into the building. There was no guard, just due to the simple reason that no one dares to mess with the Association. Its main branch begins from the World Spirit world, and the ending of those who went against them still chills those who live. Xiao easily walked inside as his eyes gazed upon the different individuals walking around.

All of them were wearing an iconic World Spirit master dress, a gentle blue robe with their badge of identity. As soon as Xiao entered, all eyes focused on him, his unique dress standing out. But nobody came to mess with him as everyone could see that he qualified as a World Spirit master. After all, one can only open the door to the building if one supplies a small amount of World Spirit energy.

Plus, Xiao was letting off a small amount himself. His eyes scanned the beautiful yet calming place as his eyes focused on the reception. Walking towards it, he calmly greeted the beautiful human woman.

"Hello."

"Yes, how may I help you?"

The woman's voice was enchanting, cooling down Xiao's nerves and his mental state. She had a professional smile on her face as she waited for him to talk.

"I would like to register as a World Spirit Master."

Xiao spoke, surprising the woman for a moment. But she soon regained herself as her hands flashed, displaying a screen in front of Xiao.

"For one to join the association, one must first be a World Spirit master."

She spoke the first requirement, and Xiao nodded his head, agreeing to a scan of his World Spirit core, to just understand if he was using any artifact to use World Spirit energy for a limited time. That was quickly done, and just as she did, she nodded her head with a much more relaxed smile.

"You have met the first requirement, and before you join, please read through the terms and conditions that are presented to you."

"Okay."

Hearing so, Xiao asked All-Seer to read through it and quickly tell him the important parts, and soon he had got the gist of everything. Within seconds, he used his soul mark to sign the documents, closing it in.

"I see, please give me a moment to confirm."

The woman spoke as her eyes kept flashing through the air. To a lower-realm individual, she will look lost and mad. But to the lucky ones born at the top, this would just be another normal everyday scene.

"Good, everything checks out. Then let's go through your talent testing."

The woman said, and just as she did, a man, looking to be about twenty, walked up to Xiao waving his hand.

"Fellow brother, this way."

Xiao nodded his head as he started to follow the man, soon taking him to a room with a single orb floating in the middle. Now, only Xiao and the man remained in the room. Xiao quickly understood what the orb was as soon as he saw it. He had already done some research before he came. The orb would be measuring his talents by displaying seven ranges of color:

Violet

Indigo

Blue

Green

Yellow

Orange

Red

With Violet being the lowest talent and Red being the highest, soon Xiao walked forward and placed his hands on the orb, which remained still for a moment before the color of Orange lit up. Seeing this, the man who brought Xiao here smiled, his eyes shining with an extreme amount of favor as he spoke.

"Congratulations, you have the talent to now shake the skies and the land."

"Thank you."

Xiao spoke with a neutral voice. Unlike what others would think, Violet is the lowest, indigo means average, and Blue is a genius. As for the ones above, well, they would only be found within the World Spirit Realm. That's the reason that the inhabitants of the World Spirit Realm look down on the World Spirit masters that don't belong to their realm.

Of course, rarely would people above the blue talent be found outside the World Spirt realm, and when they are, it would be a fight of death to take that single person as the disciple of the rest yet for DeathMark that won't be happening and that's what Xiao wants.

'Um.....this is better than I thought'

"May I ask what the brother's name is?"

The man questioned, to which Xiao spoke.

"DeathMark."

Hearing it, the man's eyes twitched, but he didn't speak out as he just did his duty, leading Xiao back to the woman who had already gotten all the information. She nodded at Xiao, and within seconds, everything was done, waving her hands a badge appeared in her hands as she passed it on to Xiao, who took it, gazing at it with interest.

"The information regarding everything else has been sent to you. If you have any further doubts, you can come here."

"Okay."

With those words, Xiao walked back as All-Seer explained to him all the advantages he was receiving. World Spirit masters were less in number, thus anyone joining them would always be seen as a boon. Xiao quickly entered inside the special site, which had different manuals and teachings, each available for a price.

But thankfully Xiao, as a first-time member, had the chance to take one book for free, and he guided his search to look for the book All-Seer had recommended. He finally reached it, but when Xiao read through the title, he couldn't help but have his eyes twitch in annoyance. How couldn't he? when the book is read,

<The Beginners Guide To World Spirit Master, Even An Idiot Can Learn!>

'You still pissed at me?'

Xiao asked.

[Nope, just don't like you.]

'Now I can say that the feeling is mutual.'

Xiao replied, but he still bought the book. Along with this, he's also entitled to one free class from a true World Spirit Master. It would seem that fun times lay ahead.

'People would think that everything would be turning upside down right now,'

Xiao mused as he felt himself being quite useless. One would imagine that after seeing such an unseen talent, one rarely seen within billions of the lives around, the whole of this branch would be scrambling to get Xiao on his good side, with several powerful masters making their run to take him as their disciple.

And happily yet sadly, that's what is happening, but it's being hidden under the guise of fights and things taking place all around. Xiao already placed a mark on him when he joined the Cosmic Fighter Association, with his bone age below 100 and that level of cultivation being at the Saint Supreme Realm.

All this time Xiao is sure that those powerful organizations at the association must have been searching and looking after him, trying to get information about his past, about the kid that suddenly popped with such rarely seen power while being completely unaffiliated with any power.

Till now, they must be searching, trying to find any of Xiao's current identities' history – who he is, where he is staying, what his past is, and more. Yet they must have all come up empty-handed, which points to the fact that his identity DarthMark is new to All-Realm. This again points to a story of someone who climbed from the bottom to a top realm to finally get a Dweller node.

And the prospect of DarthMark being unaffiliated with any power means a great genius has arrived to now shake the balance held within all the factions of the Cosmic Fighter Association. Now, when Xiao showed his talent for World Spirit energy, it directly went into the eyes of those powerful people.

Due to the simple reason that they have been keeping an eye on him all this time, and they were surely keeping their eyes on him when he entered inside this place. They must have paid off the guy in question to keep everything in secret until all the factions come to a decision on what must be done to Xiao.

Normally, by now, Xiao should be swarming with all the members of the branch and even get contacted by the main branch. Yet, right now, not a single peep, due to the very reason that this branch is already being run by one of the faction members fighting within the Cosmic Fighter Association.

That's the main reason that Xiao even came here; otherwise, he would have directly gone to the main branch. It's costly to get there, but with All-Seer with him, it would have been an easy journey. The only reason Xiao even came here is to raise his value and get the message out to all the factions watching that his worth has just tripled.

Xiao already knew that his talent would be very high, due to the very reason that he was reborn with the fire of the phoenix. That washed away most of the things that he was born with, making him a top-tier genius on the cosmic level, both in the speed of his cultivation, comprehension, and more.

Xiao was double sure when he had found out that his mind realm had increased by a bunch even at his base, pushing his talents within the mind realm. Thus, the current Xiao is a genius of the cosmos in all realms of the times.

'A little more pushing to do...'

Xiao knows that he's being followed currently, eyes seemingly always on him when he appears in All-Realm. Soon, one of the factions will make contact, and that's when he will strike, for using infighting to get what he wants is how Xiao thrived in the past. Just this time, he would be doing it with the great powers of the cosmos.
