Law Of Creation

[Is this really Green Mountain that I climbed a few months ago?] Mingyue was surprised by what she saw currently.

[I didn't expect that the Green Mountain was this wide. It was not very big, but around three times bigger than my calculation. The place that I explored last time was only the mountain area. There are also plains and thick forest area. Why did you have to attach mountain to Green Mountain? Just call it Green Plains or Green Forest would be enough.]

[Time limit for this exam is three days. Our main mission was collecting three tokens from three different areas. Mountain area, plains area, and forest area. And similar to last time, we were scattered around three areas.]

[Well, rather than collecting three tokens, it was more like upgrading my blank token with three tokens.]

[The possibility for us to meet each other was very small. Well, I couldn't afford to gamble on a possibility, I would need a hiding place. And forest area was not a bad choice.]

"Xiao Jing, come out." Mingyue send telepathy to this lazy cat while opening her collar a little. If your eyes were sharp enough, you could see a tattoo on my left collarbone. A silhouette of curling cat tattoo. Yes, this was Mingyue's Spirit Brand. After Mingyue called Xiao Jing, a shadow flew out of Mingyue's Spirit Brand from the tattoo on Mingyue's left collarbone.

"No one is here?" Xiao Jing asked Mingyue while looking around the forest.

"Un. Time to hunt some food, as well to test your current skills." Mingyue showed her smile at Xiao Jing.

After Xiao Jing came out of Mingyue's Spirit Brand, the Spirit Brand on her collarbone was disappeared. This was one of the advantages of Mingyue's familiar, Xiao Jing. Xiao Jing could return to Mingyue's body and became the Spirit Brand's mark.

[It was handy when I couldn't bring Xiao Jing to a certain place. Obviously, I didn't want to leave her, so I just brought her anywhere anytime like this.]

". . . Didn't you just pack your food earlier?" Xiao Jing was surprised by Mingyue's order.

"Nah, those girls threw out most of my foods." Mingyue pouted as she remembered the food she prepared before.

[Familiar didn't need food, maybe because their body was made of Elemental and a part of my Immortal Soul. But this kitten was a gourmet like me. So this was right for me to ask her to hunt some game as the fee.]

". . .Fine." Xiao Jing gave up and turned her body.

[Humph. Did you think I could hunt those animals alone? Of course, I couldn't, don't ask that question. I didn't cultivate at all, you know? And don't ask my delicate body.] Mingyue rolled her eyes at Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing used Shadow Step as she jumped around the trees. Shadow step was one of the Nine World Celestial Step. It was a versatile movement technique that I created. There are nine movement techniques with 'step' as their name, like Shadow Step.

This movement technique was divided into three tiers, human-tier, earth-tier, and heaven-tier. Each tier has three movement techniques. The upside of this technique was, you could choose to cultivate a few certain movement techniques and disregarded others. And the downside was, if you only learn the Heaven-tier movement technique, you would need a very long time to cultivate this technique. Of course when the user is cultivating everything in the Nine World Celestial Step, the result will be the best. And Mingyue in her previous life had cultivated the whole Nine World Celestial Step.

The Shadow Step that Xiao Jing used was a Human-tier movement technique. It was used to move around the blind spot.

[Eh? You asked me whether I could do it or not? Nah, don't bother, I said I didn't cultivate anymore, right?]

There is a big reason why Mingyue couldn't cultivate it even if she wanted to. Different from that world, this world is devoid of any spiritual qi. There is only Law of the World, aka spirit. Human can draw a part of a spirit that was called Elemental. This Elemental is too tyrannical, because human body couldn't handle it for a prolonged time. Very unsuitable. But it was different with Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing's body was fundamentally born from Mingyue's Immortal Soul and Elemental from spirit. And from Mingyue's conjecture, Xiao Jing should be able to circulate the Elemental in her own body like a cultivator circulated his own qi.

And yes, it works. Xiao Jing could cultivate Mingyue's modified movement technique.

Since Mingyue didn't want to bother Xiao Jing's hunting, Mingyue just walked at her own pace.

[Don't worry, I still could see her whereabouts.] Mingyue chuckled as she walked leisurely in the middle of woods.

[Ah, why don't I just tell her to find some hidden place?] Mingyue muttered with a low voice.

…

[Un. This cave should be a good place.] Mingyue smiled while checking the hidden place that was found by Xiao Jing. After Xiao Jing returned with a few games, Mingyue told her to find some hidden place. Of course Xiao Jing was sulking because of that, but what she could do?

"Make sure to dry the blood out, or else the meat wouldn't be delicious." Mingyue reminded Xiao Jing.

"Humph. What kind of owner are you? You even asked your pet, to dry the blood from the games." Xiao Jing snorted at Mingyue.

[Well, she was seriously sulking.]

"You also will eat those games right?" Mingyue narrowed her eyes. "Even though you didn't need to eat, I still had to share my foods." Mingyue muttered with a soft voice, but loud enough to be heard by Xiao Jing.

Seeing Xiao Jing silence, Mingyue accept it as Xiao Jing's approval as she went to the inside of the cave.

[Since the Graduation Exam's time limit was only 3 days, I had to finish my second Spirit Brand in less than 2 days.]

[That's right, I planned to have my second familiar here, in the middle of the exam. Thanks to my meddlesome roommates, I didn't have any time to create my second familiar. Well, I could slip away from them, but I didn't feel good about it. That's why I planned to create my second familiar in the middle of Graduation Exam.]

[Unlike last time, I had enough preparation. The second Spirit Brand was located on my right t.h.i.g.h. No need to ask, I wished to be able to ride my familiar. Xiao Jing was only a kitten, and she was my mascot.]

[After my careful observation, the position of Spirit Brand could be manipulated. But, only if it was the very first phase of Spirit Brand creation. As result, Xiao Jing's Spirit Brand was still located at my left collarbone.]

[I had to make this familiar be my ride. My cool and elegant familiar. It would be weird if I had to ride something scary or disgusting looks, right?]

[Let's wish that nothing bad will happen.] Mingyue prayed as she sat in the corner of the cave.
