Against Heaven's Will

"Hey! Stop swinging with that spear! You are going to stab someone!"

When Liu Mei ascended to the Heaven Realm, she expected to witness beautiful scenery and meet powerful experts she could face but so far the reality was disappointing. 

"Shut up or I will stab you!" Liu Mei threatened as she pointed her shiny spear at the middle-aged man. Not only was she forced to wait in a big ass line to enter the city, but she was also surrounded by annoying people who complained constantly. 

It would be fine if they stopped once they saw the polished edge aimed at them but they had the audacity to dare her with a glare. "Come on, do it. You will be banned from the safe zones forever."

Liu Mei glared back at the man as he Spear shone with Qi but a tall man by her side stopped her. "Calm down. This is not what we came here for." 

"Ugh," Liu Mei grunted and stared daggers at the stranger. "You are lucky today."

She ignored him right after and peeked at the front of the queue. They were already nearing the gigantic wall of the Spirit Land Capital but it would still take them a few hours to reach the front gate. 

"Gosh, this queue is so long… I am bored," Liu Mei lamented after having her fun taken away. "Isn't this the capital? Can't they make this process more efficient?"

"It is the same thing everywhere," the buff man by her side replied casually. "Just wait. You won't be able to get any information if you start to kill people."

Liu Mei remembered her goal and finally settled down. She has been waiting for this moment for a while and finally grew strong enough to Ascend. It was time for her to finally meet him once again and show she was strong enough to stay by his side. 

"Wu Kong, do you think big bro is still in the Heaven Realm?" Liu Mei questioned curiously as she looked at the sky. "With his skills, he might have already Ascended further." 

"I think you are overestimating him," Wu Kong replied while scratching his head. "From what we gathered, it's not so easy to Ascend this fast. People take many years to reach the Celestial Stage." 

They have already been in the Heaven Realm for a few days and investigated their future cultivation Path. 

"Yeah, they do," Liu Mei nodded. "But none of them is like Big Bro. He doesn't even need a year to climb multiple stages." 

Just as she spoke, multiple strangers around them burst out laughing. 

"Haha, little girl, you must have drunk something strong to speak so much rubbish." the man from before commented sarcastically. "Advancing just one stage takes years and you are saying your big bro can Ascend to God Realm in one year? Hahaha, keep dreaming!" 

"Of course he can!" Liu Mei snapped back. "He only took less than four years to cultivate from nothing to a God Stage! I'm sure the moment he ascended to the Heaven Realm, he quickly made the name for himself. No one can compare to him!" 

Her words made everyone laugh again. "Haha, sure he did! We all know his name for sure! Enlighten us who is your big brother!" 

Liu Mei's face darkened and she struck the end of her black spear into the ground. 

"I'm Liu Mei, a member of the Liu Clan that rules the whole Earth Realm and my brother is Liu Xuefeng, the strongest Cultivator in the whole world!" 

"..."

"..."

"..."

The laughing stopped instantly and the people that ridiculed her paled in fear. 

"L-Liu… X-Xuefeng…?" The man's legs shivered as he repeated the name. 

Liu Mei wasn't even surprised at their reaction, knowing her big bro would cause chaos wherever he went. 

"That's right! Are you going to say you don't know his name? It wasn't even a year since he Ascended and only now did we catch up with him," Liu Mei announced proudly as she enjoyed the fear in their eyes. "When I meet him again I will tell him who was the one laughing at me." 

The people around swallowed hard while those uninvolved stepped back. If it turned out to be true, they were all screwed. Those who were left behind looked like they wanted to leave immediately when the man behind the whole problem fought back. 

"What's your proof then? Anyone can say they are related to them. Pretending to be Liu Xuefeng's sister is considered a crime!" 

"Why would I need to prove myself to you?" Liu Mei questioned with a sneer. "I don't care if you believe me or not. It will be apparent when I meet him. Get lost." 

"You… If you have no proof then I'm going to call the guards on y—" the man called out with a glare when Wu Kong finally stepped between them. His sheer size was often enough to intimidate people but the man wasn't scared at all. 

"What, are you going to beat me up? We are in the Safe Zone! I dare you to touch me. The guards will come over faster." 

In response, Wu Kong only stomped on the ground, causing their surroundings to shake. The earth cracked from the sheer force and everyone staggered in their footsteps. 

"Are you sure you can survive till then?" Wu Kong questioned coldly but the effect was completely the opposite. 

The man burst out laughing and rushed out while shouting, "Guards! Please help! We are being attacked!" 

Multiple guards appeared in the sky within seconds, causing Liu Mei to grip her spear tighter. This didn't look well for them but then she raised her eyebrows when the guards didn't even stare at them. They flew past them and headed towards the barrier instead. 

"Stop right there! Flying is forbidden in the Safe Zone!" 

Only then did Liu Mei notice a woman who just broke through the barrier as if it was nothing. What was more surprising is that she knew her. 

"It's Jiao!"
