Shenjing Forest
A man dressed in exquisite black robe with an embroidered dragon soaring from the bottom hem, was reclining lazily atop a parasol tree with his eyes closed. His impeccably handsome face appeared serene. One could see his unrivaled beauty with high nose, sharp jaw, light phoenix-like eyes, and his slightly arc thin lips blossoming in dark red color. As the wind howled, it carried his long dark as ink hair and it scattered loosely in a beautiful way. His charm was simply demonic.
The grumble of the rapid thunderclaps didn't manage to disturb him. He just continued to lie there as if he was out of this world and these small worldly problems were none of his business. Such arrogance, yet it was domineering and at the same time, full of noble aura. It only emphasized his devilish charm that was just impossible to ignore. This scene was indeed a feast to the eyes. This was where we say, "God was not fair." He seemed to have spent more time in creating this man to be his masterpiece.
At this moment, the man slowly opened his eyes. That pair of black eyes that were like a bottomless abyss, locked on the bloody red sky. And somehow, he was instantly hooked. An indiscernible feeling swamped his heart.
All of the sudden an enormous seal with ancient writings on it and ten striking black symbols decorating the inner circle, appeared on the sky. His thin lips curved into a demonically charming smile, like a scarlet petals of amaryllis, and his eyes brimmed with overflowing interest. He had been too bored. It had been too peaceful!
He supported his head with his hand while he continued to watch as the huge black lightning bolt crashed the seal and landed on the ground. When it exploded, he simply leaned back on the tree and closed his eyes, letting the bright white light wrapped his body whole.

Ice Frost Village
It was disastrous! Huang Li Wei and Huang Mei Lin were trying to protect themselves from the oppressive aura while maintaining the Magic Screen. Even with the barrier, they could still feel the intimidation from the power, suppressing them as if they were ants. It was not supposed to be that unbearable for experts on their level, however, the enormous seal on the sky was attracting all the spiritual energy to it and it became the center of energy concentration. No one noticed it because of its size, but the seal was, in fact, right above their head.
When the huge black lightning bolt appeared and collided with the seal, it absorbed all the energy which the seal had gathered, before diving towards their direction at a lightning speed.
Li Wei's face became pale when he witnessed the event. Without saying anything, he carried Mei Lin and ran away using his qinggong. Despite that, Mei Lin kept the Magic Screen active, she even strengthening it.
"Release it, Lin!" Li Wei shouted in panic.
Mei Lin grabbed his collar and said to him grimly, "No! They'll die." She pointed at the village. "We don't run away from this."
Before she even finished, the black lightning bolt crashed into her Magic Screen in full force. She spurt out a lot of blood and her face immediately became as pale as a white sheet. Her body sank weakly in Li Wei's arm. However, it was not the end, the black lightning bolt exploded!
Li Wei ducked down and trapped Mei Lin within his embrace while he cast a Magic Barrier. Though a second after he cast the spell, the Magic Barrier was instantly broken as a brilliant light swapped the whole land and smashed the barrier in the process. Li Wei was thrown far away with Mei Lin still in his arms. They slammed to the ground seven *li from the Eternal Spring.
(Note: *li - a traditional Chinese unit of distance)
Li Wei coughed out a lot of blood before his vision blurred and he blacked out. While Mei Lin had long fainted, blood trickled down from the edge of her lips. They both lied close to each other as the light enveloped them in its high intensity.

Eternal Spring
The spring was currently harboring a ball of light. The water inside it had just calmed down as it slowly swayed and moved towards the ball as though being pulled by a magnetic field. The faint colorful light of the spring became brighter, coiling around the ball of light.
Right now, the ball was expanding and shrinking rapidly, it was pulsating like a heartbeat, while absorbing the spiritual power inside the Eternal Spring and its surrounding. Then, suddenly, a dark mist emerged from inside it. It leaked out from the center of the light and started filling the ball. From within the darkness, slowly a pair of hands were formed. Like an artist crafting its masterpiece, a pair of slender snow white hands with delicate fingers were beautifully sculptured.
The dark mist continued to swirl madly and step by step, a body was molded. A svelte figure with gentle curves, small waist and long legs, a soft and tender skin, white as a porcelain. Swan-like neck and finally a palm-sized face was revealed. The person was floating inside the ball of light amidst the swirling black mist, it was an undeniably stunning individual. Even with the slightly upturned almond eyes still closed, that person could easily captivate those who laid their eyes upon her.
Yes, it was a young girl around 13 to 14 years old. Despite her slightly petite body, she was an exceptional beauty that could cause a war between men and the downfall of a kingdom. Such allure that was almost sinful to have. Yet, it was still not ripe. This little girl was still maturing.
When the young girl had been completed, the dark mist stopped swirling madly and softly floated around her before vanishing into her body. Then the ball of light began shrinking and finally disappeared into her body as well. With that, the young girl was unleashed into the water. She created a huge splash when her body dived in.
After that, the surrounding became silent. The whole land had been thrown into a big mess just a moment ago. The people were still recovering and some were still unconscious, that include Li Wei and Mei Lin. The couple was yet awakened. At this moment, a dark mist drifted out from the bottom of the Eternal Spring. It condensed into the shape of two tentacles and advanced towards the couple. However, it halt its movement at a pool of blood near their bodies. At first, it was still moving around in confusion between the blood and the couple, when all of the sudden, it moved down and somehow began drinking the blood. It was not consuming it for its own but it was transferring it to the young girl lying inside the Eternal Spring. Shortly ...
Thump! ....Thump! ...BA-THUMP!
With the blood essence the tentacles had obtained, the young girl's body began functioning. A steady heartbeat could finally be detected from her. Her veins activated and started circulating the blood throughout her body. While she was regenerating, the spiritual power which the ball of light had accumulated started moving inside her dantian. The dark mist could also be seen fusing with the spiritual power and adjusting it to flow smoothly within the young girl's body.
Almost half an hour had passed when suddenly, a snow white hand grabbed the edge of the spring. Then, a gorgeous young girl emerged from the water and climbed out from the spring. When she came out, her long black hair fell elegantly just below her hip, covering her bare back. Despite being wet, her hair looked very smooth and luminous under the sunlight.
The young girl was now heaving heavily as her body was lacking oxygen. She patted her chest trying to ease herself. When she could finally catch her breath, her long eyelashes trembled and she opened her eyes. A snowy scenery was reflected in her sapphire eyes.
She blinked twice, then she titled her head. She appeared to be confused. After a while, she stood up and looked around. It was still the same. Everywhere was white with snow piling up. She looked ahead and saw two bodies lying in the distant, and far ahead, more bodies were lying on the snow. She frowned. When she was about to take a step forward, it was then that she realized something was not quite right.
She looked down and her eyes widened in shock. Oh shit, I'm naked!
