On a mountain in the Fleeting Cloud Sect
Within an ancient temple an elderly looking man was kowtowing towards a stone statue.
The stone statue was the image of a middle aged man with a big frame looking forward into the distance and his eyes were like a bottomless pit and his hands looked as rough as sand paper. The statue had the aura of profoundness and the feeling that made you want to bow to it.
In front of the elderly man laid an incense burning and the old man heard footsteps from the entrance.
At the entrance laid a bearded middle aged man.
"You may enter", the elder's voice echoes throughout the temple and the disciple entered as the elderly man stood up.
"The ancient records might be true elder Zhan, an ancient evil evil has awoken under these mountains."
The bearded man looked at the elder with an assuring face and one of confidence.
"That must be why i felt those unusual spiritual qi fluctuations. If the ancient records are true then if he somehow gains his strength back then the whole country, no the whole entire continent might be in trouble."
Elder Zhan looked at the bearded man and flicked his arm up and out of nowhere a black bird the size of an egg appeared in his hands. He then slapped a bag on his left waist and a piece of jade appeared. Elder Zhan then attached it to the bird and lowered his mouth to the bird and whispered into its ears. The bird then took off and flew off through the front entrance.
Elder Zhan focused his gaze back upon the bearded man, "Order all disciples on missions to immediately come back or they will be punished. Only people of Foundation establishent stage and higher are allowed to leave the sect. We must find him and kill him before he can collect his strength. If he even gets to foundation establishment he will become impossible to defeat by those of the same level. Order all foundation establishment disciples to immediately head out to find where it is. If they find it then immediately kill it but if it's too strong immediately call upon the nascent soul patriarch. Even if he's only qi condensation we must take no risk. There's no reason not to kill a rabbit with an axe. We must use everything to kill that monstrosity. I have just sent a letter to the other sects just in case, if we can't find him soon. " The elder looked towards the upcoming sunrise in the window
"Dark days will be ahead of us"
"I wonder what they are gonna think when they see me, especially my auntie."
Fan Huang eyes flickered in worried as he saw the village in the distance.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you. We're not actually going back to the village in the first place, we are just going to hang around it." Yao Yang revealed.
"What are you planning to do?"
Fan Huang knew something was fishy.
"We are going to kill everyone in the village and use their blood and souls to increase our strength." The ancient voice replied in a nonchalant voice like it was normal.
Fan Huang's eyes widened at this suggestion, he felt quite reluctant do follow with his plan.
"I thought you wouldn't hesitate agreeing with me? Have these people ever done anything for you? These people have ignored your abuse from your auntie, they do not care at all about your existence. They all knew you were abusing by your auntie too. They just wanted to watch you suffer. They are cruel people. Why shouldn't we kill them? If they dare slap you, pay them back by ten times and slap them 10 times, If they cut us we will cut them 100 times. Nothing is forgivable in the cultivator world. You are going to use this village as your stepping stone to become the strongest cultivator alive. The most precious thing is a man's pride and didgnity, If he loses those 2 things then he is no longer man. We are going to reclaim them both. Firstly, I am going to teach you how to cultivate." Yao Yang lectured.
Hearing this he was enlightened and came to a realization that he would not be toyed with anymore.
"Fan Huang do you know of a place where we can stay for now?" Yao Yang questioned him.
"Well i do know of one place"
"This is amazing! I can't believe there was an immortal cave nearby this village. This must have been here for at least 100 years!" Yao Yang spoke.
"I found this medallion when i was 9 years old and from then on this became my home away from home." Fan Huang said in an emotional tone.
Yao Yang could tell this place meant to alot to him from his tone.
"Before we get carried away I am going to teach you how to cultivate"
Fan Huang's eyes lit up as he sat down and diligently to Yao Yang's next words.
"In order to cultivate you must learn how to gather qi. it is what cultivators use to activate spells, fly, use techniques and many more. In order to gather qi you must follow specific breathing patterns and positions and chants to cultivate, this is the first step and it is called qi condensation. Without qi you are not a cultivator, you would just be a mere mortal. Now follow along what i say."
During the following days Fan Huang only cultivated, hunted and slept. Yao Yang was the only one doing the hunting. However he made sure to get as much food as possible in a short amount of time so he could delay the next time he went out to hunt. After 2 months Fan Huang finally got a breakthrough.
Fan Huang meditated in peace on the hard rock ground of the cave.
His teeth were gritted together and you could see veins popping out of his skin. He had been cultivating for 8 hours straight now and finally felt a feel near his abdomen. He could feel a turning sensation in his body as a sucking sensation occurred in his abdomen. His eyes lit up in shock at this event. He concentrated harder than ever on maintaining this feeling and before he knew it a small strand of blue qi appeared into his abdomen. You could then see tiny tears falling out of Fan Huang's eyes as he celebrated.
"Don't get too ahead of yourself kid. Peak geniuses and chosen only needed a couple of days to reach the 1st level of qi condensation. Plus you are in a spiritual qi rich area, This jug of water on the table enriches the qi around it making it easier to cultivate. If one of those chosen came here then they would only need a couple hours to condense qi." Yao Yang lectured Fan Huang. He didn't want to Fan Huang to celebrate over something this small.
Fan Huang stopped crying and tried his best to put back on a normal face as he listened to Yao Yang.
"Now that you have reached the first level of qi we can put our master plan of using this village as a stepping stone."
Fan Huang's face suddenly became darker when he heard that.
"Are you still hesitating on this matter. I'll give you 1 day to decide"
Fan Huang sat in thought that day thinking about the matter. The day felt ten times longer than any usual day he's lived. He knew that some people were innocent and some were guilty. He wanted to do it but there was this sense of guiltiness that would weigh him down if he did this. He knew this all. But despite all this he hated his auntie's guts. He hate the bullies, he hated all the adults in the village. None of them cared about him.
"I have made my decision."
"That's my boy", Yao Yang approved of Fan Huang's decision and their plan was set into action.
"For this plan we need to make preparations. We will need animal blood, Silver back wolf hair, blah blah blah blah bah"
Yao Yang went on of his list of materials and within a week all of the materials had been gathered. He stole from the village's houses, harvested herbs from the wild and collected animal parts and blood. The immortal cave would've smelt horrendous if it weren't for the aura the jug was giving off.
"Purple mint grass, 2 litres of animal blood, very good Fan Huang. Withi this we shall now put our plan into force."
A moment later Yao Yang had possessed his body and he collected the materials and picked up an ink brush and writ on a piece of parchment with elegance nonchalantly. His stroked were as thick as rushing rivers and has smooth and curvy as a snake.
After finishing this piece he then went on to 81 other pieces.
"These talismans are so perfect master", praised Fan Huang in a surprised voice.
After reaching the 1st level of qi condensation he now called Yao Yang master instead.
His master proceeded to get a tub of water and put multiple herbs within in it that all mixed together to create a murky green colored water that gave off a death aura.
"What's that for master?" questioned Fan Huang.
"It's for after the plan succeeds."
Fan Huang thought that Yao Yang was the most mysterious person he had met. He knew he was a demon but he could tell that this one didn't give off any bad intentions. Maybe he didn't want to harm him n actuality and just wanted to help him.
He had too many questions he wanted answered but he knew that his master will only tell him what is necessary.
"How strong was Yao Yang when he was a cultivator", he had this thought in his mind for a while and had once asked him about it but he gave a vague answer like "Strong enough to not worry about others."
This man has too many secrets.
