The world of Azura Claw was divided into two distinct realms: the mortal realm and the immortal realm. Mortals could only cultivate up to a certain level, while immortals were beings who had attained immortality through their cultivation and ascended.
In the mortal realm, there were nine cultivation realms, each corresponding to a different level of cultivation. The first realm was the Mortal Initiate Realm, followed by the Mortal Foundation Realm, Mortal Core Realm, Mortal Nascent Realm, Mortal Divinity Realm, Mortal Emperor Realm, and finally, the Mortal God Realm.
Beyond the Mortal God Realm was the immortal realm, where immortals could continue to cultivate and ascend to even greater heights of power. The lowest realm of the immortal realm was the Divine King Realm, followed by the Divine Emperor Realm, Divine Sage Realm, Divine Lord Realm, and finally, the Divine Sovereign Realm, the highest cultivation realm in Azura Claw.

In the world of Azura Claw, the Long Family was a powerful and prosperous dynasty that ruled over the west content.
The Long Family's legacy could be traced back thousands of years to a mortal kingdom ruled by mortal God Realm experts. Through their extraordinary cultivation talents and exceptional leadership skills, the Long family had risen to become one of the most powerful families in the mortal world. They had conquered numerous kingdoms, and their empire spanned across vast territories.
As the Long Family continued to expand their empire, they came into contact with the immortal world, where beings of immense power and longevity resided. At first, the Long Family was in awe of the immortals and their incredible abilities. They soon realized, however, that their own cultivation talents were no match for those of the immortals.
Determined to surpass the immortals, the Long Family continued to cultivate and push the boundaries of what was possible. They invented new techniques and cultivation methods, and their efforts were rewarded as they gradually rose through the cultivation realms.
Eventually, the Long Family became a Level 5 Immortal Empire, ruling over all the kingdoms in the mortal world, as well as several Level 1 to Level 4 Immortal Kingdoms. There were only five Level 5 Immortal Empires in the world of Azura Claw, and the Long Family was one of them.
The Long Family's ascension to power was not without its challenges. They faced numerous threats and enemies, both from within and outside their empire. There were rival families and factions who resented their power and coveted their wealth, as well as powerful demons and evil spirits who sought to destroy them.
To counter these threats, the Long Family had developed a sophisticated system of cultivation and combat techniques. They had recruited the best warriors and cultivators from all over the world and trained them to become elite soldiers and commanders.
Despite their power and success, the Long Family remained humble and focused on their duty to their people. They knew that their success was not just a result of their own efforts, but also the result of the sacrifices and hard work of their ancestors.
The Long Family's legacy was a powerful one, and it inspired generations of cultivators and warriors to strive for greatness. Their empire had endured for thousands of years, and they were determined to continue to lead and protect their people for generations to come.
As the sun set on the Long Family's empire, the skies over their capital city turned a deep shade of purple, and the air crackled with energy. The people of the empire looked up in awe, for they knew that something special was happening.
............
As the sun set on that day, the skies over the imperial palace turned a deep shade of purple, and the air crackled with energy. The emperor and empress were in their chambers, surrounded by their closest advisors and servants, eagerly awaiting the birth of their children.
Suddenly, there was a blinding flash of light, and a shockwave rippled through the room. The empress cried out in pain, and the emperor's heart skipped a beat. "What is happening? Is everything all right?" he asked anxiously.
One of the midwives rushed over to him. "Your Majesty, the twins are coming! It's a difficult birth, but we're doing everything we can to help."
The emperor took a deep breath and clasped his wife's hand. "Don't worry, my love. Everything will be fine."
As the hours passed, the palace was filled with the sounds of labor pains and the frantic movements of the servants and midwives. Outside, the people of the empire had gathered, eagerly waiting for news of the birth.
Suddenly, there was a deafening roar, and a bolt of lightning struck the palace roof. The entire building shook, and a brilliant aura spread outwards, illuminating the entire city.
The emperor and empress looked at each other in shock. "What was that? Is everything all right?" the emperor asked again.
The midwife smiled at him. "Your Majesty, it's a miracle! The twins have been born, and they've created a natural phenomenon!"
As the news spread, the people of the empire cheered and celebrated. The king and queen of their empire sent gifts to congratulate the emperor and empress on the birth of their sons.
The skies above the imperial palace were bathed in a dazzling array of colors as twin boys were born to the emperor and empress of the Long family. The air was charged with excitement and joy, for the birth of twins was a rare and auspicious event, especially in the royal family.
The emperor and empress were grateful, but it was the arrival of a gift from their grandfather in the divine world that truly amazed them. Through a teleportation circle that materialized in the imperial court, a wooden chest was delivered, glowing with divine energy.
The chest contained a pair of silver bracelets, intricately engraved with ancient symbols and imbued with the power of space and time. The emperor and empress gasped in awe, knowing that these were powerful cultivation artifacts that would aid their sons in their cultivation journey.
As news of the twins' birth continued to spread, the people of the Long Empire were filled with joy and celebration. In the capital city of Azure Claw, the streets were alive with music, dancing, and feasting. Merchants offered discounts, and artisans sold their wares at a reduced price, all to commemorate the auspicious occasion.
But among the joyous revelers, there were whispers of concern. For the twins were not ordinary children. They were born with a special cultivation talent.
Many feared that the twins' talents would attract unwanted attention, envy, and even hostility from those who sought to exploit their powers for their own gain. But the emperor and empress were not worried, for they knew that their sons would be protected by the family's legacy and their grandfather's influence in the divine world.
As the royal physicians cleaned and swaddled the newborn twins, the emperor and empress were left in awe of the natural phenomenon that occurred during their birth. They had heard of similar occurrences happening in the past, but it was rare for both twins to possess such immense energy and power.
"Truly remarkable," the emperor whispered to his wife, still staring at the small bundles in the arms of the physicians.
"Yes, my love," the empress agreed, "they are truly a blessing from the heavens."
Suddenly, the doors to the chamber burst open, and the king and queens from the neighboring kingdoms rushed in with gifts in hand. The emperor and empress exchanged glances and rose to greet them.
"Congratulations on the birth of your sons!" the queen of the northern kingdom exclaimed, handing over a beautifully crafted sword.
"We offer this as a symbol of our loyalty and support to your family," the king of the southern kingdom added, presenting a jeweled crown.
One by one, the other rulers of the Long Empire presented their gifts, each expressing their admiration and respect for the emperor and empress. The royal couple graciously accepted each gift and thanked their subjects.
As the festivities continued, a group of advisors and ministers whispered amongst themselves, discussing the future of the empire and the potential for the newborn twins to become great leaders.
"Such powerful energy emanating from their birth," one advisor noted, "perhaps they possess innate cultivation talent."
"Indeed," another agreed, "and with their family's resources and connections, they could become formidable cultivators and bring even greater prosperity to the Long Empire."
Meanwhile, in the Divine World, the twins' grandfather observed their birth through a scrying crystal. He smiled, remembering the day he first ascended and left the mortal world behind. But seeing the joy on his son's face as he held his grandchildren, the old man felt a pang of longing.
Back in the mortal world, the subjects of the Long Empire celebrated the birth of the twins, setting off fireworks and lighting lanterns. The news of the twins' birth quickly spread beyond the borders of the empire and reached the far corners of the Azura Claw world. People whispered about the natural phenomenon and the potential power of the twins.
The emperor and empress came down from the place to show the twin to the subjects. After that they return to the palace, and the emperor and empress retired to their private chambers with their newborn sons. The empress couldn't help but feel a sense of unease as she watched over her sleeping children. She had heard whispers among the courtiers and advisors of the potential danger the twins could pose if their power were to be misused.
