In the middle of a luxurious patio, surrounded by plants and flowers of doubtful antiquity, a 3-year-old boy was playing with them.
At a certain distance from the boy and without his knowing it was a young man, who, seeing the boy's behavior, snorted in disgust.
"Those plants and flowers he plays with are over 5000 years old, if people in the lower realms and even in the most isolated regions of Kunlun saw what you do, they would surely spit blood in disgust, for them these herbs and flowers would be considered elixirs that would trigger their cultivation, but here you just carelessly rip them off and play with them, really a waste of the elixirs of heaven and earth."
The young man who saw the scene from a distance with some disgust, apparently remembered something that brought him to reality and quickly changed the way he saw the child.
"Hmph, you were lucky to be the son of one of the elders of the family, otherwise, in your situation, you would have already been discarded to feed the dogs."
"Although sooner or later you will end up like this, after all, for garbage that cannot contribute anything to the family, no matter how much support you have, without talent you are nothing."
Gloating over the misfortune that befell the boy, the young man only looked at him with disdain before resuming his boring mission of keeping an eye on him.
Meanwhile, the boy apparently got tired of playing with the plants in the yard and decided to enter the house, which would be more accurate to call it a mansion, the boy went straight to the bathtub to wash, put his dirty clothes aside, He quickly washed, put clean clothes in his room, and decided to go to sleep.
When the young man saw this, he only reaffirmed his thoughts, until now, he had been watching him for almost 2 years, and if it were not for the large reward and for the fact that it was a "mission", entrusted by that person, he would never have accepted this task.
At first the young man flatly refused, as he thought that he would have to babysit and take care of a 2-year-old boy, which for him who cared more about advancing further in his cultivation and as one of the most promising geniuses in the world. family, caring for a child indefinitely would certainly stagnate it and delay its cultivation.
But upon hearing the reward of the mission, the young man no longer refused, but on the contrary, he quickly offered himself for the task, the reward would help him a lot in his cultivation, in addition to that the place to which they would take the child had a concentration greater of spiritual qi than that of his residence.
"Now that I fall for it, and although it is difficult to accept it, the child is quite precocious, he learned to walk and be independent after a year and a half according to what they told me, and by the time they brought us to this place, he already knew how to read and write"
Thinking about it, the young man just snorted.
"Well, no matter how precocious you are, without talent or strength in this place you are nothing, plus I doubt the family will keep trash for so long, even if your parents are big shots in the family."
Upon reaching that conclusion, the young man observed the child for a moment, realizing that he was asleep, he simply retired to his resting place, outside the mansion, without worrying about the safety of the child inside him.
Meanwhile inside the mansion the boy apparently was still asleep, it was not until 1 hour after that the boy opened his eyes and began to stretch, quickly inspected his room and then slowly went to the mansion library.
"Phew, having to wait an hour to make sure no one is watching me is pretty tough, but hey, it's time to start reading daily."
The library was at the other end of the mansion, although it would not be considered a long distance for a normal person and less for a cultivator, for a 3 year old it still results in a considerable way.
"Although now that I think about it, I will be my fourth year in this 'world' soon, the things I have learned are numerous and I still have a lot to learn, I suppose I will have to go step by step"
Thinking up to this point, the boy smiled, and could not help but remember the events that led him to this fantastic place, although many of these memories were sealed, (apparently he sealed them himself), the general panorama was still available for him to reflect on. it.
"Even now I can't believe that after spending penance in that strange place, my soul would end up in one of the 7 forbidden zones of Kunlun, which then apparently" something "prevented my soul from breaking and led me to "someone""
"Seriously, me from the past, was it necessary to seal those memories? * sigh *, above for the icing on the cake they said that to prevent my soul from fragmenting and therefore dispersing, I had to help save a newborn baby, who was apparently the "son" of that "someone", in addition to the fact that that "someone" was a woman "
"But after these 3 years that I have spent researching and thinking about it, the body that I have now is, apparently, the son of the successor of the Aegis family, one of the 3 great families that rule the northern area of Kunlun, in addition to being considered the family with the strongest bloodline power in Kunlun, so if we follow that line of thought, that "someone" would have to be said successor, but I am completely sure that is not the case "
"Although the most tragic thing about this is perhaps the fact that the deal and conversation that my past self and that 'someone' had are completely sealed, in other words, I don't remember anything about it other than the fact that it existed."
"And also apparently I agreed, otherwise I would not be here, although that newborn baby had it even worse than me, since she practically died because of a silly prophecy"
Sighing for it, the child with the information that he gathered in recent years along with what he heard in the first months of "born", basically the events that led the poor baby to that sad result began like this:
About 100 years before he was born, one of the ancient versed in the arts of clairvoyance had a vision upon which an ominous star would be born in the northern area of Kunlun and it would shake the foundations of the entire current era leading to baths of blood and the fall of innumerable lower realms, but also bringing the opportunity to enter the "higher realm" of cultivation that no one in 100,000 years has been able to cross.
This greatly alarmed all the kingdoms, especially the major powers in Kunlun, whose supremacy was already established, as the ancient who prophesied about it was one of the most mysterious and powerful in all of Kunlun, so all eyes were pointing to the northern area of Kunlun.
Due to this, many powers approached the 3 great families with the intention of letting them know about it and that they would take the respective appropriate measures, although the real reason was to secretly monitor each other on any change in the situation, even if they still lacked. 1000 years, preparations for such a prophecy were necessary.

Due to this, many powers approached the 3 great families with the intention of letting them know about it and that they would take the respective appropriate measures, although the real reason was to secretly monitor each other about any change in the situation, even if they were still missing 1000 years, preparations for such a prophecy were necessary.
Thus time passed, and as prophesied, countless mysterious phenomena manifested throughout Kunlun, even the lower realms were not exempt from it, the cry of dragons and phoenixes were heard even in the central region, rain of blood in other areas , the fortunes of countless families throughout Kunlun and lower realms began to falter, forcing many ancients from different families, clans, and sects throughout Kunlun to head to the northern area and locate the child of prophecy, each with different motives in mind.
Many clairvoyants from different families from all over Kunlun started using different methods to locate the boy, but in the entire northern area, the only ones with an indecipherable fate, who caused backlash in them by using their secret techniques, were 2 children, a boy and a girl to be exact, of which the boy was from the Aegis family, while the girl was from a minor family from the north. Faced with this unexpected turn of fate, many ancients were left speechless and not knowing how to act, so they decided to first reunite the 2 children in the Aegis family, and then discuss how to proceed.
But before anyone even came up with a solution to this mockery of fate, a mysterious person appeared, taking even all the ancients in the place by surprise, used an arcane art and took the child's bloodline power, and finally he decided to launch a soul attack on the poor defenseless child, of which those present quickly acted and prevented him from further damaging the child, unfortunately a small part of the attack still managed to hit him, leaving him on the brink of life and death.
While some decided to hunt down the attacker, others stayed with the intention of helping the little one, but to their frustration, the little one's soul was very fragmented, even for the best alchemists and doctors in Kunlun, the little one's state left them defenseless, what they could do was keep the child in a vegetable state and wait for its fragments not to disperse and with time and the use of pills to nourish and strengthen the soul, his soul is reformed and returned to normal.
As for their bloodline, the Aegis family was not worried about the theft of it, they had the knowledge of more than 10 000 years, obviously there were already cases of this type of incident so their countermeasures were infallible, which if saddened the family was the fact that the young man's bloodline was very pure, with a potential that greatly surpassed the current head of the family, so his future would be incredible, unfortunately losing his bloodline also meant that his future he was ruined, since in the Aegis family, innate talent is determined by the purity of his bloodline, so it was obvious why many ancients yearned for the boy.
In addition, they also interpreted the reason for their indecipherable destiny, a tragedy as great as that would change the destiny of anyone, from being a dragon that soared into the skies, to a simple ant that no one would notice and trample mercilessly.
And unfortunately for the little boy, they did not manage to capture their attacker, who apparently had already planned the attack for a long time, the Aegis family continued with the search for him, but without apparent results, he had to swallow that bitter fruit.
In the end, they all agreed to leave the boy alone, who for them was garbage, and they concentrated on the girl, a girl who, although she did not have the exceptional talent of the boy, only for the fact that she had an indecipherable destiny and that like the boy It could not be the one from the prophecy, that only left her, excited by it, many families, clans and sects began to argue about who would take her.
In the end, she was taken by a family that had 3 old men in it and they exerted pressure on the others, culminating this dilemma, although if the rest of the families would leave things just like that, that was not known.
"Too bad I was only able to gather this, not to mention that the ancients are the pinnacle of current cultivation, that a masked man just sneaked in like that is suspicious, that and that he went right to me, who at the time was not mentioned, but he is the son of the daughter of an ancient, matriarch of the family, * sigh * Anyway, there are undercurrents everywhere, so as long as they think I'm worthless, I'll be safe "
"Besides the fact that they believe that without my bloodline I pose no risk, this thought must still remain so."
Thinking about this and remembering what his past me left as a message, the boy only smiled, although on his face the smile he showed was a mocking one, as if laughing at all those who had that thought.
