The door slightly opened revealing Ning staggering in shutting the door behind him. He staggered again and fell on his bed still holding his head, he groaned loudly as the flash of memories came back again and again " Xhou" he cried out still struggling to let go of the flashes.... Xhou can't die,no he can't die. He groans again picking up his bottled water kept on the table to take his drugs " Xhou" he whispered one more time before falling asleep.
The next day in class was worst for Professor Ning since his unbearable pain last night, he tried to maintain his balance as he taught the students but it never worked for good. Besides, his body needed rest " Professor" the students cried as Ning fell unconsciously on the floor with his soul traveling back to his past world 50 years ago...
50 years ago
" Mama, mama" a little boy cried as he ran to his mom who came back from market,she was a fragile woman on black and red robes and a sword on her left tiny waist " my little Weng" she softly Said carrying him on her arms " you really do miss Mama, come let's go inside and await for the return of Pa" she said tapping his soft cheeks " mama" he pouted in happiness as they advanced towards a small cottage filled with flowers and ever green plants. Little Weng helped his mom to light up the candles while they awaited for the return of Pa " Mama, Pa isn't here yet" the impatient weng cried tugging unto his mother who caressed his hair " Don't be too sad little Weng, Pa will be here soon" she assured him giving him a heavenly caressing which led to his sleep not knowing he will wake up in misery that he might never forget forever.
He was awakened by the screams of his mom from the outside and voices of guards pinning her down, he wiped his eyes like a kid he was ,as he got up to see clearly through the window what was happening which will eventually break his heart " Weng Xing run,run far away and never return to sharata" he heard his Mom scream once he had opened the window, his heart got broken seeing his mom struggling vehemently with the guards pinning her down " Mama" he shouted with tears pouring down like a spring, he watched the men stab his Mom fifteen times to death but her last words were " Run, keep running my Weng" before she fell flat near her dead husband with a pool of blood surrounding them.
" Get the little lad" one of the guards ordered and that was how little Weng's life started in an endless journey as an outcast.

The land of Dijin were fruitful and blissful in all endeavors, you can clearly see the happy looks on the faces of all inhabitants. The blooming flowers, the sparky waters and blessful fruits all sang to the supreme for such a wonderful occasion. A little boy of ten on white robes walked into the market carrying his sword and his hand behind his back,his hair was long and had a golden pin attached to it which indicated him the holy prince of Dijin .
As earlier stated, the people of Dijin were made up of six major clans and the thunder clan has always been the ruler among all other clans in Dijin. The other clan had chiefs but the thunder clan which had the heavenly realm was Superior and one can identify the thunder clan by the white robes they all wear and their surname was Zao or Lèi ( used by those who are not nobles) The fire clan were known for the red robes they all put on and they were second in command, the water clan were known for their blue robes and garments, martial clan were known for their golden robes, the Shaba clan were known for their black robes and Awu clan known for their ever green robes.
Nevertheless, these clans all lived in so much peace and harmony envied by the outside world " Master" A young man trailing behind the prince called panting " the king doesn't want you to cross the market" he yelled pleadingly knowing the type of young prince he was guiding " suit yourself" the lad coldly said maintaining his straight face heading deeper inside the market. His attention was drawn towards a commotion at the end side of the market causing him to frown " What is going on ? This is my first time of seeing a commotion" he sternly said to his personal guard and teacher " let me check it out myself" he concluded not wanting to hear anymore from the young man " master" the guard called but it was too late .
" What is going on here?" the little prince asked like his father paving a huge way for silence to descend , his eyes peered at everyone before falling on a lad around his age bracket shivering in tears " he is from sharata, the world and clan where our fore fathers condemned that we mingle with" a fat lady chipped in and everyone agreed with her . Little Xhou tutted with disbelief " how did he manage to enter here? I thought our land was sealed by a powerful spell?" he asked sounding amused shutting all their mouths up before they dived into murmur " I was able to break through" the innocent crying lad stammered shocking them all " you did what?" Little Xhou asked with a cold expression but it didn't scare little Weng " yes I broke in" he innocently stated wiping his tears.
Who exactly was this kid? everyone thought inwardly because it was nearly impossible for the strongest cultivator to pass through talk more of a six year old lad or maybe the power of the spell was getting weaker after so many years of bidding " looks like he is in trouble" the personal guard whispered into the prince's ear " he must definitely be a spy" the same fat lady accused pointing at little Weng who rolled his eyes. His simple but daring action amused Xhou that he smiled inwardly at the kid's gut " I am not a spy ,I am weng Xing" he pouted in defense getting his admiration from Xhou who was four years older than him " bring him to my father" he ordered before walking away in his usual cold aura.

Little weng stood in front of all the elders assisting his Excellency with his head bowed and knees on the ground, the mobilization and organization of the powerful guards at each nook and corners of the mighty palace bulit with ice and diamond was strong,it was called the heavenly realm due it's sparkling at every night significantly showing the peace and extra tranquility in the land. And the king,Lord zao Excellency of the Dijin sat on his throne made of rare iron and wood with the powers of the supreme forefathers bestowed upon it, he quietly studied the little Weng before opening his mouth to utter " hmm, sharata clan the forbidden place of God" he started, tapping his fingers on his throne " the land where evil grow and harvest bountiful souls, a place where noone calls a home, a place cursed by it's own inhabitants ,just like how your brothers the kiribi clan has been wiped, the clan of sharata too must be wiped out..hmph! Sharata second in command in ruling dark magic ,over doers of evil and blood thirsty demons taah!" he exclaimed getting up in fury .
"How did you break through the infinite spell of our ancestors you evil born?" Lord zao yelled inflicting fear into weng " I ....I ...don't know" he stammered with his face covered with tears , why was the world wicked on him? he did nothing wrong " you don't know?" an elder asked fuming, their land has been polluted by this evil seed and cleansing most be done quickly " you evil child" .
Little Xhou clenched his fist as he watched little Weng sob and getting bullied, he was just a poor and homeless child seeking for help , why must they be cruel on in the name of holiness and discipline? " he is hungry" he chipped astounding everyone " Xhou" his father yelled making xhou to fall on his knees " I suggested and morever he is still six" Xhou said with a bow making his Father to fume uncontrollably.
What did this lad do to his brain that xhou of all people really cared about someone especially a stranger " Take him to the cave of life" Lord zao ordered pointing at little Weng who moved backwards in fear " Father" Xhou for the first after his mother's death sounded scared " Xhou to the disciplinary chamber!" he heard his father yell " yes father" he painfully replied with a bow before been escorted out by his personal guard and little Weng pulled out to be locked up in the cave of life for eternity.
Xhou halted from his steps to turn back to see how the innocent boy was being dragged out " he didn't harm anyone" he sneered clenching his fists tightly as he watched little Weng call unto his dead parents for help " let me go" he kept crying but the land of Dijin was brutal whenever it comes to evil and it's members " master, you only anger his Excellency" his personal guard sir JoJo meekly said with a bow " Anger? both of us are angry anyway" he hissed before walking down the stairs entering the disciplinary chamber.
