The Land of Dijin was immeasurable in the world of Thanos, the only Land with six clans together as souls attached to one body for a reform transformation, joining forces to recurit peace and unity to the world; fighting aganist corruption and evil practices.
The six clans are believed to be six demi gods who are said to be brothers, they descended on the planet to breed people thereby creating strong alliances together and almost a country around the mountains and valleys. It's vast domain reached the meadows, gardens, waterfalls and calls of nature around the west, joining them all together by birth and blood.
Those who joined the Land by marriage never wanted to depart because Dijin was classified as second heaven with powerful and mighty clans of cultivation.
The land of Dijin were also known for their high cultivation and high discipline and self control, no wonder children of prominent men and nobles send their kids to Dijin to learn cultivation.
The land was also burdened with Rich and powerful resources such as the spring of Life suitated in the Qu clan ( we will talk about them later) the gracious amulet ( used for summoning the dead innocent soul back to life) and many more Left behind by their ancestors and concealed underground around the mountains that held the spring of Life.
The spell called The gate was located at the end side of the dancing garden,it was a very strong and powerful spell used to prevent enemies from swapping into the holy Land.
The dancing garden is a path leading to the Land of Dijin and it's vast powers are said to come from the beautifully strange flowers in it. The solid aura it emitted only tells you how divine and powerful it was..... it's flowers are also used as herbs, medicine and spices for one's weakened soul.
( We have talked alot about thunder clan, why don't we talk about fire clan the second in command in the Land of Dijin and the place where one of our favorite character was born.)
The fire clan was suitated miles away from the thunder clan and underground around the mountains, they were known for their Fire cultivation and use of fire to cleanse evil. With one glance, you could tell that they were good but powerful people who dominated and destroyed all Evildoers by the fire of their hands.
The red robes and garments they wore emits a cruel and lovely aura whenever they appear, thereby commanding an unusual respect around any enivronment they found themselves unlike the thunder clan whose presence bring Joy and happiness into the souls around them.
The fire clan's appearance only inflicts fear into the hearts of the outside sects and clans, making them feel guilty for sins they never committed. The clan surname unlike the thunder clan was SU or HUÔ, it was believed that the founder of the clan was second son and second brother to his father and brothers....he was said to be created from Fire which made all inhabitants and generations of the Fire clan dominate anything called fire.
If not for the dealings with Dijin, most outside clans would have tagged them evildoers with an imaginary tower filled with volcanoes and darkness but it is a huge fallacy!.
The fire clan were normal like other clans, having a broad daylight, stalls and shops in streets, beautiful coloured houses and courts, singing and dancing around the market, going fishing and hunting and more exciting offers which you can't clearly deny. They are happy people with happy lives.

Weng and his crew entered the buzzing fire clan with surprise looks on their pretty faces, their jaws dropped seeing the whole atmosphere flagging red up and down with happy chatterings and hearty discussion " This wasn't what I was expecting" Xhan sounded extremely in awe watching red paper laterns released in the air and clapping of kids who watched an elderly man form creatures with the fire from his hands " No wonder Force Huô is one happy soul" he kept saying as they hurled deeper in the streets of the fire clan.
" Four tassel for a white stone" an elderly man who sat besides a vegetable store announced,his red garments were a little shabby but very neat with his grey hair falling on his aged shoulder " Four Tassels for a white stone" he kept chanting to attract customers to his place.
" Master he sells our favorite wine in a cheap price" Xhan exclaimed with happiness as he rummaged around his scabbard bag to bring out money " Too costly" Weng groaned leaving Xhan with a dazed expression, how? Back at thunder clan were their favorite wine was rare,a bottle of tassel was sold for a white stone and Fire clan sells Four for a white stone! Did his master really bury his senses in thunder clan? He felt a warm hand on his shoulder " you should know by now that your master is disappointedly brainless" Mu Song said shaking his head feigning worry as he patted xhan's shoulders like a mother.
" I think you are right" Xhan nodded rubbing his jaw " He is dotty that I mistake him for a hen" Mu Song laughed at the words of Xhan , really? this master and disciple were something else " Just a hint of dotiness" he winked at Xhan with an OK sign before their eyes met the sulken Weng.
" What are you waiting for? get your asses here" he yelled from afar startling them " I think he is crazy" Xhan nodded like an old man giving Mu Song the vibes he wanted.
The restaurant they all entered was calm with only few voices heard, everywhere was filled with people on red garments and robes making the place colorful and beautiful " This Dijin is really something great" Xhan smiled into his master's ear before he was interrupted by the caretaker for the place.
" How may I help you?" he asked them with humility " Seems they aren't proud as I thought" Xhan thought scratching his hair in disbelief " We are travellers and we barged in here to have a good rest and nice meal" Weng grinned with his charm which captivated the caretaker " Over here please" he bowed showing them an empty space suitated at the window before he left to take orders from other customers.
" Have you heard of the new occurrance? " they over heard some inhabitants behind them say as soon as they sat down " What occurrence?" another asked with a picked interest " The farmlands has been attacked by an unknown force" the former replied as he gulped down his wine to gist the interested party ".
Xhan moved closer to his master who seemed undying interested in the sudden news,he pinched his master as if saying " do you understand what they are saying?" but Weng shook his head,he needed more news to understand and as if the gods answered his prayers; the former continued " A black ripple has been spotted in the wheat fields occasionally for like two days".
Two days? what caused it? " Ever since First childe of this clan came back from the mountain, alot of strange occurrences have been happening and do you call that concidence?" another one snorted crushing the fish in his soup. " Force's elder brother?" Xhan whispered to his master who sluggishly nodded tapping his fingers on the table " Jing Su left for the mountains to dedicate his youthful life and comes back all of a sudden.... hehe" another cried dropping his chopsticks in disgust.
Jing Su? Weng tried to recall where he had heard this name before " Second childe must be so unhappy again" another chipped in as if feeling the pain of the other, wait! Force doesn't have a good relationship with his elder brother... how pathetic! " Four bowls of noodles and tofu" Xhan said to the caretaker replacing his lost master " A gold" Zhou intervened dropping a shining gold on the table .
" Gold?" Weng asked still lost in the gossip world marvelling them all... wasn't this man absent minded? " Do you need anything?" the caretaker asked with so much happiness as he picked up the circular gold " Four bottles of white wine um..... it's called the tassle, two plates of cake and four plates of Rice" Xhan replied still looking at his master " Seems that someone likes nuts too" he concluded before averting his gaze at the caretaker.
"Ah brothers I will go and get your order, please stay put" the caretaker bowed feeling honoured before leaving to grab their orders.
" Do you know anything about this happening?" Mu Song was asked by Weng " No but I smell trouble" Mu Song replied waving the fan on himself like a King. He made his hair shorter and changed his robes to look like a commoner and to avoid unnecessary attention from people.
" WENG XING" Force's angelic voice alerted their gazes on him, He waved at at them like a child before running to the place they sat " Act like a childe for once" Weng hissed pulling him down to sit with them but not Force " you are now acting like Brother Xhou" he pouted " You did great, Great" He continued not giving Weng a break " you are super awesome, I heard you saved them" He smiled pointing at Zhou and Mu Song who slightly gave him a bow " Give yourself a break" Xhan scolded like he was older .
But Force didn't listen " I heard you are leaving Dijin" he whispered with a frown and it was at this point that the caretaker appeared, with the help of his servants he arranges their order on the round small table " Second childe" he suddenly bowed sighting Force " Ahah! how many times do I have to tell you all to stop showing much respect?" He scolded hitting his fan on the man's head " But....." " Shush.... what but? go go go" Force hissed shoving the man away with his fan.
" You seem close to the inhabitants" Weng smiled as he handed Force a bottle of wine " Me? hehe I just love conversing with them all like a family" he laughed cutely as he gulped down the wine " Second childe" The men behind him waved and he waved back with a God given smile amusing Both Xhan and Weng " Take anything you want, it's my treat" he announced making all of them to chorus " Thank you" before making their orders.
Ha! It looks like the caretaker was very lucky today as Force handed him a small bag filled with Golden coins, first it was gold now it's a bag filled with rare currency, only the nobles and men of prominence used this type of currency in this world and it is was highly rare, very rare after the spirit stones " if you like spend the money like a lunatic and don't come to me crying that you ran out of funds" Force hissed at the beaming caretaker " Childe, this alone can sustain me for five years" " Go" Force groaned as if tired of his chattering.
Looking at the conversations with the people, one will know that Force was a very easy-going and understanding noble trying to get everyone along, no wonder they acted so sorry for him when his elder brother came back all of a sudden. He was soft hearted unlike his cruel and heartless brother who everyone avoided like a poisonous venom " Why are you leaving Dijin all of a sudden?" his question was unexpected as they all thought that he has forgotten.
The question only brought up the pain that weng had buried and his face fell with gulit before he gave Force a bitter smile " It's nothing" he replied but Force wasn't an idiot to mention " You lie" he was upset already by the lies " You are leaving because you don't want to drag Xhou to your mess anymore" he revealed taking Weng aback .No wonder people loved him,he could tell you exactly what you are feeling,he understands you better than anyone else and finds himself in your shoes " Here" he gloomily said handing Weng a bag filled with coins " It can sustain you enough till we find you again" He weakly smiled at him as he grasped Weng's palms into his.
His beautiful eyes laid on the troubled Weng giving a sense of guilt " or you come back because Xhou told me that he will soon become a white cultivator" he whispered into Weng's ear making him dumbstruck. He wants to become a white cultivator? ( who are white cultivators?) " white cultivator?" Weng slowly stammered and Force nodded like a baby " It is between all of us" he grinned before hugging weng tight.
He imagined Xhou glaring at him with those blazing eyes and it made him giggle, he will miss both of them together, He will miss Xhou's Possessiveness and jealousy, He will miss Weng Xing's vibes but they all needed time and patience to reunite one more time " take care" he said his final goodbyes before hurrying out of the restaurant with tears.... poor Force.
