" Look our crops are turning black" an old woman exclaimed when she saw the potatoes planted filled with black mist, the wheats were dried up and all green plants began to fade.
* * * .....* * *
" Black!" Chief Su clan leader of Fire clan exclaimed hitting his palms on the table, he was much handsome than Lord Zao with thin eyes and curvy lips,he was elegant and slender with a deep aura surrounding him,he looks More like Force who got his beauty from his father " Chief Su, if nothing is done, there will be disastrous famine which might slowly spread around Dijin" An assisting Elder said with a salute but Chief Su groaned indifferently. His eyes were as confused as those present in his court .
"Who let evil in?" He yelled as his eyes flashed Fire which quenched in a minute,was it because Weng was expelled out of Dijin? No it can't be " We need the Qu sect to cleanse our land" another elder chipped in lightening the wary eyes of Chief, yes! why did he forget the white cultivators? " Our cultivation can't clean it up without leaving a Trace, our cleansing fire can destroy but can't totally cleanse so we indeed need the white cultivators".
" Will Great Elder Qing Qu step out to do the cleansing? " he suddenly asked trying to remind them that it was another tough work, they all stayed in silence reasoning the question because Great Elder Qing Qu was totally an introvert and only appears in the days of cultivation Lectures " Elder Tao won't be able to come out too, they will send their disciples instead to do the cleansing" the former Elder further explained giving everyone hope " Send the letter to First Brother" Chief Su declared as he signed his signature on a scroll and all bowed.
" How pathetic!" a being that stood at the entrance of the court laughed listening to their results..... who was he?
* * * ...* * *
His room was filled with a white paper latern as he sat cross- legged mediating with eyes shut, beside him laid his crystal flute which belonged to an ancient white cultivator. His eyelids moved immediately he felt a soothing breeze around him and it whispered with much care " Great elder Qing Qu ask for your presence" and as it came,so it disappeared making him to open his eyes immediately " Did the breeze messenger summon him?" he inwardly thought as he got up picking up his sword and flute to honor the request.
THE QU SECT
The home of white cultivators suitated deeper inside the mountains in Dijin, they were a special breed of cultivators who were part of the thunder clan and they are into cleansing and musical cultivation. They were known for their white robes with blue linings and sliver hand band especially those who are now fully white cultivators and those still under their masters wore sky blue garments with white hair bands.
Some disciples are spotted in the training ground, others are seen cultivating among the flowers, another set were in the library studying and interpreting, some were practicing some musical skills with either a harp or flute and some are walking out of the class heading to their rooms.
The atmosphere was white and pure which alone makes you feel at ease and free from stress. The white cultivators are descendants of the seventh brother of the demi gods who dealt mainly on cleansing and repenting of souls, they resided in the deeper mountains where the spring of life sparkled and holy weapons hidden and they were rarely seen in streets like other inhabitants.
The sect was filled with mostly related,adopted and those born with a white cultivating spirit. Parents who noticed such spirit in their children, took them to the sect where they will spend the rest of their lives not seeing a single family member.
It was like the monastery where you dedicate your life for the people,to cleanse and help souls ( for they were the most powerful set of cultivators) and they tend to live longer than than anyone which explains Elder Qing Qu staying more than three hundred years. The shocking part was the fact that everyone wanted their kids to be a white cultivator and be respected in the whole clan but was it possible? No! only those who are lucky and qualified are able to be white cultivators.
"Brother Xhou" the little disciples screamed as soon as Xhou entered through the barrier created for the safety of the white cultivators, you can't enter the barrier without their help or venture tailsman which was blue and white in color decorated with inscriptions of the holy doctrines.
They excitedly rushed over to him giving him hugs around his legs, he weakly smiled knowing someone will start throwing jokes for them if they did the same thing to him....pttf.
The kids kept tugging at his princely garments begging to be carried " You come again brother Xhou, won't you be teaching us how to be quiet?" one asked rubbing his eyes cutely. Yes,he has been secretly coming here for like three years now which his father was so oblivious of " No, that will be later" he softly said lifting the child on his arms. Weng had indirectly taught him how to be good with kids and right now ,it was helping him so much Since kids weren't scared of him any longer " will you eat dinner with us? Second sister made congee and my favorite rice pudding" the child in his arms kept talking making Xhou to smile...kids will always be kids anyways " I will try" he replied poking the child's plumpy cheeks.
" You kids again, haven't I warned you to stop been clingy to brother Xhou huh? can't you respect him as a childe?" A young man of Xhou's age scolded as he walked towards the scene " He is our childe also" a female kid pouted causing the young man to scoff " Get your hands off him, his robes are costlier than my life" he groaned pulling the girl who kept screaming. Xhou smiled watching them fight while he kept massaging the kid on his arms.
This was definitely his home , the place he had longed for to have tranquility and peace of mind. His mom was right after all when she kept telling him that he had a white cultivating spirit even though he didn't understand what she was saying... but right now he understood that this was his freedom.
" Brother Xhou, are you still standing there because of these noisy chicks? The female disciples went for the market and as you can see it is wrecking their brains" the young man said, his hair was short and brown with his accommodating smile wore all over his white robes, he held his sword carelessly creating a look on himself from Xhou " Ehe ..... sorry" he grinned putting his sword carefully. He kept reminding Xhou of Weng " Brother Liu Qu likes talking alot" the kids chorused receiving a glare from the young cultivator " Elder Houyi kicked him into the spring during our last practice,he can't play his pipa well" a disciple who wore blue robes chipped in as he advanced with his group wearing the same robe, they were around fourteen and fifteen years and you could tell that they haven't graduated " First childe" The disciples saluted at Xhou who gave them a humble nod " Grandmaster Qing Qu awaits for you in the spring" Everyone bowed immediately they saw a white signal in the sky " I will take my leave, make sure all disciples are taken care of" Xhou gave a bow before walking away leaving the crying kids.
" Shush! don't you know what that signal means?" the older disciples were scolding at the kids making Xhou to inwardly smile.

The spring of living life was an icy and chilly place where the white cultivators go to cultivate or have a peace of mind, it spoke of purity, goodness and mercy enveloping the surrounding. It has two dimensions where the water flow sparkling with health and like diamonds...it was a true definition of a beautiful sky where little stars shone brightly.
At the middle of the spring,sat an elderly man clothed with a stainless white robe and a heavenly aura hovering around the circle,he was like a god dividing the falling water which stopped right on top of his head but his sides were flowing with the powerful waters that never touched him or made him wet.
" Xhou" his icy voice called immediately he felt a being enter " Grandmaster" Xhou fell on his knees with his head down in obesiance " A letter from the Fire clan will be sent to your father to send white cultivators to heal their polluted Land and I am making you the third master of the Qu clan, the home of white cultivators and your assistant shall be Liu Qu the talkative" he paused " He is so much powerful than you think just that he talks alot, he can only use his pipa well than his sword making him the best instrumentalist in our clan and you must remember to abide to the rules in cleansing.. don't let your bitterness take over you" he concluded not looking at Xhou who was shivering under the spring.
" Since you have your flute with you made by my grandfather, I will definitely pass to you my Harp of abstinence, it will guard you and help you in tougher suitations in the future" he icily said as he summoned the stringed instrument. It was a white harp with golden linings which he alone used, it was one of a kind as it floated in the air emitting powerful white qi and Jing in the air. It's profound light can blind a thousand men in a second and it stings like a bee to those who aren't worthy and are unclean " I bestow you the power of a supreme cultivator, with my authority to use my Harp of abstinence and all the rights of a supreme cultivator" Xhou heard the Grandmaster declare as he covered his palms with the waters thrusting it on Xhou and almost immediately, a white bright light flashed across Xhou's eyes and spinning his head involuntarily. His body began glowing like a heavenly being and his black hair floated on the air as it changed to pure white absorbing the energies from the harp and water, he quavered as the immerse light raged all over his body giving him an itching stress, his eyes opened widely revealing a white blazing fire as he got hold of the harp " You are no longer ordinary" he could hear the master say admist of his pains " You are a supreme white cultivator just like me , go you naughty child and fufill your mission as a supreme" A soft voice yelled inside his head before he passed out.
The sky was attacked with a thunder attracting all the eyes of the White cultivators towards the sky " We have a third master" They cried falling on their knees " Finally we are going for a mission" Liu Qu smiled as the thunder kept striking creating branches in the sky..... it was a sign of another supreme cultivator but will He effect it wisely?

ON EARTH (years after the war and months later after Weng's recarination )
Looks like he was in someone's previous life but with the same body, he groaned so hard clenching the bed and struggling with the headache " Doctor,he is awake" he could hear gasps in his unconscious body. He slowly opens his eyes only to see the nurses and doctor moving around him and checking his pulse..... where was he? what world is this? " You had an accident stay calm" the doctor softly said seeing him trying to break the free from the drip, accident? he was killed for crying out loud and they call it an accident.
He tried to recall as he obediently laid back on the bed....he was stabbed, he failed to use his supreme cultivating powers because he wanted to be normal...so he sealed it inside of him, what else? the bells that suddenly started ringing which made him to wake up finding himself in this strange place " The ritual of summoning innocent Souls" he inwardly gasped recognizing the sound of the bell " Aish who did this?" he groaned loudly attracting the caring looks of everyone present " He is dead I can't go back, he is dead I can't go back" he suddenly started crying trying to get up but the nurses held him down " I am not supposed to be here,my soulmate is gone...he....he... left right?" he asked like a lunatic before falling unconscious again.

THE PRESENT DAY THANOS ( about 10 years later)
It looks more like an Amazon deserted and cleared from all it's good tidings, a vague outline of a inner cave can be viewed miles away and a pounding of someone trying to break through from something. The heat that circulated around the place could shrink a mere mortal and drive him crazy, the heavy atmosphere was indeed a huge torment to any living soul that steps a foot on it which can lead to their deaths.
The poundings from the inner cave became harder and harder with the screams of someone in pains and torture " I keep saying this, you won't escape with all these calamities and shedding of blood you have brought upon Thanos" The person kept yelling as he increased the poundings harder, he has been locked behind a huge black pillar with chains around it. It produced a burning sensation and an awkward smell too, merely looking at him; you will know he has been locked up here for decades with an undying torture and torment and if he gets unlucky ( staying there for more years) he will eventually die leaving his body to be eaten by demonic worms around the cave.
For years, the individual hasn't set his eyes on any one except two people, one who kept talking shitty and porngraphic statements and the other one who turned this world into something else under everyone's nose " Jing Su, I swear by the blood of my fathers and the innocent souls you killed, you will die shamefully and miserably, tell whosever you are working for that darkness is coming... I will rip off your balls and toss it unto the hungry cannibals son of a Bitch" he kept cursing with unprescribed anger " just let my rituals work first and watch you and that useless man beg for mercy" .
This was the valley of blood where no man wanted to see talk more of getting caged for years and the place where Xhou's soul hovered around asking for vengeance.
" Aish" a voice cried interrupting the curser " This is so hot hot hot" the voice cried " Use the quenching tailsman or the white paper man" another voice suggested " That's right but I got with me the blue quenching tailsman" the former replied. Quenching tailsman? only one person used it and created tailsman for disturbing suitation ...aah! he is over thinking " I can't find his soul" the former continued alerting the being inside. The only soul that dwelt here was that of Xhou and the clan of exodus has suffered alot of fatalities to catch his soul But it kept killing them and who again wants to challenge the soul of a white cultivator? " Weng Xing" the latter called taking the being aback... did he hear wrong? " We are no longer on Earth lecturer Wen Ning " The latter mimicked his name as females call him .
" Damn cat" the former cursed as they advanced closer to the pillar. Mu Song? Earth another world? Did they? His suspicions were confirmed when he saw a blue tailsman plastered on the cave wall reducing the intensity of the heat " Weng Xing is alive" his heart screamed with melody, Weng Xing was the only one with such tailsman " He is alive...my rituals worked" he kept screaming inwardly scattering the tools he used for the ritual, he hurriedly bandaged his arms where he collected blood from for the ritual.
