These two weeks were restless , everyone in Spirit Arc City were forced to participate in repair and reconstruction of the damage and destruction.
Medicine Master Jiang had originally thought he would finally get to enjoy his life but the restless responsibility forced him to grit his teeth and straighten his old bone .
While everyone was busy with their works and responsibilities , Young master Qi was focused on his own Refinement .
"Haha "
One day is equivalent to one month inside the Pagoda , that means fourteen days is equivalent to fourteen months .
After such long refinement , Young master Qi finally refined Fiend Embryo into his Dao Dan .
Dao Dan , some people also like to call it by the name of Golden Core or something .
While everyone has only one Dao Dan , he has two Dao Dan !!
One is Dao Dan condense from Slaughtering Dao , second one is condense from Fiend Embryo !!
"Summon "
Inside Black Heaven Pagoda , Young master Qi summons his Fiend Embryo .
In front of him , a wave of gastly lights begins to weave with each other . And soon , a human silhouette begins to condense .
Wait no , this silhouette belongs to a human baby but this human baby has body condense from gastly energy.
Pair of empty eyes and a small black snake on the forehead.
The Fiend Embryo has no leg but instead his lower body resembles that of Genie from Aladdin Fairytale .
Fiend Embryo is around 2 feet short and has no Cultivation .
But even without any Cultivation , this Fiend Embryo already possess the strength to kill any Dao Seed with his [ Soul Possession ]
Every Fiend has an Innate Ability known by the name of [ Soul Possession ]
After possessing the Soul of their target , they can destroy the soul or devour the soul .
"Let's see , what should I name you ?"
Young master Qi crosses his arms around his chest and begins to think of a good name for his Fiend Embryo that will grow into his Dao Spirit .
Dao Spirit is similar to Dao Avatar but Dao Spirit and Dao Avatar are not the same .
There are many Geniuses out there who possess the Blood of Martial Dao Warriors .
And those Martial Dao Warriors have an Inborn Spirit called Martial Spirit . Similar to Martial Spirit , Immortal Dao Warriors cultivate in Dao Spirits .
The only difference between these two are , while Martial Spirit are Inborn and can even be inherited from their family .
Dao Spirits are different . Dao Spirits need to be refined , cultivated and finally nurtured .
The difference between a Martial Dao Warrior and Immortal Dao Warrior is not something complicated . While Immortal Dao Warriors mainly focus on Cultivating their Dao .
Contrary to them , Martial Dao Warriors mainly focus on Martial Discipline . They believe in the Military , Martial Arts , Physical Training and Martial Way .
You can also understand them in this way , while Immortal Dao Warriors are cultivators of Magic and Immortality .
On the other hand , Martial Dao Warriors are warriors who mainly are born for warfare and battlefield .
While one is a Battlemage , the other one is a Berserker with Magic .
"Let's call you Rai , yes that's a good name "
"In ancient time , there was a Tribe call [ Rai ] "
Young master Qi rubs his chin and explains the meaning behind the word Rai .
"Rai Tribe was said to be Brave Warriors and also Loyal Friend "
"For friends , they used to even die with a smile and kill anyone without caring if their enemy is on the Righteous Order or Unrighteous Order "
"They represents Brave Warrior of ancient time , when they marched forward during their battle "
"Even the millions of Heavenly Warriors were force to retreat hundred steps just because of their single step "
"So I give you the name of [ Rai ] in reminisce of Bravery , Loyalty , Kindness and Simplicity "
Young master Qi has always respected strong and prominent figures that used to exist and that exist .
When he was still True Emperor Yang , or more precisely when he was still a member of Killer Organization , he used to hear the legend of the Rai Tribe .
Rai Tribe , with only around 2500 Members , forced millions of Heavenly Armies to retreat .
But unfortunately , not even a single life of the Heavenly Army was at mercy during the war against the Heavenly Army led by Heavenly General Kong .
That legendary tale was deeply attached in his heart , always yearning to be someone like them .
A single step forced a Behemoth that used to lord over Myriad World to retreat a hundred steps !!
It may be too exaggerated but it is the truth !!
After naming Fiend Embryo , Young master Qi takes out Elemental Imps which he had already refined .
With that , he leaves the group of Elemental Imps and Rai inside Black Heaven Pagoda .
When he leaves Black Heaven Pagoda and opens his eyes in the real world , he finds himself extremely tired .
"Although it has only been a straight two week Cultivation Seclusion. , I always forget this is not a body of True Emperor "
Only a True Emperor can go into Cultivation Seclusion for a million years without eating anything .
But a Quasi - Dao Flower like him has no qualifications to achieve such a feast .
"Let's bath for now "
Although he can just wash his body with Spiritual Qi or Chaos , he still wants to experience Mortal Routine .
After bathing , he comes out of his bathroom . Just like any other day , after coming out of his bath he admires himself in the mirror.
"It's always refreshing to bath with fresh water "
He walks out of his room , greeted by a few beautiful maids and guards .
"Young master , you finally decided to walk out "
"I thought you would be living inside your room forever "
You'er, dressed with a long green dress , she teases Young master Qi .
Looking at this adorable girl , Young master Qi says nothing .
He just walks out of Qi Residence and soon he is greeted with loud noises and restless activities.
Central Qi District seems to have new buildings and construction works are still going on .
"Feels very strange to see all this , after all Just two weeks ago , this city was attack by Cult "
After a while he visits a few locations and enjoys his time , but he is suddenly summoned back to Qi Residence by Medicine Master Jiang .
After returning back to Qi Residence, Young master Qi is guided by a few warriors of the Qi Family to the Gathering Hall .
The moment Young master Qi enters the hall , he sees many familiar faces .
There are District Lords and Elders of the Sect gathered , and in place of District Lord You and Mu , there is the Young Heir as Acting Family Head / District Lord .
And in his father's seat , no one but emptiness exists .
Medicine Master Jiang is standing on the left side of the seat with him holding a scroll .
"Young master Qi , please "
Medicine Master Qi signals Young master Qi to come close to him .
Young master Qi walks to Medicine Master Jiang while greeting all the Elders and District Lords.
After standing next to Medicine Master Jiang , he silently stands and observes the situation .
Next to him , You'er is also confused about what is going on ?
After a while , Medicine Master Jiang coughs and gathers everyone's attention for himself .
He observes everyone and nods slightly before opening the scroll .
When the scroll was open , a multicolor light escaped from the scroll .
And soon , everyone can hear a very old and ancient voice that belongs to a master from the Ancient Age .
The voice is old and has been worn by the river of Time , but the power that can be felt in each word is enough to render anyone to their knees .
"Everyone , my utmost greeting and gratitude for supporting the Sect from the start to the very ending "
When the voice was heard , everyone recognized the owner .
Previous Sect Master of Casket Sword Sect .
Everyone silently listens to what Supreme Elder Qi has to say . After one retires from the Sect Master position , they will be entitled Supreme Elder . And only when someone takes over his or her position , can one finally become an Ancestor .
As for becoming an Ancient Ancestor , they need to be Ancestors for at least one Era .
"I know everyone must be thinking the same thing , since the absence of Sect Master of the Sect has significant importance"
"Since the founding of Casket Sword Sect , our Qi Family has always been the one who has been shouldering the responsibility on leading our Sect to prosperity "
"And it is irrefutable rule that only the member of Qi Family can inherit the Sect Master position "
Here everyone agrees on what the Supreme Elder Qi said so they do not interrupt the recording.
"Since the time of founding , our Sect Mother has always been supported by the Great Four Supremes . Namely — Long , Tan , Mu and You "
" Although we don't know why but the Great Four Supremes had agreed on Qi Family's sovereignty over Casket Sword Sect "
"That is also why , generation after generation, this Four Great Families have always been supporting Qi Family on their reign over the Sect "
"For this , I am genuinely and sincerely thanking you all "
"I have thought about this matter for not once but many times "
"And in the end , I have come up with a solution "
Everyone arches their brows up when they hear the last sentence of Supreme Elder Qi .
"I will appoint an Acting Sect Master that will take the position of Sect Master Qi "
"In his absence , the Acting Sect Master will be responsible for maintaining peace and order of the Sect "
"And this responsibility is given to the youngest son of house — Qi Daoyuan "
When Supreme Elder Qi finished his announcement , everyone shifted their focus on Young master Qi .
Young master Qi is only a 9 year old child so how can Supreme Elder Qi make him Acting Sect Master ?
Is Supreme Elder Qi messing up with everyone ?
If so then it was a great joke , hahahahaha .
Okay we laughed , now continue from where you left .
But even after a long time passed , nothing came out from the multicolor light. Instead , the light shattered and broke like a glass ,the fragments scattering away and slowly dissipating.
And that was the moment everyone understood that the Supreme Elder is not joking .
As for Young master Qi , he was also feeling very complicated . But on the surface , he made sure to remain calm .
- Medicine Master Jiang , what is the situation ?
He sends a Telepathic Message to Medicine Master Jiang . To his question , Medicine Master Jiang answers .
- Young master Qi , please bear with this for now
- Supreme Elder Qi would not have appointed you as Acting Sect Master if not for your elder brothers and sister refusing to take over the position of Sect Master
Young master Qi fell into deep silence , wondering what is going on with everything ?
- What about Second brother ? Wasn't he supposed to succeed the position after Sect Master Qi ?
Medicine Master Jiang greets everyone , even Young master Qi gets busy with everyone .
Everyone present inside the Greeting Hall congratulates him for becoming Acting Sect Master .
After a while , Medicine Master Jiang answers.
- He also refused to get appointed as Acting Sect Master . As for the reason —
Before Medicine Master Jiang could continue anymore , Young master Qi stops him .
- don't give me that shit which my brother fed you .
Medicine Master Jiang was frozen for a second , he thought he misheard what he heard just now .
So he smiles on the surface and sends a Telepathic Message to Young master Qi once again .
- the reason is —
Once again he was interrupted .
- didn't I say don't give me that shit ? Are you deaf or dumb ?
Now Medicine Master Jiang was sure he didn't hear wrong , turning around to watch Young master Qi , he felt a deep shiver running down his spine .
He can see Young master Qi smiling and receiving greetings from everyone .
But he can also hear a very monotonous voice inside his head , the voice seems to be detached from everything and anything that exists in this world .
- it seem everyone has grown wings , trying to fly above Firmament like a soaring True Dragon and dancing Divine Phoenix
- let them enjoy themselves for now
Here , Young master Qi turns to meet his gentle eyes with Medicine Master Jiang .
When no one was noticing interaction between those two , Young master Qi reveals cold and emotionless eyes .
When such eyes met Medicine Master Jiang , he fell into Chaos , not sure what tribulation he is going through ?
"Young master Qi , congratulations on becoming Sect Master even though it is only Acting Sect Master"
Young miss You , a very elegant and noble young lady from Northern You , congrats Young master Qi .
"Thank you for your wellbeing , Young miss You "
"Or should I call you Family Head of Northern You Family ?"
Ever since the leader of Northern You Family disappeared with Sect Master Qi , he has not returned back .
That is the reason why the eldest daughter of Northern You too has taken over Acting Family Head position .
She has just returned from Flaming Feather Sect where she is core disciple of the Sect . Her Cultivation is as unfathomable as the Elders of her family , making her one of strongest Young Genius of her family .
She is tall and very aloof , resembling a Noble Lady of high status.
While on the other side is Young master Mu — Acting Family Head of Eastern Mu .
"If it is like that , then don't I need to call you Sect Master ?"
With a beautiful smile that can steal any man's heart and love , the elegant Northern District Lord You opens her lips.
"I guess so , that means I am officially promoted to be the leader of Casket Sword Sect "
"Doesn't that mean it is also lucky for me to have our Sect Master disappear ? Haha "
Sect Master Qi Daoyuan jokes with District Lord You , with that both laugh like an old friend .
After a little chit-chat , everyone leaves .
Only You'er , Acting Sect Master Qi and Medicine Masters Jiang were left inside the Gathering Hall .
Nobody said anything , remaining silent for a long time .
After a long time , Sect Master Qi moves toward Sect Master Seat , admiring for a second before resting on the seat .
He turns to look at You'er and asks her with a calm smile .
"You'er , what do you think ?"
"Don't I look cool ?"
You'er jumps In front of him and stands forward , admiring Sect Master Qi to her fullest , she spreads her arms , expressing how cool he looks .
"The Sect Master Seat suits you the best , Young master "
"Only someone like you deserves to be Sect Master , Young master "
Anyone can clearly see , even a blindman can see how happy and joyful she is right now .
Her happiness knows no limit .
Seeing her positive emotions directed toward him , even Sect Master Qi felt positivity in him .
This girl always manages to make him feel positivity for some reason , for once even he smiles genuinely .
"As for Medicine Master Jiang "
He turns to look at Medicine Master Jiang and his voice floats in the air .
"The first order from me after I have become Sect Master of Casket Sword Sect is to sever all the connections with outside relatives "
"From now on , all those siblings and whatnot , they are no one to us "
"This is my rule , my kingdom "
Medicine Master Jiang felt his nose twist and turn when he heard the very first order from Sect Master Qi .
He wants to say something but Sect Master Qi gestures at him to stop .
"Gather all the Branch Family Leaders of Qi , within three days I want everyone to be here"
"Those that are not present within three days will be outcast , we will be force to think they have rebel against us "
"And since there is rebels in our own Blood , we need to exterminate the danger before we let them mature "
" Go and announce to everyone , be it in Capital of Sect or other affiliated powerhouses "
" Qi Family is recruiting Family Guards , Soldiers and Geniuses "
"Those that wants to join the family will be given generous salary "
With the same smile , Sect Master Qi gives orders to Medicine Master Jiang .
As for the latter , Medicine Master Jiang only thinks Sect Master Qi is trying to recruit some guards and warriors for the family to increase security and strength of the household .
So he does not say anything , leaving the hall just like others .
As for Sect Master Qi , he silently thinks for himself .
' This sect is full of father's subordinates , so it will be hard to take over the Sect .'
' Although I have no intention of becoming Sect Master forever , I can take this opportunity to gather my own power . '
Sect Master Qi , in his life as True Emperor Yang , has experienced first hand power of Legion and Army .
He was all alone in his first life , with no one by his side , he always was forced to suffer alone .
He was hunted by the powerful Kingdom and Empire before he ascended and became True Emperor .
So he understands how terrifying the power and strength of an Army mean.
So he will take everything smoothly , not repeating the same reckless attitude he did in his previous life.
Even if he does not become the True Emperor in this life , he will find another way to achieve his goal .
Build stability in his Cultivation .
Create a force and nurture talents who will be loyal to him .
And finally , leave this small Sect and finally start his campaign.
Everything is all planned , he only needs to execute his plan . But before executing , he needs to build the foundation .
And he will start with creating some private forces that will only listen to his order . And followed by taking over the Qi Family .
Only after spreading his dominance over his own family , he can finally start his reign over another powerhouse .
And after building his own secret force , he does not care about other things .
After all , the Casket Sword Sect is too small for him . He can't just achieve Immortality by ruling over the Casket Sword Sect .
As for what the future holds for the Sect , who cares ?
In his previous life , True Emperor was the limit but this era is about to welcome a new era .
With endless possibilities of achieving Realm beyond True Emperor .
******
Somewhere in a small village of Casket Sword Sect , there are hills surrounding and few houses built .
"You useless brat !!"
"Don't you feel embarrassed to just laze around with nothing proper to do ?"
"Go outside the village and find some decent and stable work , you jobless bastard "
Early in the morning , Yuan Bao felt his butts getting kicked by someone .
His body rolls down from the bed and falls on the ground .
"Damn father !! "
"Why are you always on my tail ?"
Yuan Bao is a young man in his late 22's , healthy and strong like a wild buffalo .
He is wearing ordinary clothes only available to farmers and villagers .
"What ?"
"So you have grown up to the point of rebutting your own father ?"
"You unfilial brat "
Once again , father Yuan kicks on his son's buttocks , sending Yuan away to clash with the bamboo wall of the house .
"Father stop hitting me "
"Look at the sister , she is doing nothing despite being 3 years older than me "
"But you never say anything to her "
Yuan Bao points his finger at his young elder sister who is leisurely eating some oranges or something .
"Brother darling , you don't understand anything "
His sister who is both beautiful and smart shakes her head , disagreeing with what he said .
"What do I not understand "
Yuan Bao blinks his eyes , looking at his sister very carefully .
" I am the darling of this house so how can my soft skin and beautiful body do manual work ? "
"It is your filial duty to earn money and help your family in financial support "
"How can you ask your dear sister to go and find a job out there in this cruel and ruthless world ?"
"My heart is hurt "
"You drama queen "
Yuan Bao grit his teeth when he sees his sister expressing her suffering and grief .
"What are you glaring at ? Go and find some work and earn some money , do some filial piety to your father "
Father Yuan throws Yuan Bao away from the house .
"This pair of father and son , always fighting "
"Can't they just live in harmony even for a second ?"
"Ignore them "
The villagers around them began to gossip when they saw a pair of father-son arguing again .
"Father , okay , okay "
Yuan Bao stands up and dust off his butt , while clenching his lower lips , he nods his head .
"Okay , okay , father "
"You are throwing this son who is as strong as a wild buffalo away while adorning that weak as chicken sister with you "
He raised his voice , enough for everyone in the village to listen .
"Listen everyone , today my father has thrown me away from the house "
"I am not returning till the day I don't achieve success in my life "
"Stop bullshiting , this has been 1345th times you have said that to us "
In the middle of his grand announcement , suddenly some random villager made jokes out of him .
"Who was that ? If you have heart of a tiger , get your ass In front of me "
Yuan Bao looks around but no one comes forward .
And finally he looks at his father and challenges him with his finger flickering.
Flick
Flick
"Your son challenges you , father ,"
"Until the day I don't earn 10 million Gold , this son of yours will not show his face to you "
With that , he turns around and leaves proudly .
"Oe bastard , wait for a second "
Listening to his father's call , with a haughty attitude , Yuan Bao does not even bother to turn to look back at his father .
"You regret it now for kicking me out of the house "
"But it is too late to stop me "
"Once I commit a promise , even you my father is useless , don't try to stop me now "
His arrogance was reaching the sky .
But his father's flat voice floated in the air .
"I am not trying to stop you "
"If you want to leave the house , at least wear some decent pant or trouser "
"Hahaha "
All the villagers began to laugh when his father's words finished .
Only then did Yuan Bao realize he was wearing a boxer-like half pant .
"Damn it , you should have said so "
*****
Medicine Master Jiang began to announce every corner of the Sect about Recruitment . And within a single day , through Transportation Ships , the news was spread everywhere .
Geniuses and jobless experts from the Sect all around , began to prepare themselves to visit the Sect .
Since everyone was given the privilege of Transportation Ships , they were brought to Qi Residence.
"Just after the chaos , it seem a new chaos is about to fall on our Sect "
From Southern Tan District , standing on the balcony of a building , a very seductive voice was heard .
Watching those waves of Transportation Ships flying , District Lord Tan frowns deeply .
"I sense ulterior motives in newly appointed Sect Master's intention "
District Lord Tan is born with Great Dao Soul , she is very sensitive to her surroundings.
Although not many know about her Great Dao Soul , that does not mean her Inborn Gift is any weaker than Heavenly Geniuses of the current generation .
"Mother , what do you mean by that ?"
Young master Tan also stands next to his mother , watching all those Transportation Ships flying up in the sky .
"I am not sure , but I don't feel good about this at all "
District Lord Tan shook her head , feeling very uneasy .
"So you mean , Young master Qi has ulterior motives in gathering all these Geniuses and masters ?"
Young master opens his lips , his voice reaching his mother's ear .
District Lord Tan enters the room and ignores the commotion going outside .
"I am not sure but this is not a good sign for any of us "
"Although Great Four Supremes used to be our Progenitor and pledge an oath to help Qi Family as long as Qi Family exist "
"That does not applies to future generations "
"Because once the blood running in Qi Family descendants diverts, there will be a loophole for him or her to breach the agreed oath promised by our Progenitor "
Here , District Lord Tan rests on a sedan chair while enjoying a cup of fresh tea to calm her mind .
"You mean to say . Young master Qi is that loophole ?"
On Young master Tan's doubt , District Lord Tan signals him he is accurate by slowly closing her eyes and opening once again .
Her big and pretty eyes that are no less than pearls born from the star , agrees with Young master Tan's statement .
"Sect Master Qi is not the biological son of Supreme Elder Qi "
"He was adopted right after the biological son of Supreme Elder Qi died in a great battle for True Emperor Ascension "
"Just after his biological son died , Sect Master Qi came to Qi Residence"
There she hesitates for a second . noticing his mother's hesitation , Young master Tan feels something is not right .
And his doubt was confirmed when his mother opened her lips .
"The scariest thing about Sect Master Qi was , he was exactly same as the deceased son of Supreme Elder Qi "
"And , and when the day of Bloodline Awakening took place , it was confirmed that Sect Master Qi who was suppose to not be from Qi Family actually had Qi Family Bloodline "
"Impossible "
Young master Tan was genuinely surprise when he received such shocking truth .
"Hehe "
District Lord Tan dryly laughs .
"And now after that anomaly , a new anomaly has officially step into the world of Unknown "
"And I am sure , this new anomaly is up to no good . Unlike his father "
District Lord Tan was not the only to feel a bad premonition just after the new Sect Master gave his order .
Everyone was feeling something is about to descend on them all , and this time this will be far more terrifying than anything they have seen .
And the man in question is standing on the courtyard while watching Transportation Ships flying toward Qi Residence .
Shrugging his shoulder , Sect Master Qi smiles coldly and reveals his white fang .
At the same time , inside family Forbidden Land , there in one of Immortal Cave , a very ancient existence slowly reveals sly and chilling smile .
" The pieces are set "
" Let the game begin "
