"Long time ago, there is a man who had fought many wars and enemies. In all his years of fighting, he never once been defeated. All people called him the War God.
The king of the country where War God reside felt worried and afraid of him. The king was worried that one day, he will fight him for the throne, and become the new king. In his worries, he did some underhanded plot against the War God and manages to take him down. After that, the king killed all of the War God's relatives.
However, karma comes biting the king back. Years later, his descendant become a king. This new king have several general under him, and one of them is a bald man called General Moktan. This Moktan is an ambitious person. He wanted to take over the throne and become the new king. However, he doesn't have the power to do so. The only means that he could use is his ability to summon the dead.
General Moktan then decided to summon the War God from the dead, and use him as a puppet to assist him in conquering the country. However, War God regained consciousness, and killed him.
After that, War God took his revange, and killed the king of the country, along with all of his relatives. After he was done with his revange, he then disappeared from that country.
Sometimes later, rumors says that he assisted the mightiest hero of the world to fight against the Demon Empyrean, in order to save the world. Rumors also says that in order to kill the Demon Empyrean, he used all his means to hold down the Empyrean Demon, while allowing the mightiest hero to unleash his most powerful sword skill on the demon. He then perished together with the Demon Empyrean under that sword's attack."
"Woah! He is such a heroic person."
"Even after he lost everything, he still got the heart to save the world. Such a passionate hero."
"By the way, the War God did not really die."
"Really??"
"Yes. He got reincarnated."
"What!?"
"Then, Tenth Prince, do you know who he is after he got reincarnated?"
"Well, it so happen that I got to know him. Do you kids want to know his name?"
"Yes, 10th Prince."
"Tell us his name."
"His name is..."
All the kids was waiting expectantly and excitedly.
"His name is Xian Wu!"
"Eehhh!!??"
"Tenth Prince, is not your name also Xian Wu?"
"Yes. That's my name."
"Then...then, are you that Xian Wu?"
"Yes! I'm the War God, Xian Wu!"
"What!? No way! You don't look like a war god at all."
"Believe me. I'm really that War God."
Pow!
"Stop telling lie to those kid." Xian Sue Xian, Xian Wu's 7th sister knocked his head while reminding him. "Come on. It's almost the dinner time. Father and mother is already waiting for you."
"Wait. I still have some stories to tell these kids." begged Xian Wu.
"Nu uh. You are going with me now." Sue Xian pulled the unwilling Xian Wu and walked away towards the majestic Royal House.
"Uh...kids, we will continue again next time 'kay." Xian Wu hurriedly bid his farewell to those kids, while being dragged by his sister.
"See you next time 10th Prince."
"Yeah. See you next time, War God!" a kid who have been attentively to Xian Wu story, took it seriously that Xian Wu is that War God. The other kids, looked at each other, and smiled.
"See you again War God, Xian Wu!" shouted the kids to Xian Wu who is already far away.
...
Dining Chamber of the Royal Family.
When Xian Wu and his sister arrived in the Dining Chamber, their parent and siblings are already waiting for them. Inside the chamber, there is a long table for the royalty to sit and have their meals. At one end of the table, there is the King's and Queen's chairs. On the chair sat the current king of Xian Kingdom, King Xian Jun. Beside him was Xian Wu's Mother, Queen Zhao Mei.
After the two chairs, there are the Concubines chairs on the first two chairs on the right and left side respectively. On the right side sat the First and Second Concubines, Qing Yue and Zhong Xie Shue. On the left side sat the Third and Fourth Concubines, Lady Yana and Qing Jiayi.
After the concubines, there is an empty chair on both sides that separate the parents and the children. The seat after that then arranged into six seats at both sides, where the first six children will sit on the right, and the rest will sit on the left side. At the other end of the table, there sat the Empress Dowager, Xian Hua.
"Yo! We meet again, bastard father of mine." Xian Wu greeted the King sarcastically.
"Ungrateful brat! That's not how I teach you to call you own father. It's Royal Father!" said Xian Jun in anger.
"Who cares about what should I call you. Anyway father, you sure are getting old, are you? I can see some wrinkles on your forehead."
"Huh!? What are you on about?"
"Last night, you did not even last for two minutes with Fifth mother. Also, that's only for one round. Father, you are really getting old." said Xian Wu, while smirking at his father.
"Ha...how did you know?" Xian Jun was shocked that he blurted out his shock. The dining hall was silent for a moment. All the girls and ladies faces turned red when they heard the talk between the father and son. This is true especially for Fourth Concubine, who covered her face with her hands in embarrassment.
"XIAN WU. YOU BASTARD!!" King Xian Jun face turned black, as he shouted at Xian Wu.
"Xian Wu, you should not say such thing to your own parent. Also, it's wrong for you to do that." said Queen Zhao Mei, looking at Xian Wu intently. What she meant by 'do that' is Xian Wu's act of peeping on his own father.
"Sorry mother."
"Promise me, you won't do that again."
"I promise mother." promised Xian Wu, bowing a bit toward his mother.
"Xian Wu, by peeping on your own father, you already broke a rule that can be brought to the King court. As a punishment, you will no longer has the chance to take part in the Throne Inheritment." Xian Jun.
"Xian Jun. Hold your punishment. This is not the King Court. We are in the Dining Chamber." reminded the Empress Dowager.
"But mother, this brat is too insolent. What he did is something wrong." Xian Jun tried to explain.
"What did I do wrong. I am your kid you know. I have seen you do it several times with mother when I was still small..."
"XIAN WU!" Zhao Mei shouted at Xian Wu with her face already turning red.
"My bad, mother." Xian Wu apologised.
"Although Xian Wu is wrong here, you are also in the wrong, Xian Jun. You as an Emperor level cultivator should be able to detect if there is anyone peeping on you or not. Also, you should avoid bringing the topic of throne as punishment in this matter." advised the Empress Dowager.
"Forgive me, mother." Xian Jun also apologised for his impulsiveness.
"Anyway, that topic should end here."
They then stopped with those talk and started to eat their foods. While they are eating, Xian Wu glanced at his father, and saw him glaring at him as if trying to stab him to death with his stare. Xian Wu sweat dropped and hastily looked away, back to his food. Did I just dug my own grave? thought Xian Wu.
On the right side of the dining table, Second Prince, Xian Feng was smiling while looking at Xian Wu. Right now, he was feeling good after hearing that his father is not in favor of Xian Wu inheriting the throne. You did a big mistake there Xian Wu. So, it doesn't really matter if I add some more trouble for you, right?
"Royal father, this morning, General Ji Ming complained to me that tenth brother, Xian Wu has been skipping his training that Royal father has already arranged for him." said Xian Feng, breaking the silence.
Xian Jun frowned when he heard that. "Xian Wu, is that true?"
"That's true." nodded Xian Wu, while glancing at Xian Feng.
"I saw him playing around with those commoners kids." added Xian Feng, while smiling at Xian Wu.
"While we dilligently trained under General Ji Ming, he is on the other hand wasting his time playing around." the third Prince, Xian Ji Nan also joined the conversation.
Xian Jun looked at his sons, and read the silent competition between the princes. A look of amusement appeared on his face.
"It's time for me to ask. After these years of training under General Ji Ming, what level of cultivation did you all accomplish?" asked King Xian Jun.
"I am at level Nine Step Disciple." said the second prince, Xian Feng proudly. The rest of the royal children looked at him in surprise. Xian Feng is eighteen years old this year. Reaching level Nine Step Disciple at that age can be considered as a prodigy in the Xian Kingdom.
"I just entered level Seven Step Disciple three days ago." stated the Third Prince, Xian Ji Nan with a sigh. He is also eighteen years old this year, but it seems like he is a bit behind the Second Prince in cultivation.
"Same, I'm at level Seven Step Disciple." Fourth Princess, Xian Mu Yue said shortly.
"Eight Step Disciple." stated the Fifth Princess, Xian Suya. "She is the same as me." as she said that, she pointing her finger at her twin sister, the Sixth Princess, Xian Suwa.
"I just entered level One Step Master, a few days ago." said Xian Sue Xian.
"What!?" All the royalty looked at Sue Xian with shock.
"Are you telling the truth?" asked the Second Prince in disbelief. If that is true, Sue Xian who is a year younger than him is the real prodigy in the royal family.
"She is telling the truth. She really has already entered the Master level Cultivation." agreed Xian Hua, the Empress Dowager. She just used her Emperor, no...in her case, her Empress level cultivation to scan Sue Xian's cultivation.
King Xian Jun was also surprised with his daughter's progress. He then glanced at the three others who has not stated their cultivation level.
"Level Seven Step Disciple." 8th Princess, Xian Xue.
"Same, level Seven." 9th Princess, Xian Bing.
"...uh. I am stuck at level Five Step Disciple." stated Xian Wu, sweating when he saw his father glaring at him.
"So, you really slacked off in your own training." King Xian slammed his hands on the dining table, feeling disappointed at Xian Wu.
"Xian Jun." The Empress Dowager looked sharply at the king.
"My bad. I lost my composure just now." King Xian apologized to his mother. He calmed down himself for a moment, before saying, "Xian Wu, starting from tomorrow, I will put you under the army regiment training."
