As these two great rulers made their moves , the rest of the world continued to move yet as though following a trend , almost all leaders through out the world under an unspoken not to interfere with each others interests, be they the greatest of enemies or the most righteous of sects yet this only applied to the bigger factions of the upper realms leaving the smaller factions to join the trend in a more barbaric way.
The most vicious of which were the vagabond cultivators.
These marginalized and oppressed cultivators had the most grudges to repay from having opportunities such as secret realms restricted from them to having their resources straight up stolen from them.
Some faced even worse forms of humiliation such as rape , crippling of cultivation and the list simply goes on.
In this time every little grudge, from pouring tea on others to rape and even cheating.
This bizarre occurrence only ended 50 years later and it was at this time people investigated the cause of such an occurrence.
After much investigation, speculation and arguments the wise men of previous the generation came to the same conclusion.
The cause of this incident was the combination of the sovereign and celestial dao as their residue qi could be found on the affected individuals.
When the immortal and celestial emperors heard this and did some investigation, it turned out that the simple vow they made not to interfere with each others interests had transformed into some sort of imperial edict to the Masses.
Even though the rumors were never confirmed, the prestige of the immortal and celestial emperor increased and so did the fear towards their abilities.
As these events were taking place, Auron could be seen continuously swinging a sword in one hand and a saber in the other.
The difficulty of which could be imagined as both the sword and saber had different movements that conflicted with one another . he'd been at it for the past seventy years without rest or food. And as time went on the rigid and flimsy movements from before became smoother and cleaner as time passed . when he started to produce both sword and saber Qi ,a weird phenomenon happened where the saber and swordqi started to mix and form a strange kind of Qin that seems both like a sword and saber at the same time. He continued to practice till their was no difference between a sword or saber in his hands.
At this point in his sea of consciousness a weapon that looked both like a sword and saber floated above,it seemed transparent but held an unfathomable amount of power.
Close to it was a mountain unbending and firm which represented his martial dao and around it a grey river that continuously splashed it's heavy waters on the mountain polishing it. The blade was above on top of the mountain as the sun and moon above nurture the sword,mountain and river.
As you can guess everything is a representation of daos he's practicing such as the martial dao, reincarnation, yin and Yang, blade dao and of course the rune dao that seems to be holding everything together.
Having made the shape for the first weapon dao he planned to master he set of on a thousand year journey.
