Chapter 0 - prologue
The air in the Vibrant yang sect Hall was filled with an electric excitement as disciples and elders gathered to celebrate a momentous occasion
The breakthrough of their most esteemed fellow disciple, Bai Sheng. The child prodigy of the clan, Bai Sheng had always been known for his calm demeanor and steady temperament, traits that set him apart from the lively and passionate martial artists of the Vibrant yang sect.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the elegant hall, the festivities began. Tables laden with delicacies lined the hall, and the sound of laughter and chatter filled the air. Disciples toasted to Bai Sheng's success, praising his dedication and unwavering commitment to the martial path.
Amidst the jubilation, Liang Feng sat at the center of attention, his expression serene as he accepted the congratulations and well-wishes of his peers. However, behind his pleasant facade, his thoughts turned towards the future.
He had indeed experienced a breakthrough, but not in the way everyone believed. It wasn't a simple epiphany that had propelled him from the 5th to the 7th layer of the martial artist realm. Instead, it was the culmination of years of study and cultivation, preparing for the infusion of a bloodline that now resonated through his qi, surrounded him with a faint aura of power.
Bai Sheng had always been cautious, aware of the dangers and politics that awaited him within the world of martial artists and immortals.
His refusal to indulge in the revelries of alcohol and his preference for solitude was often compared with the telltale aloofness of some prodigies,
but in truth, it was also a calculated choice to maintain his focus and separate himself from being caught up in the interests of others.
As the night wore on and the celebrations reached their peak, Bai Sheng excused himself from the festivities under the guise of needing rest after the breakthrough.
In reality, he retreated to his secluded chamber, where he could ponder the implications of his newfound strength and the price he paid to get it so early.
Outside, the clan hall buzzed with excitement, unaware of his intricate plans and ambitions that lay far beyond the reach of this meager sect. For Bai Sheng, the path ahead was one the elders of the sect would never see. But he was determined to tread it with the same calm resolve that had brought him this far.
The moon rose high in the night sky, casting a silvery glow over the Vibrant yang sect, a beacon of martial prowess and ancient lineage within the region.
And at the center of it, Bai Sheng stood as a testament of it's bright future
