In a dimly lit room decorated with expensive and rare materials, a half naked young man with only his lower body covered sat crossed legged. His long purple hair was loosed and it cascade down his back like a waterfall.
His eye were tightly closed and profound qi revolve round him brimming with purple light as they enter his sacred mark on his forehead. His sacred mark which is a purple crescent shaped absorbs the wave of qi. He was in a deep state of cultivation for several day staying in one position for a week without eating or drinking
"Almost there," He muttered softly as the mark on his head shone with violet light.
*Boom* A thunderous noise erupted from him followed by a blast of overflowing qi. The mark on his head grew slightly and the light became brighter.
"I did it, I reached the state of mental harmony," He said with a satisfied smile on his face.
The dripping sweat on him showed his relentless hard work. The young man is Long Chen, a celestial prodigy in cultivation and the beloved son of Grand Emperor Long.
Long Chen was born with a silver spoon and had everything he wanted in abundance. His father is the ruler of the nine heavens and step away from becoming a god, with title Lightning Lord
But even though having everything he wanted such as the best cultivation resources, his father still instill in him morals and discipline since he was the one who raised him since his mother died immediately after his birth.
*Shing* A streak of gold light entered his room interrupting his joyful moment. Long Chen stretched his hands and it flew toward him.
"Father," Long Chen said softly sensing the unique aura it radiate.
In the world of cultivation, profound qi is used to deliver message since they are very fast.
After reading the message. Long Chen stood up, quickly refresh and change his clothes before heading to his father courtyard which is separated from the rest of the family household.
It was located at the top of finshu mountain. Even though Long Chen is the youngest son of his father who had 7, his amazing talent outshine the others and he became the most favoured and most likely to inherit the the throne, and this for sure made the others jealous giving him a lonely childhood.
"Father you summoned me," Long Chen said standing at the door of the courtyard.
"Yes come in," Emperor Long voice replied and the door opened for Long Chen to enter.
The place was lavishly decorated and it screamed luxury. The owner spared no effort to create this masterpiece. The place stretch beyond the line of sight. crystal clear waterfall and peach trees made adorn it. Gold statue of a strong and powerful man give this place a commanding feeling.
At the center, golden stairs which looks like the road to heaven connect a golden palace. The courtyard was a heaven to cultivators due to it high concentration of celestial qi caused by a thick celestial vein buried unde the mountain.
"Greetings father," Long Chen greeted with a deep bow immediately he saw his father.
A handsome man who looke middle aged wearing a long silver robe. His presence demanded respect and awe. His attention was focused on a piece of paper and paint brush in his hands. The paint bulrush glowed with multicoloured light as he drew.
After continuous motion he dropped the brush and gently tapped on the painting. A golden halo burst forth and the characters came to life. They feel out as if they have developed their own consciousness.
"Congratulations father, your cultivating has increase," Long Chen said looking at his father in awe. He knew how hard it is to have a breakthrough when ones cultivation is high.
"Uhm," Emperor Long said with a gentle nod.
Long Chen couldn't help but feel a bit strange about his father mood.
"Father I also got great news, I had a breakthrough few hours ago," Long Chen said with a slight smile.
"I know, that why I called you here," Emperor Long said.
"Come," Emperor Long said turning his attention from the paper to Long Chen who immediately started walking closer.
After getting close that they were some meter apart Long Chen noticed something wrong. "Danger!" He exclaimed with a shock expression. His eyes turned sharp as he quickly tried to circulate his his profound qi to fight but noticed he couldn't. He was trapped in his father domain and moving an inch is an impossible feat.
A bolt of lightning the size of a needle came out of his father index finger to his sacred mark.
If one saw the small size of the lightning, one would waved it off thinking it poses no threat to a cultivator but Long Chen who went through the destructive power understood the great power contained in it.
He watches helplessly as the lightning bolt pierced through his sacred mark, went to his datain which stored his accumulated qi and destroyed it.
Unbearable pains spread throughout his body. "Why father?" Long Chen asked with a confused gaze as he lost control over his body making him fall flat on the floor with his eyes glued to his father. Blood oozed continuously from his mouth and head.
"You are not worthy of being my son demon," The harsh words spilled out from Emperor Long mouth and it was as if a thousand needle pierce his heart.
When cultivators get awakened, some managed to unlock magical beast. They are destined to be master and slave till the death of any. With the beast, they can cultivate faster and have double force when confronting an enemy.
When Long Chen was awakened, he unlocked a level 9 demon just like his deceased mother. This caused his cultivation to sky rocket and he earned the title celestial prodigy at the age of 10.
Now he is 16 years old and already at the state of mental harmony, a level many cultivated rs failed to reach. His demon beast was like a cheat to his cultivation.
Him Awakening a demon beat was a secret know by only him and his father. The other people who knew were all mysteriously killed.
Now hearing who he loved and sees as a mentor calling him a demon and even killing him, he felt hurt.
The last thing he saw was his father face which display no emotion as if his death meant nothing to him.
"If there is a next life, I will come and hunt you down," Long Chen swore on his last breath before entering a complete state of silence and nothingness.
"Ahhhhh," Emperor Long roared and a loud thunder blot fell from the sky and precisely hit the body Of Long Chen.
