In the Eastern Region of Xuan Dynasty....
In the courtyard of the XuanYu sect. The main sect of the Xuan Dynasty. A figure in black robe with his hands behind his back was looking at the orange sky ,as the sun was setting off the blue sky has turned red ,the breeze of cold air blow passed through his face , this was making him feel quite nostalgic.
As it's been 20 years , Since he came to this beautiful as well as chaotic world . Where no one can live without power , without power you are nothing more than slave or human sacrifice no matter your identity. You not safe without power either you are a human or a spiritual beast.
' Haaa...' Ming Ping let out a long sigh as he lowered his head, his hands reaches behind his head before opening the blind fold from his eyes.
After removing the black peice of cloth which has been incarnated with spiritual formation in it, Ming Ping looked at the sky one more time before sitting on the chair in the courtyard. Although even after removing his blindfold his eyes did open but he can still look around the world without opening his eyes. It was because of the Gu of Vision. Although he had that Gu which grants him the ability to look around but it only help him to see for few seconds before entirely consuming the energy within Ming Ping.
To use this Gu for permanent cure of his illness, he needs a vast and unimaginable source of Qi, which is nearly impossible to get .
" The sky looks so beautiful with many Spiritual beast and cultivators flying high , but it's a pity that I can't even open my eyes to fully praise it's beauty. " Ming Ping thought with a calm face although he was feeling sad but his face remains unchanged .
The courtyard was filled with dense immortal QI like a forest filled dense fog , which help him a little to look at the sky just a few moments ago. Because of the many Spiritual formation in the courtyard. Ming Ping looked at the spiritual pond in front of him , while not thinking about this matter any further he got up from the chair and sat near the stone of the pond . And started to form a special mudra ( gesture ) with his hands and started to accumulate Qi from the surrounding.
Being born this cultivation world, cultivation is naturally the most important thing about anyone. Most of the people cultivates because they want to achieve immortality but Ming Ping got surprise a little at first when he learn about the spiritual fruits, wine , pills , Talisman and beast. People in this world can use these things to prolonged there life at another level without getting old or die of old age and even can become immortal relaying on these things.
" What, if they can become immortal with these things , then why do they need to cultivate..? " Little Ming Ping asked this question to a figure in front of him ,it was Ming Ping 's mother Ming Jun . She was teaching about immortals and immortality to little Ming Ping.
" Oh,that's because even if they can prolong their life little Ping . But they can't avoid any trouble and what if they got into a life and death situation , you always need power to avoid problem and life and death problem. That's why ..." Ming Jun beautiful face showed a pleased expression as her lips curls up in a mesmerizing smile. While her pure black midnight hair falling behind her moved by the wind . She was looking absolute fairy of immortal world. After all she is the wife of the sect master.
" Oh, but mother if we don't cause any trouble and remains a low key. " Ming Ping asked again as the thought blurred and Ming Ping bring back to present as he heard the footsteps of someone coming to the courtyard. He pushed his nostalgic thought out of his mind and stopped cultivating .
Soon the door of the courtyard pushed open as a graceful lady coupled with elegance walk towards him . Her bare feet was marely making any noise like a cat walking without noise but Ming Ping can still feel her presence.
As she reached behind, only few meters away from him , Ming Ping immediately turned his head and greeted her with at most respect.
' Greetings mother..'
Ming Jun looked at him , and hummed in low and cold tone . She was wearing purple- white Ancient Clothing with beautiful design . It was showcasing her perfect figure . Although Ming Jun replied to Ming Ping but he can feel the coldness in her tone. So , Ming Ping smiled a little before saying.
' What happened mother, did your son has done anything that makes you angry..? '
Ming Jun looked directly at her son's calm face, with his eyes still closed . Ming Jun's cold domenor become weak as she said.
' Angry..? Yes , I am angry with you Little Ping..' She said with emotionless face like she was really very angry with him.
' Oh .. than please tell me mother, what I have done to make my ever smiling mother angry...'
' You ..' Ming Jun was to say something but before she takes a deep breath and said.
' You know about the upcoming ceremony right, which gonna held on next month.. Huh.?'
' Oh, you mean the next event of establishing the holy son of the XuanYu sect.' Ming Ping replied with a thoughtful expression.
' Yes, that ... I want to know why are you not taking that position of the holy son of our XuanYu sect. You are our only son and you are just rejecting that position , now your father have to put that boy Fang Chen to this position. ' Ming Jun asked with calm but still firence expression . Before Ming Ping can reply she continued.
' Do you know , how important this position of a holy son to a sect . This position is only second to sect master , if one day sect master retired from his position holy son will take over to the position of the sect master. And you are just letting it go like that , do you even know what others will think about it. '
Ming Jun asked as she looked at him intensely. Her anger was growing as she more think about this matter.
After she said this , Ming Ping finally said .
' I am really sorry, mother. But shouldn't a holy son should be strongest among young generation , with many good quality and most important who can take over the responsibility of the sect . As for me mother, what qualification do I have neither I am the strongest nor I am capable of taking responsibility of sect . As for others don't you think mother if I become Holy Son of our sect instead of Fang Chen. People will criticize you and father for showing favoritism and not chossing right candidates . ' Ming Ping explained just as he said it . Ming Jun's eyebrows frown as she said with cold voice.
' What qualification you have, you are my only son and that's qualification you need and have . As for others, I want to see if anyone have problem with my and sect master's judgement. '
Ming Jun cleared herself as she tried to calm herself down, not wanting to scold Ming Ping much. Just as she cleared herself, Ming Ping wanted to say something but Ming Jun immediately said cutting his words in mid .
' I don't care what you think, if I didn't saw you at the position of Holy Son at next event. Don't ever come to me and call me mother. ' With these words she left the courtyard, not even giving change to Ming Ping to say bye..
Ming Ping feel her presence was fading
' Seems like mother is very angry this time. '
He thought while smiling bitterly.
Meanwhile..in the cave in the seduled corner of the main sect mountain.
Inside the cave..Ming Jun was sitting on the stone bed in meditation position. She was cultivating ,as she recalled what she said to Ming Ping..
'Did I say too much harsh words to Little Ping..' She thought but her appearance remains unchanged like emotionless doll. But suddenly she snorted and thought.
' What did I say wrong..? If he can't do this much for me... wouldn't it would be good if I make Fang Chen my son. Since Ping thinks Fan Chen is more responsible..'
