Chapter 2: Patriarch Duan Ming
At Ancient Dragon Burial an old man stood up steady in the air, giving a dangerous aura to every Long soldier and worker.
'Shoo! Shoo!'
Two silhouettes appear out of nowhere then bow to the old man.
"Patriarch, we do found the place of that thief but unfortunately, he does have dimension scroll before we know it he activated it and escape, but before he escapes I manage to kill him." Elder Two said.
Elder two and elder three were enduring the pressure from the patriarch killing intent to the point that they couldn't breathe.
"Hmph! Meaning you're not able to retrieve those boxes? both of you just pray that inside those boxes are just ordinary, because if not, both of you will taste my wrath." Long Jin said as he stands while his hands are resting at the back.
One of the soldiers jo Joyously running towards them and quickly informs them that they have dug up a new set of the box with unknown markings.
Patriarch Long Jin turns to a streak of light due to his movement technique and quickly went to the place where the said boxes are.
The hope of elder two and elder three lights up, their eyes earlier was in weary but now it turns circle as a moon. Then the two went to the same place.
"Hahaha! Hahaha! I! Long Jin! have been blessed by heaven! I found the remains of my ancestor Long Zhi Wang!" Long Jin said as he brandished the exquisite sword that covers by fire.
The smile of Long Jin was over his ears nothing much to a child given toys as a gift.
Long Zhi Wang was the Monarch in his era and revered as the fourth of the Strongest Lords. Long Zhi Wang was just mediocre from the start and just a son of the maid and lowly soldier of the Long Clan branch family. But for some reason, his life change in a day, what he mentioned was he was acknowledged by a foreign master to be his disciple and teach him many things. Later on, he gets the title of Huolong Zhi Wang or King of Fire dragons.
.....
If Long Jin's happiness is over his ears, Long Jiang was in dismay at what he found out inside the box.
"Sh*t! I've struggled so far just to open all these damn boxes! yet, what I can see are all rusty things! sigh, am I destined to die here?"
He doesn't know what he needs to do, even try to sit on the ground takes him forever due to his condition.
Then what he noticed inside the box was a small gold plate, the size of a baby's palm, and among the items in the box that's the only thing that did not ravage by the time.
There still blood lingers on his fingers, as he bit it to take ownership of the space ring earlier. This time when he touches the gold plate it activated the gold plate like he established the ownership of it.
The gold plate glowed and a red aura gushed out from it, that aura rapidly engulfed his body. Long Jiang tried to throw the plate but it was like glued on his palm also the gold plate is seemingly melting.
"What's happening!?" He feared for this unknown qi when his body was fully engulfed by the red qi his vision was changed. Then he heard a voice.
"Kiddo! Congratulations on obtaining my legacy tablet, who would have thought that when Long Zhi Wang boy had perished in this world, those lowly ants been mistaken me as an ordinary toy! sigh, so disrespectful and ungrateful brats! Alas! Another Dragon boy found my legacy tablet, I hope you've much smarter than Zhi Wang boy and attain m... Ahem! Ahem!."
The fire dragon stop because he noticed Long Jiang's countenance his big eyes were blinking, a sign that he can't understand what's going on.
"Kiddo! I'm Huo Shen Long! What's your name?"
"I'm called Long Jiang, senior Huo Shen Long"
" Hahaha! you're so modest, just call me Master Huo it's fine. Did you know HuoLong Zhi Wang?"
Long Jiang pondered for a moment and tried to recall that name. " I'm sorry Senior Huo but I can't remember or known that name."
"Huh!? Sigh, old folks did not teach the young generation to look back in the past. Oh! wait a moment, Where is this place? and what year today?" Dragon's curious ask.
"Today is the month of XXXX and the year of XXXX. We are currently inside of the back forest of Rouge town of Sheep's Horn City."
"Rouge Town?! Sheep's Horn City? Oh! How come I'm in the lower realm? well, it doesn't matter, it has been 10,000 years have passed. So it's natural you don't hear him. But don't worry, I will help you achieve the apex of cultivation and help you achieved the revenge shouting by your heart." Fire Dragon said.
"Huh? How w!?" He wasn't able to finish his words when he suddenly felt unbearable pain in his body.
As the gold plate fully softens, it enters his body flows through his veins. The melted gold plate circulates in his body like lava.
Long Jiang smashing his fist on the ground as he screams on top of his lungs.
Afterward, he squeezes his belly tightly because the soft golden plate is now at his broken dantian. Earlier the molten plate circulates his veins to clearing any substances that blocking his meridian, and now, the soft golden plate is repairing his dantian not only that, it also expanding its capacity.
Inside the black forest, a disturbing sound of screams of a young man echoed like a pig being butchers.
After an hour passed, then that pain Long Jiang suffers is finally subsided. He is lying flat on the ground, grasping his breathing, and a foul substance that carries unbearable smell is gushing out from his pores.
.....
It's still early morning the Rouge Town is still quiet but boisterous sounds came from the Duan Clan residence, Duan Ming's room to be precise, alarms everyone.
Thereupon a loud boom an old man is steady standing in the air that seemingly his feet are on the ground.
"Hahaha! It's a success! I have been stepped into Grandmaster Stage! Hahaha!. Oh, it also brooks my roof. Hahaha, well it doesn't matter."
The old man is Patriarch Duan Ming, he is been in seclusion for over a year to break through from the peak of the Master Stage stage into the Grandmaster Stage.
" Congratulations, Patriarch!"
Everyone in the residence bow and cupped their hands.
"Hahaha! Today is a very joyous day of my life, thanks to our ancestors and my benefactor." Happily voice of Duan Ming, then he descends.
"Father, congratulations on your breakthrough. Our clan status will truly be elevated." Duan Ching said.
"That's is right grandpa, those who look down on us will be trampled by me!" Duan Chin said.
"A kind of, hahaha! Now let's celebrate the success, hmm? where is Jiang'er?" Duan Ming curiously asks.
When the Patriarch said these words, all the people who came in were in silence while looking to his son and grandson.
Patriarch Ming was in alarm, he knows from the start that his son Duan Ching was jealous of Long Jiang.
"Duan Ching! What did you do??"
A pressure aura gushed out from Duan Ming that gives pressure to those nearby with him.
"Fa..Fa... Father, I, I, I didn't do anything" Duan Ching denied, his wrongdoing while shaking from fear.
In a second a quick hand of Patriarch Duan Ming hit in the face of Duan Ching.
Pak!
A thick slap hits Duan Ching's cheeks.
"Will you tell me what happened or not? maybe you want to be cripple first before I will know the truth?"
Everyone was shocked by the patriarch's words, they didn't imagine how important Long Jiang to the patriarch, to the extent he is willing to cripple or even kill his only son.
....
Inside the black forest, three bodies are lying on the ground. Suddenly, a young boy stood up in an awe expression.
"Hahaha! I can now move like a normal person!" This is also a joyous day for him, this day is like his second birthday.
After the smell of a foul odor came from him, he quickly went to splash himself to the river.
