Chapter 55: What Do You Want
Wu Wang. This was my twin brother and a genius in his own right. The day he was born, he was already a Core formation realm expert. To ascend to the immortal realm, he was sent down to the lower realm from a young age, and today just happened to be the day he ascended to the immortal realm.
Currently, as a level 1 Saint, he was already powerful enough to fight those at level 10 Saint King. He had this cocky and arrogant smile as he looked at his protector. From a young age, his protector was with him, teaching him, and ensuring he didn't make bad moves that could damage his future. His protector of course also protected him, ensuring that he was alive.
"Congratulation my lord, You have ascended." The protector said with a bow. With hands behind his back, Wu Wang looked at the protector, he had this cocky aura about him before he went on to speak.
"Take me home, I wish to join the True Immortal Academy as soon as possible." He ordered, to which the protector nodded, before taking him and flying off toward the Realm Of The Fallen Phoenix.
This is said to be where the Primordial Phoenix fell, it is also where the Wu Clan took up roots. The Realm Of The Fallen Phoenix held an infinite number of realms, and among this realm is where the Wu clan ancestor was the Realm King.
The Blue Crystal Realm. Wu Wang's eyes were bright seeing his home, the last time he had been there was when he was just a few years old. But it has been 30 years since then, even so, he remembered everything from when he was born.
"Royal father, I have returned." Wu Wang paid his respect while standing before the throne where his father sat. Wu Wang looked up, and couldn't help but freeze seeing the regret and disappointment within his father's eyes. he was confused, what was with that look?
"Welcome back... but I would have to send you back out." His father said much to Wu Wang's confusion,
"I need you to go get your mother. Your elder brother, Wu Xian has ascended to the immortal realm. I had set her to go get him, yet had cut off the clan and refused to return." His father said with a sigh, making Wu Wang's eyes widen.
He was truly shocked, but after a moment his shock turned into... rage. He hated his mother, from birth, she favored his elder brother. Every time she held him, she never truly looked at him. He always felt like her second choice, as if she would rather have that trash over her. So, he hated her. He stopped talking to her, he stayed away from her.
Now that his elder brother popped up, what did she do? She abandoned the family and ran to that trash? It's always that trash, and never him.
"Just let her be with that trash then." Wu Xang said unhappily. His father's face turned dark in rage, he slammed the armrest while pressure pressed down upon Wu Wang, causing him to feel like a universe was pressing down upon his shoulders.
"We are a family, and family sticks together through anything. Just because your brother was trash doesn't mean we forget his existence. He is still family. We had made our mistakes in the past by trying to kill him, but we have broken past that." He growled, to which Wu Wang fearfully nodded, causing the pressure to disappear.
"... Sorry, I just want to move past this. You and Wu Xian are my children, I love you both equally. My deepest shame was that I couldn't do more to protect my family." He said with a shameful sigh, which made Wu Wang's heart melt. Seeing his loving father so troubled about this, he wanted to do his best to lessen the burden. His father was always a strong man, yet seeing him like this hurt him.
"... I will go do my best." Wu Wang said with a sigh, he might not like his mother. But he had to agree with his father. Clans as big as theirs had to stay together, they had to remain united, and as one. They had made their mistakes in the past, but nothing is unfixable...
"Should you not have told him about Wu Xian's talent?" A man stepped from behind the clan head throne once Wu Wang left. Wu Wang's father just sat back, lost in thought.
"Wu Wang is that weird state where nothing can reach him, and he could reach nothing. This is the best moment to get her back... I should have gone with her." He said with a sigh. When his wife had left, he should have gone with her to ensure things went smoothly, but he thought she was loyal to the clan. Now, the clan was not in a good position, as many of its higher-ups were scared that someone would come knocking on their doors for revenge.
Within the realm of fairies, Yun Yun sat on her flower with a deep pout. But after some time, she just jumped out the flower and kicked it to vent her anger... but this ended up in her hurting herself, causing her to jump up and down nonstop while holding her foot.
"Damn!" She couldn't help but curse, but after a moment, she froze. Her eyes narrowed for a moment before her beautiful blue eyes suddenly went blank. The Dao of divination took effect on its own, showing an event that was about to befall this world.
"The world is adapting faster than expected... I thought I wouldn't live long enough to see the return of the gods and primordial." She said while looking towards the realm of the gods, she waved her hands, summoning a mirror that showed her the scene of Xiao Lingxi
"I see... so you're the reincarnation of The Ancestral God." Yun Yun said in shock, the strongest of all of the primordials and gods, the strongest being amongst them, the Ancestral God was a being. She was the first being the heaven birth, but one couldn't say she was born by the heavens. It was more like she and the heavens were one of the same, it could be said that she was the consciousness of the heavens.
So, how did she die? Yun Yun didn't know, but if Yun Yun had to be a part of the harem, the heavens had to be a part of the harem as well.
"The heavens consciousness has reincarnated when the reincarnation awakens, the gateways to the higher heavens would be opened, while at the same time, the gods would return." Yun Yun said calmly, the air went quiet at her words,
"Great work, I shall have her also serve my love. Go on and create a list of all of the females around him, some would be maids, while others be servants. Those worthy can be his wife." A gentle, and enchanting voice that could give a boner to a skeleton sounded, to which Yun Yun just snorted while going on to unwillingly make the list. As a loser, the other party had all right to push her around.
When I took my first loss, she was sneering, yet the same person was pushing her around, she never felt more wronged than now. But as a loser, her pride would not allow her to act shameless...
"What are you doing?" My mother asked Xia Qingyue who was currently sitting before the pond, where she was dropping her blood into.
"I want to locate my mother... I'm more than capable enough to locate her. but I want to first find Xia Yuanba." Xia Qingyue said with a faint smile, to which my mother nodded slightly. For a moment, they just sat there, no words being said.
"It's not a good thing to keep your feelings frozen like they are... I don't know much about your husband, but I'm sure no man would be happy seeing their wife closer to another man than them." My mother said, causing Xia Qingyue to lower her head. This has been something that has been on her mind for a long time.
Should she divorce her husband for another man? No matter how she saw it, it looked wrong on so many levels. So, she just froze her feelings. But even when her feelings are frozen, for some reason she is just so relaxed and free around me. Maybe it was the fact it was pointless to hide before me, so she just stopped trying to put up an act. Maybe it was the fact I couldn't care less for her beauty and would treat her equally as any average-looking woman. Whatever it was, it made her feel like she didn't have to put up any form of an image.
Try to rival me? That was something she set out to do on her own, and even that she had put aside when she realized she had reached me. Sure at times she wants to punch me black and blue, but at times she kind of enjoys the chaos I create, as she understands it and can enjoy it.
"I know... keeping them frozen isn't helping anyone, it's just avoiding the problem. I will try and speak to Yun Che about this matter." She said with a sigh, with Yun Che's personality, she was scared that he might try and get revenge, Yun Che might even see this as someone stealing his woman and giving him a green hat.
"You're a sweet girl... But that can be so easily used to manipulate you." My mother said with a sigh, to which Xia Qingyue blushed in shame. For her father, she never spoke out about the arranged marriage although deep down she didn't want it. For her family, she put all of her attention into becoming an expert.
For me, she pushed herself so she could one day reach me and stand as a friend. Every major choice she made in her life was because of others, although becoming an expert for the sake of her family was something she wanted... but that was mainly because it hurt her seeing her family so sad and broken. If her brother and father could have acted at least normally around her, then although she would have missed her mother, it would never be to such a level of shutting herself from the world.
My mother's words made her question herself for the first time, and forget Yun Che, her family, and even Me. What did she want? The answer to this question was... she didn't know. For too long she put her attention on others, but never herself, and never doing something that she might love.
"What does Xia Qingyue want? Do you love Wu Xian because he has feelings for you, or do you love him because you do? Do you even want to be married? I think those who walk the ice path should know their feelings and goals. I don't know why I think this, but I feel like the deeper they know themselves, the more free they are, allowing them to go without the need to show emotions as much... but thats a theory." She siad while looking towards the sky, while Xia Qingyue stood up, not finishing the ritual to find her brother.
She had tears in her eyes, which caused my mother to jump up in horror not expecting her words to make her cry. She panicked, butt Xia Qingyue shook her head.
"I need to go find myself... I know more about others than myself." She said with some tears, the realization that she never really put herself first kind of hurt. Has she ever lived? The closest she had ever come to doing something she wanted was when relaxing.
But even that, that was because I told her to take some time to relax and not overwork herself. And even then, she never truly relaxed, which forced me to make her work until all she wanted to do was just sit back and rest. That was the only form of fun she ever had, and it made her realize why she fell in love with me.
She fell in love with how free I was. I put myself first, not giving a damn about what others thought or did. She fell in love with the freedom to do whatever the hell I wanted, arrogance that seemingly grew before the strong, but disappeared before the weak when in fact that arrogance remained the same before the strong and weak.
She wanted to be like me, so she pushed herself to reach that peak. Even after her second physique awakened, although her pride grew... couldn't truly grow before me. In the end, her personality remained the same. The person she wanted to reach became the very thing limiting her growth. In the back of her head, she would always think she wasn't me, and that she would never match up to me.
She looked at her palms for some time, before she just disappeared, much to my mother's horror who thought she said something wrong. She had noticed how Xia Qingyue was a people pleaser, she wanted those around her to be happy. So, she tried speaking up to see what XIa Qingyue wanted.
"leave her, she needs this," Jasmine said while appearing, taking the role Xia Qingyue was doing to locate her brother. She should locate everyone, and from there find a chance to reunite.
