Tianzun looked to where the voice came from and saw a little girl with Scarlet Red hair with a little purple. She has Azure eyes and she looks about the same age as Tianzun, 10 years old. She looked at him for a long time with a confused look and he realized that he didn't answer the question he asked.
"I-I'm Yi Tianzun." Tianzun stuttered saying.
"So, Tianzun, what are you doing in this forest? It's very dangerous here."
Tianzun decided to tell her what happened to him and why he was in the forest because she had possibly saved him from hidden dangers if his body was there in the middle of the ground. He could've died from a beast that kills at night. After he had been done telling her what happened she began to tear up.
"W-why would they do that? They even captured your parents and exiled you for a fake reason, there has to be a reason. And didn't they treat you like family before? How could they be so merciless now?" Zhu Xinya said with some tears and a sad face.
Tianzun was startled, he never thought there would be someone who would be so sad for him except for his family. He decided to change the topic to not let such a kind girl be crying and sad any longer. "What about you, why are you in this forest?" Tianzun asked.
Zhu Xinya started crying even more. Tianzun regretted his decision.
"So, it was about 5 years ago and I was an orphan and a beggar. I was struggling to live but then I accidentally bumped into a woman and I apologized to her. but the next day she came to meet me and said that s-she wanted to a-adopt me. I was so happy that I would have a mom and maybe a dad and I said yes, then she took me to her home. It was very big and beautiful and there were a lot of people there and looking at me so I was nervous. She went to a big hall and said that she wanted to adopt me in that hall to the 4 people there whom I later realized was the Clan leader and grand elders. They allowed Mom to adopt me and then we left. After a few months, I grew to love having a mom and a dad and even a grandpa. After a while, I read in a book that moms' Clan is called the Zhu clan and were famous for their strong Lion Soul Beasts. Moms' clan was a Major clan in the Clear Water Kingdom."
'Oh, the Clear Water Kingdom.' Tianzun knew about the Clear Water Kingdom, it was a kingdom nearby to the Sky Wind Kingdom and had about the same strength as the Sky Wind Kingdom. As to why it was called 'Clear Water' Kingdom was because the King of that Kingdom had a title which was 'Clear Water Knight'. Kingdoms were named after their Ruler and after they died and their reign was over, the kingdoms' name would be changed to the next Kings' Title.
"When I was thinking that we would live together forever, the Awakening Ceremony came. I was thinking that I wouldn't disappoint my parents and awaken a strong Soul Beast, I-I awakened a Dark Fire Bird with a talent of Low Rank Stage 2. My parents were very disappointed in me a-and they didn't want me anymore so they tried to engage me to a Direct Descendant of a Major Clan and try to marry me off later because they wanted more connections. So I ran away from there and came to this forest, and with the help of a book I read, I made this safe area." Zhu Xinya said the last sentence with a smile.
"Well don't worry! Who cares if they're not with you, they are just people who abandoned you! You can find new friends and family who will treat you with genuine love! And aren't I here too, we can be best friends!" Tianzun said with some embarrassment.
"Really? We can be best friends? But will you abandon me like what mom and dad did? Zhu Xinya said with a sad face.
"I won't ever do that." Tianzun found out about her character and thought that she was very nice, she even saved him when she didn't need to. And besides, being her friend was the least he could do for her saving him.
"Yay!" Zhu Xinya was very happy, Tianzun was her first friend. Even in the clan, she had no friends.
"Since both of us don't have a home to go to for now, can we go to a nearby City? I have confidence in my strength so if we encounter a wild beast, I can beat it." Tianzun asked.
"But if we do go to a City, what will we do there? We don't have money to even buy some food."
"Actually, I heard that a Junior Soul Beast Academy is recruiting in a nearby City named Green Light City." Tianzun replied.
In the World, there are academies where young Cultivators who aspire to become stronger enroll. An academy is basically a school but the students are divided into 3 positions. An Outer Disciple, An Inner Disciple, and a Core Disciple. There are two types of Academies, the Junior Soul Beast Academy and the Intermediate Soul Beast Academy. The Junior Soul Beast Academy is for People within the lower half of Cultivation Realms and the Intermediate Soul Beast Academy is for People within the upper half of Cultivation Realms. And some powerhouse schools are for people of all Cultivation Realms.
"Oh, what the Academy Called? I might know about it from all the books I read in the Zhu Clan Library."
"Sorry, I don't know, I forgot, I only knew that there was an Academy recruiting because I heard my father talking about it."
"Oh, It's ok, let's just go to Green Light City and find out." Zhu Xinya said with a smile.
"Ok, then let's do that. I know the way to Green Light City, I've been there before."
"Then let's go now!" Zhu Xinya Said Excitedly. She had been in this forest for 2 days already, the only food she had was berries on bushes. She couldn't wait to eat real food.
"No need to rush, it's only 1 hour away from here." Tianzun said.
Tianzun began to walk with Zhu Xinya and leading the way for her to go to the Green Light City. They were walking and staying on alert in case of any wild beasts try to attack them. Fortunately, there were no dangers on the way and they were about 15 minutes until they reached Green Light City. Suddenly, there was something rainbow and black in the sky and Tianzun and Zhu Xinya were confused about this but then, it seemed to be coming closer and closer to them. Now they were scared, if they moved to the left, it came to the left, It seemed like it was following them.
"Tianzun, what's that, it's following us, is it going to kill us?" Zhu Xinya Exclaimed.
"Don't worry, Xinya, I'll protect you." Tianzun was determined to protect her. He went in front of her and took out his sword and took a defensive stance.
The thing was coming closer to them and was close to them now. 20 meters..18 meters.. 15 meters.. 13 meters.. 10 meters.. 8 meters.. 5 meters.. 3 meters.. 1 meter...
"I'll protect you Xinya, don't worry." After those words from Tianzun, something shocking happened. They both fell unconscious and that thing somehow went inside them but still left a small crater behind but no beast came, it seemed like they were somehow scared of going there.
In a place that looked like outer space but empty there were two people there. they were Tianzun and Zhu Xinya, they suddenly awakened and were confused.
"W-Where is this place? What is this place?" Why are we here?" Tianzun had a lot of questions.
"Yeah, what in the world is this place? Why is it so dark here?" Zhu Xinya similarly to Tianzun had a lot of questions.
Suddenly a deep voice interrupted their thoughts.
"Children, I will answer all your questions." The voice said.
After that voice said that, a Majestic beast appeared in the dark, a Dragon! It was a Divine and Mythical beast. It had a rainbow aura similar to Tianzuns' Soul Beast. In fact, it looked like a cooler and older version of Tianzuns' Soul Beast.
"A-a Dragon?!" Tianzun and Zhu Xinya said at the same time.
"Don't forget about me." A voice that belonged to a woman said.
Another Mythical and Divine Beast came out of the dark, a Phoenix! But this Phoenix had Black Flames instead of normal Flames the Myths said.
"A Phoenix!" Tianzun and Zhu Xinya were very shocked now, and Zhu Xinya almost fainted.
The Dragon began talking again. "Children, you might be confused on why we came to you but I will tell you right now."
"To tell you both the truth...
