Wo Shie woke up the next morning stiff as a board as he was sore just getting out of bed. 'I need to start working out again now that I'm back.' He thought to himself while flexing and stretching his body.
He headed downstairs to find the usual morning feast it was just slightly different without Fu Shen there, the air in the room somehow seemed lighter.
Wo Shie put this feeling to the back of his mind as this would be his first real meal in years! He began to put portions of everything on his plate to what seemed like fried pork to fruits and oats.
"Young master Shie we were informed to tell you that young master Fu Shen set a training room up for you down below the castle." One of the housekeepers said to Wo Shie while he engorged himself on the delicious meal.
"Mhm.. got it.." Wo Shie said between filling his face with food. He looked as he had never heard of a thing called decency, or was raised by savages.
"If you need help finding your way let anyone know and they will guide you below." The house keeper said before giving a slight bow and turning to leave.
Wo Shie quickly finished his meal and sat in satisfaction of food for a moment before he started to formulate the things he could and should do.
He couldn't help but think about how he was surrounded by people that all seemed like such good people. However there was just something off he was starting to feel like.
After learning about how his exchange with the enchanted bazaar and the different things money or in his case spirit stones could do. He began to wonder about his purpose as he began to wonder the value of things that only select few would find valuable.
First to mind was the Infinite Eyes sect, he was informed that he had amassed more money than some cities and sects. Seeing the sect and knowing he possessed the Eyes of the Infinite made him wonder if he had more spirit stones than him, and also how much a group like that would profit or be willing to pay for an actual set of the eyes of the infinite.
In the end he started to put those thoughts in the back of his mind due to thoughts of his mother and the value of whatever they were looking for.
He remembered how powerless he was when the masked man arrived before him in the forest, and it made him feel a burning feeling in his chest.
There was only a few thoughts going through his mind as all his thoughts of purpose, the value of things, and his powerless were drowned out by his desire to grow.
Even if he would be powerless in front of his enemy that didn't mean he couldn't make it the highest difficulty possible.
In this moment it was like something clicked in Wo Shie's mind, he couldn't wonder about everyone and everything around him. If there was a plot of he had something of value it shouldn't matter as long as he was strong enough to defend himself, if not he would use his last breath to fight.
His life had been a roller coaster to this point from his perspective, he almost died. He did die according to Fu Shuo and Fu Shen. And every time he began training something new would arise and he'd have a new objective.
Still sitting at the dining hall table seemingly in a daze. The air around Wo Shie began to visible warp.
Still being mainly conscious Wo Shie noticed the new feeling of the space around him while looking at it.
The space seemed to turn into what seem like a grey cloud of dust. Small cracks would appear in the space around him as if there was an ethereal weight cracking the fabric of reality.
As Wo Shies emotions began to fade so did the strength of the area of space surrounding Wo Shie, noticing this Wo Shie began to meditate on that feeling as he crossed his legs and closed his eyes.
As he began meditating the space around him stopped fading back to normal and instead began receding closer to Wo Shie until it became a thin silver line around Wo Shie causing him to glow.
'I don't want to have think about what others are thinking about, I don't want to have to worry about trust or safety… I just want to be strong enough to be happy in peace…' thoughts like these ran through Wo Shies mind as he began comparing every good moment in his life to every bad moment in his life.
He didn't know it but this was his first glimpse into 3 seperate daos that are considered rare among rare daos and one common dao.
It would normally be considered extremely rare or prodigal for someone as young as Wo Shie to comprehend any type of dao unless he had an amazing background, still only the most brightest of geniuses or blessed treasures would have these types of insights available at his level.
His strong emotion had ignited a desire to be able to control his environment and in reflection he realized If he couldn't control his environment and was in control of himself.
After realizing this is when the cloud first appeared around Wo Shie as it felt like he had opened a floodgate of emotion, and acceptance.
He had heard people that knew of what he'd gone through say sorry, and it wasn't his fault. But in this moment he didn't care he took responsibility, from this moment forward anything he experienced he would be willing to stand by and say it was his fault.
Wo Shie began to peer into the daos of control, chaos and order. The thin silver line glowing around shined brightly as it began to noticeably spin along outlining Wo Shie making him look like a god seated at a feast.
The line began to slowly condense further into Wo Shie causing the insides of his body to glow until finally the light fully condensed in the middle of his torso before fading away completely as Wo Shie remained in meditation.
