Capítulo 28: Chapter 25- Not Acting Like a Young Master Would…. He Was The One

What the guards thought was right actually.

Longmin might have acknowledged his status as a young master of the Wu Clan, but he didn't feel like he was on the inside.

Ever since that incident happened six years ago, his father became distant towards him. No, even before that his father had favored Longwei more than him.

It's just that the incident had been a catalyst for his more distant behavior.

During those few months when he was in that dark cell, he didn't know how or what to feel like. He had no idea of what had occurred, one minute he was playing alongside Longwei, and the next he was next to a pile of corpses, with his entire body drenched in blood.

He had asked his granduncle for what had happened to him since his father wouldn't even look at him, but Xenchi, his granduncle, just said when he grew older he would tell him and that there was a seal within his soul that would prevent him from 'losing control'.

He went to Longwei and asked if he saw what had happened to him, but he said he didn't remember anything.

It was only when Longmin started learning about cultivation did he realized that his granduncle or father must have erased Longwei's memories of what had happened.

But strange thing was, they didn't for the other clan members who saw him, and the rumor got out that he had gone mad and killed several servants in the Wu Clan.

For around two years that rumor circulated while he was locked up in that dark cell. He was only let out when he was tested for his Spirit Root and began cultivating.

He had also inherited the Mystical Dao Eyes, which was unique to Wu Clan's bloodline at that time.

He was then placed on the Formation Division's mountain to live and have the Head Elder teach him runes since one of the Mystical Dao Eyes properties was the ability to easily create and comprehend runes inscriptions and formations.

He wasn't allowed to be in contact with people outside of the mountain or even people on the mountain. The only person he saw was his teacher the Head Elder of the Formation Division, and his brother Longwei, who was staying on the Battle Division's mountain after gaining the 3rd ranked Legendary Physique, the Dao Physique. He also had the Battle Division Head Elder as his teacher.

After two more years of solitude, he was able to leave the mountain and visit anywhere within the Wu Clan, but he wasn't allowed outside.

Those two years in that dark cell and two more alone on that mountain with barely anyone to talk to, made him develop a reclusive nature.

He had read books on Buddhism in the library, where they emphasize a calm state of mind and freedom from worldly desires. That had a deep influence on him as young as he was, and his mindset began to develop with such thoughts in his mind.

When he started interacting with the members of the Wu Clan, there were times when he would walk by a group and they would start to whisper about the events behind his back. Calling him things like a demon or spawn from hell.

That just made him sink further and further into Buddhist teachings, trying not to be affected by their words and keep a positive state of mind.

He swore to himself that he would never let an incident like that happen again. Since he didn't know what the cause was he made a promise that he would absolutely not get angry or lash out at anyone.

It reached the point where if he heard someone mocking him, he would just turn and smile at the person.

The only exception where he would let his emotions get the best of him was when Longwei provoked him into an argument or a sparring match.

Eventually, the rumor died down and people started to remember that he was their young master, and could very likely be killed for their insults.

That, and the fact that Longwei would go around in his disguise, slapping people left and right if he ever heard someone badmouthing his little brother Longmin. That method had actually been too effective, as people would just start randomly praising Longmin while fearing that Longwei might be next to them in disguise.

So Longwei's answer had actually been right when he said that Longmin was the cause of him disguising his appearance. It's just that Longwei had managed to become addicted to it, and when he couldn't find people in the clan badmouthing Longmin to harass them, he went outside the clan to look for some.

Thus getting hooked on savagely beating up arrogant debauchees.

----

Ever so often, the Sparrow would flap its wings, carrying the group through the outer region and traveling at extreme speeds towards the northeastern area of the inner region.

Longmin was meditating throughout the journey but would be interrupted by Longwei once in a while to be shown some old city ruins or some of Pocket Realm's amazing landscapes.

The Sparrow was flying over a city of ruins and Longwei nudge Longmin and said, "Little brother look, this city is bigger than the one's we've passed before, there's even a half-collapsed palace."

Longmin had an annoyed look on his face but he still open his eyes and looked.

After glancing for a few seconds he just went back to meditating.

Seeing his reaction Longwei became fed up with his unresponsiveness and asked, "What exactly are you up to? Is this really the time for you to be meditating?"

While saying that, Longwei began nudging Longmin in his side with his elbow.

Annoyed, Longmin open his eyes and glared at Longwei.

"Quit it!"

Longwei stopped, then asked, "Why are you meditating? Father finally allowed you to leave the clan and this is what you chose to do. Did getting my ass whipped by granduncle done for you to ignore me."

Longmin's annoyance faded away when he heard that.

"There's a good reason why I was meditating. Don't you think this aura within the Pocket Realm is strange?"

"Aside from it being similar to Spiritual Qi, I don't sense anything off about it," responded Longwei.

Longmin went into deep thought when he heard Longwei's words.

After a while, he changed the topic and asked, "What were the Crescent Moon Sect planning, why did they target us?"

Longwei realized that Longmin was changing the subject, but he didn't pursue it.

He answered his question by saying, "They're just a bunch of clowns dancing around. They think they could fool everyone into thinking that someone was trying to pit them against us, but it was them all along. Their the ones who were egging on the disciples in the background and that Elder's acting was just horrendous to watch."

Longwei then turned to Longmin and asked, "Do you remember when I was injured three years ago in that tournament, by that Crescent Moon Sect disciple?"

Longmin nodded his head and said, "I remember."

Longwei gritted his teeth and said, "Well, that wasn't a damn accident! It was all planned by the Crescent Moon Sect. They somehow found out that I would be there in my disguise and set everything up. That's why father went to their sect in person to give them a warning."

Longwei then asked, "Were you able to spot who said those words about you?"

Longmin thought back to that young man who was coldly staring at him and nodded his head.

Longwei said, "He was the disciple that had attacked me in the tournament. He must have been seething with anger about his master's crippled foundation, that he said those words. From the looks of it, they weren't planned, he wasn't supposed to have said anything and engaged in the disciples' gossips, but he did, and brought the spotlight onto the Crescent Moon Sect. I immediately realized that and feigned ignorance about him and put more spotlight on them by saying I would revoke their rights to enter the Pocket Realm. But as soon as I said that, they must have scrapped their original plan, and went to make it look like they were the victim of some conspiracy."

Longwei laughed coldly then continued.

"Little brother, you asked me why they were targeting us and what they're planning right? I'll tell you the reason why, it's because their patriarch is in the middle of a breakthrough."

Hearing that Longmin's eyebrows rose slightly.

The two bodyguards who were silently listening in the back couldn't help but have a stunned look on their faces while trying to process how Longwei came to such a conclusion.

It was when Longmin spoke, did they remember what they were tasked to help the young masters get.

"They're after the Heavenly Pallet."

Longwei nodded his head and said, "That's right, the Heavenly Pallet can increase their patriarch's chance of a breakthrough into the Saint realm by thirty percent. However, they must have caught wind that we were entering the Pocket Realm for the same thing, and set about defaming us and the Wu Clan, in order to discourage us from entering." Longwei paused, then asked.

"This Pocket Realm might be bigger out of the three and contain more natural treasures, but how did you know that a Heavenly Pallet would appear? After all, they take a thousand years to form. Did you read it in a book?"

Longwei had on a frown as he asked that.

Longmin shook his head and answered, "When granduncle was giving me the last Heavenly Pallet in the clan, he just casually mentioned that one would likely appear in this Pocket Realm."

Longwei's frown got deeper as he muttered to himself, "That old fogy, what is he planning by putting such things in my little brother's head?"

"Do you think he said that, knowing I would use coming to the Yellow Leaf Pocket Realm as an excuse to get out of the clan? If so he must have known that the Crescent Moon Sect is after the Heavenly Pallet." Longmin said.

Longwei shrug and responded, "I don't know what that old fart is up to.."

His eyes then turn cold and with a voice that could sever nail and chop iron he said,

"But I do know that no one is going to take what's already mine, absolutely no one."

As the Sparrow continue to fly off towards the Spring of Incarnation, a couple of kilometers behind it was a medium-sized, high-grade magic vessel in the shape of a boat.

On the bow of the magic vessel stood the lonely figure of a young man, that wore the Crescent Moon Sect's robes.

His face was tranquil while his arms were held behind his back, with the wind blowing through his clothes and hair.

Everything was ordinary, except for the gagging smell in the wind, and the five mutilated bodies of the other Crescent Moon Sect disciples behind him.

This supposed disciple of the Crescent Moon Sect was the same disciple that had slipped up and said those words about Longmin.

He was the one that Longwei and Longmin saw coldly staring at them, at the Pocket Realm's entrance.

And he was the one that they and elder Sun didn't notice was staring at them, ever since they left the Wu Clan, and teleported away from Lou Fu City.

He was the one.

----------------------------

Somewhere in the northeastern area of the inner region, there was a large ruin palace surrounded by mountains and tall trees. At the front, several pavilions and courtyards were scattered about, practically in rubles with vines and bushes covering them. Walking through here, someone would be able to reach what was supposed to be the back of the palace.

Passing through the arching doorway and then turning a hard right, the spectacular sight of a natural spring would enter one's view.

As the water seep through the mountain rocks, it created a waterfall that splashed onto the large boulders in the two acres wide pond below it.

The large pond glowed an orange hue as the four suns high in the sky blared their light rays onto it, a rainbow had also formed across the waterfall giving it an otherworldly feeling.

Within the forest trees surrounding the pond, howls of demonic beasts would ring out from time to time.

Some distance away from the edge of the large pond the two black-robed bodyguards were seated cross-legged on top of two peak tier rank 3 demonic beasts, with the pond to the backs.

Aside from the large Sparrow, the other demonic beast was a crimson red salamander. As it lay there its scaled body was around four hundred and fifty meters long, with sharp claws that casually dug into the hard grassy ground below it.

As the sounds of demonic beast echo from the forest, the bodyguards were calmly sitting there with their eyes closed, but the two demonic beasts would shift their gaze towards the forest trees, ready to attack anything that came out.

On some rocks, at the edge of the pond, several pieces of garments could be seen thrown over them.

In front of the waterfall, on top of a rock, sat Longmin butt naked.

His eyes were closed as the strange aura in the Pocket Realm took on the shape of a swirling wormhole that surrounded him.

The strange aura that permeated the entire Pocket Realm was also within this pond, but the purity of this strange energy within it was at least a hundredfolds purer than the energy outside.

Longmin inhaled, and a stream of the strange energy from within the pond swirled around him, before entering his nostrils. Using his Spiritual Sense Longmin guided the stream of strange energy through his meridians by following a certain path to reach his dantian.

Within Longmin's dantian was a dark void-like space, that had a gigantic circular rune formation with several symbols in the center. At the edge of the formation were nine smaller runes with four of them being taken up by four huge golden pillars. Each pillar had rune inscriptions on them that pulsated with power as the condensed Spiritual Qi inside of them circulated.

These golden pillars were known as Qi Pillars, they were created by condensing the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth together. After condensing the first three, one would be considered an early-stage Foundation realm cultivator, condensing the sixth and ninth, one would be considered a mid-stage and late-stage Foundation realm cultivator. In the Qi Gathering realm, a disciple would start to gather the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth within their dantian's Qi Sea, after progressing to the 9th level they would then develop their Spiritual Strength and used it to condense all of the Spiritual Qi gathered so far into the first Qi Pillar, thus entering the early stage of the Foundation Building realm.

The time spent for a normal disciple to go about doing this was around six to seven years. Geniuses with natural cultivation talent on par with Longmin and Longwei were able to complete this process in just four years.

Upon entering the Foundation Building realm, a disciple would move on from naturally absorbing Spiritual Qi, to using a cultivation technique.

The reason for this is that Spiritual Qi absorption in the Foundation realm is a lot more demanding than in the Qi Gathering Realm. Qi Realm disciples' bodies weren't able to handle the strain posed by the strength of a cultivation method's Spiritual Qi absorbing process, as their body was just introduced to Qi and hadn't yet gotten used to it.

The types of cultivation methods weak to strong are, Earth-level, Saint-level, and Heaven-level. These levels are further sub-divided into low-grade, mid-grade, and high-grade. Every cultivation method also has its own unique techniques and Daoist magic known as complementary techniques.

The more powerful a cultivation method was the faster a disciple's Spiritual Qi absorption and cultivation speed would be. The Qi that's absorbed would be a lot purer as well.

Longmin's cultivation methods, both the Emperor's Tactics Manual and Seven Daos Runes scripture, were Saint-level cultivation methods along with the other Legacy Techniques in the Wu Clan.

He was currently using the Seven Daos Rune Scripture to absorb the strange energy from the pond. As the stream entered into his dantian he used his Spiritual Sense to guide it towards his fourth Qi Pillar.

Looking at it, one could tell that it was slightly shorter in height than the other three and it looked a little unstable as well. As the strange energy entered into his fourth Qi Pillar it trembled for a moment before it actively started to suck in the strange energy.

The height of the fourth Qi Pillar would increase as it continued to greedily absorb the strange energy. When it reached the same height as the other three the suction force it emitted stopped and then it started to shimmer in soft golden light.

Seeing this Longmin cut the flow of the strange energy, then with a thought from him, his Spiritual Sense cluster together to form a soul projection that slowly floated in the dark void.

Longmin's soul projection had his original appearance, but since it was just a projection, the only color that was visible aside from the black and white were the swirling blue and gold runes within his eyes.

Those eyes were curiously looking between his fourth Qi Pillar and the other three.

He then glanced down at the massive red rune down below.

After a while of silently observing, Longmin thought to himself, 'There's no change. I thought condensing one of my Qi Pillar with this energy would lead to some kind of change within my Qi Pillar, but it's no different than using Spiritual Qi. Maybe it's due to the fact that I had already condensed a third of my Qi Pillar with Spiritual Qi before finishing it with this strange energy. I wonder what would happen if I condense my fifth Qi Pillar entirely of this energy, would there be a change then?'

As Longmin thought this, he looked over to the rune next to his fourth Qi Pillar, then with a swing of his arm, he sent the stream of energy towards it.

After the energy entered the rune it started to condense into the base of his fifth Qi Pillar, albeit rather slowly.

Longmin then thought to himself again, 'It would take a while for me to condense my fifth Qi Pillar, and the Pocket realm is only opened for a full day. If I stay here for that entire time and solely focus on cultivating maybe I'll be able to condense about 2/5 of it, but I can't do that, brother and I have already decided to explore the Pocket Realm together, so spending all my time doing this would be a waste, especially if it turns out to be a fruitless endeavor.'

Longmin's soul projection had on a deep frown.

He wanted to figure out why this energy felt so strange to him, ever since he stepped into the Pocket Realm he just had this nagging feeling deep down that made him unsettled.

His brother hadn't felt anything off about the energy, but Longmin could guess why.

All though it was small, he was still able to notice that after absorbing the strange energy, a sliver of it would force itself from his control and head towards his granduncle's runic seal.

He wasn't talking about the one below him, this red rune was a product of the Seven Daos Rune scripture he cultivated, the one he was talking about was the one located in his soul.

Longmin glance at his fifth Qi Pillar that already had a corner of its base forming before he closed his eyes and vanish.

The space between the eyebrows was where a person's Sea of Consciousness and soul reside.

Longmin appeared in that location and looked around.

White clusters of fog were all around him, from time to time they would show images of his bitter-sweet memories.

With familiarity Longmin began to float through the fog, glancing ever so often at the images to his lift and right. After a while, he stopped in the depths of his Sea of Consciousness and waved his hand.

The fog that was within his surroundings began to move away on its own. When Longmin's vision became clear, what appeared before his eyes was a two hundred meters large semi-transparent version of himself.

It was his soul.

Longmin's soul was seated cross-leg with its hands forming a circle above its dantian as if it was in meditation.

Aside from its massive size, one striking feature that stood out on its large body, was the rune on its forehead that flashed in multi-colored light.
