I turned my head around and saw a white haired girl with a cold gaze. She wore an elegant daoist robe that was white in color, matching her hair.

It was my sister, Shen Liuyan.

"Thankyou, sister Liuyan. You too, congratulations on reaching the perfection stage of the Immortal King Realm." I said, congratulating her.

Ever since she was taken in by our clan, she has always been a loner. All she did was train all day and night, and since we're already broken through the bounds of mortality, activities like sleeping or eating didn't become necessary anymore.

But that doesn't explain why she would cultivate day and night nonstop. I could understand if she wanted to take revenge, but isn't the Phoenix that killed her father dead already?

But I couldn't criticize her, for I am also cultivating nonstop for the sake of my revenge. My revenge has already become my mental demon.

And she's way younger than me, yet our cultivation is just one realm apart from each other. I thought my talent was a cheat that I gained from being reincarnated, but I guess I was just being naive. I heard there are tons of geniuses like me on other sects and clans too.

"Thankyou, brother Xingyu. I came here to inform you that Lord father has called us. Now, let us go." Liuyan said, indifferent as ever.

After that, we walked side by side towards the clan hall.

I wonder why father has called us. Is it because we broke through at the same time? Did he call to congratulate us?

After a few minutes, we arrived at the clan hall.

The hall was rather big. It's far bigger than the Heroes' Temple.

Each side has a huge pillar supporting them, and golden dragon statues were coiling each said pillars.

At the other end of a huge door, an imposing throne stood. And sitting on that throne was father.

Father excluded a mighty suffocating aura. Even I, an Immortal Emperor Realm cultivator, found it hard to breath infront of him. It felt like I was being crushed by an entire galaxy.

"Cough!"

"Cough!!!"

Thud!

Both me and Liuyan coughed blood and fell into the floor. We found it hard to even stand up.

Father is really strong. I heard he's one of the strongest beings in the whole universe.

At the age of 3000, he once destroyed an entire stellar super cluster. It was around four hundred thousand years ago. A time when he was still courting my mother.

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

His actions back then was to prove to the Wei Imperial Clan that he was worthy of being my mother's husband.

If you're wondering why I know that, it was because I heard the clan elders and disciples gossiping about it.

Mother also confirmed that it was true. She used to tell me stories about their past, and I truly enjoyed listening to her.

I wonder what realm they both are now?

"My children, you both have already grown up! Any normal Immortal Emperor realm masters would've already passed out when facing my unoppressed aura. However, you two only fell into the ground and coughed blood! I'm really impressed." father said with a delighted tone.

As he said that, the oppressive aura vanished, making us relieved. That was one hell of an experience.

And here I thought that I was already strong. What a naive thought. If I ever encounter someone as strong or even slightly weaker than father, wouldn't I just become an immobile pig waiting to be chopped to death?

Hmph! I still have to get stronger. I wouldn't be able to achieve my revenge in my current strength.

I don't even know which world was the Everglade Kingdom located. I atleast have to become stronger to the point that I can find it's exact location.

"Thankyou, father. You really caught us off guard." I stood and said.

"I second that.. cough!" Liuyan added.

"Hahahaha! Sorry for that. Anyways, congratulations to both of you in your breakthrough." said father.

"Thankyou, father." Liuyan and I said in unison. We clasped our fists and bowed.

"No need to be so formal. Now let's get to the point. Since you both have already reached such a high realm, I will give you both a reward."

We were both surprised, however, before we could reply, father continued.

"First, Liuyan. You already have a sword made out of a Divine Phoenix's corpse, however, I noticed that you have a talent in dual sword wielding, so I will give you this."

Father said as he took out an orange sword from his spatial storage.

The sword looked simple at first glance, however, I later realized that the sword is far from simple. I could feel a divine and eternal aura within the sword, but I couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was.

"This is the Perpetual Flame Sword. Within this sword is Vesta's Eternal Flame, also known as the Vestal Fire. It is very hard to defend against, and is near impossible to extinguish. Since you're suitable with the Element of Fire, I will give this to you."

Liuyan's eyes widened in surprise, then, tears began to flow from them.

She recieved the sword and then began to kneel.

" Thankyou, father! I will definitely not waste such a good treasure you have given me!"

"Silly girl, you don't have to kneel. Stand up. Isn't it natural for a father to gift something to his daughter?"

Hearing those words, Liuyan couldn't help but smile. She then said, "Yes, father."

"Good girl. Now then, Xingyu, you're next."

Father said as he retrieved a large circular mirror from his spatial storage.

It's size is about the same as an average person.

"A mirror?" I mumbled.

"This is the Demonic Mirror of Gluttony. It's strength is based on the user. If the user is weak, the mirror will obviously also become weak. On the other hand, if the user is strong, the mirror will also be strong."

Father continued.

"That mirror has the ability to consume most of everything, and convert those into the user's own power. It can consume energy, materials, and even souls. However, it cannot consume living beings. Mirrors can't eat people. Since the Mirror of Gluttony is also a mirror, then it, too, cannot consume people, or any living being in general."

What the.. What an overpowered mirror!! This is got to be a cheat!

"Thankyou, father! I will gladly accept!"

I knelt and said enthusiastically.

Father went down his throne and walked towards us. Upon arriving, he gave us a hug.

"Hahaha, both of you, make sure to do your best in the future, but don't overdo it, okay?"

"YES!" We both said with a smile as we hugged father back.

"And by the way, Xingyu. Tomorrow is your 15th birthday. I, as the island master, will give you a mission to gain experience."
