Chapter 3
Gentle moonlight laying onto the earthly surfaces, giving faint lights to guide for the lost ones. But in a certain cave, inside a room created by an earth wall, total darkness loomed onto the 2 figures, a skeleton laying against the cave wall and a child laying face down on the dusty floor.
Dizziness struck him, as he struggle to sit in a cross legged posture, bring his tiny hands together, fingers touching corresponding tips while the wrist face upwards. It was just a posture that would allow him to organised his messed up memmories. Ignoring the metalic taste from his lips, calm slow breathing echo out inside the cave.
As the sun slowly climb upwards the sunrays piercing the dried bushes slowly illuminating the cave, soft eye lits trembled before they slowly open. What was once bright black pupils, inpalce was 2 dull black pupils like an endless abyss that would suck ones soul away if looked too long.
A faint smile slowy creep up on his face as soft chuckle escape his mouth.
"It is not that I returned to pass, more like as if i experienced my future!"
He had thought his end would come after severing the destiny from this Heaven but instead his future memoires are implanted into his soul!
Eyes scaning the surronding as his small eye brows slowly scrouch up but his face become relax and slowly shook his head when he spoted black dust infront of him.
"I am too greedy! But! This is already a great fortune! I have no idea who created such incomprehensible artifact neither does I know its origin but such nature to allow one to experience the future, surely it's origin is not simple!"
"But it is not without a cost!" He thought as he could feel his head cloudy as he process his memories.
It is a sign of soul injury!
But he was not depressed as his gain was too valueble to be even measured!
His face, full of joy slowly became ice cold as he look at the skeleton infront of him.
Picking up a solid stone in his vicinity, he started pounding the wooden stake in the skeleton's chest!
DUT! DUT! Kache......
The sound was as if a stone was shattered!
Kache.... Kache DUT!DUT!
As if not noticing the sound he kept pounding!
Kachhhheeee...... As the final sound echoed in the cave.
Seeting!
White mist started floating out from the skeleton's chest!
The white mist slowly formed a screaming face!
Before it could make any movement, a stone was thrown at it!
As the stone passes through the mist the face dispersed and the skeleton and wooden stakes slowly crumbled into dust...
Durt! a hevy object was fallen out of the robe, it was a black jade in a rectengular shape plate with a finger size thick and adult's palm size. There were straege words and pattern littered on the surface while on an exceptionally smooth surface there is an oval shape etched on it with a darker shade.
Veins trobe along his forehed he tried to recalled the memories regarding this item.
It is an interspacial storage item called Fairy Embrace. It's special features is to preserve herbs and organic materials in its original stage as long as possible and have a capacity 5 cubic meters. It is one of the treasures that was once found in an acient ruins, there are less than a hundered in this whole world. Of course the limitations are that items have to be smaller than the oval shape size but one can seperate the space into nodes allowing a person the store items seperately make it an invalue treasure!

As he was inspecting it he unconsciously remembered the past event.....
Rather it was his future 'self', he was a reincarnated person from earth and a novel addict too.
When 'he' found this area he had done the same thing except there was no strange ball present.
'He' had tried searching for treasure on the skeleton when he noticed there was a grey heart with cracks all over it at the end of the stake in the chest. Being as foolish as 'he' was, thinking 'he' could gain inheritence if 'he' were to free the heart from the seal(stake), 'he' pulled out the stake from the chest. Contrary to being rewarded for his action, a red beam was shot out from the grey heart landing squarly between his brow!
It was an attempt of possesing his body!
It was obvious that the possessor was extremly weaken and have very slight chance of sucess, but 'his' chance of death was almost 100%!
The reason 'he' survived with a wounded soul along with the spiritual root of the possessor. It was due to the fetus soul that was residing in him! When he reincarnated he had taken over the infant body while its' newly born soul was put into deep sleep. But it is a very rare occurance! And a neutral fetus soul he possesed is one of a kind and there might not even one exist under this heaven!
It was the first mistake and the first time destiny had put upon crisis on him!
An obvious chance for the cultivator to have another chance at life!
But instead 'he' was the person who gain however at the price of the fetus soul!
Of course 'he' is not aware of the fetus soul but possesing the spiritual root had allowed him to enter a sect. During that time 'he' traded the spiritual weapon he looted from the skeleton to become a desciple of an elder. Without knowing the value of the weapon, 'he' was obviously scammed by just being given an ordanary treatment just a bit better from the normal disciples with extra protection.
After that 'he' traded the Fairy Embrace to trade for a pill for breaking through his halted cultivation with another desciple.
That desciple had later become a hero amoungst his generation! It was the second time destiny had used him!
Recalling the bitter memory makes his teeth clench!
Feeling through the tattered green robes he pulled out piece of metal, strange flowerly pattern runs along its 3 pointed blade with a wooden material in the center.
Holding it in his both tiny hands due to it being at the size slighly bigger than an adult palms size, faint humming could be felt through his palm signifying the value of the spiritual weapon!
With a solem face looking at the weapon, he knew the future will be very different and destiny will no longer be able to use him as some whestone, no he will use the destiny and the destined children as his stepping stone!
His reign! His battle against the destiny begins now!
