Chapter 03 Coming of Age Ceremony

= Lou Kai [ Age 5 ] =

[ Killed 1 Blood Hound ]

Phewww.

“That should do it. Hunting Blood Hounds for 2 years is mentally exhausting. This oversized dogs looks really disgusting. I still prefer my cute little [ Warwick ]. It really become a little bit stronger accompanying me for the past 2 years. Now it can fight Blood Hounds, though it takes a really long time. It’s like looking at two 3-years old babies fighting without hitting each other.”

[ Fire Blood Puppy ] - [ Warwick ]

[ Level 21 ]

Strength : 5 -> 19 [ C ]

Speed : 7 -> 23 [ B ]

Agility : 6 -> 22 [ B ]

“It’s progress pretty good. Though the Grades didn’t increase at all the potential exploded. It means it’s upper limit will increase as well.

After eating a lot of Blood Hound for 2 years, it only purify it’s bloodline by 0.21%. Having a super OP bloodline also have it’s own difficulties.”

“It’s time to go back, I don’t want to be last on the ceremony. Alpha, lets go back.”

Alpha : “Yes, it’s time to see if I will find a new host.”

“…………………………………….”

= Mother Plane =

[ Outside Luo Kai’s Room ]

“Little Luo! Wake up now or else you’re gonna be late!”

“Yeah, I’ll be there in a second.”

Luo Kai just arrived at his room and is doing everything he can so he would look like he’s still sleeping as to not arouse some suspicion from he’s family. Luo Kai has been waking up late and would only come out he’s room every three days. They thought that he was always slacking and not cultivating.

Luo Kai changed his clothes to that he would be wearing for the ceremony. He put on some luxurious clothes to match his family’s status, although he don’t admit it, he really likes it. He ain’t rich enough in his previous life to afford those really luxurious and hella expensive designer’s clothes.

“I hate to admit it but I’m really handsome aren’t I? Look at this silver hair with a strip of bright purple that makes me look like some famous Kpop artist. Sheessshhh!”

Alpha : “…………….”

He lives in [ Luo Household ] created as a forefront by his Mother and Father. They only occasionally appear to the public as to not gain unnecessary doubts. The family is fairly rich but there only a few members. The Patriach and his wife, which is his father and mother, 1 butler and 3 maids, 12 warriors and 5 servants. Though only few they are considered to be a Top-class family comparable to a Grade 7 Sect and is considered to be a 1st class family in the nearby region, with 2 Cosmos Phase Elders as the foundation.

[ SECT GRADES ]

The Higher the Grade number the stronger it is.

Grade 1 is the lowest.

[ CULTIVATION ]

Every Phase there is 10 Stages and every Stages consist of 9 Levels.

Human Phase -> Earth -> Heaven -> Axis -> Cosmos -> Sovereign -> Emperor -> Supreme.

From the outside perspective Luo Household is just a strong independent family with few member. Little did they know that it holds two Supreme masters under a veil.

“Young Master Kai it’s almost time, should be head out now?”

“This old man’s name is Marcus Plague, he came from the same race as my father and also his most loyal follower, he was supposed to prepare for his breakthrough for Supreme Phase but hold it off a little and decided to babysit me, also to prepare himself mentally. Breaking through to Supreme means you are already one of the Strongest not just on Mother Plane but all planes combine and one misstep could lead to death that’s why most Emperor Phase Masters that reached the peak of Emperor Phase just like old man Marcus suppress their cultivation until they feel like they are ready enough. When will old man Marcus decide to breakthrough? That would be a majestic sight to see right? Though he’s actually so strong, people know him as someone who’s only an Axis level master.”

“Old man Marcus, I know it’s already late but can you just let me eat my meal that Aunt Selena prepared, she would be sad if I just ignored her.”

“Aiyaaa. My little Luo already know how to sweet talk woman?”

“This old hotty’s name is Selena Vladskier she’s a wanderer who decided to follow my mother after losing a duel with her. She might look young, bustling and healthy in her front but she’s already thousands of years old. Looking at it, father and mother’s followers all have insane stats both of them have higher stats than those of the same level.”

“Alright, finish your meal and we’ll go on ahead.”

= Ascension Mountain =

[ It is said that Mother Plane’s 7 Pioneers are people who ascended and become first cultivators after praying here in this mountain ]

“Old man Marcus, is that the Ascension Mountain? It looks pretty normal for a sacred place.”

“Young Master, as normal as it is, either the legends are true or not, it’s still a sacred ground. And it’s also the only place where all races forget their grievances and communicate with each other. Once you enter the platform you will feel like world peace and coexistence is possible. That’s why this place is so majestic.”

“There’s such a thing? How powerful are the Pioneers to be able to set-up such a grand scale natural array? It can even get rid of deep-rooted grudges that’s been passed down through generation of bloodlines?”

“It is still not known if it’s the pioneers who set it up or some other more ancient had laid it out.”

“Even you and father who lives for tens of thousands of years don’t even have a clue?”

“Everyone in my generation and those generations above us knows that there is some part of the History that’s been missing. The past where there is only 1 plane, the Mother Plane. They say Mother Plane was once called Blue Planet. That’s the only clue they could gather.”

“!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”, “Am I just overthinking things?”

“We’re here, once you enter this barrier you’ll know what I was talking about.”

The moment Luo Kai stepped on the thin barrier he’s head calmed like a tranquil lake untouched by impurity, the concept of diversion and races ceases to exist in his mind as if everything are all equal, appearances don’t matter and world peace is achieved. Bloodshed, wars, murders and crime seems like a foreign and distant past for him.

“It really is so majestic, every time I think of races and crimes it’s as if there’s a kind of power forcing my thoughts to vanish. What an awe-inspiring array indeed.”

Marcus and Luo Kai walked for an hour and eventually arrived at the center of the mountain where the ceremony will hold. There are a lot of people gathering, it is bustling but the temple itself feels very barren. There was only a couple of broken down columns, a small wishing well in the middle and a formation array. The surrounding and the temple itself feels unattended and covered in moss and greenery. Yet people pray and value the temple like it is their own vault full of gold.

“This is one of the few moments where I can talk and form bonds from other races, that could potentially become my companions in the future. I need to see whose useful here, I might even find some sandbags and meatshield* here.”

*[ Luo Kai’s mind is back to normal, Alpha blocked Luo Kai’s mind thus making him immune to the formation array enabling him to think so badly despite inside the barrier. ]

“Old man Marcus, can I walk around a little bit? I promise, I’ll be back before the ceremony starts.”

Marcus nodded.

Alpha : “Host, there is a potential candidate nearby, a male from Draconian Race, 20 meters to your east.”

“Draconian? Are they people with dragon bloodline? Then he should have a sturdy body. A perfect meatshield.”

Alpha : “They are descendants of Demi-Dragons, they are just a quarter-dragon.”

“It’s still a dragon, it’s still worth a try.”

Luo Kai slowly walked towards the direction Alpha pointed to him to meet and greet the said draconian. Draconians pride themselves with their sturdy body as a descendants of a Dragons and like to do things on their own and without guidance of their elders. Thus giving Luo Kai an opportunity to approach the alone Draconian. While Luo Kai was approaching he noticed that the aloof Draconian is talking with 3 other children of their age, making it a great opportunity to strike 4 birds with one stone.

While Luo Kai was approaching one of the kids noticed him and realized the crest on his clothes. A black sword with wings. The symbol of the Luo Household of the Azure Moon Continent.

“Brother, Are you the young master of Luo Household?”

“You seemed to know me young lady? Have we met before?”

“No, It’s just seemed like your family crest is a little bit familiar from the one I know, turns out you’re really the young master of the Luo Household. I’m also from the Azure Moon Continent, Ning Xinye from Blue Gale Sect, greets the young master.”

“Hmm, except the human girl all 3 of them hit the check box. I shouldn’t miss this opportunity. Even if I can’t get them all or the Draconian, I should at least bait one of them.”

“Good day brothers and sisters, this humble one’s name is Luo Kai from the Luo Household of Azure Moon Continent. It’s my pleasure to meet everyone here. It must be fate that brought us all together.”

The five of them chatted for hours even though they all have different races and different characters they laughed together as if they are acquaintances for hundreds of years. Time passed by and it’s almost the start of the ceremony and also time for them to bid farewell.

Xingye : “It seems like all five of us are compatible with each other, why don’t we do a soul oath and be sworn brothers?”

After hearing what Xingye said, everyone looked at each other for a second and laughed. And the one who earns the most with it is Luo Kai, who is grinning and giggling as if he is a devil incarnate who deceived the Gods.

Xingye : “Since everyone agrees, it’s settled then. Since I’m the only girl here, I shall be the youngest. And Brother Luo is the most mature of us so, he should be the Eldest Brother. Brother Orphius should be the second brother, Brother Zordick should be the Third and Brother Barlock should be the Forth. And us 5 together will conquer the Mother Plane!”

“Of course I should be the Eldest, I’m at least 20 years older than you kiddos!”

No one believed what Xingye said at that moment, everyone think it’s just a child’s dream, spouting nonsense. Little did they know, that this day and time is the first ever meeting of the founders of the strongest small elite group in the Mother Plane, the Imperial Legion! But that’s a story for another time fellas.

Luo Kai : “Since it is our first meeting, why don’t we create something that would symbolize our Brotherhood?”

“Hey system is there any item in the shop that can symbolize our friendship? Like a badge, a token, a crest or something, anything will do.”

Alpha : “There is an Imperial Token used by a lost sect 590,000 years ago. That can be used as a wireless communication device. It is a token made by a meteorite with a Pentahorn Dragon symbol carved in it.”

“Yes that’s it. With this we can communicate wherever we are. And it’s also good looking, like a token of a high level sect.”

Alpha : “Each one cost 1,000 System Points, a total of 5,000 points for 5 pieces!”

“You’re so heartless! That’s so expensive!”

Alpha : “I can remove the communication function and it will only cost 100 points each!”

“.………………. Nevermind, I’ll take it. 5,000 it is! Making this guys my brothers is worth more than a mere 5,000 points.”

Alpha : “At least you’re sensible.”

“.…………………”

Luo Kai : “Brothers, I have something here, it’s a token to commemorate out brotherhood, it can also be used as a form of communication, just insert your divine sense in it and we can communicate no matter how far we are.”

Barlock : “Eldest brother this is so amazing! You really deserve to be the eldest, you have amazing artifact on you!”

“We agree!”

Luo Kai : “The ceremony will start soon, we should part ways here let’s talk with the imperial token after the ceremony.”

“Take care elder brother!”

“You guys also take care!”

They all bid their farewell and waved their goodbyes.

Luo Kai returned to their spot where Marcus is waiting for him. Marcus noticed that Luo Kai seemed happy and lively.

“Did something good happened Young Master? You seemed happy.”

“Nothing really noteworthy.”

“Is that so?”

“Don’t mind me old man Marcus”

The two of them waited till sunset for the start of the ceremony. There is nothing spectacular about the ceremony it’s only a flash of light and hearing the Heavenly Tone. The so called Heavenly Tone is voice coming from heaven that everyone can hear but no one can distinguish where the voice came from, it could be from behind, the front or either sides, it could even be below or above. Everyone have their guesses but none can confirm it. That’s why it’s name Heavenly Tone because of it’s majestic trait that no one can explain but the Heaven itself who sees the people from above.

At the start of the ceremony, the night sky lit up and trumpets can be heard. There are wings flapping but no birds can be seen. Everyone bowed their heads for heaven is the only above. Raising their head is like going against the Heavens and is punishable by Heavenly Tribulation.

[ The Heavenly Dao is for everyone to pursue. ]

After hearing the Heavenly Tone, everyone raised their heads and the ceremony is completed.

“Was that the Heavenly Tone? If feels like hearing Alpha but also not Alpha.”

“Young Master, shall we get going?”

“Yeah!”

Luo Kai took a glance once again at the ceremonial place and whisper to himself.

“The next time I see those kids, how much will they grow? Seeing those kids’ stats I really need to work on myself, they might surpass me and take my Eldest Brother position.”

And with that, Luo Kai returned home and to his surprise, his father and mother was there.
