I am forced to wait over a month for my body to recover enough to train but only light training and I am to focus on cultivating as much as possible to increase my healing rate, I feel bored unable to do anything but sit in a room for days on end just meditating.

When in seclusion I usually have my heat and practice my martial arts during the time not just solely sit and meditate, but now it is the only thing I could do for a whole month and now I can only spend an hour max doing light workouts before returning to the same dreary thing I am not even allowed to clean or make array's as it would drain my body and energy making it a no go.

I help the others study for array's or make plans for attacks, until the others see me and force me to rest and cultivate once more.

The bowman apparently finally advanced during the attack as he was severally injured during the attack and his body to save himself force itself to begin repairing itself with the energy allowing him to officially enter the body forging realm and us now needing yet another new member.

Fortunately, the fighting done by Haoyu helped him advance and he is now a 9th grade and with how long we are out of commission from injuries and needing to repair our sect he should be able to advance before our next deployment.

Slowly life returns to normal as Haoyu is included in the training for when he does advance and joins us as well as me finally being allowed to simply practice my martial arts once more and no one telling me off from making array's the very array's that saved your lives thank you very much, though the sect leader asked me for the location and types of all array's around here with four being destruction array's which honestly had the man sighing when he saw them.

By the end of my recovery everyone heard of us resisting a jindan attack and even severely wounding it enough that the sect leader could kill it, though more interest was in the amount of array's I had set up inside the sect.

More than a few people had made jokes of my paranoia even with them also appreciating it for saving many lives during the secret attack of the demon sect, still there is now 2,000 dead and another 4,000 with me included injured enough to be out of commission a while longer while around 200 are missing limbs or destroyed cultivation due to the demonic cultivators' attacks.

Some of the missing limbs are recoverable but due to the demonic energy some can't be healed without doing worse damage or risking the person's life.

I can see the people crying in front of the bodies as the families of the fallen are called upon to retrieve the body and a penchant for the loss, many of the loss where the disciples too young to protect themselves though it is strange as the other attack I saw the damage from lacked unpresented people's bodies.

I can only assume it is another branch taking those people and shrug off the feeling of wrongness in the entire event, our birthdays pass, and we age like normal though I finally advance once more along with the young master.

The next heat passes smoothly, and Haoyu also advances to the connector stage while Tai advances a level.

Everyone talks of how Haoyu seemed to have been training with us for a while and seemed to blend to easily with my teachings leading to the fact I had mentored him since he was fourteen to come out, people spoke of how quickly he seemed to advance and grow at the time and the rapid increase in his sword capability.

The first redeployment since the attack comes in fall leading to us leaving the sect and heading to a water sect who specializes in protection clothing used by most sects despite them being a smaller sect their products are top tier.

We arrive as the attack happens and get into plains positioning for emergency times like this as we mow through what we can and help who we can, we drag many people into the barrier I set up and those able to move help the wounded recover while we deal with the attackers and protect them.

The attack is a furious and quick one only lasting three days but the amount of damage and dead is far greater than any of our other fights yet as three of our members are critical another five have broken bones and stab wound while not a single other person except me is unscathed from the fight, and I am running on empty for the past five hours as we deal with strays and stragglers.

I finally collapse when the scouts come back with an all-clean statement and the others rush to me as they see me fall, I lay on the shoulder of one of them as they ask for a place to rest and recover.

I wake in a bed with the light shining outside up in the center of the sky when the last I saw it was when it was going down for the night, I slept at least a day's worth of time after the battle if not two days with how full of energy and the position of the sun.

I see a person enter who stops when they see me awake and conscious in the bed, they come to me and tell me Haoyu has insisted on being the one to watch after me and they only got him to sleep a little bit ago, I am slightly relieved it is Haoyu as he would know to feed me the suppressants while I am out and know how to hide my scent if it leaked during this time though unlikely as my body is trained to suppress it night and day.

I sit up and she gets me some food before heading to alert the others of my status, Tai marches in and tells me the next time this happens he will tie me down and force me to rest for a week without practice and the others seem all too willing to help him in this endeavor.

I sigh knowing that nothing I did would talk them out of this so just give in to their demands, but while they talk one of the people talked about how the young master is annoying and doesn't even visit when I am injured.

Other snarks the young master only got this far because of me, and I snap at him.

"The young master is not someone you have the right to say that about, if he didn't have the talent his cultivation would be low, and his swordsmanship would not even be a tenth of what it is. Never say such things about him again."

I see the looks of shock as I had never done such things with them before even if they make fun of me in front of me, I just ignore it but this time I spoke up, they look to each other and drop it, but I can see the looks of discontent about what just took place.

As long as they don't spout rumors of the young master all is fine.

We leave the sect early morning five days after the battle ends as I slept the first two days following it due to energy depletion, the first time I have ever suffered it and only from three days straight battle of being constantly attacked by people of equal and slightly higher cultivation of my own.

The other barrier people were sent out to find people, so I held it up without anyone to replace me the whole time something the men seem to have realized after asking each other what they did during the event.

The other barriers were told off and they seemed extremely guilty when they realized this.

I told them they listened to my commands and that they saved many lives doing so, it seemed to help them somewhat but they insisted they undergo extra training so they can help more during such scenarios in the future which I agree to in order to help lessen their guilt.

Nodding at the punishment they requested but I gave, they seemed much more relaxed after knowing they would be punished for this incident.

We return to the sect and the members force me to be checked over by the medic of the sect, all sects have medics under agreement not to speak a word of the patients confidentiality unless it could bring ruin to the sect like signs of demonic cultivation or some type of disease, even a pregnancy applies here as the mother is not sent to the front lines during such times because demonic cultivators may spread mutagens turning the unborn into a monster.

A few times this happened and one time the unborn was so deadly it killed half a sect before being put down, the mother was a jindan cultivator making the child a more powerful monster after consuming her from the inside out.

Of course, the more powerful a cultivator the less likely they are to be able to conceive, the cost of the increase in life span.

However the sect kept close eyes on any cultivator able to reproduce for just incase something happened or something slips at a important moment, they are more vulnerable to such things due to the nature of their bodies so a in-depth search is done, although none know beyond her that I am a omega and I only told her due to her vows and the other woman from the sword sect telling me to get the pills making me have to speak with her on where to get them.

I see her look at me and then the others shoving me to come and sighs before taking me to a separate room to be looked over a promptly scolding me for such severe overuse, I am an omega already in danger of deviating and circulation problems am I trying to kill myself.

Honestly, I have never suffered even a slight blip of off circulation since the day my core formed why she worries so much is beyond me, but I let her nag and shove a pill in me for energy balancing.

She sends me home telling me to cultivate while on the pill and not to push myself like this again or she will strap me on the bed and describe all the in-depth problems an omega can suffer due to such actions; I enter the pavilion to the young master telling me we will be cultivating together.

He sees other jumping levels and then he has only increase once since the start of this war, there are rumors spreading he isn't meant for war.

As we go from place to place any time, we have is spent with him cultivating and me helping him widen his connections until after another three months he advances again following a harsh battle on a plain, now it is said he needs to be pushed to the extreme to rise and the rumors turn in his favor.

The year comes to a close with many more dead or no longer able to continue the cultivation journey but also many have risen in status and standing through the time.

I advance in a heat during the new year like how the first heat I had was making me think of the castle and wonder what has come of it, but it is not my business, so I leave the seclusion I entered after returning from fighting to finish the advancement in safety.

Haoyu also advanced in his heat brining him to the 2nd connector stage while Tai is reaching the peak of his current level but isn't ready to advance quiet yet, he will probably advance after another one or two battles.

However, three of the current members are about to advance which are the daggers, bow staff, and one of the medium level people who is nearing the advance point and one of the attack sword people recently advanced to the ninth level meaning soon we will be short three more people.

I have begun to look at the others during our fight as it is clear we will need to add more once they advance, and a young girl caught my eyes.

She looks only 20 proving her cultivation talent along with incredible capability with a sword and a good baking if her always being put in missions with us is anything to go off of as the highest survival rates come with those put with us, I approached her, and she agreed after asking her grandfather a peak leader of the finance peak.

I hadn't realized just who the connection was until she bluntly told me this, well I guess it was an even better connection then I had originally assumed.

She is in the second stage of connection, so she is already up to par allowing me to request one of the members to be allowed to enter enclosed cultivation to advance while we are about to be sent on a new mission, heading out the bow staff person who is closest to advancing remains behind and the new girl takes his place.

She and the young master seem to get along to well and I hope the young master doesn't try and sleep with her, she is a beta so a chance of children is too high, and I can't force her to take contraceptives like the others.

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

I watch them grow closer and see the young master not sleep with anyone for the first time during our breaks leaving me the thought of maybe he is for once serous over this, I remain silent through their flirting and when one night young master tells me not to come I oblige while the following morning he and her are seated together eating in his home.

We age and grow as the war rages with new people coming and going all capable people who with some fixing and correction shine.

The war dies out in the fifth year and me, and the young master have grown rapidly.

I am now one step from the body forging grade and the young master is at the eight stage of connector, Tai is at the fourth but the one to gain the most seems to have been Haoyu who has become a 5th stage connector at the mere age of 25 an incredible feat and he barely looks to be 17 while his talent in a saber is impeccable gaining him a title of barrier breaker.

The people who served under me have all gone on far and soon may need to leave the sect to advance further in their road to cultivation.

The one with the bow has gained the name star shot due to his simply incredible ability to shoot a target no matter the barrier or weather he can shoot a dead shot even at a distance of 1000 miles even a storm with the target holding a barrier who is in late body forging grade but still shot dead in the head despite all that, some even said they saw the barrier shatter from the where they stood in the rain.

Whispers of how he was buried as a swordsman until now and that he was a part of the hunter's squad, aka my squad.

I sit in the caverns using my excess energy to begin rapidly exiting my body all at once causing mass strain and exhaustion as the exit point in my body are pushed to their maxed and my muscles are forced to accommodate to much energy causing them to strain while my bone have small fissures appear all over them but the amount of energy I have means it just keeps coming even as I push it out as much as I can in a waste of energy.

My exit points even begin to expand slightly form this though usually one only does such things after advancing to jindan grade, my body begins to absorb the energy output by me back in that is how dense the energy within the cave is getting from this.

I feel the cycle of out and in for the energy as I try and use all my energy to it's max as time passes with me pushing my body to it's limit until finally the intake of energy can't keep up with my output and I finish my advancement.

I can feel the change in me as my bones seem denser and my muscles tougher, I can feel the energy around me more easily.

I sit in meditation as my body and energy fully recover before exiting the cave that is so dense in energy some have slightly condense like one would see with a jindan cultivator, I know the talisman I used will drain the energy from it until it returns to normal but I can't deny the worry someone may enter right after me but as I walk Haoyu heads towards the cave I left and I relax as Haoyu is far more trustable to stay silent then the others.

Heading out to the front hall to report my advancement whispers follow me as looks of astonishment come my way, I now worry and stop by the pavilion to see and although I am slightly wet from the work out and have increased my muscles through this no major changes one shouldn't expect from this stage.

My face though slightly better with less blemishes and whiter skin though still decently tanned looks a little more feminine it isn't anywhere near a normal omega and more like a softer beta.

I bathe and dress then head to the front hall under the stares and whispers of others but all I can do is ignore it and continue, I enter the hall and can feel people gazes on me and feel worried but know there is nothing telling of me as my scent is suppressed and my looks haven't undergone rapid changes.

Until the sect leader walks up to me and tells me the amount of energy I am putting out is a light bulb, I forgot the exit spots increased and was releasing far more energy then usual.

I rein it in to a much more manageable amount and the amount is around the level of a 9th stage formation as that is the lowest I can do for now until I get used to the change in my exit points, I can see the look of constipation at this action and wonder why he reacted this way.

"Child, I wanted you to lower it to a mind bridge level not formation level though the amount of energy and your control of it is impressive and proves just how talented of a barrier person you are, you shouldn't suppress it that much."

I release it to the average 9th stage mind bridge level and the man sighs in relief at it before telling me he knows what has occurred and that he will officially add me to the body forging stage people on the roster, the sect lacks any true Jindan but with all the up-and-coming talents they are keeping good watch on everyone's progress recently

There used to be one but in the last war they died so the sect got demoted and they had to send even lower grade people out to fight then the last war as they lack a powerful backing and do could only make do with numbers instead.

I leave but people still peak at me after that show of power from me.

I return and the young master is in front of the pavilion waiting for me and once I am there, he demands I release all my energy for him to sense as he needs to know my full capability, so I do so, and he staggers making me retreat the energy immediately which seems to upset him even more.

But before he can go off the others arrive, and he huffs before leaving to return to talking and flirting with the granddaughter of the finance peak.

I have some saying they heard the news and other whining why they never got to sense my energy, it was unfair they claim as they are all members of our team, they should also know what my energy feels like, and I agree to show them during training as it will be part of their training to detect me.

I have given Haoyu the control of the group due to my advancement but many still come to me for training and teaching even the new members that I didn't even lead did so.

I also realize just how large we got after leaving as I look at the group of 100 people all asking to feel my energy as we are or once where teammates, I begin to think of all the people on the team over these nearly 7 years of war and it comes to nearly 300 people either in the team or trained with us during this time a good portion of which are all people that have made names for themselves through this and the sect which has gained much fame through our exploits.

Shaking my head at this fact I smile slightly at their joking and laughing, I hear one person talk of the time young master's girlfriend accidently entered a red market street and her reaction when the young master came and scolded us for allowing such a thing.

I immediately shut it down and can see the pouts and disdain in some people's eyes, but this is not up for discussion, so they change the topic and the fun hearted air returns.

One of the people however seems slightly interested in the things that just occurred and asked me why it is I serve the young master which seemed to make the others stop talking and pay attention as although curios no one ever asked me out of respect.

I hold no problem with the past so do not hesitate to tell them of my raising as a bodyguard for the young master, which causes everyone to freeze.

Everyone know bodyguards are often raised as little more than property and often undergo harsh and even extremely cruel training while the cultivation they perform is often the most crude and basic one out there, they ask me what cultivation I use and I reply the same one I started with which horrifies them as they look into each other's faces and seem to come to some sort of an agreement.

They stop asking questions and disperse so I shrug and return to training, the next day the sect leader calls upon me and I go to his office.

"It has come to my attention you have only the lowest grade cultivation method and despite the amount of credit you have not purchased a new one to change to, I know I will regret this but my I ask why that is?" I am confused why this seems to bother him but respond anyway.

"I am a guard to change cultivation means over specializing in one thing which would interfere in my ability to perform my duty."

I see the man groan and drop his head in his hand, his long hair draping from the action.

He tells me that he can't force me to choose a cultivation style but advises me to do so as a low grade one like what I am using will seriously impact my growth and potential in the future if it hasn't already, I leave the office but ignore his advice as the cultivation style used is one perfectly fit to my body so no need to change it.

We are now at peace for a while and I intend to make the most of it by cultivating and training the people here, it is what I am good at, and everyone seems to enjoy it despite how harsh it is.

Like this everything returned to its original state of enclosed cultivation every three months and him training others while cultivating with the young master, though the amount he is training has increased dramatically as many sit in on his lessons or simply watch him practice.

I train everyday with my bow staff going over my stances until they are perfect doing everything spotless, when a young child barely eight approaches me and asks me to teach him it and I told him if he was talented in it I would.

He has no hope with a bow staff is clearly evident when he tries it out, he begs me to teach him and I tell him to try another weapon and if he finds one I am satisfied with then I will and he rushes to the rack showing me him trying to use all the weapons with each one being clear he lacks a talent in it.

Of the hundreds of weapons, the boy's talent in them is abysmal and it is clear without help no matter what path he does he will never succeed so I tell him we will find a weapon for him but for now try just fighting without one.

I see the way he moves his body, and it is clear he is talented in body control so why such poor weapon handling?

Maybe it is only his body he is so good at and so adding anything else brings it out of balance, is it possible for such a thing and if so, what did it mean for the boy?

I would make a style like this I decided one without a need for weapons only one's bare body and energy will be the style of this martial arts, unknown to the two a small string of fates intertwines them to change things whether for better or worse only fate and time may know.

He has the boy come every day for his morning training as he uses purely his body while going through different array and energy flows noticing almost none seem to work as the body lacks the natural attunement weapon had to the world allowing for energy of it to respond, changing his method to instead of making an effect it will instead be going with the flow of energy and interfering in others energy.

His style is strange, and the effect is poor as even a small rock throw is tricky to block using it, but he spends the mornings finding what way works and how to move the energy while the boy trains his body under his harsh hands to an extreme.

If the boy can't use a weapon then blocking is a big problem and the boy needs a well trained body for the blocking he has in mind, during the war he often would sometimes instead of directly blocking instead would misdirect an attack or even take an attack let the momentum carry him but with the jindan person he couldn't do these so instead he made it so the ground and all of his body absorbed the attack not just one part of him like most would.

He used his energy to disperse as much of the attack to the ground as possible while spreading it to the less important parts with the bits he couldn't.

The boy needed not just perfect timing and body control but also amazing reflex's and ability to track his surroundings perfectly, I even make the boy show me his current cultivation which I tell him bluntly doesn't suit him and if he wants to go far he needs to change it so I take him to the library and search through cultivation methods but none fully fit so I take a few different ones and bring them back for study.

I have the boy start on the basic on I am on so he can swap to a new one more easily in the future which he does without complaint as I help him in cultivating in the dawn, before training the rest of the morning and teaching the others in the afternoon.

I give the boy books to study when not with me and my personal notes for him, I focus on the boy trying to figure it out that without realizing I ignored the young master for the first time.

I missed the first cultivation session with him since he was a child without further warning or permission as I was practicing the martial arts I am designing for the boy; the young master sees I am practicing and yells out alerting me to the time and the fact I had somehow missed our session.

Bowing and apologized swearing it would not happen again which he seems fine with, this is my first time such a thing has occurred, so he forgives it quickly and I make sure to set a talisman for the future, so it doesn't repeat.

I finish the cultivation method which will be him soaking in a lot of medicinal items that I purchased and me guiding his energy along the complex system made for him to have a more natural connection with the earth using this method, it will make his fighting style of the future even more powerful.

It is extremely painful at first for the boy and I take some of the pain for him while he is in it while circulating the energy until his body begins to do so naturally on its own.

It has been 5 years since the war ended and I have grown even more in this period along with the boy who he taught all he could in the morning while training other sin the evening and helping the young master at night, he took the month long enclosed cultivation and would leave Yìchén with books to study and moves to practice while he is gone, he advanced another two times in these year while the young master only advanced once.

He is stagnating at the body forging realm which is very common as not all people's bodies respond to the same stimulus to begin the process and trial and error is needed for some to find the right means, others only do so while on deaths doorstep and some never it was a matter of talent.

Tai is now a 7th connector stage and Haoyu at the eight-connector stage which is making the young master frustrated, add on the time spent training others by means seems to have begun to make him question my loyalty.

I allow him to hit and smack and order me around without complaint or telling others of it as I know they will not take it kindly but I am the young master property it is in his right to do as he wills with me, so I take the abuse without complaint and the young master even does it in front of his girlfriend a few times who snickers and laughs during it.

Yìchén finally forms the core we want at the age of fourteen, a slightly good talent but not the best so he is left to me for training, I make him start immediately on the style I have spent the last 7 years making for him since he asked me to teach him.

I drag him through the rings as I beat him every day to train in the response time, he needs using different types of weapons and attacks each day, so he doesn't grow complacent in one style.

I force him to spend hours in a single stance until it is perfect, and the weekends are filled with him in cultivation baths with me helping him cultivate quicker and smoother while he lays in the bath absorbing the earth properties of the plants, I push the boy in a way I didn't even push the soldiers under me.

I could see hints of anger and hatred in him but know if the boy wants to go far this is the only way, the boy finally blocks most my attacks when he turns eighteen and he is now a third formation stage person.

He is a mediocre talent and many wonder if I truly am such a good teacher as clearly the boy is failing hard to be anymore then mediocre, I ignore the rumors and looks of concern from my previous students who have all left for one thing or another over these years since the wars end.

The boy hits hard enough to bend steel even in his current level and his ability to stop attacks are second to my own, he may be low level but once the ball rolls and experience comes, he will shoot up rapidly I have no doubt.

I am reaching the Jindan stage as the boy approaches the body mind melding faze looking around 28 years a slightly better than average age but not by much and everyone knows it, he hasn't shown off any incredible fighting style even with a sword and his cultivation is slow causing everyone's attention to leave us as the years passed.

The boy is now thirty-five and it is clear my fame has withered out with time.
