Time flew by and soon six years had gone by, the ancestral temple was filled with vast ancient books and knowledge, with the help of his father Qiang Zhi was able to read the ancient text and speak fluently by the age of six, such books and the knowledge contained within them was so rear in that if one took a single book outside and sell one could buy his way into becoming the lord of the Shan domain.

The soul is like an unrefined gem tempered by the raging flames of a volcano but once refined it turns into a precious jewel worth a realm, the heart as the furnace, mental energy the jewel.

Ever since he began cultivation no matter how hard he tried he had never been able to form mental energy though he had the luminous sword heart he never understood it no matter how he tried, this book explained the cultivation of mental energy. Putting it down he started cultivating.

With a strong soul, he was able to comprehend each word to his heart making his cultivation much faster. The heart was like a machine converting raw energy into soft energy. All of a sudden the surrounding seemed to become much quieter, he could feel the slight breeze in the air, the piled up dust on the books and as he reached his mind outwards sounds of gears turning could be heard, a majestic door appeared beside it were two majestic pillars supporting a signboard with

寻求天堂 written above it (heaven seeking) in an Ancient text, if one looked closely an ancient dragon coiled around the pillars suppressing all beneath it.

There was a huge suction force devouring his newly established mental energy greedily, it was as if his life was being sucked out.

As he opened his eyes he saw his father walking towards him

‘it seems you have made yet another breakthrough’

Qin Zhi looked at him surprised mental energy was supposed to be undetectable even an expert wouldn’t notice it unless one had trained in mental energy, although he knew his father was strong, the number of people who were able to form it was quite few, this was based on the knowledge he had acquired and the questions he had asked it in a roundabout way’

‘the heaven seeking gate will only open to those who are chosen and have firmly set foot on the cultivation world and the only way to open it is using mental energy.

it appearing means that one has trigged its mechanism, your mother and I haven’t cultivated the heart so we cant use it that only leaves you. Even without that, the residual energy of your breakthrough was something we could detect.’

A profound smile could be seen on his face

‘Young brat good job, you can now finally be called an expert now quickly clear the trials so that we can leave, I swear once we get out i'll kick that stupid’s brats face to the seventh hell nkt’

His father realy talked about his brother it was like a taboo amongst them when ever he tried to bring it up his training would be doubled when his father was in a bad mood he would tell him to stand at a corner with one finger on the ground for a week each day a different finger and this was after a gruesome day of training a few years back when he had started to get used to it he tried asking again thinking that there was no panitment that he couldn’t with stand this time he stood for a whole week with one finger and the cycle continued he vowed never to ask again.

‘During the ancient times, our sect used to be amongst the strongest, although we could rival those big sects of the realm we still had a say in things that is because our sect produced many geniuses who later joined those big sects and that was because of the heaven seeking hall.

It is rumoured that the hall of heaven was a treasure of atop expert back in the primordial era and due to some unknown reason it landed in our world and because of that, no outside force dares to invade our planet.

Qin Zhi looked at his father with amazement

‘Father what happened to those who tried to invade and why has our world become so weak’

Looking at his curious son he sighed

‘Anyone who bore ill will towards this world would be crushed into a pulp of blood every magical treasure turned to dust, not even his corpse would remain, those who dared would just be courting death. Our world gained prosperity and we became a force to reckon, but with time people started becoming arrogant and doing evil deeds outside then come back here to seek shelter this included the world lords son who offended a realms lord by raping and killing his daughter.

When the realms lord found out he was so angry and vowed to destroy our planet and the proprietor a vast force that could wipe out planets within seconds was gathered. When the son learned who he had offended he ran away back to his father seeking protection. The father was furious at his son but he also dotted on him heavily and in the end decided to shelter him after all no force could shake this world off its roots. What he did not know was that the realms lord was in control of a primordial treasure also.

A heavy battle was fought in the end the spirit of both treasures appeared and came to an agreement both the head of father and son were to be given and for 10000 years no expert shall step out of this world in exchange they would retreat and not seek trouble again, and thus our fates were sealed.
