Ryozanpaku was peaceful, but the Elder seemed restless, he could feel a tremendous killing intent, directed at him. He knew I was coming and he smiled knowing so, his muscles trembled from excitement, because this is what Hayato Furinji is, a battle maniac that lives to do battle.

His plan of having the kid get stronger and challenge him once more was a success, all he had to do now was find a place for the final battle.

For me Years had passed, but for common people, it was just a year, When the Elder left everyone felt a bit uneasy, he told them that he wanted to travel the world and that he didn't know when he would return.

The main problem however was that the pressure he gave others had become worse, he could no longer live with the people in Ryozanpaku, unless he wanted them to die, even the talismans I had given him had no effect as his coultivation rose.

The old man just couldn't not train, he was a bigger idiot than anyone thought, he tried to reach the pinacle of martial arts and now all he could do was coultivate and wait for me to come and fight him, he didn't know how long it would be, but he was confident in his own strength.

Time continued its flow, Years passed and everone I once knew were all dead, in these past hundreds of years, I have been coultivating deep in the mountains, nobody bothered me and I bothered nobody, the hatered for the Elder had also subsided, but there was a but!

My coultivation couldn't break through, Despite all of my trials and endeavors I could not form a Core, the Foundation was perfect, the energy was there, but once I unleashed it, it simply disappeared as if there was some sort of black hole that was sucking it all away and I had to start all over from scratch, this was the second time it had happened.

Was I doomed to fail?

I still had time, but would it be enough? the thought of dying passed for the first time through my mind, I became depressed, I sealed my coultivation and strength, descending back to the world of mortals.

I never returned to my own country, in fear of that monster, but I visited other countries quite often, mingling with the crowd, having fun and living the life.

Secret Services, Life saving Fists, Killing Firsts, were just a bunch of nonsense I didn't care about. Money, Items, Food, you want it, you take it. I lived a lawless life to the fullest, at some point I became numb to what was good and evil, right and wrong to do, I think that it was this point that allowed me to break through.

Forming my Core, It was a colorless core with weird wisps inside it, I was at last ready to face the Elder, I was at last ready to return.

It was at this moment however that I saw the face of despair, in the far distance I could feel the Qi of Heaven and Earth gathering in the sky, this was a Divine Tribulation as called in the manual, this was the final step of awakening one's Nascent Soul.

I plummeted on the ground powerless as I saw the clouds gathering in the far distance, I could only cry inside that this was unfair, the Elder had reached the next step, the only hope for my survival was if the elder didn't survive the tribulation.

The first lightning fell where the elder stood, but it felt as if he didn't even feel it, the second lightning fell and this time there was a silent groan, the third and last thunder fell and the elder only trembled for a little as if he felt a cold breez or something.

It was over, the elder was laughing as our glances met, he's going to kill me, well, I had lived life to the fullest, time to die with no regets.

For some unknown however reason the elder didn't move against me, he simply closed his eyes and begun to meditate, he probably has to consolidate his realm of something, I don't know how long that would take, but what to do now, I could try coultivating, but it would take hundreds of years until I reach the next step, I finaly understood why one mustn't bite off more than one can chew.

It was over, I could of course try sneak attacking, but what's the point, the Elder can probably destroy me with a single fart. Each level is far supperior than the previous one, last time I was almost played to death.

Wait, I can feel another coultivator, maybe there's a chance yet, it's a weak person that has just entered Qi condensation, but his location is back in Japan.

Whom could it be, I located them, it's inside of Ryozanpaku, maybe it's one of the master, I entered inside in frozen time, but the person moving was not one of the masters, it was a girl I knew or rather used to know, Jill Furinji.

Seeing my face however she turned into a real Hannya, She begun to kick at me and tried to claw my face off, a pity that her level was too low.

Well since she was now a coultivator, I should gift her some sealing talismans, unless she wants to kill everyone present.

We made war, made love and made peace, the usual stuff between men and women.

As we were in a frozen world, she was really excited, seeing everything suddenly freeze was a huge shock to her, but learning that both me and her Grand Grand father were still alive was an even greater shock.

The elder hadn't returned in a hundred years after he left, all of the Ryozanpaku masters had left the Dojo, since there was nothing of interest there for them and their disciple Kenichi in the end didn't meet their expectations. They did their best to make a super human out of him, but they failed, instead his daughter whom had both the drive and was a training maniac fulfilled it, by herself after they had alrady left.

I can't tell how many of them are still alive and don't really want to know, but Jill was more than willing to tell me the whole story of her life.

How Kuro had returned after having joined Yomi and a war between Ryozanpaku and Yami had begun anew, how Kuro died due to his own arrogance, killed by non other than little Akai, how her brother Minato had left to find their grandfather whom had gone undercover in order to disrupt Yami's latest plan and died in a battle with Kano the One hand of Yami and how their father Kenichi defeated Kano, only to let him live, angering their mother so much that he was chased out of their bedroom for a year.

What she wanted most now, was to see her Grand Grand father, call me stupid cause I brought her to see him. When one forms his core one can fly, thus we flew all the way to his location, a desert with an old man with blond hair flying in midair, in a meditation pose.

The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

Jill begun to cry, she then begun to complain while looking at him in the sky, why he hadn't helped them if he was so powerful, why he hadn't saved his son and other stuff. The old man just stood in midair seated in a lotus pose with both his eyes closed.

Jill then became angry, she looked around for something to throw at this irresponsible old man, but couldn't find anything but sand around. It was a few second before I found myself being used as a missile, truthfully I didn't care, since I stopped in midair and flew back down.

"Silence I'm trying to sleep!"

The Elder's shout echoed out making our ears bleed, but the worst was the shock from the revelation that he was just sleeping. I was sure he was meditating or something, but he was sleeping!

"Wait, are you little Jill? Come to Gran Gran, I'll heal your wounds"

Jill shouted frightened as she was being lifted into the air by an invisible force which even I couldn't perceive. Is this the power of a Nascent Soul coultivator, I should probably scram while I still can, or should I try and apologize.

A hostile glare caused me to pause any thought of leaving, Jill begun to tell the story of her life once more and the elder listened to her closely, even calmed her down as the more difficult times were being told.

He acted like a good elderly person, that cared very much for his family, I only hope he doesn't kill me at the end of the story. Thankfully Jill was sensible and left out our reunion, just saying that I brought her here.

The old man looked at me and then extended his arm, I didn't understand what he wanted, I extended my arm and then he grawled at me.

"Seals you idiot, I can't even move without causing a tornado to appear, I'm now a danger to society, do you want me to destroy a continent or something and why are you so slow at coultivating! I had to suppress my breakthrough for years because of you!"

I could only cry in despair, the crooked old man decided to throw all the blame on me, as if it was my fault that he coultivates so fast, what on earth does he want me to do? Just stop coultivating already!

My best seal will only seal his coultivation for an hour or so as long as I'm close by, otherwise he can let out a fart and demolish a city, not because of the stink but because of the sheer force of the atoms, it's like causing a nurclear explosion, Cultivators were like living bombs on earth, we should probably fly to the moon or something. Earth is too fragile to support coultivators, or rather the inhabitants of earth are too brittle.

Jill is whispering into my ears, taunting me that I won't dare eat her, because of her grand grand father. The little girl has some nerve, but this is a fun game to play, I used my coultivation powers to molest her a little.

I could feel the elder's glare, but I didn't care, if you ask why, it's simple, because we're in the middle of a city right now, if he wished to get rid of me, it would be similar to trying to destroy the city.

Unless he was a hypocrite and abandoned his old ways of Life saving fist, then I would be scared, but right now, he won't even touch me.

I was wrong, My head begun to hurt like crazy, as if someone was trying to squeeze my brains out of my head. Jill begun to complain and hit her Gran Gran, helping me up, I kiss her causing the Elder to be even more angry, but I have his weak spot, sort of, or is it his weak spot has me?

It a weird situation, a triange of sorts, Jill wants me, the elder wants to kill me, but is stopped by her, I sort of want to kill the elder but cannot due to his insane strength.

Well we'll see what the future will bring.

Miu and Kenichi were overjoyed by the elder's return, not long after everyone got invitations, because we were going to have a feast.

It was weird seeing a grandpa Kenichi, especialy since Miu seemed to hold quite well, Kisara and Ukita were long dead and the kids were now all midle aged men and women.

Time was a terrifying enemy, that nobody could escape from, Miu and Kenichi seem to not have recognized me yet, thinking that I'm Jill's new boyfriend, well they are half right, as always.

For the Reunion however to be complete we had to go get Minato and Akai out of Jail, the two brats had grown and as bad parenting goes, they both turned into scumbags that leech on society, similar to myself. Well all martial artists are sort of useless to our peaceful society so ending up in jail isn't so surprising, the surprising thing was that they stayed in jail, I'm entirely sure they could have escaped any time they liked.

Due to the elder's problems with controlling his powers I was forced accompany him get the two brats out of jail for the reunion.

I also went around with him inviting those masters that were still alive, at least those that I knew. Shigure, Akisame and Hopachai were alive, it seems that the others were either abroad or dead.

It was strange, but the Dojo was as lively as never before after the Masters had left, there were lots of brats learning karate from Kenichi and Jill, the two masters of the Dojo. The second being the most feared by the students, but also the hotest babe in the Dojo, many young men have approached her over the years, but she only likes the strong.

Until this day no guy has been able to woe her and many guys took the challenge, the dojo was full of buffed up thugs and yakuza whom came only for Jill.

When they saw me stand next to her, they were disillusioned, because I looked like a rather weak guy to them. Some even begun to curse Jill for lying to them.

One of them a big guy tried to bump into me, I think the idiot dislocated his shoulder or something. Another one became enraged seeing his friend in pain and decided to break his own hand by punching me. I think that we will have to wait until Akisame arrives, otherwise we won't have enough money to pay for all their self inflicted injuries, these guys are really talented, they can become professional scammers now.

The others were a bit shocked to see what had happened in front of their eyes, well there's nothing really to tell, I went into frozen time and brought back a lamp post and in front of all of them begun compressing it into a small cube, it was made of cement and the cables inside were still jolting with electricity. The Cement I turned into dust as it was too frail and the cables and support beams inside were too fragile.

The guys looked at me as if I was some sort of magician, but how about another trick, I opened and closed my hand real fast causing the guy on the floor to be sucked towards me.

To those looking it seemed as if I had used the force to pull him towards me, it was another magic trick. Jill was laughing at the stupid faces they were making. But everyone present found it cute, even I couldn't retord that she was cute, but as an Immortal coultivator, fuck, the Elder came in with the rest of their family.

Minato still wore his prison uniform, refusing to change. The guys at the dojo were shocked by the two hulking men that just entered, both of them were at least two heads taller than me.

The elder took the wounded man from my hand and healed him, I don't know how he did it, but it seems that his coultivation method is at least somewhat useful. He did the same for the other guy that was holding his fist, deeply in pain.

Minato looked at me and then threw a punch at me, his punch stopped at my face as if he had just hit a wall, but his hand was alright.

"Are you my brother-in-law?"

I didn't know what to say, but Kenichi and Miu seem to have told him that the only man that can survive his punch in the room is his brother-in-law, probably Miu's revenge for mingling up with her daughter again.
