Chapter 1:
As I left the house where my entire family lives, I started thinking. I had to go to the castle of the imperial clan to get the official sect scroll to create an official sect. Even though this may sound easy, it is not as you have to pass a test set by the imperial clan to get the scroll. This causes me to feel a little nervous as I don't know what the test is, but I quickly regain my confidence as I remember I have a cultivation technique and some martial techniques from a plane higher than the one I'm living in right now. So I set off towards the imperial clans castle, whilst flying.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I flew for a little bit over a hour and I can finally see the castle. As I neared the castle I saw guards wearing armour and carrying swords and spears flying towards me, they surrounded me and asked "Why are you here? Depending on your answer, we will attack." I reply to their answer quickly to not piss them off, "I came here to obtain an official sect scroll by doing the test." They lowered their weapons but still kept their guard up, they wouldn't be good imperial guards if they weren't this cautious.
They led me to the guest chamber where I awaited the examiner. The examiner arrived shortly and introduced himself as examiner Gale. I bowed and said my name, Akito Fujita. My introduction gave the examiner a better impression of me as I'm pretty famous in the imperial capital, Hostoke, because my deed of annihilation of 2 mid-sized families of the imperial capital. He started to take me more seriously and didn't underestimate me.
Examiner Gale explained the test to me, it was to defeat 4 Tattoo Forming stage puppets while defending my mind from illusions and mind attacks. This test was extremely hard but every sect patriarch did a test of the same level and passed. This brought my motivation up as I am more lucky then most people if I say so myself. Examiner Gale led me to another room where there is an arena where I shall fight. It was a coliseum made up of marble enchanted with spirit arrays. Spirit arrays are set up by spirit masters. Spirit masters are people born with spirit power, which is 1 in 10000 chance. They have same ranks as a blacksmith and alchemist.
I enter the arena and see 4 puppets enter as well, 1 from each direction enclosing me inside their circle. I activate my Infinite Origin Tattoo on the backside of the palm of my right hand, creating a purple hue of light to glow. A dark purple flame appeared a little bit above my palm and radiated an archaic aura and an aura of deep profoundness. This aura created pressure to fall on the puppets which slowed down them by a little. The appearance of the flame shocked the examiner but he recovered his composure just as fast as he lost it and continued on with the test. I wrapped the flames around my hands and charged at the puppets, but then the illusion appeared. The puppets turned into my family members, which caused me to hesitate as I almost believed it was really them.
The puppets used this moment of hesitation to attack me. The illusion of my father kneed me in the stomach which was followed up with the illusion of my mother kicking me into the air. Then my sister's illusion dropped kicked me from the air. I crashed into the ground creating a crater. Blood rose up my throat and was launched from my mouth. The attack was not over as the illusion of my brother punched downwards towards me. but I rolled to the side and dodged it. His fist gets lodged into the ground and it takes him a few moments to get it free.
I used these few moments to kick my brothers legs to drop him then grab his face while pushing it to the ground with my hands covered in Infinite Origin Flames. The puppet knees me in the stomach which makes me release my grip on his face. It uses this moment to flip me over and turns his right into a sword. Surprise shows on my face, as I realize that these puppets can morph any part of their body into weapons. Regaining my calm, I palm the puppet on the left side of its face, making it go to the right. I then use this moment to coat my right hand in flames and push the head of the puppet to the ground. This melts the illusion as well as the puppet. Just as I finished the puppet off, the others puppets charge at me.
I slam my hands on the ground to push me up off the ground and land on my feet, but I quickly duck as the mother puppet changed its hand into a sword while it tried to hit me with a right hook. I barely dodge it and follow up with a palm strike to its chest. I melt a 1 inch palm mark into its chest before the force of my palm threw it back. It crashes into the arena wall and gets stuck in the wall.
The sister puppet does a flying kick which hits my back. I stumble a little before getting hit in leg by the father puppet. He did a sweeping kick which made me flip, then the mother puppet from before tried another attempt to stab me with its transformed hand. I grab its hand which causes a deep slash to appear in my palm, but I melted the puppets arm off. This all happened in an instant while I was falling. Before I reached the ground I used my leg to kick off the father puppets knee to jump over the mother puppet. As I flip over the mother puppet, I use her back to jump again, I neared the wall which I use as another jumping tool to reach the ceiling. I used the ceiling to launch myself at the sister puppet while I extended my arm out.
I speed towards my sister and grab her face, then I melt her face. As I get up, I fall on to my left knee as my right leg was still hurt from the sweeping kick. Right when I managed to get back up, I got stabbed in the back by my father. This transformed hand when through my right side of my back to the chest. It was not a fatal move, but it was still serious. I spurt out more blood from my mouth. This cause my right hand to be unusable, but I used it one more time to break the blade imbedded into my body. I then sent all my Infinite Origin Flames on my right hand to my left before turning around and left hooking the puppet. My attack crushed his head, but it took a lot of my energy.
Not letting me rest the last puppet charged at me. I sent all the Infinite Origin Flames to my right leg before jumping and drop kicking the puppet in to the head. I completely annihilate it, but with the cost of most of my energy. I fall down onto the ground and rest, while the illusions all disappeared and the examiner appears in front of me. He had a smile on his face while he said " Congratulations, you passed the test, so now you can get the Official Sect Scroll. Heres, it is a pill to help you heal your injuries."

I struggle to lift my left arm to receive the pill he is giving to me. I barely grab it before plopping it into my mouth as my arm falls limp. I feel the strong medicinal force go down my throat which I manipulate to go around the whole body. I did 56 rotations per minute and healed most of my injuries in 2 hours.
Examiner Gale was kind enough to wait patiently for me, so I went up to him and said "Thanks." He just affirmed with a nod. My stab wound was still there but I wrapped it up in bandages before putting on a new pair of clothes. After I finished, Examiner Gale led me towards the imperial chamber where the imperial family is waiting.
I look at my surroundings as I walk down a hall. I see beautiful lamps which have turquoise flames burning in them. The ground was made out of chiseled marble and had a carpet. The carpet was red with golden embroideries sown on to it. The golden silk was woven into the shapes of the 4 divine creatures: the 5 clawed Golden Dragon, the Phoenix, the Turtle and the White Tiger, while under it was silver embroideries sown into the shape of the 5 sacred creatures: the Celestial Qulin, the Snake, the Eagle, the elephant and the 3 legged Crow. As I was looking at the lavish looking hall, I walked out of it. I turn my head to look at the front, and I notice I'm in the imperial chamber.
I see 2 thrones where I spot a man in his forties and a woman in her thirties sitting down. I kneel down as I realize they are the king and queen of Jodung, and say "Your subject greets you, your majesty." I lower my head and wait for the king to speak.
"Raise your head."
I do as he says.
As I raise my head, I notice the king and queen staring at me. The king and queen were sitting on luxurious thrones made out of jade. This jade is not normal jade as it is imbued with qi making the jade golden and emit light. This jade is called Golden Qi Jade, a gem which is extremely strong.
After admiring their thrones, I rested my eyes on the royal couple. The king had silky, bleached blonde hair which hanged as bangs over his slanted eyebrows, small blue eyes, pointed nose, slightly pointed chin, angular cheekbones, average sized lips and sturdy jaw line. His height seems to about 6.2 feet tall and his frame was lean. Beside his side was a sword in a sheath which had many gems embedded into it. Both the sword and king released an intense aura of dominance and power. The queen had long, smooth light blonde hair which glowed with radiance. Although a veil covered her face, it was still possible to see her unmatched beauty. She had big, round golden eyes, a board rounded nose, plump cherry lips, thinly plucked eyebrows, angular cheekbones, a pointed chin and a wide jaw line. Her height was 5.7 feet and she had a hour glass figure. The queen held a paper hand fan in her hands and exuded a gentle but cunning aura. Both the king and queen were dressed in tight fitted, golden robes. The king was leaning back on his throne with his head resting on the fist of his hand on the hands of the throne. Beside him, the queen was leaning a little forward, showing her amazing cleavage, with interest in her eyes.
"What is your name?"
The kings' voice awoke me out of my stupor as I hastily respond "Your subjects name is Akito Fujita," while I bowed. After my bow, I once again stared at the king with seriousness, noticing a hint of amusement flash across his face.
The king then took out a golden scroll and asked "What will the name of your sect be?"
I grow happy in my heart, but I keep a straight face.
"The name is Heart's Flame, your majesty."
The king just nodded for affirmation as he wrote with black ink onto the scroll. Once he finished, he closed the scroll and tied a red string around it. He then handed it to me and said " I expect to hear great news from your sect."
I took the scroll and bowed while saying "Thank you for your encouragement your majesty. Your subject will take his leave now."
I flew out of the castle with joy in my heart, as I made my way to tell my sister the good news. Never did I expect that my sect will become the greatest under the heavens for all history, where most of the legendary figures originate from.

King's Pov:
As I watch Akito fly out of the castle, I hear my wife say " He will achieve great things."
I nod for affirmation and say "The next few years will be interesting."
As I say that, I hear a knocking on the door as a voice sounds.
"Your majesty, I, Professor Gale, have come to talk about the new sect leader, Akito Fujita."
I say "Come in."
A man in his fifties walks in. Short grey hair covers a bit of his green eyes as he stares at me.
"Your majesty, the new sect leader practices a cultivation method which I observed and think to be superior to that of the imperial cultivation method. As for the limits of its strength, I couldn't figure it out as the depth of its profundity is immeasurable by the likes of me."
Hearing this puts me into shock, as the man in front of my is one of the best cultivation professors in the empire, but even he can't figure the young man's cultivation method. To make matters worse, the method the young man uses is better than the cultivation method my imperial family uses. My face falls, as I say "Send the Imperial Assassination Squad to observe him. If he does anything detrimental to my family, eliminate him."
I sigh at the prospect of losing a prodigy, but my family is more important. I watch professor Gale sprint out of the room to inform the Imperial Assassination Squad as I ponder about this potential calamity.
Sorry guys, I know it is been long since I updated. I got more work from school and had other real life things to do. I'll try to post another chapter soon, but I can't promise anything as exams are around the corner. When school ends, I'll post chapters more frequently.
