" Boundless Expanse , do you want to enter Boundless Expanse ?" A beautiful lady that can charm and enchant the universe into world of illusion asked Madara Uchiha with an Immortal Beautiful smile .
Madara shook his head and politely replied " maybe other time but right now , I am not ready for that "
The beautiful Goddess like beauty nodded in understanding " I understand , than we will wait for you there . Maybe not in the end of the Boundless Expanse but at least on somewhere there "
Madara blinked his eyes slowly while thinking about something before replying " it may take long , extremely long "
" As the Overlord , I have long lifespan enough to leave history to dust " with an understanding smile , the lady said " So take your time "
Madara walked calmly on the crystal clear river , creating ripples .
"You should know , I am not strong like Ancients . So why me ? " He asked.
"There is no one better than you who can be General to my army " the lady said while walking on the river , creating ripples.
Madara asked " but why ? "
"Because you have the potential to reach the end with your Immortal Body "
"Hm... " Madara didn't said anything for a long time before he asked " Heaven . What about Heaven ?"
The lady replied after standing side by side with Madara " Heaven has no influence in Boundless Expanse. It seem that Boundless Expanse holds a very terrifying origin or a secret that even prevents Heaven from spreading his authority over "
Madara frowned before he said " you want me to be General yet also Vanguard. Don't you ?"
"Hehe... " with a light giggle , the lady mocked him " are you scared ?"
Madara didn't replied to her but slowly nodded a bit .
The lady didn't criticise him for fearing Boundless Expanse but instead smiled and said " I too am scared to go on a journey but you should know right , Boundless Expanse is one of many mysterious and unrevealed Prehistoric Truth that we can't avoid or deny of it's existence "
"You... are right " Madara nodded .
" even Overlords like me are scared of Boundless Expanse that stops Heaven from having any authority over it " the lady revealed the truth " maybe others would think there are Treasures or Immortal Treasures there but for us , we know that only calamity awaits "
Madara didn't said anything and just watched the azure sky.
"We will all wait for you in the endless path , maybe someday you will come ." The eyes of lady were full of life and vitality " I don't know if we will be still waiting you there alive or not ? But if we were to be dead when you have come , at least talk to us even if it means talking to our dead bodies "
Madara laughed a little and said jokingly " do you take me for a fool ? I know an Ancients and Overlords like you , even if you die , your Body , Soul and Spirit wouldn't die truely unless you were to be wiped out from the existence. Who are you trying to fool ?"
"Hehe .... I guess so " an Overlord was not someone to die so easily. Even with Immortal Weapons , it is almost impossible to truly kill them .
If you kill their body , their body will become Undead , neither alive , neither dead . If you kill their Spirit , their Spirit will become Ghost , neither going to Hell or Heaven but becoming a Demonic Being of Mortal World . If you kill their Soul , they will become Will / Sentiment that will exist as long as eternity but can't leave the place where they died. Even natural death will give the same result.
And even if they died somehow , they will Reincarnate !!
It means , only if they are wiped / erased out of existence , they will truly die !!
But to erase them , even if you are Omnipotent Existence , you need to be ready to sacrifice your power for real . And the amount of power you need to sacrifice will depend on how strong your target is ?
Because Ancients and Overlords doesn't relies on source of the Universe or Heaven but grows their own source.

Time was stagnated while Space was confined .
The harmony between those two elements were like Yin Yang , balancing each other .
Madara was hovering in mid air with his legs crossed in lotus position. Eyes closed yet he could see the whole world .
He was the moving Time and he was the Eternal Time . He was Space and he was the omnipresent Space .

"Creak" suddenly the door opened by someone and a young maid walked in .
This young maid was non other than Rong Qin . Madara had notice her even before she entered compound of guest house with his superior sensory ability.
When Rong Qin saw Madara in a state where he was Time - Space and Time - Space was him , she was enchanted by the profound beauty that was surrounding him .
Madara slowly opened his eyes , but when he opened , they seem to hold the profound truth of Life - Death , never ending mystery of Time - Space .
Rong Qin felt as if she has just experience nine reincarnations just by watching his pair of Divine Eyes .
Slowly Madara Rinne-Sharingan returned back to normal . Looking at Rong Qin , he asked " what are you here for ? "
"Ah... " only when Madara spoke , Rong Qin regain her senses and replied " Patriarch has asked you to join for dinner with them "
It was nighttime and time for dinner . Madara looked outside and saw it was already night . He nodded and prepared to leave .
*****
In Wong Family dinner hall , there were already people gathered for dinner.
The patriarch of the family -- Wong Dai , Xing Yue Ai , Great Elder Wong Long and Great Elder Wong Hu .
There was a round table and wooden chairs encircled around. On the table were dishes placed , they all were exuding delicious and warm , fresh aroma .
The people gathered in the dinning hall were all discussing about something and the topic was Madara and Wong Dali .
"Since Sage Madara is staying here in our humble house , why don't we make use of this opportunity to find out what is wrong with Wong Dali with help of Sage Madara ?" Suggested a Great Elder , Wong Hu .
Great Elder Wong Long nodded " he is right , according to stories , it is said Sage have a Divine Ability call Sage Gaze that sees through profound truth of world " he smiled and looked around " maybe he may help us "
Xing Yue Ai was of course happy and excited to learn that her youngest son would be treated. She will definitely ask for help from Sage Madara .
As a mother , how can she not care for her son ?
While the patriarch of Wong Family -- Wong Dai , is also ecstatic as everyone. He is a kind and very understanding person which is why even after his youngest son turn out to be trash in Cultivation , he still didn't bring that topic to criticise his son .
He is both a loving father , responsible husband and trustworthy leader .
He just smiled and said nothing. He let his elders decide what to do ? But seeing everyone discussing about his youngest son's wellbeing , he just felt warmth in his heart .
"I am back " suddenly everyone heard a cheerful voice resounding inside dinning hall .
There they saw a young man in his early 20 walking inside dinning hall . He was wearing a simple looking clothes , he looks handsome but because of his plain outfit , his handsome-ness could not be displayed to full potential. Although wearing just plain clothes , he was already fit and fine enough to be a world class model on Earth !!
Short black hairs and pair of black pupil eyes , he has white skin that looks refined. Tall and very charming , almost like prince charming which he has inherited from his mother.
"Little Dali , you are back . How was your day today ?" Xing Yue Ai asked her son in a motherly voice upon seeing her son enter the dinning hall .
Sitting on one of empty seat , Wong Dali said with a smile " it was good , mother "
After a smile chit - chat , Great Elder Wong Long suddenly changed the topic " little Dali , today you should not create trouble for us like always . You should know today there is an important guest staying in our Wong Family and is coming to dine with us "
"Important guest ?"Wong Dali felt curious about who could this important guest be ? So he asked " is this guest from some another city ?"
Shaking his head ,Great Elder Wong Long explained " no , he is a traveller. He is a young Sage temporarily stopping on his journey in our Wong Family "
"A Sage ? What is a Sage ? Are they strong as you Grandpa Long ?" Wong Dali is not interested in matter regrading Cultivators because he knows with his Talent , he can't even temper his body , let alone opening his Immortal Meridians and Cultivating Spiritual Qi .
"Haha.... " his grandpa Long ( Great Elder Wong Long ) laughed at the silly question and felt funny. This child has never shown any interest in Cultivation World after failing to Cultivate for many times. This child has actually eaten more than hundred Qi Divination !!
For even a Cultivation Geniuses , facing a single Qi Divination can lead them to crippling or even death !! But Wong Dali has survived despite facing hundred of Qi Divination , leading his seven Chakra in his body to greatly weaken and turn into weak man even compare to ordinary humans !!
"If a Saint seeks Dao , if an Immortal accepts Dao , than Sage questions Dao " with a light smile , Great Elder Wong Long said .
Xing Yue Ai also joined " Sage are someone that has great wisdom and even ability to Divine someone's Fate , Destiny and Karma "
"Wow !! They are that cool " with a shinning eyes , Wong Dali felt interesting but still he asked " so ... is this Sage thing strong as you Grandpa Long ?"
"....." everyone fell into silence for a while before erupting into a laughter.
His mother elaborated with loving smile " if you compare Sage with your Grandpa Long , it's like you are questioning authority of Heaven !!"
"Oh...."Nodding his head , Wong Dali understood " so Grandpa Long is the Heaven "
"...." once again a silence atmosphere dominated the confined dining hall .
"No my son , in this case , Sage is the Heaven " finally his father, Wong Dai explained.
"Sage are that powerful ? " Wong Dali was surprise. He has seen his Grandpa Long annihilating an entire mountain with just wave of his sleeve so effortlessly yet his father said Sage are more powerful !!
He suddenly began to admire Sage for some reason !!
"Father , father , I also want to be a Sage !! How can I be a Sage ?" He questioned his father with excited voice.
But before his father replied , a calm and sagely voice was heard " in order to be Sage , you don't need to Cultivate in Cultivation System and just question Dao and achieve Grand Dao " this is also why , Madara was able to become Sage despite not being able to Cultivate.
Turning around everyone saw Madara and young maid Rong Qin entering dinning hall .
With a respectful manner , everyone stood and greeted him in courtesy. Seeing his elders , Wong Dali also cleverly followed them .
"No need to stand on ceremony , please sit down " Madara said to everyone.
"You are a Sage ?" Asked Wong Dali in excitement.
Madara looked at Wong Dali and pretended to observe him from head to toe which nervous everyone.
"Aura of Misfortune " Madara murmured in a soft tone . He acted as if he wanted hide the thing he said but in fact deliberately murmured enough for everyone to hear .
Even though he didn't spoke out loud , everyone heard him ' mistakenly' .
" Aura of Misfortune ?" Everyone looked at Madara with question marks on their head .
Madara looked around and pretend to look surprise before apologising " I am sorry , it seem I 'slipped' my tongue "
Even though no one knows what an Aura of Misfortune is ? But at least anything related to Misfortune can't be good right ?
