In front of his teacher now is Cinnamon Duck Meat, red colors sauce with a little green chili is slathered around the meat creating an appetizing dinner, Chestnut Tofu that can restore energy, improve bone loss, and stimulates appetite, Boiled Meat with Fire Lotus of miniscule amount that will dispel cold and sickness, and Roasted Duck , a crisp and soft meat is produced because of the prodigious nature of Yu Wang talents in cooking.

‘Yu-er like always your cooking is heavenly’ his third teacher said slurping the soup and smiling with satisfied expression.

‘It is thanks to Third Teacher teaching me about the culinary arts that I could make such delicacies.’ Yu Wang reply

‘HAHAHA.’ Yu Shibao laugh with pride.

‘See that! What a great student you are! You should become a cook! A great cook. The greatest cook of them all’ he roared

‘Hmph’ Lingbao and Tianzun snorted.

‘So what!’ Tianzun said.

‘Will knowing how to cook save his life fighting evil people, or save him from dangers?’

‘Well, cooking and herbal knowledge will make him a Shenyi, a divine doctor, saving lives and garnering good deeds so his tribulation would be easier. What good if he learns weapons and killing technique, spreading bloodshed and chaos in the cultivation world, despised and reviled by the people under Heaven?’

‘Hmph, and cooking would save him from the tribulation? This old man has gone senile Lingbao! Without learning about cultivation, without learning battle skills and martial arts, the moment Yu-er step down this mountain he would be pounced, taken advantage of, being made fun of, and have no face to hide! Without a cultivation base he would only become victims of this harsh world. The strong survives the weak dies. The weak could not choose how they die, but at least a strong man had the power to choose.’ Tianzun said passionately

‘First Teacher, what is this talk about going down to the mountain?’ Yu Wang said, his heart is beating with excitement. He has never seen the outside world and he very much like to see it.

From what third Teacher always told him, outside the Mountain, there are cities and Kingdoms, with many people, and with many schemes.

Some are good, some are evil. Make acquaintance with good people, and avoid the bad people.

Tianzun look at his other two brothers and then he sighed.

‘You have reached 12 years old, Yu-er. How could we be so selfish not to let you wander the rivers and lakes, the hills and mountains, the abyss and the peak? To see the world and learn from it?’

His other two brothers nodded.

‘Yu-er all this years you have treated us three elders like your own father, listening to our advice and admonishment well. You are a good child, kind and wise beyond your years. In martial arts you are fast in comprehension, in weapons you are a quick learner, in memorizing formula and prescription of medicines your mind caught everything. We have taught you more than we ever taught anyone else.’ Lingbao said

Yu Wang looks at his teachers and suddenly his face turned solemn.

‘Does..Teachers does not like Yu W-‘

‘How could that be!’ Tianzun said.

‘We three brothers are great cultivators but we never met any woman that could move our hearts and we never married anyone. Now we are old and searching for a bride is hardly inappropriate. But with you, us three could feel what it felt like to have a son, to watch you grow.’

Lingbao and Shibao nodded

‘You must leave the Primal Chaos Mountain before the end of this week. Senior Xi Wangmu will fight the 8 Devils of the East, who came from the Penglai Mountains and the surrounding Island because of a promised duel. Surely great devastation would happens, damage to the mountains, and surrounding areas, spirit pressure that will surely overwhelm such a child like you. We have always promised to help her and our word is our bond. Since it is like that we also feel that it is time for you to journey the world.’

Yu Wang shed his tears. No matter how excited Yu Wang is, he is still a child.

Since he was a kid, all he knows is his three teachers, and the Madam that lives in the Palace near the lake, and after he heard that he has to leave first his heart is full of excitement because he could see the outside world, then it changed into sadness knowing how long before he could return back to Primal Chaos Mountain?

Yu Wang knows that in this mountains Spiritual beast, Demonic beast and its kind is also roaming the woods but none of them dare attack Yu Wang because of his teacher.

With this alone, he knew that to enter might be easy but to get out is harder. But maybe that is not true.

After all it is not like he enters the Primal Chaos Mountain; it was that he was invited in.

Yu Wang of course doesn’t know the importance of such events, to be invited to enter to Primal Chaos Mountain.

Treasures for cultivation, herbs that could produce Heavenly Realm Soulscape and Heavenly Realm strengthening item for Spirit Items. Spirit item for everyone is different.

For Yu Wang it is a gourd. But it will change. If so why has no one ever attack it? It is not for lack of trying but since Wangmu Niangniang guarded the Mountains who dares attack it?

Not to mention his teacher who has magical items, and great powers, their spiritual pressure alone would ward of great beast of the Earthly Realm, even if the beast is the peak of earthly realm.

Those who dares, already meet their maker, all of them bleeding from seven apertures.

‘Tomorrow we will have our final lesson’ his first teacher said. Yu Wang nodded and then he hugged his teacher and cries a bit.

‘HAHAHA. Yu-er, you are a good child and you have a good head on your shoulder, you will be fine.’ His Second teacher said.

Yu Wang just nodded.

‘Now come on, sit and let us eat. Yu Wang nodded, sit, grabbed the food stick (tell me if it’s wrong) and began chowing down on the food, trying to ease his worries.

Tianzun bitterly smile and patted the boy head.

‘Slowly, Yu-er. Slowly’ Lingbao on the other hand also like Yu Wang, chowing down on the food , tears in his eyes.

Of all the three brothers, Lingbao is the most childish but he is also the most dangerous.

In the world there is only a few that could match his mastery in weapons, and his mysterious weapons, a Ruyi that he held that has mysterious power.

If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

When his two brothers brought the child, the feeling that Lingbao has for the child is lukewarm but slowly that feeling changes. The child is very obedient, kind and very respectful to the elders.

Even though most of the time his request is ridiculous. Yu Wang has always tried his best fulfilling his whims. How could he not be charm by such a young boy?

Yu Tianzun on the other hand is calmer than his two brothers.

Like he tells Lu Shang, his other disciple to go down the mountain, he too will ask Yu Wang to go down the mountain and attain his own destiny.

In Lu Shang case, he is destined for fame and honour and he, of all the brothers would stay loyal to heaven's will and effectively send Yu Wang away to his new destiny.

It was destiny that he meets this boy in a desolate battlefield and it is destiny that he should leave. He understands better than to try to meddle with destiny and fate.

They ate in silence that night each with their own feelings and opinion but suddenly Lingbao stood up.

‘Yu-er, I’ve finished eating. I have something to do’ he said suddenly leaving the kitchen and fly outside with a flash of light he disappeared to the distance.

Tianzun just nodded. Lingbao must be overwhelmed with grief right now. But unbeknown to the others, Lingbao is flying towards Senior Xi Wangmu house.

Yu Wang just looks for a while on the direction of his teacher and then resume eating and then went to bed, thinking of the journey he will set out in a week.

*************************************************************************

That morning he first went to his first teacher house.

Quickly Yu Wang enters the house and then he could see his teacher is waiting for him.

‘First Teacher!’

In the hand of his first teacher is a book.

‘Sit down Yu er. Today there is nothing for me to teach you.’

‘That is impossible teacher. There are so many things for me to learn.’

‘Yes, but all in due time. Forcing things is not the Way. Now sit.’ Yu Wang obediently sits, his eyes did not leave the book.

‘Today I will tell you something about yourself you don’t know, Yu-er.’

Yu Wang startled. Could it be….they knows my true parents? From the very beginning he knows that he was found by his First teacher and third Teacher and brought into the Mountains…but could there be another story?

‘Before that, tell me….how many realms there is in the cultivation base?’ Tianzun ask him

Hmm? This is not what he is expecting, anyway he answers.

‘There is the Human realm, Earthly realm, and Heaven Realm.’

‘How many ranks for each realm?’

‘6 for each realm.’

‘How many levels for each rank?’

‘Ten for each rank.’

‘Explain’

‘Low, Middle, Peak. Level 1 to 4 is Low, 5 to 7 is middle, 8 to 10 Peak.’

‘Tell me the name of the rank of Human Realm.’ Yu Wang recited perfectly

‘New to the World, Profound Reflection, Profound Understanding, Profound Soul, Pure Soul and Union with Nature.’

‘What about the Earth realm?’

Once again Yu Wang recited it perfectly.

‘Earth realm has Soul Intuition, Flowing Power, Great Spirit, Fortitude Adept, Peak Expert, Enlightened Expert’

‘And Heaven Realm?’

Heaven realm is the hardest to break into and only a few have ever broke it, it can be counted in one hand.

Yu Wang knows that his teachers must be a heaven Realm cultivator but he does not know what rank. Still he answers his teacher question

‘Heaven Soul, Divine Talent, Perfected Marvel, Primordial Lord, Supreme Primordial and Golden Immortality.’

‘Yes, Golden immortality’ his teacher said with a sighing. Then he looks at Yu Wang and his eyes is shining and then he speaks.

‘In the entire time I have been alive, and believe me, I have lived very long, I have never heard of anyone breaking through the last rank, Golden immortality. I’ve met a Primordial Lord but Golden immortality? Never. Yu-er do you know what happens when you first step into the heaven realms?’

Yu Wang shakes his head.

‘The Tribulation from Heaven will descend.’

‘Tribulation from Heaven?’ Yu Wang said.

‘Yes, true. That is why people who have reached the peak of Earth realm do not cultivate anymore. Even though in front of Heaven Realm cultivator they are nothing but ants and trash even Earthly realm cultivators do not envy such power. Do you know why?’

‘No’ Yu Wang answered

‘Earth realm practitioner could live up to 500 years old, that is always the limit even for the peak Earth realm cultivators. But a Heaven Realm cultivator could live infinitely unless they are killed by someone stronger than them. But why then there is only a few of Heaven Realm cultivator? It is because the Trials are too hard and eventually we will fall. Unless they reach the final rank the Golden Immortality, the trials will come every a hundred year. Everyone knows how to advance to the Heaven Realm but they purposely hold back. This is why Heaven Realm cultivators are feared but not envied. But you are different Yu-er.’

‘Me? What do you mean first teacher?’

‘You are the answer’ he said and his eyes shine with pride.
