Yu Wang opens his eyes. What greeted him were green trees and a few birds chirping sounds flying around on top of the trees.
Then immediately Yu Wang coughed up blood.
In his cores was a globule of blood that tries to penetrate the shining golden core but the golden core was very pure that the trace of red black globule is instantly evaporated into nothingness.
What happened? he mused.
Then he racked his brain and his mind quickly recall the moments when he was fighting Chong Houhu, a very powerful cultivation expert and he was ready for his death when suddenly he is teleported to this place.
He looks at his gripped hand and slowly he loosen his grip on the tablet. He could feel the tablet is still on his ahnd, and he already have an inkling what the tablet was.
He hoped it was wrong. Then his eyes look at the tablet, seeing the glow has already disappeared and he sighed.
‘Senior Su Hu is too kind! He sacrifices himself for this Junior! A lifetime, this Junior could not repay this deed!’
Yu Wang could not help but be thankful and at the same time feeling sorrows in his heart, knowing that Su Hu could not possibly escape Chong Houhu.
Teleportation Tablet. Also called Time-Space Tablet. In Yu Wang heart was admiration towards Su Hu.
And then, come regret and pity in his heart. Regret for not having enough strength to help Su Hu, pity at his Chong Houhu seeing him practicing such evil cultivation technique.
Only Yu Wang in this cultivation world would pity the evil.
Yu Wang is not angry only regrets and pity. His First Teacher teaching have shaped the man Yu Wang will be.
He is generous, kind, smart but not prideful. Humble and forgiving, he is the ideal principles of a sincere person.
He will embodies the wu wei principles. At least that is what his first teacher tries to instill in him.
His Second Teacher teaches him to be confident and appreciate strength but not cower before it.
True strength comes from within.
While he must appreciate strength and seek it, it must not blind him. His Third Teacher teaches him of the multi-faceted behaviors of people.
There are evil en and good men.
Which is the right answer for dealing with evil? Is there a right answer? The root of evil is in the heart and intent.
From there sprouted evil actions. But never lose hope. This is the crux of his Third Teacher teachings. To not lose hope.
He is not angry.
Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
For a man like Chong Houhu…he is to be pitied. Only Yu Wang would have this opinion. Most people would call him idiots for having such views.
To even eat humans like a demon that lies beyond Ming Dynasty, such person should be beheaded and suffer the pain of a thousand cuts.
He also felt regret towards what happen to Su Quanzhong. He only knew the man for a few hours but it must be said, that Su Quanzhong is an upright character.
Pity! Such pity!
He get up and sitting in a meditating position. He slowly circulates his breathing and he realizes that his gourd is almost full in his Sea Of Consciousness.
Then he closes his eyes and he is transported to his sea of consciousness. And in front of him was the sea.
And he is standing on a patch of land in the middle of the sea. And a hut of a very terrible condition.
He never heard of a Sea Of Consciousness where the cultivators could enter like it was a dream.
Unknown to Yu Wang, was that when someone reaches the Heaven Realm they have the ability to travel in their own Sea of Consciousness.
The Sea of Consciousness in where energy resides, an imaginary space that stores the spiritual power inside someone and where spiritual manifestation occur in a way that humans could perceive.
But why then Yu Wang could have the ability to enter his sea of consciousness?
He did not know and most of the heroes under heaven will also not know. But heaven will show the way, someday.
But for now Yu Wang who never heard of such thing just unconsciously drawn to the dilapidated hut.
Then he feels the sun heat in his skins.
Yu Wang looked upwards and he sees two suns. Bizarre he mused. Then he walks to the hut.
He pushes the door and the door almost shattered, not because of Yu Wang force but because of its own frailty.
Slowly Yu Wang enters.
In it he sees a large gourd. This is his soul item. He spent some time looking in the hut. There is no bed, no furniture, an empty hut with only the large gourd in the middle of the hut.
Seeing that there is nothing wrong with his sea of consciousness, Yu Wang awakened.
His spiritual energy will take time to recover. Following his third teacher collecting medicines and debating about medicines he knew his own condition.
It will take him a few months before his spiritual energy return to his previous condition. Then he looks at the sky and standing up.
Then he kowtowed to the ground. Getting up from kowtowing he then said looking at the sky his hand
‘The fierce wind blows, the ocean roars, a sincere person is undying. No matter how big the earth or high the heavens, in my life I'll only reply with good. Cry without restraint, laugh without restraint, the pain of joy is undying. My teacher wanted me to wander the rivers and lakes. To live unrestrained. But Yu er will not forget the deed of the Su clan and Yu er dares not being ungrateful. This life, this moment, I Yu Wang pledge to heaven and Earth, the Sun and the Moon, the last request of Senior Su Hu, this Junior will honour. May Heaven , the all ruling, and Earth, the all producing read my hearts. If I turn from my promise, may Heaven and heroes smite me!’ He said with determination, with zealous heart.
It is not known what prompt him to swear such a pledge to Heaven and Earth but Su Hu sacrifices is truly one thing Yu Wang could not just forget or ignore.
The old man sacrifices himself for him, how could he be so heartless to not honor his request and last wish?
He then stand up and in his mind, there is only one objectives. To find Su Daji and protect her.
But first he needs to know where he is. He has nothing on him other than his bag of holding. He checks on his bag and nothing seems to be missing.
He then walked to the opening of the mountain.
Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.
In the time it takes 5 incense sticks to burn, he encountered an old man , maybe around 40 or 50, his face was tan, maybe because of the sun, his vein bulging with veins, and have a muscly body, wearing a black robe, shoveling around in a field.
Yu Wang appearance gives an air of noble air, and power. With white robe and spiritual pressure that is purer than anyone in the Profound Understanding level.
Yu Wang is Profound Understanding Peak level, fighting a Pure Soul cultivator is nothing.
In Profound Understanding level no one could match the intensity of his spiritual pressure their heart would tremble, their soul will be shaken.
But towards person of higher level of cultivation while he is pure he is still no match. How can his spiritual energy be pure?
He has never killed with hatred, only as a final solution. Always for the greater good and always as last resort.
At least that is what he is determined to do.
In all his life he has never killed anything or anyone be it humans or beast. Living in the Primal Chaos Mountain with his teachers which beast dare cause harm to him?
Not to mention the teachings of his teachers was profound and further help Yu Wang in perfecting his spiritual energy.
Even though he is still of Profound level the grace in which he walks and the aura he emitted cannot be hidden.
This is thanks to his calmness and understanding of The Way of Heaven.
He then cupped his hand to the old man and asks
‘Forgive me Uncle, my name is Yin Zheng. May I ask the name of this mountain?’ He said politely and with courteous attitude even lowering his head.
He did not say his real name. He remembers he might being chased by Chong Houhu right now.
Yin Zheng is a name he remembered from accidentally taking a peek in the Annals of Time and Destiny belonging to his first teacher.
He was scolded heavily by his teacher because it was madam Xi Wangmu scroll which she accidentally left out when she first came to visit his teacher.
The name just pop into his head for no apparent reason. Mostly because what he reads about the man named Yin Zheng.
He is still lowering his head to the old man.
Yu Wang is a cultivator and it is clear in front of him just a normal mortal who does not practice cultivation.
Yet, Yu Wang did not think such things matter. There is propriety and showing respect to the old is a teaching as old as time.
The old man was f course startled. The old man than look in front of him and see a very comely young man with a very soothing aura.
The old man quickly regains his composure and smiles. Then he remember the way the man introduce himself.
‘Yin Zheng? The Qin royal family?’ The man asked his eyes already shows that he is ready to prostate himself before the Yu Wang.
Yu Wang quickly holds the old man arms preventing him from prostrating.
‘No. I am not’ he said.
‘Why do you think I am from the Qin royal family?’ The old man stopped trying tpo kneel and answer Yu Wang question.
‘The Qin royal family name is Ying, descendant of the Xia. Seeing the noble air from sire ( tell me if this sounds wrong. Feel like it’s wrong) it looks like Sire is descended from a noble lineage.’
Yu Wang shakes his head.
‘I am just a wandering cultivator, exploring the hills and mountain. Not royalty. I would appreciate if Uncle could tell where this is and what state is this.’ Yu Wang said respectfully.
The old man feel sure that this young man is not of some ordinary background but the young man insist that he is nothing but a wandering cultivator.
If he wants to hide his identity it is not his problem.
The old man then said, introducing himself.
‘My name is Zhu Ren. I hail from Great Ming.’
‘Ming people!’ Yu Wang exclaimed.
‘It is a long way from home.’ Yu Wang said
‘This old man wanted to see the world, exploring the hills and mountains’ the man said smiling at Yu Wang and Yu Wang also smiles.
This old man also has some secrets Yu Wang noted.
‘To answer your question, this is the state of Zhou. This is the Buzhou mountain.’ The old man said.
‘Supporting the Heavens, Gong Gong smashes his head in anger, Nuwa repairing the sky’ Yu Wang said smiling. He remembers the story his second teacher told him.
‘HAHAHA’ the old man laughs.
‘True. Tales of Gods and devil battling has long been passed down. Young man is knowledgeable, must have great background.’
‘This is nothing. This is nothing. Stories this Junior heard in my journey.’ The old man is hesitating. This young man does not let even a chink of armour appear.
‘This Buzhou Mountain in supported by the Heaven Pillars Sect.’
‘Heaven Pillars Sect?’ Yu Wang said
‘Yes, if you climb a little higher you could see many houses in the mountains. Many of young cultivators of Zhou train in Heaven Pillars Sect. It’s one of the five Great Sect in Zhou.’
Then Yu Wang cupped his hand again and said
‘Thank you for helping this Junior.’
‘No need. No need.’ The old man said. A little while later Yu Wang reached higher and then he stopped in front of a gate.
On top of the gate is the inscription
HEAVEN PILLARS SECT
Beneath that inscription is written
SUPPORTING THE HEAVEN, HELPING THE PEOPLE, LOYAL TO THE STATE. GREAT VIRTUES EMBEDDED, THE WORLD WILL BE PEACEFUL.
Yu Wang smiles and pushes the gate.
