Renaissance Era - 5671  AP (After Pangu)  

“Flow with whatever may happen, and let your mind be free: Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate.” 

-Nan Hua Ch'en Ching

Nothing seems to deter too much from the ancient past. My soul must've slept for quite a bit of time, around 5671 years to be exact. Well, I do kind of feel sorry for this shattered world but I found something quite interesting information in one of the text. It said that many of supreme cultivation manuals and techniques got lost during the shattering of the world.

I see that's why my parents who are supposedly a king has that low cultivation level, I guess the deterioration was quite powerful for them to be able to rule a kingdom with a mere spirit severing cultivation.

All in all, this is a very good thing for me since I will be able to cultivate slowly with a damaged soul not worrying about others killing me.

Change of POV

Feeling quite satisfied with the result of his death Pangu left the library and went back to sleep in order for him to heal his wounds inflicted by the lightning snake. While Pangu was sleeping soundlessly another unbelievable incident unfolded hidden behind the curtains of darkness.

"Thou art shall Summon the great force.  Bring forth the blood rain SUMMON HEAVENLY SQUADRON! Bring down this insolent arrogant bastard! Show him no mercy!" however the shout of the king didn't reach anyone as the castle in itself was covered in the illusionary array and a powerful one at that. " Hahahaha, were you calling these guys?" the man covered in all black asked in great contempt.

As soon as the words came out of the man, ten soldiers all emitting a powerful aura materialized out of thin air wearing all white celestial like clothing. The celestial soldiers wore a mask covering their jade like smooth faces, the mask that depicted a sly fox with royal character engraved between the eyebrows.

"Ha, how could the heaven squadron betray our El family? They are our most cared and matured by the most highest quality cultivation materials just so our royal family could have an elite soldier" the king realizing the grave situation he was in, staggered back nearly falling to his butt cheeks.

"Who are you and what did you do with them!" feeling overwhelmed with the sudden tragedy he was facing, the king failed to keep his calm. But behind his dramatic display of emotions lay hidden a motive unknown to the enemy.

The man in black raised his hand indicating to the celestial soldiers to accomplish their goal and get this whole thing over with. But  just before the celestial soldiers initiate their attack to the king, the king's hand had a massive qi gathered to shape ancient dragon. "Ancient tyrannical El Dragon strike!" with a loud shout came  a gigantic twin headed azure dragon sweeping through the white clothed ex - heavenly squadron members. The attack was too fast which allowed no resistance from the celestial soldiers, with that all of  them fell to their last breathe.

However, this technique used his life force which completely depleted the kings remaining cycle of life. "Kuh, "

*puh* coughed mouthful of blood

"Who sent you here"

The face paled and his eyes turned lifeless.

With his remaining breath he could only ask this as he fell on the floor lifeless. "Tch, such a stubborn bastard killing our hard earned soldiers. How am I supposed to explain this to the higher ups" the man in black seemingly annoyed at his loss disappeared from the place leaving nothing but dead bodies of celestial soldiers and the king's. But naturally, he made sure to take the interspatial rings of the king and the soldiers containing most of the wealth the king and the soldiers hoarded.

Sun rose as it brought the sunshine over the calm kingdom bringing light to people's sight together with the great tribulation for the kingdom.

"Every now and then I guess we all think realistically about that day when we will be victimized with what is life's final common denominator--that something we call death. An enemy of all mankind, even the greatest of experts are vulnerable to it. Four decades ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent the most prosperous of all the kingdoms the High El Kingdom. We cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground he has founded for us. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the great task remaining before us. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here."

A man was wearing a crown which had great El family's symbol engraved on it. That man kowtowed to the statue in front of him, his own father. Showing his utmost sincerity he can muster from the faultiness of his words. A seemingly real tear fell down his cheeks as if begrudgingly cursing the heaven for the unfairness.

Pangu looked at this foreplay in front of him with a smirk on his face, disdaining the act of Patricide the man in front of him had kept hidden behind the nobleness of his action.

Today held a great funeral for his majesty El Jian and a greater ceremony of crowning the crowned prince, placing him on the throne. This caused many controversy topics to arise among the citizens of High El kingdom. "did you hear about that?" man in common uniform murmured to his friend next to him, "about what?" his friend answered with uncertainty, "about that man, that Crowned prince, El Hectic killed his highness the king", "what is that for real?" "Probably, look didn't he become the king even though a new genius emerged within the El family" "True that" "Shush, don't talk shit about our new king" man who was standing in front of the two shushed them as it might cause their heads to fall off if any soldiers of El family were to hear of it.

Stolen novel; please report.

After a peaceful and uneventful ceremony came a sudden decree from the new king and the changes it brought within the kingdom was massive. "Beheading of all the 'rebels' of the Royal family is to be executed (named all of the Pangu supporters), as a replacement of them we brought in our allied countries' second in power great Tian family elders to become a part of our great El family! This is to support stability and form a better foundation for our great kingdom"

"The new king is really bold! To dare even invite a foreigner to govern our kingdom!" unfortunately with this happening Pangu lost all his supporters and the king further solidified his place in the royal court.

Pangu as a five years old in this world was entitled to enter a sect to further improve his cultivation, however, as an ex-immortal, he felt great disdain toward these degenerated sects filled with nothing but greedy bastards killing fellow disciples for any benefits they can acquire.

However with all that said with an injured soul he needed a vast amount of medicines and pills in order to move forward in cultivation quicker. After that night Pangu's cultivation rose from qi condensation peak 7 to foundation building by forming a Perfect pillar indicating the vast talent had. He had to stop there as the snake resumed its attack on his soul. Feeling slightly dissatisfied with the snake disturbing his cultivation to greatness tried once more attacking it. This time, Pangu succeeded in forcing the snake to decline its length by a millimeter.

As a newly formed foundation expert, he used the 'Hidden Pangu technique' to hid his cultivation and lower it down to 6th level in qi condensation. As a third son of the king, he got a special treatment in entering the Soaring dragon sect. He went inside as an outer sect  disciple rather than a handyman whom must enter first.

"Young master this is the sect you are entering from today onward till age 13" a person in a butler costume bowed down respect toward Pangu. "This is it, I was feeling confined in that boring place so it might as well be a good vacation for me" feeling elated from leaving the castle where every movement of his was monitored by the guards and maids.

In front of Pangu laid a large Chinese like ancient castle with a large Board in the gate with a Soaring Dragon Sect written on it. The place was far bigger than the castle in High El kingdom. This place contained many of the young masters from nearby countries since this was one of the strongest Ancient Sect nearby the kingdom with Supreme Spirit severing masters as their ancestors.

You could hear a loud roar of students practicing Heavenly Dragon Kung Fu style fighting technique in a mob. The scene was spectacular as thousands of students lined up in a war like formation while practicing at an exact time and speed with the same posture and movement trying to follow along with the teachers in front. And when thousands of people those the same exact poses it creates a grand and imposing aura. There existed a variety of people in a different age group, some were tall and looked old while others looked small and young.

"Young Master, this is the Heavenly Dragon Kung Fu style one of the supreme human grade fighting techniques in this world! As an outer sect everyone is obliged to study this Fist martial art, and if you want any other techniques you must enter into the inner disciple."

"Humph a mere human grade technique no matter supreme or not are but weak martial art for mortals," Pangu said so while feeling humiliated from being shown such a weak and incomplete martial arts.

"Tch, young master you better not underestimate this martial arts since it is definitely better than the martial art you were given in the kingdom." The servant said so without any courtesy since he felt nothing but a disdain and maybe a slight pity to the boy in front of him as only a tragic fate awaits this young genius after entering the sect. 'Heh, you can act all high and mighty now but just wait till you get in this sect, there are many allies and spies my master has paid to destroy your cultivation'

After crowned prince ascended to the throne he implanted many of his people near Pangu as a spy and an informer on the latest course of action Pangu is taking. This so because the new king is afraid of Pangu being too talented and might shake his position as a king. So before anything might happen the king decided to kill him in the sect, since if he died in the sect no one in the kingdom would be able to blame him for killing him.

The new king even bribed many teachers and disciples in the sect to spy on him while announcing that he is willing to reward anyone who was able to kill Pangu a 100 thousand lower human grade spirit stones. So from the standpoints of the servants and maids, Pangu was destined to die without any chance of survival since he is too young.

Knowing the thoughts of the servants next to him Pangu ignored the contempt they had for him and just walked into the sect after showing the letter of introduction to the disciple working as a guard. Pangu stepped foot inside the sect while admiring the hard work the disciples were showing with their rhythmic practice of their martial art.

He saw some talented disciples showing a one with a world level, quite good for a retrogressed world he now lives in. While in midst of his thoughts, many disciples looked up and saw Pangu. they matched his appearance with the jade slip they were given by the King El Hectic and got excited since they found an easy money bag they can use to earn big money
