“Ha ha ha….Finally! I have obtained this legendary treasure! Soon, soon…..,” The masked bandit laughed out loud.
“Reporting to elder, everyone has been killed with no witnesses alive,” one of the bandit said while kneeling to the man who was just laughing.
The masked bandit’s eyes sparkled and said, ” Wonderful, we will go back now. Make sure you burn all the bodies and the whole place like it never existed.”
“Yes Elder!”
The masked elder continue to laugh as he left with the treasure he stole, gripping it tightly. This man was ecstatic. He’s been searching for decades on this legendary treasure that was said to have the power to shake the world of Spirita. Just about five years ago, he found clues that the treasure might be in a nameless village isolated from the continents. It was through sheer luck and determination that he found the existence of this village, which was purposely hidden to guard something important. He carefully planned everything for this day and finally got his hands on the ultimate treasure!
The remaining bandits were ordered to clean up the village. Ye Tian’s body was dragged and thrown to a pit filled with dead bodies of the villagers and the bandits who died as well. The bandits started whispering, moving their hands quickly showing different patterns. All of a sudden, a burning flame appeared in the air and it gradually became bigger and hotter. This flame was a spell summoned by the groupd of bandits.
“Flame void, burn!”
The flame moved towards the bodies, burning slowly the first few seconds until it rapidly increased in intensity and radius that ended up burning the whole village. The heat was so intense, all they could see was a crimson color surrounding the whole area.
“We should return now. Mission accomplished.” The group leader said. After 20 minutes of watching the village being burned, they disappeared from the area. Not even a powerful immortal could survive the flame that took place here.

The village was still burning like an underground hell. Within the wave of the crimson flame, bodies that were once there, no longer existed…..except for one! This body belonged to Ye Tian, Who still appeared unharmed and unconscious. Then a spirit the size of a fist came out of his body and looked at Ye Tian momentarily before the spirit went back inside his soul spark. Why was this happening? After several hours, the flame died out leaving a place of void with Ye Tian's body lying on the ground.
In the middle of the night, when everything baceme calm and quiet, Ye Tian opened his eyes. Confused and dazed, he was shocked he hadn't died yet. He checked all over his body, there were blood stains all over his clothes, but the opened wounds were no longer there.
“What happened? How did I survive?,” thought Ye Tian. He tried to recall everything that happened that night but couldn’t figure out anything. Unable to find a single clue, he was angry, sad, and desperate to find someone else alive other than him. How did the bandits find this place?
Suddenly, he felt a burning sensation within his heart. He used his qi to scan his internal body. Ye Tian, at 15 years old, was considered a phenomenal genius among the cultivators world. He had reached the early stage of the Supreme Dao realm. No record in history have reached the same stage as he did at his age. With time, he would become a legend amongst legendary heroes. A rare genius at his agenwould be at the early stage of the Great Dao realm, which is below the Supreme Dao realm. And below the Great Dao realm was the start of all realms, the Master Dao realm.
After scanning his internal body with his qi, Ye Tian found a blue pearl within his heart. He tried to extract it, but he realized it already became a part of him. He tried to think how did this object came to into his possession in the first place. He finally came to a conclusion, that it was probably his father that secretly pushed this pearl into his body while he was running away. The pain that he felt from his dad’s palm was most likely the result of this pearl. After connecting this pearl with his father, Ye Tian tried to figure out what this pearl can do. He tried using different spells to activate it, but nothing happened. He tried to connect with it, but there was no response. Every trick he knew turned out to be useless. In the end there was no progress.
Ye Tian finally opened his eyes, the sun started to rise in this early morning. He looked around and sighed, because he saw nothing but a grazed land. Finally, he remembered his sisters and the other children!
He became extremely worried that they have shared the same fate as the rest of the elders. He quickly got up and ran towards the hidden underground area. Before he left, he took a final look at the place thatwas once belonged to his home, droppping to his knees and bowing countless times. Each bow was to respect and remember each member of the village, especially his parents!
