With a surging momentum, the typhoon's existence continued to develop, piercing their way through the skies. Even people from the far regions were distracted by such phenomenon; however, there were some youngsters that were unaffected of what was happening outside, such as Ye Tian and the others whom were calmly cultivating, hoping to find that silver lining that could fruitfully increased their cultivation base within a short period of time.
Dadum...Dadum....Dadum!
The quickest to break though was Xiang Jiao! His cultivation base increased to the peak stage! A short while later, his cultivation base had revolutionalized into the supreme dao realm! He could feel his blood circulating faster than ever before; his bones and muscles were painfully tearing apart only to be regenerated into a stronger foundation base; his channel meridians expanding slowly; his sea of consciousness trembling as if it wanted to explode; and the most shocking thing was that he was acquiring mysterious flashing images that he had never seen before. It wasn't so long ago he experienced a similar state of awakening, although briefly, when he fell into despair trying to save Sun Mei from falling into her death. Although that brief awakening only lasted for a single breath, he remembered it clearly but he wasn't sure what it truly was.
It didn't take long for the others to experience the same thing Xiang Jiao was going through. The only exception was Ye Tian who continued to calmly chase for his opportunity.
Swirl!
The typhoons unexpectedly moved, extending their wrath further towards the solar space that even shocked the ruler of this mountain. Somewhere beneath the mountain, the big boulder's eyes were bulging out, shaken from the sudden development. The flame wolf excitedly jumped up and down while continuously looking back and forth towards his master and the typhoons that were swirling through the skies.
".....I can't believe this! Why are they all...." the big boulder murmured to himself, unable to explain the turn of event, but deep inside he knew what was going on, it's just he never expected this to ever happen in a million years!
Ye Tian could sense what was happening to the others. Unwilling to give up, he made his strongest effort yet, determind in finding that opportunity of a lifetime. An hour passed, yet Ye Tian couldn't sense anything magical that would change his cultivation. His confidence started to wane as time went by. Memories took over his mind, recalling the bitter struggle of his parents and the rest of the elders on that day of the massacre. A wave of different emotions came over him along with other memories he experienced.
He remembered when his parents were carrying him playfully when he was just a child. He remembered getting angry with his father, who purposely left him isolated inside a forest for a whole week of training. He remembered his younger sisters always grabbing his arms wherever he went. He remembered the celebrations of many happy events that had happened in the village. He remembered he often had to hunt and roast a wild boar when the kids started fighting each other.
These memories will always be within his heart, but the people will no longer be with him. This feeling had caused him to experience wild and powerful emotions that almost led him astray within his sea of consciousness. However, somewhere deep within his heart, a burning sensation began to illuminate over the shadows of uncertainty in his heart. This sensation he felt was his infinite will to never give up like an unbreakable fortress.
He had already peacefully accepted the 10 year limit he has in his remaining life, but he needed to find a way to break the chains of fate when that opportunity was in front of him! He needed to find answers!
"I am Ye Tian, the clan of Ye runs in my blood! The hope of the clan lies on my shoulder. The people you took away from me, I will make sure you pay for it even if I have to shatter heaven and hell!"
Ye Tian roared powerfully, like how an emperor dragon would after conquering his opponents from a chaotic war.

Dadum...Dadum...DaDum....DADUM!
The beating in Ye Tian's heart became louder, echoing through every channels of his body as if it was communicating with every single living cell that was within him. The changes that were occurring inside his body were different than what the others were experiencing. Minor changes were developing with his bones, meridians, and muscles, yet he was feeling excruciating pain. His blood was boiling so wild, the color even slightly changed to a richer and clearer crimson colour. Those strands of phoenix blood that were flowing within him were somehow gobbled up by Ye Tian's blood, but in reality, it seamlessly fused with his blood.
The color of his crimson blood matched with the crimson color of the typhoon that was swirling around him. Piercing dominantly towards the sky, his typhoon appeared chaotic in contrast to the calm nature of the typhoons that were swirling around the others. Another unexpected event occurred as the moons surrounding the world of Spirita started to move, aligning themselves with the typhoons swirling below. The moon's energy could be felt to be increasing in strength, and the light could be seen to be more luminous. This incredible change had a huge impact, expanding their influence throughout the continents and seas of Spirita. Every cultivator, beast, and other living beings could feel the divine energy and transcendent light traveling through the different places of the Spirita world where even the earth and seas were excitedly reacting to its divine nature.
Everyone who saw and felt this phenomenon would forever remember this, and thought nothing could top this until they saw a star....a glowing crimson star that gave off a feeling of overbearing dominance and unparalleled will towards every living beings living in the world of Spirita. The crimson star, even though it looked small from the distance, was actually big enough to crush other worlds. It continued to move slowly toward the moons until it suddenly stopped above the crimson typhoon that was swirling around Ye Tian.
Shriikkkk!
Suddenly the glimmering crimson star spat out a bright energy, where along the way, it transformed into a miniature star that was as small as a baby's palm, followed by golden strands of light. The miniature star meteorically descended at lightning speed, until it entered Ye Tian's forehead. No one could even see its speed, not even the great immortals or the hidden heroes who were cautiously watching the current phenomenon. Such an overwhelming energy caused Ye Tian to shriek in pain, almost losing control of his mind with every breath he took. Every second was crucial, because a slight lost of focus within his mind would lead to a crippled life or even death.
The golden strands never entered Ye Tian's body, instead they split off merging themselves within the swirling typhoon where some transformed into golden characters while others formed a picturesque frame. Even though he had his eyes closed, Ye Tian could sense these golden strands. Every time he used his senses to touch a character, a flow of knowledge were revealed. Although the knowledge was given, he still couldn't understand the true meaning of some of the more mysterious characters. When he used his senses to touch the picturesque frames, random scenes flowed within his mind. Some of the scenes he saw were similar to the story of what Fang Meng had told him - the ancient heroes, the ancient war with the demons, and her own civilization.
Meanwhile, the moons that aligned itself with Xiang Jiao and the others continued to flicker brightly. The purpose of the typhoons were to become a mechanism, in which it would allow Xiang Jiao and the others to absorb massive amounts of energy from their chosen moons, even if it was far away.
Ye Tian's face continued to show signs of struggle. If anyone entered his realm of tornado, they could clearly hear a heart thumping rapidly until it slowed down to nonexistence.
Shrieekkkk!
A piercing sound could be heard when Ye Tian's eyes finally opened. Within the pupil of his eyes, a transparent pattern of a star were branded within each of his iris. The tornado that radiated an aura of dominance eventually disappeared within thin air, returning itself into the pond. The fated crimson star slowly retreated once that connection separated, where its vibrant color started to dim darker.
"Shit......" the big boulder whispered to himself while trembling. He had lived for a very long time, perhaps since the ancient times, but he had never felt this way in a very, very long time.
While Ye Tian was feeling a wide array of emotions, the big boulder also experienced an overwhelming amount of emotions that led him to encounter some flashbacks of when he was younger. Some were positive emotions, most were negative, and yet a little smile appeared on his face. The flaming dog stared at his master, unable to decipher what this little smile meant. Every time he asked his master about his youth, inexplicable anger arose within his master's heart whenever he mentioned that "monster," and yet his master continued to excitedly talk about the stories of the past, especially when he was in human form traveling with other humans and other races, whom he would later on call his "big brothers and sisters."
