“Congratulations my lord it’s a boy”, said a women. She was holding a baby in her arms. The man in front of her had silver hairs and golden eyes with jade green hue in them. He looked to be in his mid-20.
“Let me check it, I want to know now!” said the man. He was nervous too. He looked at the women who was asleep at the bed inside the room she had green hairs and blue eyes. She was sleeping inside after the birth. Her smile was still present on her lovely face. He activated his spirit energy and sent it inside the child. After some time his face frowned, thinking about it for some time he let out a sigh.
As soon as the sigh escaped from his mouth an old man who was silently observing the situation from aside suddenly said,” Let me check”. He had green hair and green eyes which looked full of wisdom. He first sent his spirit energy inside the boy thought for some time and then sent his pulse energy inside his face gradually returned to normal.
“Hmm, Spiritless boy with spirit palace, he got this from you I assume but he also got a grade 7 spirit pulse with wood-fire attributes. This must be his mother blood. So what do you think?” he asked the man with silver hairs.
“I think he holds the same destiny as I do. I want to send him to my clan. What do you think?” asked the man.
“It’s a good choice there is still some inheritance of your ancestors left there. He may get a chance too if he is fated to it, if not then we will see.” said the old man.
“I will tell shasha about your decision. I think she will appreciate your decision.” Said the old man.
The storm outside didn’t stopped, the thunder was as dazzling as ever.
About ten years have passed by since that day passed. A middle aged man with silver hairs with golden eyes and good built body was taking a kid with silver hairs & ash grey eyes the kid looked to be about 10 years old he had childish air surrounding him & was very eager to walk with this man.
“Grandpa when will I get a spirit form and become a spirit cultivator”, he asked full of curiosity.
“My boy you are asking me the same question for 2-3 days already. The spirit awakening ceremony is going to take place tomorrow so get yourself together with it”, he said full of enthusiasm.
John remembered his last 4 years of efforts and training his body. His grandfather was the 3rd elder of the tiger sword clan. A clan specializing swords as their spirit and tiger beasts as their pulse. It was said that the first patriarchy of the clan was a heavenly iron tiger. He reached the peak of cultivation of this Spirit-Pulse world and passed down his bloodline into his descendants so that they too possess tiger-type beasts as their pulse and then he made contract with naturally formed sword spirit treasures to be their spirit form and sealed them within his blood. So therefore many of the peoples in the clan get tiger type spirit pulse and sword type spirit forms. The clan specialises in swords. John was a genius of his age. He could go toe to toe with newly promoted spirit master while not using their spirit energy only in sword arts. He didn’t cultivated any sword arts since only after achieving spirit energy and getting to the spirit master rank can he know about the elements he specialises in. He was currently at the peak of the mortal rank and was trying to sense the spirit energy to open his spirit palace but was unable to. It has been half year since he has tried but to no avail. Now tomorrow at the clan main hall every children with peak mortal cultivation will have their spirit energy and pulse energy forcefully awaken with the help of the clan master and elders energy using array.

His grandfather has given him a pair of grade 3 short sword artifacts. Artifacts were made by the body of the beasts who cultivated energy and were at higher ranks. Grade 3 artifact meant a artifact made by the body of a beast at a rank higher than spirit masters. Not only bones but the beast essence and spirit crystal were also used to make weapons. Sometimes grade 3 ores were used too.
The ceremony to awaken the spirit and pulse used a formation of energy supply to awaken every energy present in the body. And the elders provided the energy supply with their own energy. Some self-awaken children awake it at age 8 but the perfect vessel to awake it was at age 10 and at mortal cultivation peak rank.
John’s grandfather had told him that he has special bloodline so he doesn’t need to worry about spirit form and all. Having bloodlines meant having a good spirit pulse. But spirit pulses generally had limited growth and so john was excited about his spirit form as he knew he already had a spirit pulse.
Today is the day of spirit awakening. The direct descendants of the clan will be having their awakening in separate chambers. While the descendants of the guards or the side branch family members will be having it in the main hall. The spirit awakening ceremony was kept secret as many other clan were spying for future potential threats many young genius were killed early.
Total 4 candidates were present today at the ceremony. John was also one of them. There was a girl with black hairs and black eyes other one was a blonde kid with golden eyes and lastly a blue hair kid with green eyes.
“Let us start” said the clan leader. He then started sending the energy and the elders also followed him. The first to awaken was the blonde guy named Jason. His spirit palace appeared behind him the space had day like environment and at the background of the space a holy tiger was shown. It had golden hairs and white strips with golden eyes. Then suddenly another palace appeared it had black square outline and nothing was present there. As soon as the palace appeared it disappeared as if swallowed by the spirit palace. The elders were pleased with the results.
The clan head commented on this, ”Holy tiger spirit form and no spirit pulse”. The result was quite good as spirit forms were not limited to growth as the spirit pulses were. Spirit pulses reach the limit with their grades. The first elder was satisfied to since he was his grandson.
Next to awaken were the blue hair kid and the black hair girl simultaneously. The girl had the same halo in both the palaces it was a metallic tiger but with only four claws. The boy had a different case altogether his spirit palace had blue sword as if made by water and pulse palace had a three eyed green fur Liger with a horn on head.
The elders were gobsmacked by watching this. Then suddenly the person who was watching this scene from outside suddenly exclaimed “both spirit form and spirit pulse are same 4-clawed heavenly Iron tiger. It is a grade 7 spirit pulse. Ancestors have blessed us!” he said that since it was a level lower than their ancestors true form but since both spirit form and spirit pulse were same at the peak of the cultivation she could fuse both and jump the grade of either spirit form or the spirit pulse. He was the rarely seen grand elder of the clan.
Then as he watched the blue haired boy astonishment flickered his eyes as he said “Water severing sword and grade six guardian Liger spirit pulse with wood attribute good, Very Good”. The second elder was pleased with the results too.
John was the last one who remained he was nervous too. But the elders were silently observing the situation as the larger the time takes the greater were results. Then suddenly his spirit palace appeared but there was nothing in the background then with another flicker the pulse palace appeared it had a green scaled Qilin with horn branching that had twelve points on it and at the middle of it flames were hovering the flames were extended from there to the tip of the tail.
The elders were first disappointed but after watching pulse palace they all breathed deeply. Then the grand elder said ” Spiritless form with spirit palace and a Top grade 7 spirit pulse I suppose, since the time to awaken was greater than Natasha and Drek. It is a mutation between twelve horned guardian deer and fire Qilin but with less qilin blood. Wood attribute is greater than fire as it seems.” The 3rd elder was also happy. He already knew that John didn’t had spirit form, but had an excellent spirit pulse.
Then the Clan head watching the spirit palace of John said with certainty “So he is His son after all”. All the present elders also understood it clearly but nobody spoke a single word about it since it was a taboo topic in the clan.
