Marshall wave province, layson region, lutong town

A fair boy of 13 or 14 years wearing fur clothes with wavy or coiling silver hair, black lips, white teeth which gives of a unique feeling could be seen eating in a well furnished dining room

"Mom, I'm almost done eating, and I will soon be leaving so I can meet up with Dad for training,"said Yun wei while munching on his food. "Okay honey, when you're done with your meal, clean your plates up and hurry up and go meet your dad for training." The voice of a middle-aged woman could be heard from the living room.

"ok mum," replied Yun wei .

As soon as he was done eating, he got up, cleaned up his plate, put on another new set of clothes, training clothes in particular, and then left the house.

Luton Town is a small and unremarkable village in the layson region under martial wave province. Layson clan can be considered the local power in the area in which storms and clouds can be raised with the wave of a hand due to the family power.

This is a clan in which martial cultivation , individual prowess, and power are respected

Layson clan governs numerous other small towns like lutong town, though lutong town is said to be a small town, it actually covers a wide area of circumference . At noon, a boy could be seen dashing through the neighbour at a fast pace, displaying his agility and speed faster than an average man clearly depicting his prowess as a martial cultivator.

Yun wei could be deemed and considered as a martial art prodigy, as the talent being exhibited by the boy is enough to put several main clan geniuses at shame

As he approaches his destination ,from a distance, bushes and trees could be seen, and the sound of activities could be made out from afar.

"Father should already be there as usual," murmured Yun wei as he approached .

From a distance a middle aged man of about 30 years could be seen crossing his legs and taking a sit on the floor breathing in and breathing out in a concise and precise manner in which energy in the atmosphere seems to follow its rhythm and enter through the 12 meridians in the body forming a system.

Yun wei see these from afar and approaches quietly, not disturbing his father.

As if sensing something, the middle-aged man stood up and blew in air in and out, which rushes like a cannon and destroys a nearby boulder.

"This is the power of an energy formation stage expert so powerful," said Yun wei with eyes shining like stars

"Father is as powerful as always when will I be that powerful "said Yun wei as he approaches.The middle aged man looked inthe direction of his son with a smile which later changes to a stern expression, seeing this face Yun wei knows it is already time for training.

"Come and take a sit son " replied the middle-aged man as he stood . Yun wei did as instructed and sat

Then the middle-aged man said, "Which stage of meridian opening are you in now?"

"Am in the 4th stage of meridian opening," Yun wei answered

"U broke through the bottle neck," said Yun wei's dad with a surprised expression.

"Yes, father and i even located the fifth meridian," replied Yun wei.

Meridian opening stage is the first cultivation realm and the starting point as a cultivator

Meridian opening realm has 12 stages in total, which can be divided into four phases. The beginning phase ,early phase,late phase, and perfect phase with 3 stages in each phase.

Meridian opening stage can also be said to be a foundation stage as it as it involves the opening of meridians, with each meridian opened it leads to an increase in power, speed, and agility.

Opening a meridian involves locating the position of the meridian in the body and absorbing energy from the atmosphere to forcibly open that meridian, all these takes time to happen as both locating and forcibly opening a meridian depends on the aptitude of the cultivator

Breaking the bottle neck to move from one phase to another is even harder than normal

That's why it came as a surprise that Yun wei was able to break to the early phase even though he started cultivation a month ago.

After the meridian opening, one can proceed to the energy formation stage

In this stage, one can be referred to as a cultivator or energy cultivator in which one absorbs energy from the surroundings for one use and for further increase in cultivation

"That's also good, with talent like these you might be able to partake in the clan's gathering atleast you can use the opportunity to gather expreience and exposure to the cultivation world" A rare word of praise could be heard from his ever so strict father as well as an undisguised smile plastered all over his face.

"Is the clan hunt that special," Yun wei murmured, clearly being surprised that he might participate and clearly not particular showing interest in the upcoming clan activity .

Because in the yun clan, mostly youths of 14 - 16 years participates in that activity In which the teenagers are first allowed to go into the lutong forest and which a certain number of beasts is to be hunted to meet the criteria to participate in the martial gathering which is the second and final part of the clan upcoming gathering

Lutong forest is a forest that has been in existence for a long time, and it is rumoured that beasts with high cultivation realms could be seen in the depths of the forest.

After the clan hunt then the second gathering takes place in which spars are being conducted to determine the strongest expert in the younger generation and to determine how cultivation resources are to be shared in the family

"That's not your concern as of now just do your best and focus on training, now go through the basis and perform the sets of breathing technique I thought you and start absorbing the surrounding energy to attack your fifth meridian".

Yun wei did as instructed and went into a cultivation state to try and forcibly open up the next meridian at the fastest speed. "Most people his age hasn't even entered meridian opening stage with most of them still lingering about the border still looking for the first meridian or the faster ones still trying to break through it with this speed he really might be able to reach the 7th stage before the clan's hunt".

After about a while the sun started to set ,then Yun wei stood up and patted his pants of dust, stretching a little bit and suddenly took to the air reaching an height of a meter in one full swoop did a flip in the air and lands firmly on the ground.

"Father, I am done. Let's go home ,mother should already be waiting for us .

"OK, let's go." Across the road as the pair of father and son could be seen moving back to their home

"How powerful are energy formation expert dad," Yun wei asked

"Energy formation experts are different from meridian opening stage experts because while meridian opening experts can absorb energy from the surroundings they can not use it except to tackle the meridians in the body while energy formation stage expert can absorb the energy in the body and use it to perform low grade martial arts technique and it makes the body stronger and faster " replied Yun wei's dad

"Father, what cultivation realm is after energy formation stage and are there gods in the cultivation world.
