In a secluded area of Earth, there are five towering mountain, anyone who sees this mountains will be given an expression of ‘unreachable’ and ‘majestic’. But if anyone will look from aerial view, these mountains are positioned in a pentagon shape, each mountain is placed on five corners of pentagon.
Lush forest are surrounding these mountains that exudes a rich vitality, perfect wilderness for animals looking for shelter, but that doesn’t matter right now because….
Massive whirling dark clouds are gathered on the center of mountains, it keeps whirling like it is gathering it’s momentum to blow the pavilion below. A scarlet pavilion thousand of meters in height is built on the center of the five mountains, it is constructed using unknown wood but it produces a fiery and wild pressure that can make a weak willed human faint.
Contrary to the scene in the scarlet pavilion, the surrounding houses, temples and pavilions are decorated in lanterns, people are celebrating and there’s even people kowtowing or bowing their head to the scarlet pavilion.
...
Inside the scarlet pavilion, 7 people are anxiously waiting in front of a closed sliding door, one of them is a handsome middle aged man with a sword-like eyebrowsthatwears a phoenix embroiled black robe and walking back and fort, five of them are neatly standing in line2 meters away from the door and all of them is wearing red armor outside their robe. The last person is a frowning old man wearing a simple gray robe and this person is clearly irritated in the actions of the person who is wearing phoenix embroiled black robe.
“Oi, you idiot son of mine! Stop walking or this old man will beat the shit out of you!”
The old man can’t contain his emotions and shouted at the middle aged man.
The middle aged man froze and behaved properly in front of the door, distress is painted on his faceas he can’t help to open and close his palm to release his emotion.
“Father, you said that in every storm, there is life. Doesn’t that mean that there is also death? I think the storm you’ve told me is like a war, there’s life and also death. Sacrifice is needed for flowers to bloom, blood will serve as a water for them to grow. This war, I’m afraid that Mei’er will become the blood for the flower that will grow. Mei’er is too weak to bear a child, and now she’s behind that door and giving birth to my child. What if she can’t handle the strain to her body?”
Feng Xitian sighed and spoke again
“I’ve fearlessly crushed and killed my enemies, building a mountain of corpse behind me, river of blood has been spilled in my path. I’ve faced all of that without fear, yet I am here anxiously waiting if my wife will survive this war. ”

Feng Xitian suddenly changed his bearing, the anxiousness and distress is gone and changed to love, sadness and pity.
The five generals behind the old man and Feng Xitian bowed their heads, they knew how much their current Sect Master love his wife, he will massacre the enemy and create a bloody path if needed if his wife is harmed.
The old man looked to his son, he can understand what his son is feeling right now. His son is ruthless, no woman can tame his heart in the past, he would kill whoever touch him without his permission. Arrogant young master as they’re saying, his son’s temper is low and it’s common for him to blast whoever pissed him. But fate changed him when he met his wife, who knew that opposite really do attracts? His wife is the embodiment of kindness, not the type of woman that can make emperor bow because of her beauty nor the type of beauty that can cause a downfall of a dynasty. She’s just a simple only child of a farmer’s couple, lived in poverty but her life changed when she rescued the injured Feng Xitian, who knew that this war lord will become her husband?
The old man spoke to his son
“War cannot be avoided, and it is not a fight that there will be no sacrifice. War is a man made fight, human’s thinking is a layer of layer of complexity and that what makes war hard. But storm is a repetitive event, even if it’s intensity changed, it’s still a storm and will forever be a storm. Mighty storm or weak storm is still a storm. This storm that will face us, it is not the storm that will ravage us, it is us that will ravage the storm and anything in our path!”
When the old man finished his speak, Feng Xitian and the five generals looked to the old man with their blood boiling. That’s right! Miracle is both born in storm and war, this storm is nothing compared to their hardships!
“Uwaaaaa!”
“Uuuhhhh!”
When Feng Xitian heard this, he immediately rushed inside the room and there he saw 4 people. His wife Feng Mei lying in the bed, kneeling beside her is an old woman wiping the sweat on her forehead. The other 2 woman are the one helping Feng Mei to give birth, they’re the Royal Servant of this sect.
Feng Xitian walked towards the servant and gently took the baby on her hands, this is his son! Their son!
“Congratulations your highness Sect Master! Madam Feng gave birth to a healthy young lord!”
“Congratulations Sect Master! I am honored to see the birth of the future Sect Master, I can sense that he will do great things in the future!”
The two servants bowed and gave their praises to the newly birth child and to the Sect Master.
Feng Xitian can’t express what he’s feeling at this moment, he placed his son to his wife’s bosom and spoke to her..
“Mei’er, look at him. This is our son, he will become the next pillar of this sect. He is destined to become a great person.”
Feng Mei stared and caressed his son’s face. What a lovely child is he! It’s a combination of Feng Mei’s gentle innocent features and Feng Xitian’s dominant looking face, then Feng Mei looked to his husband and said..
“Have you decided what you will name him?”
“Since our son is born under the pressure of a storm, his birth is already declared that he will stand outstandingly on his path. He will be called Feng Shenji! For he is a miracle bloomed through this storm!”
After Feng Xitian declared his son’s name. A change is happening outside the scarlet pavilion, the swirling dark clouds are changing into dark red clouds until the center of the clouds are completely red, blazing pillar of fire is slowly taking shape slowly extending towards the scarlet pavilion.
“Look in the sky! A pillar of fire has emerged and it looks like that it is going down to the Parasol Pavilion!”
A youth has exclaimed when he saw this, he is pointing to the sky when he said this.
The celebrating crowd stopped what they’re doing and looked up in the sky to see what’s happening.
The extending pillar of fire stopped approaching the pavilion and formed a circular fire on top of it, the fire soon changed its form and as if it was alive, it wriggled then took a shape of a beating heart.
A continuous ‘badump’ sound was heard coming from the heart, resonating and joining the beating hearts of the spectators. Soon, the heart of fire retracted until it’s just as small as a fist of a baby, contrary to the expectations of the crowd, the heat didn’t decrease a bit but instead it increased ten-fold.
