Raja Kint recently turned eight years old.
Since his brother’s breakthrough. He’s just continued learning as usual.
Raja Kint is also excited about an event starting soon.
Some young generation members from outside the sect are coming for a sparring session. They are also bringing along disciples that haven’t started cultivation yet either.
Therefore Raja Kint has been more focused on practicing martial arts lately.
On this day Raja Kint was currently practicing martial arts against one of the male helpers around the house.
The helper used no cultivation and looked to only help Raja Kint. Surprisingly, Raja Kint's hand combat was ferocious and dominating.
Causing the male helper to constantly be fully focused.
After spending another day training Raja Kint thanked the male helper as he washed up and slept to repeat the same day. Before he fell asleep he heard a knock at the door.
Raja Kint lazily said, “Come in.”
The head that popped through was his father, Enyo Kint.
Raja Kint immediately sat up straight as his father sat across from him.
Enyo Kint spoke, “Boy, tomorrow you will travel with your brother and me to see the World Patriarch.”
Raja Kint was shocked to hear this.
Who is the World Patriarch? He’s a man who fought his way through countless battles. Becoming a living legend across time and space. A man who could compete in a true battle of peak warriors. He earned the right to have “World” as his title.
Raja Kint felt his blood boiling. His heart pounded against his chest as he breathed heavier.
Enyo Kint continued, “You must remember your manners before the World Patriarch. This may be the only chance you have to meet him. So make the most of it as well.”
“Why am I also going? Fuhai is the one showing massive potential. Rumors are running rampant about how well he’s progressing. And there should be another in our clan with insane potential,” replied Raja Kint.
“I asked if you could come as well. The request was accepted. More than likely because of my position within the clan.”
The two sat in silence for a moment.
Enyo Kint got up and walked to the door. Just as he was about to close the door. He said, “Don’t have too much hope in the sparring session. It’s mainly for limbo realms under 16.”
The door gently closed. Raja Kint knew his father was right. It wouldn’t deter him from his hope for a match.
He laid down on his bed and closed his eyes. Quickly falling into slumber.
“EVERYONE RUN!”
Raja Kint awakened to the sound of screams ringing all around him. He rushed out of the room to see his father fighting three men in the sky.
“RAJA COME HERE!”
Raja Kint turned his head to see his mother and immediately ran over. His brother and sister were both by her side. When he was halfway over a crack in space appeared before him.
A power so mighty froze him entirely. Not even his blood could freely move. Then his entire reality fell apart like shattered glass.
“AHH!”
Raja Kint woke up covered in sweat. His chest heaved up and down erratically.
His door opened to a young female helper looking at him worriedly.
“Young master are you having another nightmare? Come with me, let’s get you a bath to soothe your mind and body.”
Raja Kint grabbed his head. “No thanks. Leave me be.”
The girl nodded her head and left.
Raja Kint furrowed his brows. He knew there had to be something to these dreams. He just didn’t understand what.
He had told his mother but she said that they were just nightmares.
Raja Kint sighed as he got up and went outside.
Elsewhere in the house. The young girl reached another door and knocked on it. A velvety voice sounded, “Come in.”
The girl entered to see Irini Kint and Enyo Kint.
“Morning master and mistress. The young master Raja Kint had another nightmare.”
Enyo Kint's eyebrows furrowed and Irini Kint sighed lightly.
Irini Kint waved the young girl away.
Irini Kint then said, “He seems to be in tune with the dao.”
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.
“How can a child be in tune with the dao? He hasn’t even stepped on the path of cultivation. This would be ridiculous.” Replied Enyo Kint.
Irini Kint replied, “Didn’t you say that there are some geniuses who can grasp the dao while still a mortal? Attaining the essence of the dao?”
“That’s true but that’s the rarest type of genius. And they seldom live long enough to realize their potential. Maybe in a previous epoch, they were the strongest. In our current epoch, only three have been recorded to exist and they completely upended the cultivation system. Not only have they died by others. They die to the hellish retribution of heaven.”
“Maybe he’s that type of genius. You're going to the World Patriarch anyway. Just mention it to him.”
Enyo Kint nodded his head as he prepared himself for the day.
Currently, Raja Kint is reading through books on the great exploits of cultivators.
A voice sounded from beyond his door. “Brother we’re getting ready to leave come out.”
Raja Kint replied, “OK” as he finished the page. Stood up and walked outside to see his father and brother.
Raja Kint didn’t leave the house too often. Being entrenched in learning all the time occupied his time more than anything else.
On their journey to the World Patriarch, the father had opted to walk over.
During the walk, many people greeted Enyo Kint out of respect. And some younger kids greeted Fuhai Kint along the way. Nobody even spared a glance at Raja Kint.
Raja Kint wasn’t annoyed in the slightest. As someone who isn’t even of age to cultivate. And openly proclaimed that he isn’t interested in cultivating. It’s only natural to be ignored.
After a short walk, they finally reached the World Patriarch's palace.
Raja Kint couldn’t help but whistle at the sight.
Enyo Kint spoke with two guards who led the way.
Journeying through the palace amazed the two brothers. The two escorts happily explained the interior decoration to the boys.
Soon they reached two large doors. Each escort grabbed one door handle and pulled the doors.
The two boys walked into the room.
After a few paces, the two boys fell into a trance.
Raja Kint is surrounded by stars shooting past him. Some stars radiated coldness and others hotness. He witnessed how stars were created. And how stars were destroyed, forming explosions strong enough to start black holes. Some stars were composed of natural elements. Two stars seemed to be magnetized. Worlds were forming with life. A myriad of species Raja Kint had never seen before was before his eyes.
Even amidst all of this, Raja Kint felt that there was still something his five senses were not sensing.
In the real world. Enyo Kint is standing next to the World Patriarch.
Enyo Kint says, “Raja has been having nightmares recently. The wife believes he’s attuned to the dao.”
World Patriarch replies, “What do you think?”
“I may have decent luck but to have two unparalleled sons is insane.”
“You should prepare a plan for him as well.” Replied the World Patriarch.
When Enyo Kint heard that sentence his pupils slightly dilated.
After some time a light wave of dao emerged from Ruhai Kint. He opened his eyes as a flash of light appeared. Slight ripples in the space around him appeared. He looked at the World Patriarch and cupped his hands to greet him.
When he tried to speak he couldn’t open his mouth. Then he noticed his little brother was still in a trance. Therefore he sat down to cultivate.
With two men standing and two boys. The room seemed to be at a standstill. One day went by, then two days, then three days. Finally, Raja Kint's eyelids twitched. When he opened his eyes he felt somewhat different but wasn’t sure what it was.
Enyo Kint was shocked. Fuhai Kint had been in a trance for one day but Raja Kint was in a trance for four days! This meant his comprehension abilities were far more incredible than originally assumed.
The World Patriarch spoke, “What did you two learn?”
Fuhai Kint spoke first, “I learned that laws are restricted by their environment. The larger the environment, the stronger the laws. In turn, causing better comprehension in general. On the flip side, the smaller the environment, the more utility will be extracted from the laws. Since cultivators won’t be comprehending new laws as fast.”
Fuhai Kint stopped for a moment then continued.
“I realized that my space law is more versatile than I realize. I’ve mainly been using it for attacks. But I've been seeing space from one side. Instead of punching through space like I’ve been doing. I should be manipulating space in terms of distance, destruction, and speed. I’ve also comprehended a new force law.”
Both Enyo Kint and the World Patriarch were shocked at how much was learned. Just those insights alone would carry him far. Much less comprehending two laws at only ten years old.
Everyone turned their attention to Raja Kint.
Raja Kint says “I experienced the way of the star and feel that I’m close to comprehending something amazing.”
With that, he shut his mouth and looked at the two men.
Enyo Kint furrowed brows as he fell into deep thought. The World Patriarch looked at Raja Kint with puzzlement. Then he muttered, “I see.”
Enyo Kint looked at the slight smile on the World Patriarch.
“I Look forward to the future of you two boys.”
Raja Kint was about to reply when suddenly his senses were distorted. In a single moment, he was back outside with his brother. Not seeing their father they decided to wait.
Ruhai Kint confusingly said, “I’ve already forgotten the World Patriarch's face?”
Raja Kint replied, “Same.”
Inside the earlier room. Enyo Kint asked the World Patriarch. “What did you mean earlier?”
The World Patriarch smiled as his face was remembered by Enyo Kint.
He is a middle-aged man with black hair and black eyes. With a serene temperament, one would never guess he was a powerful Daoist.
The World Patriarch replied “You have really good kids. You have to give them both a future to grow. Haha! You may be my lucky star.”
“So my wife is right in her thought. He’s already attuned to the dao. In the future, it’s guaranteed that he’ll walk that path. Did you gain any new insights into the heaven-defying cultivation?”
“I have gained new insights and implemented them. This should be about as far as I can go with my deductions.” The World Patriarch produced two scrolls and handed them to Enyo Kint.
“One for each, these should be the final preparations. I can sense the time isn’t too far.” The World Patriarch sighed sadly.
Enyo Kint said, “Ayumu Kint, many may fall. But the clan has made as many backups as possible. No matter the danger as long as we live the name of Kint will one day climb back up. I would like to see the faces of these cultivators. Once our vengeance is dealt with in return.”
Ayumu Kint replied, “The future is all we have. Taking a step back now is our path to prosperity. Hopefully, it all works out in the end.”
