Chansu and Azusa left the school and headed to "Blue Thorn" the village of the Aotoge Clan. They were going to get some things of his and other business of Azusa had to attend to. When they get back everyone had gathered around the entrance awaiting and began and cheer rejoice. His father stepped forward, and Chansu bowed. "Honored patriarch, i have learned my spirit and been accepted to a school. His father looked Azusa in the eye and noticed his pupils astonished yet weary. "Stand my son, for today you no longer bow to me...But it is i who bows to you." And his father did just that, as did the rest of the clan. "Wha-What's the meaning of this." An old man walked forward. Chansu bowed yet again. "Venerable Grand elder, I understand not why I am being bowed to." "You are the one our clan has been waiting for. It was suspected for a while but the arrival of this man beside you has confirmed it. The spirit of our Clan's great ancestor has blessed you. You are already at the 5th Luhan Layer are you not?" "Yes he is, he displayed that back at the school." "Follow me." Azusa, Chansu, and Raiki followed the grand elder into the grandhall. Behind the throne was the door, which only the patriarch is allowed to enter through upon reaching the 10th Luhan Layer. "Oh Grand elder i cant pass through this-..." "Shhh." The grand elder put his hand on the door and focused his Qi. The door opened. Inside was a hall. They walked down the hall until they reached a Jade Green room. Filled with books. "this is the room Where the 25th Patriarch, reached the 5th Zhang Realm. It was only after he married Ayumi Wanijima a fellow 10th Luhan Layer. Together they Sat back to back, naked and remained in this room and Cultivated for 5 years unaware that they were using the Sacred Paired Cultivation method." "I've heard that by Pairing your cultivation with a woman, you could reach three years worth of cultivation in a matter of months." "A man and Woman of the 3rd Luhan layer could reach the 5th Luhan Layer in a matter of six months." "Upon reaching the 5th Zhang Realm, The spirit of The first Wannijima Patriarch was said to have appeared to them. He told them that one day a boy who will inherit the power of both clans will emerge from our clan. But he must master the power of the Great Leviathan lest it devours him. That boy is you Chansu. The Leviathan manifested itself and protected you from Azusa." "Wait how do you know that?" "I was the one who sent him specifically to see if it was you. My suspicions were correct. You have inherited the power of both the Aotoge and Wanijima. And with the realization of this we bestow upon you this." Raiki took off his "Yuan Ring" Signifying his place as Patriarch of the Aotoge clan and handed it to Chansu. "You are now the patriarch of The Aotoge, you will lead us and the rest of Japan alongside Koryu in the great." Chansu bowed. "Though there are plenty who are more qualified like Cousin Hei, or cousin Tsuki, I am the one chosen for this. I am most honored." He took the ring and put it on and as he did it started glowing fiercely, as did the ground under them. "We must get out." The grand said to Azusa and Raiki. "This is his Time." They quickly got out as the door shut in front of them. "The ring, this Hall of Ancient Elders recognizes me as the one true Patriarch of the Aotoge. I can feel the power surging through me. I must cultivate and let my body adjust." He sat down cross-legged and Meditated.
