Year 897 Ae 78,

In the Silver wing city of immortal practitioners something ancient is going to emerge on this day and a lucky person is going to get priceless treasures but nobody knows about that and life continues as normal.

A 8 year old boy wearing dirty rugged clothes ran through back alleys being chased by a man and when it almost seemed like he could get caught he jumps into the sewer, the man comes to an abrupt halt shots an angry glare at the hole leading to underground sewer, shaking his head he heads back the way he came.

Underground sewer system,

The boy was running in the long sewer tunnel leading towards his hideout, he had gotten a little greedy today, usually he could only take wasted or thrown away food but today he just got a little greedy as he desperately wanted to taste fresh food but was caught stealing beaten to a pulp and managed to escape from his aggressor at the first opening he saw, he was feeling complex emotions but mostly it was regret and despair.

So in his semi broken state he was running towards his hideout reflexively and hence he didn't notice the small hole in the tunnel he could usually jump over and so he fell into that hole leading further underground.

The fall had knocked him out and waste water had carried him over and by the time he woke up he was lying at side of an passage as waste water was flowing over lower half of his body and several shiny insects and bugs sitting on top of his head or buzzing around him.

A little annoyed he gets up and shakes them off, sighing he looks around but couldn't recognise this place, instead of tunnels it was passageway and broad one at that, he sighs again picks a side at ranfom and starts walking the passageway that was dimly lit by glowing bugs.

After sometime he comes across a strange sight several glowing insects gathered in a certain place and each passing second even more gathered there, so out of curiosity he walked over to it, after showing away the insects which were still buzzing around, he cleared the rubble s and was surprised to find a dark green palm box as he reached out to grab it drops of blood from his broken nail fell on it as it glowed red.

He was instantly showed and alarmed but was too curious to leave it alone so he reached out grabbing it and as he did a voice boomed in his head shocking him again and making him almost drop it.

"Fellow cultivator, I am.....no never mind, I got this box in an ancient ruin and I have verified it holds long lost cultivation method, but those wicked Holy sect somehow got wind of it and started hunting me down for it, I a lone cultivator had no chance but I refuse to give up to their tyranny, if they had asked politely I could have given them but they dare bully me because I am alone hence I will never yield this treasure to such people, but neither can my heath allow it to be destroyed, so I decided to leave it here where only the most unfortunate dwell, so if you have found this junior then it means heavens has blessed you and my only request is for you to try and learn it and one day pass it over, cough cough anyway enough ranting make sure to hide it well and learn as much as you can good luck junior"

His mouth was hung open muttering something in a low voice with tears streaming from his face not because of this find or the recorded message but due to the memory of his family, 4 years ago his father had personally bought him basic qi refinig and cultivation books which he was eager to learn in order to get praise from his father, he learned and successfully began refining his qi after 2 months and his happy life continued for 2 years during which he was spoiled rotten but then tragedy struck as his family was killed leaving only him that too was because he was out playing at that time and at the end life became miserable for him as he went from pampered brat to sewage rat.

The only reason he even survived this long was because he could cultivate, this was the reason he didn't catch any disease nor did he die of starvation.

He slowly came back to reality after dwelling in these memories for moments, shaking off any other feeling he looked at the box in his hand and as he opened it three black colored books can be seen, he closed the box deciding that this may not be the best place to learn it and so he tucked it away in his rugged robe holding it tightly he started running.

After some time he finally came upon a hole that led him to the surface, he climbed up and found himself back on the sewer tunnel, breathing out a relived sigh he once again started running towards his hideout.

It took him several hours to get back to his well hidden hideout which was actually a cave digged at the side of the broken tunnel wall which didn't look so broken due to the bricks he scavenged and placed to look like it hadn't been damaged.

After getting in the cave he was greeted by the bright light emanating from the jars which was filled with glowing insects, he immediately sat down on the dirty ragged cloth left on the floor and took out the box, only now did he notice none of the insect approached the box, he had no idea why but didn't really care to think about it, so taking out the books he examined the box for any other things upon finding none he threw it to a corner and took hold of the books that read Divine demon body refining and cultivation, Divine spirit nurturing, Divine sealing art.

Reading the words reminded him of the education his father had given, he shook his head refusing to drown in memories again, then he took up the cultivation manual and started reading.

6 months later,

The 8 year old boy was no longer thin and small, he was four and a half feet in height with decently developed muscles and toned body, this was mainly due to the divine demon body cultivation method, through this method the world qi wax purified and refined to a great degree and then compressed and circulated through ought the body and fed to each and every cell which in turn caused the body to be filled with impressive vitality and then second book which was about spirit nurturing, he had a rough time feeling out his own spirit and required two months for him to start practising, the results however where splendid, the method was so efficient that it purified the spirit to an extent that made the spirit fog in his spirit realm was semi transparent and due to the two cultivation method complementing each other he was able to absorb both qi and spirit at an astonishing level, so due to such pure spirit and qi his entire body was vibrant and filled with energy.

That wasn't the only thing that changed though, now he wore clean clothes which was obviously stolen but with that he looked like a normal kid, he came out and roamed the city mainly for two reason, one was to find materials for practising sealing art which he sadly couldn't find or more like it was in unreachable tightly guarded places, the other reason was since he decided to cultivate not only for survival but also for becoming strong and gaining back his life and after numerous such outings he finally learned the cultivation school and sects are recruiting cultivators every year, thus he prepared for this year.
