Huno laid on the ground. His breathing heavy and painful, his right eye lifeless and at the moment he had only one wish; death should take him. “He stopped screaming,” Hidi yelled ten minutes later. Huno mouth was open but not a single sound leaked out. His right eye closed and tears ran out from it. It wasn’t tears, rather blood. “He passed out!” … “I’m alive!” Huno manage to say. “Sir?” “Glad to see you are alive,” Huno looked around and found Hidi and the chief. He closed his eyes and slept off. … “Finally conscious,” Cleo voice sounded. “How long was I asleep?” “I don’t know, I too was asleep,” Huno sat up and stretched. “Is it just me, this place seems to have grown again,” “It’s not only that. I am completely healed. I don’t need to sleep,” Cleo replied. “Oh, that’s good. Does this mean whatever you did healed us?” “I didn’t do anything I only translated what the chief said,” “Well, we aren’t doing that again,” “I would say the g
It didn’t take long for the two to overtake her. She reduced her size and held on to Hidi as they two continued. “Kirin, just a little longer,” “A Phoenix isn’t known to be like you. Tell me why do you struggle so much? I would understand if this was related to the all father’s purpose but it doesn’t. Why struggle so much? When you can enter serenity and return to the blossom of the all father? You will be reborn in a new era,” “Currently I see things from the perspective of a mortal being. You see it from that of an immortal who can be reborn,” “So because of that you cling on to life and consider it an extremely valuable thing that you can’t let go. When in actual sense life is worthless. We are born with hate for beings we have never met and when we meet them we fight to the death and maybe die only to be reborn eons later,” “If you didn’t know you were going to be reborn after death what will you do?” The voice didn’t reply her question. “Well, I just found out th
“Oh, so the healing over the island helped many of you breakthrough,” Huno said after he swallowed. “It turns out this is good. Don’t judge a book by its cover. More please.” He handed the bowl over to the little girl who stood behind him. She smiled and hurried away. “Why is she so excited?” Huno asked. “Light god, she is one of the few that had never given up on leaving this place. When she and her friend found you, she believed you’ll be the one to bring us out,” “I see, but I won’t be bringing you guys out any time soon. I wish to stay here and cultivate to a higher realm,” “We are but your humble followers. We have no place to go against your decisions,” “Good,” “Sir, here you go,” Hidi said. He turned and found her holding a sword and a shield. “I made four platinum grade artifacts,” “Oh, it seems you made use of the past year,” “Madam has been very helpful. She taught our people many things. And she’s also part of the reason we could advance fast,” “Oh,
~Eleven Months Later~ ~Boom~ “What’s going on?” Huno asked as soon as he shot out of his hut. “Madam made it to a higher realm,” the chief replied. “So quick? It’s be barely seven years,” “Well three months ago she went into seclusion saying she had gotten enlightenment,” the chief said. “That was after she made something she called the king grade artifact,” “Oh…” “I apologize for disturbing your cultivation,” Hidi’s voice sounded interrupting him. “You don’t have to apologize. I’m happy. Prepare the next set of people, I’m about to breakthrough too,” Huno said. “Understood,” the chief replied and flew away. “Sir, these are for you,” Hidi said and handed him two artifacts. “You gave me two platinum grade artifact not long ago. You keep them,” “I can’t do that sir. You need them more than me,” “What happens if I don’t take them?” Huno asked. “Uh, nothing,” “And if told you to destroy them?” Hidi frowned while looking at him. “I… I can only obe
Huno sat found a place to sit down. He urged his energy and one after another his nine stars appeared around him. Their size increased and showed no sign of stopping. “What’s wrong?” Cleo asked after thirty minutes. “I don’t know,” Huno replied. It doesn’t usually take long for him to break through but this time it was different. He opened his eyes and exhaled. “Huh?” he frowned staring at the nine gigantic stars hovering above him. “Huno, don’t you think we should postpone your breakthrough?” “Can you feel that?” Huno asked. “Yeah it feels like Cosmo is filled up,” “Yeah but it can still contain one more, so why?” One of the stars started rotating vertically. One after the other the rest followed. The sky roared and it seemed to be happy. The dark clouds cleared as the roaring continued. “This?” Huno gasped. From all directions nature essence flowed towards him. It wasn’t only nature essence, Qi (True Qi and Legend Qi) energy, monster Qi and an energy that Hun
“I don’t know I just noticed it,” Cleo replied. The three worlds which had completely formed were merging together. The fourth one which was still forming had moved closer to the three but didn’t merge with them. “I don’t feel any harm, so it’s a good thing,” Huno said and turned to the sun. After fusing with Kiri’s core, it was bigger and brighter than before. “When’s Kiri waking up?” he asked. “To be honest, I don’t know. I’m a little worried,” Cleo replied. “I hope things go well,” Huno said and disappeared. ~Two Month Later~ Huno opened his eyes. ~I would like to ask everyone to step out of the encirclement~ ~What’s wrong?~ the eagle asked. ~Senior, this phenomenon concerns my cultivation. With everyone cultivating here my cultivation is regressing. I would drop in realm if it goes on~ ~Oh, if that’s the case, then…~ ~Because an ant orders it, you want to obey ~ the snake snickered. ~Why are some of you just dumb?~ the raccoon muttered. It slowly go
“How long will it take you to make a king grade flight artifact?” Huno asked. “It all depends on the type you want me to make,” Hidi replied. “With all the resources and man power on the island, I could make a very good one. I’ll suggest that,” Huno placed his finger on her forehead. ~Every beast is under your use. Any who disobeys will face me~ ~I’ll get straight to work~ Hidi said and turned to the beast kings. ~Let’s go~ ~You stay~ Huno said to the tortoise. ~How many peak Qian are there?~ ~Peak Qian are about thirty to forty~ ~High rank?~ ~High rank count over hundred. Close to two hundred~ ~Scrutinize the high rank and pick out the top fifty likely to break through to the peak Qian soon~ ~Understood~ “Hidi, I need an artifact capable of carrying over a hundred of these beasts,” Huno said to Hidi, who was arranging the beast kings in pairs. “Yes sir,” … Time slowly passed, and in a flash it was almost five months. Huno had gone round the island
“There you are old emperor,” a voice rang. “Tai Gong!” the old man roared. “Are you finally tired of running?” “This palace will be our burial place,” the old man replied. “As long as I take you down with me, my life is a small price to pay. For all the families you took and made suffer. I would kill you and bring justice,” The ground crumbled as the old man shot into the sky. He clashed with someone and immediately an explosion lit the dark sky. … (Some Years After) ~In A Dark Room~ “Lord Da San, there’s been report of a spaceship flying into space,” There was no reply. Only cold silence greeted the speaker. “Lord Da San…” “What is the use of a spaceship going into space? Do you want me to behead you?” “No my lord,” “How is the hunt for platinum grade artifact refiners?” “Going well sir. We currently have six of them,” “Very well. You may leave… Wait. Find out where that spaceship took off from. My intuition is tingling. Make this your top pr
