2024-10-29 19:42:56___There is always a higher mountain, but no matter how tall the mountain is, it cannot block the sun_____
This phrase was true even for Bao, when he was still in the immortal world, people knew him for being the strongest in the whole immortal world. But Bao clearly understood, he was nowhere near the pinnacle and the immortal realm was only another short step towards that false peak. He didn't know where the path will lead to or when it will end, but he surely knew the path ahead of him would be a thorny one.
"old man, now it's time for you to answer my questions"
"HOW DID YOU LEARN THESE ARRAY TECHNIQUES? AND ON WHOSE COMMAND YOU PLACED IT UNDER HOSPITAL?" Bao questioned while performing puppet command on the old man
"I..was taught array method by master…., it was on master's direction, I placed the array under the hospital" old man answered
"WHO IS THAT MASTER? WHERE CAN I MEET HIM?"
"master is the one who adopted us and trained us…., I don't know where the master is…." Old man said
"ARE YOU SAYING THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLES LIKE YOU WHO KNOWS ARRAY TECHNIQUE?"
"yes…, there are many others…, scattered all throughout the world…" the old man responded
elderly man's master was likely from an obscure organization, where they would recruit homeless Childs and train them into fighters. Although this sort of organization was usual in the immortal world, where they would be trained into perfect assassins, yet here in this isolated world, it seemed fishy.
"THEN YOU MUST HAVE A WAY TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR MASTER?"
"yeah.., I do have a method to contact with master, using communication array" the old man answered
"THEN FORM THAT ARRAY HERE CONNECTING TO YOUR MASTER" Bao ordered
Then that old many did as Bao commanded him, he formed a communication array on the ground which could link with his master. Before activating the communication array, Bao lifts the puppet command from that old man.
"What did you do to me? Why is there array on the ground?" the old guy said while being confused
"old man do as I say, activate this array, and ask your master where is he currently?"
"why would I do as you say?"
After the old man said so, Bao called the old man's disciple in front of him and pointed a finger toward that disciple, with a little gesture one hand of that disciple was severed from the body. He didn't showed any pity towards someone who tried to go against him or harm people around him, without a change in his expression he severed someone's hand.
Thud* hand landed on the ground
"AARGHHHHHH"
"MASTER SAVE ME," the old man's disciple cried while groaning in pain
Blood was gushing out without a pause. Bao also lifted the puppet command of that disciple for a little moment, to allow the old man hear his disciple's cry, then that disciple again maintained silent.
"old man, do as I say or next time it will be his head," Bao warned the old man
A mortal master's biggest breaking point would be their own inability to safeguard their disciple in front of them. Unlike in the immortal world where talents might be found everywhere and can be replaced. Bao was attempting to shatter that old man's confidence and his spirit. After being threatened old man activated the communication array.
"master it's your disciple," the old man said
"OH IT'S YOU, DID YOU COMPLETE THE TASK I GAVE YOU?" a harsh voice sounded from the array
"yes, it's complete, I have collected all the spirits, master where are you right now?" the old man asked
"I AM WHERE I SHOULD BE, WHY DO YOU CARE?" a gruff voice asked
"I was only interested as to when we shall meet again" the old man said
"WE WILL MEET SOON WHEN THE KELLARI DESERT ARENA OPENS," that harsh voice said
"master what is kellari desert arena?" the old man inquired
"DON'T ASK, YOU WILL KNOW WHEN THE TIME COMES" that gruff voice responded
"thank you master for your time, I will cut off the communication array now," the old guy replied and deactivated the array
"there, I did what you asked for, now let my disciple go," the old man responded
"WHERE ARE THE SPIRITS YOU GATHERED? GIVE IT TO ME" Bao commanded the old man
Then the old guy brought out a sparkling stone from a box, unlike porcelain this stone didn't let any spirits flow outside. This stone was likewise a spirit storing tool, but it had a far bigger holding capacity.
It was time Bao leave this location, both teacher and disciple may have been killed for the transgression they committed. But Bao didn't do so, he glanced at that disciple and tapped in his forehead once, a great quantity of energy entered his inner body shredding every part of that disciple's muscles, and he slowly died. That disciple looked like someone who was caught in an explosion.
After that, Bao departed that spot, the old man fell unconscious after Bao killed his disciple. Bao wandered for a bit until a cab came and he went back to the city.
Later that old man regained his consciousness, then he rose up and noticed his cottage was blown and his disciple was dead in front of him.
"my student, forgive your master for this, it's my fault you died"
"My array got malfunctioned and targeted you, All my research also got blown away," that old guy sobbed in sadness
Then he glanced at the box where he stored the spirit stone, but that box was also destroyed.
"Now what do I do? I did say my master spirit was gathered totally, since it's ruined, I will again gather, I still have some time" the elderly guy murmured to himself
Before leaving this spot, Bao also wiped that old man's memory of him coming here and killing his disciple. He altered the cause of his disciple's death into an array malfunction in the old man's memory. Due to old man being weaker and with a weak mental barrier, Bao was able to influence his memories effortlessly. This was also Bao's first kill on this isolated world. The old man was the key to meeting that unknown master, so he left him alive for now.

As a result, they were not recognized as true dragons and were positioned as a guardian on the North Seaside. The true dragons dwelt beneath the ocean, which served as the dragon race's main foundation, and the ocean was protected from all sides. Bao's Family defended the far north edge of the ocean, which was also the closest to human territory. Although dragons are supposed to be the most powerful race, they do have taboos.

___At the center of the room was a giant stone lab, on top of that stone slab was a silver-haired sleeping beauty___ Bao moved closer to the stone slab; he had sensed the jade pendant and Yue's presence before entering this room. "Was she already in this state when she came here?" Bao asked the princess "No, she was fine, she just passed out near the transmission gate, changes occurred after she entered this hallowed area." The princes replied [How could I be so careless, I should've noticed that the jade pendant didn't lose its energy but was absorbed by Yue] The change in her body was most likely caused by the absorption of a large amount of spirit energy when she entered this area, which caused her hair to turn silver white and some minor changes in her inner body. Bao sensed Yue's inner world, and there he saw things he had never seen before: all the absorbed energy was gathering at the center, where a vortex was formed and a core was forming on its own without anyone's inter

Bao was alone in the room after the princess and her disciple had left, staring at Yue's sleeping face. "Fate cutting," Bao cautiously lifted his three fingers. Although he couldn't entirely sever her fate with his current strength, he could at least momentarily delay it. If she took the path of immortality, she would truly become someone respected as supreme. But Bao didn't want to see her hand stained with blood. The path to supremacy is a treacherous and long one. With the passage of time and the loss of family and friends, one's feelings will fade. Everything must be abandoned, including family, friends, and feelings. These things will just develop a heart demon and obstruct their progress. Bao didn't want Yue to go through all of that, therefore he intended to save her from such a terrible fate. He wanted her to die naturally rather than endure a long life of suffering. Time passes slowly. In the end, he didn't change her fate; he simply couldn't harm her in any way. He sat ne

While they were conversing, Bao asked a question that caught Princess Kaguya's attention. "If you existed from long ago, you must have heard of the Aztec organization." Bao asked "I'm aware of them, but are you a member of the Aztec organization?" The princess asked back "No, I don't belong to any organization." "As one would anticipate from someone like you, you will not tolerate another boss," the princess added. The princess was not a mortal or a ghost; she was a unique entity capable of sensing and seeing one's true nature. As a result, she concluded that Bao was someone revered; it wasn't his arrogance or pride. It was Bao's very existence that warranted the utmost respect, that was evident in him. "Have you met the founder of the Aztec organization?" Bao asked "Yes, I've met him before." "What kind of group is the Aztec?"

It was late summer and extremely hot outside. A patient lay in bed, unconscious, in a white room. To keep the patient's interior body safe, the temperature within the room was kept cool and maintained. For three months, he had been in a coma. He was in the intensive care unit. The doctors were unable to determine the cause of his coma and therefore gave up hope of him recovering, but someone was still visiting and caring for him, someone he knew well. It was a Saturday, and there were few people about. Only the emergency room was available, and the majority of the doctors were absent. They were enjoying a day off. Only a few staff members and doctors from the emergency room were present. He regained consciousness abruptly, but he was unable to move or talk. His entire body felt shaky.

Chapter 14- Puppetry
Bao was calmly meditating under the Bo tree behind the mansion the next morning. The last ceremonial rite took place about three years ago. Yue informed Bao last night that the ceremonial person should arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. He was curious as to how the ceremonial person acquired the array technique and the porcelain capable of storing spirits. While meditating, he received a call from Yue informing him that the ceremonial person had come. Yue's parents had already prepared the essential supplies for the ceremonial procedure a few days before. Then Bao went to the hospital as well. He was eager to see the individual who had come to create an array beneath the hospital. He went to Yue's office after arriving at the hospital. Yue, her parents, and the ceremonial individual were all present. In comparison to what Yue described to Bao, he appeared to be quite youthful. He appeared to be the same age as Bao. He was dressed in a Taoist robe and headgear. He had a Taoist
