Taeyang - What the hell?He yelled in confusion. ‘What is this?’ he thought. Everyone around had their eyes wide open. Some had the look of confusion while others had a look of fear on their faces. Old Shen - Haha, after so long something interesting finally happened. Unlike everyone else, old Shen laughed his heart out. His lips curved to his ears, and his eyes twinkled like bright stars. Without a doubt everyone could see how extremely happy he looked.Old Shen - You all should leave. Someone get Bian Hong out of the tree. ??? - Yes sir. The group chorused and got to their feet. They bowed at old Shen before they headed toward the gate. A few of them walked up to Bian Hong. Old Shen walked up Taeyang; the smile still evident on his face.Old Shen - Interesting! He examined Taeyang’s hands and exclaimed. Taeyang could only wonder what exactly made him so happy. Yinyue walked over to them reluctantly, and Taeyang could see the fear on her face. Old Shen - Come with me.Old Shen
Old Shen - Huh? What’s going on? Old Shen halted when he found the serpent on Taeyang’s body moving. Taeyang’s breathing had relaxed; he no longer gasped for air. Old Shen - Interesting, it seems I don’t have to do anything. Taeyang lay quiet and at eased. The pain had subsided, his blood no longer boiled, and both his vision and hearing returned back. He never wants to experience again. Old Shen - Are you alright? Taeyang - Yeah, I am. He took a deep breath and exhaled. The pain had reduced, nonetheless it hurt bad. He struggled to a seated position, and faced old Shen. His brows corrugated when he saw the compound. Large holes and footprints, collapsed building and several tress fallen. Taeyang looked at old Shen and then at Yinyue. Taeyang - What’s going on? Yinyue - Taeyang! Taeyang let out an “ah!” as Yinyue dived him. She hugged him tight and buried her face in his chest. Taeyang looked at old Shen then at his surroundings. It felt weird seeing the change that
Taeyang stared at the cave entrance that old Shen had led him to. He had followed without a question and curiosity ate him from within. They stopped before the cave but old Shen turned around.Old Shen - You don’t need to follow us anymore. “Yes sir,” Mo Ying’s voice sounded. Taeyang turned but found no one. He saw no signs of being followed. He found just the setting sun behind, the grasses and a few trees that witness their arrival. Old Shen - Let’s go.He walked in and clapped his hands and the dark cave lit up. On the ceiling laid several stones that glowed bright. Similar stones to the ones Taeyang saw in the weapon’s room. Though much bigger and brighter. Old Shen led the way for them and after five minutes walk and a few bends, they arrived at a large room. ‘This is the largest cave room have seen,’ Taeyang thought. Almost as large as old Shen’s compound, the cave room possessed a large, milky pool at the center. Above the pool the sky could be seen. The sun had almost set.
??? - You want me to teach you? Under the bright full moon, Yinyue stood before the chieftain, head bowed. The chieftain, who wondered how Yinyue found her place, faced the little girl with her eyes closed. A humble home in a small-sized compound. Two tree stood on either side of the building; one of which had white leaves and the other black leaves from top to bottom. Both of which gave Yinyue a weird feeling. Yinyue stood before her home, pleading to be taught. Chieftain - I can’t. Her clear voice hit Yinyue hard. She bit her lips, got on her knees, and bowed on the ground. She didn’t plan on taking no for an answer, definitely not. Chieftain - Even if you roll on the floor I can’t. Yinyue’s fingers dug into the ground then tightened into a fist. Longing to protect what was precious to her, she had rushed over to the strongest in the village. Yet she had been rejected. She felt and knew, no other person in the village could teach her for they had something in com
*Meanwhile* “Why did you let him go there?” Old Shen drank his tea while he listened to the chieftain. As always, her eyes were closed but her expression unfriendly. He let out a sigh after taking a very deep breath. She had come to see him in his place and met him drinking tea underneath a tree. When she asked about Taeyang he told her everything without hiding anything. He understood why she was worried but— Old Shen - In the future you saw, he took us out, right? So why are you scared? Chieftain - The people may not know but you and I know the future I see can change. It isn’t fixed. Old Shen - Nine out of ten it doesn’t change. So why are you afraid? Besides, he has the marking of an ancient beast. Chieftain - I really hope he doesn’t di—— The chieftain paused, her eyes opened and her breathing halted. From afar she sensed something she had never sensed before. Old Shen - What’s wrong? She didn’t reply, rather she faced the right. Old Shen smiled and

For the past weeks, Yinyue attacked it from time to time. In the first week, it only defended itself because of Taeyang’s instruction. It didn’t want to harm her in anyways. However, by the second week, it got infuriated and fought back. Though it didn’t attack seriously, it did its best to frighten Yinyue. It made sure not to harm and gave her time to dodge. Yinyue on the other hand didn’t back down. She kept fighting day by day, until she was tired.By the third week it understood her intentions. It fought more seriously and didn’t mind hurting her a bit.
The lizard jumped out of the water. It wiggled its head from side to side to get rid of the water. After a while the duo came out completely dry.“How did I do?” Yinyue asked with a big smile on her face. “Great,” Taeyang said as he pat her on the head. She closed her, curved her lips into a smile and enjoyed it. He turned to the lizard and said. {You may go back.}The lizard let out a cry before it jumped into the water. Taeyang turned and found Yinyue’s fixed gaze on him. She said no words and just stared at him.“What?” he asked. “Hmm, how can you speak to it?”“Oh, I met someone who taught me how,” Taeyang replied with a smile. “Though, the person is gone now.”“That’s bad.”“Yeah. Come on, let’s go.” Taeyang stretched his hand out and she took it. Together they made their way out of the cave. Taeyang turned to the sky. The moon stood proudly up high in the dark sky, while the stars complemented it. “Can you take us to the chief?” he asked. “Alright,” Yinyue replied. An ice pla
“Felt it right?” Old Shen asked. “That lad was lying to us about something.” He stood beside the chieftain who sat down on a cliff. The sun was at its peak and the sky as clear as it could be. “Whether he lied or not, we have to be careful. If that ancient beasts really resides in his body, then using him as a sacrifice for our curse will be hard,” the chieftain said. “Hard not impossible?” Old Shen asked. “Hard,” the chieftain replied. “That ancient beast may be powerful, but it can be restricted after all its just a soul residue.” “What should be our next move then?” “We’ll allow him cultivate in there for three months. With his talent and the resources there, he should reach the low-tier core formation realm.” “Is it really alright to leave him in there?” Old Shen asked. “What if he finds that thing?”“He won’t. Only Nascent soul masters can sense it,” the chieftain replied. “Tell the people to start preparing, we leave this realm in three months.”“Alright.”****Two Weeks L
