Not long after, he was fast asleep and the same nightmarish dream.

He was only eight years old. His family had been returning from a journey to a village when they were attacked by a small army of demons led by two demon masters who were a.s.sociates of a powerful clan, the Hantian clan. His parents were true Daoists upholding justice and righteousness as part of the nine golden stars.

Their travelling group had fought very hard but they had been killed by the demons. His father who was at the peak stage golden core level, was trying to use his ultimate move when one the demon lords threw a talisman at him, a highgrade portal talisman. But it worked on him, his father was transported to a different continent.

But his mother was only at the early stage golden core level and facing two peak golden core demon lords.

All their own travelling group members were killed and all of the demon lords army had been killed too except the two demon lords; Demon lord Worm Blood, leader of the Worm Wolf clan of Blood Moon sect and Lord Black claws, leader of Black Wolf clan, Demon Claws sect.

With his mother holding him, they tried to flee but they were being pursued relentlessly. They were pursued to a nearby cave. When she realized that there was no other way except to fight, she turned to face them.

His mother took out her white obelisk staff, it grew into a size of six feet and started to radiate brilliant gold light. The staff flew to the front and it split into nine staffs . The nine formed nine walls of golden light blocking the entrance to the cave. She didn't know for how long it will hold. The white obelisk staff was her clan heirloom, an ancient magical treasure from the primordial era, given to her by her grandfather, sage of a thousand lights, her clan grand patriarch who had ascended. She cultivated the Radiant Heavens sacred art.

Her power was still lacking, she was only at early stage golden core, she couldn't fully use the power of radiant heavens.

"Husband, where are you? What's delaying you?" His mother had asked through the communication pearl.

"Please hold on, I'm already rus.h.i.+ng over." Replied his father.

He had heard the voices outside the cave.

"Give up Golden Lights, we only need your hearts." Worm Blood mocked brandis.h.i.+ng his saber.

"Oh, those tender human hearts, how nouris.h.i.+ng, how succulent and how delicious. They are already causing me to forget who I am, no, I meant who I was. I can't even think properly anymore." Black Claws licked his lips while holding his two flying claws.

"Why are you two looking for the trouble of the Nine Worlds clan? We don't have any problem with the beasts' clans. Why are you doing this?" His mother had asked them.

"You don't? Then, let me remind you, five years ago, your husband killed two of my "Red Moon" family members and didn't even bothered to send them to us for proper burial. Those two are my sons or have you forgotten? The dishonour your husband brought us was overwhelming. It should be sons for sons, but since he has one son, I will settle for his son and his wife. That's fair enough, or not?" Worm Blood asked with his head tilted.

"In this lands, it is forbidden for beast kinds to kill humans without a just cause. It's all because of the nature of your kind. Your kind enjoyed killing innocent people for fun. Those two sons of yours nearly caused a ma.s.sacre of mortal humans. Still, they killed many. Is that just? Their body were burned, their souls could not be allowed to linger and they were sent straight to the Nether realm. We don't have problems with the demonic beasts' clans, but we don't condone evil of such. It was against the Dao of the universe."

"Dao of the universe? Alright, such evil, fair -." Worm Blood was saying.

"Aha, big evil is coming, really big evil, scary evil-." Black Claws interrupted.

"BLACK CLAWS!."

Shouted Worm Blood through mind voice.

"Can you allow me to talk?" He looked at Black Claws with furrowed eyebrows. "Thank you."

He had turned his attention back to his mother.

"As I was saying, fair enough, I understood. Don't I also have a just cause for killing the two of you? Your husband killed my sons, I killed you. I believe that is also fair enough."

"Can you please give us your hearts? We don't have to fight unnecessarily today, it's a beautiful day. The deed might even give you good Karma in afterlife." Black Claw impatiently pleaded.

"Alright, if you don't want to cooperate that means we are done talking." said Worm Blood.

"Blood fangs sabre." The sabre light formed ma.s.sive head of a red wolf with blood red teeth, it collided with the flame walls, the head's attack caused the flame wall to shake.

"Dear wife, I will soon be there. They used the "eyeless shutter" arrays to conceal your place, hold on a bit more" trasmitted Hu

"I've been holding on but i can't hold on any longer, hurry up." She transmitted back.

"You know, this can't stop us for long. Why are you acting this way? Alright, what about you giving us only your own heart and we leave your son alone. Better?"

"Are we?" asked Black Claw with his eyes turning bright red.

"Of course not." replied Worm Blood using mind voice.

"Yes, we will do exactly so. What say you, fiery feathers?" shouted Black Claw.

"No? Okay then, if you can withstand my ultimate move "ghost shadow claws", I will let you be. On the honour of my name." He said. "Is my name even honourable?" He asked himself "If I say it is, then, it is."

"Be careful then."

He flicked his flying claws and giant claws of dark flowing river attacked the flame wall.

Seven of the light walls crumbled, His mother spat out blood and swallowed one rootsooth pill. The pill started repairing her internal injuries. She knew she couldn't take another attack like that head-on. She had already used the only lifesaving treasure on her, the heaven otherworld talisman.

"Am I going to die like this?"

"Golden Lights, I must admit, your foundation is really strong. You have suffered internal injuries, how long can you hold? Withstand my ultimate attack and I, also, will let you be."

He thought to himself "At last, vengeance for a just cause."

"Blood moon rite." The sabre light turned into a huge red moon emitting blood streams and headed towards the flames walls covering the entrance of the cave.

Just before hitting the flames wall, the red moon was blocked by a yellow wave of terra's light from a warhammer, the wave in the form of yellow stars.

"Wife, I'm here. Where are you?" Boomed his father's voice.

"I'm inside the cave, I'm relieved and happy you are here. I thought I was going to die." She looked at her son and tears rolled down her face.

"You dare attack my family, "DIVINE JUDGEMENT"." Shouted His father.

His father's ultimate hammer move, a rainbow hammer light formed a rainbow coloured wyvern that soared towards the two demon lords.

"Blood moon rite." shouted Worm Blood as he quickly used a life saving treasure.

"Ghost shadow claws." Shouted Black Claws using his own treasure too.

Their defensive moves shattered instantly when they collided with the rainbow wyvern hammer's light. The pressing intent of the hammer's light was very intense and it continued towards the demon lords.

"Trying to face my ultimate move from a divine warhammer head-on? Are you seeking death? If not, you would have thought otherwise."

But before the rainbow wyvern could reach the demons, everything froze in place.

Yingjie woke up breathing heavily, his mind was startled and body was shaken.

When will it stop? He would do all he could, even if it cost him his life.

He dressed up and left his room. His destination was the training field.

*******

It was a bright beautiful morning. Jufeng woke up feeling great. After taking care of his body, he headed out to the training center.

He was feeling good.

The training area was incredibly wide, the size of a small village. And was divided into three sections, Zhans.h.i.+ , Guanjun and Youxiu. The Zhans.h.i.+ section was for the disciples from year one to two, the Guanjun section was meant for disciples from year three to four and Youxiu for those from year five to six.

Upon arrival, Jufeng stood on a spot for several minutes just looking at the training disciples.

There were hundreds of disciples on the training ground practicing different types of techniques and moves.

As he walked towards the Zhans.h.i.+ section of the training ground, he could see the Youxiu section not too faraway and he decided to get a little bit closer.

These were the exceptional disciples that had been in the sect for a minimum of five years. Some of them were training together in groups while some were training individually. But the most amazing thing was the execution of their techniques and moves, it was a thing of beauty to behold. These techniques were high techniques at the least.

He was so lost in joyous trance that he wasn't aware of Yingjie coming up behind him.

"Amazing, isn't it?"

"Yingjie, sorry, i didn't notice your arrival."

"These were truly great to see. The power of Zhuji level and high techniques, truly formidable. But if you think you've seen them all, wait till you see the geniuses of Last-Swords. Their power...." Yingjie trailed off.

"Yes, the beauty of seeing young people perform such acts, truly beautiful. I can't wait to see the geniuses, i can already imagine it. Uhm, not that I haven't seen powers before, even my mother is a nascent soul demiG.o.d with really scary power, but this is us. The young ones."

Hearing Jufeng called his mother a nascent soul, a demiG.o.d! Yingjie's heart skipped and beat very fast. A demiG.o.d! Should he ask for help? Could there be a way for his own family now? Could they be saved? How true were Jufeng's words? He was in deep thoughts as they moved to the Zhans.h.i.+ section.

"This is a second grade agility technique, the Swift Spine technique. Maybe it will help me move a lot easier and faster instead of crawling like a worm all the time." Jufeng laughed, patting his own leg.

Despite the fact that it was a second grade technique, it was better than nothing. It was a difficult technique and would take him quite a long time to master but he would learn it.

He was practicing the swift spine technique for a time before switching to s.h.i.+fting heavens hand technique. He kept rotating his training between the two techniques.

Yingjie decided to joined Jufeng for a little training too to keep his mind clear.

They started to train together.

As Jufeng was practicing the swift spine technique when he took one step only to find himself several yards from the initial place he was. He tried the taking the swift steps and was very happy when he realized that he had already learned the basics of the swift steps.

He decided it was enough for the day, the following day he would continue again afterall he didn't have any lecture for the next two days.

"Truly remarkable"

Elder of the house of light, elder w.a.n.g Xiu nodded, beaming with smile. She would wait a bit and observe some more before taking the next course of action.
