The night was stormy and a metallic scent filled the air in the star continent. Villages burned and screams of agony could be heard in all directions. On a large mountain range by a cliff, a group of 5 figures could be seen at the edge cornering two people.
"Zhi'er!" Shouted a woman wailing with tears falling from her beautiful and delicate face like a river. She had elegant black hair and a mole underneath her shimmering bright ruby eyes. She stood strong with her martial spirit, a giant demonic serpent with wings was behind her.
She leaped forward with her martial spirit as she faced a thin. a tall man who had soft facial features and his bright blonde hair tied into a ponytail wearing a white robe with a golden dragon on the end."Jin Mei give up!" He roared.
This man had a large Azure blue sword martial spirit, which complimented the shining silver sword in his hand that was laced with a golden handle.
"Never!" She shouted as her own sword appeared which was similar but had a rose pattern as the handle and the blade was red instead of silver. They then continued to exchange moves, It had been 60 moves until suddenly, a reverse kick hit her from the side sending her flying to the edge of the cliff nearly falling off.
"Mama!" a young boy with a slightly red hue eye with the other being abyssal black shouted running towards her as his small body tumbled but landed just next to her.
"You orthodox hypocrites!" Jin Mei shouted in disgust.
"Bei Xuan the Immortal Emperor had said to leave the Heavenly Demon's wife alive." A man wearing similar clothing informed the man who kicked the woman.
"I know that! Just take the child, I will hold her." Bei Xuan ordered with a stern look to his subordinate.
"Understood." the subordinate replied as he rushed towards the boy. The other 3 guards then rushed towards Jin Mei.
She tried to cover the child and blocked one attack from the three subordinates. Unfortunately, Bei Xuan suddenly appeared beside her and sliced across her chest with one swift sword movement.
At that moment the subordinate told to take the child grabbed him as he quickly vanished and appeared back beside Bei Xuan.
"If you move we will hurt the child." Bei Xuan replied seeing Jin Mei thinking of her next move. Jin Mei knew what he meant and because she was heavily injured she had no choice but to just stand still as she watched her child being taken in front of her.
"I won't move." She replied as she fell to one knee putting down her sword.
Bei Xuan then called upon his flying sword as he and his subordinate who held the child left the scene. "You stall her then retreat." He said to the three guards still besides Jin Mei.
"Yes sir." They replied in unison holding their swords towards Jin Mei.
As soon as they left Jin Mei released her Qi and an intense murderous aura could be felt from her as she looked at the three before him. "You three will appease my pain, even if just a little!" She shouted as she rushed towards the three easily taking their heads. She then stared into the distance in which she could no longer see her precious child.
"Oh~ my Zhi'er. Mother is truly sorry..." She said as she fell to the floor tears continuously flowing from her face.
********************
8 years later in the immortal sword mansion's master bedroom;
An old man with a weak body and bright hazel eyes laid in a bed as he continuously coughed. "Zhi'er come here." an adenoidal, croaky voice called coming from the old man.
Then a 12-year-old boy with long black hair tied into a ponytail but part of it just messily blowing to the left side ran inside. This teenage boy had a well lean body and his once abyssal black eye now shone a bright emerald green while his hue red shone even brighter as if a ruby.
"Immortal Emperor, you called?" Asked the boy.
"My time has come, it is a pity I could not withstand the poison any longer and cannot train you further." The old man answered with a pitiful look in his eyes.
"Master you do not need to say such words, just get more rest." the boy replied with worried eyes as he grabbed the old man's hand.
"No, I need to tell you this last thing Zhi'er, Bei Xuan will now be the new Immortal Emperor and thus your new master promise me that you will listen to him!" The old man uttered as his breath become weaker.
"Master I....." Was all the boy could get out as the hand he held now felt cold and lifeless as his master had drawn his last breath.
Upon the old man's death bells began to ring across the land in a slow rhythm mourning the death of this great master.
"I Jin Zhi will become the greatest martial artist under the heavens and surpass my master!" The boy said as a new fire had been lit inside his eyes.
Unbeknown to him a figure was watching, this figure was Bei Xuan. "Alas I will need to make sure this boy does not learn the truth or it would end badly for us. He is already in the 5th profound layer at his age. If he learns that he is born from the Heavenly Demon and if he remembers his memories as a child I wonder what he would do." Bei Xuan pondered to himself seeing how Jin Zhi mourned for the Immortal Emperor.
Later that night Jin Zhi laid in his room that had a traditional Chinese decor with a single incense burning on the table beside his bed.
Jin Zhu was sleeping and shivering in his sleep and he continued to wriggle around muttering "Mama....mama doesn't leave!"
He then awoke in a cold sweat and placed his hand on his face before saying "T-this dream why do I always have it. I know it shows my mother but it is always so blurry that I cannot even see her face nor any of the surroundings. Dammit!"
He then sat on his bed in a lotus position and he began to cultivate.....
A/N: Ok I know it doesn't make much sense right now but trust me it will later on. I only have a rough idea of the plot but I think this is a decent start.
I was going to make it so the demon sect took him but I thought this would be more interesting and I will make it so he slowly learns the truth as he becomes stronger.
