-CHAPTER
Yuanba put a bunch of orchids flower on the grave and give respect for the soul of the dead while Shiro followed his movement rigidly.
Tap!*
Tap!*
A sound of footsteps walking to their direction while Shiro stiff a bit, maybe worry because Yuanba didn't show any reaction to the incoming unknown thing.
…
"Hmm….It is rare to see young people show respect to the dead. Are you perhaps acquaintance with the Madam?" a calm voice of a person heard to both of them but Yuanba decides to finish his doing before greeting the owner of the voice.
He didn't feel any hostility from the person and from the tone, he recognizes it likely a person he has once met.
After he finishes showing the respect he turns back and said "Greeting, Grandpa Hong".
____________
….
..
"It already a week after the appearance of two giant fightings each other," replied Grandpa Hong to Yuanba question.
'It already a week huh….' thinking Yuanba scratching his head unknowingly. He worried the most to his father because he the one knew that he owns the shop. So after kind of thing happened and his disappearance for a week without news. Added with the rumor about he vanish got eaten by two ravaging monsters, Xia Hongyi must be crazily searching for him.
"Young Yuanba. What actually you doing here?" asked Grandpa Hong looking to him before showing a smile while glancing to Shiro beside him.
"I'm training and cultivating" replied Yuanba realized that the old man misunderstood something here.
"Young Yuanba is really a hardworking person. Maybe that why he got such beauty as a partner" teased Grandpa Hong.
'Why you blushing!' thought Yuanba after saw Shiro actually fidget with the reddish face. Yuanba starts to pinches her side before she moans and hitting him lightly to release her.
….
"Hahaha….It's okay. Young generation should enjoy their youth time" replied Grandpa Hong to the apologies about before from Yuanba.
"Young Yuanba. There something I about ask" continue him.
"Did you perhaps know whose grave was that?" voice, Grandpa Hong pointed to the stone. Yuanba just shook his head as a facade because how come he will explain he knew her from reading a fictional book.
"So why you do that?" pointing his action to the grave from before.
"I just pay respect to the dead one as I borrow the area around here to training. In simple words, you can call it coincides" lied him.
"Is there a connection between Grandpa Hong and the person?" asked Yuanba back.
"You call it like that. Actually..." explained the accident happened where Xiao Lie wife struck by black lightning when pregnant Xiao Lingxi and she got birth after thirteen months.
________________
"Are you sure you want to stay here?" asked Grandpa Hong.
'This young man finally become a reliable person. He always looking timid if he with Xiao Che but now he changes, even this old man hardly recognizes him' what was passed through the Grandpa Hong.
He didn't need to worry because he can feel Yuanba strength is much stronger than before and he can't even calculate the depth of it. Looking at the devilish handsome young man with black hair somehow in heart he felt proud for him. But his attire still weirds him out until now, which he didn't want to mention because it gave a different aura which kinda free, added with the big blade which released sharp feeling.
"Yes. After tomorrow I will return to the city and can I ask Grandpa Hong help send this message to father" voice him as he passed a letter.
"Don't worry about it. I make sure to deliver it" reassured Grandpa Hong as he received and put it inside his robes. The old man starts to walk in the direction of the Floating Cloud City.
….
..
"Let's go. We have work to do" disappear him and Shiro from sight.
___________
"This feeling.." Yuanba placed his hand on the ground. He felt a flow of Profound Qi in an orderly manner which should not have in wild environment.
Sometimes, there is a natural formation created under the ground but it takes such a long time and more complex for a low-level cultivator like him to detect. Different from self-made one, it pretty easy to feel if someone is keen with the flow of Qi or have higher strength than the creator itself.
"It should here" muttered him after finding the most formation gathering place.
He inserts his sword into the ground to test if there any trap trigger with the move. This formation is made by Divine Phoenix Empire high-levels and pretty much it complicates for him to break it with a rash or direct attack.
'System buys me Hyuga Bloodline and Two-tailed beast (Matatabi)..... ' thought him.
[Ding!.... Deducted 15255 SS points]
[Balance: 14000 SS Point]
Yuanba felt his body heated for a second before he found his eyesight is different from normal. He tried to active by flowing the Profound Qi to his eyes but no to avail it hard to active it.
'System why I can't use it' asked him. He got replied that he received the lowest purity of Hyuga bloodline and to increase is need to consume point.
[Ding!.... Deduct 5000 SS Points]
[Balance: 9000 SS Points]
______________
He immediately purchased the highest purity but it still depends on him, how to use it or evolve it.
'Byakugan' thought him before his eyes turn enlarged and featureless white irides with no visible pupils. The activation, make the pupils of him become more distinct and the veins near the temples bulge. What a reassured was when he uses it, then the bloodline will react and this benefits him from scare people because of different type of eyes.
"Dafuq!" he heard someone cursed before found Shiro was playing her finger to the ground.
"Maybe I got heard it wrong" mumbling him.
….
He stares to the ground found many lines visible to his sight which different of length and thickness.
'Hmm...' he searching for the weakest point in the core of the formation because he needs to break it in one swoop to avoid the Sacred Ground people detect the purple-veined crystal aura.
______________
Deep inside his own conscious.
'Matatabi I think you can understand me right' he greets the cat-form inside his body who been shackled by a system with black prison gate.
'I presume you, my master, Yuanba' replied Matatabi respectfully and bow slightly. He nodded saw the behavior of it and that was his reason he bought it in the first place which beast that can keep it calm.
'I want you to help me by lending your chakra to my body. Care to cooperate' said his intention directly.
'No problem but there something I need to inform that is the energy in this world is high level than chakra itself. Also, my power can't regenerate like a normal tailed beast because there no chakra existence here' explained to him.
'Don't worry about that I will not work you excessively and after this, you can rest' replied Yuanba as he unlocked the gate before feeling the flooding of chakra that changes to Profound Qi inside his body like rushing tide.
He already thought this problem from a long time, when he ascended the higher world likely the all technique from One Piece and Naruto is almost useless to him. Both of this anime world is subpar world and level enough to devastate on the surface of the earth but to destroy a single planet is hard or almost impossible.

"Ready guys!" he looked to his four shadow clone that standing at four corners of the area.
"Start!" ordered Yuanba all of the shadow clone doing hand sign as they release a strong profound Qi.
"Four Red Yang Formation" shouted them at the same time as a small scale red barrier appeared. Yuanba doing the next step which is to cut the link of the formation using Yoru inside the barrier. He swings his sword multiple times in a barbaric manner as he didn't have any experience with sword fighting style.
But he didn't cut randomly but infused his sword with his flame devil fruit and with the assist of the byakugan he cut down each one of the formations link.
Crack!*
"Don't let your guard down!" he warned because of the aura of the purple-veined crystal will leak if they are careless. He suddenly felt strong energy from the ground which he confirmed when saw its figure.
….
He swings his Yoru and cut down the all of the crystal in a minutes before taking out a scroll. He does a few hand sign and all the crystal absorb into the storage scroll.
"Mission success disperses one by one," said him as the clone turn into smoke.
