17 One Year
Qi Meng is diligent in his cultivation.
Everyday, he would meditate and cultivate his soul during the afternoon nap and cultivate his realm at night.
In his previous life, his parents died at an early age while he was only 5 years old.
This is one of the main reasons why he had pursue to find a way to enter rebirth after his strength had reached an unparalleled realm. And yes, here he is now successful.
Days passed quickly and Qi Meng did not notice that his first birthday is already approaching.
Even though his clan is small, his parents thought of having a simple party for the children to celebrate Qi Meng's first birthday within the clan.
This is also a way for the other children in the clan to know of his existence.
"Agoogoogoo.. agoogoo.."
Qi Meng did his cute baby talk in a very charming manner while playing alone.
Chu Yuexia is busy in her training camp so Qi Meng had to pretend to play alone like a normal baby would do.
Qi Zi is eminently fond of watching her baby play. Having finish to prepare meal for lunch, Qi Zi went over to Qi Meng and played with him.
An hour later, Qi Yu came home for lunch.
"Dear, have you informed the elders about Qi Meng's 1st birthday party?" Qi Zi asked sweetly.
"Yes, yes. They are excited about it. But I did told them that the party is not meant for old people like them. They laughed so hard and after realizing what I just said, they seems so down. Hahaha."
"I did mentioned though that they can also come to eat at the party but leave the playing part to the juniors."
Qi Yu is laughing out loud while narrating to his wife the story about these funny elders.
Qi Zi joined her husband laughing heartily imagining how the elders would look like if they played along at the party.
"Babababa.. bababa.. baba..."
Qi Meng did his cute baby talk again while reading some children's cultivation books with illustration.
Qi Yu and Qi Zi turned their attention to Qi Meng and laughed so hard after noticing that he was reading the book.
With the addition of Qi Meng in the house, the sect master's courtyard became more lively each day.
After having their lunch, Qi Zi busied herself in cultivating while Qi Meng is sleeping.
Meanwhile, Qi Yu went back to the clan's backyard to train the 5 juniors.
Qi Meng is cultivating his soul during his sleep.
There is still 2 more weeks before Qi Meng turns 1 year old.
His soul is only getting stronger each day. He is not rushing but one can notice the excited smile on his face during his sleep as if he were dreaming.
At the clan's backyard, Qi Jiang, Qi Min, Chu Yang, Chu Qing and Chu Yexia are practicing their combat techniques.
Chu Yuexia almost caught up with the other four in terms of cultivation strength. As a heaven's daughter, she had more affinity to the dao than the rest but that does not mean she is more talented.
If Chu Yuexia would be left alone to cultivate by herself without the aid of top tier Earth grade elixirs and pills, she would be left behind by these four hardworking fellas extremely far away.
The growth of these 5 juniors were astonishingly fast in the past 3 months since they started the training camp.
Snow Lotus Blade!
Ice Wind Saber!
Tiiing... claaang..... swiiiishh.... swoooshh
Sounds of snow blades and ice sabers clashing with each other can be heard.
Chu Yuexia and Chu Qing loves to spar everyday. As they are the only female in the group, they got along extraordinarily well.
The 3 boys does not like to spar, instead, they are practicing their combo attacks as instructed by Qi Yu.
Their combo attacks also works in harmony together.
Azure Clouds Descent!
Purple Lightning Dragon!
Nine Heavenly Suns!
The azure clouds descended from the sky blocking the sight of their opponent and suppresses 20% of their cultivation.
A purple dragon in the form of a lightning was formed above the azure sky and charged up until it grew 200 meters long. It then descended below the azure clouds charging forward to the opponent.
The bright sun above the sky had emitted nine small suns and descended bombarding the opponent just right after the purple lightning dragon clashed with him.
"Boom!"
Qi Yu is their sparring partner and he had to step back a few times after the combined attacks of the 3 juniors hit him hard.
His hair was messed up and his clothes had holes and burns due to the combo attack.
Qi Yu was mesmerized by the level of attack power these juniors showed upon attacking together.
Qi Yu knew that this is not the limit of these juniors' combo attack.
Chu Qing and Chu Yuexia have yet to integrate their Snow Lotus and Ice Wind Domain to the three-pronged attack just now.
Qi Yu had seen this domain once being practiced by the two little girls.
He cannot imagine what would be his outcome if he was hit by their ultimate combo attack openly.
He underestimated the strength of these five juniors.
A seed suddenly sprouted in his mind also known as hope. Maybe they have a chance to win the group battles in the preliminary rounds of the upcoming tournament.
It was already evening when they finished training.
Qi Yu went home just in time for dinner.
After dinner, Qi Yu went in straight to their room and started his cultivation.
After getting Qi Meng to sleep, Qi Zi followed her husband and started cultivation.
Qi Meng waited for about 2 hours before he started cultivating. He went to sleep at the usual time.
2 weeks had gone by quickly and is now the eve of Qi Meng's birthday.
He is excited for tomorrow's party. He had experience many birthday parties in his previous life but this is the first time that he can truly enjoy it together with his parents.
His heart felt warm at thought of this.
At midnight, he felt an unusual occurrence that he has no knowledge of before. His heart bit so fast and sweat covered all over his body.
"Oongehh.. oooongeh... oooongeh"
Qi Meng pretended to cry so hard so he can get his mother to change his clothes.
He was not sure what happened but he have a vague guess of what it is.
Soon, Qi Zi went over and saw that Qi Meng's body is soaking wet.
She immediately get a new set of clothes to change it for the baby.
Qi Meng fell asleep afterwards. Strange, to get his energy drained for no reason, Qi Meng felt really tired and fell to sleep uncontrollably.
The next morning, Qi Yu and Qi Zi are busy preparing the venue for Qi Meng's first birthday party.
There are five juniors helping them on the task.
At 5PM in the afternoon, all the invited guests from the clan had arrived.
The party has started. The children ran around and played to their hearts content.
Qi Meng can be seen at the side standing and sometimes walking along the seats.
He is watching the children play. He wanted to join but the people around him might have some ideas about him so he just watched contentedly on the side.
After the party games ended, everyone had their fill of the sumptuous dinner prepared by the family for them.
Nothing out of the usual happened. They did not invited the Chu Clan to come over as the party is only intended for Qi Meng and the children to enjoy.
The Qi Clan's elders had come as well. They just watched like Qi Meng did. Of course, it was a joke to see old people playing. but they would love to if given the opportunity.
Qi Meng is extremely satisfied and happy today.
That night, he planned to skip cultivation as he was really tired.
He was not really sure why but he did not put much attention to it.
He just went with the flow and let his sleep take over his consciousness.
At midnight, Qi Meng had reached a deep sleep when suddenly his whole body lit up.
He was awaken by the sudden change in his body,
When he opened both of his eyes, he was stupefied at what he saw!
