In The Beginning

At the centre of the region known as the Bermuda Triangle lay a glorious spectacle, 4 golden Qullins pulled along a vast landmass on which were several buildings which were all enclosed by a gigantic fence with several inscriptions and runes inscribed on it, there was a single gate on which was written 'The Burning Light Sect', one of the foremost sects of the cultivation world on the blue planet with the name of Earth.

At the centre of the sect, a massive edifice which was the sect master's pavilion was located, in the innermost area of the pavilion the surroundings was chaotic and fear was evident on the faces of the people in the building as the Sect Mistress was in delivery at the time and as time trickled pass, the cries of a baby could be heard. It was a baby boy.

Weirdly enough, a sad atmosphere enveloped the sect which one would find weird because a leader's son's arrival into the world would have been celebrated with pomp and grandeur. All of a sudden, a tall figure with a star flashing behind him appeared in the deliver room out of nowhere, a non caring expression on his face as he looked at the baby, his identity would be shocking to any one who was in the know, for he was the Sect Master of the Burning Light sect.

And he said in a deep voice " Another son of mine has been born, clean him and prepare him for the sacrifice", at these words, the Sect Mistress cried out in pain " No, don't do this, he's innocent I can't let you do this to another child". The. Sect Master's face hardened and he said in a low but frightening voice", give me a female child, even you know of the prophecy, I won't be usurped by my own child, rather, I shall reign supreme over this sect, this planet and eventually this world".

As he said these words, there came a portent in the sky as dark clouds covered the land and an alarm rang around the sect " All sect disciples are to cultivate the third section of the BURNING LIGHTS BURN THE FATE Decree and channel their Mekra to the Sacrificial palace, at once all the disciples within the sect moved to their residences and sat in the lotus position and a book appeared behind them, the appearance of the books caused even more turmoil amongst the heavens." Raise the barriers" said the Sect Master and at once a golden light enveloped the sect and the turmoil in the heavens grew even further with white lightning which was dotted with gold and black lightning flashed across the heavens. The Sect Master cast a piercing look at the Sect Mistress and vanished amidst the cries of the Sect Mistress.

Deep down within the sect was an enormous sacrificial altar that stank of blood and had a bloody mist around it. Shockingly, the newborn son of the Sect Master was strapped to the altar with an obsidian dagger with ornate carvings on it next to him. Suddenly, the Sect Master appeared next to the baby as he said " Yet another one, hegemony shall be mine alone, I shall not be usurped by a mere fledging son of mine, no prophecy shall bind me from my path to Ascendency, you son of mine shall merely be am addition to the other sons of mine who have ended up as footstools and power sources to my ascendancy".

Such horrifying words were heard from the mouth of the Sect Master as he proceeded to take hold of the knife while chanting " O Sacrificial Blade of Melgor, take the body and blood of this unruly son and grant unto me even more strength for I shall be invincible across the heavens". As he spoke those words, he picked up the dagger and drove it towards the baby's heart, a terrifying scream came from the baby as his own chest was carved open by his own father with a dagger, and the Sect Master proceeded to cut out a golden ball from the baby's heart, the golden ball being his dantian. Shockingly enough, the baby didn't die, the Sect Master poured a liquid on the baby's chest which healed the wounds on his chest, but at that moment the baby's future as a cultivator was destroyed in that only the datian allows one to cultivate Mekra.

At that moment, the multicolored lightning fell upon the sect, only for it to be stopped by the barrier. The Sect Master sat in a lotus position and suddenly, the dagger moved by itself and cut open the Sect Master's chest and the ill obtained datian was absorbed into his chest, if one were to look into the Sect Master's chest, one would be disgusted because the baby's datian went ahead to join 10 other small datians revolving around the Sect Master's datian and they were slowly being absorbed into the Sect Master.

The Sect Master looked at the baby and he made some hand symbols and a portal appeared behind the baby which sucked him in, the Sect Master looked on with a cold face and after the baby was sucked in, the portal folded on itself. All of a sudden, the Sect Master levitated upwards slowly while his body started glowing as the Mekra around the sect for 10 miles rushed to him as the datians surrounding the Sect Master's datian got assimilated fully into the Sect Master's datian and the Star on his back collapsed into itself forming a black hole. The Sect Master laughed hysterically as he said " The power of a black hole is mine now due to the sacrifice of ten sons shall bring me to the apex". He teleported to his pavilion while sending out a voice transmission. An elder flew towards him at this point as he gave out orders " Hush up what happened today, wipe memories if you'll have to, I shall consolidate my realm and continue breaking through. Dismissed" The Elder vanished at once and set about doing what the Sect Master commanded him.

The Sect Master went in to the Sect Mistress and cast a spell on her that made her forget the incident, she forgot her painful birth giving, her son and the other children taken away by the Sec Master. In this way, a horrifying act was committed with no one realizing it, a being came out stronger but he had created a terror for himself unknowingly and he would come to regret sparing the baby's life.
