Chapter 4: Siblings

Five years passed and Tianshang didn't reveal neither his talents nor his cultivation instead he continued to enjoy the company of his parents and even encouraged them to give him brothers and sisters, each time it caused both Zhu Feng and Zhu Long to become embarrassed. But eventually it worked as now he was the oldest of three, his parents had twins, a boy, Zhu Hai and a girl, Zhu Lei. They had become the target of doting of their big brother, Tianshang sneakily fed them Heavenly Treasures while refining their bodies with a Heavenly Earth Grade Flame, `Purifying Lotus Flame'. They weren't reincarnated Heavenly Dao Emperors with Divine Sky Grade Natal Artefact which was still evolving, their bodies could only handle the mild flame of this level. Their talent slowly reached the limit of the Heavenly Plane and condensed in the form of a Heavenly Physique which granted the cultivator immense strength and great talent with some other abilities. Few were granted the physique at birth and there weren't many ways to gain it either. There weren't many people who could use Heavenly Herbs like Tianshang, after all he had the Immortal's Farm. It was where he kept his stack of materials for Alchemy, Refining and Arrays, it was a mini world inside but now under the influence of the Five Element Dao along with the Thunder Dao and the Devouring Dao it was slowly becoming a True Minor World and the Herbs, Flowers and the Mystical Beasts inside were growing in strength and numbers.

Fast forward another five years and he had shown a little bit of his genius and displayed a cultivation of Fifth Level Spirit Gathering Stage at the age of 10. Although it wasn't like the `True Geniuses' of the sect, it was very good result considering he was also a Heavenly Yellow Grade Alchemist, Weapon Smith and Array Master, even one of those titles at his age would be amazing but all three of them together with his cultivation level made him a High Level Genius just below the Level of Peak Geniuses. But that was in the eyes of the world, only his Parents knew that he was a Heavenly Immortal Grade Alchemist, Weapon Smith and Array Master. Zhu Tianshang thought to keep it a secret but then he thought, if he couldn't trust his parents, who could he trust. His younger siblings would have to wait, all children love to brag and his siblings were no different. And right now Tianshang was enjoying his quiet life, he didn't want to change that. With his help, his Parents changed Techniques to those from the Divine Plane, his Father started to cultivate the `Divine Thunder Dragon Technique', the Divine Immortal Grade cornerstone technique of the Thunder Dragon Sect while his Mother chose the `Nine Tails Phoenix Technique' which was not only a Divine Immortal Grade Technique that gave a great boost to the Fire Element cultivators but also gifted them Phoenix Fire which grew with them and could be used to heal, attack and alchemy.

During these years, his parents went from the Low Heavenly Dao Saint Stage to the Peak Heavenly Dao Sage Stage. His Younger Siblings were currently Five Years old and were at the Ninth Level Body Refining Stage while he had also advanced to the First Level Foundation Stage. This speed of cultivation would put those `Peak Geniuses' to shame but he didn't want the world to come after him as although with his Low Heavenly Dao King Stage cultivation base with energy equal to a Divine Foundation Stage Cultivator his Body Strength which could decimate a Divine Core Stage cultivator, Soul Level which could Insta-kill the same level of cultivator and his Treasures he was invincible, he wanted to enjoy his time and not be killing fools who were after his treasures. Today was the day he turned 11 and it was around this age when he was added to the Sect Records officially. Right now, the whole family was headed to the Main Gathering Hall at the Jade Mountain Rage. Only Geniuses were inducted here, the rest were only added on the Sect Register and their Soul Lamps were only created when they reached the Spirit Core Stage, that was when they could at least become an Outer Peak Lord (only for those who were old).

They had just reached the Main Hall when just like in his previous life an Elder from the same Department as his Father came over to taunt him. ``Well! Well! Zhu Long, guess my child is better than yours, he's at the Ninth Level Spirit Gathering Stage. Guess a Son follows his Father's footsteps.'' Zhu Long wasn't angry at Tai Yang's words, and responded to him in the same tone, ``Yes, you are correct. A Son follows his Father's footsteps, my son is younger than yours by a year and is also a Heavenly Yellow Grade Alchemist, Weapon Smith and Array Master. While your son can't even seem to pass the basic test of the Alchemy Peak, you are correct, A Son follows his Father's footsteps. '' Tai Yang's face was priceless, it was contorted in anger and he lashed out, ``Zhu Long!'' he shouted and tried to pressure his Father with his Mid Heavenly Dao Saint Stage cultivation base. In his previous life, his parents both had to join hands to resist the pressure and fight back and injure the s*thead but this time his Father gave him a taste of his own medicine and pressured Tai Yang with a Peak Heavenly Dao Saint Stage cultivation base.

Bam! Tai Yang was on the floor in shock, ``How did you get so strong?!!!'' he was barely able to say the words and was out of breath when he finished. His father was considerate of him being a fellow sect member and let him go, ``That's none of your business, Tai Yang. This time was a warning, don't provoke me further.'' After giving him a warning, the family left but they didn't see Tianshang sneakily placing a packet of powder in Tai Yang's clothes. It was filled with Itchy Powder but it wasn't like the ones from the mortal countries and was instead made from Heavenly Herbs and was highly potent. Only Zhu Tianshang could be so wasteful with Heavenly Herbs, others couldn't do so even if they wanted to. It was incredibly hard to find said Herbs and even when found they were usually guarded by either Natural Barriers, Arrays or Heavenly Beasts. The effect of such a powder were intense, in a minute, Tai Yang was scratching himself with his energy so as to not lose face but in another minute he was using his hands, the next minute he was rubbing himself against a pillar like a bear and finally he jumped into a water fountain which erased all evidence of said powder making him look like an idiot in front of the whole sect.
