Chapter 5 : I am.... (5)

[Inside the stone gate]

What lies behind the stone gate was either a historical site nor was it was treasure trove but a small space, the size of a small room one can find anywhere in an Inn or hotel on Renxing Continent. To ordinary mortal or Lower Realm cultivator they will find nothing but dirt, rock and even more rock. Nothing was outstanding or eye catching except for a big boulder in the centre and even that boulder itself looks just like any other rock in the surrounding. However, to any cultivator with a higher Realm or with any knowledge regarding Laws. Specifically, Earth Laws they would find that the density of the Earth Laws surrounding the boulder is vast and condense to a point where the boulder itself was made up of Earth Laws.

Just a like a diamond hiding within the earth, this boulder is nothing but a giant diamond however within this Lower Realm who would find out. Not to mention a force field surrounding the boulder keeping all of the Laws inside without any leakage at all, causing the land and mountains in the surrounding area to appear so ordinary that with the passage of time nothing would change.

*BOOM, BOOM, BOOM*

*BOOM, BOOM, BOOM*

*BOOM, BOOM, BOOM*

Banging noised can be heard coming from the stone gate, non-stop for the pass 1 hour. Clearly it was someone from the outside trying break down the stone gate creating a disturbance that would echo inside the cave. After a while it stops and murmur can be heard outside but due to the force field in the surrounding, it became indistinct noise instead.

[Inside the mysterious boulder]

A figure of a man can be seen lying down, average height, long black hair, white tender skin and a normal face that can be seen anywhere in the crowd with no outstanding feature. He looks just like a 16-17-year-old teenager taking an afternoon nap.

*Ba-bump, Ba-bump, Ba-bump*

Slowly his heartbeat starts to thump, slowly and steadily it starts to maintain a steady rhythm. If there were anyone listening to it right now they would immediately fall to their knees full of worship as if Gods and Immortal were descending from the heavens. Lotus would bloom like spring rain and the Laws around it would dance to its tune like a melody lost in the river of time.

Unfortunately thanks to the force field surrounding the boulder, the sound and melody would stay within its boundary and would never make it pass outside.

???:" hmm…" his eyelid twitch in annoyances as his slumber was being disturb. The surrounding space began ripple like a stone being thrown into a clear lake. Slowly his eyelid opens and a pair of pitch black eyes awakens, deep inside those eyes were the chaos of the universe, the heavens would fall, hell would freeze over, the sun, moon and star were nothing but pebbles that can be crush to his whim, all of suddenly it all was revert back to a pair pitch black eyes that have just awaken from its slumber. Slowly he sits up and look around with a blank face, tilting his head side.

???:" hmm…. where am I?" he said confuse as his memories are currently in shamble. Like a jigsaw puzzle slowly being piece together but time is needed. As he closes his eyes once more to check what's left of his current memories however fragmented it is. He comes to a conclusion about his situation.

???:" I fell down I see, judging by the Spiritual Qi in the air, I must be in the Mortal Realm". He concluded as he opens his eye and check his surroundings. His gaze penetrates through the Earth Laws surrounding him, through the stone gates and he could see everyone outside and even further away beyond the horizon.

???:" Mortal Realm and Spirit Realm cultivator…interesting…oh that lass…. I see" he murmurs as he watches what's going on outside with interest. "These children's always misbehaviour regardless of which Realm they are in, guess I'll have to punish them for waking me up" he sighs. As he will the Laws into action, ripples in space spread out to the surrounding and the earth began to quake and rumbles.

The boulder that made up of Earth Laws covering him breaks apart and a strong force spread out from within, causing a small tremor on the mountain with the ground cracking up everywhere.

???:" Oh I may have used a bit too much force…. how fragile…. I'll have to control it better to ensure that the land doesn't sunder" He said while feeling puzzle about his strength. If anyone else heard him talking about destroying an entire land and mountain due to the misused of his power, they would faint right away with a heart attack as they can't imagine what his full strength could do. In order to anyone to destroyed an entire land including mountains, forest and cities that covered at roughly 500km they would have to be at least within the Heaven Realm.

As he tried to control his strength to the lowest possible to restore the ground back to what it was before, as if time was rewinding itself, the cracks on the ground were being amended and the tremor slowly comes to a stop.

Everything was back to what it was before except that the Earth Laws covering him is gone his entire body was expose without a single pieces of clothing. Average height, long black hair down to his back, pitch black eyes that have seen through the eons, a normal face that either could be call handsome or ugly. He looks just like any common mortal that can be found anywhere, however there's an aura around him that one cannot help but a deep feeling of veneration and awe, with his back straight like spear and his well endow muscle from top to bottom, he gives an off contradictory feeling between sometime and nothing, mortal to immortal and complex to simple.

???:" that should do it…. phew…. such a pain trying to hold back" he said with a tinge of fatigue as he just woke up not long ago. "Well let's go have a chat with that little lass but I can't seem to help but I feel like I'm forgetting something important". He said while feeling confuse.

???:" it's probably something to do with my fragmented memories, no worries I'll find out soon enough" he said as he stands up and starts to walk toward the stone gate. Well he did found out what was bugging him as soon as meet up with Bing Lian outside the stone gate.

As he walks toward the stone gate, it automatically shifted and opens by itself, well technically it was made from his own power so he can will it to open and close at any given times. Light shines through and cast upon him, as he walks through the stone gate, towards the little lass that he had his eyes upon since awakening, ignoring the shock gaze of everyone else there, without a care in the world, he said to her.

???:" Hey little lass, do you want to acknowledge me as your Master?" he said as he stands in front of her and her fellow sisters with their mouth hanging.
