Junior Sister

'Senior Brother and Master.' thought Yong Yunzi, looking at the stadium. An old man that is sleeping and a young man seating on the floor doing alchemy.

They have no regard for their image nor someone tried scold them for their behavior. One of them is called the Strongest of the Eastern Continent while the other is regarded as a talent that is comparable to Ancient Geniuses.

She had the confidence to be accepted because she has been through this before. The only change that happen is befriending someone that should be 10 years from now on from an Incident.

'I miss you two.' She thought again. She remember an old man with divinity and staff. He is chasing a young man that is carefree as one can be, he is the root of Freedom and Immeasurableness. She also thought of the same young man even the most malevolent existences feared and an old man encompassing anything.

She is Yong Yunzi, and she had the talent of Flame Heavenly Spiritual Root. The most destructive type of Cultivators with their attacks than any Spiritual Root. Except for Special Physiques, Bones, Blood, or Roots, it is regarded as the strongest in terms of offense.

The reason why she is remembering something even if she is not yet meeting the two in person is for a specific reason. It is because she is a regressor. She regressed three days ago and started befriending someone important.

In her previous one, she is an Empress. The latest Empress of Myriad Martial World when it started to bloom once again. She is not the brightest, the strongest, or the Daughter of an Era bu her willpower and the support of the greatest existences she ever knows, she becomes the Empress.

She was besieged, wanting to advance into the next level of Cultivation when she became a Peak Emperor Level. The level where she completely understood her Dao.

'I'll become an Originator in this life and resolve the reason why the two of you disappeared without a trace.' Yong Yunzi thought because in the fight for Supremacy when she descended. She returned to the sect, and there were no traces of Yun Haoran or Elder Gold Sword left.

Nine Hall Palace stood strong with 3 more Emperors showing up but not them. The Elders turned Ancestor didn't know what had happened because they disappeared like bubble, no a bubble leave its trace but not them.

In her stupor, she heard the Elder Gold Sword talking "Then I am the next." The Elders nodded, hearing his message early on. They have known that the Elder Gold Sword would pick. They are tempted to back away from his command because someone like Yun Haoran without any physique shone brightly. He beat someone from the outside with a special physique and the soon-to-be Holy Son of a sect.

He is the strongest but also the Saint who is not yet in his coffin. They needed to wait for 4 more generations of Peak Master changing to see that. They only sigh and envied how this guy is seeing talents based on his whim.

Elder Gold Sword disappeared. Appearing in front of Yong Yunzi. She has a determined expression on her face while looking at him. He was a mountain but also an ocean. He was the storm and also the rainbow. The destroyer and the creator. This is her master from her previous timeline. Even if the world returned to where it was before, he remained the Strongest except for her Senior Brother who she didn't know the full extension of power

"Do you want to become my disciple?" asked Elder Gold Sword. Full of authority. She felt it the second time but this time, she remained steadfast without backing down in fright.

Without a second thought, she shouted in response, "Yong Yunzi pays her respect to Master."

Elder Gold Sword stroked his beard and nodded. Yong Yunzi had a smile on her face while sweating. Her fiery and steadfast personality never changes. Her wisdom and experience makes her the brightest in this generation, however.

'I'll make sure of that.' She thought because her unblemished Dao Heart is the proof of that.

"Yong Yunzi, right?" asked Yun Haoran to his Junior Sister. The Recruitment finished 5 minutes ago and the Elder Gold Sword vanished, returning from the mountains.

They are walking from the Origin Dao Peak. Every mountain peak got a new Inner Court Disciple and only two Personal Disciples this time. The next recruitment would be 15 years from now on.

Elder Gold Sword never had a disciple but on his whim, in a Disciple Trial, he goes down in a mountain. When he returned, he had Yun Haoran as a disciple. He was 8 at the time and the regular disciples ranged from 12 to 30 years old.

Yun Haoran lead the walk while Yong Yunzi followed suit.

"Yes, Senior Brother." replied Yong Yunzi with respect.

"Aren't you curious about that old man? You should have curiosity about your master." asked Yun Haoran with a smile.

"Please enlighten me, Senior Brother." replied Yong Yunzi. Her acting had been honed throughout the years that even Yun Haoran or Elder Gold Sword cannot see through it. She can copy every line because of how important these memories are to her. If she remembered something, she would reminisce about them.

Yun Haoran lightly smiled and said, "Don't worry about him. Respect him in every turn but never be afraid of him. He never eats a child, to my knowledge. And for the rules…

There are only three rules within the Mystic Mist Peak. One, if someone points a sword at you, don't hesitate to point your sword at them. Two, respect someone if they are respectable. It encompasses your Elderly. Three, have your own opinion."

"Ohh, that's it Senior Brother?" nodded Yong Yunzi. They are walking, encircling the Origin Dao Peak.

Two reasons are for Yong Yunzi to familiarize herself with the Mountain and two to familiarize herself with Yun Haoran.

Yong Yunzi knew the rules of Mystic Mist Mountains and how fidgety she was the first time coming here. Although she wanted to talk more, she needed to control herself because this is the first time they have ever met. She wanted to hug his Senior Brother but this is not the time.

They did not encircle the whole Mountain because of how vast it was but Yun Haoran thought it was the time to return after 30 minutes of walking.

"Blackie." said Yun Haoran as a Black Centipede bloated in the sky transforming into 180 meters long.

"Don't be afraid, he is not someone who had eaten a human." assured Yun Haoran. Blackie offered his head and bowed to let Yong Yunzi climb

'That's a total lie, Senior Brother. They are your vanguard and your treasure. The Dragon Devouring Centipede and Slaughtering Heaven Centipede. They are Blackie and Whitey for now.' Yong Yunzi patted the head of the Centipede, he likes it because of how it shook its head. Whitey appeared and crawl on her head.

She remembered how Blackie devoured many enemies of his master and how Whitey transformed into a weapon slaying the enemies.

"They seem to like you." commented Yun Haoran while smiling.

When all is said and done, Blackie takes off as he walks through the air. A while later, they saw the vastness of the Nine Hall Mountains and the Peak of Mystic Mist. It had a lot of mist because this was its protection but unlike the outside, the inside is like a normal place with trees, plants, and beasts thriving. The mist is not a normal one because it was the combination of five elements qi and True Qi.

True Qi is the Qi when the Spiritual Qi had been refined by the Grotto Heaven. They are denser and more powerful than Spiritual Qi. Cultivators can affect the surrounding with their emotions alone when they have harnessed its power.

There is a Garden where he planted ingredients for Alchemy. flowers, plants, and small trees gathered. Five elements are abundant in this mountain with birds and beasts that can cultivate.

They stopped at a thatched house made of wood and vines at every angle. There is a swing to sleep and a garden of flowers outside. There are bird's nests everywhere with flowers blooming in the surrounding.

"You can live in this thatched house, I apologize if this is not to your liking because I created it an hour ago." said Yun Haoran.

"You can go to Master, he was two hundred steps away from here. You can see a river where he usually fishes." He pointed Yong Yunzi to the forest of bamboo. Trees and flowers bloomed here and the house looks cozy enough to live in.

This is not an ordinary thatched house but an application of how to manipulate the Wood. It may look like an easy job but Yong Yunzi knows that this is not the case.

'The 13th Foundation. Senior Brother obtained a Uniqueness that makes his body absorb Spiritual Qi a hundred times faster.' thought Yong Yunzi.

'His already wide Meridians become wider a hundred times than the supposed limit.

He also gains strength no normal Meridian Opening can get. The Uniqueness he would get at 13th Qi Sea is Passive Cultivation.' She was explicitly surprised at how his Senior Brother even achieved that.

'I needed to gain the 13th Foundation at every level like him.' thought Yong Yunzi again but it would not be an easy feat. Her brother is abnormal and she is not.

The reason he cannot disclose how he achieved it because of his fear of a Divine Punishment from Heaven. In her previous timeline, she was jealous of him and even said mean things like self-centered but never disclosed how many times she had begged.

She realized he was correct when someone had been punished by a Curse of Bad Luck from Heaven for saying it to someone. The person gained the 13th Foundation until Qi Sea and someone that shone like the sun in the sky, alas, he has too much arrogance.

That someone practiced it had a high degree of Tribulation that he died at the first stage. She is an Empress that reigns through the hardest times, creating all 13th Foundation would be challenging but worth a try.
