The Truth

When he learned that his mother was the frozen star he was stunned. He had no words to speak. He felt something unusual about him. He never felt that way he felt by then.

While madam Lin was very nervous. Her heart was beating fast. She was scared of how her son would react if he knew his mother sacrificed his martial form to break through to be a black star mage. She didn't dare to look at his face.

Lin Cian asked her "Is that you?"

--silence—

Once again Lin Cian asked in a humble and low voice,

"Mother, are you the frozen Star?".

She didn't speak anything she just noded which implied 'yes'.

He just said two words "Thank you".

Xing Yu Bing was amazed by her son's reply. She asked him in a low voice

"Aren't you angry towards me?"

"Why should I?"

"Your body is not being strong because I absorbed your soul force and your martial form to gain strength. You should probably be angry towards me" she told this with a helpless look.

Lin Cian finally understood why is she always felt helpless towards him. He stood up from his bench and sat near his mother, he gently hugged her and coaxed her.

Even though he is just fifteen his mental ability is surpassed and matured than many adults Because of the bullying he endured, learning to gain knowledge and Lin Tamayo's encouragement and support. Even though he is not strong physically his emotional intelligence is far greater than an average person's.

He said to his mom "I've read in the book of 'Soul and Spirit knowledge' that if soul force is forcibly taken from a person the person who lost the soul force will be dead"

---Silence---

"I am alive which explains it was me who transferred my soul strength to you. And also I saw a note from a random book that the soul of a child is connected to the mother when it is in her womb and it feels the same way as its mother. That explains everything. But how did that little energy is enough for you to become a star mage from a gold mage?" Cian said confused.

Upon hearing that madam Lin was surprised, she never knew her son had a profound knowledge and understanding of the laws of nature. She decided to solve his confusion. She forced herself to look strong in front of her son.

"Book of Truth, ha... I never knew you read it. Have you heard the dark arts of blood sacrifice?"

"huh, Blood sacrifice" Cian was stunned "That explains why".

Because the art of blood sacrifice is an illegal art that requires blood to be condensed and purified as a soul and spirit source which will be used for them to cultivate. It will be far stronger when the sacrifice is a child, Especially the same blood of the practitioner which is his or her child.

Upon hearing that Lin Cian was silent.

Madam Lin decided to speak, "no one believes the book of truth. Neither did I. But the bond of mother and child it states is something that opened my eyes. I indeed felt helpless I don't want to lose my husband or my child. By then you responded. I hid it from you because I was scared of losing you. I am ...."

"I am happy mother. I don't have the right to blame you because my life was given by you. I love you mother" Lin Cian said this with watery eyes. He felt that at last, he did have contributed to his parents.

The fact that hurt Cian over the years, the fact which let him be bullied over the years, the fact which let others call him lame, the fact which made him unable to practice soul or spirit techniques felt nothing to him. The burden which he carried throughout the ages felt weightless to him now.

Madam Lin felt that she is no longer afraid of losing her son. She asked him "You were prepared for what you heard. Do you already know it?"

"Indeed" her son replied.

He was said as good for nothing but he was a good philosopher and a scholar who had a profound understanding of soul and spirit. When he learned the 'book of truth' and 'Soul and spirit knowledge' he guessed that he transferred his soul and spirit to someone.

She was astonished this young man have far surpassed her maturity. Her heart was at ease now that her son has accepted the cruel truth.

For eighteen months Xing Yu Bing trained Lin Cian. Then there came a day for him to go out and explore the world.

His father the lord of the Lin clan Lin Yasho came to visit him and asked him to move out to explore the world.

Yin Yasho was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was a tall figure who would be a little less than two meters. He had a healthy body not so fat or not so thin. His appearance gave a graceful yet powerful impression. He had not particularly dark, black hair and a little beard. He wore a long robe and was not an unreasonable person. He won't say what he thinks openly except for his wife.

"My son I hope you won't let me down. Indeed, I promised someone about your achievements. I am sorry I don't want to push you but now you are striving for strength let me give you what you should inherit"

The lord of the lin clan pulled out a ring which is silver in color, it had multiple patterns in it. He handed it over to his son and said

"These are my treasures hope it would be good enough for you. Speak to your mother now you will be heading out tomorrow"
