Titles and Sacrifice

perhaps

For many people, titles are just given to people to commemorate their achievements in certain fields.

Or to establish their influence as a leader, like the president.

They don't think much about it and just leave it as an identity for influential people.

But for cultivators, I mean strong cultivators who have reached the level of immortal sovereign, Titles of a person held a whole new meaning.

It is like stacking all of a cultivator's achievements and powers in a single name and letting the grand dao acknowledge it.

The amount of strength these titles hold is proportional to the strength of the cultivator and the amount of fear, respect, awe, jealousy, etc other people have towards those said cultivators.

The whole ruler of this cosmos is none other than grand dao.

Heavens are a part of the grand dao given authority by it to rule a world, universe, or realm.

In simple words, Grand Dao is a father and is the CEO of the cosmos and Heavens are the sons who manage branches of these cosmos.

And these titles also influence the heavens and Grand Dao.

That is how much influence those titles held.

Nonetheless, it is very rare for a cultivator's title to let the heavens of the mortal realm act the way it did.

If it was not for Xiao Fan then the whole mortal world may have perished.

That means that even the heavens were afraid and had immense respect towards Xiao Fan.

That's to be expected actually.

There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Every person has to pay a price for their powers.

And cultivators whose sole purpose is defying the grand Dao and reaching the peak had many prices to pay.

One such example would be time. Cultivators had to work for many years even to increase a sub-realm.

Some stronger cultivators even had to see their loved ones becoming old and dying of old age as they were unable to break through and increase their lifespan.

This was just a small price to pay for prowess they are not authorized to wield.

There were many more such sacrifices that were committed by cultivators.

But still, it takes hundreds of thousands of years to reach the next cultivation realm after surpassing the immortal realm and reaching the God realm.

But here was Xiao Fan who surpassed even the grand Dao in just 500 years.

For those primordial emperors, 500 years is just a time that will be passed just by blinking their eyes once.

And here was a cultivator who surpassed their levels when they were just blinking their eyes.

It was just so unbelievable.

And this was also the reason why Xiao Fan's friends, acquaintances, and even enemies respect him from their hearts.

Even the grand Dao was no exception.

Every cultivator knows the concept of ' There is no free lunch in this world. '

And thus they also understood the sacrifice and price he paid to achieve such strength.

He may have gotten the memories of the primordial emperors who stood at the peak.

But he also had a time limit of just 300 years to reach the peak to fight against Han yuntian.

We have to know that even those primordial emperors took millions of years to reach their level.

And achieving or even possibly surpassing their levels in just 300 years is just a pipe dream.

Even the primordial emperors thought that it was impossible.

But shockingly he flipped the whole logic of cultivation and reached their level in 300 years.

He even defeated Han yuntian without much effort.

And to attain this level of strength Xiao Fan had to force himself to endure the pain he had during his journey.

He gambled his life on the line in every battle and every action he took.

He could even die at any minute or any second.

Millions of times he was just an inch away from kissing lady death.

But he preserved.

He fought against those who were several times stronger than him and won.

He even fought against the heavens and Grand dao several times and escaped alive with his life.

He preserved and preserved until this whole world couldn't stop him.

Even the primordial emperors would have died if they were in Xiao Fans' place.

How he survived every ordeal and surpassed primordial emperors in 300 years and how in just the next 200 years he surpassed the grand dao- making a total of 500 years of his cultivation journey- was a mystery to not only cultivators but the grand dao itself.

The reason he attained the title of Emperor of Mysteries.

His journey was a pure path straight towards death.

But when he survived his journey the corresponding price was also something no one could get.

Unimaginable strength.

They were what he got.

His strength was not a reward. I repeat his strength was not a reward.

But it was what he attained through pure will and preservence.

Making the cultivators not speak a word when he declared himself as the strongest.

....

" sigh..."

A beautiful and mesmerising girl couldnt help but sigh.

With big silver eyes and hair. Rosy red lips and pure white soft skin. She was wearing a silver robes with golden borders which showed her curves and slim figure perfectly.

"Master where are you..."

She mumbled with a downcast look. Many years passed since Xiao Fan left the boundless domain and returned to earth.

But to this date, his disciples were unaware of where he went to.

"Do you don't want us any more..."

She mumbled even more. Every time she spoke the surroundings near her were also affected by her.

"Tenth junior sister, can you help me right now."

Suddenly a voice of a man was heard and when the women saw who it was she was not surprised.

She smiled and asked, " eldest brother what would you want my help for."

The eldest brother Qin Xuan looking at the state of his junior sister couldnt help but sigh in his heart.

After their master left although everyone looked okay on the surface, he knew that they were sad.

When his master Xiao Fan was present, he treated every one as his own child.

He even forced and ingrained every basic necessities needed in life for them in their heads.

For example, he set a rule that every one here is just like a family.

Blood does not matter here and everyone should see each other as brother and sister.

He even made eating lunch daily together as a habit for them.

He used to always be with them when eating eating lunch and talking miscellaneous stuff.

It was fun and happy.

But now although everyone still are together and live together, without him it feels empty.

Every disciples of his felt the same.

Gone were the days where he would wreak havoc on the cultivation world. Gone were the days where every day there was some colourful shoe to watch.

Now they had only peace.

Many went to the mortal world and came back from time to time.

Some of his disciples brought justice to others.

The unlucky ones who offended his disciples were erased from existence.

Even there was many legends regarding these disciples if his.

But it still felt empty for them.

It just doesn't feel the same as it was when he was there.

Shaking his head Qin Xuan had a resolute look in his eyes.

Before leaving his master told him to look after and lead RuoXie sect and he would successfully list to his orders.

" Tenth junior sister, I would like you to give this book to the lotus pavilion."

He passed a red book to his junior sister.

When the junior sister xue lan took the book and saw what was written in the book she asjed,

"Are we returning ' Seven essence lotus art ' to the lotus pavilion."

"Yes, master said to me to return it to the lotus pavilion before he left. And you know how busy I am regarding the work in the sect. So can you give it in my stead?" he asked.

Thinking for a bit Xue lan nodded, " okay I'll send it today."

After speaking she disappeared.

Looking at the spot where she disappeared, Qin Xuan sighed.

' Hopefully his would distract her for a little while from her depression. '

He shakes his head. After few minutes he turned back and muttered,

"Master how the hell did you coax all those junior sisters in those years... Its tough."

" Please come back before im exhausted to death...."

Qin Xuan shakes his head again and left with his head hung low.

Coaxing his junior sisters is more difficult than managing this sect.

He thought and left shaking his head again.

"wait... Did master sacrifice me for his escape?"
