Above All. Below One God's Man
In the celestial realm, a realm beyond mortal comprehension, a mysterious and noble place existed. It was a realm where ethereal beings resided, a realm where the heavens and the earth converged. Within this divine realm, a tragedy unfolded, one that would forever change the fate of a newborn baby. On a starry night, a radiant star shone brighter than all others. This star symbolized the birth of a special child, destined for greatness. As the star illuminated the heavens, a celestial ceremony commenced, celebrating the arrival of the long-awaited infant. However, fate can be both cruel and unpredictable. As the newborn boy took his first breath, a chilling wind swept through the heavens, heralding an ominous presence. The celestial beings watched in horror as the baby's life force gradually faded away, leaving his tiny body lifeless. Silence fell upon the heavens as grief and despair filled the hearts of the ethereal beings. How could such a promising life be extinguished before it had even begun? The heavens mourned the loss of this innocent soul, their sorrow echoing through the divine realm. In the midst of their mourning, a decision was made. Unable to bear witness to the tragedy any longer, the celestial beings decided to cast the baby's remains out of the heavens. They believed that by banishing his lifeless body to a distant and insignificant universe, they could shield themselves from the pain of their failure. With great sorrow, they wrapped the baby boy's body in a celestial shroud and gently placed him within a golden basket. The basket, adorned with intricate designs and ancient symbols, was imbued with a spell to guide it to its final destination. With a collective sigh, the celestial beings released the basket into the vast expanse of the heavens. Guided by an unseen force, the golden basket descended through the celestial layers. ....... .... but would such a special infant of two powerful bloodline die easily ?? find out...
Chapter 6: The Clash of Power
High walls adorned with intricate designs enclosed the estate of the Cing clan, nestled in the heart of Chi city. The clan's influence was felt across the region, their prowess acknowledged by many, yet dismissed as inconsequential by the legendary sects. As the sun set, bathing the courtyard in warm hues, the clan head, Master Zhi of the Cing clan, and the elders gathered to welcome the visitors once more.
Across from them stood the elders of the Demon Fist Sect, the Blue Whale Sect, and the Bull Fight Sect, their presence imposing and their power undeniable. Master Zhi, a Sky realm expert, held his head high, his aura matching the stature of the esteemed guests. The elders of the big sects, each at the threshold of the Cynthia realm, radiated an energy that transcended the known limits of power.
Elder Cynthia of the Blue Whale Sect spoke first, her voice carrying a gentle authority. "Master Zhi, your clan's influence in Chi city is evident, but compared to the potential our sects can offer, it might seem like a mere droplet in the vast sea."
Master Zhi's gaze was steady as he responded, "Elders, the Cing clan may not command the same resources as your legendary sects, but our strength and unity are not to be underestimated."
Elder Cynthia's lips curled into a knowing smile. "True, but imagine the heights Denny C could reach under the tutelage of a cultivator on the threshold of the Cynthia realm."
Elder Cynthia of the Demon Fist Sect interjected, "Our sects have treasures and knowledge that could reshape his destiny."
Grandmaster Zhou of the Bull Fight Sect leaned forward, his deep voice carrying an air of authority. "And let's not forget the potential for alliances that can propel him to unprecedented levels of strength."
Master Zhi's eyes flickered, his determination unyielding. "Elders, our clan's loyalty and values are unwavering. We hold our own power, and Denny C's journey is one that will be guided by our traditions."
Elder Cynthia of the Bull Fight Sect chuckled softly. "But traditions can only take one so far. Imagine the impact he could have under the banner of a legendary sect."
Master Zhi's voice remained calm. "Elders, we appreciate your interest in Denny C's future. But understand that our clan is not one to be swayed by promises alone."
Elder Cynthia of the Demon Fist Sect raised an eyebrow. "Then let us make this more enticing. We shall offer you rare treasures, ancient scrolls, and alliances with other influential clans."
Elder Cynthia of the Blue Whale Sect added, "And we promise a future of endless possibilities, under the guidance of those who have reached the threshold of the Cynthia realm."
Grandmaster Zhou of the Bull Fight Sect leaned back, a glint of challenge in his eyes. "Our offer includes unparalleled strength, access to forbidden techniques, and the backing of a legendary name."
Master Zhi's gaze shifted to the determined young face of Denny C, who stood nearby, watching the exchange with wide eyes. "Elders, your offers are tempting, but the Cing clan's legacy cannot be discarded lightly. Our decision is not solely ours to make."
After a moment of silence, Elder Cynthia of the Bull Fight Sect nodded, a glimmer of respect in her eyes. "Very well, Master Zhi. We understand the weight of tradition and family. May your decision lead Denny C to greatness."
As the sun dipped below the horizon, the elders of the legendary sects took their leave, their auras receding into the distance. Master Zhi turned to Denny C, a mixture of pride and concern in his eyes. "Denny C, your path is yours to choose, guided by our clan's values and strength."
Denny C nodded, his resolve unwavering. "I understand, Clan Head. I'll make you proud."
And so, the night settled over the estate, as the decision hung in the air, an invisible clash of power, promises, and a young talent's uncertain future.
