2 prologue 3&4 A Glimpse Of Time 2

As the golden Sun was shining brightly on that fateful day in Eden the power of the sun gave life to everything under its light ray and with the help of the wind reached where the light ray could not enter and fill those places with life.

Everyone in Eden started stopping what they were doing. Those who were inside their house started coming out of their houses with disbelief written all over their face, and those that were not in their home looked at the sky with the same expression of disbelief written on their faces too.

It felt like what was happening was out of the expectations of the people of Eden like it was not supposed to be happening.

Even with disbelief on their face, all the people in Eden stopped whatever they were doing; those that were working or resting at home all stopped and their attention was drawn to the life force entering their bodies.

One by one people that left their homes started sitting on the ground cross-legged in a meditative way so were those that were in their houses. They came out of their houses and sat under the golden sun in a meditative way also.

No matter what gender they were, be they male or female they all sat down under the influence of the golden sun and the peaceful wind blowing through them.

Be they young or old they all sat outside even the animals in Eden also came out of hiding and were doing their best to stay under the golden sun. 

So was that magical cultivator that as in seclusion they all came out and was sitting under the sun, since they were more sensitive than mortals they were able to feel the power of life force coming from the sun before the wind started carrying the same power to where the light rays of the sun could not enter.

In a simple village where all the people in the village were already sitting outside in meditation. 

A young boy was standing close to a man. The man was lanky and was getting close to his fifty years of age. He wore a plain brown robe that looked very simple.

The young boy was a little chubby and he was about thirteen to fourteen years of age, he was wearing a plain blue robe and there was curiosity written all over his face.

"Uncle, what is happening? The energy that is being released by the sun is different today. Is it the reason why everyone in this village is sitting down under the might of the sun".

The young boy asked. He was talking out loud even amid the villagers with the way he talked with the man in a plain brown robe. There was no content of fear that the villagers will be able to air into the conversation between him and his uncle.

A force field was created around the man and young boy no villagers were able to see them or hear what they were saying. They could be in front of any of the villagers and they won't be able to see them. Villagers walk in their direction as they pass through them. It was a spell cast by the man.

The man was focused on the sun with an uneasy expression on his face but he was able to hide this expression from the young boy even with the boy talking, his attention was still focused on the sun when the boy finished talking before he could notice any change in the expression of the man the attention of the man was directed to the young boy.

What came next shocked the young boy, his uncle tapped him on the shoulder lightly and after that, his uncle sat down cross-legged.

The young boy did not say a word when he saw the seriousness on his uncle's face and how he acted solemnly. He quickly sat down by his uncle's side with a serious expression that something big was about to happen and he was not going to miss the slightest moment of any of it.

So with all focus, he sat there looking at the golden sun and also hoping that his uncle would throw more light on the event that was happening right before his eyes.

"Relax and be more attentive and watch what will happen next".

While the young boy was waiting for some meaningful information from his uncle, what he heard his uncle say kept him skeptical. He wondered if the words came out wrong from his uncle's mouth.

Since the words came from his uncle he had to try his best to wipe out every symptom of doubt from his mind and focus on the wonder that was happening around them.

As soon as he was able to calm his mind and focus on the golden sun, the life force released by the sun, he was able to draw more of the life force at a fast rate.

"whoa….." No long different shout of surprise and joy started ringing around them 

"What! This is unbelievable what just happened"

the shout of surprise and shock was ringing everywhere in Eden what was happening was beyond what most of the mortals expected those that were doubtful about the phenomenon that was happening when heard various shouts of joy around them they could not help but calm down and wipe out every form of doubt and fully concentrate on on the life force released by the golden sun.

"Yes I can feel it more clearly. Is this what it means to have life roots? It is so amazing".

Different shouts were heard in Eden. Some people were crying when they were shouting with happiness.

Those that don't have life roots and were unable to become magical cultivators because of it, were being blessed on the spot as the golden sun was shining brightly.

The whole Eden was filled up with the voice of celebration, new geniuses were being born and some old folks that thought they would never be able to experience what it feels like being a magical cultivator were given the opportunity right there and then.

"Yes I remember, is this the Dao blessing day?

The young boy that was sitting by the side of his uncle could not help but ask he was dumbfounded when those words pop into his head, to him, it was not true but the scene that was happening around him and what he had read from the historical books, tally to what was happening so could not help but break the silence between him and his uncle.

When the man heard the statement from the young boy, he shook his head and took a calm breath before he started speaking.

"Yes you got it right, today is indeed the Dao blessing day," the man said lightly to the young boy.

"But uncle if today is the Dao blessing day then the date that is being kept by our family and the other nobles and royals was all wrong or did something went amiss". 

The young boy felt something was wrong even without his uncle telling him since he was from one of the top noble families he knew that the Dao blessing was not supposed to happen on that day but it was happening before their own eyes.

"Yes boy something is wrong with the timing of the Dao blessing of today but it is indeed the Dao blessing that is happening today rendering all the preparation of the nobles and the royals going to waste".

The man stop talking and took a deep breath he was unable to pinpoint why the modification of the Dao blessing and he continued speaking 

"Everyone will have to depend on themselves and their luck to obtain benefits from the Dao blessing today".

"The Dao Blessing Day happens every five thousand years and it is the most celebrated day in Eden, with a lot of people receiving the life force from the world herself and those that are lucky will be able to form a life root to become a magical cultivator. A day of Eden raining blessings on her people". The man said to the young boy 

"It also helps those that already have life root to purify their life root raising the quality and quantity of their life root and some of the magical cultivators that are at bottlenecks in their magical dao cultivation will have breakthroughs". 

"Let's make use of this opportunity even if it is not the right time for it to happen. If there is anything amiss when we get to our city we will know what is happening, it will take four days for the Dao blessing to come to an end". 

The man said after that he was completely focused on the power that was coming from the sun. The young boy by his side was also serious this time around not thinking about anything else but to make use of the opportunity fully.

Purifying and increasing the quantity of the life root in different realms is hard to do so no one will want to waste an opportunity like this.

Not up to thirty minutes after the young boy and man focus on cultivating and making use of every life energy they could absorb. The rhythm of the wind changed. It was no longer calm and peaceful like before but it was now sharp and fierce with every air touching a person was like it would cut through making it painful for any to experience it.

Everyone that was in meditation was forced to open their eyes to see what was happening. They were forced to quiet their deep concentration state, where they shut all their senses just to focus on only the life force energy released by the golden sun.

What met the eyes of everyone in Eden left them terrified no matter what realm they were in, be it in the mortal realm or in the Immortal realm they were all shocked to their core. 

The sweet experience they were having just some moment ago was about to turn into a bitter one. What baffled them was that the majority of the people had no clue what was happening and how to stop it.

The golden sun was now blood red with dark clouds forming around it from the blood red sun an aura of death was being released from it. The clouds were so dark that even the dimmest moment of the night could not be compared to it. 

From the blood-red sun and the aura of death it was releasing the atmosphere of Eden was instantly switched from a sunny day to the darkest night they have ever seen and comprehended.

A bell of warning started ringing throughout Eden.

When the people of Eden heard it they all knew that the worst was about to come because it was the nine thousand bell of punishment that was ringing.

"What is happening is some mighty magical beasts trying to invade our world or did a powerful person decide to be an enemy of everyone or maybe a powerful group, as gang up to cause this calamity".

Different thoughts started to pop into the head of the people of Eden when they heard the nine thousand bell of punishment.

"Since the bell was rung that means there is still hope we don't have to worry"

The people of Eden started comforting themselves they believed that since the nine thousand bells of punishment were rang then the punishment will be released on whosoever that was trying to cause a major calamity to all the living beings in Eden and they will not be able to escape untouched.

Some few minutes after the bell rang the dark clouds that were so dark and were making the people of Eden not see clearly started parting and it was brighter than before it was now like the evening of a normal day.
