Chapter 12- Master!

Chapter 12

The aura began to recede into the sword, until it was completely gone, but the sword remained incomparably sharp, and even though the overwhelming aura had disappeared, just being close to the sword made him feel pressured!

The sword began to glow, and he moved further away from the sword, cautiously. What happened next completely surpassed his wildest imagination.

The sword disappeared and turned it golden lights which compressed into the figure of a man!

The light completely disappeared, leaving a man standing There. The sword actually transformed into a man!

The man was dressed in pure white robes, his pitch black hair reached the back of his knees. He looked expressionless, making his appearance seem like an Immortal expelled from the Heavens. His eyes seemed to contain the entire boundless starry space, every single world and the secrets of the entire world of cultivation. He was not releasing even an ounce of energy from his body; he looked like a normal person who couldn't cultivate, but as he stood there, the space around ripped apart continuously.

Long feng didn't even know how to begin Imagining how strong this man was. This man's boundless strength completely destroyed Long feng's understanding of common sense, of the world!

The man glanced at Long feng expressionlessly for a split second before looking away, but that simple glance made Long feng feel as if he had been thrown into a vortex of stagnant space and time! He nearly lost his soul instantly. The man saw through Long feng completely with that single glance, including his dantian.

Long feng retreated further away from the man, terrified. The man walked towards the window and gazed at the sky

"If I wanted to harm you, no one in the entire world of cultivation can save you, so stay." He suddenly said.

Long feng froze. He was trying to leave the room when the man was not gazing outside, but he was caught. He took a deep breath before returning to the room.

"Long feng greets senior!" Not knowing what to say, Long feng clasped his fist and bowed his head in greeting. Although the man looked young, he was probably hundreds of years old.

The man sighed.

"In the blink of an eye, a hundred thousand years has passed. It feels like a day" the man spoke to himself.

Long feng almost spat out blood from frustration. This man was calling hundred thousand years as yesterday? An Imperial realm cultivator could only live for around one thousand years. What sort of concept was a hundred thousand years? That was equal to having a cultivation hundred times stronger than an Imperial realm expert. How strong was that? And it seemed like this weird man had lived for much longer than that!

"You're right. I've lived for around four million years. Comparing me to those trash of the Imperial realm, you are really looking down on me." The man spoke again.

Long feng was totally dumbfounded. This man could read his thoughts! What kind of strength was that? How was that even possible?

The man continued speaking.

"A million years ago, before my master left, he asked me to come to this lower realm, to this Continent, to this city and wait for his descendant. I waited all this while in the plain between two mountains in my sword form under the rain and snow, until I rusted, but I remained still, until seven hundred years ago, when a man created a clan on the plain between the two mountains where I stayed. He called his clan, the Long clan. He accidentally found me and mistook me for a broken Yin level armament." Upon saying this, he chuckled.

"Nevertheless, I let him take me and keep me within his weapon pavilion. I remained in a slumber for the next few hundred years, until fourteen years ago. I felt the presence of foreign auras within this lower realm. They came from the upper realms. Although the intruders were too weak, they were still strong enough to exterminate this entire realm without even knowing, so I paid attention to them." The man stopped and glanced over Long feng again

"A man, a woman and a month year old child were being chased by a group of people. Although the couple were stronger than their pursuers, they were still disadvantaged because the woman was still weak from childbirth while the man had taken a powerful attack for her, making him weak. Having no other choice, they left the child within this realm.

The child was rescued by a man from this clan, their clan Chief. Immediately the child was brought here, I felt my master's aura on him. He was the one that I had been waiting for, all these years." The man kept quiet.

Long feng understood what the man was trying to say.

"Senior, my parents were... In danger?" He asked uneasily.

"No. You were in danger. With their strength, your parent could easily be among the strongest of the current era. Few would be as powerful as them even within the upper realms, especially your father. He could easily be the strongest person of his era, but he suppressed his cultivation, due to some reasons which you will learn of as you grow stronger" the man said.

Long feng was confused

"How was I in danger?" He asked

"Your birth triggered a great phenomenon, one which had never been seen. Many people didn't want you to grow, because you have the potential to be an overlord of an era. No one wanted that, so, Many people worked together to chase after your parent." The man replied.

Long feng nodded understandingly.

"Thank you senior" Long feng thanked.

"I am called Wu Kong or Heaven splitting sword. In short, call me Master. That was my master's wish before he left. For me to take his descendant as my disciple" the man slowly said.

Long feng's eyes brightened. If he could have such a strong person as his master, that would be amazing!

He hurriedly knelt on his right knee and bowed his head.

"Long feng pays his respect to master!" He exclaimed excitedly.

His master nodded.

Long feng stood up

"Master, are you really a sword?" He asked

"I am. The sword is me, and I am the sword" his master replied.

Long feng nodded, although he didn't understand.

"Master, what are the Dragons within me and the symbol on my forehead?" He asked again

"You aren't ready to know. When you are stronger, you will understand everything." His master replied

"Alright master. Final question. Who is your master and where did he went to?" Long feng asked again.

His master was silent for a while before gazing into the vast sky.

"He went somewhere he would never return from" he replied.

Long feng understood. He kept quiet and stared at his master's back....
