Chapter 2 - ARC 1.0

Ryse stood up to run, His hands and feet felt uncoordinated. The body was small and he had not gotten used to it yet. He tripped and fell, Unbalanced.

The beast had already gotten close, It's large mouth full of sharp fangs were headed straight for his head. Ryse clenched his hands a strong wind blew bringing with it the bone chilling coldness.

Ryse raised his hand slightly, Ready to attack when he heard whistling wind and saw a long sharp blade piercing the mouth of the beast all the way to the other side behind it's head. The beast let out a mourning cry and fell heavily. It was dead.

Ryse turned back immediately after and his hetero chrome eyes collided with the other's hetero chrome eyes. Both were startled at the same time.

Two exactly same faces and eyes stared at each other in shock. Ryse quickly recovered his expression and stood up.

The other side was a young boy wearing white colored robes his long silky black hair tied up neatly in a ponytail. He recovered from his shock and seemed to want to say something but held back.The young boy summoned his sword back and nodded to Ryse, He then turned and hurried away.

Ryse watched him until he disappeared before he relaxed and walked the opposite side of where the boy had gone.

Ryse arrived at a river moments later and crouched down. The person reflected in the water was very young at about the age of six. A pair of big different colored eyes stared back at him. The hair was also black and long going past his mid back.

They were dusty and tangled a little. the clothing was also very dirty covered with sand and mud. Small scratches were littered all over the tender face, hands and feet.

Ryse sat down and sensed his surroundings. It was safe, There was no danger within two miles radius. Ryse tapped his wrist lightly and Al shone a neon blue.

"Master i have received the information shall i send it now?"

"Yes" Ryse lowered his eyes ready to accept the world information and memories. The body was a child and was not able to withstand such a large amount of information. Ryse fell into a coma slowly accepting the memories.

[ Fang jing ci was a very lively child born in the family of cultivators. Although he wasn't much doted on he wasn't neglected either.He had six older brother and sisters he himself was a seventh child. On his fifth birthday his father took him to test his aptitudes.

The result was that he had no spirit roots and was unable to cultivate. This was a big disappointment for the Fang family who were one of the top cultivation families.

Because of this Fang jing ci was left in the mortal village. He was told to wait that they would pick him up after a while. But they never came the day turned to night and finally Fang jing ci felt fear.

It was dark there were strangers everywhere and his father and brother were not here to pick him up yet. But he still stood there waiting.

Until a group of men surrounded him their faces had strange expressions and they whispered to each other. They seemed to have decided something and one of them came over.

"child are you alone how about going with this uncle ah. I will buy you candy what do you say?"

Fang jing ci was panicking what should he do. He did not want to go with these scary people. And so.....He ran. He ran towards the forest outside the village. The men chased him cursing loudly at his back.

" Damn it!Get him! We must get him!"

He ran deep into the forest those men had stopped chasing him at some point but he did not stop, He kept running. Until there was a roar of a beast.

Fang jing ci who had never seen beasts before, Living in safety of his home, Was scared stiff. He saw the beast running towards him and was frozen with fear he couldn't even cry.

Just when he thought he will be eaten he was saved by a beautiful person. When his fear lessened he couldn't help crying. The beautiful person brought back to the village and bought a room in the hotel.

Fang jing ci fell asleep after crying. When he woke the person was gone . He ran out on his short legs trying to find him but failed. Instead he met those men again. Seeing them he immediately ran away, ending up in a forest again.

The night fell again and he hid in a tree hole crying softly. He fell asleep there and was found by an old alchemist who was going back with his basket of herbs. At some point he seemed to have rolled out of the tree.

The old man was shocked and quickly carried him up, He checked his pulse. Feeling he was still alive the old man breathed out a sigh in relief. And took him back to his bamboo house.

Fang jing ci since then started living with the alchemist and was taught alchemy. On his fourteenth birthday the old man died when his old illness relapsed.

Fng jing ci after his death left the forest and headed to the city towards the north. Living in the forest for nine years he already knew every part of the forest like the back of his hand.

But he did know the outside so when he entered the city he was spotted by strange people. Fang jing ci did not know he was followed by them.

Those strange group of people observed him for a few days before cornering him. They said something about reincarnation of something and started attacking him.

Fang jing ci was only a normal person and did not have the answer to what they wanted. The more he said he did not know the more he was tortured by them. In the end he died quite painfully.

He was still very relieved but he regretted not being able to fulfill his master's wish. The old man had wished to be buried in the lotus valley the most beautiful place near Dalan city.
