Chapter 7 - Choosing Path and a promise

45 day's after Kira's arrival, Kira's Cave residence

With arrival of Northern Winds, only respite remain was warmth provided by my small residence, new vines of deep red were planted for one week pay… still worth the cost.

"When the first light was born from [them] countless path stretching endlessly emerged drawing forth essence of Primordial, first mortal who obtained light was called Enlightened One, as Grandfather of Serpents granted him path and he was the one who reached end of it, unable to cultivate further he gave knowledge to heaven and earth with his 12 disciple he brought Golden Age."

"This is how I comprehended classification of path under Great Dao, just like how disciples choose different path but still came from light of Enlightened One"

"Now which path you like to walk on ?"

"Rule and strength path, master"

"HoHo, as expected now prepare for breakthrough"

'She left…. Hmmm so Red Primordial is also called Grandfather of Serpents, she told me not to utter their name even if Red Primordial itself not their name but why tho?'

After some time Kira took out his innate gu Void Heart Seed it resembles a pitch-black seed, size of an adult fist, on which depiction of a Golden Rose was engraved to such extreme degree it felt more alive than it's possessor. Two monarch butterfly of wings possessing will of their own yet they circled golden rose endlessly.

Like yin and yang, life and death, Creation and Destruction they circled golden rose. However Golden Rose remained indifferent to their fate.

I have confirmed that unlike normal gu innate gu can perform more than one function, master also said her innate gu,

Delirium Gu is the reason she found me but she did not elaborate on how….

My void heart seed has active ability locked, but still it boosts my mental and soul recovery passively the more I become indifferent more boost it provide but the problem comes once I find myself at extreme situation,

it's shell consume those emotions and memories hidden beneath is devoured resulting in production of pale golden light. I have experienced it two times….for now, first upon my arrival and the second I almost drowned in lake. It left me…

'Hollow'

'Master also told me when I breakthrough my body will transform to suit my essence…. What the fuck is Essence ? Why not soul does she not have soul in her world….. hmmmm a world without soul.'

'Also there is no point in seducing her even she finds pleasure in beating me to pulp,

one time my colleague who practice this craft told me about these insane bastards who either find pleasure in acts of violence performed on themselves or worse performed on us, poor fellow died to one, he died with smile on his face but I know better to not push my limit.'

'I choose rule path since it simple yet effective, covering its branches restrictions and phantom, it's use is close to universal. Also my innate gu seems to be of rule path.

Second, strength path even if it's in decline it will come in handy even if I am out of primeval essence, also my innate gu will provide great foundation for my soul and mind having stong body is necessary'

'Hmm, I will not abandon you, please God Emperor provide your divine protection to my family'

With that he spent whole night practicing control over primeval essence.

Northern winds blew indifferent to fates of human or alike.
