old man "so what happened to that immortal? "
"tian hao right? hmph, heavens dared to stop him from reviving his loved ones. with a spear in his hand, his disciples and followers as his force, he willed and dared to fight the heavens, the stars shattered planets trembled heavens roared but the battle did not stop for thousands of years. the heaven's sovereign died and the heavens mourned the stars did not dare shine the waters did not dare flow the wind stilled it's motion the flowers did not bloom. it was utter darkness. no star no immortal dared to oppose this mourn.. but alas. the heavens fell. the celestial replaced the heavens and changed it's rules but ultimately he was unable revive his wife." the old man sighed.
"stop lying? if he is that powerful how can he not revive his wife?" the boy asked.
"alright the story ends here, everybody comeback tomorrow.... hahaha thank you thank you..." the old man left.
the little boy was wondering if he become like the man in the story but even if he did, the man's dream remained a dream. he did not like this story.
the boy decided he wants to be an immortal roaming through heavens splitting the mountains cleaving the waters and to become the most powerful immortal. he did not know how silly his dream was or how hard it was but hardship would not let him down. he knew that probably immortals did not exist but what if they do.., he would try his everything to find those immortals and become one. he would study hard and become an investigation censor a part of the chief surveillance bureau. also he would learn everything he heard of the hardships that celestial suffered and many near death experiences made him give great importance to survival.
ten years later, the boy grew up he is now 22 years old. he sat under a tree looking at a lake. "tian hao, you know you will never make it to the bureau. you have to learn from others like me. bribing is the only way" shen han advised.
"hmph, i failed the imperial exams for four years and i know i did not make a single mistake. all this study, for what?. hah, this corrupted world is drowning my dreams. ahh, i have to go study medicine from that crazy women bye". he thought i have been training martial arts myself i have to find a teacher, tian hao left.
"hey, let me tell you that imperial advicer song luo is really a good person. it's only a thousand gold you can earn it back." as tian hao disappeared into the distance. shen han frowned " he really is a good child but alas, the world is wicked and one has adapt into that world. but let's see if he can really become an investigation censor without being corrupted. hah, too innocent".
"tian hao think, there must be a way i just have make it big that even king himself hears of it. you prided yourself as the most knowledgeful person int the song dynasty think.. think..., it seems like this would work but it would take too long" he made his plan.
i have to make that hermit long hao teach me martial arts. i heard he loves simplicity and that he lest the martial world 20 years ago and undefeated weiqi master. if i can find and defeat him... for that i have to learn weiqi first and this martial master i found isn't bad either, although my family is not rich it's not poor either i sold all my inheritance but it will never be enough.
twenty two years later, i have my own force now and those trained martial artists along with those training the hermit long hao we have solved 134 criminal cases and 62 missing cases 202 miscellaneous cases pursued by imperial army always on the run but our fames spread throughout the song(eastern) and wan(southern) dynasties and with me as the strategist coercing thousands with an unstoppable momentum. the emperor song finally made a treaty to let me take over minster of justice. i have become much more cautious now falling under many schemes and betrayals barely surviving. sigh, at least a thousand casualties. it's been so hard to make those barbarian tribes unify and countering song and wan alliance. i will never be fooled again i will xing shui to take that minster of justice position and send those scrolls about history and records of missing persons or mysterious phenomenon's around the world. i have my men to li(western) and qi(northern).
i came to a conclusion if immortals do exist, where does new immortals emerge from, are born like mortals from immortals or do they come from mortals. if so, why did i never come across a record of immortals descending to pick up mortals. do immortals concealed themselves? do they exist? i went to li dynasty to zheng family that claimed to gave birth to a immortal a 400 years ago they are apparently rich because of their ancestor or so they say. but this event is very suspicious they became rich over the course of a year they found veins after veins of gold mines but after such an incredible event they did not die from other forces rather it is these other forces that mysteriously lost their leaders, heads and sect masters.
anyways, once i collect those scrolls i will visit the demon heart abyss that separates the north from south and that 98 mountain peaks from qi dynasty and enter the end of this world world's edge mystic heaven ocean and probably leave this world.
