Chapter 1: A Fateful Birth
The night air in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was unusually still, as if the heavens themselves were holding their breath. Within the grand halls of the sect, a cry pierced the quiet—sharp, strong, and unwavering. Gu Tien had entered the world.
Even as a newborn, he was unlike any other child. A faint, silvery aura clung to him, subtle but undeniable. The first midwife to hold him recoiled slightly, noting the delicate curve of horns already forming upon his temples—a feature unseen in any other sect disciple. Yet, despite their strangeness, there was an elegance in their symmetry, a natural perfection that seemed… otherworldly.
"He's… extraordinary," whispered Elder Liang, his voice trembling with awe. "I have seen countless Spirit Masters in my lifetime, but never one born with such a body."
Gu Tien's mother, her eyes bright with unshed tears, cradled him tenderly. "He is our grandson… the heir of our lineage. Let him grow strong, but also… let him remain himself."
Across the hall, another newborn wailed, smaller and softer in tone. Ning Rongrong had also arrived this night, her cries delicate yet insistent. Her parents, prominent members of the sect, exchanged glances, realizing immediately that these two children would be forever bound—not just by the fate of the sect, but by the currents of destiny itself.
As the days passed, Gu Tien grew quickly. His body adapted with startling efficiency to food, sleep, and the slightest challenges his caregivers offered. By the time he could crawl, the faint hum of innate energy emanated from him, enough to make the mats in his playroom ripple slightly when he moved too suddenly. Elder Liang often remarked, "Even at this age, he is aware… almost aware of himself in the energy around him. This is no ordinary child."
And Ning Rongrong, born the same day, was never far. She observed him with curious eyes, small hands always reaching toward his presence. Even as infants, they responded to each other instinctively, laughter and coos mingling like music. While the other children of the sect played at simple games, these two seemed to understand a rhythm beyond their years, a silent connection that hinted at the destiny their elders often whispered about in reverent tones.
By the time Gu Tien could stand, his horns were more pronounced, delicate spirals of ivory curling gently from his head. The other children avoided him, sometimes frightened, sometimes fascinated. But Ning Rongrong never faltered. She would reach out, tugging at his tiny fingers, whispering little songs that made his aura settle into gentle pulses.
"Tien…" she would murmur in her soft baby voice, "play with me."
And he always did. Even before he fully understood his powers, he instinctively protected her, guiding her small hands away from danger, drawing on an energy he barely comprehended. The elders watching from the shadows exchanged quiet murmurs. "He is… more than a child," one would say. "And yet, she… she will be his anchor."
Months turned into years, and the first hints of their Spirit Powers began to awaken. Ning Rongrong's aura shimmered in delicate patterns, intuitive and flowing. Gu Tien's presence, however, was different. His energy was precise, innate, almost perfect—a natural reflection of his Otsutsuki body. When he cried, the mats vibrated slightly. When he laughed, the air seemed lighter. It was a subtle chaos that hinted at the immense potential within him.
Even in these early years, the bond between them was undeniable. The elders, though cautious, allowed them moments together, watching quietly as Gu Tien instinctively shielded Ning Rongrong from falls, from small accidents, from other children's rough games. He was not yet a Spirit Master, not yet trained, but already he understood purpose and protection in a way that surpassed his age.
On a quiet afternoon, as cherry blossoms fell outside the sect halls, Gu Tien crawled over to Ning Rongrong, who was seated amidst the petals. He reached out a tiny hand, brushing a blossom from her hair. She giggled, clapping her hands, and leaned against him. Elder Liang, observing from a balcony above, whispered, "The future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect… begins here."
And so, from the very beginning, Gu Tien and Ning Rongrong were entwined—not merely by fate, but by the quiet resonance of energy and bond that no other could touch. One carried the perfection of a body from another world, Otsutsuki-born and destined for greatness. The other was his counterpart, delicate yet unwavering, the anchor to his vast, untapped potential. Together, they would grow, face the trials of the Spirit Master world, and ultimately, carve paths that no one could foresee.
