Were You Aware, Vessel Born
1551 Words
One and a half months have passed and the time for the Heaven Class competition was to commence in only two weeks. At this moment, Thunder Cry city was jam pack with people from all walks of life. The members of the Lou Zen Clan, Dark Tree Faction, Wild Lands, Leveling Earth Sect, Lightning Thunder Sect, Wun Clan, and even other members of the Flying Sword Sect had arrived.
All of the Inns were full and the martial fields for training were all occupied. Wild cultivators and Mages had also come and though they couldn't take part, they could at least watch the fun. The atmosphere was lively, the many shops were full of buying customers of pills, weapons and delicious food and good wine.
But mixed within all the liveliness, a cold atmosphere also blew. Everyone was also tensed, the balance between the powers had been broken and it was all due to an unknown figure that many were now talking about. It was said that his battle powers were great to the point of being scary; he could easily defeat all others at and above his level.
"Did you hear, there saying that a boy within the Flying Sword Sect that's in the earth realm can fight against Spirit Awakening? How frightening" in a bar, a young mage was sitting and drinking with three of his friends while retelling the stories he had heard.
"I don't know if it's true or not. The potential and battle powers of a person would have to be world-class just to jump stages and fight. Much fewer jump realms, I just don't know if it's true or not" another of the youth's friends said with some doubt in his voice.
"It might be true, the geniuses of the sects aren't saying much. They aren't even refuting the stories" the young mage said as he took another drink.
Sitting in his blue robes and wearing a large bamboo hat, Jia Lin took a drink as he listens to the many stories that were being talked about in the bar. He was a part of the many stories, it was a good thing that not many people knew his name or face, or that would've spelled trouble for him.
"They're talking about you again" Zin Len giggled from the side while covering her mouth.
"This is really unexpected" Ken Shar commented while eating some Spirit grass, meat, and drinking wine.
"I knew this would happen. The best thing is that no one knows me" Jia Lin replied to both of them.
Ken Shar, Buo Wun and the others all stayed at Jia Lin's table, no one knew their faces, so it was relatively safe for them to go out in public. If they were to wear their Asura masks, then that would once again spell trouble for them.
One had to remember that Jia Lin's actual age in this life was only that of a 17-year-old teenager. But the battle powers he possessed was something never seen before, not even for tens of thousands of years. After Sky Sword informed the patriarch of the Flying Sword Sect with regards to Jia Lin's matter, he immediately sent a message report to the War Sect.
"Senior Sky Sword went out to a meeting of kings for the Heaven Class competition. The heads of the four major powers are going to be there as well" Ken Shar was well informed with regards to all the matters that were happening within Thunder Cry city. It wasn't only him, but Nix and the others knew a few info as well.
"That is well within expectations; the key to opening the Dark Abyss mystic realm can only be opened by the four heads of Lion Paw Empire. The Lion royal family doesn't care about the Dark Abyss mystic realm that much, because they have the True Life Mystic Realm." with only a few words, Jia Lin had left the minds of everyone present blank.
This was because although they knew of the matter of the Dark Abyss opening and also of the fact that it needed the power of the four major powers to open it, what they never knew about was the matter relating to the royal family.
As a matter of fact, not many knew about the Lion Paw royal family. Much less the True Life Mystic realm that was only accessible by them and them alone.
"True Life mystic realm" Ken Shar wanted to know more, in fact, he wanted to know all he could about both the happenings with the city and out. The facial expression he had said it all but Jia Lin couldn't explain all of this at the moment. This was because Sky Sword's right-hand man had walked into the bar, which caused many to stop and look.
This man was an old man that was at the late stages of the Spirit Awakening realm, his aura and momentum were like a Roaring ocean. His eyes were sharp like a sword and though he walked extremely slowly, each step he took was sharp and steady.
"Junior Lin, reporting on the behalf of elder Sky Sword. There is a controversy with regards to you participating in the Heaven's Class competition. The powers that have seen you battle your phantom images are saying that you are too strong to enter and you entering wouldn't have any meaning or benefits, but the young geniuses who haven't seen you fight are saying that they want you to participate. This is because they don't believe the things that the elders are saying, this is mostly due to them not seeing you battle"
The old man reported in one breath. The matter of the Heaven's Class competition was very important to the Flying Sword Sect and even though they had Yen Tin as their Heaven Class chosen, with Jia Lin present, their spot with regards to how many people they would be allowed to enter the mystic realm would be higher than high.
It was exactly because of this reason that many of the major powers King realm masters warned their respective heads, of not letting him participate. They would form the start to be at a disadvantage.
"This too is within reason" Jia Lin took up a cup of wine as he drank his fill. Afterward, he motioned with a hand for the old man to take a seat in one of the chairs at his table.
Jia Lin was very experienced when it came to drawing in supporters. One had to remember that Jia Lin had once lived for hundreds of years as an Immortal, the only thing was, no one knew.
"You seem well-informed senior. Mind telling me where the Heaven's class competition will be held?" Jia Lin passed a cup to the old man, while Chen Tan filled it.
The old man took the cup of wine and downed it in one go. One could see that he was a lover of wine and would always welcome good wine.
"A lover of good wine is always of friend of mine" Jia Lin stated with a smile and although his face looked young, he had an air of maturity that no one could refute.
"We cultivators and Mages must always stop to enjoy the fine things in life." the old ma smiled as he placed down his cup. He then continued, "The Heaven's Class competition will be held outside of Dark Moon Rock. This is also the entrance to the Dark Abyss mystic realm, this place is also where senor Sky Sword and the others are all gathered. The patriarch and others are in a meeting with regards to your participation"
Once one made a friend over some good wine, all information can come easy. This was one of the great advantages/benefits that Jia Lin had learned through his travels.
"Dark Moon Rock huh" Jia Lin held his chin while looking at the others.

Hidden Valley Mystic Realm, the War Sect
10,000 meters in the sky, a massive Heavenly palace could be seen floating. The palace was made out of fine Jade and not even king realm experts could shake the walls of this Jade palace, even if they used all of their strengths, it still would shake in the least.
Inside the palace, 56 elders could be seen floating in mid-air. Their aura was strong and could overturn mountains and valleys, they all had cultivation bases at the king's realm and what was even more shocking and frightening was that in addition to the 56 kings realm elders, there were 4 Soul Creation Realm old men and woman floating before the 56 kings realm experts.
The aura they released was thundering, it was like the raging storm, a hurricane on a calm day, an earthquake on a small island. Around their bodies, Immortal Qi swirled up and down like a kungpeng jumping out of the great sea and into the massive and endless skies.
"Wong Gi, the boy that was placed under your watched, he has shown tremendous improvements." at this moment, an old woman spoke which caused the air to twist. This old woman was one of the 4 four Soul Creation Realm experts of the War Sect.
"Yes Master. This old man is aware" Wong Gi bowed his head.
"But were you aware that he was a Vessel born?" the person who asked this time was an old man with three eyes. Also one of the Creation Realm experts
