3 - Royal Capital and the Disciple of a King Ranked Being.

On the main road to the capital, a young man could be seen walking but no one dared to approach him as his aura was cold and unwelcoming and those would looked at his silk robes which were common but on him looked divine, they knew that his cultivation was not something they could rival against. Yes the young man is James McFallen who got these clothes from a bandits hideout and after exterminating them and taking their entire loot and freeing the slaves. He had truly become a powerhouse and he knew that his strength was a testimony to his hardworking and strong willpower.

During those 3 years of training he had truly matured into a handsome yet deadly rose. His hair for some profound reason had started gaining after purple hues in it and was straight and flowing down to his back and his sea blue eyes had a mesmerizing effect on others who stared too deeply into them and his entire body structure could only be classified as one word: perfect. He had highly compacted muscles and had a swimmers physique with 8 abs.

Upon reaching the gates, he by passed the line and continued walking whilst some started stirring up trouble.
"Hey, why is he allowed to cut the line?" One random guy lamented as people around him started grumbling but wanted to see what the guards would do.

When he got to the front the guards checked him and after seeing his cultivation level, they immediately bowed and let him pass through without having to pay. And the rest of the crowd became extremely silent as they knew what that meant. Only this Tier 4 and above could pass without paying the gate fee. And the man who spoke immediately thought of suiciding because if that Lord Ranker wanted revenge then his entire family would perish and no one would say a thing about it.

James, however, did not particularly care and continued walking in the direction of the castle where his teacher told him to come to when he was ready and willing. After walking for a while he appeared infant of the castle guards who looked at him with a curious glance as not many would come to the castle and those that did were strong people. They immediately sent for their captain so that they would not offend this young person if he turns out to be a very strong person. Soon the captain of the guard, Eric Battleborn arrived and surveyed the young man and was shocked when he realized that they had the same cultivation level. One should know that he is a Tier 6 powerhouse yet this youngster rivaled his cultivation easily. This made him slightly curious as to why a Lord would come to the castle.

"Hello, young Lord, My name is Eric Battleborn, commander of the imperial army and a General under the king. May I please know what you want from here?"

Without a word, James took out a plaque and gave it to Eric saying, "Give this to the Ancestor, Former King Axel Fieryson and tell him I have finally arrived and that the dawn approaches."
Eric nodded and left whilst James particularly did not care nor mind and just waited whilst allowing his body to attune itself to the space around him, making himself more hidden and mysterious as space was a very rare element that could help one grow stronger and also one of the hardest to learn and familiarize oneself with. It could be the most powerful in attack or in defense or most used in escape and movements.

As he stood there and got lost in his thoughts, his face never changed from his impassive one. He felt Eric returning, he quietly got out of that sate and awaited for the news he asked for. Eric stood in front of the mysterious youth and was shocked to see that the Ancestor was happy to hear that a youth was looking for him and after seeing the wooden log with the word worthy on it asked the youth to be brought to him immediately.
"The Ancestor wishes that you be brought to him."
"Fine by me." His voice had grown immensely deep and yet soft and when he spoke the people around felt the qi vibrate in rhythm to his speech showing his profound knowledge on the Dao.

They left and walked into the deeper parts of the castle, where The kingdoms Ancestral Guardian resides. After awhile they branched out from the castle and arrived in a courtyard of sorts and there a small hut was beside and beautiful sparkling pond that had multicolored koi fish swimming playfully in it. And there were also some sakura trees around the yard that gave it a very peaceful and serene feeling and that was calming and comforting to all who stepped foot into the yard.

Upon reaching Eric took his leave as he had done his job in escorting the young lord to the Ancestors residence. James smiled and spoke softly,"Old man stop hiding your presence as I can still sense you and although I cannot tell your cultivation I can tell when a person has their sights on me." Once he spoke a chuckle spread throughout the courtyard carrying a hint of grandeur yet still had a calming effect further increasing the calm and composed aura of the courtyard. And an old man appeared in front of James smiling as he looked at the young boy he met that had grown up quite fast yet had grown incredibly stronger and the aura around him showed that he had gone through some combat battles to get here as he had the beginning of the formation of killing intent on him.

The old man smiled knowing that the talent he had chosen had not let him down as he knew that he was not even 20 and yet had entered the lord ranks, although a star lord, but still a lord after all. He knew that the people of his kingdom who taught themselves strong were just frogs in a well as they had not seen stronger kingdoms or cultivations other than lord ranks. But looking at the child in front of him whose talent he had seen was able to rival the genius of the sect he belonged to. He knew after nurturing him with good techniques and leading him on the right path he would get an absolute prodigy.

"So Michael, you have finally come."
"Sorry old man I was disowned from my family so I changed my name and decided on a new clan. Now I am known as James McFall."
"Why did they disown you?"
"After awakening I had the ability of telekinesis and therefore they just put under my talent as a weak one without testing but they also got my ability way undermined."
"How so?"
"You see, telekinesis is the strongest ability to get and nurture but they do not know how to and therefore they claim it to be the weakest of all the abilities. But I found out how to strengthen it and because of my talent I have been using the basic manual that I somewhat modified to suit me and my ability and that made it stronger than everything. And since the manual was made to cater for my body in specific I shall be the only one to be able to utilize this manual to its peak form but others would be able to use it to its half capacity and that alone is a b rank cultivation manual."

Hearing that he reached the lord rank by using a cultivation technique he modified by himself made the old man smile and thought happily that he had truly found a gem in the rough. Contrary to popular belief that cultivation manuals were to be follow to the letter and the extreme, masters who write them just want the young ones to learn that they must customize the technique to fit them themselves so that they will have better and easier cultivation paths but they rather blindly follow these techniques thinking that its perfect. Looking at someone who he had taken as his personal disciple, he knew that if he gave him the epic ranked manual that he was currently using and he somehow managed to upgrade it further then even the branch of the sect he was from would send him to the main branch for proper nurturing.

Then the ancestor spoke,"Well, since you're here means that you have accepted and have finally become my disciple I'll give you a technique that I reserved just for your talent and if you mange to increase its rank, then not even I will have the right to be teacher anymore in terms of cultivation. It is a rare manual called Star War Lord and its an extremely powerful technique found in some ruins by my master who was an elder of the Star God Sect. Now I practice Star Fire Technique but I could guide you in cultivation for now but I advise you to finish the Lord rank and enter core forming to start using this technique and then will your talent truly soar high above all."
"Thank you Master, please would you give me the manual so I could start the alteration and then when I reach Tier 10 then I'll start practicing it."
"Here you are. Be careful and don't let others know that you are practicing this manual. I've made arrangements and there is a small building behind this that belongs to you and you'll be able to come to me for anything related to your cultivation. As you already have battle experience, I'll only let you leave here after you are at the peak of the core forming realm and are about to enter the Baron realm."

The old man threw him a book that looked worn out and a bit faded. On it was the word star that had the empheral feeling of the stars in the night sky that he was fond of constantly gazing at. He knew that after this bodies parents abandoned him, the former had taken to lying down in a secluded meadow and feel as though the stars were his mothers arms and they were wrapped around him in comfort. He knew that his body had a special constitution that helped him absorb more energy especially on a starry night. After getting the book he entered the hut that was prepared for him and allowed Linda to absorb the book whilst he started cultivating to reach the core forming realm quickly so that he can start his true cultivation.
