The Tale Of The Blissful Village

"So that's how it is. It is alright. Even though I don't know about the story. I had to tell you that this is the story something that was passed on as the legendary tales from our ancestors. We don't know the authenticity of this story." ,Assane said beforehand.

"It's alright. Something is better than nothing. I just want to know the reason behind the pressure that I felt earlier. Because it almost killed me. Even if what you said is not true, I won't feel bad about it. So please tell me what you know." ,Ethan said nonchalantly.

"If that is the case, then I will tell you what ever I know." ,Assane took a deep breath and started narrating the story, "A very very very long time ago, a person and his family lived at this place. Of course, his family was not the only one that lived here. There were many houses and families lived here. At that time, this place and the surrounding area were occupied by the mortals. It wasn't suited for the legendary cultivators."

Assane continued, "One day, the sky started to behave strangely. Unexpected rains started to shiver at a rapid pace. Huge amount of lightning bolts almost touched the ground. Under the wrath of the heaven, most of the village were destroyed. As everyone were living in fear and waiting for any unexpected disasters, a strange golden light fell near the house of that family."

Assane continued, "For a very long time, no one dared to go near that golden light. But the elder of that family built up enough courage and went towards that golden light. What he found truly terrified him. Within that faint golden light, he found a person. Without any delay, that elder brought that person bribe in the golden light into his home and treated his wounds."

Assane continued, "That person in the world and light finally opened his eyes. He looked at all the bandages on his body. He then looked at that elder and immediately understood that that elder actually tried his best to treat his wounds sincerely. But that person in the golden light shook his head and replied that his attempts were fertile. His injuries were beyond a mortal's medical skills comprehension level. That person in Golden light said that he will die very soon."

Assane continued, "But that person in golden light was actually impressed with the selfless medical service of that elder. With that person's last spark of remaining life, he turned this and the many places around the village into the paradise for cultivation. He also bestowed on our ancestors with many cultivation manuals. That earlier was elated. In fact, all our ancestors were elated. Who don't want to live long by becoming the cultivator? So our ancestors were really very happy."

Assane became serious as he continued, "Where is on that person in the golden light left the elder's house and went towards that nearest mountain. And then, nobody had seen that person in Golden light anymore. All their ancestors believed that that person golden light has passed away."

He sighed and continued, "All our ancestors started to cultivate diligently using the techniques left behind by that person in golden light. But before even they could touch the foundations of the five division, a disaster fell on them. A huge amount of powerful cultivators came from nowhere and destroyed the village. Every person in the village were being killed by those powerful cultivators. Our ancestors didn't take it long to understand that this land was now a cultivation paradise. How could it not attract the attention of the powerful cultivators?"

Assane continued, "As everyone were being slaughtered mercilessly, the mountain where that person in the golden light left started to glow with golden radiance. A pair of giant eyes with countless stars appeared on the sky. The giant image of that person with the Golden light appeared on the sky. All our ancestors were elated. But they were scared at the same time. After all, they had seen the kind side of that person in the Golden light. But this time, his face was not only large, but it was full of anger. Under the pair of bloodshot eyes, all the invaded cultivators were killed mercilessly. Thousands of bodies were lying on the ground. The entire village was filled with the sea of blood. Some of the weak willed ancestors lost their consciousness on the spot seeing this terrifying scene."

Ethan became serious. When he was attacked by the Spirit God, Ethan had seen thousands of dead bodies on the ground. Could those dead bodies belongs to those cultivators?

As he was lost in his thoughts, Assane continued, "As the bloodbath completed, the person in the golden light apologised to the entire village. The ancestors didn't blame the person in the golden light though. After all, everything was unexpected even for them. But our ancestors had enough of this cultivation dream. They had seen enough blood to terrify them. So they requested the person in the golden light to take back the cultivation manuals given to them. They just wanted to live the life of a simple mortal."

Assane continued, "That person in the Golden light immediately agreed with the ancestors request and took back all the cultivation manuals and resources given to them by him earlier. But he said that he is already dead. But his spirit remained. So he will use his remaining spirit power to create a barrier around the entire village. He will also take back as much spiritual energy he brought to our village as possible. Any cultivator entered this place will be killed by that person in the Golden light."

Assane sighed and continued, "As time flew and many generations passed, the legend became more and more like a bed time story. The new generations started to treat it like a made up story instead of taking it as a fact that truly happened. If it wasn't for the abundant amount of fresh energy here and the fact that no cultivators came here to disturb us, maybe people would have forgotten about this story."

Ethan remained silent. He was sure that that person in the Golden light is none other than the Spirit God. He believed that this story is definitely true. But the only question is, why exactly he is fine despite being in the village for such a long time? The Spirit God attacked him, right? Then why was he still alive?

Could it be, I am poisoned? Could it be, I will die a slow death? When this thought came to his mind, Ethan was a little scared. In order to verify it, he immediately activated the [Heavenly Gaze] and started to inspect his body.

"What the hell is this?", "Ethan finally found something and was immediately tensed up.
