A Journey That Is Long or Short Can Still Change Fate

There Journey back to the palace will take at least 10 days but Ivor didn't mind, he enjoyed hearing other people talk, he enjoyed the singing of birds, he enjoyed the views he has been seeing.

Ivor had his eyes closed while Nellie followed others, Ivor wasn't cultivating but instead, he was having a break.

"Minister Zuo, not long from here can we stop by a graveyard?" Asked Ivor.

"What graveyard?" Asked Minister Zuo.

"Just follow me." Once again Ivor did what he felt and walked towards the forest. All the soldiers were confused but chased Ivor quickly."

"Elder Ivor, Please stop..."

And Ivor did stop, he stopped in front of a big graveyard that had vines and trees grown around.

"This... Elder... is this the grave... THAT'S YELLOW WOOD?" Shouted Minister Zuo but Ivor used his cultivation to shut everyone up.

"I am sorry... Till next time." Ivor's mood became a bit solemn but he moved on a headed back to Nellie.

All the soldiers were a bit confused but left it, everyone has a history.

5 days past and Ivor had been silent but the rest of the soldiers just chatted away, a few merchants did by pass but they moved to the side giving way to the soldiers.

Ivor started to hear running in the forest... a cry of help. He quickly used his divine sense and saw a middle-aged man fighting 3 people at once while a middle-aged woman was running away with an infant in her arms and 2 men dressed in black chasing her.

Ivor quickly disappeared but he was too late, the man got his head chopped off while the 2 out of 3 cultivators died. Ivor quickly killed the third and chased the woman but the woman had killed off the 2 chasers, unfortunately, she had a sword stuck through her heart and he was being held into the tree with the sword.

Ivor was about to let the woman down but her weight pulled her down which cut her shoulder in half and she died on the spot, Ivor noticed the infant a picked it up.

"Young one, I could not save your family but this might be our fate, now let's return."

Ivor suddenly returned to Nellie and Minister Zuo hadn't even noticed.

"Minister Zuo, Look... she will be my disciple named Ai." said Ivor

But Minister Zuo was confused, where did this baby come from... "Elder Ivor... where does this is infant come from?"

"oh, her parents just died about 2 miles in the forest from here, I was too late but I've got a disciple." Ivor was smiling, he thought about it and he could have a disciple.

"WHAT?... General, you heard him go quick." Minister Zuo commanded and Zuo started to think this man was mentally ill.

5 days later, Ivor and the rest reached the Capital but he was the centre of attention since he was riding an elephant that's skin was actual fire and water which was since Ivor wasn't wet or burning.

A man dressed in dark clothes suddenly said "This Elephant's skin must be worth a lot." Just as this man said these words Ivor felt the Intent.

He sent a divine sense warning the person and he was scared out of his wits that he pissed himself.

"Elder Ivor, we will enter the palace in a few hours in the meanwhile you can stay in this house."

"Sure."

Ivor settled down and began to take care of Ai, he had gotten some milk from Minister Zuo.

Ivor then started to create a pram and of course, as he is it was just a 5th-grade pram since he only had few hours to do so. It was made out of quality spiritual wood making extremely study and he used eagle feathers to make covers and pillows for her.

A few hours later a soldier escorted him and Ai to the palace.

The Palace doors were opened, the doors were at least 30 meters high and 15 meters wide.

Every minister including the emperor looked at the door... There was an old man pushing a pram and a small elephant walk in, suddenly the elephant started to run about the palace looking at everything while Ivor was slowly still walking in.

The Emperor did nothing because he instantly felt the elephants cultivation and did not feel Ivor's which made him feel weary and awkward at the same time.

Suddenly the emperor gave a cough which averted everyone's attention.

"Kneel to the Emperor of Azure Empire!" Shouted an Emperor's guard.

Every minister and soldier kneeled down except Ivor.

"Why are you not kneeling?!" said the Emperor's guard in anger.

"Why should I? he is just a guy." answered Ivor Blatantly.

Every person had the same thought "A GUY?! is he mad?"

"You dare!"

"Oh, shut up." and Ivor shut the guard mouth with a seal.

Then Ivor Pulled out a 5th-grade wooden chair and sat on it.

"So, what do you want to chat about?" Asked Ivor.

"aren't you a little bold old man?" asked the emperor.

"A little but what can you do." Ivor was bold but he was annoyed having people right outside his door.

"A lot." Answered the emperor.

"With you meagre strength of a middle-Soul Intent stage."

"We have Soul transformation realms."

"I know, I sensed them they are all too weak."

The emperor hesitated for a second, this man was not weak.

"Then may ask your realm?"

"Large World."

Everyone once again thought the same... Oh shit.

"Are you sure that's enough?" asked the emperor

"Pfft... I am smith, I have weapons." Ivor bragged a little.

Some ministers started to think of what is this man.

"To the topic, why are my people dead?"

"Their fault, would you enjoy people gathering outside your door and not stop knocking, disturbing our peace?" answered Ivor.

"Our?..." the emperor took this out of the sentence, this meant he wasn't alone in there.

"Very well, you are free to go."

"I don't like you, you know." said Ivor, he had become very annoyed by this man, he felt like this man was too arrogant.

The emperor was holding in his anger but Ivor already left with everyone and left the capital to continue his journey while everyone else was sitting in the hall still kneeling down.

"BASTARD!" yelled the emperor.

Everyone was shaken but stayed quiet.

Outside the Capital, Ivor sat on Nellie and held Ai giving her lessons, she wasn't even a month old but Ivor thought learning earlier the better and he chose to talk about Formation.

Two years had passed and Ivor had been to many villages and towns while Ai had reached 5th stage Qi cultivation, but Ivor noticed a problem... she was so energetic making it hard to teach her.
