" where i am?" Feng asked as he found himself in the middle of an unfamiliar room.
He was not alone, there were other people, at least twenties of them, young, old, men and women.
They were all dressed in ancient clothing and had solemn expressions as they discussed something.
" It seems like a dream".
Feng soon noticed that none of the people in the room was reacting to them.
After hesitating for some time, he finally made up his mind and tried to touch someone, only for his hands to go through the person.
" I remember that I was pursued by Death grip man. Later we were all attacked by a group of strange monsters..." The garish scene was still fresh inside his mind.
The people inside the room were all talking in an unfamiliar language. For a strange reason, Feng could understand them clearly.
The door of the room suddenly opened and a group of armored men entered. Leading them, was a man in a robe that seemed made in golden silk with an elegant aura.
" What is your decision? I sincerely hope that the Feng clan matriarch will act wisely" the man said haughtily while looking at someone.
It was an elderly woman, with silver hair. All the members of the clan were looking at her solemnly, awaiting her decision. Feb had never seen the woman, but for some reason, he knew that she was Feng Lan, the Feng clan matriarch.
The Feng matriarch remained silent for a while.
" How can the emperor ask this" she muttered while growing. No one but Feng seemed to hear what she said.
" Feng matriarch! Do not waste my time. Obey the edict of the emperor of all your clan will be distinguished today" the Golden robed man roared and the armored man behind him started to walk forward menacingly after brandishing their weapon.
" Feng Ji is not here anymore. He fled long ago and we were unable to stop him" the woman said as her shoulder dropped.
Hearing her, the golden-robed man started to laugh. Soon his laughter filled the room.
" I see! So Feng Clan thinks that it is above the law, the country, and the emperor, refusing to five the criminal that the emperor asked? In this case, the Feng clan does not need to exist anymore" the man said.
With a wave of his hands, the armored men attacked. They were not fighting like human beings at all. They could send waves out of their swords that will cut stone like tofu.
All of this seemed like a scene, out of a king of fighter movie.
Soon Blood was flowing in the room and limbs were sent flying.
Scared, Feng intended to flee through the door only to discover that he was incapable to do so.
There was something akin to an abyss behind the door. It was so scary that Feng did not dare to enter it. Feng could only watch powerlessly as everything unfolded in the room.
He could only calm himself when a sword passed through him, only to go through without causing any pain.
" I did not feel anything " Feng sighed in relief.
" How can The emperor do something like that?" A Feng clan member asked with a sorrow full voice.
" We were the one, who repelled the fiend from the abyss, we were the one who stopped the heavenly calamity..." A member of the Feng clan said before having his head cut.
" Feng Ji, that bastard everything happened because of him" someone yelled.
" what Feng Ji? You do not realize that the emperor was only searching for an excuse. He would have used a Feng Yu or a Feng Chen" an elderly man said.
" the heaven is merciless, the Feng clan sacrificed so much for this world and this is how we are rewarded," someone asked while fighting for his life.
" by stopping the heavenly calamity, the Feng Clan went again the heaven. NNaturaly heaven will punish else. When we stopped the heavenly calamity, we lost all our power and all our formations array stopped working..."
The massacre continued. It was not that the member of the Feng clan was too weak. But none of them were as powerful as the armored guard of the emperor.
" In the end, I still could not let you leave. I am sorry..." These were the last word of the Feng clan matriarch before dying.
" search every corner of the Feng family land, Kill everyone, child, women or servant. This is a great day for our dynasty. With the Heavenly calamity gone, we do not have to fear the Cultivator families anymore" the golden-robed man said before laughing.
He looked around, posing for some time to look at the corner where Feng was.
Feng could not go outside the room. When there was no one else alive in the room, he decided to move around the room.
" I still do not understand everything. But the member of the Feng clan is likely to be my ancestors" Feng concluded.
Thinking about this, he could not help but feel sad and angry at the same time.
Some hours, later the golden-robed man entered the room once again and looked around.
" There is something strange with this place. destroy everything. I want this plan burned to the ground" the man said.
Feng was terrified.
" Did he discover me?"
Soon the place was destroyed and Feng felt strange as he looked at the fire that was surrounding him.
The world around Feng started to get blurry and when he opened his eyes, he was in the middle of a familiar room.
Feng was still trying to understand how much time has passed there when he suddenly heard a sound coming from behind him.
" What is this thing?"
Feng quickly stepped away while looking at the strange patterned circle that had appeared on the ground.
The pattern started to glow and the next moment the ground in the circle started to crumble outward.
A coffin emerged from the ground. It was also covered by a strange glowing inscription.
The coffin opened on its own, and from inside, someone crawled out before falling to its knees.
It was a young boy that could not be more than 14 years old. He was also the Matriarch'S Son, Feng Ji. There were tears on his face and he seemed to have difficulty breathing. It took him some time to adapt but at least he was alive.
Feng also recognized the pendant around, Feng Jim's neck as it was too similar to his own.
" so he is my ancestor"
The scenery continued to change. Feng Jie left his family's land and started to roam the kingdom under a false name.
He met many strange creatures, among which was the monster that had almost killed Feng.
Feng Jie despite being younger knew some martial arts so he was able to get rid of these creatures with some difficulties.
" Even though the heavenly calamity was stopped, it will take some time for these creatures to disappear. The energy that leaked is enough for the practitioner's family to exist for another century. After that, they will get only weaker. The art of formation of my Feng Family is now useless" Feng Ji explained as if he knew that someone was listening.
Feng looked at the new scenery that had appeared. Feng Ji was at the summit of a mountain, looking at the rising Sun when his eyes started to glow.
" I was wrong!" Feng Ji muttered.
" what is a formation. A formation is an order of nature. It is the way that nature itself flows. Earth rotates around an axis so the sun will rise in the east forming a circle of day and night. Earth revolves around the Sun giving birth to the seasons. It is the same for the moon, for life and death"
" the art of formation does not solely depend on the heavenly calamity. It is possible to create a formation that does not rely on mystic energy but purely on natural circulation.
I will create a new formation of art that is not dependent on mythical energy. With that, I will obtain the means to avenge the Feng Family"
Just like that, by going through the many scenes, Feng found himself enlightened on the art of formation.
Feng Ji came up with many theories during, his life, but only a few of them worked.
At one point in time, he started to carve a formation on his pendant in other to pass it to the next generation.
In a Rural village, Feng Ji found himself falling in love with a beautiful woman. They had a child, a beautiful girl.
Feng Ji was greatly inspired by this and continued his project.
One day, when he was feeding food to his child he suddenly thought about something.
" a formation that will evolve itself by feeding on mythical being! It is useless now, but when The heavenly calamity will finally happen. It will be an opportunity for those who mastered it" thinking about this he looked at the toddler's voice.
It took years. Feng was A middle-aged man. He had discovered a way to use formation in combat. He could become invisible, form a hard protective layer around him, and many other things.
But the more he spend time with his wife and his daughter, the less he was convinced about his project of revenge.
Feng Ji grew old, he was an elderly man when his wife died.
One night, he looked at his sleeping daughter who had become a beautiful lady.
Kissing her forehead, Feng Ji smiled before removing his pendant and placing it in her palm.
" I wanted to stay with you, but as must at least try to take revenge for my family," Feng Ji said before leaving the house.
Feng wanted to follow him, only to find that he could not leave the room.
It was the first time that it had happened. In the past, he had always been able to follow Feng Ji wherever he went.
" So, it is the pendant" Feng suddenly understood. limitation of his dream before looking back at Feng Ji.
At that moment, Feng Ji was also looking in his direction.
" use it well. I have placed huge hope on you," Feng Ji said while smiling. He was also staring at Feng.
" you can see me?" Feng asked in shock...
" you are in a world that I created. It is only normal that I can see you. But now you need to go back" Feng Ji ordered.
Feng suddenly saw the world around him getting dark and the next moment he was assaulted by an intense headache
