Cult

Just like any other day , the weather is cool and warm , full of beautiful scenery covering the small Park located at Western Long District .

Long Family is a family of Wood Immortals , their Ancestor used to be one of the greatest Wood Life Technique Creator .

Life Technique is something to which the Creator gives their entire efforts.

A Life Technique will depend on how profound and unfathomable level of Talent did the Creator exerted inorder to invent one ?

Long Family's famous [ Bring Back To Life ] Life Technique is yearned by all the Wood Attribute Cultivators .

But to learn this Life Technique one has to fulfill three requirements — Long Bloodline , Ancestral Bestowment and finally Long Family's Numinous Artifact — Heart Of Vitality .

Because of their close relation with Nature , Long Family is always surrounded by ecosystems .

The Western Long District is rumored to be the most beautiful District in Spirit Arc City .

"Young master Qi , here , here "

"This place is so beautiful and lively "

Close to a small river , You'er waves her hand . Signaling Young master Qi and his group .

Since they have lots of free time , he and his group have come to enjoy their free time .

Bright sun showers the warm light all over the world , and the same ray of light baths Young master Qi and his group .

Looking at the location where You'er was calling him , Young master Qi thought it was a nice location for him and his group to rest .

There was a small river and close to the riverbank was grassland.

Blanketing the grassland with mat , he and his group sit down .

"Young master , take a look here "

When Young master Qi was basking on sunlight , he suddenly heard You'er talk to him .

"This are what I especially made for you , I thought you would be hungry so "

With an innocent smile and lovely voice , the adorable You'er took out a basket of bread and butter .

"But why did you even homemade them ? I can just easily buy foods around "

Young master Qi blinks his eyes , not understanding why this adorable and foolish girl suddenly decides to prepare this lunch for him ?

What is going on with this girl ?

She is acting as if I am her husband and she is my wife , we are not at a picnic .

For a moment , Young master Qi feels lots of questions flooding in his head but soon he calms himself . He says nothing .

"Hey , look at him . Isn't he so handsome ? "

When they were resting close to the river , Young master Qi and You'er heard some beauties complimenting Young master Qi .

"Yes , yes , he is so handsome "

"I wish he would hold me in his strong arms "

"You wish "

Two beautiful girls in their late 18's were daydreaming .

Even though Young master Qi is only just 9 years old , his looks and appearance are extremely handsome and has Transcend the Mortal Perception of handsomeness .

So , he can be said to be a lady-killer even though he is only 9 years old .

"Young master , here , say ah "

Stretching her slender right arm that is as white as snow , You'er tries to feed Young master Qi with her own hand .

"...."

What is this girl trying to achieve ?

Young master Qi just shrugs his shoulders and takes a small bite from the mixture between bread and butter .

"This is delicious , I didn't know you have talent in gourmet "

Licking his lips where the taste of butter got left , Young master Qi praises You'er.

With a slight blush on her face , You'er replies shyly .

"Do you really think I am good at cooking ?"

Once again Young master Qi was left speechless by this girl "

Why are you even feeling shy ?

He ignores her and begins to admire the beauty of his surroundings .

Not just him and his group , even other visitors have come to this park to enjoy their free time .

You'er look at the half eaten bread and gulps her saliva , feeling extremely nervous .

After gathering her courage , she finally takes a bite for herself and experiences Seventh Heaven .

'is ... Is , is this the legendary Indirect Kiss ?'

Suddenly the innocent mind of You'er is taken over by a Demon named Misunderstanding .

'Did I and Young master Qi kiss indirectly ? '

' doesn't that means , doesn't that means he has to take responsibility for taking my maiden Chastity ? '

Plastering her free palm on her adorable face , she shakes her head ferociously .

Noticing her strange behavior , Young master eyes reveals [ Are You For Real ? ] Expression .

He ignores her and slowly begins to create distance between him and her .

Two years ago , Young master Qi took this girl under his wings on a whim . He just thought it would be good to have a Mortal as his maid , a maid who can be used as his Experiment.

So whenever he visit a new place , he would first smile and give [ Gift ] to You'er first .

If he visits his enemy household , he will first offer You'er to eat the dinner and only after her , he will start eating .

When he visits some new location, he will first ask You'er to enter and only then , he will follow her .

In his eyes , You'er is his [ Priceless Test Subject ] . But in You'er Perception , she is the most [ Priceless and Loving ] Treasure for Young master Qi .

Otherwise why would he always ask me to eat first and then he will follow me ?

If not , why would he ask me to follow him everywhere ?

If not , why would he always want me to stay by his side ?

He truly loves me , but it is just that he is a master at hiding his true feelings for me .

So naughty .

But I will let that be , since I also love you young master .

You are so bad , young master .

Suddenly Young master Qi felt his whole body electrocuted by a mysterious power .

"What the hell "

He looks around and expands his Divine Sense , but he does not detect any malicious Aura aiming on him .

So what was that just now ?

Was he just imagining things ?

After a brief moment , he suddenly heard a loud and clear , cheerful voice calling him .

"Young master Qi , so you truly visited our Western Long District "

"I am so happy "

Turning back to look , Young master Qi soon sees his old acquaintance running toward him . A bad feeling rose in his heart .

"Why is this stupid brat here ?"

He cursed when he saw the person called for him .

"Young master Qi , it's so good to see you here "

"You came here to meet me , didn't you ? "

Long Shen is a young boy at the age of 13 , despite his age he is an expert at medicine .

He is around 3'6 feet tall and slim body , looking weak and fragile. Wearing aristocratic cloth he seems to come from a decent family .

He has green hairs and greenish pupils , resonating with his Wood Dao Bloodline .

Long Family has inherited Wood Dao Bloodline which gives them Natural and Connate ability to communicate with Nature since their birth .

Their Ancestor was worthy of his Dao Title — Quasi Three Leaves Wood Emperor .

Although their Ancestor was not a True Emperor , he was still one of many Young Emperors of his time .

Three Leaves , this is the greatest Forbidden Technique inherited by the descendants of Quasi Three Leaves Wood Emperor .

Three Leaves is said to be on par with Imperial Merit Law .

"Long Shen , why are you here ? "

With a calm expression , Young master Qi asks Long Shen for the reason why he is wasting his time around the park .

Long Shen is an Inborn Genius for Medicine Dao , at the age of 13 , he is already a Medicine Expert , just one step away from becoming Medicine Elite .

Even during the True Emperor Yang generation , there were no such Monsters born .

It seems after many True Emperors were born on Holy Dan World , the Great Providence truly transformed the world into something new .

Ancient Qi has now become even stronger and powerful . Although they are still called Spiritual Qi , compared to the past , the current timeline has much more pure and rich Spiritual Qi .

And Merit Laws of the past have improved and transformed into much more powerful Merit Laws , displaying power that far exceeds the imagination of the Creator themselves .

Maybe after a few years or an era , the Path to Godhood will finally open for the True Emperor .

Although the True Emperor is already someone who stands on Apex , only the True Emperor can feel the Realm that exists above the Peerless Emperor Realm .

The Realm Of Godhood !!

"Actually I was treating some of my family soldiers and improving my Medicine Dao through real life experience "

"But I heard my subordinates say you have visited our Tranquility Park "

"So , leaving all my Patients behind , I came here to meet you "

Young master Qi can see enthusiasm and monstrous vitality circulating all over this brat's body .

And he can even sense there is no guilt in his voice when he said he left all his patients behind just to meet him .

"So , what happened to your patients you were supposed to treat ?"

Young master Qi diverts the topic and ask this little brat .

Long Shen snorts disdainfully , not caring for his own family members' feelings .

"How should I know what happen to them ?"

Long Shen is the type of person who gives no shit to anything . He will do anything he wants , he will not care for others feelings .

He will never force himself to follow others shit .

That is also why in his Family , many of his subordinates try their best not to anger him and get on his bad side .

There was even one-time when he gave poison to his own family soldier and killed the poor victim on the spot .

Yes , although the motto of Medicine Master is to save life . Long Shen will do as he pleases as long as someone gets on his bad side .

The only reason why he poison the victim was , that person happened to talk bad about him and his Medicine Skill .

And as a Medicine Psychopath , how can he tolerate someone badmouthing his Medicine Dao ?

He was punished by his elders later , but he is the youngest son of the District Lord so how can anyone punish him severely ?

He was only lightly punished .

"You know , sometimes I feel like you are not the son of District Lord Long . But his adopted son "

Young master Qi did not hesitate to say that out loud .

The District Lord is so kind and simple . As someone with an Imperial Palace inside his Consciousness , Young master Qi can read and see through anyone's true Personality .

And he can see that District Lord Long is a very simple and honest man .

Yes, that thing about him having three wives is different though .

Long Shen is the son of the third wife — Jian Mei .

"So Young master , how about letting me do some research on your Body ?"

While moving his ten fingers like a crazy scientist , Long Shen looks at Young master Qi as if looking at the greatest mystery he has to solve .

Young master Qi shrugs his shoulders and exhales long breaths .

"Long Shen , since the first time we met . I have been warning you not to act in this way "

"Or else I may someday just dissect your body for my own curiosity "

Young master Qi stands up and warns Long Shen . But to his horror , Long Shen breathing became ragged .

"If Young master Qi wants to dissect my body for your curiosity , I will freely let you do it "

"After all , I too want to find out if my body is different from anyone else or not ?"

Listening to Long Shen's response , Young master Qi shakes his head .

But thank God , soon Long Shenlong arrived .

"Greeting Young master Qi , I didn't expect an honorable person like you to visit my humble Western Long "

Unlike Long Shen , Long Shenlong is a very refined and gentle person . He is 22 years old this year , with both refined manners and extraordinary looks , Long Shenlong can be said to be Dragon amongst Dragon .

He is clad with a long green Daoist Robe , making him look similar to Enlightened Sage .

Just like his little brother , he also has long green hair and eyes .

Following him are a group of Long Family guards .

" Greeting to you too , Young master of Western Long "

With a slight nod , Young master Qi greets back to Long Shenlong .

It is said that , during the Long Shenlong birth , there was 3000 meter long and World Devouring size Wood Dragon Celestial Phenomenon above Western Long District .

The Dragon Roar alone shook the Nine Heaven and forced the Ancient Powerhouse to feel threatened .

Someone blessed by God Of Nature himself !!

Just a 22 years old yet already ranked as one of [ Giants ] of his generation .

During True Emperor Yang generation , there was no such thing as Rankings . But after Geniuses began to appear one after another , Old Monsters began to create Ranking System to rank which Geniuses are at the top of Hierarchy , ruling over Foodchain .

"I hope this young lad didn't trouble you , and if he did so . I apologize in his place "

Long Shenlong gently brush the green short hairs of Long Shen . We can clearly see how much he loves and cares for his young brother .

Yes , in actual , although Long Shenlong is extremely powerful Genius of his generation . Everyone around him knows the fact that he is a Brother who loves his Siblings more than his own life .

He may look like a very gentle and refined person , similar to a Scholar with great Wisdom .

But once you badmouth or hurt his siblings , he will upturn the world . He will hunt you down even if you run till the end of Universe .

"Not at all , other than irritating me , this Long didn't trouble me at all "

Young master Qi has a very good relationship with Long Shenlong since Young master Qi deems that Long Shenlong is worthy of his attention .

A person with great providence , extreme luck and fortune .

Long Shenlong is, in short , a favoured son of Heaven .

"What is going on ? I heard your Family guards are injured ?"

"Did something happen last night ?"

Young master Qi took this chance to ask Long Shenlong about the current situation of the Long Family .

With a deep sigh , Long Shenlong reveals a helpless smile .

"Just last night , our Family Guard clashed with some suspicious group of people "

"Because our guards activated Primordial Unity Eco Formation at time , they manage to protect their life and even capture one of those suspicious people "

"Oh "

Young master Qi nods his head in understanding , but he is still confused . After a while he comes up with a theory of his own .

"Did that prisoner kill himself or something ?"

"You are wise , Young master Qi "

"I feel shame when I compare my little knowledge to your vast and oceanic Wisdom "

Long Shenlong was left in awe when he heard Young master Qi theory . He can never understand how a nine year old kid even has such Wisdom ?

Is Young master Qi son of Wisdom ?

"Hehe , but surely . According to your Ancestor or even your father , they must have done something to find the origin of the culprit "

"Am I wrong ?"

When Young master Qi asked him the question , Long Shenlong smiled lightly . Not denying the statement .

"Yes , at first my father tried to use his Cultivation to track down the origin of the prisoner "

"But it seem some mysterious force has hidden the origin of the prisoner"

"So , our Ancestor had to personally come out of his Seclusion"

"And through him , we found out this prisoner is some sort of Cultist "

When Long Shenlong said this much , even Young master Qi was interested in this topic .

A Cultist , this is a term used for those groups of heretics that is behind the birth of Fiends and Apparition.

There was a time dating back to the past , when a Fiend was born from false belief and faith from a large Cult Society .

That Fiend caused a very unforgettable chaos in the world , even Nine Treasure Realm masters were forced to burn their Vitality in order to stop that Fiend .

After all , Fiend are not born normally . They have Quasi - Undying Body and Soul , Inexhaustible Energy and Unparalleled Strength since the more fear they feed , the greater their strength rise .

"A Cultist , and did your Ancestor find out about those Cultists ?"

Young master Qi continues to ask but sadly , Long Shenlong informs him they have not .

"It seem this Cultist are kidnapping humans for a Ritual Sacrifice inorder to birth Soul Of Fiend "

Long Shenlong shares his thoughts with Young master Qi .

With a light nod , Young master Qi begins to move . Shoulder to shoulder , Young master Qi and Long Shenlong tours around the park .

"It seems this group of Cultists has some misconception . They must have believed in some nonexistent Entity , and in turn giving birth to Faith for that nonexistent Entity "

" And now , since this Nonexistent Entity must have slowly begin to show sign of coming to Existence , the Cultist must have thought Sacrifice from human soul will speed up the process of Awakening or something close to it "

Young master Qi and Long Shenlong keep on sharing each other's opinion and theory . Completely forgetting about their surroundings .

"You are truly wise and intelligent, Young master "

"Before your Sea Of Wisdom , my insignificant knowledge is no less than frog in well "

Young master Qi felt his nose twist when he heard sincere admiration from Long Shenlong.

Of course as someone who has lived for millions of years , and also someone who has once reached the Realm Of True Emperor , Young master Qi is both wise and intelligent .

"Let's us separate for now , Young master Qi"

"We shall meet each other again "

When Long Siblings left , Young master Qi suddenly turned serious .

"A Cultist trying to bring a Fiend in this world "

"How Arrogant "

He returns back to normal and meets up with his group .

"Young master , what were you talking about with Long Shenlong ?"

You'er took the chance to ask what Young master Qi and Long Shenlong were talking about with each other .

"Nothing , let's leave for now "

Young master Qi needs to inform his father about this matter .

Someone trying to bring a Fiend in this Real World is nothing but disaster and Calamity for everyone .

Because , everytime a Fiend has come to this world , there always has been blood and death drawing the Real World into burial .

*****

After arriving at Qi Residence , Young master Qi wanted to talk to his father about the Fiend . But when he arrived at Qi Residence and entered his father's room , he saw his father very serious .

"Sect Master , you seem to be very serious "

"Did something happen ?"

Sect Master Qi didn't mind the lack of familiarity from his son . He just chuckles softly and looks at his youngest son.

Sitting on the chair while resting his arms on the table , Sect Master Qi shakes his head .

Ambiguously he says .

"Just something that's troubling this old bone of mine "

Young master Qi nods lightly , not taking his father's words seriously .

"I have some information to give you "

"Oh , is that so ?"

Sect Master Qi raises his right brow up , showing his curiosity .

"It's about the case you have recently been working on "

When Sect Master Qi heard his son talking about the case that has been giving him a headache for a few days , his interest got piqued .

"Go on "

Unlike Sect Matriarch Gu , he has clear consciousness .

He knows all his children's strengths and weaknesses . And the strength of his youngest son is , he never wastes his time on useless things .

As for his weakness , he is just too distant from everyone .

With a serious intonation , Young master Qi continues .

"It seems after you install Surveillance Formation in Central District , the culprits started to take action in neighboring District ."

" And by chance , those culprits were found by Western Long Family's Guard during patrolling at night "

"Unlike other family , those culprits momentarily forgot the greatest strength which Western Long has inherited from their Ancestor "

"And that is [ Oneness With Ecosystem ] "

"Because of this , the guards responsible for patrolling at night , sensed some suspicious people lurking in their territory "

"Hence resulting in conflict between two groups "

After that , Young master Qi shared all the things he knew about this topic with his father .

"Good , good "

Sect Master Qi was so ferocious he nearly ended up exploding .

One of the many Forbidden Act one should not commit in Cultivation World is to not participate in Cult or create a Cult that has anything to do with Fiend and Apparition .

Now that someone has truly done it , Sect Master Qi is not gonna hold back from following the Rule agreed by all the Supreme Ancestors of Powerhouse .

"Son , you can leave now "

"Let your father take control over this matter "

Sect Master Qi returns to being a normal and calm person , he smiles at his son .

"I hope you will "

After all , the matter of bringing a Fiend to the Real World is not something so simple .

Even the weakest Fiend will grow strong eventually, after devouring abundant Fear and Chaos .

With that , Young master Qi takes his leave .

This matter will soon cause havoc in the world of both Mortal and Cultivation .
