Memories

Two weeks bled into one another, Finally, the day arrived. Bai Yu materialized not within the confines of the Bai Clan, but before the imposing gates of the Azure Sword Sect. A whirlwind of emotions swirled within him – nostalgia, a flicker of bitterness, and a steely resolve. This was where it all began, within these very walls. Memories, both cherished and painful, flooded his mind. He remembered the camaraderie of his early years, the friendships forged in the fires of training. But a shadow loomed over those memories – the the orchestrated expulsion orchestrated by the very person named Li Feng.

Standing before the Azure Sword Sect gates, Bai Yu was no longer the naive youth they cast out. He was a Law Domain Master.

Yet, a different feeling began to rise within him – a sense of detachment. He was no longer the powerless young cultivator who was ousted from the sect. He was Bai Yu, the Patriarch of the Bai Clan, a Law Domain Master with a powerful clan at his back. Revenge, once a burning desire, now felt hollow.

"I should leave this place as it is right now," Bai Yu thought, a newfound calm settling over him. "I don't need the revenge."

With that decision made, he cast a final glance at the Azure Sword Sect before vanishing in a blur. The unsuspecting disciples continued their training routines, oblivious to the powerful figure who had just stood amongst them.

Back at the Bai Clan, a different kind of excitement crackled in the air. As soon as Bai Yu materialized in the main hall, Grand Elder Long appeared at his side, his face brimming with news. "Patriarch, Elder Xiu has successfully broken through to the Law Domain Master Realm!"

A genuine smile spread across Bai Yu's face. "Excellent news, Grand Elder Long! Let us not waste time then. We must congratulate him and formally induct him into the ranks of the Grand Elders."

In a blink, both figures disappeared, reappearing before a meditating Elder Xiu. The now-powerful aura emanating from Elder Xiu confirmed his newfound mastery – Early Law Domain Master Realm. He opened his eyes to find the Patriarch and Grand Elder Long hovering beside him. Surprise flickered across his face before morphing into joy."Elder Xiu," Bai Yu boomed, his voice filled with pride, "your breakthrough marks a momentous occasion for the Bai Clan. In recognition of your achievement, I hereby promote you to the esteemed position of Grand Elder Xiu!"rand Elder Xiu, overwhelmed with gratitude, bowed deeply to Bai Yu. "Thank you, Patriarch! This honor is more than I deserve."The three of them engaged in a conversation, exchanging insights and experiences. After a while, a question hung heavy in the air.
