Zhao Yongzheng (2)

33 years later.

East of the eternal spirit sect, in one of the valleys near the twilight reflection palace, a young man bows down on a huge rock next to a quiet river that flows before him. That rock, obviously, was carefully placed there by someone.

The young man wore a white robe decorated with consistent blue patterns, showing the perfect height and texture of a thirty-three-year-old man. His face was like a painting engraved with the smallest details and the most wonderful colors. His wide eyes radiated innocently and vigorously, like two clear ponds of water reflecting sunlight. Their luminous gaze carried untold stories and countless secrets. His black eyebrows stand out magnificently, adding to his face a mysterious charm and prestige.

His long black hair flowed smoothly, fell on his shoulders like a waterfall of silk, and reflected the light in a blinding light. His elegant style enhances his unique appeal, and shows a side of the nobility and sophistication of his character. 

His pure white skin radiated a slight shine, as if illuminated from within, adding to an aura of pure and innocent beauty. His delicate lips had a light pink color, so meticulously carved that every word that came out of them seemed to carry a special charm.

What was really remarkable was the complete absence of any spiritual energy emitted from him, which made him look like a fully mortal man. But even more unusual was his pupils, which were completely white. His mind was completely immersed in the sacred text he read in his hands, turning its pages lightly and meditatively. His book, entitled "The Prophecy of Heaven and the Heavenly Punishment", stopped at a specific text:

What was truly remarkable was the total absence of any spiritual power coming out of him, which made him seem like a completely mortal. But even more unusual were his pupils, which were completely white. His mind was completely immersed in the sacred text he read in his hands, turning lightly and meditating on. His book, entitled "The Prophecy of Heaven and the Heavenly Punishment", stopped at a specific text:

...…..

"The heavens control the fates of all mortals, but we cultivators challenge it and seek power and elevation. For this reason, Heaven is punishing us by sending tribulation to us. We are the ones who walk against fate written for us, and we try to write our own destinies."

"Who doesn't want to rise? The lust for greed planted within us is also the seed of heaven. Doesn't that mean, in its own way, it is inviting us to challenge it?"

"We may rise and grow and face tribulations after another, but what is the end? Is there really a ceiling to the greed of souls? Is there anything beyond cultivation? What makes the heavens so terrifying? It is said that only the four great venerable know the answers to these questions, but because of their long disappearance, we cannot know the truth."

"But who knows too, they are sinful children! But sadly we won't know from them either, why, it is the heavens itself that punish them immediately after their birth and kill them without any mercy!"

"If you ask any cultivator what terrifies them most in the heavens, they will all answer with one voice: its ruthless deadly power. But there's something else that's just as scary, is its ability to augury"

"It is true that the heavens itself cannot write your fate as a cultivator, but can partly predict your future path. This caused considerable controversy among the cultivators. Even the most powerful cultivators have argued a lot about this question: can heavenly predictions change based on our decisions, or is our fate governed by what the heavens see?"

"When the great Venerable Lin Tao, one of the four greats Venerables , was asked this question, he gave a simple answer in a few words: The heavens may know part of your future as a cultivator, but ability to stop you depends on your own decisions."

"Until now this debate is still deliberating between cultivators, but what everyone agreed on is that the sinful children are the sworn enemies of heaven!"

"It is said that heaven looks at all the future of new souls that are born, and when it witnesses who can threaten it, someone whose future path is really the greatest threat to it, not a cultivator who later turned into a threat. This person whom heaven seeks to get rid of is a great threat, and so his fate is written on him from birth."

"For this reason, the heavens send their strongest tribulations to wipe them out before their seeds grow. The heavens are an entity that accepts no threat to it. They call these people the 'sinful son'. Because they bring disaster to their sect and his family, in one night the entire sect could be wiped off the earth. However, the appearance of the 'sinful son' is very rare, occurring almost once every three generations."

"But what is even more curious is the appearance of the 'Unknown Savior'. Throughout the ages, the appearance of the unknown savior has been associated with the appearance of the sinful son. When the heavens wish to punish the sinful son, a spell appears that gives him one life cycle and protects him, but unfortunately, he will live his life completely disabled, unable to cross the first threshold of the path of cultivation."

"At the end of his life cycle, the heavens will again send a tribulation to eliminate him, but then the spell will no longer protect him and he will die. No one knows who the spell is or who released it, and even the sinful son cannot answer it and does not know what they are talking about. However, the sinful son rarely dies by heaven's tribulation again, for there is something else that takes his soul before the heavens can."

"Great breakthrough pill! Because he was the best element within the great breakthrough pill, the spell that protected him is said to also have the power to make him breakthrough the bottleneck of their cultivation. When they tried it, it proved its worth, and everyone who used it immediately passed their bottleneck. But the process was the greatest torture one had ever experienced, as one's body was melted from the inside out to enable mixing with the other elements, so that one's soul was integrated and could not ascend to the heaven."

"As this was a very immoral way, the great Venerable benevolent wang qiang, one of the four great Venerable, intervened to prevent the hunt of sinful sons and to impose severe punishment on those who practice this heinous act. However, sinful sons continue to be hunted and killed illegally, especially because of their rarity and backs almost every three generations, as well as the absolute effectiveness of the great breakthrough pill."

"However, The question remains, though: Was the sinful son really someone worthy of the heavenly threat? Was the unknown savior trying to help him or just make him suffer for one life cycle? No one knew the cause of these things, not even the sinful son himself. What everyone knew, however, was that the sinful son was, more than anything else, a bad omen for his community and his parents. To his parents, for he called up heaven's murderous tribulation that could wipe them out of existence. And his own, because they are attacked and slaughtered by other sects to hunt for the sinful son to merge him with the great breakthrough pill."

.........….

The quiet young man lightly closed the book, breathing deep fresh air. He looked forward, steeped in his thoughts, until he was cut off by a sweet voice calling from afar.

"Zhao yongzheng, zhao yongzheng!" a girl waving at him from afar. Her body is full of symmetry, and a prominent female, whose long black hair wraps into the breeze, and descends smoothly on her back. Her face was a sign of beauty, her pure white skin glistening in the sun, her broad blue eyes glistening like jewels, and her cherry lips gave her a touch of sweetness and serenity.

She moved lightly and gracefully, and her smile brightened her bright face, imbuing her with irresistible charm. Her attractive beauty and overwhelming freshness embody the glamorous beauty and subtlety at the same time, to appear as a mature and sexy woman carrying all meanings of femininity, was the older sister of zhao yongzheng, zhao Xiaohui.

A mysterious and dark brilliance inside zhao yongzheng white eyes quickly disappeared, replaced by a pure white purity. His wonderful laughter lit up his face as he looked at his older sister with a warm smile.
