It looked like a desert, but the atmosphere was blue-red, the breeze was cold and buzzing, it was very wide and seemed endless ... There was no sign of life, it seemed like a forbidden city, with groaning of animals especially wolves, "what's this place" Leo asked himself after walking around endlessly.
' Come.....Come...Come....." Leo was startled as he turned and saw a gloomy female like spirit signalling to him to follow.
"Who are you..." Leo found out that everything that was said sounded like an echo.
"I am your Mother..... Your Mother" the spirit answered.
"Mother..... Mother...." Leo was puzzled and confused..... " Who was really his mother, is this spirit in front of him really his mother" Leo thought.
" How would I know of you are really my mother... Really my mother" Leo asked. "You have an Awakened soul, just like me and Mark on your chest.... On your chest" the spirit answered with a smile.
Leo was totally shocked, nobody except from Su-du had ever seen his chest, but the spirit in front of him knows he has a mark....
"Come.... Come....." The spirit signalled to Leo. Leo was excited as he moved towards the spirit..... Finally he had seen one of his family.
"Buj-ji do not follow, it's all a lie" Leo heard the voice of master Du-bin behind him... Leo turned and saw Master Du-bin.
"Master Du-bin, she is my mother, she knows a lot about me" Leo replied.
"It's a lie Buj-ji, you are in the realm of lie" Master Du-bin answered moving slowly towards Leo.
"How would I know if it's you that's lying?" Leo asked confused.
"Come... Come.... Come" the spirit was getting impatient as it spoke.
"Leo it's all a lie, Spirits like me can read your memories and can see all what you have. She knows a lot about you because she read your memories, scan your physical body and your abilities.... If she's really your mother, She must know your real name and your place of birth... Ask" Master Du-bin told Leo telepathically.
" Mother, what's my real name and what's my real name"Leo knew he didn't remember any of those, so if the spirit was just reading his memory he would know.
" I do not know your name, I died after I gave birth to you... My son, do you think I am a liar?" The spirit asked sounding miserable.
" Buj-ji, No powerful cultivator would die while giving birth, a cultivator that is above the third atmosphere layer can even give birth while fighting and nothing would be wrong and the spirit on front of you Is at the seventh atmosphere layer....sooo" Master Du-bin said knowing he had given Leo a good reason to believe him.
" You are not my Mother stop lying to me" Leo shouted out.
"Hahahahaha!, It's too late, you can't escape again..... You'd become Master Cha slave..." The spirit became ten times it's original self, it now sounded like a mad wolf.
" Leo, I can't help you in here, you can see me because I know how to break through the first layer of this illusion, so just follow everything I tell you" Master Du-bin said panicking.
" Release your Absorbing energy...." Leo did as master Du-bin instructed.
" Wow!, It's been millions of years since I saw this Absorbing energy, is the bastard i fought with years ago your father" the spirit asked moving towards Leo's head with a wide palm.
"Witchcraft freeze....." The spirit threw the palm strike.
"Wave it" Leo was covered in cold sweats, the spirit was just too powerful, he did all what Master Du-bin said without thinking.
"Holy rage punch..... DEMONIC freeze.... Invisible punch.... Demonic wave..... Bloody duo punch..... Seven dragon swords..." Leo threw the punches like a mad man.
The punches went pass the spirit like air... "Ahhhh !, Buj-ji you can't fight the spirit just listen to what I tell you...." Master Du-bin shouted out.
"Okay, master Du-bin what do I do next ?"Leo was under pressure. "Have you ever released your Awakened soul?" Master Du-bin asked.
"Can I release it ?"Leo asked confused.
" Ahhh, your are useless Buj-ji. Sit crossed legged and activate your divine sense... Then release your Awakened soul." Master Du-bin replied.
Leo sat cross legged and activated his divine sense.
"DEMONIC shield" Leo shouted out as he sensed a palm strike coming towards his head.
" Now release your Awakened soul fast" master Du-bin shouted out.
"Hummmm!, Luz come out" Leo shouted out... But nothing happened.
Leo was sweating profusely, Luz was not even responding.... " Ahhh!, Master Du-bin it is not responding....?" Leo cried out.
"Wave!" Master Du-bin shouted.
Leo moved his head..... The deadly punch the spirit threw out broke his demonic shield and moved to his head furiously.
"Master Du-bin help me, I'm tried!" Leo cried out...
" You must release your Awakened soul, if not you might remain here for millions of years" Master Du-bin replied.

"How is he ?" Lad-ou asked as she came into the he room Leo was. Leo had been in bed for the past two weeks... He was not responding to the treatment from the best physicians.
The Competition of the West was going to start and all the five regions under the west were already getting ready to take their representative to the west center.
"Brother Buj-ji....." A loud voice was heard in the palace of Had-ou.
"That's Gra-ma...." Sna-ok said as he moved swiftly towards the sound.
"What happened" Gra-ma had been cultivating the whole time so he wasn't updated about the story of the cultivator that saved the only child of Emperor Had-ou.
"Master is really sick, he has not opened his eyes for the past two weeks....." Sna-ok answered.
" The Competition of the west is starting soon, is he not going to participate anymore?" Gra-ma replied with a crying voice.
Lad-ou was surprised at the Cultivation level of Gra-ma, he had broken through three cultivation levels in a few weeks.....
"He would be fine Gra-ma, I believe" Lad-ou said sounding like Leo's wife.

"Aaahhhhhh!," Leo voice was getting weaker as the day went on, he had been fighting with the spirit for days.
" Luz appear" after a long trial, A tiny Lizard like dragon appeared in front of Leo.
" Oh jeez, is this your Awakened soul?"Master Du-bin shouted out in anger.
"Ku-pin Awakened soul is a mighty and large three headed dragon but yours is a lizard dragon" Master Du-bin shouted.
"Hello Appa, I'm seeing you for the first time, what is wrong?" Luz asked innocently. Leo cursed after hearing that.
"You do not know what I have been through the whole time Luz?' Leo shouted angrily.... "Hummmm!, Master I was taking a nap and I just woke up and heard you calling me out" Luz answered like a child.
Leo was not on the mood for discussion. " Master Du-bin, he is out what should I do next?" Leo asked.
''You make me angry Buj-ji, I don't know if your little lizard can do it..... Release seven dragon absorbing cauldron and release all your pure Qi into it ...then make ...that your lizard absorb it and...."Master Du-bin was not done talking when the spirit threw punches of space and time at Leo.
" Appa, leave it to me..." Luz said and moved towards the punches like a kite.
"Graaaaaaaahhhh Bookooooom..." The whole realm was filled with dust...
"Luz....Luz..." Leo shouted out as there was no sign of Luz.
"I'm here master..... I consumed it" Luz was now bigger in size..... He had just consumed the spirit time and space energy and turned it into his own power.
" It seems this your lizard is not weak after all" Master Du-bin said sounding pleased.
" Why is do you now have three heads?" Leo asked Luz.
"Leo I'd explain all that later, just do what you are meant to do and get out fast" Master Du-bin shouted out angrily.
"Seven dragon absorbing cauldron appear...." Leo shouted out....
