Chapter 16: The Guardian's Oath and the Mother Whisper

In the quite aftermath of the Primodel Family's ancestral sanctuary, Wei Xian began to grasp the full weight of his destiny. As his father's solemn words echoed in the hallowed halls- urging him to shroud his forbidden arts until victory was certain-a new presence emerged to further secure his future.

A towering figure, know as Guardian Ming, was dispatched by the patriarch himself. Renowned for his unwavering loyalty and powerful martial arts, Ming became the steadfast protector of Wei Xian. With eyes as sharp as ancient blades and a heart forged in the crucible of countless battle, the guardian ensured that no treat, whether from rival forces or internal strife, could breach the sanctuary's sacred wall.

One quite evening, as ethereal moonlight filtered through the ancestral murals, Guardian Ming approached Wei Xian with a revelation that stirred both hope and mystery. Lower realm whispers had long claimed that Wei Xian's mother had perished in a desperate sacrifice meant to shield her son from mortal peril. Yet, the guardian's voice was laced with certainty as he recounted the hidden truth:

"Your mother did not meant her end on that fateful day. In the chaos of the lower realm, as dark forces closed in to snuff out your light, she invoked the Celestial Teleportation Jewel-a treasure of profound power. In her selfless act, she activated the jewel, teleporting away from the brink of death. Though seperated from us, she endures, watching over you from afar."

The revelation sent a shiver through Wei Xian's soul-a bittersweet reminder of sacrifice and the promise of reunion. His mother's mysterious survival, safeguarded by an ancient treasure, hinted an untold depts of her own power and devotion.

Guardian Ming continued, his tone both cautionary and resolute:

"Remember, young lord the forbidden arts you wield are a double-edged sword. Only reveal their might when victory is assured. For now, nurture the awakend bloodline within you, and let the wisdom of your lineage guide you. The Immortal Dao Palace awaits-a place where your true potential can flourish under the vigilant teaching of ancient and Immortal masters.

Thus, with the solemn oath of Guardian Ming echoing in his heart, Wei Xian resolved to conceal his dark powers form prying eyes until the time was right. His father's guidance, his own newfound strength, and the hopeful whisper of his mother's survival became the pillars upon which he would build his future. This journey ahead promised not only battles against formidable foes in the Upper Realm but also the eventual convergence with the fabled Immortal Dao Palace-a bastion of enlightenment where destiny and legacy intertwined.
