Yan Wuji looked at the boy sprawling unconscious in front of him. Hah, what a drag. This matter literally spawned out of the void to drop in front of him. Pinching his index and middle finger together, he made some calculations. This BOY... And boy he was, still less than a 100 years, just at the divine realm, albeit very weak and unstable could have bypass the Mountain's different formations, charms, spell and protection to appear directly before him. Even a Nirvana realm Grandmaster would find what this little boy just did impossible.
He calculated. Jiang Zihan entire life spread out in front of him, all his entanglements, karma .. everything appeared. And how he came to be lying in his Seclusion cave, unbroken in for 850 years showed itself. The boy, Jiang Zihan just interrupted close to 1000 years of unbroken cultivation. Well, he's done anyway.. he's just having a hard time getting back. The boy did well.
Yan Wuji sighed. "So that's how it is. We are fated then". He muttered. Well, it's for his own good. His Divine Bridge steps were extremely weak, and his golden core could be better. But shattering the core and making the energy nourish and strengthen the foundation is not something anyone can do. Lucky boy. Let's see how he does when he wakes up. If he wakes up.
He closed his eyes back.
Jiang Zihan was dreaming again. This time, when he was still Prince Zhentian, Crown prince of the Qin Empire. He was lying down and taking an afternoon nap on a futon in his private rooms in the palace. His wife and daughter were at the Court today. Suddenly, he heard a majestic voice, speaking as though right before him, as do all the citizens of Great Qin Empire.
" The Qin Empire has defied the heavens and has turned the way upside down. The Royal family of Qin have commited numerous sadistic and depraved crime, leading the Empire to ruin. As the Myriad Dao Sect is merciful and uphold the Orthodox path, we will act on the behalf of heaven and exterminate the corrupt Qin Family. This is the Will of Heavens"
It was on that bright, hot afternoon, that the glorious Qin family was brought to an end. A family that existed since the formation of the Di Yue realm was extinguished because they refused to acquiesce and bow down to the corrupt sect. His wife .. and his Yanyan, his sweet little laughter.. dead. Everyone dead. His Father, Qin Zhenyan, Son of Heaven, Emperor of Qin, Sovereign of the Eastern Isles, killed like a dog. The Royal Palace burning... A majestic edifice that has stood proud for thousands of years... All laid to waste.
It was a miracle he survived. Perhaps it was fate. Heaven does not close all doors, there's always a way out. It was on that day, when he had lost everything... He lost his name too. He had no right to bear the name "QIN" anymore. How could he, when they're all dead, the people of the Empire killed and murdered?. So he took the name his Mother gave him, and her family name. Jiang Zihan.
And on that day, in front of his ancestral tomb, he swore vengeance on all the sects of the world. And to bring back peace and order to the realm. He is the last Emperor of the Qin dynasty, an Emperor with no Empire. He is nothing. Qin exists no more
He is now Jiang Zihan, The Star River Sword God of Di Yue realm.
No, he is just Jiang Zihan, a Foundation Establishment cultivator lying unconscious in the Square Inch Mountain, in the cave of the World shaking Master, terror of worlds and race, he who has extinguished a civilization before. A crouching Dragon.
Yan Wuji.
Unfettered and Unbounded. Comes and goes as he wishes. The last time he stepped outside was almost a thousand years ago. Thought to be wounded terribly at the Great World Dao Battle Calamity a millenia ago. But the world still quake at the mention of his name.
