…
In the lingering mists and clouds, a vast and enormous island silently floated in the middle of the pure blue sea.
On the island stood many grand mountains that went straight through the clouds.
Looking down from the top, it could be seen that there were blocks of spirit farming fields everywhere on the island where countless precious medicinal ingredients were planted. Many rare and strange demon beasts and spirit beasts were domesticated and spread around all corners of the island.
The island was extremely big; it might’ve been several times the size of the entire Merchant Union. It was not so much an island, but more like an entire piece of Mainland.
Leylin looked into the distance and actually couldn’t see the end. In his view, all he saw were endless mountains. On top of each mountain, there seemed to be the shadows of people.
“It’s a beautiful sight isn’t it?” Ordell said.
“Yes, but more importantly it’s a heaven for cultivators and it seems things are going to get more interesting.” Leylin replied as he turned his attention towards an area filled with demon energy as well as some enormous mountains.
This enormous mountain was wide and magnificent. The mountain was covered with all sorts of mysterious medicinal herbs. Leylin could clearly see the stream-like flows of spirit energy. They seemed to be attracted by the enormous mountain, and actually gathered towards here from all directions of the Immortal Island while silently flowing into this mountain, as if they were supplying nutrients for the mountain.
“No other place can compare to here, This is Immortal Island.” One of the Shura Blood Guards who was at the Third Sky Nirvana smiled and said proudly. He then introduced to Leylin, and pointed at an area overflowing with demon energy behind him.
“Over there, there is a Gate of Heaven leading to the Fourth Demon Area. The battles with the demon dwellers also happen in that area. Usually, even in the areas around the Immortal Island, there can possibly be demon dwellers wandering about. Recently, the demon dwellers have encountered quite a lot of losses too. They temporarily ceased fire, thus they didn’t continue to make trouble.”
His eyes shifted, and realized that it was the same for the other eight more mountains.
The lingering spirit energy on the Immortal Island seemed to be attracted by these nine mountains. They gathered towards here endlessly, and then flowed into these mountains, nourishing these mountains.
Many caves appeared on the sides of the nine mountains. From inside those caves, there were occasionally a few figures that appeared. They seemed to be cultivating heavily inside the caves. After they came out, they seemed like they haven’t adjusted to the sunlight for they all squinted their eyes and quietly frowned.
“These nine mountains can be said as the most precious place in our family. At the heart of the mountains, there are many magical things. The reason why our Alaister family can be so mighty for so long is closely tied to these nine mountains.” The Shura Blood Guard pointed out.
Leylin looked at his mysteries smile and shook his head, it’s very obvious to him that either someone used a special type of formation to attract humongous amount of spiritual energy into these mountain or it’s a natural creation.
Either way, even if this environment with huge amount of Profound Qi is a great place for seclusion and cultivation for others, it’s nothing much for him. Leylin wasn’t that much impressed because although it was amazing and beautiful, even artistic it held no solid value for him.
‘At most I can train my loyal subordinates here… This place is silent too, so I can also create a laboratory…Well it can be a proper base of operations for me.’
“Let’s go down and see Lord Larry, We have already informed them about your arrival young master…..All of the fourth generation direct descendants who are in Immortal Island are also here to meet you.” Nirvana Realm Warrior laughed as he rode the Cyan Blood Bat and flew straight down towards that grand palace below.
Leylin and Ordell also followed along, the other members of Shura blood Guards stopped escorting them and returned to their next postings.
“Hello, young master Berkan.”
“Hello, young master Berkan.”
On Leylin’s way, many warriors all respectfully nodded in greeting. None of these warriors were in low realms, most were in the Disaster, or Earth realms. Their presences were vigorous, and seemed to be much stronger than other warriors of the same realms.
Leylin and Ordell followed behind the Nirvana Realm Warrior, and stayed silent. He only quietly released his consciousness to sense around feeling the difference between the ability of warriors from Endless Sea and Merchant Union.
The spirits in their bodies were extremely outstanding, and their life forces were very vigorous. Even the meridians and flesh of their bodies were extraordinarily sturdy, their Profound Qi was also more refined and vigorous.
“You can follow the path, young master. I would be going now.” The Nirvana Realm warrior bowed respectfully and pointed forward.
“Ok, can you tell me your name?” Leylin kept looking forward seemingly lost in his own thoughts as he asked. The Shura blood guard was surprised at first and immediately answered while bowing, “My name is Richard, Young Master Berkan.”
“Richard, Thank you for your service and your help.”
“It’s a matter of pleasure to serve the family, Young Master.”
“Hmm.. ” Leylin nodded and stepped forward in tow with Ordell.
Leylin didn’t say anything but his eyes were focused and contemplating.
‘What’s is feeling of uncertainty and tension, I can sense from others. Something has happened… ‘
…
In the Alaister family, next to a, cold, deep pool.
Leylin and Ordell stood quietly in the corner, and watched a delicate little figure inside the deep pool.
It was a fifteen or sixteen year-old little girl, her big eyes were unusually lively. She had long eyelashes and straight little nose, looking very cute and lovable.
At the moment, her delicate body sank inside the pool, but she seemed relaxed.
In the clear pool water, with the movement of her limbs, four milstone-sized metal blocks raised enormous waves in the pool water. They made the pool water choppy with waves, and the movements were extremely big.
“Its a peculiar style of training, must be a tyrannical martial arts she is cultivating.” Leylin stared at her wrists and ankles, and realized that there were shackles locked onto there. The shackles were connected to the four millstone-sized metal blocks.
The little girl floated and sank in the water pool, she struggled to stay afloat, and her entire body was drenched.
“Mandy is cultivating the Sky Phoenix Formula, this is a type of Spirit level martial skill. while cultivating, her limbs have to be attached with two thousand kilogram metals, and stay afloat in the water pool at the same time.” A slim young man in white appeared and stood next to Leylin, and explained quietly. Leylin didn’t mind his casual way of talking and nodded after listening to his explanation.
“The Sky Phoenix Formula is an extremely magical martial skill, where once you succeed in cultivating it, you can form Profound Qi wings behind your back. Like the wings of a phoenix, they can directly make her suspend thousands of feet up in the air while being in the Earth realm.”
“Ability to fly when just at Earth Realm.. Truly interesting.”
Usually, only Sky realm masters, could suspend in mid-air, and had the power to take flight.
This girl was only in the first sky of the Earth realm, she still had quite a long journey to the Sky realm where she would be able to float in the air. Leylin has also created a technique that can achieve similar feat but it’s mostly because of the simulation of wind style spells from Magus World and study of wind martial spirit.
Although the speed and stability of flight isn’t as amazing as a Sky Realm warrior it’s still very advantageous in a high level fight.
‘If she can achieve the magical effect of suspending in mid-air through the cultivation of the Sky Phoenix Formula, then she would be able to take all the advantages of flight when battling with people.’
A martial skill that was able to make a Earth realm warrior obtain the flying ability of a Sky realm master, such a martial skill, could truly be called mysteriously magical.
“By the way, I and Berkan Lenoir. May I know who you are?” Leylin cupped his hands and said.
“You are very polite, not a trait us Alaister are particularly known for. I am your Elder Brother, Alaister Myles.”
Inside the deep pool.
Mandy breath out heavily as, her feet and legs kept kicking the pool water. Her body bobbed up and down, but never sank in the water pool.
Her body was attacked with four heavy objects weighing thousand, yet she could still keep her body from sinking in the water. This girl’s performance was shocking.
With two thousand kilogram of heavy objects on one’s body, usually a normal person wouldn’t even be able to move. In the water, one would almost instantly sink into the bottom of the water, and never would have a chance of resurfacing.
This girl used some unknown secret method, and every time she kicked and paddled in the pool water, there was a wave of shocking energy that shot out. It formed into a special pushing force, making her delicate body shoot fiercely up to the surface of the pool for a while. When she continued to sink back down, she would stir the power again, and continue to force herself to the surface of the pool, again and again.
In the Alaister family, there were four generations of people in total at the moment. Alaister Abaddon was the head of the family as the first generation.
Below him, there were three sons, separately known as, Alaister Finn, Alaister Yemen, and Alaister Larry. This was the second generation of the Alaister family.
Among them, Alaister Yemen was the father of Raymond Alaister. Nominally, he was also the grandfather of Berkan. Fifty years ago, he died in battle in the Fourth Demon Area.
Finn and Larry each had two sons. They were Alaister Zander, Noel, Rowan, and Quill; this was the third generation of the Alaister family.
Under Zander, there was Myles and Zayn. Noel had one daughter, Rosalie. Rowan had one son, Keith. Finally, Quill had one daughter Mandy.
The five people, Myles, Zayn, Rosalie, Keith and Mandy were the fourth generation of the Alaister family.
Of course, in the direct descendents of the Alaister family, there wasn’t only these people. However, the rest of them, because they didn’t have the Alaister family’s Immortal Martial Spirit inside their bodies, they weren’t included into this category.
The first generation, Alaister Abaddon, was in the Spirit realm. Below him, the second generation’s Alaister Finn and Larry were both in the Sky realm. Even below that, the third generation’s Alaister Zander, Noel, Rowan, and Quill were almost all in the Nirvana realm. Then lastly, the fourth generation’s Alaister Myles, Zayn, Rosalie, Keith and Mandy, were in the Earth realm.
In the four generations of the Alaister family, between each of the generations, they seemed to only be one realm apart; it was very strange.
Before the Earth realm, there are the Elementary, Nascent, Human, and Disaster realms. These realms belong to normal warrior families, and can be a very long cultivation process. However, Alaister family, these four realms are not hard to pass.
The precious resources controlled by them can make the breakthrough of these four realms speed up by multiple times. As long as you have a determined will and outstanding talent, under the the catalyzing of family’s precious treasures, you can quickly reach the third sky of Disaster realm in a matter of ten years.
However, starting from when you breakthrough to the Earth realm from the Disaster realm, if you want to keep reaching higher, you can no longer just rely on pills and elixirs. At that time, the breakthrough of realms will slow down. Just breaking through a small realm, might need more than ten years of time. That is why in the fourth generation, most can quickly step into the Earth realm. But breakthroughs from that time on, will become slower and slower.
“In our generation, Mandy is the youngest, she is our little sister. This girl doesn’t have much cunningness in her, but she is a delight to us all.” Myles had a coddling smile on his lips, “We all like to spoil her a lot, she also never lets us down. This year she just turned seventeen, and she is already in the first sky of Earth realm.”
Seventeen years old, in the first sky of Earth realm!
Leylin kept smiled shaking his head and looked besides him.
Ordell was the outstanding talent of the new generation of the Omega family, this year she was already twenty-seven years old, but she was still in the Second sky of Earth realm. That Himani, was a talent in which the Evil Wonderland put much focus into training her. She was twenty-five yet only at First Sky of Earth Realm.
“Alright that’s enough to impress your new brother, Mandy you have already mastered the Sky Phoenix Formula. It’s extremely impressive, no need to show off..” Alaister Larry shouted out as he chuckled mischievously. Mandy jumped out of the pool with an embarrassed angry face.
“Hahaha, Grandpa you didn’t had to expose little Mandy like that. She just wants to give a good impression on Berkan.”
“You…. hmph!” Mandy snorted, and pouted her lips.
“Now now, come meet our brother.”
Alaister Larry looked deeply at Leylin and asked with a kind smile, ” You are Berkan?”
“Berkan Lenoir?” Mandy suddenly jumped and stood up. She snorted, “Brother told me you come from a remote place and lacked the resources like us but despite of that, you are at the Third Sky of Earth Realm. This is unfair, I am still the weakest.”
In the Alaister family, because Mandy was the youngest, her level of cultivation was the weakest, and only in the first sky of Earth realm. Every time she would be mocked by Myles and the rest. She hoped that Leylin would be weaker but she suddenly discovered that Leylin who was reportedly sealed hasn’t receded in his cultivation instead he’s broken through to Third Sky of Earth Realm!
Obviously Leylin was at the Third Sky of Earth Realm for a long while. Previously, he only used the Fallen Star Pendant to hide his cultivation but after he came here, Leylin decided to not bother hiding and showcase a greater part of his talent and appear with his real cultivation.
To be honest, he knew he had no chance of hiding his cultivation level against someone like Abaddon. But knowing that Abaddon isn’t here, Leylin currently appeared like a newly ascended Third Sky of Earth realm but in actuality was already at the verge of breaking through to Nirvana realm.
Mandy pointed at Leylin said: “I thought I would finally get a sane person as my brother but you are more ridiculous than other!”
“Mandy, what do you mean finally get a sane person? Are we not sane?”
“No, you all are meanie and crazy about cultivation!”
The children of Alaister family don’t just cultivate endlessly. They often clashed together, and motivated each other, using real life fighting to gain experience.
Because of the existence of the Immortal Martial Spirit, the fights between Alaister family children would not stop at a certain point., they often had situations where there was blood spilling. Mandy was the weakest; In these years, every time she fought with Miles and the others, she never got hurt because they would hold back. However, she had never won either.
She had long heard the news about Leylin’s arrival and thought that Leylin would be weaker and she can have someone to establish her authority over but she was sadly disappointed.
Mandy blinked her adorable eyes, and babbled, “Hmm! Another monster! Why are there so many freaks in our Family!”
Larry smiled briefly, scanning those on-watching warriors, he announced, “This is a new member of Alaister Family. My third brother Yemen’s grandson, Berkan Lenoir!”
“Young Master Berkan!”
“Young Master Berkan!”
“Young Master Berkan!”
Those steady strong-built Alaister warriors began to cry out.
These people were all at high realms, and were well-known in the Endless Sea. They obeyed the Alaister Family not only for their history, but also for their every generation’s incredible ability.
These obstinate warriors served the Alaister Family because of its great power.
They watched for a while, and acknowledged Leylin. At just age twenty two, he’s at Third Sky of Earth realm. This achievement is very stupendous even in the valley of monsters like Alaister Family.
That’s literally unbelievable!
Leylin smiled. He pumped out a stream of dense and vigorous Profound Qi pushing a gale and creating huge pressure on everyone present, this was Leylin way to establish his dominance. Seeing is believing, hence Leylin used his power to show them his real worth.
Leylin’s Profound Qi seem to pressure others as if a huge object is placed on their chest, there was also a hint to coldness that threatens to freeze the world into oblivion. Lerry, Mandy and Myles were surprised to feel such dense and consolidated Profound Qi emitting from his body. It’s was much more powerful than warriors at same level, even by Endless Sea standards.
Myles burst into laughters, “I knew he’s something..otherwise, great grandpa wouldn’t bother to orient his position with the Immortal Blood.”
“Alaister blood does run in your body. You are something. I didn’t knew we would be gifted with such an unprecedented genius at such a time. The Alaister are destined to stay strong and reign supreme!” Larry praised with a smile, then looked away, “Now all get the Fuck away! Got nothing to do?”
Those on-watching warriors then hurriedly left in embarrassment.
“Well I would love to take you around for a tour but we are short on time and I have a task to complete regarding you. Brat, follow me, I will take you to see the demon beast that your great grandfather wanted you to tame.” Larry suddenly shouted.
‘Such a time? Destined to stay strong?Short on time? What can be so pressing that even in their own territory they are short on time..?’ Leylin didn’t ask any questions but rather looked at Ordell.
“Little Ordell, you father has been pestering me about you. He seem to have something to discuss with you, it’s better if you return. You have the Alaister family gratitude for your help and dedication so far for finding Little Berkan.”
“It’s no problem Grandpa Larry.. Berkan is my friend and he has saved my life many times, it’s obvious I would wanna help and I didn’t do much anyway.”
“Just friend?” Mandy on the side interrupted as she giggled.
Ordell cheeks became red, and dropped head down without saying anything, her face slowly turned beet red and glanced shyly at Leylin who could only shake his head wryly.
Everyone froze for a moment, and then their eyes were like a lighting, looking at Leylin and Ordell.
In the Kyara Sea, Ordell was famous for her eyesight, she never put anyone who in same age with her in her eyes, and in her heart, there was only Omega family and cultivation.
Over the years, the men who pursuit her were from of every corner in the Kyara sea, even the genius young men in the other sea also covered her beauty and often wandered to the Omega family just to get a glance of Omega and catch her attention.
However, no matter who, and no matter how outstanding he was, she never thought about them.
Even the leader of the new generations from the Evil Wonderland, Josue Ambre, admired her for many years but there was never a slightest progress, which made him very unhappy.
In the Kyara sea, Ordell can be described as a misty cloud mountain, which can’t be climbed, and only can be looked up from afar by the young men.
Even some from Alaister family were also obsessed with her for some time but didn’t receive any attention, and at last, they gave up.
Now, because the words from Mandy, the beauty face became blushed, which surprised everyone.
“Stop teasing her. Bye Ordell take care of yourself, I’ll meet you after I am done. ” Leylin patted Ordell head.
“Sure, I’ll be waiting for you.” Ordell smiled sweetly as her eyes turned crescent as she cherished the warmth of his hands. After a while with hesitation and sadness she turned around and left.
“Little Berkan!” Miles threw a thumb as he was amazed too: “Ordell, this girl, in Kyara sea, she is like a goddess, many people covet her beauty, but she never blushed in front of anyone; You brat, you are really great, no wonder the great grandpa think highly of you.”
“Brother Berkan, I support you!” Mandy also cheered, smiled: “Sister Ordell is so beautiful, she is the most beautiful scenery in our Kyara sea, this kind of beauty should be subdued by us. Hahaha, brother Keith and the others were disappointing, at that time, I also despised them. I didn’t expect that brother Berkan is so great, you just came here, and already hooked sister Ordell, you are really great”
“You guys are too excited… Let’s go.”
Leylin followed Larry, heading for a valley between two holy mountains.
When there were still some miles away, Leylin faintly felt a wave of ferocious and evil atmosphere from the valley.
Above the valley, extremely strong demon energy and Underworld dark energy came through unusual thick indigo and black clouds. The two totally different flavors singularly gathered together, and both seemed to be coming from the monster.
“Howl!”
As if it was aware that someone was approaching, a loud roar that can shake heaven and earth was heard from the valley all of a sudden.
When the roar came out, varieties of captive demon beasts in the nearby valley prostrated on the ground in succession, they looked quite scared and didn’t dare to straighten up.
“What a fierce thing!” Larry whispered with a helpless face, “It’s exhausting just to keep this demon beast. In only three, this demon beast had eaten nearly a few hundred demon beasts at level three or level four. If we Alaister Family didn’t have abundant financial resources, we can hardly afford to keep it.”
Leylin was excited as he gazed at the monstrosity before him.
‘This.. ‘
