Brothers

After three days , inside a divine hall where god and immortal seem to have once lived and blessed the land .

The divine hall has its own independent world , no less than the universe where countless stars and moon hovers .

Resting on an ancient platform that resembles a fragment of the Immortal world where Yin Yang constantly rotates beneath while Heaven and Earth manifest above .

Wudi Egun is immersed with his meditation , birthing life with each breath he exhales while devouring all the vitality of the world with each breath he inhales .

Astral projection of the past and miracle of creation does not stop emerging through his behind , his Spiritual Wheel endlessly explodes with otherworldly scared power .

[ Cultivating Spirituality — 45 percent ]

[ Cultivating Physique — 55 percent ]

[ Cultivating Dao — 52 percent ]

[ Cultivating..... 

There were lots of notifications encircling Wudi Egun , reporting on how much his progress has reached .

After a long time , his Nascent Spirit seems to bloom like a flower , Awakening from evolution .

His Nascent Spirit size of a palm , brimming with pure divinity opens his pair of hallowed dark eyes .

Although the Nascent Spirit reflects the image of Wudi Egun , he does not have a mouth , nose and any form of characteristics of a human .

This Nascent Spirit reflects the image of shadow with multicolored light glowing while only leaving his eyes dark .

"Boom"

Soon a sacred power explodes , creating a world shattering vibration .

Opening his pair of eyes , Wudi Egun exhales long foul breaths .

He stands up and looks at his body , half naked while revealing his masculinity . While his armament with skulls hanging around his waist — Overlord Skull Armament , reflects the beauty of an independent world .

"I have already reached 22 year old and am a dignified Quasi - Paragon Level Sacred Lord "

He looks at his right palm , slowly clenching his fingers into a fist .

"Before the age of 25 , if I manage to become a Divine King , I will aim for age 30 to become a Wisdom Sage "

He slowly smirks , his eyes full of ambition . 

It has been 22 years already since he has come to this mysterious and unfamiliar world , with nothing but his previous life memory.

"I don't know what happened before I came to this world and why i even came to this world but the only thing I can remember was those beautiful shower of lights falling and —"

Suddenly his head hurts , causing him to feel torturous pain that torments his soul .

"And — and what ? "

He grits his teeth , not knowing what is going on ?

He can't clearly remember from where he came , what his origin is and for what he was brought to this world ?

The only thing he knows is , he died because of some celestial phenomenon that transpired through unknown reason .

"Although I don't have recollection of my memory about my past life but that does not matter for I shall create new memory of myself in this new world "

He frowned deeply and his voice was full of domineering spirit.

"Clan War is about to take place after six month so I must prepare myself "

Clan War is a sacred festival held by immortals and saints every once a year in order to display the superiority between talents from different Immortal Lineage and Dao Heritage .

Every year , Ancient Wudi Clan has been the one to stand on the peak of the Clan War Ranking , displaying their sovereignty over other Clans .

Since Clan War is a battle amongst only Clan and not Sect or Kingdom , only 'Clan' can participate and other powerhouses are forbidden.

Amongst all Nine Heaven , the strongest Clan acknowledged by everyone is Ancient Wudi.

"As the young lord of the Clan , I must show everyone that I am not a powerhouse to be messed with "

With a light smile , Wudi Egun smiles to himself. 

His father , the Clan Leader , is in seclusion for the last ten years and has yet to come out .

The last time he saw his father , his father was unfathomable and very close to Immortality .

There is rumor going around that when the Clan Leader comes out of his seclusion , that will be the birth of True Immortal !! 

In the entire clan , other than ancestors of the family , no one is a match for his father which also gives him absolute stability .

"I wonder when I will become an Immortal ?"

He sighed deeply , shaking his head he once again sighes .

In the world of Immortal and Saint , everyone wants to become a True Immortal and live forever .

But only few can achieve such unreachable dreams , proving how hard and arduous the path to immortality truly is .

"I will leave for now and visit Fragrance Pavilion , it will help me refresh my mood "

Thinking about the Fragrance Pavilion , he can't help but chuckle .

After that he leaves the divine hall and first heads for his abode .

His abode was very spacious and arresting , full of magnificent furniture and ancient relics followed by divine paintings all over the wall .

Taking a shower , he was without his Overlord Skull Armament .

Actually Overlord Skull Armament is a broken Immortal Armament once used by his ancestor during his youth .

It is said that this ancestor was famous all across the world and was recruited by an Ancient Immortal Lineage.

But during a heaven defying battle , the armament received permanent damage that caused the Immortal Power brimming within this armament to fall and wither .

Of course , even when this armament is only a broken Immortal Armament , it still is an upper - world artifact that can't be put on the same level as a lower - world .

After drying his body with a clean towel , he admires his reflection in the wall mirror and feels proud .

"I don't know how many of you are there in this world but I am sure that no one is handsome more than me "

Of course , after being born with such formidable status and position , he has this arrogance ingrained in his bones which only a superior prominence can have with them .

"Let's leave for now "

He arches his chest up and leaves the hall but soon at the hallway , he meets with someone he knows .

This is a middle aged elder of the clan named Wudi Yu , one of the dignified powerhouses of the clan .

He wears a long azure robe where dragon and phoenix dances , high heaven seems to be on his palm while the entire world seems to be nothing but dust in his arrogant eyes .

He is tall and very dangerous , at a single glance and he can even annihilate so called Immortals .

His blade-like brows and sword-like eyes , full of majestic aura and coldness, causes even the likes of Immortal King and Ancient Saints to retreat .

Following him are a few celestial knights of the family , brimming with endless celestial power .

"Clan Elder Yu , it is pleasant to see you here "

Wudi Egun decides to greet Elder Wu so he does not waste his breath and greets him .

"Young lord Egun , sigh , why are you all alone ?"

Elder Wu looks at Wudi Egun and notices that he has no one to follow , so he decides to ask .

"You know right , I don't like keeping a bunch of people with me who will follow me wherever I go ?"

A helpless smile appears on Wudi Egun and shakes his head .

Elder Wu nods his head , not finding anything odd .

And even so , who would dare to harm their Young Lord in their own territory ?

"By the way , Elder Wu , I see that you are feeling tension for some reason . Did something happen ?"

Usually Elder Wu would emanate a threatening aura around him but now , although he looks dangerous, he cannot find that threatening aura about him .

Of course , he became curious as to why the clan elder was acting that way .

"Young Lord is truly insightful to even see through this oldman's mood , usually a Sacred Lord like you can't see through me "

Sigh*

Clan Elder Yu once again becomes exposed , revealing that he is truly going through some stress .

"We have received a news concerning our clan's family branch that has now managed to cause havoc like a wildfire"

"Oh , what news ?"

Wudi Egun was genuinely curious , like a little child , his attention was fully given to Elder Wu .

Seeing how Wudi Egun was reacting , Elder Wu fell deeply in his own world .

After a while he opens his mouth and his voice escapes .

"From our Family Branch entitled Oni , a young genius is said to have emerged "

"A young genius ? Isn't that a good thing ?"

Wudi Egun smiles and laughs , was the elder worried about such a trivial matter ?

Geniuses emerging in their family is naturally an auspicious occasion for them worth celebrating.

And as the future clan leader , Wudi Egun is destined to rule over those geniuses . Everyone will naturally be under his command , his command shall be the golden rule that can't be defied or flaunted by anyone .

"What's the matter , elder is making fuss over such little thing "

Wudi Egun shakes his head and feels funny on how Elder Wu was overreacting.

Elder Wu silently observes Wudi Egun for a while before opening his mouth .

"I don't know if it is auspicious or ominous but I do know that this is a threat to you and your ascension for the position of clan leader "

"Hmm "

Wudi Egun does not show any unnatural response to what Elder Wu said to him .

He only smiles widely and does not say anything , it's as if he was clueless about the whole situation.

"I don't know if young lord is playing clueless or is naturally unaware of the current situation but I do know that your probability of becoming leader of the clan has now become something uncertain "

Elder Wu is not a new born child who has not seen the world . He is an old monster who has lived for ages , even survived many Epochs and has seen many historical events .

So he naturally is aware of the hidden agenda between the main family branch .

Although not many know about the secret of Ancient Wudi's main family, he is one of few who is aware of what is going on with the main family .

When young lord Wudi Egun was just born , he was born with an otherworldly talent for the Dao , his talent even surpassed those direct descendants from Ancient Immortal Families and Supreme Dao Lineage .

When Wudi Egun was just three years old , his wisdom was already on par with Dao Masters , this was an extremely terrifying phenomena for heaven .

Wudi Egun is the young lord of the family , meaning that there are other lords too in the family who are Wudi Egun's siblings .

When Wudi Egun was 7 years old , the Clan Leader announced that the eldest lord of the family would become the Successor for the clan leader's position.

But strangely enough , the eldest lord who was known for his unparalleled talent fell to become a cripple just within a few days after the announcement.

This didn't stop there , this kept on happening until the young lord Wudi Egun became the successor.

Strangely enough , there were lots of events that kept on happening even after he became the young lord of the clan but they were all targeted to his siblings.

This in return caused Clan Leader to send those descendants to their mother's family branch , as a result this helped Wudi Egun to clear his path for the ascension.

"Elder Wu , don't look at me as if I am a monster who is thirsty for his own blood ?"

"It truly is causing me to cry "

Wudi Egun slyly reveals his teeth after a wide smile , not even doing his best to hide his crime .

"Young lord , although I as an elder and always there to pledge my loyalty to the Clan Leader of the family , that does not mean I will just stand there while my family is collapsing because of internal affairs "

"So please be careful "

Elder Wu does not stay there and leaves , leaving Wudi Egun all alone .

As for Wudi Egun , he turns to look at the sky from the hallway , reflecting the sky in his eyes .

"Why can't you just obediently stay in your house and play doll house with your family ?"

"Really , it's making me sick "

Although Wudi Egun does not seem like someone to scheme and calculate others, in actuality , he is a very dangerous man with great ambition to rule over the world .

"Because you are my brother , I didn't want to kill you but really , you truly have to force me right ?"

He shakes his head and can't help but laugh sinisterly , his evil laughter was both creepy and soul chilling .

His eyes turn dark and hallowed , devoid of everything . His aura was that of Immortal who has nothing to do with the mortal world and his attitude was deceitful.

"It looks like I need to visit you , big brother"

….

Oni , one of many family branches of Ancient Wudi Clan , located at the southern part of the Untreated Ancient City .

The small part located at the southern part of Untreated Ancient City has many enclaves , one of those territories is called Oni Territory .

Oni Territory is ruled by a Territory Lord also known as Family Branch Leader .

The current leader of the Oni is Wudi Meng , a powerful ancient lord that has lived for more than tens of eras .

And most of all Oni is Wudi Shi's family , the first wife of Wudi Tianyang, the Clan Leader of Ancient Wudi .

The territory is rising and flourishing with utmost prosperity , the man and the sky seem to be one and connected by a mysterious thread .

Tall ancient buildings and streets have existed since ancient times , displaying the wondrous scenic beauty of history .

Inside the territory lord's mansion , there are Wudi Family's young generations training , playing and goofing around .

The harmonious atmosphere was very envious , not even a peaceful world where no war and carnage wouldn't be as beautiful as this land .

"Eldest Lord , here is a towel for you . Please clean yourself "

Inside a divine hall , a young man hands a clean towel to Wudi Sheng who was meditating.

The divine hall has formations installed , each formation capable of supporting dao cultivation and enlightenment.

Wudi Sheng is a young man in his early 27's , handsome and very charming .

His stature is that of celestial while his appearance even transcends the mortal world , not of this tainted world.

With a gentle smile on his unparalleled handsome face , he turns to look at Wudi Yan , his servant who is in his early 20 .

" Little brother Yan , thank you for the towel "

His voice was soft and very smooth. Once someone listens to his spellbinding voice , no one can set themselves free from his devilish magic .

The young Wudi Yan wearing a servant's outfit looks at Wudi Sheng full of admiration in his eyes .

" Eldest lord , you are so otherworldly"

In his eyes , Wudi Sheng was dazzling and extremely magnificent , a true man amongst all men !!

"Hehe"

Wudi Sheng just chuckles lightly , not minding Wudi Yan's admiring gaze .

He cleans himself with the towel and waves his sleeve , completely covering himself with a long golden robe where the dragon seems to come alive.

His long hem flutters and his whole person transcends heaven .

He walks out of the divine hall and enters the hallway where many members of the Wudi Family are passing by .

Beautiful maids and powerful servants can be seen everywhere .

Beautiful fairies with heaven defying beauty and unparalleled talents of the family .

He looks around and sighs deeply , shaking his head and he starts heading toward the backyard where a beautiful flowerbed is decorated .

The flower covers more than fifty meters of land , completely beautifying the garden .

There is a small gazebo where tables and chairs are placed already , with tea and cups served.

Just like usual , he rests on the chair and gracefully brews himself a tea .

The fragrance with a hint of spirituality escapes while dragon roar constantly infiltrates the void .

It has become his habit to follow such a routine .

After he was forced to become a cripple , he has always lived his life the same as a mortal .

The only difference between him and the mortal is that he has a much more relaxing and luxurious life .

Only he knows how painful his life was until he encountered a creation .

Yes , he encountered the creation of a supreme ancient master when he visited his family's ancestral grave .

Legacy of his ancestor and remnant spirit of a divine beast !!

One of his ancestors left a legacy for his descendant but only Wudi Sheng was lucky enough to encounter the legacy .

The legacy is called Demon God Transformation Art , a supreme body refining technique that defies the order of heaven and goes against heaven himself .

While the remnant of the divine spirit is called Crimson Lord , remnant spirit of a True Dragon from the past .

It seems that during the battle between Demon God Wudi Yao and the Crimson Lord who is actually a True Dragon , although Demon God Wudi Yao died, he used all his remaining strength to seal the spirit of Crimson Lord with him .

"Sigh * I don't understand why you humans always like to be carefree ? "

A divine voice of a True Dragon rings in his head , Wudi Sheng only smiles and does not answer .

"Why don't you go around and cause havoc in this world ? Don't you humans pursue power and strength ?"

Crimson Lord, who is now a small remnant of a True Dragon, opens his jaw and complains .

He is currently an ethereal and not of this world where living beings exist . Although his body is small and almost transparent , one can't help but admire his crimson scales and long snake-like body with a pair of deer horns .

Those ferocious sharp claws can even swiftly split the sky while the majestic aura is enough to scare the ghost .

"What are you talking about ? Why would we humans even go around to rampage the world without any proper reason ?"

Wudi Sheng was truly baffled by how the Crimson Lord has perception over humans .

"I mean , when I was still alive , you human would just out of nowhere , declares war on everyone just for your personal benefits "

Crimson Lord frowns and scratches his head .

"Am I wrong to assume that you humans are greedy bastards ?"

Wudi Sheng's nose twists when he hears such blatant disdain from the Crimson Lord , feeling conflict in his heart on what to say .

With Demon God Transformation Art that is a genuine True Divine Body Refinement Art , although he has recovered his meridians and spiritual roots , he still has not recovered his previous original cultivation.

But within just three days , he has already achieved the Spiritual Warrior Realm . The effect of this divine art is something that can't be defined or described by a few words .

As for this Crimson Lord , during his peak , he was a genuine Dragon Saint who once reigned over his era and became the lord of Dragon Realm albeit not counting those hidden masters that normally do not reveal themselves.

"Hey Sheng boy , why don't you give me those Heavenly Dao Stones once more so I can recover bit of my cultivation "

Crimson Lord tries to ask Heavenly Dao Stones from Wudi Sheng but Wudi Sheng does not know how he should react .

Although their family has tons of Heavenly Dao Stones, he has no authority over the access of Heavenly Dao Stones.

He only gave Crimson Lord those Heavenly Dao Stones that were in his possession so how can he give more .

And more than that , it has only been three days yet this Crimson Lord has already devoured more than ten thousand Heavenly Dao Stones .

One must know that Heavenly Dao Stones are not only currency in Heaven but also cultivation resources that help one achieve Dao Enlightenment .

Yet even after devouring so much , Crimson Lord only recovered the strength of Divine King Realm .

Just thinking about it , his heart aches with pain . After all , Heavenly Dao Stones are only for those above the Transcendent Realm .

"I have no more Heavenly Dao Stones so please spare me "

Wudi Egun solemnly opens his mouth while his attitude remains simple yet ambivalent.

"You are too parsimonious with your Dao Spirit , how can you even think of getting anything in return if you don't invest now ?"

"Hehe"

Wudi Sheng has nothing to say after sensing discontent from the Crimson Lord .

But when he was busy with himself , suddenly he heard footsteps closing the distance .

The leaf that has fallen down and wither gets crunched by those powerful steps while the familiar aura continues to approach him .

Turning his head , he sees a familiar face led by the elders of the family .

Elder Wudi Qi who is a dignified elder of the family , with a composed and distinguished attitude , walks shoulder to shoulder with a young man in his early 22 .

Elder Qi is tall and has a regal robe with mythical Dao reciting divine chants . His mere presence commands authority and respect , beneath him is the heavenly dao of the world and above him is the supreme power of god and celestials .

"Young lord Wudi , if you had informed us of your visit before , we could have prepared a banquet for you "

The dignified voice of Elder Qi makes anyone submit to his authority .

"Hm , no need . I am here only to pay visit to my eldest brother "

Wudi Egun as always , has his upper body naked while his Overlord Skull Armament fully on display .

Arriving at the gazebo , Wudi Egun and Elder Qi meet with Wudi Sheng .

When Wudi Sheng sees Wudi Egun , his heart palpitates for a reason , although there was resentment for this brother of his but he does not display any sign of abnormalities.

Instead , Wudi Sheng stands up and politely cups his fist toward Elder Qi and humbly greets him .

"This junior greets the elder "

"Hm "

Elder Qi nods his head and opens his mouth .

"Eldest lord Wudi , since young lord has come to specially visit you , why not take your time reminiscing the past "

"This oldman will not bother you two "

Saying so , he asked for a leave to Wudi Egun and Wudi Sheng before leaving them alone .

"Eldest brother , how have you been all this time ? Did you miss your little brother , I don't know about you but I did miss you a lot "

Wudi Egun playfully smiles and opens his mouth , no sincerity can be found within what he says .

Wudi Sheng on the other hand slowly sits on his chair and frowns , glaring at Wudi Egun with great vigilance.

Even the Crimson Lord within his soul becomes cautious of Wudi Egun .

Although Wudi Egun does not know what is going on with Wudi Sheng, he did not mind the lack of hospitality .

He unhurriedly rests on a free chair and brews himself a tea .

"Why have you come here ?"

Wudi Sheng's sharp gaze was penetrating and had fatal lethality but Wudi Egun did not mind such hostility.

"Eldest brother is truly hurting this fragile heart of mine , you know right how soft I am ?"

Wudi Egun slowly sips his tea after brewing , completely ignoring his brother's feelings .

"I don't know about how fragile your heart is but I do know that if you had a heart with you , that would be the most indestructible object in whole universe "

" Ouch , that truly hurt me more "

Wudi Egun clicks his tongue and leisurely smiles , displaying how indifferent he is toward his brother.

"After poisoning your own brother , do you really think that there is something between me and you ?"

Wudi Sheng was ferocious but in such a situation where his position is unstable and even his cultivation has drifted away from his original strength , he dare not neglect his situation.

Becoming thoughtless will only give Wudi Egun an opportunity to make his move against him in a righteous way , hence his disadvantage.

"Huff "

Wudi Egun shakes his head and meets his eyes with Wudi Sheng , a tranquility that is creepier than anything takes over .

Softly , Wudi Egun reminds Wudi Sheng about some important things .

"Firstly , brother , poisoning you was my own strength during my weakness which means that I did not harm you by trickery or scheme . Instead , it was your lack of insight that caused you to fall in what you are right now "

"You "

Wudi Sheng can't believe how Wudi Egun was justifying his heinous act in such a convincing way , saying that his scheme was not a trick or dirty play but instead part of his strength .

"Despite coming from our bloodline , how can you even have the intention of harming your own kin ?"

Wudi Sheng bites his lower lips and argues with Wudi Egun , demanding an answer .

"Isn't our family motto to always stay united so why did you attack your own siblings ? Did you not feel any guilt doing that ?"

His eyes widens and a dangerous aura leaks through his body , threatening Wudi Egun to tear him into pieces .

"Brother don't glare at me like that , I am feeling scared of such dangerous glare "

Wudi Egun reveals his teeth and behaves in a timid way , infuriating Wudi Sheng more than ever .

"As for harming my siblings ?"

Wudi Egun shakes his head and corrects his brother's misunderstanding .

"Do you think that when I poisoned you and others , our father with his unfathomable cultivation did not notice such a small strategy executed by me ?"

"Despite our father being aware of what was going on , he chose to close his eyes "

"What does that mean ?"

Wudi Egun indifferently shrugs his shoulders while leaving Wudi Sheng deeply in confusion , contemplating the whole situation.

"That means he indirectly approved of my strategy and accepted me as his official heir despite not saying anything by himself "

"This— this isn't true "

Wudi Sheng shakes his head and stops Wudi Egun , causing Wudi Egun to arch his right brow upward and become curious .

"How so ? Please elaborate me with full details "

Wudi Sheng unhurriedly and gracefully rested his right hand on the table and started to tap his finger .

"Although he closed his eyes during your scheme , it just means that he didn't want to punish you and wanted to give you an opportunity to emend your mistake "

"He was just too softhearted toward you to not punish you for your crime , that's all "

"Brother , you have still been given a chance to emend and correct your flaws "

"Huh ?"

Wudi Egun scratches his head and blinks his eyes , tightens his brows and looks at his eldest brother once more .

"—"

He was silent for a long time , no words coming out of his mouth .

This bitch , he is too naive !!

He shakes his head and does not continue the argument , instead he slowly stands up from his position and turns his back on Wudi Sheng .

Slowly he leaves a last warning to his eldest brother .

"Brother , heed my advice"

"You can oppose a king , go up against a conqueror and even win against a dominator "

"You may achieve nirvana and come back to life after a true rebirth "

"I don't know how you have managed to risen back and become a phoenix"

" But please , never cross path with me for I am very dangerous "

"As much as possible , I always like to restrain myself from killing but once I start to kill , I will not show any mercy on you "

Wudi Egun turns to look at Wudi Sheng for the last time and smiles .

"Don't get on my way and my dream to rule over this world , I advise you kindly "

With that Wudi Egun leaves , traveling void and space .

Looking at the disappearing silhouette , Wudi Sheng frowns deeply .

"What do you think of my brother ?"

He decides to ask Crimson Lord about what his opinion is on his brother.

"—"

Crimson Lord does not evaluate all of sudden but waits for a long time and finally opens his jaw .

"— dangerous , if this monster is whom you want to win against , I will tell you , you have long way to go "

"Because he is a True Demon in human skin "
