A Failure's hopeful Journey
Chapter 348: Legend.
You Xi Wang sat in the void and began his cultivation. While outside the cave You Zhichi cast a few more level-nine isolation arrays. You Zhen Long asked, "Chi'er what are you doing? Did he not cast a barrier already?"
Griffin Tallus said, "What do you understand? The people here can all see through a common barrier. She just wants him to be safe."
You Zhichi shook her head and said, "I just do not want to hear his screams. I am making sure of that only."
The two people were surprised and nodded. The process of re-casting your bones was not something that could be passed through without making a sound. You Zhen Long asked Griffin Tallus through telepathic communication, "What do you think are his chances?"
The lady replied calmly, "He is a strong child but I have never seen anyone crossing two major Nirvana realms in one go and what is even more ridiculous is how he plans to use the energy of the heavenly lightning. He is underestimating the reconstruction process, however, even if we tell him he will not stop. I just hope he has all the things planned for."
You Zhen Long nodded. He cast a gaze upon the girl in front of him who was casting barriers upon barriers, trying to cover up her worries with a calm expression on her face. The truth was that You Zhichi had mastered the art of muting her emotions. She would switch them off every time her brother was in a plight.
The old man sighed and shook his head. He mumbled, "Reminds me of the legend I heard back in my childhood."
You Zhichi asked, "What legend, grandpa?"
She called him grandpa subconsciously. She did not realize that the man smiled as he heard this address, he replied, "The legend of our family martial spirit."
You Zhichi snapped out of her daze and she asked him, "Can you tell me about it, grandpa?"
The old man nodded and said, "Come, we take a sit first."
Griffin Tallus was also interested and sat followed the two of them. You Zhen Long had them sit in the main hall of the mansion and said as he stared at the wall, "I was a child, I do not remember the age I was. However, what I heard from my great grandfather, made me what I am today.
The spirit of the war god, the perfect spirit to go to war with, was not an innate blessing of the family but it was forged. The founder of the family saw that a lot of people all over the world were blessed with martial spirits. He was very strong when he was alive, however, the lack of a martial spirit made him lag behind a bit.
This feeling of just an inch away from being called an elite annoyed him. So he set out of the family with a few of his people, they traveled all over the world and fought with all the dark dwellers. As their strength grew, it also created a name for them among the elites. He began to interact with people and slowly gathered information about everything was related to martial spirits.
One time during his travels, he saw a dark dweller take out a martial spirit. This spirit surprised him because martial spirits can never be used by the dark dwellers. He managed to capture that dark dweller and subdued him. Then he began to interrogate him about the spirit.
The dark dweller answered him that a martial spirit is a belief as long as the belief was strong anyone can have a martial spirit."
Griffin Tallus said, "Are you probably trying to say that a martial spirit is based on a belief? Are you trying to fool us, if that was true would the whole world not have awakened it?" she snorted.
You Zhen Long said, "You should not listen if you do not have patience."
Griffin Tallus wanted to retort but she stopped herself. The old man continued, "The news the founder got from the dark dweller was nothing but for naught. He was aware that everyone in the world would believe that they were the strongest and once they meet someone stronger, which is inevitable, their fickle belief will shatter. This will break the path of their cultivation as well.
His search came to a point of stagnation, and then a war between the light and dark erupted. He was called over by the council and the man joined the war. It was said that on the battlefield, he was like a god. He would kill all his enemies and protect those on his side. His sword was the bane of his enemies and his strong back was the boon of his allies.
He rallied the people with his unrelenting spirit, his wisdom, and his simplicity. After the first half of the war, people had begun to call him, The god of war. This achievement made him happy but at the same time, stabbed deeper in his heart. As the founder of the family, he did not know how his successors will carry on.
The old family that exiled the founder had suffered great losses in the war and thus came over to take control of the You family. The founder was enraged and picking p his sword he fought with the intruders. After a ten-day-long battle, he emerged victorious, stained with blood and wounds all over his body.
The family that exiled him had the name of Wu, the character for war. That person was the last of the family, just before our old man was to slay him, the martial spirit in the victim's body erupted.
Martial spirits are an existence none can describe. The spirit had a conversation with the founder, asking him to spare his host. The founder then proposed a condition, the condition was to bless our family with a martial spirit.
The spirit did not agree but said that with the wounds accumulated over his lifetime, the old man will not suffer, so the spirit gave him a choice, either he could live longer, or he could make an audience with the spirit king."
Griffin Tallus stood up on her feet and asked, "The spirit king? The god of spirits in the mortal realm?"
You Zhen Long nodded, "Yes."
The Spirit King was an existence that none could perceive. It was said that destroying the world was as easy as snapping its fingers. However, spirits needed hosts to live through, thus the cooperation.
You Zhen Long continued. "The founder choose the latter and had an audience. He said to the spirit king that he has spent his lifetime fighting wars. The spirit is an omnipotent existence they said, he nodded when the old man said this. The next thing the old man asked was. I wish to be a spirit."
Griffin Talus did not say anything but the look of disbelief on her face was enough to say it all. You Zhichi was the same. You Zhen Long said, "The spirit king agreed and asked the founder to choose a host and the old man took his unborn grandson. The third generation of the family woke up the spirit of the war god and then they left behind the records to help the future generations.
Once a spirit chooses a host, the spirit will move forward to the others in the family, however, it will never be conscious until it is the last member of the family."
You Zhen Long had a high sense of admiration in his eyes as he recited the legend. You Zhichi did not know what to say but her fist was clenched from the excitement, while her hair stood up from the shivers.
Griffin Tallus said, "Indeed a god, your founder was. Why did you say that Xiao Wang reminds you of him?"
You Zhen Long smiled and said, "The founder is said to have jumped through the Nirvana rebirth two stages at once."
The two people were shocked. They woke up when they heard a grunt in their ears, that voice belonged to You Xi Wang as he was recasting his bones below.
