Transmigration of Shams: The Legendary Cultivator

Shams is the only son of Asma and Tata.

They lived in such an old and dilapidated small house made of small pieces of trashed metals and wood. It barely can be considered a house.

Despite the life of a poverty-stricken family, such happiness and content filled the household.

The parents of Shams prayed fervently every day and night for their son's success and long health.

Even though Shams' parents were both old and sickly. He never failed to serve his parents every day. His life revolved around his parents. Even he is in his 30's, he did not settle down with any woman because of his promise to serve his parents.

There was always a smile on his face that he never failed to show towards his parents. He was indeed a ray of light for his parents.

Then one tragic night came,

A landslide!

…

…

The entire area of the residence of Shams and his family fell victim to such tragic fate.

Immediately, Shams did not hold back nor think twice in covering his parents from the danger that they are about to face. In his tight embrace, he covered his parents with a blanket and used his body as their shield.

"Ma! Pa!" screamed by Shams.

"Ahhhhh!"

Screams and terror could be heard everywhere.

Though, even in the last breath of his parents, their only words were their fervent prayer for their loving son.

Shams is embracing his parents in trying to cover them from danger but... it was not enough.

It did not prevent him to lose his own parents.

…

…

Darkness ...

Numbness ...

Nothingness ...

A complete deafening Silence was surrounding Shams.

As time passed by,

Which felt like forever ...

...

...

Shams tried to open his eyes and saw an unfamiliar face holding him.

But he has no ability to speak. He could see everything around him and then he realized he is being carried within the embrace of a woman.

He could feel his head hitting against something bouncing and soft.

'Maybe this is just a dream, such a beautiful woman!' Shams said to himself looking at the face of such godly beauty.

Tears kept falling on his cheeks from someone else's eyes.

Such warm tears coming from the escaping woman.

'Why are you crying? Don't cry, my parents told me I am a ray of light so let me shine some ray of light towards you.' Further said by Shams through his mind.

Then, it dawned on him that he is in the body of an infant.

'What's with these tiny hands? Definitely, this is just a dream!' Shams could not believe that he is in such tiny body.

Curiosity kicked in as he realizes that they are being pursued.

Burning houses and smoke everywhere.

It felt like he was in a dynasty era where the buildings and houses are made of ancient architecture.

'It seems that chaos has its way in following me.' Shams thought as he contemplated.

The woman got shot by poisoned shurikens at her back but it did not hinder her from keep on moving.

Unfortunately, she tripped and quickly turned to avoid Shams from getting hurt.

Gladly, she was quick enough to move and tried to land on her own arm and shoulders.

- Thud -

Even getting shot by a poisoned dagger and tripping badly, it did not stop her nor think of giving up.

With the thought of her child's safety, it gave her extra strength.

Until a dead end …

…

-Panting-

-Panting-

"You have nowhere to go! Just give up and accept your fate!" said by the assassins wearing black suits with their sharp weapons in their hand.

A desperate plea for a miracle but there was none.

So she placed Shams on top of a nearby barrel and tightly covered him.

"I am sorry, my son! You have to live life alone…" Then tears kept falling dripping on Shams' cheeks.

Shams' new biological mother faced the assassins with so much courage and took out a dagger.

"I will not let any of you harm my son!" declared by the desperate mother.

The assassins were too confident and mocked at her futile attempt.

There were exchanges of blows and in their surprise that the wounded woman could still block and evade their strikes against her.

It may seem that they have underestimated her too much and started to take it seriously.

Knowing that she is poisoned, such a display of courage and strength beholds in front of them.

"Howling Slash!" desperate attempt of a fearless mother.

>>

A technique where it executes powerful multiple strikes in one move.

...

A powerful move but her condition weakened the strength and power of the technique.

Which made it easy for the assassins to do their own technique swiftly.

"Mirror Walk!" executed together by the assassins creating multiple images that made their opponent miss.

>>

A technique where the person could create multiple images of oneself which projects an illusion to its target.

...

Confused and desperate …

Failed to block each attack made her fall to the ground.

Spitting blood and prayed for a miracle even if it is for her innocent child.

Looking at the bright full moon… A desperate plea, "Please! Even just my son..."

Before she received the last blow that will end her life,

Two men wearing large straw hat intervened.

They were quicker and stronger.

In no time they killed the assassins with their long sword.

"Gaah!" exclaimed by the assassins while gushing blood out of their mouth with their guts spilling on the ground.

Bodies of the assassins drowning in their own blood.

Immediately one of the strange men caught the wounded woman before it fell to the ground completely.

"Miss!" uttered by the man.

"M-y son…please ... look after him…" last words of the supposed new mother of Shams.

Her eyes begged while her life was hanging on a thread.

"We will look after him! I promise!" reassuring the dying woman in his arms.

As tears and blood fell, her life ended at that moment.

He covered the body with his white cape.

Indeed a horrendous sight.

Sympathy was not enough to erase the nightmare and hellish night that occurred.

…

"Impossible!" exclaimed by the other man while looking at Shams' innocent infant body.

"Master Wushu?" said by the disciple.

He ran to his master's side and checked what made his master react in such amusement.

Both became astonished by the massive ki surrounding the infant.

"H-how?" the disciple, who has the ability also to see the ki surrounding the infant, asked his master.

"It seems that my brother was right. A phenomenon that will change our history." The master looked around before performing a special skill that only a few can do. "Feilong, make sure no one interrupts."

"Yes, master!" Feilong's firm response to his master.

A surge of energy surrounding Master Wushu started to move towards the infant and it envelopes the entire body of Shams.

"Mirage!" uttered by Master Wushu.

>>

A technique that camouflages oneself or an intended target by releasing a massive amount of energy.

...

Master Wushu intended to hide the presence of Shams so they could escape without a trace from the enemies.

Moments after…

Another group of assassins arrived and released poisoned shurikens.

Fortunately, Feilong was quick enough to block all shurikens that were thrown his way.

Shams looked at the old man trying to carry him.

'Who is this guy now? Wait! Am I being passed around? Darn it! All I can remember was covering my parents and now I am in some weird dream of an old action movie. With people dying all over the place.' Thought by Shams while looking at Master Wushu curiously.

Master Wushu carefully held Shams within his arms with only his left arm while his right hand is holding a sword with an emerald dragon symbol stacked on its handle.

"Move aside, Feilong!" instructed by Master Wushu to his disciple as he attempts to eliminate all assassin in one swing.

"Wind Cutter!"

>>

A sword technique that varies in power and precision based on its executioner. The stronger and more powerful the executioner then more precise and lethal it becomes.

...

The assassins were surprised that as soon as Feilong moved aside, they saw a strong wind coming on their way, and then everything just went black for them.

Heads of all the assassins were rolling down to the ground as blood spurted all over the place.

"Let's go!" Master Wushu commanded his disciple to follow him.

Immediately the duo escaped swiftly,

Away from the chaos and havoc that ruined the entire town.

No words were enough to describe such a drastic tragedy that enveloped the entire town.

From a distance, after running quickly and escaping from the evil eyes of those who brought death and destruction right before their eyes, they stood at the view of a burning town.

Screams…

Fire…

Smoke…

And the smell of death became such a horrifying scene to behold…

"Master… Did we do the right thing? Aren't we putting the school in entire danger if the Golden Dragon Sect finds out that we intervened?" a clear tone of worry was apparent in Feilong's voice.

"It is the only choice we have. We need to correct the mistake that my brother did. My brother caused this annihilation to the entire silver wolf clan. I cannot live another day knowing that I could have saved even a single life…

Living in regret is the worst thing that can happen to a man. I refuse to live that life!" Master Wu Shu explained to his disciple with such wisdom in his word and seriousness in his face.

While the two conversed,

Shams thought that what if everything may not be a dream.

That he lost his parents in a tragic fate …

And lost his new parent in another tragic fate …

Then all the pain and misery dawned on him like a shock into his heart.

-Waaaa!!!!!-

Immediately Master Wushu turned his attention towards Shams who is crying loudly.

"Master, we need to leave before someone else notices us! Now, that the infant is crying. It may draw attention!" said by Feilong.

"This infant was smiling all throughout. I almost thought something is wrong with this one. Glad to know, it knows how to cry! You are right! We better leave now."

The night ended was filled with terror and bloody death.

As the moon witnessed such a horrific night.
