A couple of years ago, a baby fell down from the sky like a meteorite.
Normally that wouldn't have raised much eyebrows, but the baby was floating in the middle of a bubble-like barrier formation so strong that even the strongest cultivator in the continent couldn't even put a single scratch on it.
And obviously, the imperial family quickly stored the baby inside their private vault. It was later discovered that anyone under the age of 15 years old could benefit greatly by cultivating next to the barrier. Their cultivation improved by 5 times.
The Emperor had many children under the age of 15. So the imperial family benefited greatly from that unique formation.
However, after 6 years, the baby was obviously no longer a baby anymore, he was a little boy. Well, he looked about 2 years younger than a normal 6 year old, but he still grew.
By the time the little boy's skin touched the formation, the bubble-like barrier finally broke on its own. Of course, a few expects in the royal palace were called in to analyse the situation.
Later, it was discovered that the Qi around the little boy did not benefit anyone anymore. But there was another discovery. The boy had the best physical constitution followed by the most unique and powerful bloodline to ever exist.
However, no one could identify them without awakening the bloodline nor activating the physical constitution. And to awaken them, the little boy had to become a cultivator.
Unfortunately for the imperial family who wanted to use the boy as their tool, the little boy had a severely damaged soul and an undeveloped mind. And so, they spent millions of spirit stones buying medicinal herbs trying to heal his soul. One prince even tried to take over the boy's body but he instantly died upon attempt.
After 4 years of trying to use the boy for their own benefits, they finally gave up. They ordered one of the guards who always watch over the private vault to take the boy out of the Royal Palace and kill the boy in private.
Unbeknownst to the guard, one of the guards who always took the night duty stealthily followed behind him. However, he soon found out when he tried to cut the boy's head off.
"Are you really gonna kill a child, Senior Bo?" said a cold female voice coming from the darkness. Suddenly, a woman with a well-built body, tan skin, with blood red hair emerged where the voice came from.
At first Senior Bo was startled, but after identifying the other party, he calmed down and said, "Ah, Fairy Su Meiqi. Did you follow me here?"
Seeing Senior looking at her with a lecherous expression, Su Meiqi frowned in disgust and said, "You're as disgusting as ever, Bo Kong. Anyways, it doesn't matter since you'll die here anyways."
"Haha… Hahahahahahaha!" Bo Kong could only laugh after hearing that statement. He could tell that she wasn't joking at all, as he could feel a killing intent clearly. But he still found the situation pretty funny.
"While it's true that a True Spirit Realm cultivator can kill an Earth Spirit Realm cultivator. That only works when it's a sneak attack, or when you have better cultivation techniques. But you have neither." said Bo Kong after laughing for a few moments.
"OH about that, I've been training privately ever since the imperial family decided to use the baby boy for their own benefits." said Su Meiqi. Her words were followed by the release of a dense Profound Qi, revealing her true cultivation base.
"H-Heaven… Heavenly Spirit Realm!?" Bo Kong was so shocked that he didn't notice when Su Meiqi pulled out her sword and cut off his head. He died before he knew it. His body hit the ground with a thud along with his head.
Su Meiqi quickly withdrew her cultivation base and stored her sword inside her Storage Pouch and approached the boy lying in the ground next to the dead body of Bo Kong.
She knelt down and lifted his head placing it on her thighs and gently brushed his chick. Su Meiqi smiled before saying, "I've trained almost 10 years for this opportunity. You're safe now, I won't let anyone harm you anymore."
For the first time in 10 years, the boy felt warmth. He felt many more emotions that weren't negative. And so, he cried. He cried like a baby. He moved his body on his own for the first time and tightly grabbed onto her robes.
The next day, Su Meiqi was marked as a criminal who robbed the imperial family's treasure. Her bounty went over 10 million Spirit stones. However, since she planned for a decade, no one knew where she went.
