A few hours later.
In the City Lord's mansion.
Two men were sitting facing each other, having a serious conversation.
They were Xiao Ding and Hei Yun, the City Lord of Heiyun City.
Offering a cup of spiritual tea in front of Xiao Ding, Hei Yan said,
"I don't know why Daoist Xiao is here in the City Lord's mansion?"
Xiao Ding took a sip of the spiritual tea and nodded after tasting it.
"I didn't expect City Lord Hei to have such high attainment in the art of tea. Truly marvelous."
Instead of answering directly, Xiao Ding praised Hei Yan's tea.
"Haha… Daoist Xiao, you flatter me too much. Although this seat has some attainment, I dare not be arrogant in front of you."
Shaking his head, Hei Yan said with a friendly smile on his face.
"Indeed, City Lord, I have heard you are modest."
"However, I need a favor from the City Lord. May I?"
Placing the tea cup back on the jade table, Xiao Ding finally came to the point of why he had visited Hei Yan.
"I think you noticed something different about the young man whom the Ji Clan came to attack?"
Xiao Ding looked directly into Hei Yun's eyes and asked in a low voice.
"Huh… that boy…?"
Raising his eyebrows, Hei Yan was slightly confused, but he nodded and continued.
"Yes, that young man was indeed different. Even with my realm, I can't perceive his cultivation level clearly."
Shaking his head, Hei Yan spoke.
"Yes, you are right."
"That young man is Shen Xuan. He is actually from a hidden clan, belonging to the Central Top Universe. It's just that their clan has been dormant for too long after the fall of that era, and they have finally chosen to emerge."
"So, my request is only to make his identity token : the Heavenly Registry Token."
The moment his last word fell, Hei Yan looked at Xiao Ding with a serious gaze, as if questioning him through his eyes alone.
Noticing his gaze, Xiao Ding laughed and said,
"Don't worry. He doesn't belong to that clan. And even if he did, we would distribute the profit among ourselves."
Taking another sip of tea, Xiao Ding looked at the fish in the pond.
For a moment, Hei Yan paused, rhythmically tapping the table with his five fingers while thinking.
"What is his age?"
Standing beside the pond and feeding the fish, he asked.
"And you should know, he must be less than fifteen years old. Only then can he be registered there."
"Don't worry. I've checked his bone age. He is only thirteen and a half years old."
"And his cultivation should be at the Chaos Seed Realm."
"With these conditions, I don't think the formation or the Heavenly Registry Token will be affected."
"Yes."
"When should I bring him?"
"After all, I want him to join my Luoshui Pavilion. Though I know it may only be for a few years, those years will be enough to elevate my Luoshui Pavilion to new heights."
Xiao Ding asked.
"Well, you can bring him here tomorrow. Including all verification procedures, it will take about two more days to fully complete."
Hei Yan replied.
"Thanks. If this matter is completed, not only will I owe you a favor, but I will also help you once personally."
After saying that, Xiao Ding left.
Hei Yun simply watched him leave.
At the inn.
In Shen Xuan's courtyard.
The courtyard was silent as night.
And with the thin layer of the moonlight pouring from the sky, through the gaps of the formation carved in the inn iteslef.
Glowing rune with the faint light along the walls, while isolating the space from the outside world, and sealing sound but also the chaos qi, around him.
And in the centre of the coutyard, Shen Xuan sat cross legged.
From the perspective of the outsider, he may be barely cultiavting himself under the staryy night sly.
But in reality, he was nowwhere here.
his conciousness had already sunk deep within.
the moment his eyes closed, the worlds arounf him had shifted into something else.
A darkness unfolded like a curtian being drawn aside, and then...
everything was ...
Chaos.
An endless sea of chaos streched in front of him, it was vast beyond measure.
It was neither still nor the turbulent, neither light nor dark.
Streams of primal choas energy flowed like ancient river, while carrying the fragments of the shattered laws, broken in time and forgetten orgin.
This was his chaos sea, that he created in his prevoius life, before being sealed.
And also the foundation of his cultavtion and secrets.
And the above the boundless chaos, the contless stars in the flickered faintly, with a embroyic laws, that has yet awakened, maountians and rivers, exixting with the ancient golden city formed there and middle of that, there was huge lake or you can saw the Sea.
And above that in the center of the sea, a purple golden seed floating in silence.
And it is a chaos seed.
And from looking at it. iT was very hige compared to the other normal or even genius cultiavtor And very llarge, almost hundred times ot them.
however, there were countless cack, and it seems incomplete, as if restaing something. While being wrapped in the countless invisble seals and formation.
It was lying dormant upon it surface, like a sleeping dragin bounded by the chains of fate.
Coming there, Shen Xuan stood before it.
His figure was both vast and infinitesimal within the inner world. However, for a cultiavtior, to posses a inner world, they must have to reach the realm of chaos origin realm, because once you breakthrough to the realm of chaos domain realm, you can basically build small world from the help of the plane, and only you eneters in the realm of chaos roring, you will understand the law of strand of origin and able to build the small world and susatin it. and same within the consciousness. which transform the cultiabtion from the chaos sea.
And chaos opens in ther ealm of Chaos esence realm, where you can basically able to absorb the chaos qi, without any problems.
While Shen Xuan feeling his own chaos seed was still able, and not only that, he also noticed that it was growing but there were cracks on it, and also the noticed the seals placed on his chaos seed.
After studying the seals, he found those selas were not meanst to restrain him but, they were meant to protect the choas seed as well as concious sea within.
and if he dared to cultiavte, the most likely thing going to hppen with his choas sea, is the destruction of it,, and he will become the waste. And if his luck is worse, then death is blessing.
So, it better to heal the cracks inside of the chaos seed, while removing the seal.
Just he was studying the chos seed, a low hum sound came from his back.
A dark golden purple spear, with dragon and many intricate pattern 3 metre long spear apeared in front of him and with the inheritance token that his father gave him in the last.
Shen Xuan didn't placed thsese two two thing in his own storage ring, but rather
"Young master...!"
A slghtly young but hoarse voicecome from nowhere. And then the spear trembled slightly.
"Ling'er???"
"Ling'er...are you awake...?" Shen Xuan pupil shank, as he looked at the spear trembling, and tear came out from the corner of his eyes.
Then a spirtual body came from the Spear.
Flaoting besdie, while rubbing her eyes, a gilr with a pair of dragon horn, cute face, and height around 1.50, cute looking girl with a lot of consfusion on her face.
"Xuan Ling, are you okay...?" Walking to her, and hugging her tightly in his arms, he asked.
"Huh...young master...?"
"Why is it so small...??" When she looked at Shen Xuan face, young again, she asked question.
"What....??" He threw away from his arm, and looked at Xuan Ling, with a weird expression his face, as if asking something.
Even the tear, which were dripping from his eyes, stopped and smile formed on his face.
"You mischvious girl..?"
You dare to tease your young master?
"You can obvously say, why is young master is young, but why is your language so bad now?"
Hmmph...!!
he hammmered her head for few times lightly with his clenched fist, then waited for her to raise her head and loekd at him.
"Umm....hmm...! Young master... hehe ...Ling'er is sorry. It is just, i haven't spoken over unknown period of time, i forgot." Raising her little head, and looking directly into those grays eyes of Shen Xuan.
This..!! Shen Xuan was left speechless by this girl. He didn't expected her to be like.
In the end, he opened his arm again and hugged her lightly.
"Ling'er, are you okay?" Caressing her hair slowly, though both of them were spiritual body.
"Young master, Ling'er is not okay. After that war, we were destroyed. Master and madam suffered lot during that time. Do you still remember, when master called you back from the chaos void?" Placing her head on the chest of him, she asked quietly, which was different from her lovely and mischievous.
"Yeah..!" He nodded.
"Since, young master remembered, then let me tell you, before you were called, the five clan held the meeting with together and predicated that, .....!!!!."
Ahh....!
Pain....!!!!
"No...it hurts...!!"
Just she was about to say.
A huge pain in her spirituality occured making her body tremble.
She held her head with both and crouched down, and waiting for the headache to go away.
But no matter what...it wasn't going.
"Ling'er, it's okay. You forget about this, maybe the cause and affect is very great, so with our current strength cannot even eligible to know the truth." Crouching down next to her, he said slowly.
Ah...!
Finally after a long time, the pain in her head, faded off.
And she was panting a lot.
"I am sorry, young master. Ling'er is useless."
Woo....wuu...
A deep regret and guilt come to her, not being able to say anything, even after knowing. But the moment, she is about to say, the huge pain grab her like pin.
"Ling'er, i Think you should rest in my chaos sea, and heal with the broken laws that still exist here." After saying he left his sea of consciousness.
