Chapter 4 - EPISODE 5: HEAVENLY SCROLLS, BATTLES CRIES

Ep 5 main theme:::::::

Now the inspiration is back

Let this lock in the scroll is called the mysterious heavenly dao scroll with 7 stages...

Opening Scene: Echoes of the Arena

The episode opens in the aftermath of the chaos caused by Cheng Xiao's injury. The crowd is silent, eyes wide as Xiao Kai steps forward, his robes torn from the earlier rescue, his eyes calm but burning with silent fury. Murmurs spread across the arena.

> "He… dares to challenge a 2-star Dou Shi?"

"Isn't he just an outer disciple…?"

"No, he's something else."

The sect elders begin to whisper. Even the leaders glance at each other. This was not in any prediction.

The Moonshadow Spirit Hall, proud and arrogant, watches with amusement. Their core members smirk, unaware that something ancient has begun to stir.

Part One: The Rising Fight

Granted mercy to continue the fight on behalf of Cheng Xiao, Xiao Kai steps into the arena. His opponent mocks him.

> "An insect dares to walk where dragons fly?"

But Xiao Kai's presence is unnerving. Calm. Still. Like a silent lake before a tsunami. Without using flashy techniques, with only precise, calculated strikes, he defeats the opponent effortlessly. The battle ends in minutes.

A hush spreads. Not from disbelief—but fear.

The sect leaders glance at each other again. Who is this boy?

Part Two: The Match of the Century – Xiao Kai vs Ji Feng

After eliminating his first opponent, he advances rapidly. Word spreads: a dark horse. He beats another. Then another. Each stronger than the last. Until he faces the most feared and praised core disciple among the Four Major Sects—Ji Feng, a terrifying 7-star Dou Ling from Moonshadow Spirit Hall.

Ji Feng is known as the Storm Fang, undefeated and arrogant, his spirit beast said to have devoured entire valleys in training. The crowd is bloodthirsty. The Azure Dragon Sky Sect holds its breath.

The fight begins.

Ji Feng charges with terrifying spiritual pressure. Xiao Kai doesn't move. Instead, he lifts a single hand.

A shockwave bursts from his feet—not of Dou Qi—but something else. Something older.

Ji Feng falters.

> "What… what is this suppression?!"

Xiao Kai, with just his raw strength and basic techniques, overwhelms Ji Feng in a battle that lasts under five minutes. The crowd erupts. Elders of all sects rise to their feet in confusion and awe.

Xiao Kai wins.

Azure Dragon Sky Sect wins.

Part Three: The Aftermath – Challenge of the Halls

Just when peace seems to return, Moonshadow Spirit Hall's high elders storm the stage, demanding to challenge Xiao Kai's identity.

A powerful Dou Huang, one of their sect masters, descends, flaring his aura—trying to force Xiao Kai to submit.

> "Reveal your secret. No ordinary disciple can suppress Ji Feng without ancient techniques."

Xiao Kai struggles internally. If he reveals the full power of the Star Tears Orb, he'll paint a target on his back. But he stands tall.

Just as the Dou Huang's palm descends—

> BOOM!

An immense pressure sweeps the battlefield. The mysterious ancestor of the Azure Dragon Sky Sect, who has remained hidden for years, appears mid-air, dressed in flowing ancient blue robes. His Dou Qi whips through the air, freezing the atmosphere.

> "You dare harm one of mine?"

The ancestor's palm clashes with the Dou Huang. The arena shatters from the shock. But just as the ancestor prepares a second, lethal blow—

> CRACK!

The sky splits.

A tear in the void itself opens midair. No form appears. No sound. No presence. Yet the pressure is overwhelming. The color drains from the sky. Time itself feels slowed.

Everyone stops. Even the ancestor of Azure Dragon Sky Sect freezes.

The message is clear.

> A Dou Zong... has just glanced at them from afar.

> "Do not interfere," the ancient voice whispers across the heavens, though the speaker remains unseen.

The Dou Huang retreats in fear. Everyone looks up. Who could command such power?

Part Four: The Flashback Within the Flame

Later that night, Xiao Kai sits alone near the mountain spring. His robes bloodied, his face unreadable.

Suddenly, the scroll in his sea of consciousness glows again—the Star Tears Scroll, also known in secret as the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Scroll.

> "You've begun your journey," a deep, ancient voice whispers in his mind. "You've touched only a droplet."

And for the first time, Xiao Kai sees:

Stage 1: (He has passed it unknowingly by defeating Ji Feng, equal to a Dou Wang at full strength)

Stage 2: The mark of a Dou Zong hovers like mist above a staircase in his mind

Stage 3 - 7: Remain locked

Final Message:

> "Beyond True God, only the Immortal Ascension remains. And beyond that..."

> "A level no name dares speak."

Xiao Kai clenches his fist.

Final Scene: Seeds of Revenge

In the moonlight, Xiao Kai looks up. The world celebrates him now, but he knows—enemies will come. People will hunt him.

And worse… someone among the Four Sects already suspects.

> "I will protect Cheng Xiao. I will avenge the ones who made me hide. I will ascend..."

The screen fades.

> "But first, I must survive."

Fade to black. Suspense…
