"young master don't jump again,you've already jumped 12 times"
"ohh I forgot" said Feng wuji his eyes shining with playfulness and excitement.
It's been a week since they returned from elder Zhao's place and Feng wuji had finally started cultivation,today he was going to open up his meridians. He seemed very excited and jolly.
"Calm your nerves young master,you have to be in a state of calm open your meridians"
"Yes yes I've heard you dao master lang,when do we start"
Feng wuji looked at his front to ask a middle aged man who wore an armor and seemed to be 7 foot tall,he had a scar above his left eyebrow which made him look menacing.
"After your exercise young master"said lang zhangue.
"Okay dao master!!"
Feng wuji rounded up his exercise and then sat on a prayer mat in the room. The room was made of bamboo and there seemed to be nothing inside the room except from a mat and a crystal embedded in the wall and some elixirs beside Feng wuji.
Dao master lang zhangue was Feng wuji's dao master for the first three realms of cultivation and he would guide him and help him build the most solid foundation.
"Okay now Feng wuji place your hands in a lotus position" a voiced muttered from outside the room.
"Clear your mind of all thoughts and meditate with tranquility"
Feng wuji followed instructions and tried to meditate only to be disturbed by his eagerness and some previous memories. He quickly brushed off this thoughts and entered into a state of tranquility and peace.
"What is the dao,the dao is the origin of life and all things,the dao is the air that we breathe and the emotions we feel"
Lang zhangue said. "Ponder ok the dao young master and it'll reveal it's meaning and essence to you.
Now take an elixir and drink it.
Feng wuji followed his command and reached for the elixir and downed it in one go.
He waited with his eye closed knees on the mat in a lotus position and made some hands sign he had been instructed to make during this time ,he continued to make the hand signs and waited and waited and waited but nothing seemed to happen.
He only felt a little drowsy and disoriented and then.
BOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!!
Something inside of him broke,it felt like a shackle maybe??,it seemed to have been all his life.
It seemed to have been there stopping him and restricting him from cultivation without knowledge for it's existence.
It was a crazy feeling and all his nerves and veins seemed to wreck with pain but also felt incredibly free.
Then he pointed to the middle of his head and tapped it and then,it glowed and a strange pattern in shape of an eye started to form.
Then other glows stared appearing around his body and they seemed linked to each other ,they were twenty one in total and they all shined with and we're filled with filled with ancient markings and the glow they shined with looked to be green.
The points that glowed pulsed and spiritual energy began to surround him and the eye pattern on his head started to absorb it and circulate it through his other meridians.
After this the glow emanating from his meridians faded. Feng wuji came back to his senses and then he felt oddly calm.
He felt right and free and he could finally sense the spiritual energy in the air with his central meridian which was located in his head. He suddenly started laughing like a maniac and thought finally I have started cultivation I'll become strong fast to find out the truth about everything.
Lang zhangue entered the room"congratulations young maste" he said.
"Thanks dao master lang it's all because of your guidance "
"You praise me too much young master "
"By the way how many Meridians did you awaken young master"
"All twenty one of them"
"You're joing young master"most people don't even manage to open all primary seven meridians".
Lang zhangue looked at Feng wuji with doubt.
Feng wuji didn't say anything he just smiled and said "I'm lucky I guess" he smiles mysteriously
"Whatever we have to notify the patriarch of this"
"I'll leave that to you dao master lang I have to rest now,my body has gone through a lot today and it needs proper rest."
"Okay young master"
Feng wuji departed to his courtyard while lang zhangue went to report this to the patriach.
The patriach announced this and soon the entire sect knew about it and all of memebers of the sect and other sects had begun to prepare congratulations gift forFeng wuji as he had started cultivation and they all seemed happy and all seemed well.
But that was on the surface,under the surface turbulent winds had started to rise and there seemed to be a waging tension underneath and a lot of scheming had begun.
In all of this commotion was one person who stood out he was average looking and had black hair and brown eyes and gave off a feeling of utmost confidence. But that feeling and aura you would find him giving off on a usual day was gone now only rage filled his heart.
He gritted his teeth and cursed."DAMN IT ,that fucking trash just had to be able to cultivate"
He was Murong Tianshi,Feng lang's adopted son and he looked incredibly bitter at this moment.He was the son of Feng lang's previous best friend who had sacrificed his life to save Feng lang.
He had hoped feng wuji would become a cripple, and while that seemed unlikely,he had dome everything in his power to see that happen. He had secretly planted pills and drugs but nothing seemed to work,now that Feng wuji had awoken his meridians and started cultivating another competitor had come for the position of the sect master and this was no ordinary competitor it was a competitor who was the biological son of the sect master.
"And he just had to awaken ,all 21 meridians at once,even father halied as the greatest genius of the former generation only awaken 18 of them.
His eyes were filled with hatred and bitterness,but at once the hatred disappeared from his eyes and they seemed to have never even existed.He became calm and suddenly called out "Peng Zhao".
"Yes order leader murong"came a voice out of the shadows. Out came a man who wore a white and purple robe,like the other disciples of the celestial lotus sect. However his own robe had some gold marking at the edge which was the symbol of core disciples. He stepped forward and bowed "how can I help you?"
" Send a congratulatory gift to Feng wuji and tell him that I feel happy for him, OH!! and congratulate him on my behalf,tell him I would be at his celebration banquet to celebrate the start of his cultivation journey.
"Yes order leader murong " said peng Zhao and he depeparted to go find worthy gifts for the young master,as he couldn't just give out any gift.
Somewhere in the celestial lotus sect beside a stream that seemed to have pink water which smell seemed to refresh the nose were two people whose age seemed drastically different. It was elder lang who was in charge of the alchemy pavilion and a little girl,they sat side by side and although the young master had just started cultivating,elder lang eyes seemed to be filled with sadness and worry.
"Grandpa why do you look so sad?, aren't you happy for the young master ?"
She asked
"Yan'er of course I'm happy for him, but now that's he's begun cultivating a new era has begun and there are storms coming and the whole world will be plunged into chaos"
"What?? Grandpa what are you even saying "
"Oh,how stupid of me to say such words to a child,forget it my child you'll understand it later right now let's go get some sweets yeah? "
"Okay grandpa" she smiled but she wondered about what he actually meant by all that could it be that there was a storm brewing outside??.She looked towards the area where life was bustling and her expression seemed worried and it was filled with melancholy.
The whole mood seemed merry but everyone had their own thoughts and they knew that the start of the problems would be at Feng wuji's banquet.
