'Is this it? Is this how my life ends?' That was the first thought that came to Tsarayu's mind. That day was supposed to be a day of celebration for him. It was his 20th birthday and after much hesitation; he had finally gathered up enough courage to propose to his childhood friend. A proposal, to which Ha'na responded in kind and accepted; the feelings they had for each other were mutual. The girl he had loved for such a long time had finally become his girlfriend. Unfortunately, things don't always go the way we want them to be. On the way home, a man ran towards him. Catching up from behind that man was a middle-aged woman screaming 'THIEF' at the top of her lungs. Tsarayu was able to tell that the man running away was a thief. He wanted to step aside and let the guy pass through to save himself some trouble, but his conscience wouldn't let him do so. When he saw the woman's sad and tearful expression, running after the thief, his heart grew soft. Tsarayu decided to try to

Eventually, the masked man moved. He disappeared from Tsashi's sight. Without wasting any time, Tsashi crushed the talisman in his hand. In this world, medicine, treasures, weapons, and talismans were all categorized by grades. The lowest grade being mortal grade, above which came Spirit, Earth, Sky, and more. Tsashi had only heard about Sky Grade and above but he had never seen any treasure of such a high grade. There was no Sky grade treasure in all of Weng. Even in a nearby kingdom, there was a similar case. The highest grade treasure in all of Weng was only at Earth grade. The talisman that Tsashi had used was a mid-level Spirit grade talisman called Divine Protection Talisman. It was so expensive that ordinary people couldn't even afford it. Only large clans were able to buy one. Its primary advantage was that it could stop the attacks from early gold core realm cultivators. Although, after repeated attacks, it could be broken. It would nevertheless provide some protection.

After getting up from bed, Tsarayu walked towards his wardrobe. There were many luxurious clothes inside with varying designs for specific occasions. Tsarayu picked a few out of them to wear. As he got dressed, he decided to wear a golden robe just like the one that Tsa ki often wears, the robe with Lions embroidered on it. After getting himself ready, Tsarayu looked at himself in the mirror. He had to admit that he certainly did look like the prince of an empire. No wonder the others were so jealous 'If I was as handsome as I am in my right now in my previous life, how amazing my life would have been,' thought Tsarayu as he laughed. He had long hair and thin lips, golden pupils, and a beautiful smile. His luxurious yet straightforward clothes, coupled with his handsome appearance, mesmerized even himself. After admiring his appearance for what seemed like a long time, Tsarayu decided that it was finally time to go out. He opened the door and took his first step out. He was g

Tsashi was merely eight years old when he achieved the peak of the Body Refining Realm, which was the tenth stage. Throughout the entire country, he was at the top, his talent matchless amongst the people of his generation. Even the kids from the Royal Clan weren't a match for him. But even then, he never grew complacent and always kept working hard. There was only one source of motivation behind his hard work. After his father's death, he wanted to be stronger. Strong enough so that his mother won't have to worry about him. He wanted to have the strength to uncover the identity of the people behind his father's death and take his revenge. He wanted to be strong enough to protect everyone; so that none of his family members would ever be endangered just as how his father was. Even as a child, Tsashi knew the importance of strength.He continually strove to better himself, working hard every day to achieve his goals. Every time he made a breakthrough, he would happily run to his mothe

"Everything is fine now, Jietsu. Grandpa won't let anybody hurt you anymore. Let's go home now; your mother must be waiting for you," said Tsaki while smiling at Tsashi. However, to his dismay, he received no response.He looked at Tsashi only to see him looking back at him, but his lifeless eyes had no focus, and his face was expressionless. He was just lying there limply."Jietsu??? Are you alright? Say something..." Tsaki said in a tender voice. Unfortunately, he received no reaction at all from Tsashi. All he saw was a pair of lifeless eyes, staring back at him."Alright, let's go home. You're probably tired, you need some rest." After saying so, Tsaki flew towards the Tsa Manor while carrying Tsashi in his arms.Tsaki entered the mansion with Tsashi in his arms and straightaway went to Tsashi's courtyard. His courtyard was beautiful and huge, which was to be expected as it was, after all the dwelling of the genius young master of the Tsa Clan. The outside was covered with a bea
