The story takes place during the time of the Imperial dynasty, where buildings, governments, social status raced against the Empire. The religions believed at the time were Buddhism and Hinduism.
In addition there are also those who are referred to as Cultivators or warriors with great strength, their existence is very famous and has a high social status.
What is a Cultivator?
A cultivator is a person who practices cultivation techniques. People who are trying to achieve eternal or immortal life,
Other than Emperors and nobles then those who held other high statuses were those Cultivators.
Cultivators live in the teachings of the sects, where the sect is a means for the Cultivators of knowledge, or clans who teach cultivation techniques.
The social life of Cultivators was not much different from that of ordinary humans, where the great would be respected and the weak would be oppressed.
The Cultivators were divided into two practitioners, namely white practitioners and black practitioners, these two practitioners had the task of guiding and developing the skills of talented young Cultivators in order to become great warriors.
Cultivators themselves do not always belong to a sect, be it farmers, merchants, nobles or the royal family, if they have the ability to cultivate then they will be referred to as Cultivators.
The Cultivator stage itself is divided into two stages, namely the Qi (Inner Energy)/ Armor (Body endurance)
The Qi level is..
- WOOD SPIRIT/Star 1'2'3'4'5'6'7'8'9
- BRONZE SPIRIT/Star 1'2'3'4'5'6'7'8'9
-SILVER SPIRIT/Star 1'2'3'4'5'6'7'8'9
- GOLD SPIRIT/Star 1'2'3'4'5'6'7'8'9
-SPIRIT MASTER/Star 1'2'3'4'5'6'7'8'9
-GRANDMASTER SPIRIT/Star 1'2'3'4'5'6'7'8'9
-SPIRIT EMPEROR/Star 1'2'3'4'5'6'7'8'9
- GENERAL SPIRIT/1 Star 1'2'3'4'5'6'7'8'9
- GOD SPIRIT/Star 1'2'3'4'5'6'7'8'9
- HEAVENLY SPIRIT/Star 1'2'3'4'5'6'7'8'9
- GREAT SPIRIT/Star 1'2'3'4'5'6'7'8'9
Qi itself is commonly referred to as energy or aurah.
The Armor stage level is...
- SOLDIER'S BODY. - HARD BODY. - IRON BODY. - BODY OF STEEL. - DRAGON BODY. -SPIRIT BODY. - IRON BODY.
In the Qi level or Armor level there is something called a barrier, the barrier serves to suppress the human energy in the Cultivator's body, if a Cultivator managed to break through the barrier then he would completely lose human energy and be replaced by god energy.
After that a Cultivator would become immortal and would not be consumed by age.
The barrier that existed at the Qi stage was at the 'SPIRIT EMPEROR' level while the barrier that existed at the Armor stage was located at the 'BODY OF STEEL' level'.
Since the form of two practitioners, the great figures began to compete, since the last 10 years when a talented swordsman of black practitioners suffered a major defeat in the competition of young Cultivators, the black practitioner figures began to lose their authority in the eyes of the public, they were looked down upon and considered to have no ability to teach young Cultivators.
In addition, their position in the empire began to falter, even the emperor himself openly said that the figures of black practitioners would be dissolved in the next 10 years if not changed.
This was a huge blow to the black practitioners, as well as the one felt by Yan Ling, one of the important figures of the black practitioners, moreover, the young man who died in the young Cultivator competition was his best student.
Inside the room, Yan Ling pondered the words of her uncle Zhang Ling.
"Yan E'r, you should immediately marry Zao E'r to a girl from the white practitioner sect, so that the good name of your family and sect can be restored."
Yan Ling began to consider that uncle's remark, right, if her son Zao Ling could marry a girl from a sect of white practitioners, right, then the good name of the sect as well as his family would return and he no longer needed to worry about being eliminated from the practitioner post.
The next day, Yan Ling invited elder Hong who worked as a guidance teacher in her sect (Month) to her residence to inquire about the progress of Zao Ling's practice.
Yan Ling said."How is Zao Ling progressing?."
Elder Hong said with a gloomy face."Sorry Master Yan, but your son Zao Ling doesn't seem to have the ability to cultivate!."
Brakk!
Yan Ling hit the table hard then said."How dare you insult my son's ability!."
Elder Hong said."I'm telling the truth, Zao Ling wasn't born to be a Cultivator."
Yan Ling said with a sharp look of eyes."Elder Hong, watch your mouth, or I'll get you out of here!."
Elder Hong chuckled then said."Without you telling me I'd be out of here."
Elder Hong got up from his chair then walked towards the exit.
"You black practitioners are indeed weak losers, his father has a bad reputation his son cannot cultivate, what a concern!."Elder Hong's words sounded before he actually left the room.
After elder Hong's departure, Yan Ling scowled her temple, her head dizzy at the trouble she was facing right now, not to mention the people who no longer paid respect to her, even elder Hong who used to be very respectful towards him now had dared to spout harsh words to him.
"Dad!."
Zao Ling's voice rang out from the front of the entrance, the handsome teenage boy walked over to his father.
Zao Ling looked at her father who looked riled up as she said."Dad why? dad sick?."
Yan Ling shook her head then said."I'm fine, oh yeah, how did you practice today?."
Yan Ling lowered her head, while sighing Yan Ling said inwardly."So it's true what elder Hong said, that Zao E'r doesn't have the ability to cultivate."
Then Yan Ling looked at her son's face while saying."It's okay, you can too!."
After conversing with his son, Yan Ling invited Zao Ling to walk around the city while enjoying typical Imperial food.
"Dad, that bar sells roast beef, let's go Daddy!."
Zao Ling pulled my father's arm towards the tavern serving roasted beef dishes.
While waiting for the order, Yan Ling asked Zao Ling to joke, occasionally they laughed together because of Yan Ling's joke, but their laughter disappeared when they heard people telling her about the moon sect.
The man sitting not far from Yan Ling said to his friend."Hey, do you know what? Zao Ling the son of the sect master of the moon was apparently unable to cultivate."
The friend was surprised and said."Do you know where you're from?."
The man said."I heard from someone who had been a teacher in the moon sect."
The theme says."Once upon a time, his father had a bad reputation while his son could not cultivate, it seemed like the moon sect would soon be destroyed."
The man said again."Of course, the emperor should immediately disband the black practitioner so that the tragedy of Long Shou's death would not be repeated again!."
The theme says."Actually I feel that black practitioners are quite good at their duties, only that their good names are tarnished because of the work of the Moon sect."
The man continued."That's right, if I were to become emperor, I would have destroyed the moon sect for a long time, just think, the son of the sect master just can't cultivate any other disciples."
Yan Ling's ears were hot to hear the words of the two men, while Zao Ling lowered her gloomy face, she felt that she was the cause of the damage to the reputation of her father and the sect.
Unable to bear hearing their words, Yan Ling immediately pulled Zao Ling's hand out of the tavern.
They no longer continued walking around the city but went straight back to the sect.
On the way, Yan Ling and Zao Ling met with Jing Yin the teacher of the Jade sect of white practitioners and also a noble.
Jing Yin greeted kindly."Master Yan!."
Yan Ling said hello."Mr. Jing."
Jing Wei turned to look at Zao Ling as he said."She?."
Yan Ling said."He's my son Zao Ling."
Zao Ling bowed her body as she said."Greetings from Zao Ling to Mr. Jing."
Jing Yin smiled at Zao Ling's hospitality, then Jing Yin said."A polite and handsome boy."
Zao Ling smiled and said."Thank you for your compliment Mr. Jing."
Then they looked for a tavern to chat with, Yan Ling and Jing Yin discussed the issues surrounding the young Cultivator competition that would be held in the next two years.
After speaking around the young Cultivator competition, Jing Yin turned to look at Zao Ling.
Jing Yin said."How old is your son?."
Yan Ling replied."17 years."
Jing Wei smiled then said."I have a daughter who is the same age as Zao Ling, I want Zao Ling to be my son-in-law, what do you think, Mr. Yan."
Yan Ling was surprised as well as Zao Ling, Zao Ling's mouth opened to reply but Yan Ling hurriedly snatched Jing Yin's words.
"Of course Mr. Jing, an Honor for the Ling family can build a relationship with the Yin family."
Jing smiled as he said."I also feel very happy, then tomorrow morning I will come to the Ling family residence to set an engagement date."
After saying that, Jing Yin went home with Yan Ling and Zao Ling who also rushed to the sect.
The next day the Yin family came to the Ling family residence to discuss the engagement date of Zao Ling and Jing Yin's son Mei Yin.
Mei Yin was not present at the meeting due to the reason that she was training for the preparation of the young Cultivator competition.
Jing Yin said."So we've agreed that the engagement will be held one week ahead."
Yan Ling smiled happily as she said."Of course, the sooner the better."
After establishing the engagement day that will be carried out one week later, the Yin family was very happy.
After the departure of the Yin family, the entire Ling family came to congratulate Zao Ling on getting engaged to the noble family soon, moreover Jing Yin was the master teacher of the white practitioner of the Jade sect, which is reportedly one of the strongest sects in the empire.
"Congratulations Zao Ling, you've finally gotten a future wife from a noble family."
"Yes, congratulations yes, what else Mr. Jing is the master teacher of the Jade sect, indirectly the good name of the Ling family will recover."
"I heard Mei Yin is a very beautiful girl and also a young Cultivator master."
"You're so lucky Zao Ling."
The various congratulations given to Zao Ling, Yan Ling who heard that became relieved, finally the problem she had been feeling was about to end.
