The Pembarker of Eternity
CHAPT 1'S. LIFE
....
A pitch-black night in a pack of black clouds soared into the sky, the light turned into a raucous tongue of fire. Thunderstorms and lightning broke the silence since this afternoon giving an atmosphere of horror, the dense rain grains rained down on the land mercilessly.
The greenery became increasingly dense when the bright cradle of lightning stroked the face of the mountain that looked like the twin brothers, The trees give a sign that the wind blows in one direction where there is a sizable sign written TWIN MOUNTAIN SECT.
The dried leaves of the kerontang rhythmically while rolling on the ground to and fro staggered in uncertain directions, plus the poignancy of a woman who fought death for the birth of a life.
The cry that is not inferior to the enormity of the weather out there signifies great suffering and pain.
3 Days after the death of Li Ming, a swordsman who had saved the Great Moon Kingdom from destruction, his 2nd child named Li Biyu who was pregnant was now about to give birth.
"Aghhhhh, huff huff huff"
"Let's take a breath then exhale, follow me and repeat.."
"Ahh it hurts so much...Akhh"
Despite suffering from extreme pain, on the sidelines of her screams, if noticed in the wild-goals Li Biyu was very graceful and beautiful.
Her eyes were beautifully glowing with eyelids adorned with plump eyelashes, occasionally in between the hunting breaths that embedded dimples on both strands of her cheeks, she said, her thin lips with sparkling white teeth must be sweet when she smiles.
Li Hong just stared while holding Li Biyu's hand with pity, only then he knew that for the birth of a life it must be against death first, something he never imagined.
Li Hong thought for a moment, in his mind he was determined that one day he would care for and love the woman he would marry with all his heart.
"Finally, Biyu survived Mr. Hong..." The child shaman smiled as he rubbed the sweat with his sleeve.
The atmosphere was quiet for a moment after the birth, after waiting in fact there was no sound of baby crying there, an unusual occurrence.
Everyone held back their feelings after turning to each other to look for answers to this incident.
It was Li Hong who looked very confused, not because he knew this incident was so strange, but the attitude of everyone who was there showed that something was wrong.
"Why?? what's going on?" Li Hong broke the silence in the room, not understanding the situation that was happening.
Li Hong really did not know if a baby was born would usually cry because it had to adjust to its new environment, regardless of the room in the mother's womb.
But the baby looked very calm like water, his breathing was very regular, his eyes opened with a soothing look and a golden aura emanated from his body as if welcoming the world like a king. Li Hong looked at the child shaman like he was asking for an immediate answer.
"Master Hong forgives me, actually this is also the first time that an incident like this I have experienced since a long time ago I helped every birth process. So I don't know if it's a good sign or a bad sign." The shaman said stammeringly while returning to wiping the sweat on his temple.
Li Hong was silent for quite a while, looking like he had thought of something he had not long ago remembered, which was the words of his father Li Ming.
**
That day, exactly a month ago when Li Hong returned from his mission. The mission that required him to go on a long journey for almost 3 years outside the kingdom.
As he was about to enter the gate of the Sect, Li Hong did not find the gate guards on duty as he normally would. Precisely what he saw was only a middle-aged man holding a sword staring at him ferociously.
After getting close enough to the middle-aged man that Li Hong was stunned for quite a long time. 'What did he do with his weapons of pride...'
Li Hong's facial features immediately turned incomparable, the streaks on his face that previously looked happy and relieved instantly became bad. His premonition said if it wasn't going to be a warm welcome.
The middle-aged man glared at the piercing eyes of Li Hong who was still stunned in his position. "Based on a stupid kid, instead of running fast, crawling..." The middle-aged man's aura instantly changed, the immense pressure surrounding him made anyone guess if he had great inner strength.
"A.what's going on, please explain first what this is really about."
"You better get ready or you'll die...!" The aura of the middle-aged man grew increasingly dense, the pressure around him was increasing.
Li Hong was silent a thousand languages, cold sweat as if unwilling to stop coming out from all over his body, there was only one thing he had to do at a time like this, which was to prepare for a fight.
Li Hong immediately drew his sword that was sheathed at the waist, the handle of his sword was pure white like jade with a sword rod that had exquisite calligraphy carvings.
That sword was his best sword which was a top tier 2 grade weapon, a sword that was second to none in this Great Moon Kingdom.
The middle-aged man was stunned before returning to his condition, the grip on his sword was getting tightened because he knew this would not be easy.
While drawing his sword Li Hong showed an improvement in his sword skills from the last time he remembered, even if only seen from the aerial cut that resulted from the sabetage of his sword, it was enough to prove that Li Hong had already developed quite a lot.
"Interesting, let's try your skills...!" The middle-aged man immediately lunged forward, his movements so nimble that in a single breath the tip of his sword was already one inch ahead of Li Hong's eyes.
Li Hong moved quickly to the side in time, his expression also showing shock as it was not only him who was progressing in sword ability.
Attack after attack continued to be launched by the middle-aged man, but Li Hong was able to dodge and fend off each attack quite easily.
The middle-aged man retreated a few steps after 20 strikes, age indeed had a great effect on the fight, his energy was quite drained despite only giving Li Hong a light strike.
"Enough, let's stop here." Said the Baya Beak Man with a tesengal breath, while Li Hong's mouth opened wide for a moment showing an expression of disbelief.
"I no longer want to waste my energy on a stupid youngster like you, after all in the near future this will definitely happen in the kingdom, I have to save my energy for that moment." The middle-aged man gave an excuse that Li Hong did not understand. Again Li Hong's mouth was wide open, this time for quite a long time.
The middle-aged man sheathed his sword and passed away without saying anything to Li Hong.
Li Hong also sheathed his sword and immediately caught up with the middle-aged man walking hastily in front of him.
"Dad wait for me..." Li Hong immediately came to the position of the middle-aged man who was none other than his own father named Li Ming.
"Don't call me your father, I don't remember having a stupid son like you." Li Ming snorted in annoyance but continued walking without turning his head to Li Hong.
"Dad please don't do this, is it because I don't seem to be carrying souvenirs? relax, I won't forget about you." Li Hong reached into his shirt pocket and was seen holding onto something.
Li Ming halted his steps, while Li Hong gave a wide innocent smile. "Ahh apparently so, believe me I will not forget to bring ha..."
Not yet had time to finish his words Li Ming interrupted "Have I ever asked you for any favors before? I'm sure your mother regretted giving birth to you." Li Ming passed away leaving Li Hong, this time his pace grew even faster.
Li Hong was again stunned, not understanding what the real problem was. "it seems like this matter is not simple." Li Hong ran after Li Ming who was already quite far away after being sure what the reason behind his father's attitude was.
"Dad I understand..." Li Hong stopped in a kneeling position, while Li Ming also halted his steps. "Sorry for my delay, I know that mission should have been completed 1 year sooner, but circumstances forced me to do it."
Li Hong explained the situation while on a mission. Li Hong's mission is to spy on a criminal gang known to be rebirth of an organization that once threatened the security of the Great Moon kingdom.
Actually Li Hong was only ordered to monitor the activities of the group and report his every move to the kingdom without attacking directly.
So that in less than 2 years Li Hong had actually been able to complete his mission and could return to the sect without participating in the attack.
But by the time the attack was about to take place, the group had not made any movement as Li Hong reported even the group had left the location just before the day of the attack so Li Hong's mission was almost declared a failure.
So in order to pay for the mistake, Li Hong felt responsible and returned to search for 1 year but there were no results so he was forced to return.
"Foolishly, 2 years would have been a long time for that mission but you spent 3 years and failed, I would be ashamed to meet your grandfather if I died."
"Dad..." Li Hong was embarrassed.
Li Ming sighed. "Well, did you know your sister was pregnant? who's gonna take care of him if I'm not around?"
Li Hong was not in fact surprised, but for the sake of paying for his guilt Li Hong immediately asked about Li Biyu's news.
Li Ming explained that over the past 5 months Li Biyu faced quite a lot of difficulties, when the age of the womb stepped on 3 months of the womb often emits an unusual aura and when that happens Li Biyu will feel very pain.
Once several times Li Biyu fainted from not being able to bear the pain but with the help of Li Ming by draining his inner strength, the pain was quite reduced.
Then Li Ming's smile grew and he laughed making Li Hong think that his father was crazy.
"Hahaha but don't worry, this is a great blessing from the creator that happens once every 400 years according to the legend of the world. Know that the child your brother conceived will become a great warrior even beyond what we will never achieve."
Li Hong was again stunned to hear that, not only by his father's explanation just now, but also because of his father's rapidly changing mood.
Then Li Ming advised that if the child was born and something unusual happened to the birth of the child that had existed, then Li Hong did not need to worry.
**
"Looks like dad was right." Li Hong returned to his consciousness, his smile then expanded breaking the silent atmosphere.
Li Hong looked at everyone's faces and said if it was something very good and there was nothing to worry about.
Then a happy and happy atmosphere broke out in the room, even Li Biyu smiled in her weakness.
"Hong gege, please give a name to my son." Li Biyu said with her weak voice.
Li Hong held the child very carefully as this was for the first time he did it "Aihhh he is very handsome like his father. I will name Xiao Wu Jie, hopefully he will become a big man".
