Disclaimer: Grade 1 to 3 Planets are Mortal Layer planets. Grade 3 to 6 are Immortal Layer Planets. Grade 7 to 9 are Divine Layer Planets. They correspond to each Rank (not level) in cultivation. If you want more information, you can check the chapter at the end of Arc 1 (between chapter 14 and 15), with a lot more descriptions about them. Mortal Realm, Void Zone, in a concealed spaceship flying toward the Wilderness. In a room of the huge vessel, a woman was holding a newborn lovingly in her arms. She had white long shiny hair that reached her hips, a healthy and perfect white skin, an angelic looking face and a devilish looking body where mountains and valleys were cohabiting in perfect harmony. Despite the first impression that one might have, the motherly aura she emanated prevented one from having dark thoughts towards her, as it would instead evoke feelings of holiness with a touch of devilishness from the observer. Even though a trace of worry could be seen between her brows, as well as a bit of weariness, portrayed by her pale face, anyone could feel the happiness from the smile adorning the latter's face and the gaze she uses to look at the little chubby baby who was looking at her. A faint resemblance could be perceived when looking at the two. Although, slight differences such as his light golden hair and eyes made the baby even more eye catching than his mother. He radiated an aura of Life, making others want to be close to him, slightly different from the bright aura of his mother. “Little Yang, do you like looking at my face that much?” She said jokingly after seeing her son looking at her smiling. After rocking gently the baby for a few minutes while gazing lovingly at his cute chubby face, her smile started to fade as she recalled her situation. “Sigh... If only we could enjoy moments like this forever. If only those from the tribes were not...” A abrupt movement behind her made her stop talking before looking at the man who arrived in the room. He was a tall and handsome man, with shoulder-length black hair, deep black eyes, no beard and with skin the color of wheat, full of vitality. His body radiated power thanks to his muscular build and his demeanor reminiscing of a panther during a hunt. 'A dangerous individual that no one should provoke' would be the first impression that one would take away from meeting him for the first time. That is until his gaze found its way to the woman and the baby in the room. The hint of worry hidden in his eyes then seems to melt into a smile filled with love for the two of them. When one looked at the shape of his face and compare it to the little boy's, one could guess that those three were a loving family with him as the father. “The two of you look very harmonious together. I wonder if there is room for your poor husband.” He said in joking manner with his deep and magnetic voice. The woman then looked at her son and answered playfully. “Tell me little Yang, should we let your father in between us?” She then sighed in an exaggerated manner. “What should I do? I'm torn between two handsome men...” Before finishing her sentence, she was swept from her feet together with her baby and ended up in the embrace of her husband who kept the role-play going. “I shall never give my wife up for I am the only one fated with her! Miscreant! Prepare to fight!” He then proceeded to tickle his son until the latter burst laughing, followed by the wife who decided to take her son's side and tickle her husband back. After play fighting for a while, the three fell on the sofa situated close to the 'battlefield'. A few minutes of joy that the couple deeply needed, away from the worries gnawing at their mind. “Darling, do you think we'll be alright?” The wife suddenly asked her husband, wishing for a clear and positive answer but knowing perfectly that he would have none. “Sigh... I don't know...” He said caressing her cheek.” What I do know though, is that I won't let them hurt our son. Just to satisfy their greed for power, they want to steal little Yang's Life Fox Bloodline. The Darkness Fox Tribe and Bright Fox Tribe...Humph! Once I become strong enough they should prepare to be destroyed!” He said while angrily clenching his fist. The baby sensing his father's anger started to cry loudly prompting his mother to give a blaming look at her husband. She then proceeded to soothe Guang Yang by singing to him a lullaby. Following a few minutes of struggle, with the mother singing, while the father kept awkwardly apologizing to his wife, the baby fell asleep in his mother's arms. “I keep thinking that I'm dreaming.” She said. “Why?” He asked curiously. “Think about it. I'm a Light Fox and you're a Darkness Fox. Who would have guessed that our son's bloodline would transcend and reach the Life Fox Bloodline. He is destined to become an Immortal Layer Cultivator.” She said proudly. Perplexed she then asked him. “What kind of Item was this seal, though? After, it appeared and fused with little Yang, his bloodline transcended instantly.” The husband answered. “I'm not sure. It should be an Item fated with him. It's definitely a very high Level item since it can fuse directly with someone. Probably an Immortal Layer Item or even something higher. Sigh.. I'm glad we told no one about it though. Since we would have even more pursuers otherwise.” “That's true.” She said. “But, he needs time to use those opportunities, so we need to protect him until then! Or maybe find him a powerful Teacher...” He finished saying with a seed of doubt in his voice. The woman then looked back at her son lovingly and then said. “I used to wish that my child would become someone great... but with what happened, I only wish for him to live a normal life, free of danger.” A few tears fell from her eyes following her statement. Her husband took away the child and tuck him in the crib behind his wife. After which he hugged her while she hugged him back. In a solemn tone he proclaimed. “No one will hurt any of you, I swear. I'm sure our luck will turn and things will get better for our family. We'll go to a Grade 1 Planet in the wilderness where no one knows us. We'll have plenty of time to raise our son, and enjoy our family time. Of course we'll also cultivate to reach the Peak of the Mortal Layer (Peak Level 9 Mortal) so that nobody could hurt us and also to be able to take revenge for all the attacks we endured on the way.” He stopped talking for a few seconds to ponder something and then asked. “What do you say I'll check later if there is a Grade 1 Planet around and we can then stop there for a few days to rest a bit? Even if they use the Spell they've been using to track us, they won't catch up to us quickly since we killed the last pursuers.” His wife thought a bit and answered.”Okay, let's do that.” After hugging for a few minutes, the husband kissed his wife on the forehead, took her hand hand in his and left the room with her until they reached the Control room where hovering in the middle of it was a huge holographic map. They both took a look and the husband said. ”Hua'er, look over there.” He was pointing his finger in the direction of what seemed like a small planet close to where their spaceship was situated. When the its AI noticed his action, it enlarged the planet and made a window appear close to it with some sparse information concerning it. The two started quickly reading the description of the planet called 'Gaia'. “Grade 1 planet... Only recently learned about the Cultivation world... Few Cultivators... Technology Level: early interstellar travel... Only Human Race native... United planetary government composed of a council with representatives from the three different continents...” After reading the description, the woman said. “Since there are only weak cultivators there and they only have a weak technological level, we should be safe. I think we should choose that planet.” Her husband answered. ”Okay then. AI!” “Yes, Sir.” The AI said respectfully. “Let's change our course to Planet Gaia.” The man ordered. “It shall be done, Sir.” Following that statement the couple could feel the spaceship change its course thanks to their Divine Sense in void outside. “Estimated time to arrival: 5 hours and 39 Minutes.” The AI declared. “I'll go cultivate until we reach our destination. You look exhausted so you should go rest.” He said with concern in his voice. “It's only because I didn't have time to recuperate since I delivered little Yang with all the running around. That and the injuries I've sustained from the attacks. Thankfully with my cultivation and Light Law Level, my injuries are almost completely healed, so it won't affect me much.” She said confidently. “Sigh... If I was stronger, you wouldn't have been hurt. Damn it!” He exclaimed with self-reproach in his voice. “You, stupid man!” She said while putting her hands on her hips and with a angry look on her face. “You're not my protector or my knight in shining armor. You're my partner, both in fights and in everyday life. I'm not a flower vase of a woman who need protection all the time. Don't you know that already?!!” She became angrier and angrier as she kept talking. After asking that question she stared at him with a look that seemed to promise death if he answered wrongly. Cold sweat started to drip from his back from his impending doom, but fortunately he succeeded in keeping a poker face and answered the lethal question. “I didn't mean to demean you, darling. I just hate it when I see you get hurt and I can't do anything. We've been through a lot together but I still can't get used to you getting hurt when we fight together against our enemies. I feel like someone is stabbing my heart every time I see you injured.” Hearing those words full of honey, she started to mellow down and turning her head to the side to hide her blushing face, she then declared. “Although those words of yours are extremely corny, I shall be the better person and forgive you...” Feeling like he went to 'Hell' and back, he roused his energy to dry the sweat soaking his back and then proceeded to kiss her deeply. After a few minutes of sharing what they thought about each other through the movement of their tongues, they slowly separated. “I... May have been... Also a bit in the wrong...” she mumbled in a low voice with her flaming red cheeks and her eyes darting around like a frightened rabbit. “I've been a bit... Tense lately...” Seeing how cute she looked when she was apologizing a few chuckle escaped him and a glimmer of lewdness appeared in his eyes. “W-What are you thinking about?” Feeling like his gaze was not quite right, she asked. “It seems I won't be cultivating until we get there.” He answered in a husky voice with a smile suggesting what he planned to do while sweeping her from her feet. He then proceeded to carry her like a princess to their room, not listening to her half-hearted protests. After a few seconds, moans of pleasure started to emerge from the room louder and louder until a noise that appeared to suggest two people climaxing in ecstasy. A few dozens of seconds of gasping for breath followed until the pleasure they felt went down slightly and they started the process all over again. It repeated many times and lasted until the vessel almost reached Gaia, more than five hours later. “Mr. Hei and Ms. Guang, we will arrive in less than half an hour.” The AI suddenly said. Hearing that, the couple decided to stop their strenuous activity and prepare for the arrival. After a quick shower, the couple went to the Control room to wait until they arrived to the planet. Once they approached the Moon of Gaia they received a request for communication from what seemed to be the planet's authorities. “We should use our Disguising Mana Pill to hide our features before answering. Otherwise, we'll be tracked down too easily if they arrive on this planet before we leave it.” Hei said. “Alright.” Following the consumption of the Pill, they both turned into average looking people with no distinctive features. They then proceeded to answer the Holo-Call. An official-looking man appeared as a hologram in front of them and said. “Welcome to Planet Gaia. Please proceed to the Interplanetary Spatioport. An officer will be there to receive you. Please prepare the information from the list I sent you through this Holo-Call and transmit them to the said Officer. If every information is correct and the Fees are payed, you will be then allowed to park your Spaceship at the designated Parking Spot and then take a shuttle to reach Gaia. On behalf of Gaia's Council, we wish you a happy stay on our beautiful planet.” While the officer was talking, they indeed received a few files, among them was the aforementioned list and a few information about the planet (Tourist spots, and such). Since it wasn't the first planet they visited since they began their escape, they had the information prepared already. Although it was forged, it was sufficiently well done to pass the scrutiny of the most meticulous inspector. Once the AI parked the Spaceship at the designated place, Guang Hua went to the baby's room to take him. She also put every thing they needed in her dimensional ring. The three then proceeded to leave their vessel where an officer was waiting for them. He asked them to follow him to his office where, as expected, after reviewing their information with the help of his office AI, the Immigration officer gave his approval to let them stay on the planet while reminding them that as long as they respected the local laws, they would be fine. They then payed the mandatory fees and left the office. The family of three then decided to follow the man's instructions to reach the Shuttle that was supposed to bring them to Gaia. On the way, they admired the view of the star system through the thick glass windows. In his mother's arms, Little Yang had an entranced look on his face while facing the wonders of the Universe. His parents seeing the look on his face chuckled from amusement but did not stop for long to marvel at the view. They kept walking until they reached the entrance of the Shuttle. Scanning their IDs, the door opened to let them enter. When they entered, they were ushered a huge room with sofas placed strategically around big and small round tables forming small islands circling around what seemed like a restaurant and a bar combined. A few dozen people were seated randomly on the comfortable-looking sofas, chatting in groups of three or four people. Most people there were Humans with only two Elves that kept to themselves and looked like everything around was new and interesting. “Perfect target for tourist traps... Haha...” Hei Qiang had that random thought, which wrested a small laugh out of him. “Let's get something to eat, darling, and then find somewhere to sit.” She nodded and replied. “Let's see if their specialties are as delicious as they bragged in the information they sent us.” She started salivating with the thought of eating new cuisines. After that small exchange, they went to order a few appetizing-looking dishes for themselves and then went to take a seat close to one of the group of humans. While waiting for the food to arrive they started to discuss with the others and asked them about noteworthy news around. A woman from the group seeing how cute the baby was decided to share what she knew. She talked about a few 'strong' local cultivators, the relationship between different organizations on the planet, treaties between the local government and other nearby planets, etc. These information allowed the couple to be a lot more familiar with the environment they were going to be in. The conversation lasted even after the food arrived and until the Shuttle approached the Planetary Terminal, after which an announcement was made by the onboard AI. “We are currently approaching the Planetary Terminal. Passengers are expected to prepare their luggage and other personal effects and move towards the exits indicated by the staff. Thank you for your understanding and we hope your flight with our Shuttle was pleasant.” After hearing the announcement, everyone followed the instructions and moved calmly toward the exit close to them. A few seconds later the doors opened and the passengers exited the Shuttle while looking around. The family of three then went directly toward the exit of the Planetary Terminal in search of a nice Hotel to get some rest and then do some sightseeing. *************** Mortal Realm, Grade 1 Planet Gaia, in a forest, a few hundred kilometers from the family of three. A portal appeared suddenly from nowhere. A woman in a white combat suit then flew out of it and landed a few meters away. “Mmh...?” A surprised exclamation sounded from her. Her presence started to weaken extremely quickly until it reached Peak Level 9 Mortal. “My power is restricted to Peak Level 9 Mortal by the Realms' Laws and I can feel the latter being a lot more blurred than I'm used to... The Mana seems to be just enough for Peak Level 3 Mortal... Could I be in the Mortal Realm?” She wondered aloud in disbelief. “So I am back after a few million years... Would it have changed completely...?” She mumbled under her breath. After a few seconds of reminiscing she shook her head to clear her mind and thought. “Let's find the other seal first. The rest can wait.” She then took flight and left like lightning towards the trio. The forest then started becoming noisy again as if to celebrate the fact that they escaped from a great predator.
