Chapter 2 - Change of Appearance

“Human form is so interesting. I can pick things up with my body without having to pierce through it first. It's also easy to seal the power of a human. Wonder how I broke out of the seals in human form…”

……

“The seals will seal away the Guandao for a while, so I’m not sure how long until it finds a human worthy wielding it's power. If it doesn't, then it may be stuck there forever.” Dwargni mulled over in the furnace pavilion in his courtyard. “Just in case, I’ll make a weapon specifically to counter it. That way, I won't have to be too afraid of the ramifications that heaven will bring on me for ruining a world.”

……

Maha continued to follow the master and disciple’s trail at a lesuirely pace and enjoyed the scenery. After witnessing 100 years of killing and 9900 years of being a punching bag, everything was interesting.

A bird came flying by hurling happily as it followed its flock. It began to lose power and feel towards Maha. Maha caught the bird and checked for its injuries, but the bird was dead.

A dark miasma flowed from the bird’s and the bird turned to an ashy gray, before crumbling to dust.

Sad that the first lunch creature he touched died, Maha continued to follow the master and disciple duo as his mood slightly dampened.

……

“To think that I Senju Tanaka, would end up having power after transporting here from earth. Those chinese martial arts movies are my cheat in this world! I will become invincible!” Thought Senju Tanaka, the timid disciple who had ‘broken’ the testing rock. “Master, when are you going to teach me internal cultivation?”

“Do not rush it disciple, for cultivation has many Daos. In the times long gone, Dao of weapons was the most well known and powerful Dao. The ability to infuse your being into one stroke of the sword, and project it in the form of a sword’s blade. That is sword intent.

To be able to shoot that intent in multiple beams like the Dao of Magic. To be able to fuse your soul with the sword the you held, temporarily changing your body structure. That was the state of one with the sword. That would convert all your power into one of a sword’s.

Dao has infinitely many paths, but many are undiscovered. To learn a Dao as you proceed in your cultivation will strengthen your foundations, and allowing you the advantage in the moment of truth in the last moments before ascending to immortality.

I can definitely tell the difference, as I failed the last moment because my foundation wasn't strong enough…” The master trailed off.

Naturally he was posturing and making it up, Senju took it for the truth, and excitedly said “Disciple understands.”

……

Maha, with a burger king toy in his pocket, and ashes in his hand, blew away the ashes, the slowly sauntered towards the trail that he followed.

Maha came up to a lake and looked in the reflection.

“Am I alive? If I get decapitated in human form, will I die? … maybe all weapons are living, and humans just don't see it.” Thought Maha and ripples disrupted his reflection.

A school of green fish came up to the surface and kept splashing, as if to say “don't feel down… Im a fish… blup…”

When Maha reached out to touch the fish, they retreated back into the water.

Across from the lake, a couple of children were playing with the green fish, and the fish didn’t run away.

With a thought, Maha hid behind a tree and slowly transformed his appearance into that of 9 year old boy. Same black hair and golden eyes. His silvery white colored skin looked more plump, and two dragon tattoos formed on his forehead, facing each other with a jewel that said king in between.

Maha edged toward the children who were playing with the fish slowly. Then called out “hey! Can I play with you guys?” Despite being over 10000 years old, Maha was still a child mentally, for he had been sealed away at birth.

“We don't play with girls! Go away you white skinned kooties machine!”

“Yeah, go away you bird poop skin person!”

“Lets throw stones at her and watch her cry!

“That's a little far isn't it?”

“I don't wanna play anymore, let's go away.”

Maha was left alone. Realizing that his skin was too white and girl like, he transformed himself so that his skin was more toned into a light tan. Then shortened his hair that was down to his waist. The hair receded to a much shorter hairstyle that didn't even reach his shoulders.

Maha reached out to the fish again and touched one. Being younger was better. He could touch the fish without scaring them off.
