《Balance OF THE FOUR PATHS》Chapter 4:Allowed to join or made to stay?
Advertisement
After binding the young women to the fan all the girls were given two arts one for self cultivation and other was a formation art. Formation arts are a way for cultivators to pool their strength together and fight as one.
This was one of the many ways that cultivators could fight people stronger then them. Even though all of the arts given to him by Master Yin Devil weren't ranked you could tell how powerful they were based on how strong The plum tree sect is.
The sect only got a few random technique from the formation and is now one of the top sects in the world. This means him and the girls with the core techniques of Master yin devil may become overly powerful.
After passing the technique the child said "Their are now eighty one of you. I only need one to follow me the rest of you have to go into the space in the fan. There are many types of space in the Funshi world but the one in the fan could inhabit people, animals, and plants alike.
This child is unbelievably lucky for this to become his Natal Treasure.
After talking amongst themselves the oldest of the girls named Yu ling bowed and said" I will be me who travels with you. I don't know haw a baby grew so tall but I have this weird feeling in my heart that tells me you aren't the Enemy But, instead someone really close to me. It's weird, the only person I ever felt this close to was my mom."
After she was done speaking the child sneered with a look of someone obviously superior. "It doesn't mater who you were close to before now, you are mine and I am yours."This is what the seal told the child. Him and the rest of the girls are connected in a way no one else ever could be. It was on a demonic level.

"okay, enough now! from this moment forth you will be the leader and relay my commands. But remember before you their leader you are my person you will follow me and wait on me, okay?"
The young girl not knowing what partner meant walked up to him and puffed up her nonexistent chest and said " leave it to me!"
The patriarch who was quietly sitting on the side. Was stuck in a daze. A lot of impossible things happen right in front of him. Stuff of legends. He couldn't let this child leave the sect. This child needed to be trained by him. Even if he told the sect leader and madam Lu that the child suddenly grew five feet tall and bonded with Spirit Treasure in half a breath, who would believe it?
The patriarch was now regretting asking the elders to leave. There were ways of telling someone's age by there bones or blood but the formation did things to these children that obscures both.
The patriarch shook his head and decided to first speak with the child and then choose what to do. Now that he had some interesting things on him let's see if he can make a good choice when asked.
The patriarch waved for the boy to come to him. the child smiled, with a smile that wasn't a smile. waving his fan the child nodded and walked closer before sitting cross legged in front of the patriarch.
even as a master that cultivated all the way up to earth immortal, even he couldn't help but shutter. When the patriarch looked at the boy he saw a completely different person. Overlapping with the child's figure. The patriarch took out a peak rank spirit stone to fill his Qi reserves. A high rank one would Barley fill a quarter of his Qi reserves. If he wants to get to the bottom of this situation he needed his Qi to be at its peak. After using up all of the Qi in the spirit stone the stone disintegrated into powder.

Normally when master use spirit stones they take most of the Qi and leave a tinny amount inside so the Qi can regenerate itself naturally, but if you use use up all the Qi you lose a good way to store Qi naturally and high ranking Qi storages were already rare.
The patriarch wasn't just a formation master he was also a dual cultivation expert and a soul oracle. Soul oracle is a mysterious perfection. They worked with all thing that was connected with the soul. Be it controlling, sealing or exercising.
The patriarch quickly took out his zither and started playing a slow but snores tone witch would at time become high pinched and irritating. This was one of many spirit exercising tones in the Funshi world.
It was a high rank art that uses a lot of Qi quickly. If you looked at the child's face you could see the sneer on his face change into something more and more horrifying. A face of a hungry ghost was slowly materializing above the child's face.
The hungry ghost face opened its mouth and said "Hahahaha so you finally noticed huh? Took you long enough. What kind of idiot are you couldn't even stop a formation this simple and let this child get possessed. Hahah!"
The patriarch thought it wasa little lingering spirit that was attached to the child but he was sourly wrong. This was a high level hungry ghost. It couldn't be exercised. If you come into to contact with a high level hungry ghost you only had three options.
one kill yourself before it possesses you. Two have someone else kill you and finally three witch is the only way to survive, have someone seal your cultivation and wait for the hungry ghost to either submit or leave your body.
there was a final one that a lot of people don't know about. If a soul oracle seals the hungry ghost, you could keep a limited amount of your cultivation, and the hungry ghost only has one choice from there to choose from.
either, submit to you or stay sealed in you forever. But the part it's sealed in would belong partly to the hungry ghost so the sealer has to choose wisely.
Imagine you give your right leg to the ghost and while your in a fight it uses your leg to forcefully stop your movement during a fight. This could get you gravelly injured or even killed Leting the ghost rein free once again.

The Foretold: Sun Child (Complete)
As a sixteen year old commoner, your future is bleak. Worse, your appearance sets you apart from others. Your only achievement so far, is befriending the second son of the Lord of the Keep. He has been your only friend for eleven years, initially partner in mischief and later your hunting companion and confidant. Now your friendship is being torn asunder, he has turned eighteen and is being sent away to become a Judge Knight Aspirant. What is to become of you? Before your friend leaves, there is murder and conspiracy! Magic left the land hundreds of years ago, all you have is your bow and hunting skills, nevertheless you must fight to survive and save another to have any hope of a future! Note: The graphic isn't mine; it is a re-imagining of a few separate images, any objections by original artists let me know. N.B. If you are looking for Sexual Content every chapter, or every second, third or fourth chapter this isn't the story for you - the Sexual Content is required for a plot device, not a way of life and the later chapters reflect that - please stop dropping Low Ratings when you feel I haven't met your idea of "fan service". This is finished as much as a multi book vision can be finished. At 750,000 words give or take and very little readership I can only blame myself. I have learnt a lot, possibly forgotten a lot as well! I will probably return to the Chapters at some point - a touch up here and a touch up there. The second book though will probably remain in my head for a very long time, so yes "cliffs" although I hope the characters and their motivations are developed enough that you can have a good guess at the content of Book Two and tell me so I can confirm or deny! This isn't a LITRPG where classes are developed, great foes are defeated by a hero of immense power. This is a story based within (I hope) a very real and consistent culture, that leaves breadcrumbs for the reader to work out what the heck is happening and why. This is a slow burn story as the MC is stumbling around discovering her new place and role. Author's Note (Apr 2021): I dropped the Fantasy Genre for the Mystery Genre, because while the setting mentions magic, is it about past glories and trying to return to them. Whereas the MC from Chapter One doesn't understand her predicament and the range of mysteries she must solve to survive. If I have this wrong PM me and I will change this back.
