''No way! This DaoYu Sect can't be that DaoYu Sect, that's impossible.'' Golden Dragon King couldn't believe his ears. DaoYu Sect was a legendary sect that rose fast and fell even faster, but no one could undermine their achievements.

''DaoYu made themselves a big name in the past, lots of sect came out with the same name after their fall, this must be one of them.'' Crimson Lion King agreed with his friend.

While everyone was discussing between themselves, a strange occurrence happened that nobody noticed.

Ice Empress's expression changed for the first time in who knows how long time.

Her gaze contained unexplainable nostalgia.

She couldn't even think properly. Her mind was filled with distant memories that constantly flashed past each other.

''Elder brother...'' she unconsciously muttered to herself.

Screen suddenly shifted showing the same scene, only a few months later.

Both of them were growing up well beyond measure, not only physically, but also in cultivation.

Their master who didn't seem to age one bit spoke up.

''As you both know, cultivation to perfection starts from the Qi Condensation realm. First, you gather qi and strengthen various parts of your body then you accumulate qi thanks to your now strengthened and body that can carry qi without any mishaps.''

''Thanks to your talents, you both managed to go past that stage easily in just a few weeks.''

A commotion took place outside the screen.

''A few weeks?! The Qi condensation stage is almost as important as the Foundation Building stage! Their future might be in ruins if they rush past it so quickly, what kind of master lets them do such things?!'' Golden Dragon King was furious to the core. Even though he wasn't known for his love or mercy, he was still a cultivator and a leader, seeing the future of young people get completely ruined by scammy masters was always a big displeasure for him.

''Your prediction was correct. Turns out, this sect is indeed a copycat sect that came out after the original one found its fame and glory.''

''Let's not rush into conclusions. I feel like neither those kids nor that old man is simple.'' Elder Mo Jang suddenly cut off their discussion with a small smirk.

A shock spread around.

Elder Mo Jang was known for his wisdom, hearing such contradictory things from him was weird enough for them to check their ears to see if they were working properly!

'Could it be that the rumors about him are just rumors?' Some people thought.

'Elder Mo Jang saw something that I couldn't, I can get some insights from the situation.' Some other people thought.

Old master in the scene continued his talk.

''You didn't stop there, but just jumped through the foundation building stage in just a few days...'' this the old man sighed with a face filled with disbelief.

''How inattentive and incompetent a master can be?!''

''But they finished Foundation Building so fast, it seems like they have talent. Maybe it's good for them this way?''

''Come here and let me clean your ears with my Heavenly Purification Fire art. It seems like they've gone to shit so bad that you can't even hear what comes out of your own mouth!''

''Are you going senile!? I just said that there was a possibility! I dare you to say that again and I will put a green hat on your old head!''

Ice Empress muted the discussion as she tried to keep her face under control.

'I used to be so foolish back then...' under her veil, a small smile formed before disappearing quickly.

'If I knew he was the reincarnation of my elder brother, I would have risked my life to save him.' she shook her head in disappointment.

'Alas, it's too late for such thoughts. I could resurrect him easily if his soul was still intact, but it seems like even his soul couldn't survive.'

Scene on the screen changed once again to everyone's surprise.

''It seems like we won't get to see anything properly.''

''Heavenly Merit Acquisition works in mysterious ways, I'm sure it has a purpose.''

''This is less interesting than I thought it would be, it seems like I'm just wasting my time.''

''Yeah, I thought the young man would show me some unique experiences, but it seems like we won't get to see anything more than some random life bits.''

''Hmph, you're stuck at the Soul Transformation stage due to this impatience of yours. You're already 1231 years old yet you act like a child.''

As friends bickered with each other, the scene cleared up to show the young man again.

---

''Little Jing don't bully those people in the future, they're not worth our time.'' he appeared to be scolding his junior sister with a joking expression.

''Yes, I will make sure to see if they're worth my time next time, thank you for your wisdom elder brother!'' she nodded her head several times with a serious face as she ate the sweets she got as a 'gift' from the people she just defeated.

''Tch, not even their sweets are worth the time.'' she spat it out with resentment.

Young man shook his head with a small smile and patted her head.

''Don't worry, your big bro will just buy you whatever sweet you want.''

''Big bro is the bestest!''

''Indeed I am.''

Outside the mirror, the scenes were met with mixed emotions.

Some were nostalgic.

''I had a sisterly relationship like this as well, ah the young days, how I miss them.''

Some more emotional people cried.

''M-my little sister who died just a few hours ago during the battle... We used to be just like this! WHY! Why did it have to be her!''

As people supported the more unfortunate ones, Empress of Ice focused on her own face.

In the end, she created an illusion and let loose her emotions.

''Those moments that I will never get back... I would get revenge 10 times if I could.'' she murmured in rushed breaths.

Space Empress noticed her peculiarity but ignored her out of respect.

'Interesting... To think that icy queen would be so weak to sisterly bonds.' she smiled to herself.

Screen continued its showing.

Boy and the girl chatted as they strolled the streets.

''Listen well now, I will give you some wisdom even our master can't give.''

''My ears belong to you elder brother! Impart your wisdom please!'' she nodded passionately.

''If you hit someone who looks rich and arrogant, you have to do it properly. Young masters always have backings and if their backers find you, you will have to fight for your life again and again and again.''

''Take out the weed from the roots! This sister understands your wisdom!'' her head bobbed back and forth seriously.

''If you hit a young master, his elder brother will come. If you hit him, his father will come. If you beat that guy, their sect or family elders will come. Then here comes the sect leader, and before you know it, you are already killing their chickens and dogs while fighting their sect ancestor.

''That's why you have to kill the young master secretly without leaving any trace! We are righteous people, we can not kill innocent servants and chickens of a sect just because their owners keep seeking death.''

''Yes, elder brother!''
