About a hundred years ago, the Tang Clan is nothing but a small family belonged to the Nine Tyrant Empire. The family struggles for survival, fighting with fellow city dwellers to maintain as of the most stronger family among the city.
Every five year, all male younger than 30 years old and older than 10 years old should be enlisted into the Nine Tyrants Empire's Army, and would required to serve the military for a minimal 5 years before you would be released back to your family, and continue to breed, keeping the military population strong.
The Tang Clan, or more likely to be a mere fifteen heads household, had 5 of their children and two adults was enlisted, leaving only three women, three female children, a child and a male at his age of 40. with all the capable male have been enlisted into the military, the family tried their hardest to survive.
The oldest male is assigned to doing the trading with other house, leading the family while protecting the house from any outside threat.
The three women, due to their husband failed to return after two years, it is assumed that their spouse dies from the war. With the cruel fate falling to them, the women have no other choices, but to continue their duty as a woman, a female, and continue to bear more child with the only man left in the house.
While for the young girls within the family, they would be educated, taken cared of until they reach the marriage age, and to be exchanged for others in return of weapon, martial arts, and many different things.
Ten years later, a person is leading a battalion of Calvary, under the flag of Nine Tyrants Empire Elite Calvary, is entering the city, just to look for his long lost families.
This person is the one that leads the Tang Clan to their glory.
His name is, Tang Long.
Tang Long is among one of the 5 children that were sent to the battlefield, and only he managed to return home. As he reaches his previous house, the family head is dead, and the only women that were left are struggling to take care of their remaining children.
From that moment, The Tang Family rose in strength, producing elites captains and commanders one after another, and almost all the competition is between the Tang Family and the other 3 strongest families.
During that time, Tang Long is believed to be a cultivator of Late Heaven King Tier. Under his guidance, the Tang Family quickly overcome the threat from the other three families and executed them under the reason of treason.
But after around thirty years, the family started to fall.
Many Tang commanders and captains fall in the war between the three empires, and even some of them failed to achieve even above adept Tier cultivation.
The fall of the Tang Family slowly cause disturbance to the Nine Tyrants Empire current king and was expelled from the Nine Tyrant Empire because of their failure again and again.
The family then ended in the Brilliant Jade Kingdom and establishing their clan.
At first, although a failed family from Nine Tyrant Empire had already moved from an empire to a Kingdom to reside within, their strength is still a remarkable thing within a kingdom.

The Clan is established, and from there, they try to rise up once again.
Until the gap of 80 years is over, Elder Tang Wen, as their Oldest Brother or well known as Tang Yi before he changes his name to Tang Wen, lead the current generation.
But in elder Tang Wen's 30th birthday, his position is taken by the new upcoming youngest brother among his generation.
Tang Shiwu.
Younger than Elder Tang Wen by 15 years, Elder Tang Wen could not believe his eyes when this young brother of his actually has the strength of a Peak Master Tier.
Without a match, Elder Tang Wen defeated and was expelled from the Clan because of his outdated and reserving attitude when leading the Clan.
By losing the clan head seat to Tang Shiwu, Elder Tang Wen leave the clan with all the knowledge he has and continues his path by being a pill master.
Through hard work, effort, and patience, he finally obtained the title [Elder of Ointments], but this doesn't heal his heartache of failure to continue leading the Tang Clan.
With him leaving the seat to somebody more compatible, Tang Shiwu lead the Tang Clan with more than an Iron Fist Rule.
First, he came out with the research and discovery of Primordial Lust Bug and the completed refining version, the Primordial Thunderclap.
Second, he created the Fifteen Eldest Master, with him along as the leader. Except Tang Wen or Tang Yi, the other fourteen Tang Brothers are all within this together.
Third, he expands the strength of the Clan, from 1000 men strong Clan into a 30 000 Men strong Clan.

Long Feng wakes up about the same time today, but as today is exactly one full month he had been a disciple of the Bronze Pill Hall, Long Feng required to make his way over to the Education Building, and withdraw his lot of monthly cultivation supplies.
Carrying all the item he recently obtained from the building, Long Feng quickly make his way back to his room and leave the Bronze Pill Hall together with Hong Yue.
The two of them walked towards the outskirt of the city, where Long Feng's house is located.
As he the road he has been playing on it for a total of ten years, Long Feng felt a slight feeling of missing the past.
Long Feng walked pass four more house and managed to see the house he stayed with his mother for the previous ten years.
"Mother, I'm home!" Long Feng wait no more, as he ran as quick as he could to stand before the door.
Long Feng voice could be heard from the house beside his, and before his mother came out, the neighbors already come out to have a look on this "Good boy" that had left the house for one whole month.
"Xiao Feng, you are home!" One aunt that stays beside Long Feng's house came out to greet this boy.
"Aunt Guo, how are you doing?" Long Feng politely return the greeting of this old lady.
"Xiao Feng? My son?" the door opened and a lady appeared before the door.

"It's really my young boy!" Xiao Feng's mother is so happy to see her child, as she takes two more step, and hugged this child she missed for a whole month.
"Mother, let us go in and talk. I need to introduce you to my Slave Pet as well." Long Feng push her mother from hugging him so tightly and had her to walk back into the house.
"Look at how filial is that child, Lan Hua(Long Feng's mother name) really have a good fortune this time." the neighbor can't help but to feel a slight jealousy from looking at Long Feng.
Within the house, Lan Hua seats as she looks at where her child had changed after going out to learn as a disciple. Although the difference is not too visible to notice, as a mother who had been taking care of this child for a total of ten years, it would be impossible for Long Feng to hide anything from her.
"Naughty Kid, who is this girl that taking care of your cloth?" Lan Hua's first word is related to Long Feng and Nan Jing Jing's case.
"What? Mother how come you know about this?" Long Feng has no idea that his mother would immediately notice the cases between him and Nan Jing Jing.
"Mighty Lord!!! Save me!" Long Feng beg the god to save him.
"Of course mother knows about it. Who do you think I am?" Long Feng's mother bears the same attitude like Long Feng, and as she starts speaking...
"First, your garments. Whenever you are taking care of your own clothes, you will always miss the part at underarm, and it would always be crumpled whenever you are wearing those clothes."
"Second, you smell good, you do not notice, but mother knows you too well. The moment you changed your bathing soap, the mother already know what makes you notice that."
"Third, your clothes are all well folded before you wear it... For ten years mother taking care of you, I never see you manage to fold the cloth nicely. This must be not your handiwork. If it's not a girl, then who it is?" Long Feng mother explains nonstop and makes Long Feng give up on keeping it a secret.
"Where is this lady?" Lan Hua stares at her child as she questions him.
"Oh, mother! She misses her parents as well, of course, she went home to meet her parents." Long Feng quickly come out with an excuse.
"Li Long Feng! Come out!" a loud voice could be heard from outside of the house.
Long Feng soul immediately vanished and disappeared as he heard Nan Jing Jing's voice outside of the house.
"Must be her." Lan Hua smile as she looks at her blur and dumbfounded child.
Long Feng mother went to the door, opened it as she greets Nan Jing Jing first.
"Hello, are you looking for my child, Xiao Feng?"
"Hello mother, I am Jing Jing, Long Feng already propose to me, you see?" Nan Jing Jing introduces herself as she called Lan Hua mother. She even shows her the ring on her hand and indicates that this is bought and given by her child.
"Li Long Feng... where do you want your head to be twisted?" Lan Hua turned from happy to shock, from shock to anger, from anger to furious.
Two women in the room, one man.
From getting questioned to getting a pinch, hit, knock and scolded, Long Feng, suffer all he could for the whole day, until dinner.
"Mother..." Long Feng pitifully called his mother.
"What?" Lan Hua replied the young child, but still keeping that cool demeanor on her.
"Mother, this is Hong Yue, my cultivation beast pet." Long Feng hold Hong Yue with both hands and allows his mother to have a look.
"Xiao Yue, now you are one of the family, alright?" Lan Hua pets Hong Yue a little and noticed that the Lizard seems to be shedding its scales, as her hand have some remains of the scales stick on her palm.
"Fat Lizard, did you get heavier?" Long Feng finally noticed Hong Yue's weight seems to get heavier between 250gm to 300gm.
As he releases Hong Yue and allows it to walk freely again, Long Feng noticed some scales sticking on his palm.
"You fat lizard, are you going through a shedding?" Long Feng speaks in his mind together with Hong Yue.
"Hong Yue thinks so. Hong Yue's body is very warm and energetic, it feels this way after Hong Yue eaten the moth in the room." Hong Yue replied.
As Long Feng heard this reply, he was in a shock.
"What did you say? The moth?" Long Feng starts to get nervous.
"Yes, master, It's a big fat moth." Hong Yue replies without pause, and that reply gave Long Feng a heart attack.
"No! This damn lizard actually ate the Atlas Moth. This is why the Worm is no longer at the Pitcher Plant!"
"Wait, then where is the pitcher? Even the pitcher is missing." Long Feng remembered the pot containing the pitcher plant is slightly different from what it used to be, but pay no attention as he was supposed to return home.
"Oh well, I guess that's fate. Hong Yue, make sure you don't waste the nutritious value of the moth." Long Feng felt that there is no reason to get angry on Hong Yue, so he put aside the matter and pay more attention to Hong Yue instead.
"Mother, this is my monthly payment of 20 Middle-Rank Cultivation Pellets and 5 Upper-Rank Cultivation Pellets." Long Feng put the 25 Pellets into his mother's palm, forcing her to accept it.
"Silly boy, do you think the mother cannot handle herself after this monster get away to study?" Lan Hua happy with her child's filialness, but choose to reply with some different words instead.
That night, the three of them is blessed with a different surprised instead.

lovely | poetry
Sometimes my voice dies in my throat, buries itself beneath waves of crippling suffocation, burns itself out as cold hands tear at my laced skin. I have smiled while my eyes have cried and pleaded, my wrists numb, my lips wobbling and blue, and stars escaping this dark night that I'm trapped in. I long for a darkness that gives way to light. But I do feel the warmth of petals gathering and scattering in my cold bones, and imagine the touch and the sweetness of a kiss, and my heart rises to the surface of this sea and finds a sky painted by passing artists remaining far above our heads. I'm breathing out all the words I've kept locked under the pages of my breaking mind. And by doing so, I'm going to heal.TRIGGER WARNINGS: depression, anxiety, self harm, suicidal thoughts, OCD, panic attacks
