At the mountainous outskirts of the 3rd class city where Zhou Ye lived there was the Coming of Age Ceremony happening at a certain village, this was an event happening every year and this was for people at age of 10-12. There were three ceremonies in which the first was 5-6 years of age symbolising basic potential and what they would study on and the other being 10-12 where one would start training then at 16-18 one would be officialy an adult and be given their job.

It had been a few months since all the events from before and now Zhou Ye had turned 11 and he was walking to a small house near his own and the house he was walking to was none other then were the brother and sister duo Ye Cheng and Ye Yin lived (respectively). Yuan Li would only come from time to time to try and help the two cultivate. Zhou Ye was currently at late stage Spirit Disciple his status could be considered somewhat important where they lived and he would definitely qualify as a genius at almost any other places below a Domain. Places like a Domain or above he couldn't really be considered that important even as a young child genius. Perhaps in a province he might be considered somewhat a genius

Zhou Ye's foundation was rock solid and at this current time he was sitting with his eyes closed at a mountain and lightning came down from the skies striking it down time by time at its very peak causing the attention of a few people to notice the lightning then moving away. The lightning was not tribulation nor natural but rather lightning generated from within Zhou Ye's dantian.

Other than Zhou Ye taking the ceremony there was also Ye Cheng who was now 12 and Ye Yin was now 14 as they did not have birthdates rather instead by the years in order to keep it more simpler. Ye Cheng was also a bit more smarter than before despite being the son of the city lord of Rusof before the information and knowledge the former Rosuf city could provide would never compare to Yuan Li's knowledge.

Over the months Zhou Ye's and Ye Yin's relation slowly managed to come together however as time passed they thought themselves more as brother and sister instead then anything. At their village there wasn't really that many things to do except for hunting for beasts at the forest which people rarely did. The Village as a whole were generally friendly.

At the city were three families that lived they were the Zhou Family which the head was a late stage Spirit Master and at the village was a branch of the main family and that specific branch at the village was the branch family that Zhou Ye lived in. There was also the the Liang Family which was actually a branch from the main family which existed at the Liang Country which was called the Liang Clan with a Soul Cultivator leading them! A Soul cultivator meant a powerhouse that could control an entire country! Currently at the Liang family was a Late Spirit Master

Of course however that clan wouldn't care about a measly branch at an backwater city... Other than was also the Dongfeng Family with the leading head being a Spirit Master cultivator who was at secluded meditation in hopes of breaking through to Spirit Lord! Other than the head there were also a few initial Spirit Practitioners and two middle Spirit Masters. If the Dongfeng head did break through to become a Spirit Lord they would instantly be capable of becoming the city lord and turn the city into a Ruler City! The gap between a 3rd Rate City and Ruler city was simply to big the three families were obviously here for something special.

Each family actually had the resources and powers to be barely called a Silver power (1st Rate City Lord) however the three families had resources that could complement each other and if they did so unite under one flag without a doubt they could be an Gold power (Ruler City). However the three families had quite resented each other and actually helped each other when one of the three families were gaining to much power and had to be struck down.

The powers of families and the alike were measured by the system of Copper:2hd-1st Rate City Lord. Gold: Ruler City. Dark Gold: Province. Platinum: Major Province. Titanium: Domain. Obsidian: Country Power. Bronze: Spirit Master, Silver: Peak Spirt Master, Gold: Spirit Lord, Dark Gold: Peak Spirit Lord, Platinum: Spirit Fusion, Titanium: Peak Spirit Fusion, Obsidian: Soul.

This was a wide used system by the Black Serpent Continent which facilliated how strong an power exactly was of course an empire wouldn't be measured by this scale due to their powers being to great.

The truth was that the three families did not want the land or to rule the population (mainly mortals) but rather wanted access to an strange cave emitting Spirit Fusion essence which were the only reasons the three families lived there. Without a doubt if not for the Fusion essence none of the families would even care about the 3rd Rate City and the official was quite surprised when he got there to give the token of City lord as he was a Spirit Master believing he would meet lower cultivators but rather found many on his own level and higher... The essence of a fusion cultivator was a Platinum power meaning a major Province!

Back at the mountain as the lightning continued coming down from the mountain Zhou Ye then opened his eyes and left the mountain and jumped of the mountain and found himself going down an extremely quickly speed. To any ordinary Spirit Disciple it would kill them however Zhou Ye had the favour of heavens and they would not turn their back on him... Because of that Zhou Ye's Spirit disciple could be considered someone else's Spirit Practitioner stage.

Zhou Ye was heading to now was none other than his home and two people near it could be seen and those two were Ye Yin and Ye Cheng who were waiting for them and talking to each other Ye Cheng at that time seemed and looked very bored and said with a lousy voice "Wheres Elder brother Ye! I m so bored!!!..." Ye Yin then calmy said "If your so bored then study those cultivation methods Uncle taught you" Ye Cheng then immediately stopped looking bored and asked Ye Yin "Say do you ever think we'll meet our benefactor?" Ye Cheng wasn't that much intent on learning who saved him however Ye Yin was because she asked a few questions to Yuan Li whilst they were walking to the city and Yuan Li simply replied he was very powerful and that he would accept Ye Cheng and Ye Yin as his disciples once they reached Spirit Master stage.

Ye Yin during that time aswell constantly asked more and more questions and Ye Cheng would occasionally say some things about the benefactor in order to get Ye Yin excited for a second. Ye Yin was very excited to one day meet her savior as she was running with Ye Cheng she could see a levitating figure and she knew what levitating meant and what type of people could do such a feat. Ye Yin wanted revenge against the rebellers and the former Rosuf City was now called Han City. Ye Yin knew without power she couldn't do anything so she decided to train and keep on training until she could reach the stage enough to reclaim Rosuf City.
