tale 29 : night 1 : life is simple as death

after the mess created by sun , the whole lin and soo family started to search for sun. sun was still in outer city so he was in danger of being found out. If he can't advance to tier 8 and have strength of a true tier than he could just forget about leaving the outer city or paradise empire.

imperial families and other royal families and noble family's ignored this commotion. everyone were searching for sun in the city while sun was hidding in high hill mountain.

It was night

in somewhere in high hill mountain , sun tied the rope on the hands of jia soo. her hands were tied behind and her legs too. but her mouth wasn't.

sun was sitting on the riverbank while thinking of something.

alina took some meat soups that were cooked by sun and not alina , for jia. After reaching to jia , alina said " you should eat this.You must be hungry. " with that she used spoon to feed jia soo. but jia simply ignored her and shouted " leave me , or else my soo family wouldn't leave you guys alive "

she was cursing sun and alina for kidnapping her.

While at the same time sun was cultivating the life and death.

"what is life ? is life means to live ? does life means to not die ?" sun thought for a moment "death is about end of life and beginning of reincarnation cycle. death means to leave the body and return to orgin, leaving vessel while returning back to your own orgin. so what is life ?"

sun put more force in it and started to think and think. "let's take it like this , life and death Are the two princes of the same Kingdom that wants to become a king with any means.

This two are the same sides of a small coin. hm.. let's think like this life is the reflection of death. but doesn't reflexion always have their side in wrong way ? like if I were to look my self in the mirror than my right eye will be in left side and my left eye will be in right side , if only my reflection were to turn around.

…damn! If I can't break this shackle than how am I gonna learn other life arts ? wait ! that's it. how about this , if death is the end of the life and beginning of reincarnation cycle than isn't life end of the reincarnation cycle and beginning of new birth ? If death is mean to leave the vessel and return back to its orgin than doesn't life means to search for new vessel and leave their orgin ?"

a smile roses on his face , he thought " than could it mean if I were to find a vessel for myself and level my vessel to possess another vessel ,does this means to call " soul transmigration art " in life art ?"

it simply , life is simple as death…haha !!

he thought of something for awhile before smiling.

He began to circulate his death energy in his acupuncture , dantians and meridians in his body.

swoosh

gathering life energy and death energy in his abdomen he slowly , slowly gathered his two different energies together like yin and yang.

A sudden feeling of dying and living were felt by sun. He kept on circling his energies together.

cough*

he coughed bloods because of reaction between life and death , he hurriedly used yin mark for death energy while yang mark for life energy. A yin yang diagram appeared below him on the ground. There were few drawing crafted on it. On the side of yang was four drawing. One was a drawing of reincarnation cycle. another had a life in a womb. another had a birth. another had an experience of life. on the side of yin were also four drawing. One had an orgin . another had a soul leaving for vessel. another had a search for meaning of existence. another had a experience of dead.

This was the life and death cycle , first living in as orgin than leaving the orgin for search of vessel , another had the search for meaning of life and death. another had a question about existence , another had a process of reincarnation, than having a birth with a vessel , than living life , gaining experience and returning back to the orgin.

sun's whole body started to emit life and death energy. He circulate life energy in his spirit while death energy in his body. His body was a vassal and his soul was the orgin. slowly , slowly , his body started to witteren like a flower. slowly , his soul started to bloom full of vitality like a flower.

This wasn't an art that was before , this was his own creation that he created from his own understanding between life and death. His vessel needs to be undying in order for him to be strong , while his soul needs to be everlasting in order to be powerful.

slowly like a blazing sun and peaceful moon , his body brust out huge amount of life and death energies.

boom

boom

the whole nearby area got shaken by this , even jia and alina were shocked watching this. sun focused on creating a core in his body. A core will help him to balance his two different powers or else he will die someday by unbalanced powers.

sun's whole body was like a dry tree , while his soul was a lively heavenly mountain. His strength started to strengthen.his powers started to increase. but it didn't mean he brokethrough. He slowly channeled his both energies differently and made a huge amount of soul source in the middle of his chest. than he slowly started to form it into incorporeal element to corporeal element.

A very dark stone was created in his body while a very green stone was created in his soul. A life and death core , minor level , was created by himself.

opening his eyes , sun took a long breath and closed it again and focused in stabilising his new powers.

…. ??

what did he do just now ? both girls thought.

After an hours , sun stood up . He saw it was dark everywhere , a moon hanging in the sky while stars rearing it.

He turned to look at jia and walked to her very slowly and calmly. than he stood in front of her. He glared at her with his demonic eyes.

being glared by him , jia felt very uncomfortable so she stopped looking at him. sun said " your soo family or whatever it is. They can't threaten me because I am not a person that can easily be messed with " he formed a demon beasts through his demonic energy on his right palm , he continued " I am a man that has lived between predators "than he formed a skull of a living " faced death countless time and felt fear every second of life " with that he formed an ashes " I walked as a weak just like an ashes " with that a small sword was formed through that ashes " forged to be a sword " with that he showed her , beasts getting killed with the sword " learn to kill and survive " a throne was created " learn to rule " a sun was created now , his eyes showed arrogance in it. He said " my father use to tell me , sun always lights the whole world .

It never let's us live in darkness forever. It is the most kindest thing in the world but when it rages it burns the whole world so according to it , just like that I am a sun. so don't try to threaten me. I might burn you to your death "

with that he sat down and started to cultivate life and death once more. jia was sweating cold beads of sweats with fear. His eyes , his eyes , I saw a predator that was ready to eat me alive , thought jia in her heart.

sun was cultivating life and death , he wanted to grasp mastery over this two things. Once he could reach true tier , he can form a god chakra and become semi god of life and death. In true tier , artisans would create a god chakra to take their element to next level.

death demon said " master , I think you will at least take 2 years of effort to advance from now on." sun raised his brows in confusion and asked " why do you think so ?"

death demon replied " your strength has already reached tier 10 , maybe after reaching tier 8 , you will have to face against hell tribulations and form a god chakra. that's why"

sun gave a deep thought and nodded his head" don't worry , if that happen that I will survive the tribulation " death demon replied in a little strange way " it's not about surviving or not ? If you manage to bring a hell tribulation just after achieving tier 8 than think carefully , what will happen when you actually step in true tier ? " he gave a deep thought and continued " even my previous master wasn't strong as you. He as only able to fight against two level higher opponents after reaching true tier even after his full powers. but you…"

sun was confuse so he asked " but me ? What ?" death demon sighed and replied " but you haven't even completely inherited the heart demon inheritance. you are actually using your own strength and powers until now. just think , what will happen after you awake the master heart demon's body and soul powers and strength ? what will happen after you complete all the six remaining trails ? what will happen after you completely inherited those mythical grade arts and divine grade arts ? what will happen after you inherit all the divine and mythical treasure of master heart demon ? wouldn't you simply able to face a person who is one or two tier above you after reaching true tier ?…"

"so..?"asked sun in confusion. what was wrong for him to grow strong ? and stronger ? wasn't it basically a nice thing ?

"just think , if you achieve the orgin star powers and reach star ranker, who will be your match ?"

"hmm.. what's wrong with that than ?"asked sun.

"even when my previous master was only strong to face two level higher than him , he was already enough to turn into a mythical legend in the three realm. If you became something just like I told than what will you be ?"

sun nodded his head and thought " yes , what will I be at that moment ? " he massaged his head. He felt very confuse.

sigh *

he just shook his head in confusion and got headache. He scratched his head in confusion but stopped thinking about it. He started to focus in creating an art of his own through life and death.

He didn't know if he could create one or not ? even if he can , can he even take it high or not even if he created it ? he didn't know how far he could take it even if he could take it high ?

he just wanted to focus , focus in his own world right now.

His every single dantians were releasing a death aura while the meridians and acupuncture points were doing the same. His soul was releasing the breath of vitality.

His moon mark and sun mark were helping him to control over this two elements. This marks were a mythical marks that had very powerful abilities.

He was sitting on a huge empty world , he was cultivating all alone. on his forehead a third eye opened. It was as if his third eye had the power to see through everything and nothing could hide from it.

He was actually being enlightened right now.

His first enlightenment in his path of dao.

His third eye had a dark and green colours mixing with others. He saw emptiness everywhere.

He saw in front of him was a green seed floating in the air. It was full of vitality and life. While he saw small human like life inside a round energy barrier.

Both of them landed on the ground and after touching the ground , they both started to dissappear inside the ground.

After a while , a small plant started to spurt out from the ground while a process of child growing it's head , leg , hands and other body part was seen in fornt of him.

slowly the tiny plant began to grow to be big plant with lots of leaf , branch , flowers. While the process of human like being was continued as growing to be a baby than a child , than a small kid than a young teenage than an adult. when it reached to an old man , the plant has grown to be a huge trees with lots of fruits hanging on it.

The old man died than again a new process of human like living being was starting. While on the another side , the tree only kept on growing fruits and turning leaves into yellow , than falling down on the ground.

but after the 90th or so process of the human like living , the tree started to witteren and fell down completely but its root remain the same. After the human like living 20th process or so , the root start to grow new tree

this process repeated again and again until sun was completely enlightened and became a minor enlighten being as a life and death artisan.

at that time death demon felt uneasy. His master has gotten enlighten before reaching tier 10 artisan so it means he will truly become a semi god after reaching tier 8.

He hoped that his master wouldn't get into a trouble.
