897 Words
A sudden news shocked the whole eastern state. Thousands of mile area which Iron gate sect ruled over till yesterday is now just a bottomless abyss. A vast area and its inhabitants disappeared just like that. No one knows how and what kind of powerhouse could do this. The capital of flame heart empire also turned into a giant dark pit. Everything was wiped out with its capital. People trembled when they felt how lucky they were compared to iron gate sect.
All the lineages and sects closed off their doors. They didn't dare to investigate. A sensetional atmosphere pervaded the whole eastern state. The busiest city of eastern state sky city has turned almost desolate. The three powers which had ruled this city was no more. This sudden change caught its inhabitants off guard. People knows that roswell family was annihilated by the joint attacks from iron gate sect and empire. But a mysterious powerhouse appeared and destroyed both of them.
No one spoke openly about this matter, they can only guess secretly.
Ray stood at the shore of an ocean which separated eastern state and northern state. There was not much distance between eastern state and northern state. Cultivators could cross the ocean just by using a small boat or flying ship unless something unexpected happens in midway. Ray can go anywhere in this world with ease but he doesn't. He likes to bask in the light, fresh air and the scenery.He wants to enjoy the development of this world.
Ray hired a small boat and set off to northern state. The ship sailed slowly as cold breezes streamed through his hairs and cloths. Rays deep black hairs swayed gently with the wind. He closed his eyes and sat in a meditative position. Each of his breathing were full of rhythm. Laws of the world appeared slowly and danced around his posture. Ray became one with the world as if there was no distinction between him and the world. The world was him and he was the world. He was the master and the sole ruler. His one glance could give birth to myriad laws and one glance could destroy all mysteries of the world.
After an unknown amount of time he opened his eyes slowly. His eyes were deep and boundless as if it could contain the whole cosmos.
' Not enough. This world is still incomplete. It needs more time for development.' Ray murmured slowly under his breath.
There was no one to drive the boat for him. But the boat never stopped or deviated from its initial destination.
Half a month passed by in the blink of an eye. All this time Ray didn't had anything to eat. He just meditated. As he got close to the northern coast he encountered many other flying ships and small boats. Few kind people waved at him and asked if he would come to their ship but Ray politely declined their offers.
Some arrogant people even sneered at him but he didn't mind.
In his point of view they were just ants. Why would he bother about some ants when they pass by. If they really bite or annoy him, he could just pinch them to death.
His boat finally arrived at its destination. The northern coast city. It was bustling with crowds everywhere. People inside the taverns discussed about the recent events spiritedly.
" Hey i heard a news about sky city being destroyed " A burly young man said.
" Sky city?" His partner frowned.
" i***t, its eastern state sky city. " The burly young man scolded.
" Oh... wait what!! Destroyed? How? why? who? Wasn't it ruled by the three great powers of eastern state. Who would dare to...." He exclaimed but when he got to the later half he quickly stopped his mouth.
It quickly attracted the other peoples attention. They asked him excitedly.
The burly young man had no choice but to tell them.
" I heard that those three powers was at war but a mysterious powerhouse wiped all of them in one fell swoop. He even destroyed their inhabitants and citizens altogether."
" Huh!! Thats so cruel. " A female cultivator said in anger.
" Its their fault for being weak. " An older cultivator sighed.
" But... " She wanted to say something again but was stopped by the veiled woman beside her.
Ray wore a coarse and dirty cloth. He looks very ordinary just like a loose cultivator. He entered the tavern and sat in a corner.
No one would notice him, they would just think of him as a poor loose cultivator.
" Would you like to order something young master? " A gentle voice sounded.
Ray looked up and saw a girl standing infront with a bright smile on her face. She looked like an waitress.
She wore a plain dress which somehow perfectly matched her pretty face. Her figure wasn't very alluring nor too unappealing.
The most noticeable thing about her would be those green eyes.
Ray scanned her for a few seconds and retracted his gaze.
She didn't mind at all and asked again.
" A small drink please. " Ray said with a smile.
" Will be ready in a minute. " She gave another smile and left.
' Interesting ' Ray murmured. His lips curved into an odd smile.
