The Immortal Legacy: Heavens Ruler (Book 3)

Y

Flames began to blaze within the nameless forest, Wilding fires started to spread from tree to tree as the elders of the Bia tribe began to rush towards the forest at their fastest speed possible.

"Elder Bia Suyu, what happen, who started this fire?"

As Bia Suyu rushed towards the forest, another elder who was of the same status as him, shouted from the back, this elder was very normal but normal look. His was Bia Suyu's cousin, Bou Jin and was only made an elder due to Bia Suyu's influence.

"Am not to sure myself. But we'll get down to the bottom of this sooner or later. For one, I saw that Xiao boy heading into the forest, if he was the one who did, this then just you wait"

Bia Suyu leaped up into the air, his hands spread wide as the elements of fire began to dance around him. He was a martial artist at the True Master realm and had long sense formed his dantain.

Spirit power began to surge as the flames within the environment began to bend at his will. The flames nearest to him was slowly being absorbed into his body but the speed was relatively slow.

"Elder cousin I'll give a helping hand"

Bou Jin reached towards the Westside, his hands grabbing at the empty void as flames began to surged towards his body as well, his ten meridians came to live within on instant. The other members of the tribe all started to rush over with tanks of water from the nearby river, everyone was putting a lot of effort to stop the Wilding flames for spreading even more.

On the Loa Plain, the realms of cultivation started at Meridians Opening, which hand ten mysterious meridians in total. These ten meridians to many people may be located in different areas of the human body. Depending on what they cultivated in terms of martial, meditation or any type of Dao seeking skill, the meridians may be located at a different point in the body that correspond with the method that was being used.

For example, the Bia tribe practices in the flame arts, thus the first meridians that the members of the Bia tribe would target were those that lead directly towards the center of the hands. To manipulate the laws of the flames, the hands were a undeniable factor that they could not avoid.

Thus their target focus would always be the meridians leading to the hands, which were two in total. After locating these two meridians, the next eight depended on the person and which other eight they would locate with their martial talents!

Over the years, hundreds of tribe members even though knowing where to locate the first two mysterious meridians leading to the hands, they still couldn't do it even upon their death beds. Not everyone had a talent for martial arts and not everyone would be able to shake off the shackles of mortal being.

This was where the saying "With great talent came great achievements" came from and even though the area for thousands of miles were abundant in flames elemental energy, not everyone would have the opportunity to sense its wonders and thus embark on the journey of the great Dao. Most people would even be stuck of the 3rd level of meridians opening, never to progress for the rest of their lives.

Some could even go further, but the further down the road of martial arts one traveled, the harder it became for one to break through. But once you did, then, long life and great power awaits you.

While the members of the Bia tribe were dashing to and from in a fit to put out the flames that were burning the forest, Bia Xiao wash rushing towards the river that ran through the middle of the forest and cut at the banks of the Bia tribe.

"What type of energy is this"

While Bia Xiao was running towards the river, he could feel his heart rate increasing with every beat of his heart, and with that, he could feel a certain energy rushing throughout his body, bringing wild joy and excitement to the cells of his body.

"Is this spiritual energy. No, that can't be right, I've never trained in the tribes martial arts before so I have no way or idea of how to sense this energy"

Without even noticing it, Bia Xiao started to ran faster than usual, the wild energy continued to rush about his body giving a great boost to his speed.

"Wait, I can run faster"

This came as a sudden surprise for the shocked Bia Xiao, his shoulder, though wasn't bleeding out, what still injured and his bone was cracked due to the sharp blade knife that torn out his shoulder. The torn robe that he used to tie his shoulder was socked with dripping blood, the pain was even more so apparent.

"Somones coming"

Bia Xiao halted his steps, he had a sudden alarm from out of nowhere, saying that he was in danger. He didn't know why he thought that, it was the first time he felt such a strong urge from his mind about danger and he was living the life of a longer in the forest for four full years now.

He had came face to face with danger on several occasions and never before had he sense the call of danger like he had just now. It was like a sixth sense, a type of spiritual connection to the earth below and the heavens up high that was ever changing and calling, always alerting.

'woosh'

Bia Xiao lend back my instinct, a dagger flash by his nose with a sharp light that spelled death. The tip of the dagger made a small cut on his nose, spilling a tiny bit of blood.

"Shxt"

Bia Xiao dash backwards, cold sweat dripping down his back. He couldn't tell how he had dodge that dagger in this last second, and the worse of about it is that, he couldn't tell where the dagger was coming from and at what angle.

"His mother, I also died"

Bia Xiao curse under his breath, his body bent low, hiding within the bushes. His body was still filled with mud and as he passed through the trees, many leafs would be stuck to his body, this would in term make his body seem as one with the forest.

To most people, one would think it was a coincidence that the leafs and mud played a great part in a sensitive situation like that one, but this move was practice over and over again numerous times by Bia Xiao whole hunting. Bia Xiao's body felt hot, the wild fires of the forest slow inching towards his direction as the mad awling of Gue Man could be heard.

"This mad dog is going to be a problem. And it seem as if he's not the only one after me, just for a lowly person like me, they would go to these lengths. Well I get why this Gue Man is barking but the others now"

Bia Xiao layered flat on the ground, his eyes staring at the front. The bushes parted as a young girl landed not too far away from him, in her hand a was short blade with burning from, these flames were the manifestation of the elements in the area and was linked to the spiritual energy in her body.

"How come this kid is so strange. He's able to sense my dagger and evade it in the last second. Was it by luck?"

Gue Henxe murmured to herself, she slowly walked towards the area Bia Xiao was laying down and shouted.

"You can't escape my sensing ability, I know your laying low over there, come out or I'll come in and chop you into pieces"

Gue Henxe starred at Bia Xiao's location with frosty eyes. She was at the 7th level of the meridians opening realm and her senses were heighten with each breakthrough. For Bia Xiao who had never faced nothing but wild animals, who could he escape a 7th level meridians opening realm expert.

The only reason why Bia Xiao was able to injure Gue Man was because he was to careless and let down his guard due to looking down on his target. Thus it was inevitable that he would seek his own death.

"What do you people want from me"

Bia Xiao's heart fell to the bottom of a pit when he heard the young female spoke. He was still planning to stay hidden before something told him that it was useless, thus with great effort, he stood up and walked out in the open.

"Just a commoner, not even an expert in the first stage of meridians opening yet you could sense danger at this level. Truly a little freak if you ask me"

"Not even those from my tribe at 5th meridians opening can evade my throwing dagger technique, but you, with nothing but a commoner's instinct you were able to do it. Is this what they call Minute subtility?"

"Not even some of the old guys from my tribe can do this subtility!"
