Puh ! At a particular tea establishment, inside the silver gate region, a man suddenly sput out a mouthful of tea. This young man was standing at a window, looking down at a crowd. He had blue robes, deep black hair tied in a bun backwards and an overall relatively handsome face. His build was average,his eyes brown and his cultivation could even shock Ling Aotian if he were to see this person here. This person was Ling Sun, the unlucky person that Ling Aotian tossed into the telepotation portal when he was coming to the Snow demon Domain.
"Master Ling Sun, do you know that person..?" A bulky man standing besides the young man asked. This man was in the forties, his side burns totally unlike any custom Ling Aotian had seen in the Martial Grotto Continent. Moreover, he was so tall that Ling Sun would need to look up to meet him face to face.
"Yes, he's my distant cousin.." Ling Sun looked at the peculiar scene down at the streets, his blood boiling with anger as his hands trembled. Ma Bo, the giant bulky man besides him however was as calm as a deep well. It was as if the scene below could not move him.
"Send people to follow that man. I want everything about him before the sun sets."
" Yes young Master.." Ma Bo hurriedly left, descending the stairs with arrogance, easily colliding with the staff of the tea house. Well one can be sure about how that went. The poor staff felt like they met a mountain, an obstacle so unmoving that they could only look down as others hurriedly made way for this giant of a man.
At the ground floor, Ma Bo ordered a few servants with blue robes. On these servants chest, was an embroidered character.."Hua".

On the streets of the inner silver gate region, Wu Xiantian was helped back to his feet by Ling Aotian.
" Wu Ke' er quickly kowtow to the sect leader.." Wu Xiantian barked reprimandingly. However, the little mischieve only stuck out a tongue and closed one eye in defiance. Ling Aotian laughed. Then looked at the little demon on his shoulder and asked..
"Would Ke' er take this humble self as master..?"
Hmm! Hmm! Was all Ling Aotian got from the little girl. She nodded as she continued to braid his hair. Wu Xiantian could not help but sigh..
" There is no need for formalities brother Wu. How about we return to the shop, you must be eager to consolidate your comprehension."
"Yes.. yes ..let us return."
They turned and walked towards the silver gate, Wu Xiantian's face glowing as he hummed a melody as the morning sunrise rays pasted the world with it's golden radiance. This halo escorted them until they reached the silver gate, shadows shooing of the resplendent glow of the world,when the three entered in the vicinity of the huge gate and wall.
"What figure was that..? Is he some new rookie here for the core disciple trials..??"
" He's just a show off..!! Using his families Body and soul tempering servant to show off..!!"
" Are you stupid..! Didn't you see the badge of the old guy's chest..?"
"Right..right.. He should be from the Formation Guild...!!"
" Whaat !! Whaat ..! "
"Aren't those people usually arrogant to the bone..? How could such a figure randomly kneel on the streets..??"
"Maybe he got the old man's recognition..!!"
"But..isn't the boy just at the Qi refining realm..!!"
No sooner had they left, than the guesses of the crowd began. Each had his own theory about Ling Aotian's real background. Many were envious but many were also on alert. This was the silver gate region, full of cultivation geniuses of the body and soul tempering realm, who all thought that they had another rival as they watched the back of Ling Aotian who was now walking through the huge silver gates.
Puh..!! Suddenly, Ling Aotian abruptly looked back, eyeing directly towards Ling Sun who sput out another mouthful of tea onto Ma Bo.
"Oh.., how interesting..!! You are still alive."
Ling Aotian had sensed killing intent from this tea house. He used his senses to track it down and found it was a giant of a man. The man had no idea, directly leading Ling Aotian towards Ling Sun. Seeing him, Ling Aotian couldn't help but take a look to be sure, and he was momentary stunned..Ling Sun was at the later stages of Body and soul tempering realm..!
He smiled at him, looked him in the eye, then disappeared into the bronze gate region.

The trio had returned to the Talisman shop's door. They looked at the torn roof with annoyed expression. Especially Wu Xiantian, who knew that it was up to him to fix it. It wasn't hard to do it if he uses talismans to aid himself, but talismans could only do that much. They could only make superficial repairs.
"Someone is eyeing your shop..!! " Ling Aotian revealed.
" Who..Why...?? There is nothing worthwhile here except for talismans." Wu xiantian could not understand. If someone had the power to eye his shop, wouldn't that person have the neccerary funds to buy most talismans. What could he want with his shop..??
"There is Purple metal ore beneath..!! "
"Whaat !! Are you sure..? How do these people even know the purple ore is here..? How do you..." He stopped his rumbling. Just how stupid could he be to question Ling Aotian..? He already knew the answer to why Ling Aotian knew. Wasn't it because the he from the future told him..?
"I know, but they are not sure. However who they are is another whole matter. I suspect the city lord's people."
"Is speculation about purple ore enough for them to take action..?"
"Yes, it's just that valuable. When purple ore is refined, it can be used to make weapons having power rivaling the late core formation stage. It can also be used to make formation eyes and nodes."
Wu xiantians face contorted, " If that is true then the city lord won't rest untill he confirms his suspicions."
They walked inside the shop, still casually taking about the purple ore. " Brother Wu, I have use for the purple ore. I hope you allow me to mine it.."
"Of course you can mine it.. I have acknowledge you as sect leader.. what is mine is naturally the sections."
They sat down at the inner chamber of the shop. This shop was divided into three. The front, where talisman's were displayed. The inner chamber where Wu Xiantian and the little demon usually reside and the basement where Wu Xiantian makes talismans.
Wu Xiantian prepared some tea,still asking questions.."Sect leader Ling, what is the name of our new sect...?"
"The name GUI Ying Sect can not exist in the world anymore, it's karma and destiny had ended in this world, but it's legacy still lives...ahh, Karma and destiny, day and night, the sun and the moon. Ying and Yang legacy. .. From now on, the sect shall be known as Ying Yang Supreme sect.."
Crackle! Crackle!! The clouds shifted, lightening crackled and thunder boomed. The whole city was enveloped in this phenomenon. Many old monsters showed stunned gazes as the looked at the thunder clouds, their mouths agape as the sky suddenly split ito two. On one side was crackling lightening while on the other were auspicious cranes made of lightening. The crackling lightening rotated in a clockwise direction, having no form or guidance. Just chaos moving via the will of the heavenly daos. The white cranes however represented order, circling the sky in anticlockwise direction in a harmonious way. Neither repelling nor attracting the other half, each forming half of a tai chi diagram. Each occupying half of Marlong City in rotation.
"Ying yang supreme sect..!!" Wu xiantian couldn't help but mutter in excitement, looking at the huge Tai chi diagram that showed heaven's acceptance of the sect.
He then looked at Ling Aotian, reverence could not be hidden in his eyes. Wu Ke' er on the other hand was still clinging on Ling Aotian's shoulder, looking excitedly at the huge two coloured diagram in the sky.
Vooom! Vooom! Vooom! Suddenly, four colored Qi rays ascended towards the heavens, dispelling the phenomenon as the heavenly power was redirected into a barrier that was forming around Mar long City at a shocking pace.
Ling Aotian went out if the talisman shop, looking at four edges of formation flags at the outskirts of the copper gate's wall. From his view, a barrier originated from these flags, taking the power of the Tai chi diagram from the heaven to accelerate it's coverage.
Soon, the barrier had engulfed the whole of Mar long city, making one side take on the Ying side of the barrier while the other took the yang side of the barrier. One half of the city being ever dark while the other being ever light. One side being night while the other being day. Then it started rotating.
"The core disciple trials have finally began..!! Its time..."
