Xian Li was gone.
...
Azure Sky Mortal Realm.
This Realm was relatively small compared to the mortal world from where Xian Li came from. There was only one continent in this Realm. And in the Continent, there were three Ancient Countries who were rivals.
So, naturally, the most powerful persons were affliated to or were part of the Royal Families of these Ancient Countries. The relations of these Ancient countries and Royal families was not simple as merely rivals or enemies.
Their relations were a lot more complex than they seem. A person from one Royal Family may be aa spy of the another Royal family or he maybe pretending to be a spy while being the spy of his family who is acting as a spy in his own family.
But this was among the Royal Family and some important and powerful families among the three Ancient countries only.
Ordinary people had no knowledge of such complex relations. To them, the relation was as simple as rivals or sometime enemies while at other times allies.
Azure Dragon Ancient Country.
Countryside village.
This was a medium-sized village which was well-known for practically nothing.
Why would a village even be famous unless it was near to passing the requirements for being upgraded into a town?Even so, it would only be locally famous.
For the Country, it would just be another small town. Not worth any particular attention. They would only be sent a congratulatory letter alnog with some resources for successful promotion. Nothing more.
In the village's farms, everything was going smooth and the farmers returned after irrigating the fields.
But on this particular morning, something stirred the golden fields of wheat.
A stroke of light broke through the clouds and fell on the fields. It shimmered with silver and blue color. It arced gently across the sky and landed in the farmlands just beyond the river, where no one dared to plow because the soil was too rocky.
There was no sound. No explosion. Just the rustling of winds.
And there he fell. A man or perhaps something more.
Clad in robes that looked similar to the ones worn by Immortals. Xian Li stood there, his hair tied behind, his eyes were not as calm as they used to be.
He took a deep breath, as if tasting the air of a Mortal world after countless ages even though only 100 years had passed.
Cough! Cough!
Xian Li started coughing because the air in the mortal world was not as pure as Immortal Realm, it lacked pure Spiritual energy.
He looked out over the village in the distance. Smoke from cooking fires curled into the sky. Children laughed. A dog barked.
He felt so... quiet.
Thankfully, no one had seen him otherwise it would have attracted unnecessary trouble.
Xian Li, who was about to walk towards the village, suddenly stopped af if remembering something. A solemn look appeared on his face.
"Wang Li. I, your Master, will take revenge for you....soon. Just you wait Qin Ancestor! I will be coming for you again for we have some unfinished buisness."
Then, He slowly walked towards the village, wnjoying his peaceful moment for which he had yearned for years.
And hence, Xian Li's journey in the mortal world began.....again!
