In the years when the wind kingdom ruled the Earth with their great power, the world lived in relative peace.

The wind kingdom is made up of three tribes the Northern mountain dragon clan, the southern water buffalo clan and the South Eastern serpent clan.

The South Eastern Serpent clan seen to be the weakest tribe surprised the entire kingdom when it produced a young brave and strong warrior who bravely fought against invading barbarians and not only defeated them and defended their land, but also conquered key territories of the barbarians.... this young man was a martial artist of the heaven level of Qi cultivation.

He later became the first of the South Eastern Serpent clan to become King over the wind kingdom and therefore the years of peace began.

That young man gave birth to Cui Yan (who's the main character of this story line). Cui Yan unlike the other kids was quite weak, reserved and lazy. as a crowned prince he got everything the world had to offer, fame, money and attention.

But his father worried about the future of the kingdom in his hands. not too long after the birth of Cui yan, the Kings beloved wife died strangely it something untraceable so the King personally raised Cui Yan as a single parent, ignoring the elders talks about getting remarried. something really bothered the Kings mind and he wanted his son to be prepared to ascend the throne although he was just 14. the King called for his maid servant and when she arrived, he told her to go summon the young prince to his presence....

meanwhile

somewhere in between the Northern mountain dragon tribe and the southern water buffalo tribe, in a popular inn for traveled a man walks in wearing a hooded cloak and after scanning the room with his sharp piercing eyes, he walks straight to a table where three other men in hooded cloaks were seated. he joins them and nods to the maid servant to bring them some wine.

one of the men began

what's the news you bring... tell me something good this time.

well, everything is going according to plan and no one suspects a thing, the King is a pretty strong man I must say.

yes, another man spoke up. he's lasted this long under the effect of the snake flower poison.

the first man replied.

sure, that's what we would expect of someone from the heaven level of Qi cultivation. but not to worry, the snake flower poison has no antidote and in a months time he'll be as useless as a bug waiting to be squashed.

the maid servant brings in their drinks and they all go silent for a while as she serves the drinks before them.

once she left, the second man spoke.

so we carry out our plan during the annual tournament as everyone would be carried away by their festivity..

the first man spoke again with a smirk on his lips while shaking the cup of wine in his hands

just one month time and you would be a bug begging for Mercy..

with that he drank his wine and they continued their discussion........

one strange figure in the shadows who had been observing them for a while just walked away

Surrounded by the best Martial arts teachers each a Creator of at least a heaven level technique or the disciple of a great heaven level master, the young prince Cui Yan was blessed with numerous training resources,,, but.... he couldn't seem to understand anything. He wasn't born any ounce of talent and as he grew he couldn't produce any ounce of Qi, and among his mates he was seen as trash.

The maid walked in and delivered the Kings message and after a slight bow to teachers he took his leave.

on entering the Throne room and greeting his father.

how are you my son.

very well father.

how about your study of martial arts.

well it's still the same father, I just can't seem to get it.

The king just turned around and smiled at him and said..

come with me.

where are we going?

I'll tell you when we get there young man.

they walked into a section of the castle which the young prince had never seen before. On but sides of the walkway there were giant statues of men and women in their battle armors. As they walked the king said.

welcome to the secret ancestral Hall. inside here you can see our history from the very beginning. The statue on your right (he said while pointing to the statue of a man holding a great battle-axe) that is Cui shen my father.. although he didn't make any great achievements during his lifetime, he was well knows for his great strength and his martial skills which was at the mid of the heaven level of cultivation.

Wow, he was really strong.

well he was and so was everyone else before him but i never understood why they kept their powers to themselves rather than use it to protect the weak.

didn't your father ever tell you why.

he would have, but he didn't

why?

This Hall wasn't ever originally here. it was as I became King I built this place. The original Hall was in our little village. I was a little boy then (Coughs), just like you are now and my dad brought me to the place. I remember it like it was yesterday....

down memory lane (just imagine this in Black and White)

somewhere in the woods of the little village the mighty Cui Shen took his son to an open space containing several carved statues and told him history just like he is telling his son now. And after a little ritual to name him successor of the clan, they were interrupted by a loud bang...

{insert your favorite explosion sounds}

the Earth below trembled greatly as black smoke began rising in the distance.

Yao(this is Cui Yan father's name), run back to the village and accompany your mother and the rest of the villagers.

but father...., Yao blurted...

his father cut his sentence short and roared "i wouldn't repeat myself, now do as I told you to"

yes father.. he replied with a mumble before turning around and running into the forest towards the village...

after confirming the dismissal of his son, Cui Shen began moving towards the border of the little village and met with the rest of the village men who were already on their way there.

village head, one of the men shouted out as soon as he saw him.

it appears to be the barbarians again at our border.

another man replied "they should have given up on coming back to us as they cannot break our protection barrier. The Sky Turtle Formation seal is a godly treasure and can't be penetrated from the outside... and can only be opened from the inside"

a while later they had arrived at the border and are standing just before the barrier, while at the other side of the barrier a huge man wearing a coat made of the fiery demon tiger. his helm is made from the soul of the same demon beast...

there demon tiger is a beat that has the power of the early stage of the Earth realm and for the barbarian general to be able to own it he must at least be at the mid to last stage of the Earth realm.

behind the general, stand over 500 barbarian soldiers who's skin are slightly read after being sprayed so much blood from their endless Fighting. the sight is indeed ghastly cause when compared to the 60 or so men from the village, it is like a rabbit in a standoff with a bear.

Cui Shen steps towards the barrier directly in front of the barbarian general and asks what they are here for...

the bewildered barbarian burst out a deep guttural laugh that sounds more like a grunt {GRT:ewww 😂}. He then says

"I admire your courage but you should know when to give up otherwise It would be considered as foolishness. seeing my hundreds of troops aren't you afraid" he roared.

but Cui Yao isn't the slightest moved by any of this but says..

although I'm not a person who likes to repeat myself, but I would choose to do so just this once. what are you here for?

the general in a rage says

who are you to question me. by the time I am done pillaging your worthless village I will then use your skull to drink wine!

{GRT:he's got a weird taste I must say}

with that he turns around and shouts bring out the god Cannon...

the men from the village began discussing amongst themselves

did I hear him right? did he just say the god Cannon? not possible there's only one god Cannon and the barbarians can't get their hands on it...

(indeed the god Cannon is a rare artifact that according to legends shoots out qi and no defence can hold against it. for some reasons though, the man who forged this weapon made it so it can only shoot once and after that a cooling period of about a month is required before it can be used again).

just as they are contemplating about if it was real or just a bluff. the barbarian army began to make way and then three lightening bulls pulling a large cart guided by several barbarians make their way to the Frontline.

Behold the god Cannon!

the barbarian general says before bursting into another rumbling laughter....(insert your laughter lines)
