During the era of chaos, humans, demons, and beast where engaged in a great war a war that brought catastrophic damage to the world the reason for this battle was unknown, record of this war disappeared, but it said to have cause cracks to appear around the world countless treasure disappeared along with experts countless famed cultivator vanished like the passing breeze famous clan seized to exit even divine beasts like the phoenix almost got eradicated while beasts like the divine kun clan disappeared in the beginning of the war a genius from a mysterious sword clan whose name is unknown rose to fame his achievement not known but still his fame reached peak but suddenly the genius, and his clan disappeared their merit's as if erased was wiped away one by one until forgotten by all.
After the passing of the war countless clan rose in succession while ancient clans that survived became stronger but a clan who achievement rivaled by none disappeared, and so a million years have passed the chaos era slowly ended and the era of Dao began.
Summer slowly ends has autumn fall the lively trees will have its leaves slowly wither and fall, In old looking courtyard a boy is seen laying down on the grass next to a tree as he stares in at the setting sun in the distance his gaze seem to travel through time as he emits an archaic aura the lively leaves seem to stop their movement as if in response to his aura, if anyone was here the scene would have shocked those who knew of his reputation, no one will be unfamiliar with the trash of braymhch family in the entire clear spring city, the son of the family head of one of the three greatest family in the city the trash who hasn't broken past the first body cultivating stage practically the weakest person in the city but in this tiny hall even an ant the tiniest of creatures dares not move in face of this aura, the leaves dare not rustle in front of his presence.
A million years have passed and here I am, it been 14 years since have been reincarnated i have searched everywhere throughout this city yet history seem have forgotten my clan is the their work are they that eager to make the world forget us is this fate, we fought so hard in the Frontline against those abdominable creatures yet chased neither fame, treasures, or their acceptance all for what, for the human race we fight for to stab us in the back, fate ha what a laughable fate. I have stayed long enough in this city time to head to royal academy the exams should be in two years should it not, saying all these the boy whose face seemed so ordinary that it could not be perceived shone with a brilliance that seems the dim the light of the setting sun.
The scene that could have change the perception of the so called trash then faded as the boy stood up and walked out his shadow seem to carry the burden of the word yet he kept his shoulder straight and brilliance hidden once way as his presence faded in the background of the ordinary looking courtyard.
At the braymhch family
" Welcome back young master how was the sunset pleasing to look at "an old man looking to be in his 80s with is back slightly bent and head lowered.
"Mmm it was pleasing to the eyes" Galahad walks in as he enters his personal courtyard
"Also tell my father that he should send me some herbs I have decided to begin cultivation the secular words holds no allure in my eyes, now leave me be" leaving his command behind Galahad walks straight into is room leaving the slightly stunned and trembling old man alone.
"Finally the young lord have decided to cultivate his lord will be pleased, I have to inform him of this at this instant"
After saying this, the weak looking old man took a step and appeared 10 meters away while leaving no footstep behind, the courtyard sank into silence once more,only the rustling leaves and the falling sun in the distance as it brilliance slowly fades and the word embraces the darkness.
Meanwhile, the old man appears in front of a majestic looking building his presence faded away and his back bent once more and head lower he slowly enters the courtyard his feet making no noise as of afraid he might disturb the presence inside. Reaching in front of the door he slowly knocked three times, the door slowly open the entire room looks bright and spacious obviously meant to entertain guest. A man sitting on a rocking chair as he watches the sun slowly fading away from an opening in the room, his back faced towards the old man.
The old man seeing the back of the man knelt down respectfully
" What do you want Hendrick I told u to protect my son unless it is of great importance u will not be exempted to punishment "
The man sitting stands up as he faces the old man with a bright smile, yet his face was hazy. Seeing the man get up and seeing that very smile the old man shudders and bows down till his head touches the floor
" It is something of great importance my lord the young master has sent me to request of herbs to cultivate, and he said he no longer find interest in the secular world"
The man with a bright smile seemed slightly stunned
" That is something of importance okay I will have it sent tomorrow, no longer interested in the secular world what a great word even me the great head of the braymhch family dares not say such, such fine words indeed, tell him that if he can make it and pass the royal academy upcoming test I shall prepare for him a sword that befits him"
Finishing his statement the man burst into laughter. The old man no longer daring to stay stands up with his back bent to the lowest as walks out, and the door closes the roaring laughter could still be heard.
Back at the young lord courtyard inside the room, Galahad seats down cross-legged on a cultivation mat as he takes a deep breath
"In my last life though my cultivation speed was the best I made a mistake I regretted, and now I can change this, the first three cultivation realms signifies the importance of body and the mind the first cultivation stage :
The body tempering stage it consists of four minor realms; bone tempering
Iron skin
marrow cleansing
body shedding
This four stage are important for it's the foundation to become an expert though in my past life I use the best treasure in completing this stage but in fact I lacked perseverance, for 14 years of my reborn life I have being cleansing my body each year by utilizing the natural properties of the world by observing the change of the seasons and understanding it my body can easily adapt to any situation the moment I start cultivating, but so what my path is that of the sword why do I need my body to be a jack of all trade I follow the sword only. In my previous life I saw an ancient technique I finally completed it today it requires you to be at age 14 without any hint of cultivating at all even if u cripple yourself and tried to cultivate the art it still won't work only a 14 years old who has not cultivated at all, I waited fourteen years since my rebirth just to cultivate the sword physique and looking at the complete art it was all worth it.
Taking a deep breath I circulated the technique that I have long imprinted in my head it started slowly the changes the season tempering did to my body was slowly purged bringing excruciating pain I gritted my teeth together, balled my fist tightly piercing my skin, in just ten seconds my entire body was drenched in sweat then slowly blackish substance started to be removed from my body, slowly the impurities got purged it took a minute for the process to end slowly my skin started to glitter breaking thought the first stage of the body tempering but instead of a metallic hue like most it was a sliver like hue it seemed ethereal almost nonexistent my skin pure white without any blemish my black eyes looked unfathomable my hair glittering grayish standing up slowly I walked towards the bath water I had prepared, removing my clothes I dipped my body into the cold water slowly closing my eyes as I fell asleep into the water due to the exhaustion.
The next morning
In the herbs and pill building of the braymhch family.
"What so many just for that trash young master"
Hearing the commotion some idle family members walks inside the building. The old looking Butler looks at the white bearded man, one of the elders of the clan calmly as he raises a ruckus, looking around and seeing the crowd joining he puts his hands inside his robe and hand over a seal
" Elder ken I didn't know the family head seal no longer makes a difference and that u even dare to defy his personal seal "
Seeing the seal the white haired man shudders
" Not at all I didn't know it was for the family head, I wouldn't dare refute otherwise"
Saying so the white bearded man ordered his men to gather the requested herbs, as he puts on a fawning smile while returning the seal.
The old butler collect the seal and waited for the herbs to be brought while the crowd dispersed upon seeing the family head seal, a few direct descendants of different elders decided to wait and see. The old butler looks at the few who waited while keeping his silence and waiting for the herbs to be brought over, a few minutes pass and the herbs was brought.
Passing it over to the old butler the white bearded man shook his head as if signifying an apology for the delay, the old butler sees everyone misunderstanding decides not to clarify their thoughts,
"It would be better if the young master shocks them himself" saying so the old butler walks away from the building as he heads towards the young master courtyard.
Upon reaching the gates of the courtyard the old Butler slows his footsteps as he opens the wooden gate and enters.
Inside the courtyard a boy is seen swinging a wooden sword, he starts with a slow swing from the top and speeds up as he swing down, the wooden sword trembles, his forehead drips with sweat, yet he continues slashing down repeatedly, suddenly the gate of the courtyard is opened, looking at the gate he sees the old butler waking with a bag, realizing it was the herbs he requested he takes a deep breath and continue slashing.
The old butler upon seeing the young master training heads inside the house and place the herb down by the door to the inner room then decides to brew a cup of tea.
A few minutes pass and Galahad walk towards the old man who stand near the bench placed by the tree in the courtyard, sitting down he takes the tea stretched at him and slowly drinks before exhaling a hot mist from his mouth
"How refreshing I didn't know u could u make tea"
The old butler bows slights as he responds
"You flatter me young master as one grow older you learn a few things or two"
Looking up slightly the butler sees the young master drinking his tea elegantly wondering to himself
"Is it me of does the young master looks more noticeable now and a little better looking, previously his aura was very hard to notice it was like one with the surrounding now it different it feels more like a sheathed sword waiting to be drawn"
The butler shook his head lightly as he continues his inner thoughts
"What am I thinking I probably didn't pay attention before"
Before he could continue his thoughts a voice interrupted him
"So what message has my father sent of you"
Galahad raises his head looking at the rising sun in it full glory as he blows on the little of his tea, the old butler awakened from his thoughts picks up the tea pot and pour the cup to the brim and says
"How astute of you young master, the lord has said that if you can pass the royal academy entrance test he will give you a gift"
Galahad shifts his head slightly and looks at the old butler before looking down at the tea as he blows it gently and takes sip, he then places the tea down walking towards the wooden sword he answers
"The minimum stage to bother taking the text should be the spirit actualization stage and some genius might even be close to the divine body, getting first place won't be easy"
Saying so he picks up the sword leaving the completely shocked old butler stunned as he stammered to reply
"First place young master, no no no the lord said entering the academy is enough"
Suddenly the entire courtyard went silent even the leaves dare not rustle holding the sword he slowly turns as he looks at the old butler with what seem to be a smile and yet not at the same time
"Are you telling you want me to get lower than first place"
His voice colder than the night he works towards the butler then pats his shoulder before turning back the cold atmosphere suddenly disappeared, Galahad voice sounded in the courtyard again
"Go and relay my word to my father also in three months I want to be in secluded cultivation after that time is up me, and you shall go on a journey to temper my sword heart"
Finishing his statement he continued swinging his sword, the old butler bowed down then slowly walks out the courtyard, upon closing the door his old body shakes his entire back soaked
"What was that aura the young master emitted it seemed so terrifying and that smile it resembled the lord so much, even though am in the divine body realm I still got terrified"
Taking a deep breath, the old butler flashed a few meters from where he was heading towards the majestic building deep in the braymhch family courtyard but this time his aura seemed unstable.
