It just ca to that I haven't really ntioned anything about my Daily Quests. Well, I still do complete them and the reason why I don't say anything about it is that it is an easy clear every day. I just bite myself ten tis and that's it, I get the rewards with minimal effort. One would argue that I could use the Daily Quests as an excuse to bite other people but no, that would be against my ideals. Although I'm part rabid human, I'm still a human, you know. That'd be weird if I just went ahead and bit other people.
Still, if I were supposed to bite soone, I'd rather bite soone with smooth skin and a nice scent. Just laying it out there.
Back to our current situation, the pinkish light that surrounded us is so sort of teleportation skill of the Space Elent. It required the overall Qi Energy of every mber of the Sky Knights so I could tell that it was a pretty hard skill. To be able to teleport such a huge crowd is an incredible feat, even I was amazed.
Once the pinkish orb of light that surrounded us dissipated into thin air, we found ourselves in a wide open space built with marble. Pillars stood from afar and they were of the sa texture and color as the marble wherein we spawned. The place seed to be far above the ground since one I could literally touch the clouds in the sky. The air seed to be thinner here as well, a normal human would probably pass out after ten to twenty minutes by how thin the air was, but no one said anything about it. Aside from that, there's a huge castle by the end of the columns of pillars that towered over a wide pathway.
"This is the Sky Kingdom, ho to the Tang Clan," Mae announced. "Once again, we formally welco Young Master to the Sky Kingdom."
As our group walked towards the gigantic castle, Mae began her explanation. "Long ago, there were two clans, the Tang Clan and the Yan Clan. These two clans had the most powerful elents to ever exist, and from them, the other elents branched, creating the elents we know of today... "
'So we're starting here, huh. interesting.' I told myself as our group eagerly listened.
"The Tang Clan had the Light Elent, an elent that brought healing and brightness to the world. And as such, every cultivator with the light elent was deed a genius, and they were highly sought after throughout the centuries. Because resources were focused on them, they managed to stand at the top, cultivating their talents more and more for the betternt of mankind. The other cultivators who awakened to other elents were still taken care of, but the resources given to them were incomparable to the ones given to the light elent cultivators."
"As for the Yan Clan, they had the Dark Elent, an elent that resembled chaos and destruction. Ti, Space, and Chaos Elents branched from the Dark Elent, making them the most powerful and destructive elents to ever exist. These elents were so rare, that one out of a million people could awaken one of them. Compared to the Light Elent, which can be awakened by one out of a hundred thousand people, the Dark Elents were so rare that it caused a great disturbance to the Yan Clan, they thought that one of these days, they'll be overrun by the Tang Clan and because of that fear, great unrest befell the people."
"But what the Yan Clan didn't know was that one cultivator of the Dark Elent could easily take on ten Light Elent Cultivators. After discovering that fact, the two clans decided not to fight, and for centuries, they lived in harmony."
"After a few more centuries, however, the Tang Clan discovered that having the Light Elent enables a cultivator to learn all of the elents in the natural spectrum. Elents such as water, ice, light, thunder, poison, earth, fire, and others could easily be learned by any Light Elent cultivator. And not only that, they could learn as many elents as they can. Thus, the balance between the Tang Clan and the Yan Clan tipped in favor of the Tang Clan, driving the Yan Clan into a corner. But even after all that, the Light Clan never attacked the Yan Clan because they liked the peace... but it was all in vain."
"Fearing that the Tang Clan is plotting against them, the Yan Clan made their first move, attacking the Tang Clan in secret during a gathering. Many mbers of the Tang Clan died that day, and the others were forced into captivity. Because the Tang Clan wanted peace more than the Yan Clan, they were the ones who fell first. And in just five years, the Tang Clan was driven out of the Higher Plane. The Tang Clan were forced to dwell in the Middle and Lower Plane where a lot of criminals from the Higher Plane were exiled."
"They were surprised to see that the criminals who were exiled were already dead, and their descendants had already thrived in the Middle and Lower Plane. With no hope of coming back to the Higher Plane, the remaining mbers of the Tang Clan lived a comfortable life in the Lower Plane and the Middle Plane. For millennia they prospered, and before long, the Middle Plane and the Lower Plane have finally beco a stable community, a stable world where people could dwell. It was totally unlike before wherein both Planes were ho to the worst of criminals, and the harsh conditions were a constant punishnt for them. Now, the Middle Plane and the Lower Plane were terraford into sothing that resembled the Higher Plane."
Let's just say, I could already tell where this story is going. I had the urge to interrupt Mae but she was really getting into the mont telling the story, so I thought that it'd be best if I just let her continue.
"However, those in the Yan Clan weren't satisfied with exiling the Tang Clan and gaining control over the whole Higher Plane, they wanted it to stay that way." Mae continued. "So every ten or so years, they go through what they call 'The Purge'. If they see soone cultivating and climbing realms faster than they wanted, they would eliminate that person. Any threat they see in the Middle and Lower Plane is checked out, killed because none is allowed to step into the Higher Plane, except those people who belong to the Yan Clan. You may have heard from your grandfather that your mom and dad died from a fire when you were young... but do you think your mom and dad could die in a simple house fire, Young Master?"
"No, now that you ntioned it, I did have a nagging feeling that everything was false. My mom and dad were already in the Transcendence Realm at 24 years of age, they're considered geniuses... or so that's what my grandfather said."
"That's right. They died because the Yan Clan considered them a threat. Your grandfather died in their hands as well."
"Wait, how do you know all that? Are you perhaps related to my parents?"
Mae shook her head and proceeded with her explanation. "Although I am not connected to your grandfather nor your parents, I have sworn to protect the Young Master no matter the cost. Did you know, Young Master, that your grandfather is the direct descendant of our Tang Clan leader? He is, in other words, the King of the whole of Tang Sect, and your parents were next-in-line as the King and the Queen."
"You are a prince, Young Master." Leonard joined in.
"And you have no idea how much your grandfather and your parents sacrificed just to keep you safe. Young Master, we really are glad that you could co back. We hope that you would rule over us with good judgnt, as our king, and the new leader of the Tang Clan."
"Wait, grandpa is... and mom and dad are... wait, what? WHAT?!" I exclaid before I realized it. I then coughed to try to regain my composure but my mind was already swimming in an ocean of confusion. How could I readily accept being a King when I was just a lowly Sect Master a few seconds ago?! And who would've thought that my mom and dad were like that, what?!
Natalia and the others stared at in amazent as well, and I could tell that they were not expecting the revelation at all!
"Five years ago," Mae went on normally as if she just didn't drop a bomb on us. "The Yan Clan decided to get rid of the whole Tang Clan once and for all. With the help of a virus and the influence of the Black Spirit Sect which they ford over the years, they proceeded with the plan, and five years later, here we are, with the Middle Plane and the Lower Plane almost wiped out."
