The Immortality Flower
Because I Take Responsibility

"Teacher! " call for Lin Huang.

Teacher Xiao turned his head when he heard his name being called. Seeing Lin Huang rush up to him made him curious.

"What's wrong? " ask Teacher Xiao.

"Murid is deadlocked, " replied Lin Huang.

"Explain, " said Teacher Xiao.

"Murids can't gather the aura of heaven, is there something wrong with this disciple's body? " ask Lin Huang.

Ever since he came to the pinnacle of the Worldly Divine, he diligently cultivated but always failed when condensing energy. Ever since becoming a heaven cultivator, the compaction of energy to cultivate drastically changed no longer using the aura of heaven and earth but rather the aura of heaven.

"There is something wrong with your soul, " said Teacher Xiao in response.

Master Xiao examined Lin Huang's sea of consciousness. The endless vast ocean with Lin Huang's soul stood watching Master Xiao's movements. Master Xiao approached Lin Huang's soul closely observing if any mistakes had occurred.

Lin Huang's soul was like wearing spiritual armor yet something was wrong on his soul body. A glimmer of golden light shone yet dimmed back.

"This...? " said Master Xiao wanting to touch him before a circle of vortexes appeared below him.

Teacher Xiao was surprised to want to avoid but his attempt failed to get sucked into it. Master Xiao looked back at his surroundings and found Lin Huang's soul staring at him but a slight difference was visible from the outside.

"Layer consciousness? " said Master Xiao wondering.

The soul of Lin Huang that Master Xiao saw looked like a soul that sucked up any energy. It transmitted the heaven or heaven and earth aura separately without compaction of energy. Teacher Xiao wanted to approach him again but the vortex he was in was recreated making him have to fall to the next layer.

This time Master Xiao did not discover the existence of Lin Huang's soul making him confused.

"Too complex, where's the soul? " said Master Xiao.

Teacher Xiao took out a soul-searching scroll. A force came out from within the spreading scroll mixed with the darkness of Lin Huang's sea of consciousness. The power of the soul-searching scroll finally found something at the end of the darkness that was none other than Lin Huang's soul.

The calm-looking soul was cross-legged with light behind it like the light of a buddha. The wisps of light flashing far back surrounded Lin Huang's soul like keeping him from danger. Teacher Xiao was like being watched by something behind the darkness making a feeling of uneasiness that he had never felt in his entire life.

Still trying to hold on to help his student find the problem. The two vortexes created under Lin Huang's soul moved opposite but still mismatched not crashing into each other. Teacher Xiao had no intention of approaching him just seeing from a distance the phenomenon that was occurring in his student's sea of consciousness.

Teacher Xiao seemed to be hypnotized until his feet stepped closer to the vortex. The vision he saw was so amazing that he could not help it. The blue flames snatched into the whirling until it formed a formation with Master Xiao as the core of the formation.

Lin Huang frantically saw Master Xiao faint with a faint breath. Keeping the information confidential so that he ran towards the top to meet the sect leader. Lin Huang knocked on the door repeatedly then the sect leader opened it.

Lin Huang told the incident to the sect leader. The sect leader understood the situation so coming down with Lin Huang saw Master Xiao's condition. Someone approached Master Xiao's body but did nothing just watching him. The sect leader along with Lin Huang finally arrived on the spot.

Master Xiao's soul was ensnared by a mysterious chain layered in flames. The sect leader punched out a few pieces then poured his power on Master Xiao's body. The power flowing through each vein gathered at his dantian before entering the sea of consciousness.

Lin Huang's chest suddenly hurt until he collapsed.

"Help him fast! " say the sect leader.

Sect Protector Zheng He helped Lin Huang try to reduce the pain he was suffering. The clashing streams of qi happening on Lin Huang's body made him in pain.

Zheng He did as he was told by bringing Lin Huang's body closer to that of Teacher Xiao's. The sect leader unleashed his power in the air creating ancient characters that coiled into a formation. Within Lin Huang's sea of consciousness, Master Xiao's soul was almost burned by purgatory.

With the formation activated by the sect leader, purgatory received a danger signal thus turning into a defensive position. The ancient script began to enter Master Xiao's body freeing his soul that was chained to the sacrifice of purgatory.

The ancient script began to melt the chains that bound Master Xiao's soul. Purgatory is burning out of control. Lin Huang convulsed with sweat drenching his entire body. Zheng He felt his body would burn when it touched Lin Huang's body.

"So he don't let anything bad happen to him" said the sect leader.

Zheng He nodded his head. The sect leader tried to enter into the sea of consciousness Lin Huang saved Master Xiao's soul directly. The sect leader saw his surroundings blazing with fire. Read the tranquilizing spell until the fire is slowly extinguished.

"Yi Young Su... "

A mysterious voice called out the name of the sect leader. The huge figure behind the darkness that only both eyes were looking at the Sect Leader.

"Who are you? " ask the Sect Leader.

The shadow of the tail is occasionally seen with movement around something.

"My resurrection will determine the order of heaven, I hope you keep this child hidden from the people of the heavenly realms" he said in an echoing voice.

The Sect Leader finally knew that the figure in front of him was the real Dragon Emperor.

"Son understand, the Noble Sect will protect to the death, " replied the Sect Leader.

The Dragon Emperor's body seemed to fill the entire ocean of Lin Huang's consciousness. Every now and then it moves making small shocks.

"The descendants of the Worldly Emperor should have been born, someday he and this child along with the chosen female will open the gates of the sky. Man will be led by the Worldly Emperor until endless glory creates harmony of the world and fights the demons"

"Hamba will educate him until the time comes" said the Sect Leader.

Master Xiao's soul disappeared back into his body along with the Sect Leader who had regained his consciousness. Shortly thereafter Master Xiao was shocked to see the Sect Leader and Sect Protector nearby.

"Leader, " said Teacher Xiao weakly.

Zheng He helped Teacher Xiao sit down. The Sect Leader explained that he had become unconscious due to automatic protection when the souls of others entered Lin Huang's sea of consciousness. Teacher Xiao understood then went to rest after being given a soul recovery pill by the Sect Leader.

Zheng He who was one of the esteemed people in the Noble Sect then asked the Sect Leader.

"What happened to him? " ask Zheng He.

"Your job is to protect the Sect. Whatever happens in the future, protect this child's life like you're protecting your own life" the Sect Leader said.

"Why? " ask Zheng He who was a little relaxed as he with the Sect Leader was an old friend.

The Sect Leader looked at the golden bell on the mountain peak followed by Zheng He who followed the Sect Leader's gaze.

"Because I bear the responsibility, "said the Sect Leader.
