The Swordsman of Heaven
Chapter 5: A Fortune? Or Is It Even a Catastrophe?

Chapters 5.

Inside an Immortal Crystal Cave that was famous for its immense Qi pressure, there appeared a shabby young man sitting leaning against a golden-colored Crystal.

The young man was none other than Zhao Feng, the adopted son of Elder Zhao Yun, and also the young man known by the nickname 'The Trash of the Thousand Star Sect'.

He had been in this cave for a month, always feeling the most painful torment. He can only resign himself, for in the world, the strong will always oppress the weak.

Indeed, he had already planned various ways just to escape from this tribulation Cave, but no matter how many plans he made, he had to, all of those plans feel meaningless against such a tight security.

One day he almost escaped from this cave by disguising himself as one of the Disciples guarding him. But everything ended up failing, because that day was the day that Elder Shin Mo had come to see him.

As a result, he was severely beaten by Elder Shin Mo, to the point that Zhao Feng almost lost his own life. But Elder Shin Mo certainly would not let that happen, using a Level 2 Healing Pill, making the formerly dying Zhao Feng gradually start to improve.

All his hopes of getting out of here had been dashed, he could only sit pensively waiting for the miracle he hoped to come to him... But will the miracle happen? Just thinking about it already made Zhao Feng shake his head.

"Hey Zhao Feng! Take your food rations!"

As Zhao Feng was pensive with his own thoughts, suddenly a voice came from outside the Cave. Indeed, within the Eternal Crystal Cave was famous for its enormous Qi pressure, which was extremely large, elder Shin Mo therefore strongly forbade his disciples who were still in the 5th level of the Qi Development Realm from entering, even if they were wearing protective Artifacts.

Unlike the Elder Shin Mo who was in the 5-star Emperor Realm and also his son, who was in the 7-star Golden Warrior Realm, who could at will to enter inside, were, because he and his son had precious Artifacts that made such a strong Qi pressure have no effect on him.

While the snot disciples would not dare to enter, even a step. Actually they were a little unafraid to go inside, but they were very afraid of the ban made by Elder Shin Mo.

It should have been that great Qi pressure that applied to Zhao Feng, yet somehow it did not apply to him. It also surprised Elder Shin Mo greatly, but he also felt a little relieved, because no Elder would dare to free Zhao Feng from this cave, and that meant that he could make sure to make Zhao Feng suffer for even longer.

The Immortal Crystal Cave, or better known as the Prohibition Cave for the Thousand Star Sect was a Cave located on the edge of the Sect territory. Making the existence of this Cave was hidden to the disciples of the Thousand Star Sect, yet it did not apply to the disciples of Elder Shin Mo.

This cave was actually the Cave of the ancestors of the Thousand Star Sect, Shao Lin Huang. Shao Lin Huang was a legend that was well known to all those in the Thousand Star Sect. Even the previous Emperor of the Liu Empire also acknowledged the prowess of that Legendary figure.

A Legend who had once done the very impossible thing in this world, which was to penetrate the Saint realm. The realm that became the end of peak cultivation for mortal people.

But that doesn't mean that Zhao Feng can be respected like his Clan predecessors, even if he has a legend bloodline flowing through his body, it doesn't mean anything else in the world.

It is true that the weak will always be oppressed by the strong. No matter what you have, the weak are weak.

Although this Cave was predicted to be a dangerous place for the disciples as well as the Elders of the Thousand Star Sect, there was something big hidden. A secret, deliberately hidden, with the aim of waiting for the birth of the new Legend to come and inherit all the secrets.

...----------------...

In the darkness of the Cave filled with enormous Qi pressure, there appeared a young man who was sitting leaning on a golden crystal in the corner of the Cave.

The young man was none other than Zhao Feng, with a body full of bruises, the young man seemed to be thinking very hard. No one knows what he is thinking, only he knows.

It did not feel like 5 months had passed since he was imprisoned here, and the longer he was here, the more miserable his fate would be. His body, which used to look fit, has now become thinner, a sign of how terrible his condition was during his time in this cave.

Not to mention the effect of the Qi pressure that was inside the Cave, which made Zhao Feng's cultivation level that was once in the 2-star Qi Development Realm, a.s.sage, now the drastic decline made him have to stay in the 2-star Body Strengthening Cultivation Realm.

Surely Zhao Feng felt extremely angry as well as annoyed when he realized how far he was slumping. Moreover, if he did not get out of here immediately, then his entire Meridian would be destroyed as the Qi pressure grew increasingly fatal to him. And if that were to happen, then he would definitely not be able to become a Cultivator for the rest of his life.

Zhao Feng's achievement in surviving during the Immortal Crystal Cave until this second was so admirable, no disciple in the Qi Development Realm would survive. At the most they would last for an hour, and that too had to be supplied with a Healing Pill. But not for Zhao Feng's body, at least he could hope to live, although it wouldn't take long either.

Zhao Feng suddenly recalled his past so very happy. Being a respected person, made Zhao Feng live with happiness. Especially with his level of genius that was beyond reason, again made himself live with praise.

However it was now only a bitter memory that Zhao Feng felt. All that happiness was shattered into pieces in just one night. A bloody night, which has taken away everything he has for ever.

...----------------...

That night the moon shone brightly, but surrounded by black clouds. That night also felt very cold, which made people become reluctant to continue their activities.

That night the Emperor of the Liu Empire, Liu Yang Shin and also his daughter, Liu Yun Ming had just left the Thousand Star Sect. That night the atmosphere was filled with crowds in order to release the Emperor's departure to return to the Empire. Surely everyone would not be able to miss such a very rare thing, which was to be able to meet the Emperor in person.

In fact the Elders mostly disagreed with the proposal, given that it was already night time, which would be very dangerous for Emperor Liu Yang Shin to travel home.

The proposal came from none other than the Grand Elder of the Thousand Star Sect, namely Shao Lan Yang, the father of Zhao Feng. Shao Lan Yang proposed that the Emperor quickly return to the empire. Because he felt that tonight would be a very big event.

Surely the Great Elder did not reveal his true intentions, as the Emperor had been good friends with Grand Elder Shao Lan Yang, leading Emperor Liu Yang Shin to accept the proposal directly.

After talking about the engagement between Zhao Feng and Liu Yun Ming, the Emperor had finally set out to head back to Liu Imperial Palace.

Many Thousand Star Sect Elders were sent to escort the Emperor, which made the defense of the Thousand Star Sect even weaker. And all those facts, which make the incident even bigger.

"My husband, do you feel that there will be a big incident in this Sect?"

Seeing the look on her husband's face that looked so very worried, made Zhao Feng's mother, Shui Yan Hui, ask about her husband's premonition.

"Yes. I feel like something bad is going to happen..."

Shao Lan Yang replied to the question from the wife in a worried voice, which signified that whatever the upcoming events were, it would definitely have a huge effect on the Thousand Star Sect.

Shao Lan Yang slowly walked up to the wide open window before him, revealing the nightly atmosphere that was slowly becoming quiet.

But suddenly, both eyes of Shao Lan Yang let out a golden flame that was so burning, but the change in the eyes of Shao Lan Yang would not be able to be seen by people carelessly, either, even his wife could not see him.

Yeah, that's right. Those two eyes were what gave Shao Lan Yang a warning about a major event that would befall the Thousand Star Sect. Those two eyes were a blessing that Shao Lan Yang had since birth, a pair of eyes that were so incredibly powerful, capable of matching the power of the gods themselves.

...----------------...

Anger erupted within Zhao Feng as he recalled the bloody night. The more he wanted to forget it, the greater the memory stuck in his mind.

Zhao Feng quickly got up and turned his body, and with a sudden turn...

"Baghhh!"

A fist was flashed by Zhao Feng on a golden-colored Crystal that he had previously used to lean on. But as a result of that action, making Zhao Feng's right hand bleed because it punched the Crystal that had a sharp surface.

"Akhs! How stupid of me! I shouldn't let anger affect my mind!"

Zhao Feng cursed the foolish action he had just done, because the injury he had sustained, would be fatal to him. Given that the Qi pressure here is so enormous, being able to make even the slightest wound would be difficult to regenerate.

However at the moment when Zhao Feng who was busy grumbling in annoyance, it was suddenly that the Crystal he had just punched out slowly emitted a faint glow.

The incident only made Zhao Feng surprised and astonished. Has he made a mistake now? If true, then luck would not side with him this time.

As Zhao Feng was preparing for the bad thing that was about to happen, it was precisely that light that gave off a golden beam that was so extremely bright. Even the Eternal Crystal Cave that was previously pitch-black, had now been seen light with just one luminous Ice Crystal.

Then it all made Zhao Feng amazed, especially when he could see the contents inside the golden ice crystal. Seeming that there were carvings of a pair of eyes that both glowed gold, now he realized that the golden light released by the golden crystal came from the engraving image of a pair of eyes inside.

But at the moment when Zhao Feng who was being amazed after seeing the image of the pair of eyes that were inside the ice crystal, suddenly his two eyes felt like they were burning with burning fire.

Zhao Feng fell to the ground and rolled on the ground while holding both of his eyes. Really, it hurt so much to him. That heat, even more than any kind of fire he had ever touched.

But unknown to Zhao Feng, the image of the pair of eyes inside the Ice Crystal slowly turned into two small pieces of gold-colored light. The two lights slowly flew from within the ice crystal, and entered into the eyes of Zhao Feng.

The pain-filled cry from Zhao Feng that had previously echoed through the entire Cave, suddenly came to a halt the moment the two lights entered both eyes. Now no one knows the condition of the poor young man, but for sure...

The Legend that this world has been waiting for has been born, and in the end, once again the light will shine again, to illuminate the darkness that has always haunted mankind.
