Towards Eternity
Ch 607s
Hundreds of years ago, when the Five Great Families still stood and controlled the Mainland in their respective territories, an event that shook the entire world occurred.
The Weng Family Leader who was the strongest person in the entire Mainland managed to reach a martial level that no one in Mainland had achieved for thousands of years. The level is called the Absolute Realm which is predicted to be the highest martial realm ever and ever achieved by someone.
That incident should have been a happy event since it had been a very long time since someone in the Mainland had successfully reached the Absolute realm. The last time the person who managed to reach the realm was also the Head of the Weng Family, who was none other than Weng Lou also in his previous life.
Just then, the other four big families responded to the news calmly. Although they were all hostile to each other, but someone with martial level in the Absolute realm was news that could make the conflict that occurred between them stop at that very moment. Representatives from the four great families immediately flocked to the Weng Family residence to congratulate the Family Head.
They are competing to be the one who gives a good impression of the Weng Family. Various gifts were given and many daughters of each family were sent to attract the attention of the Head of the Family at that time, because it turned out that despite having terrible power, it was a terrible power, but in fact, the Head of the Family still does not have a lover who causes many daughters from large families who come to try their luck.
But their efforts were in vain because the Head of the Family at that time was not interested at all in worldly things like women, he was fully focused on continuing to increase his martial level.
Time then passed, and about 5 years later, shocking news was again heard throughout the Mainland region.
The news was about the mysterious death of the Head of the Weng Family. With the news, the previous conflict between the five families broke out again, and this time it became much more serious.
However, no movement has really impacted the Mainland by the five families, as the other four families could not confirm whether Weng Lou, who is the main, the Head of the Weng Family had truly died. If one of them really took serious action, but it turned out that Weng Lou was still alive, then it was clear that their fate would be over by then and there.
After all, the shadow of the power that the Head of the Weng Family possessed had long since been imprinted on the hearts of all of them so that no one dared to take the slightest risk possible.
Compared to the other four families, the Weng Family itself chose to completely shut itself down and not let a single piece of information out from within. Only the Weng Family itself knew whether Weng Lou had indeed died or not at that time.
After the closure of the Weng Family, all the conflicts that occurred in the outside world seemed to come to a halt. And for some reason, it looks like nothing happened. But the silence was only a silence before the storm hit. Even one year after the news of Weng Lou's death, finally something shocking happened.
The sound of bells echoed throughout the Mainland and made anyone who heard them feel their nape goosebumps. It was a bell sound that could only be produced by an Absolute Weapon possessed by the Weng Family since ancient times.
When the bell sounded, the entire Mainland completely became in an uproar, and was thrown in shock. The sound of the bell can only signify one thing. The Head of the Weng Family has died!
It's not like a year ago, where people couldn't confirm if he really died! With the sound of the Absolute Bell, Weng Lou's death was confirmed!
The Four Great Families, Yang, Ying, Wang, and Lin, were all also shocked to hear the sound of those bells. But their shock did not last long, and the eyes of ambition instantly filled the three pairs of eyes of the three Great Family Heads. The Yang, Ying, and Wang families instantly took action right then and there, by launching an attack that had been held for over a year, the war finally broke out.
Chaos soon ensued, and a delayed war finally erupted. With the exception of the Lin Family, the other three families did not hold back at all. They immediately went to war with each other, without worrying about the threat from the Weng Family.
The Lin family did not participate in that war. It was common knowledge that they had a close bond with the Weng Family since ancient times. The wife of the Head of the Weng Family had always been from the Lin Family, and this had been going on since the first time their family was formed.
As the three regions in the Mainland were filled with the chaos of warfare, only the Lin Family and Weng Family territories seemed calm as if the chaos outside their territory did not bother them at all. But only the two families knew that at this time a much larger mess could break out at any time if the last message from the Head of the Weng Family was heard coming out of their territory.
The power of the Lin Family back then was held by the two Phoenix bloodlines. One was a Phoenix bloodline that had the main properties of a healer, while the other was a Phoenix bloodline that had the properties of annihilation. The Destruction Phoenix did have these two main traits, so the Lin Family was also separated by these two things.
Due to the difference of the two bloodlines, this made the Head of the Lin Family also there were two, with each one of these two bloodlines.
Almost at the same time when a dispute occurred within the Lin Family, the last message from Family Head Weng before dying was finally heard by the two.
That last message was very simple and clear, yet anyone who heard it would definitely be completely shocked to death.
"Bring the Weng Family out of the Mainland, and separate yourself completely from the affairs that occur among the other four great families. For too long the Weng Family has been meddling in affairs in Mainland, it is time for the Weng Family to separate and focus on the development of martial arts completely. As for the other four families, bring anyone of them, who really wants to join us. Do not hinder anyone who has a dream towards Eternity. We Martial Practitioners, are true seekers of Eternity, and the Weng Family will support anyone who lives on that path!"
When it came to the ears of the two Heads of the Lin Family, that last message caused uneasiness within the entire family members.
This was especially so for the Phoenix Bloodline Family Head who had the nature of annihilation, instead of dispelling his desire to go to war, he was instead much more determined to join the great war. It was far different from the Lin Family Head of the Phoenix bloodline who had healing properties.
Although he looked shaky on the outside, yet in his heart, he was filled with the respect and sincerity of a follower's loyalty.
Without any hesitation he gathered everyone from his family members who were in the Phoenix bloodline who had healing properties and rushed towards the Weng Family residence.
Soon enough, the last message from Family Head Weng reached the ears of the other three Family Heads and immediately caused upheaval within their respective families. After the commotion for some time, finally ten percent of each of the three families decided to separate themselves from their own families and rushed towards the Weng Family territory.
Their actions make them all branded as traitors by each of their family origins. The reason, the ten percent who decided to leave were each from an extremely influential elder within each of the three Great Families.
Yet they did not care, their only concern was to join the Weng Family. They were tired of fighting and wanted to find peace in the pursuit of Eternity.
With their departure to the Weng Family's territory, the war entered into a much greater extent and even shook the region outside the Mainland. When that great war broke out, at the same time something truly shocking happened in the Weng Family territory.
A huge crack soon formed on the border of the Weng Family with the rest of the family territory. The crack was extremely large, to the point that its bottom could not be seen. Flatten it as if it were an absolute separator between the Weng Family's territory and the others.
After the crack was created, a huge earthquake then occurred across the Mainland and at the same time something else startling happened. The Weng Family Region that had been separated by a huge crack, slowly began to lift up into the air.
The incident was witnessed by everyone who was at war at that time and was truly a great uproar.
The entire Weng Family territory flew up into the air, and after a sufficient amount of time, it finally completely reached the sky, and people could see the bottom on the ground rising up it. When it had risen high enough, the Weng Family region had started to move towards one direction in a fairly high speed, leaving the entire Mainland completely.
Just when the Weng Family territory started to disappear in the distance, a voice that sounded like a young man could be heard throughout the Mainland.
The voice sounded foreign to most ears that heard it, but the Heads of the Great Family recognized it immediately upon hearing the voice.
"I, Weng Lou hereby declare the Weng Family to separate from the Mainland completely, and you each of the remaining four families can live as you wish in the Mainland without having to fear the Weng Family interfering. However, with this also all of you are bound by oath to me, to the entire sky and this world, no one from the Mainland will set foot into the territory of the Weng Family. If anyone dared to, then the entire Weng Family would be forced to take the necessary actions. And that action was a great annihilation, without exception. These are my last words to you, pursue strength, attain Eternity!"
As soon as the voice finished speaking, the Weng Family territory in the distance of the sky disappeared completely from the sight of the people in the Mainland.
With the rise of the voice, and the departure of the entire Weng Family territory, then the Mainland completely only had the Four Great Families left!
