《Travel Through The Lands》Chapter 7, a strange youth.

As Lief watched the words, a familiar voice was also reading it in the back of Liefs head. Lief watched the words and listened to the voice, his face constantly changing, from a ha your shit at spelling look to shock, dread, then to surprise and finally horror as he realized that the blood he drank a while ago in that cave was...This Cauldrons owner?
Lief stared at the ever changing , blood red words on his arm as many questions filled his mind.
'Who is it? Whoever it is, are they mad at me for drinking the blood? Is it even Human? If it wasn't, why did it say Human?!'
Lief decided that his best option would be to act as if he hadn't heard the voice and head home and ask his father about it, so he allowed the Cauldron to continue to sit on his right hand, then opened the door and sprinted out of the Cultivation Vault storage building.
As he reached the outside, he continued sprinting towards his City, at his current speed, he could reach it within 5 minutes whereas if he was walking with his old speed, it would have taken him several hours.
However, as he reached the halfway point his right arm started to sting and another string of red lines slithered out of the Cauldron and formed into the words "Slight warning kiddo If you keep running your gonna run into a-"
Before the word could even fully take place, Lief rammed into an invisible wall that shot him back 100 meters, straight into what felt like a brick wall!
Lief ignored the pain and turned around to see how a wall could have appeared behind him after he had run in a straight line through plain fields. After he turned around he was astonished to see a black clothed youth no older than 16 yawning with his palm out in an uncaring manner!
"Cmon kid don't go flying into strangers! Hahaha"
"You're not much older than me, what right do you have to call me a kid! What did you just use to stop me?" Lief was annoyed and baffled by this strange teen.

"Haha, kid don't be stupid! I'm almost 16 billion in human years. Anyway, I told you I would be coming so it's not like I'm unannounced." The youth smirked.
Lief stared at the strange youth, gobsmacked. He wasn't so gullible as to believe everything this kid said but as he sent a string of Qi to check his Realm he was greeted with an uncountable number of blood red eyes staring back at him! Scared, Lief looked at the youths face only to be terrified.
The youth had completely black eyes without the slightest bit of white, but after staring into his eyes for a while, Lief noticed there were several thin red cracks separating parts of the black!
The strange thing was, apart from his eyes and his strange smile, everything else seemed completely normal as if he was plucked out from a common city and told to stand in front of Lief!
"Child, you drank my blood and used one of the Cauldrons I made, this is slightly interesting to me, and seeing the memories of the Cauldron it seems you have a pretty useful ability unique to like, I don't know like uh, four-ish living creatures in this universe? Five including you of course, luckily for me it's also one of the ability's I haven't regained yet... Tell you what kiddo, lemme grab some of your blood and ill tell you most of the uses of your ability." The youth stated as if it was a natural thing to do.
Before Lief could even reject the suspicious the youth grabbed him by the arm however instead of taking blood or squeezing, all he did was gently hold onto Lief,'s arm?
"Ahhh, that's the ability! There it is, I missed you didn't I little guy, Heh heh! Oh yeah, the ability allows the holder to go out of their body like a little ghost, uh when you reach god realm you can pretty much make yourself immortal by cloning yourself and, well fleeing in ghost form the moment your about to die, for example, if you were 'bout to be executed by beheading, you really wanna ditch your body as you feel the wind from the blade, though it's not really needed it saves you the trouble of having people think you fainted before you were killed...Yeah, that would be embarrassing... Well anywho, I don't dislike you yet so I guess I'll let you keep the Cauldron, I said I would order it to do a few things but eh... I just can't be bothered if I'm honest with you..."

"Eh, uh. Thanks...?" Lief was clearly mind boggled and could barely form a sentence
Lief couldn't grasp the situation at all his mind felt like it would collapse at any moment, the man was leaking energy that made the ground beneath him crumble!
Suddenly, the air behind the youth distorted and begun to separate forming a giant rift that looked like it was big enough to swallow entire country appeared from nowhere to reveal a giant, grey eye!
The eye glanced at everything before enthusiastically speaking.
"Damion, sir! We have had the fortune of catching your favourite meal today!"
"Ohh! I assume you mean my favorite food in this Universe or did you actually take the time to travel into the 53rd Galaxy of the 85th Universe?"
"My deepest apologies for being unclear sir, we have tried traveling through Universes on multiple occasions but even Gelienth has been unable to breach. I did indeed mean the Angel of this world, I'm sorry if I were unclear. Allow this one to take his life in apology!"
"No need. Just give me your next born, that shall be enough of an apology as I'm quite happy with eating Angel today! Unlike last week I desire it to be well done."
"Sir, my next born is yours, well done it will be Sir! Please come along at your earliest convenience."
"I'll come with you. Oh, and Child, yah know that rift symbol on your right wrist doesn't have any severe bad sides right, apart from only being usable 10 times anyway... Walking everywhere would surely get boring, oh, Cauldron make like his rift and become a marking... I feel like his rift needs a buddy, go ahead and become a cool little Cauldron marking on his right hand! Bye kid!"
As Lief watched the rift close he felt a pain in his hand as the Cauldron lowered into his hand, he realised his mouth was agape and he was slightly drooling! Wiping himself off he decided to ignore the tingling sensation in his right hand and try's to remember everything he just heard.
When he remembered how the eye told the youth, Damion? That his favourite meal from this world was Angel he forgot everything about Universes and galaxy's because in this world, Just one Angel was rare and where ever they went and whoever they saw, everyone saw them as gods and powerful beings. They also had an ability that made people weaker than them only able to think pure thoughts about them. In this world, Lief hadn't even thought that a cultivator could even think of harming an Angel, however, this man had lackeys that would kill and cook an Angel FREQUENTLY?! This was way too much for Lief and he even felt like throwing up!
After several hours of thinking about everything that had previously happened, Lief decided to teleport to his father! H
'Fath- In front of fa- In a safe place outside of where ever my father is.'
Lief wasn't a hundred percent sure that he wouldn't teleport literally inside his father, and he sure as hell didn't want to scare him by appearing in front of him so he took the alternative.
His hand tingled and the number changed from 10 to 9.
Even though Lief didn't blink, in an instant the entire world went black and then in the next instant he was outside of what seemed like a cemetery. This was weird because no one in Lief's family had died since they moved and only a small handful of City commoners had died and none of those had even been acquaintances of his family.
Several steps ahead of Lief was his father, staring down at a gravestone.
"Father?"
"Son?"
