Chapter 13-

Jian Yian.He was one of the geniuses of the clan.He was at the pinnacle of the third layer.He was arrogant thinking he was the best,but well,there were tens of people who were stronger than him.

“Young Master,although you are at the sixth layer,*smirk* I have taken something just to deal with you.”He smirked and slowly took out a sword,it was shining and covered in symbols.”A Martial Ki Refiner Level Weapon…”Jian Yun looked coldly at the sword.

He smirked and shot towards Jian Yun smirking.”DIE!”He shouted and thrust the sword forward,unleashing a vortex of Qi.’It seems weapons are allowed,huh?’Jian Yun smiled,He bent his body and thrust his fist forward,”DRAGON FIST!”From his fist qi gathered to form a thick dragon with no wings.

He smirked and the Dragon flew towards Jian Yian,like a predator.Jian Yian was left crying and wet his pants.”I-i-i-I surrender!”He shouted breathing heavily with terrified eyes,crying,as his eyes turned black.

The elder nodded and shouted,”Jian Yun is the winner!”’The audience roared and cheered.Jian Yun instead,was looking at the sky.”Oh shit…”He muttered and in an instant flew towards Jian Wei and Jian Chen,grabbed them both by a hand and disappeared.

The audience had no time to register what happened before the whole arena exploded...The raiders were the Li Clan!

Li Fan sneered.He was a pinnacle Martial Master,capable of destroying the Ji clan two times easily.He had already killed two of the four Martial Master,and soon would kill the other two,The Ancestor and Jian Lang.

Jian Yun sighed in relief,”You are safe.”

“What happened?”Jian Chen asked,”Where are we?”He smiled,”We are in my Immortal Cave,250 kilometers away.”

“WHY DID YOU TAKE US AWAY?!I SAW THE ENEMIES!”Jian Wei shouted in rage.”Enemies?Then which realm?Refiner?Don’t joke.THEY WERE ALL MARTIAL ARTISTS AND MASTERS!”Jian Yun roared.

The two were silent.It was true.If he didn’t do that,their chances of escaping would be beyond low.”BUT STILL!WE ARE PART OF THAT CLAN!WE COULD HELP THEM!”Jian Chen roared.”Fine.”Jian Yun sneered,”You can go back.”

“I helped you guys because I thought of you two as friends,but from now on...It seems It isn’t possible to help you guys any longer.”He said coldly,”WE NO LONGER ARE FRIENDS OR SWORN BROTHERS!”Jian Chen roared in rage and fury.

Jian Yun disappeared,but before he left a small tear left his eyes which was left unnoticed by Jian Chen but Jian Wei noticed it.”How dare he...HOW DARE HE?!”He roared.

***

Jian Chen was sad his eyes blank.’Friends...They truly are worthless...Or is it me who is worthless…?’He thought as rain fell on him.”Are the skies crying for me?”He smiled bitterly.’If only I had chosen better.’He took out a wooden ring.

Memories flashed in his mind.’This is the ring we gave each other as proof that we three will be friends forever.’He smiled and thought,”But now it’s worthless!”He roared and almost threw the ring,but couldn’t.

“Then all I can do is...Keep it.”He sighed and wore the ring.”Ties of the past...They aren’t easy to get rid of…”He smiled.”But I will walk forward.Regardless of what happens…”He said with blank eyes,slowly regaining their red colour.

“Are you lost,boy?”He heard a gentle voice,he looked behind and saw a middle aged man.”Where am I?”He had no idea where he was,he had used a Random Teleporting Seal,he had found somewhere to teleport.

“You are 555 kilometers away from the Cooper Rank Force,The Blue Vortex Palace.”The middle aged man said,his brown hair covering one of his blue eyes.

The ranks of sects and others went like this:Stone,Wood,Coal,Cooper,Silver,Iron,Black Iron and Finally Gold.Cooper Rank sects had Martial Grandmasters,and were terrifying.”Blue Vortex PalacE?”Jian Chen smiled.The Blue Vortex Palace was very powerful,they were in top 3 strongest cooper rank force’s.The disciples were all either complete Martial Refiners or Martial Ki Refiners.

“Can you help me,please?”He muttered weakly,the middle aged man helped him stand.”I sensed a powerful soul,thus came here.”He said smiling,”Oh by the way my name is Ji Tian,an Elder of the Blue Vortex Palace.”Ji Tian smiled.

“Young Boy,do you want to become my disciple?”He smiled,”My name is Jian Yun,and yes.”Jian Yun said and bowed thrice.He could sense that Ji Tian was a nice man,and was a Martial Master.That would only benefit him.

For him having more than one master wasn’t anything big.”You are twelve?Ninth layer Martial Refiner...Not bad not bad...Aye!Your Cultivation Talent Grade is XxX!Meaning beyond eleven!”Ji Tian looked at Jian Yun with a blank expression.

He could see everything inside or outside with with his Great Master Realm.”It seems you are only a step away from the tenth layer…”He grinned,”Even in the Palace there is none like that!”He was madly dancing in joy,he had found...a talent!

“Come here,to grandpa!”He said and touched Jian Yun’s shoulder’s before disappearing.This was an eighth layer technique,”Teleport”

Capable of teleporting a person to a place he has seen before.Their view was replaced with a huge huge palace,over two kilometers itself.If it weren’t for his spacious soul he would’ve never seen all the palace.It’s land went across several hundred kilometers,and that was only this palace!

“This is the main palace,Blue Vortex!”Ji Tian grinned,proudly.”Here even Martial Ki Refiners are average at most,while Martial Fighters a bit higher,with Martial Artists being core members.Without us,the pillars,Martial Master,the whole Palace would be ruined in a flash.”

Jian Yu nodded.While a Martial Grandmaster was the core,without the pillars a building would quickly fall,as a single person can’t do everything.”At least,I can stay here for a few years.”Jian Yun thought in his heart,”Then a strong sect wouldn’t be bad.”

“Let’s go then.”Ji Tian waved his long sleeves and suddenly four thousand disciples appeared.”WE GREET LORD TIAN!”They all shouted.They sounded like a small army capable of ruining cities.”Amazing…”Jian Yun’s face was calm but deep inside he was amazed.

“Come.”Ji Tian grinned and grabbed his sleeves and walked towards the gate’s.They were floating in the air,like Gods.”That statue there is Lord Ji,my great grandfather.He was the first patriarch to enter the Grandmaster realm.”He smiled as he pointed at a statue.

The statue showed a person with black short hair and a grand armour,around two meters.A shining sword in his waist.He had a grand aura around him,which made every person which went through that place,to bow in respect to him.

Even he bowed.He had never seen such a grand place,because he usually lived in a ugly cave.He never had lived in a gorgeous palace or place,so this was a new experience for him.”How beautiful!”He exclaimed smiling.

“That is right.It was created by Lord Ji for the ancestor of this Palace,King Meng”Ji Tian said in happiness,he always felt the lively atmosphere here.And he just couldn’t have enough of it.

“That is right,there should be a special Qi doing this.”Jian Yun said,”That is true,it’s called,Happy Qi!A type of Qi capable of making people happy!”Ji Tian smirked in arrogance,”Even in the Three Top Copper Forces,Blue Vortex is ranked second!It was first around eleven times!”Jian Yun was curious.

“There is a Ranking Tournament each one hundred years,and our Palace has been existing for at least twenty thousand years!It is the oldest Copper Force!”Ji Tian smirked yet again,he was very proud,it could be seen.

“Unfortunately the damned Red Ice Pavilion cheated and took the first place, around ninety years ago.”Ji Tian sneered in disdain,”I was only a child back then.”He added,”So you are an old man then?”Jian Yun regretted what he said.”Yep.”Ji Tian said with a dark face.”I am sorry.”He replied sorry for what he said it was a bad memory for him.

“Anyway,let’s go.”He said and waved his hand,they reached a certain room,which they entered.
