“Was I?” Chris chuckled, trying to wriggle his way out of it, but neither the Walters nor the Burkes were buying it. Both the Walters and the Burkes nodded.Chris exhaled, before speaking his eyes fixed on the little ancestors, “Chaos spiritual roots are the most powerful… they are like yin and yang co-existing within the same person. The person’s aptitude determines whether they can maintain balance… perfect harmony of yin and yang or whether one overpowers the other.”He chuckled as he added, seeing the concern etched on the faces of the adults, “Our little ones, like fifth brother said, have their priorities set right.”A smile spread across everyone’s faces as the deeper meaning settled in their hearts.“Even if they are pushed…” this time, a genuine smile that carried pride spread across his face, “they will choose the right path, with a balanced heart.”“What did their choices mean?” Vincent asked curiously.“These two…” Chris pointed at the oldest and the youngest, “their choice
Once all four were finished, and they had come down from the platform, Chris’s master waved his hand. The spirit stone disappeared.He stood up and chanted as he levitated. Golden runes appeared, encircling the high platform. They extended all the way to the heavens... or at least it looked that way. They remained for nearly a minute before disappearing. In their place sat a large pure white jade disc, almost covering the entire surface of the platform.“You can place all four of them, if you want to test their constitution.” Chris’s master’s voice boomed from high above.Chris Jnr and Emm took their siblings and were about to place them but feeling the coldness from the jade they hesitated; Chris Jnr turned to Chris’s master, “Master Grandpa, can you put a carpet on this… it is very cold.”Chris’s master’s lips twitched.“They will be fine… they won’t be cold.” Chris knelt to their height and coaxed. “Do you trust daddy?”“Mm” there was no hesitation in their voices.“Then listen to d
Preparations for the hundred-day ceremony had long since been completed by Chris's master and Hendrick.There were no outsiders, only family and those they considered family: the Walters, Burkes, Hua Yueren, Bai-Min, Lai-Li, Neil, Adrian, his wife Iris, and their son Jonah.The day started like any other... well, perhaps not quite like any other day. How often did the Walter and Burke Clans board Chris's Night Empire jets and head for an unmarked island?Even after they disembarked from the jet, their anticipation didn't fade, it only grew stronger. The adults' enthusiasm perhaps carried a hint of anxiety if one looked closely, but no one seemed any wiser.Marcus carried one of the babies while the oldest, Big Treasure, walked beside him. Little Treasure followed close behind, and Philip brought up the rear carrying the remaining babies as they headed toward Master's cottage.Emile looked at the responsible little people before her and giggled as she whispered to Chris, “We really don’
In the evening, the Burkes came over as usual, the only difference from usual was this time, they were all in attendance, from the oldest Matthias to the youngest, Liam.This time round, the explanations went smoothly, perhaps practice makes perfect… or having your family backing you … makes your spine straighter even if you are speaking about the impossible… who knows!The reaction of the Burkes was no different from that of the Walters… with the exception of Matthias.“First uncle, you don’t seem surprised.” Emile giggled as her gaze skirted over her cousins dumb founded expression before settling on Matthias who seemed to have taken the news in a stride.“The world is vast and wide…” Matthias shrugged, “And who says that the old must be extinct before a new world can emerge?”“True…” Everett nodded as he sank into contemplation. He wasn’t cataloguing but reviewing everything he had ever read or known about his family history. His eyes narrowed as he remembered the information he had
He went on to explain everything about their ancestry… the legend of the cultivator world, their ancestor and the prophecy.“The lightning that day…. The sky….” Thomas asked, his eyes widening in enlightenment.Chris nodded.“No wonder you guys looked like you had finished a battle with the heavens.” Eric too nodded with a rare solemn expression.No one spoke after this, not because they had nothing to ask, but because they didn't know what to ask.Unlike other families, their concerns weren't about power or talent. Nor were they concerned with why they had missed out.Their concern was simple:How do we protect them?“In the cultivation world, there is a ceremony for newborns on their hundredth day. It is mainly to check their foundation and if they have the innate ability to cultivate.”“I was thinking of having their christening afterwards so that I can name them according to that…” He paused, “For cultivators, names mean much more than just a name… it is a reminder, a restraint and
Time flew by and, in the blink of an eye, three months had already passed. One weekend afternoon, as they sat chatting together, Elizabeth suddenly looked around anxiously.“We haven’t christened the little ones.”Everyone paused. They had all been wrapped up in the little ones’ bright smiles and liveliness that they had forgotten. They all turned their gazes towards their omnipotent youngest son and little brother. Moments later, those blank expressions slowly transformed into confusion, carrying the same question.‘How could you forget something so important?’Chris chuckled, wearing his usual carefree manner, as though everything was under control, as always.“No hurry… there’s plenty of time. We can plan slowly.”“I don’t believe you forgot.” Adam shook his head; his confusion only lasted for a few seconds. He knew his youngest son best. In his plans, there was never a misstep nor a moment of miscalculation.He stared at his son for a while before narrowing his eyes. His voice turn
“TTHHHHUUUUDDD”The door fell backwards into the room, stunning not just the occupant but also the people outside.Amanda was stunned as she was unaware of the havoc outside due to the sound proofing effects inside the room; the people outside were stunned due to the outfit or the lack of it on the pe
“Now that, that is all out of the way…” Mark paused as he narrowed his eyes towards Chris who shrunk his head slightly as he knew what his big brother was going to ask, while the rest looked curiously.“I am more interested to know what you wanted Henry to do.” Mark raised his eyebrows challenging, d
Adam found it too depressing to stay at the old house and called Chris asking him if it was possible to move the plans ahead of time. The old house was full of memories, and he needed a change; the relaxed aura was just to put the kids at ease, his heart was always in turmoil.Chris didn’t even ask f
Chris started to make his move once he was discharged from hospital. He got Jonas to purchase all the shares from the small fries which amounted to 10%. Thinking about the 5% shares that got transferred to military, Chris called Henry as he wasn’t sure how things worked up there.“Hello” Henry answer
