A few days had passed with Ren's people settling in to his changes. Jackson was the calmest as he ever been since his master would not kill him for being his nephew of a hated brother.  Nala stood far away and did not dare to come speak with him just yet. Despite the reassurance, she received from the others and her daughter Luyin specifically.  Currently, the Sect was having a bit of a problem of sorts. A few disciples at the rank of importance to Ren were there. A lot of heeing and hawing about the duty to the Sect. Trying to push for loyalty to what is said by Elders and those of authority long since dead. Yet skirting around the breaking of Sect rules by so many. At the end, the Sect Master got to the point of the matter. The lineup was meant to be intimidating, it was not. Especially with Elder Kung having completed the task Ren appointed him before. The worthwhile effort towards the Sleeping Elders would be swayed comp

"It requires us to give ourselves to him. To bare our soul." Another Sleeping Elder spoke catching a few meanings more. Eyes on Zia as if she was a long lost friend. 'She is young, so know way it could be true. They all died. Maybe she refined the blood of one of my kind?'"Cultivation is all I care about in the World. You can have it." The elder said decisively. The formation lit up under him and his body exploded before reconfiguring. "So much power." The man mumbled in joy. He slowly went through his entire life. All 6,675 years of it. So many insights and glimpses of what he never noticed before played out. "I have lived a good life but, I still want more!"Left to his thoughts, the others observed his actions. The twitching fingers and moving toes. Almost like a baby trying to discover the World."The Reformation Realm is important for several reasons." Ren smiled. "Especially if you know someone who can utilize it better." His tone came out wise as he move

"I have never really been disappointed by you two. Hope this continues." Playfully, he caressed the face of the two before pulling away as if burned. It was not appropriate with his current thoughts. "Rest, then spend time collecting yourselves with the power in your souls. "Yes, my King." Zia's breath came out huskily. The way Ren touched her was the same as when he hugged her long ago. Her heart beating in excitement at the thought of a kiss. 'I can feel the dragons in my Manual growing. The power inside them is so rich!' "Yes, my King." Suresha felt her body tingle in all the right ways. No doubt of Ren's words previously the day he entered her forge. 'Nothing wrong with being a strong woman. He really doesn't care.' "Elder Tani, plant these with the utmost of care." Delivering the woman the Darkness Seeds. He passed a glance at her belly. "Do be careful in what you eat, do not taste any of these." Blushing she nodded to him. "Ren, I will speak wit

 "The Lan clan prepared really well for this. Well, that old monster did anyway." Ren was amazed the generations of the Lan Clan ran so deep. "How many of your people have died all this time? Did Elder Kung even need to save the others?""I do not know. I know I have inherited a nest of worms and snakes." Valli frowned more than smiled. "Haa, my sisters really have the better life if this keeps up."The Royal Guards were embarrassed they fell to the formation. Not much they can do against the blood call. They didn't even know they were related to the Lan family. To be fair, neither did the Royal Family or Ren."I really hate my life!" Elder Rani looked forward disgusted. Ren and Empress Valli looked towards her. "The moment he touched me, the very use of his Ion energy to get me to stop, I could tell..." The Traitor Sword in her hand pulsed before going dim. Ren flicked his fan sealing inside the woman for later use. A small opal appear

.Melinda is clued in-.Melinda felt completely agitated as she paced in her quarters at the Palace. Soruda and Valli coming in with a few of the guards. Plus a weary Morticia and Jackson. Both had seen better days than this."Melinda, he couldn't help in that case. Neither did he want to." Soruda said. "Why couldn't he?" Melinda didn't understand. "Countless Medicines can help restore burned-away longevity.""He cannot burn longevity any longer." Soruda frowned at her daughter. "He is not a member of the Reaper Clan anymore. His Silver.. ability, it is long since gone." Letting that sink in a little more, the mother reluctantly told her about an instance before. "Ren burned almost his entire longevity and soul once do what you just saw.""It is not something done lightly and without severe cost." Morticia wheezed a little. "One uses their spiritual blood to restore another. It works better for those with close ties such as fam
