Chapter 8: The Door to Cultivation (3)
This is the first time Long Yuan'an has ever stepped out of his home. And not only that, the place that they are heading to is Mysterious Star Sect, the place where his father took apprenticeship when young, and also the cultivation sect where his Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle were still training. Last time during his birthday banquet, Eldest Uncle didn't come because he was having a closed-door cultivation to upgrade his cultivation level into the Azoth Core stage.
From what he heard from his father, being able to raise his cultivation until Azoth Core in his early thirties is still a rarity among cultivators in the continent. People with general cultivation may only be able to upgrade themselves to Azoth Core level in their mid-50s the earliest, so for Eldest Uncle to be able to reach pre-Azoth Core stage is already an amazing feat by itself. As for Long Tianyue?
...Long Tianqiang said, it's better not to ask. OTL
His elder brother was a madman in sword cultivation since young, so he never cared about the royal throne. By the time he reached 15, he was already a mid-stage Azoth Core Sword Cultivation Warrior. He thought that his brother had calmed down for a bit after meeting his sister-in-law. Because of an accident, he even lost his memory and turned silly for 3 whole years. But who would ever thought, his amazing brother's cultivation would raise quickly to intermediate Nascent Soul stage the moment he regained his memory. Then...
Then, his brother turned into a bigger cultivation madman! He practiced so hard, he literally ascended to immortality. All of that happened before his brother even reached 27. And then, like nothing happened, he returned back from the upper realm, just to marry his sister-in-law!
(ﾉꐦ ๑´Д`๑)ﾉ彡┻━┻
No matter how heaven-defying, earth-shattering talent his elder brother have, he would have accepted it easily. But gaining godhood just to get married?! Are you fuggin kidding me??!! Such was the thoughts that were coursing throughout his mind when his brother just returned back from the upper realm. But being the bro-con he is, he quickly adapted and accepted the situation much more kindly than others.
He already knew that his brother is a walking cheat, so nothing can surprise him anymore. It would be much more surprising if Huang Feiyun didn't marry his brother with how much infatuation he had for her back then. Maybe, his brother would have turned to the dark side had she not agreed to his marriage proposal.
Long Yuan'an looked at the white clouds around them. Instead of a palanquin like his Second Uncle, they actually took something that looked like a zeppelin. They said that it was designed by his mother, and in addition for having a bigger space for more people, also used less magical power than other flying instrument.
Long Yuan'an felt that it was a pity. His mother is actually a talented engineer, but living in cultivation world where magic exist, her genius mind was under-appreciated just because she cannot cultivate aura like others. What's so bad about being unable to cultivate? At least there should be advancement in technology too in cultivation, or things would continue be so old-fashioned forever.
"Xiao'an, look. That's Mysterious Star Sect." Long Tianyue carried his son into his arms, and pointed to the top of a mountain with various sizes of peaks protruding on top of it. In the middle of the mountain, was a slight hollowness, but Long Yuan'an can see little black dots grouping in large numbers and moving around. They must be the disciples training on the practice ground. Then, his eyes wandered around the whole mountain.
From where he is, he can see 5 main peaks, with smaller peaks under each. Each main peaks have a magnificent building on top, almost looking like a castle. The smaller peaks, while doesn't look as tall and magnificent as the main peak, was big in size. Long Yuan'an thinks that the smaller peaks were probably the place where the disciples stayed and studied. The place really reminded him of a certain wizard school, but with ancient Chinese style building and decorations. And instead of a half giant coming over with a letter telling him "Yer a wizard, OXOOX." it was only his father suddenly saying to him during breakfast:
"Let's go get experience while training."
Such a random thing, but actually managed to make the young boy excited. It was not that he was bored, but living in the house for 4 whole years without stepping out of the gates even once, Long Yuan'an thought he was like a frog under the well. He even suspected that his parents are actually a pair of zashiki warashi couple instead of the young, energetic couple that their age should be.
"We'll be staying at my residence, the Cloudy Moon peak." Long Tianyue said, pointing to a peak a bit biased from the other main peak. As the name suggest, there were clouds forming around the whole peak, making it look cloudy. Different from the other peaks that have magnificent or small buildings built on top, the peak was surprisingly desolate. Only a small building was placed on top, with the surrounding bare of any plantations.
"It's not as beautiful as home, but the inside is big enough for our family." Long Tianyue added. As a sword cultivator of a righteous path, being humble and just are the most important for their cultivation. People may call them old-fashioned or strict, but without proper control of yourself, the sword being wield will just be a double-edged sword. So sometimes, they need to humble themselves as a reminder that there are higher sky above.
Long Yuan'an nodded silently. In his past life, he even lived inside a cubicle for some years. A thatched cottage is not a problem to him. You should be grateful that there was even a roof above your head. Besides, with his father's power, will he let his own family suffer?
The moment they entered the protective layer surrounding the mountain, Long Tianyue held his wife and son in his arms, and jumped down from the zeppelin! Then, the flying ship slowly shrunk down, until it was the size of a palm. Long Yuan'an was thoroughly speechless in shock.
They were like, 50,000 feet above ground, okay?! It's higher than riding a plane! Yet his father just jumped from the zeppelin like nothing was wrong and with no parachute at all. He could still feel his heart jumping "thumpthumpthumpthumpthump!" strongly in his chest from the scare. Just when he returned to his senses and wanted to glare at his father, he saw the man getting scolded by his wife.
....He forgot, his mother is a complete mortal. There's no way she can get used to people suddenly holding her to jump down from such high altitude with nothing to support her. Somehow, when he saw his father's pitiful appearance from getting scolded, he thought:
Deserve it! (*＾▽＾)b Mommy is the best~
Long Tianyue: .....I just want to look cool, but it backfired! Boo-hoo! （πーπ）
Huang Feiyun: Who told you to scare us mother and son! I am very angry!! ٩(๑`^´๑)۶
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
Your_Highness_Miya
Your_Highness_Miya Mama Yunyun is the strongest.
Mysterious Star Sect (玄星宗): The strongest sect in Xuanyuan Continent in terms of martial arts strength. A lot of genius cultivator came from this sect. Long Tianyue, Long Tianqiang, Huang Riguang are inner disciples. The sect focuses more on martial arts cultivation (e.g.: swords, archery, kung-fu, etc.), but has a special alchemy division headed by a quirky old man called Elder Bing.
