Chapter 6


    How did he not recognized him at first sight?! The man, no the esteemed celestial in front of him, the one hailed as the Immortal mentor! Thousands of years ago, cmity befell the heavenly realm, as the heaven burned countless celestials and Immortals fell. To this day, records of the event are extremely rare, no one could say for sure what had caused the demise of the heavenly realm.


    Yet before that, in ancient times the earthly realm was once connected to the heavenly one. Immortals descended from the heavens to preach the Dao while aiding mortal cultivators, if an outstanding individual managed to catch the eye of a celestial, one might even be brought back with him to heaven! Yet amongst the hundreds of celestials that passed, only one name prevailed through the generations, even after the fall of heaven and the disappearance of the celestials, that particr name still held the respect and awe of all earthly cultivators.


    "The Immortal mentor..." Lightly muttered Bai Yu, his disciples standing next to him heard him before their eyes widened in shock! certainly, the young celestial in front of them was the exact spitting image of the famed mentor. How could they forget? with various statues erected in dedication towards the mentor all across the earthly realm, one could be considered strange if they had never heard of him.


    There was a reason behind this extreme poprity, and it''s quite simple. In ancient times, legend recounts the tale of the first human to ever ascend, his name long gone along the passage of time but his title remained, ''The Heavenly King'' following him countless heroes rose and ascended to the heavenly realm.


    Amongst the first ones to ascend was The Immortal mentor, while the others shocked with the abundant resources of heaven, all settled and created their respective heavenly sects, the mentor, however, continued touring the realm, visiting all sorts and matters of strange and exotic ces, all the while umting more knowledge, knowledge so precious that it was even highly sought after in the heavenly realm itself!


    Yet his journey did not stop there, as he descended back to the earthly realm, traveling from one ce to the other preaching the Dao. Countless individuals profited immensely from his teachings with most sessfully ascending themselves, he did not stay in one ce but constantly moved around spreading his teaching across the realm, earning the respect and gratitude of the masses.


    The Immortal mentor can be considered as the teacher of most cultivators across the earthly realm, his teachings persist thousands of yearster. So how could the trio recover from their shock so easily as they watched the seemingly young handsome young man seated on a golden throne?


    Thud


    The sound knees hitting the floor echoed through the silent throne room, the trio kowtowing to Omis who eyed them in curiosity.


    "Rise,"


    "We dare not, forgive us for we failed to recognize your esteemed self." Replied Bai Yu


    "You recognize me?" Asked Omis, raising his brow his curiosity ever so evident.


    "Of course! Who in the earthy realm have not heard of your esteemed self, The Immortal Mentor."


    Hearing his title, Omis''s perked as he slowly adjusted his sitting position. The Immortal mentor, that was indeed his title in the game, afterpleting a hidden quest that required him to teach a certain number of individuals, some in heaven others in the earth, he had earned his title. The only perk of the title was boosting his poprity, which effectively helped him recruit outstanding disciples when he settled to make his sect. And now looking at the figures kneeling towards him in respect, Omis''s mind spun quickly as he realized that things just got moreplicated.


    A gentle stream of pure holy mana surrounded the trio and gently helped them to their feet. The figure seating in front of them, was without a doubt the legendary Immortal mentor, just thinking about it filled them with an urge to kneel once again, yet they refrained from doing so as they silently stood there awaiting for Omis to speak.


    Bai Yu was standing a step ahead from Bai Xian and Bai Ju who stood to respectively to his left and right. Their minds filled with countless questions as their head was lowered to the ground in respect.


    Bai Yu, couldn''t believe his luck, he actually stumbled upon a living celestial! and not just any celestial, no the Immortal mentor! his heart filled with countless questions he wished to ask him, it has been far too long since he was stuck in the initial stages of the ascended realm. His usual calm demeanor was nowhere to be seen, as he struggled to control his breathing. ''This might be my chance! Perhaps I can finally break through the bottleneck with senior''s guidance!'' He then closed his eyes, calming his mind as he awaited for Omis to speak.


    "It has been far too long since I went into closed-door cultivation to break through a bottleneck, yet when I finally emerged I find heaven''s in ruins while monsters run amok...tell me what exactly happened in my absence?" Said Omis, his voice calm but filled with strength as he reached the end of his sentence an invisible aura descended on the group of master and disciples carrying his undisguised rage. They shivered under the pressure as their minds quickly spun, the person in front of them was without a doubt the legendary Immortal mentor, who was famed for hispassion towards other earthly cultivators as he slowly guided them along the path of cultivation, yet as the pressure bore upon them they finally came to a realization. The Immortal mentor was a true pure celestial, one that had existed long before they were even born, long before their ancestors, a legend that had survived the fall of heaven, and that legend was angry.


    "S-Senior, what had happened in the heavenly realm, is something no one could figure out for sure, yet hints at the cause remains. If senior would like to follow us back to our sect the patriarch would be more then d to share those with you as he is the most informed one." stuttered Bai Yu, beads of sweat slowly trickled down his forehead.


    "So be it, the earthly realm it''s been a while since Ist visited." lightly chuckled Omis, as the pressure that weighed on the trio slowly disappeared making them heave sighs of relief.
