Chapter 9 - Promise

Dark green waves of rank 1 peak copper green primeval essence assaulted crystal wall unyielding in their pursuit, after achieving rank 1 peak stage Kira practiced his control over primeval essence quite frequently.

Afterall he came from world where getting magic power was rare but also source of constant suffering but it was no different than his early life so he did prayed for them….knowledge, fortunately he did not got more time in this foolish endeavour, being sold and treated like commodity he did not have the luxury to think about magic when next day meal had to be taken by tooth and nails.

Gu cultivation starts with awakening of aperture.

Gu master's cultivation speed and achievement generally depend on aptitude of gu master and how they utilize their primeval essence.

So to have proper control of one's primeval essence not only demands effort but to refine further it craves proper real life and death experience

With constant attacks on crystal wall, it gave in and with sound of breaking glass new light membrane emerged.

"Good, now focus on second step! Remember to refine oneself is essence of strength path."

In Kira's aperture black monarch butterfly engraved on Void heart seed gu starts to spread it's influence on golden rose.

Pitch black ink like liquid with smell of burnt flesh seeps out from every pores of his skin, a bitter cold sensation spread through his body from inside as if frozen to place but he felt no pain, his iris started to consume thick liquid until they become so bloated to the point of "pop" due to excess consumption, hot mush starts to seeps from them, carving Serpent with 12 heads on host's forehead which as if coming from deep sleep starts to mobilize liquid with it's each head constantly carving and polishing Kira's flesh.

At some point what is left him is his nervous system floating in suffocating prism of his own flesh.

But there is no pain only liberation from flesh from…..life

At this moment white monarch butterfly with disgust starts to counter black monarch and for the first time indifferent rose acts and within split second black monarch is sucked back into seed.

A beautiful warm and gentle blue light flashes on white monarch's wings and serpent dissolves,

Kira felt a pain so intense that can make old demon drown, but unable to scream since month has yet to form.

As the flesh formed much worse pain defying previous one assaulted Kira's mind.

No past and future only present is PAIN at crisp of sanity a memory flashed suppressing pain...

"So what you going to name her ?" A women in light yellow dress ask a man while caressing a baby in her arms.

"Hmmm, what about Aditi ?" Man preparing some kind of porridge spoke

"What does that even mean ? I will not save you from her when she grows up you know that right ?"

Both of them spent time exchanging names, laughing and finding comfort with eachother...

With that respite, even if intense pain remained Kira did not let it run loose and shifted his focus on shaping his body.

After half an hour letter a man with white skin

with touch of red sat in lotus position his raven black like hair now dropping to sholder length and his face now changed to suit his real face with eyes pitch black and a carving of red serpent on his left, near his heart gave him a dignified look.

After starting at each other both for five minutes,

"I think I somehow failed..."

"No my deductions were wrong you got a body to fit your essence with marking of serpent now sitting in submissive posture means you conquered your first tribulation"

"Hmmm, thank you master"

"HoHoHo, good now wear some clothes and after cleaning prepare my dinner, I want something sweet and refreshing ."

"As you wish master "

'She left.....That was liberating yet terrifying. This tattoo... Red Primordial, Serpentine Grandfather and now libration supreme I somehow understand them more. Still why she did not stop him even my ignorant mind can see his nature, master said her wisdom and knowledge surpassed 12 disciples of Enlightened One yet she can't see through? Or she did...'

'These stories are not ment for us 'humans' well now let's see how this body of mine acts!'
