Lord Shadow

The cold wind has lessened as the chirping of the birds of spring could be heard crying out in this small world of the Mortal realm in the Three Thousand Worlds.

Winter is ending and spring is coming. In the large city near the Five Element Mountain, people are coming out and celebrate the New Year with sounds of firecracker.

Some burn incense for their ancestors and their Gods.

Prosperity seems to be everlasting yet to those who sees the dark storm in the distance, they know it is only ephemeral and very fragile

In the martial arts world right now, there is a storm approaching it.

A storm that will involve the Imperial power, the freedom of those martial artist that seek their path of martial arts, and even long lost arts of immortality.

And this foreordained fate will start on the top of the Five Element Mountain. It will affect the lives of many and open the Sealed World.

Azief himself did not know that he is about to start something that would affect his own Fate and Destiny in a big way in this sealed world

There are of course some people who could foresee the effect of Azief arrival on that world.

There are the three gazes of three of the most mysterious beings in the Omniverse looking intently at this world and they are many other beings paying attention to it.

The Jade Emperor did not yet have to slumber so every day after his court session he would turn into his Soul form and check the Thirteen Steps like he is trying to remember something

The world that Azief found himself crashing into was not an ordinary world of the Mortal Realm of the Three Thousand Worlds.

Azief had never saw this world from above so he could not see how weird this world he is in.

Since he could not really fly like he used to, and he could not use his Divine Sense to check the state of this world, he did not see it

But those that is outside the world could see it.

It is a Sealed World. If he could see the planet from space, he would see there is golden character that floated above its stratosphere.

Only one with the powers to bend and alter Laws could see the golden characters. The golden colors and the characters come from the Laws of the Universe.

There is also symbols that is emanating divine presence swirling and rotating around this world like a barrier.

Or…maybe instead of a barrier, it is a cage. And then there is that illusory golden palm that covered the Heavens and this planet.

This palm is translucent but one could not help but be awed by its aura of life coming out of it. A world in a Palm

Whoever left this illusory palm is clearly a mighty figure of the Universe

This palm covers the planet but this palm has a flaw. There is a hole in the middle of the palm like it was being pierced by something.

And the most curious thing, covering the hole on the middle of the palm is a large reddish golden lotus. Each petal of these lotus seems to have the power to contain a world inside it.

There is a Golden Monk sitting on top of that lotus. Sutra-like song could be heard chanted from his being.

His mouth did not move but it was like the echoes of his heart echoing in the dark space, sealing the hole.

Like Azief had predicted there is a secret about this world.

That hole in the middle of that golden palm is also suspicious. There is a trace of divine power and at the same time there is a trace of Azief that is around it.

The Golden Monk has always fulfilled his duties and he had always remained stoic and did not move whatever that is inflicted upon him.

But five years ago, a pig riding a Star Matter Clouds attack him with a Nine Toothed Rake

Of course when that pig came, he was not in the form of a pig. The Pig come in the appearance of a beautiful man wearing a blue robe, looking elegant and graceful

He demanded that the Monk make way because fate and destiny is coming. The Golden Monk did not understand so he refuses to move.

They then fought each other as the golden characters glowed, preventing their battle from affecting the Sealed World.

When the Golden Monk uses the beads gifted to him, the light of the beads exploded into a light of divine revealing.

It reveals the true face of the young handsome person. The person looks like a terrible monster, part human and part pig.

The Golden Monk immediately recognize who this pig is and he was even more adamant not letting him move him from the spot.

Because this pig is none other than the famous junior brother of that Monkey.

The Golden Monk was formed from the lingering will of that existence that comprehend Oneness with all Things and achieved Nirvana.

This lingering will was sent to Jade Empire to help the Jade Emperor.

The hole on the middle of that palm was made when that Monkey ascended to the Heavenly Court.

He brought the Enlightened Monk with him, piercing the Palm of the Enlightened One with his Heavenly Golden Banded Staff.

He said he was preparing something as he makes that hole when the Jade Emperor demands and explanation.

The pig while he no longer travels with his Senior Brother, he is still an official of the Heavenly Court.

Thus he still has some influence. And he still retains his old weapon. he uses the divine weapon, the Nine Toothed Rake to contend with the Golden Monk

That Nine Toothed rake is not some normal rake mortal used to sweep leaves on their courtyard.

It was refined from divine ice iron and was polished until it gleamed dazzling white.

The hammer that struck the rake was forged from the Laws of the Universe itself and the fire that is used to tempered the weapon is fed with anti-matter energy.

Countless of powerful people used their minds to craft the weapon and they made nine teeth of jade and cast a pair of golden rings to hanged beneath them.

Decorating the body of the rake is the Six Bright Shiners and the Five Planets, and designed it to fate and destiny accordance. The length of top and bottom match the Heaven and Earth

It has another name. it is also called the Supreme Gold-Imbued Rake. Their fight was not easy and it even forced the Golden Monk to stand up from the floating lotus.

When Marshal Canopy raise the rake, fire and light stream forth from the sun and when he lowers it stars and planets charged towards him

It forms changes into anything that the owner wanted and leaps whenever he chanted the spells of the rake.

As their battle continued, the lotus sway and move away from the hole. As The Golden Monk were too engrossed in fighting, something passes him by.

There was a person swirling with powers of sealing and laws pass through him and was sucked into that hole and arrived in the Sealed World of the Three Thousand World.

When that person passes through, the pig immediately retreated and laughed and said something about all debts has been repaid

Since then, the Golden Monk become even more vigilant as he sits upon his lotus and not letting anyone pass through the hole again.

A few time before he even felt gazes from others dimension looking through the barrier and look at this world.

The Golden Monk job is to guard and so he guarded the hole without ever questioning the changes of the world.
