"Fruity, this is the Soul-Calming, Heart-Warming Sutra. Before you can learn any of the advanced techniques your uncle monks use, you first need to learn how to calm your heart and soul," a monk said, handing a stone tablet with intricate writings to Fruity.Fruity took the tablet and examined the writings. "The soul attunes with the stars, making the heart lighten and calm like the moon," he read aloud.The monk's eyes widened in surprise. "You... you can read this?" he asked, astonished."It's not that difficult, Uncle. No need to look so shocked," Fruity replied casually, his tone light."You," the monk started to say something but then stopped, unable to find the words."What next, Uncle?" Fruity asked with a small smile."Go to the Soul-Calming Tree and sit under it. Note my words, sit under, not on top. Focus on the Soul-Calming, Heart-Warming Sutra and start reciting it. Once you master it, I will take you to the Awakening Temple to awaken your spiritual Qi," the monk instructe

Fruity looked up at the figure descending from the sky, his eyes wide with wonder. "Immortal," he murmured.Aurelia, however, remained calm and composed. "That is actually a Saint," she said. Unlike Fruity, who spent most of his days eating and playing pranks on the monks, Aurelia seemed to know more about such matters.Fruity turned to her with curiosity. "What is a Saint?" he asked softly. He had read about immortals in the monastery's texts. The writings spoke of their ability to fly and move through the air, but he had never heard of a Saint before."A Saint is a cultivator with control over certain elements," Aurelia explained. "They have the ability to influence these elements in ways that let them defy some natural laws. For example, they can walk on air, fly, or travel long distances in mere seconds."Fruity's eyes sparkled with excitement. "So, which is more awesome, Saints or Immortals?" he asked with a grin.Aurelia looked puzzled by the term "awesome" but quickly understoo

"Sovereigns," Aurelia whispered, her eyes wide as she looked up at the seven figures that appeared through the crack in space. Each figure radiated an aura of grace and strength, their presence overwhelming and commanding.The moment they appeared, everyone in the crowd bowed deeply. Even the Saint, who usually stood tall and composed, lowered himself in respect."Greetings to the Seven Elders of Ten Thousand Lightning Valley. What brings you here today?" he asked, his voice steady but filled with underlying tension. Of course, he knew why they had come, but out of formality, he had to ask.The Seven Elders didn't respond. Instead, their eyes shifted toward Fruity, who still had his hand resting on the pillar. Their expressions remained unreadable, but the intensity of their gaze spoke volumes.At that very moment, the dark clouds above parted, and the light from the pillar began to fade. As the glow dimmed, Fruity opened his eyes, his appearance subtly different. His features had bec

From the crack in space, a breathtaking woman stepped out. Her alabaster skin seemed to glow, and her long blue hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall. Her slender legs and hourglass figure were highlighted by a stunning whitish-blue gown, with a thin layer of white fabric elegantly draped around her neck.Her blue eyes were captivating, and her lips—full and inviting—seemed to silently command attention. Even her chest area, which was perfectly proportioned, added to her overall grace and allure. Fruity, who was usually calm and composed, suddenly felt his heart racing uncontrollably, something he hadn't experienced before.'She's beautiful,' he thought, but on the outside, he kept his expression neutral, showing no hint of what was going through his mind."I believe 'no' means 'no,' Elders. Don't you agree?" the woman said as she descended gracefully from the heavens. Her voice was as icy as it was calming, an enchanting blend of authority and serenity.The moment her feet tou

Fruity and his Uncle Monk walked in silence toward the northern part of the monastery. This was where the training area was located—the most secure part of the monastery. The quiet between them felt heavy, each step filled with unspoken thoughts.As they reached the edge of the training grounds, Fruity couldn't hold back his worry any longer. "Uncle, do you think my presence here will put the monastery in danger?" He already knew the answer deep down, but he didn't want to admit it.Uncle Monk paused for a moment before replying, his voice calm but firm. "No, Fruity. You are part of this monastery. This is your home. No matter what happens, your uncles and everyone here will protect you. You just need to grow stronger and show the world you fear no one."Fruity nodded, though the knot in his stomach tightened. His uncle was trying to comfort him, but Fruity knew the truth. The monastery was on the brink of being dragged into something dangerous, all because of him."Thank you, Uncle,"
