Heavenly Opposers

Afterward, Xiao didn't spend much time-wasting around, he spent the next hour getting accustomed to his powers, the path of the soul, spiritual, and mind has different cultivation techniques, and the ones for the soul and the mind are extremely rare, it would take some time for him to currently use these paths

Moreover, he can't do it alone, he needs a master, someone that can guide him in his path, just knowing about all these doesn't make him a master, there's a lot in the paths he chooses and he needs a mentor to guide him in the current path, otherwise, he would just be an idiot walking blind

'Umm, there's a few I can think of but becoming their disciples is not going to be easy at all'

Xiao sighed, in the future, there's a lot to do but even though the path might be difficult but the returns would be enormous, with that he finally did some last-minute plan changes and stood up, it was time for him to head out and meet the crowd that was standing out

He already had plans to hide his sudden changes, even if his outward look could be explained with a mutation of cultivation, the appearance of a spiritual core won't be taken lightly he knows that he would be scanned upside down once he leaves and the existence of the spiritual core must be hidden

And it would be with the opening of his mind realm, it would be easy to mask the presence of the spiritual core, of course, it won't be possible if he starts cultivating the spiritual core but as long as that doesn't happen, he would be easily able to mask the core's presence with a light tinkering from his mind realm

With that it won't be a problem, since the ones in the lowest heavens won't be able to tell about the mind realm and soul since they have never experienced it but the hiding won't last for long, as he would definitely one day have to tread on the path of the World Spirit master and for that he would need 'that' item

It's the only thing that would be able to hide him from even the gods and immortals of the fourth heaven, in normal circumstances it would not be possible since that 'thing' is a huge ego but with his plan, it might work

Nodding to himself for the last time Xiao stood up from where he sat as he walked towards the door that blocks the outside from entering in, commanding to deactivate the formation, the room started shaking as the huge closed door opened and as soon as he did, a figure rushed towards the inside

Feeling the familiar presence he didn't dodge and within seconds he was within the embrace of a familiar presence, he could feel his mother hugging him tightly in relief, raising his head he could see that his always well dressed and arranged mother was in a mess

Her always immaculately arranged hair was in a mess, while her face resembled to be tired, which pointed out to the fact that she was really worried, then how else would a cultivator get tired from just maybe 10 or 9 hours of waiting?

Seeing this his heart warmed, across the entire cosmos, it was his mother that would always be worried for him, smiling brightly for the first time he slowly wiped away the tears that had accumulated within her eyes, he spoke with a teasing voice

"What is it mother?, were you really worried? and here I thought that you were possessed by a ghost after looking at you"

Seeing her son make fun of her, Yun Lan slowly fixed her mess, as she wiped some of the happy tears that had left her eyes, she put on an angry face as she caught Xiao's cheeks and started pinching them with some force

"Ow..ow...ow...mothwer stoppppp"

Feeling his cheeks being pinched Xiao called out in surrender but his mother didn't relent, as she twisted his cheeks with a pull

"Humph, this is your punishment for making your mother worried!"

Yun Lan now spoke with a teasing smile, seeing it Xiao showed a grieving look, as he clutched both his cheeks with a pained look, seeing it Yun Lan chuckled as she laid a kiss on his forehead, she smiled reviled as she spoke

"I am happy to see your safe son"

Yun Lan's eyes became soft as she slowly started patting Xiao's cheeks with a smile and a touch of pride in her eyes

"Xiao, if you are unwilling at your talent, just tell me you don't have to always risk your life, it doesn't matter if I have to drain my entire fortune dry, I will definitely get what you want"

Yun Lan spoke with an indulging smile, hearing it Xiao smiled back at her, he held the hands that was stroking his cheeks as he gave his mother a happy smile

"I know mother, I know how much you love me but you know better than I do that only power truly matters in this cruel world, I also know how much you also want to get stronger and I will do it mother, I will definitely make your dreams come true mother"

Yun Lan's face opened wide in surprise, she didn't know how her child could know or tell all these, moreover, his words seemed to have some sort of wisdom that a child should not possess but she didn't care, just the fact that he said these words was enough to warm her heart, with a prideful smirk she ruffled Xiao's hair

"Auu~~~look at you, you are growing so fast, your mothers afraid that you would fly from my wings fast"

"Hehehe...it doesn't matter mother because, in the end, my home will always be with you mother"

"Awww~~~my sons the best!"

Unable to hold back, Yun Lan pulled Xiao into a big hug that started to suffocate him, it took a few seconds of tapping from him, for his mother to finally let him go, taking deep breaths to fill his lungs Xiao looked towards the new person who entered, it was Xuanyin

The years have not changed much in her, she grew tall in height while little of her chubby cheeks seemed to recede, her silver hair that was a bob now extended to her waist, her blue eyes matching her silver eyebrows was perfect, even though just 7 years old, she seemed to exude a sense of coldness from her

Her shivering had increased over the years, causing a great change in her temperament, moreover, her intelligence seem to increase at a frightening pace, Xiao could see that she was able to pick in some things that would even be missed by adults, by growing up and seeing the cruelty of the world there seems to be a change in her

In the Yun family she even earned the nickname the cold Phoenix, her beauty, grace and temperament completely exceeds her age, in fact, both Xiao and his sister are the weird duos of the family, Xuanyun entered the room, and seeing her brother her eyes remained the same....cold but if one looked deeply one could see waves of relief dancing within them

Do not look down on her for her cold front, she might not show much outside but on the inside her feelings are double what one could imagine, perhaps more than one can even think
