Chapter 1 Amaterasu
There are countless chaotic forces scattered between heaven and earth, their shapes are invisible and their sounds are inaudible.
They are like fragments, of varying sizes and strengths. They usually exist quietly among all things, or they float in and out of the wind between heaven and earth, entering and leaving the breath of creatures, and flying under the steps of people.
However, some fragments will be retained in the organism for some reason.
On a thunderstorm night, a chaotic force driven by the strong wind was originally flying with the flow, but suddenly hit the wound on the abdomen of a female swordsman.
The injury was a knife wound. The female swordsman had long hair and was scattered. She barely attacked and stabbed the enemy to death. Looking at the wound on her raised abdomen, she was shocked and took out the baby inside by herself...
The female swordsman and the child survived, and the child was named Li Tianzhao.
When talking about his birth, the female swordsman always adds a sentence: "Amura, you are the one who is favored by fate. That night, my mother was almost dead and still alive. The thunder in the sky kept ringing, and lightning flashed one after another, so I could only see the person who was attacking... Others said that when she was born, the strange phenomenon of heaven and earth was a person with the power of powerful chaos fragments!"
Of course, Li Tianzhao would not have thought of how many people were born that day, so she believed in her mother's words.
"Don't just talk and keep practicing!" Li Tianzhao's father rarely smiled, always had a serious face, and returned to his position with many ropes hanging with stones. When the five-year-old Li Tianzhao rushed with the wooden sword, he loosened his hands and swung the stones one by one.
Some were blocked by Li Tianzhao, and more were hit on his head, face, and body.
Seeing Li Tianzhao's tears rolling in pain, his father's eyes sank and was very unhappy.
His mother gritted her teeth secretly. Although she felt distressed, she knew that the world was like this. She would not shed blood and cry when she was young, but would die when she was young. So she listened silently to her husband scolding, "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up! If it is an enemy's weapon, will it still hurt if it hits? Every training is absolutely nervous!"
Li Tianzhao gritted her teeth and endured the pain. The tears that couldn't help but burst into tears in her eyes did not flow out in the end.
It took him a long time to meet his parents. When he gets along, he is a very harsh training, but he doesn't feel wronged, but he just puts his heart into it and tries his best to do his best.
He cherished these precious time together, but he did not have much chance to meet his mother. Li Tianzhao's parents, as the in-house soldiers to whom King Xuantian Wu, always fought outside, and had little time to come back.
I came back this time and I set off together in just two days.
Before leaving, Li Tianzhao was held in his mother's arms, and tears were rolling in both of them. When Li's father urged him for the third time, Li's mother suddenly put Li Tianzhao down, suddenly pulled out the long sword, and looked extremely serious in front of the sword. She made a sword sworn: "When you predict your fate at the age of twelve, our achievements will definitely be sent to the city's self-cultivation hall!"
"Yeah!" Li Tianzhao didn't know what it meant to enter the city, but she believed her mother's promise and knew that what she said to Jian was a sword oath and must not be violated.
There are many self-cultivation halls in the city where they can learn skills, but Li Tianzhao's parents' achievements still do not meet the standards, so he has always learned skills with the captain of Wangtian Village.
There are only more than 30 households in Wangtian Village. On weekdays, the captain arranges work on the day, either hunting, cutting wood, collecting herbs, and mining. After the work is done, the remaining time will be free to be controlled. The captain will lead the training together for half an hour, and then let himself practice. As for whether he practices seriously, the captain will ignore it.
The younger children are still serious and practice until they have supper most of the time. Li Tianzhao is very diligent. After finishing the meal in a hurry, he takes his sword out again. When the child next to him sees it, he talks: "Li Tianzhao is really not afraid of being tired. He practices until midnight every day. How can he see the darkness?"
"Let's practice with slap?" Another child looked at the best-looking girl in the village who was still eating, and always felt that her whispering part was particularly attractive, so he absent-mindedly replied casually.
"I heard from the captain that Li Tianzhao's parents are Tian-level swordsmen among the ten generals. If they were less injured, they would have been a general of war long ago. As a seed of life-threatening mandarin ducks, he must of course work harder than us." The child who spoke always envied Li Tianzhao for having a powerful parent.
He is actually not the only one who envys. In Wangtian Village, Li Tianzhao gets the most meat every time.
Because merit almost determines everything, and before becoming a minor, Li Tianzhao's material distribution standards depend on his parents' merits.
Everyone said that Li Tianzhao's parents were capable soldiers. This pressure prompted him to feel that he had to work harder and harder to be worthy of his parents' expectations and not let down the power of the chaos fragments he had.
Although, until he was twelve, he did not find any special power.
But Li Tianzhao never dared to relax. Even on a moonlit night, he practiced swords in the woods outside the village. His parents said that they could not remember the environment, otherwise the value of cultivation would be reduced.
At first, because he couldn't see it, he suddenly slipped while walking, shook his waist, and even fell down and hit the tree. Later, he could know the location of the tree with the sound of breaking through the air with the sound of waving his sword.
Li Tianzhao finished practicing the skills taught by the village captain very early. Every time his parents came back and taught him how to practice, he would do it. Some people in the village were curious and practiced the same as him, but they retreated after a few days.
What everyone wants to learn is the "special skills" that can be easily practiced, but what Li Tianzhao's parents teach is only the exercise method, which is much harder than the village captain asked for.
They practice until supper time every day, and they are already very tired and have to continue to torture themselves in the dark. They cannot have the experience of becoming stronger every day, and they really lack the motivation to persevere.
Li Tianzhao didn't dare to stop. Even though the most beautiful girl in the village invited him out for a walk several times during dinner, he always said seriously: "You have to practice after dinner."
The three older people who were having dinner at the same table heard it, one was stunned, and the other quickly turned his eyes and hugged it to remind him.
But, it's useless.
Finally, the one who saw Li Tianzhao was so unintentional, so he recommended that he was willing. Unfortunately, the girl pouted and said directly: "Who wants to go with you!"
The girl was not angry when she was rejected. She would come to invite her again in a few days, which made the other three envious, lamented that her fate was unfair, and blamed Li Tianzhao for not knowing how good a woman was.
But in fact, Li Tianzhao has grown very tall and likes the beauty of the girl. However, when he thinks of his parents' expectations and the appointment of twelve years old, he dare not relax.
His parents were trying their best, and he felt that he had to give his all.
On his twelfth birthday, Li Tianzhao's parents came back. His mother had a wound on his arm, which was wrapped around a cloth, and there were black herbs inside. Although he could not see the wound, Li Tianzhao did not see his mother touching the arm, so he knew that it was not a minor injury.
"Mom, I heard that if I don't go to the city, I can be a non-staff soldier if I am twelve years old..." Before Li Tianzhao finished speaking, he saw his mother's face darkening and scolded him sternly: "Shut up!"
She was so excited that she pulled the wound on her arm, her face twitched involuntarily, and his mother said angrily: "Who taught you how to think!"
Li Tianzhao didn't expect her mother to react so much. She lowered her head and explained in shame: "Don't be angry, I just don't want her to work hard."
Li Tianzhao's mother's anger suddenly disappeared, and she was in a state of excitement and could not speak.
Li's father taught a serious tone: "What you say to the sword is the sword oath! Whether you intentionally or unintentionally, the sword will remember it. The 'war seal' in the sword is the power given by the great Martial King, and our honor is all in it. Violating the sword oath is a blasphemy to the great Xuantian Martial King!"
Li Tianzhao's mother still remembers Li Tianzhao's birthday. They saved everything and were injured and were reluctant to spend their merits to go to the city clinic for treatment. However, she exchanged her merits for the expensive Chaos Fruit. She wanted to celebrate her child's birthday. If she didn't want to say anything to scold her, she said: "Remember your father's words and said to the sword, that's a vow. Okay, eat this Chaos Fruit, it can strengthen the body and activate the power of Chaos Fragments in your body to appear faster."
Li Tianzhao found that there was only one, and he heard that it was very good. He wanted to eat it with his parents, but when he saw his father's brows sank. He clearly didn't want him to talk too much, so he obediently ate the fruit under their gaze.
"How is it?" Li's father showed a look of ardent expectation.
"What's the difference in the body?" Li's mother also looked expectant. Li Tianzhao felt very energetic. She seemed to have lost her fatigue during the day, and said truthfully: "I have endless energy in my body!"
Li's father was very disappointed. Although Li's mother was disappointed, she still said happily: "Don't worry, many of the power of chaos fragments are revealed late."
Li's father wanted to speak but stopped, but he was actually not as confident as his wife.
When Li's mother left, she said that it would be one month at a time and three months at a time, and she would definitely send him into the city.
Li Tianzhao counted the days as she was looking forward to. When she practiced until midnight, she felt that the time for her parents to come back was closer.
One day a month later, many voices in the village suddenly shouted Li Tianzhao's name. As soon as he put down his axe, someone ran over with a frightened look. When he saw him, he said, "Hurry, go and see your mother, the last time!"
The last side...
In Li Tianzhao's memory, his mother has always been beautiful, heroic, sharp eyes, and very compatible with her father.
He could not believe that the person who was being carried at this moment was covered in blood, and several wounds on his face were opened, so that the person who was beyond recognition turned out to be his mother!
A group of soldiers stood there silently, with dry blood on their bodies and dusty faces, obviously not resting along the way.
Li Tianzhao's father saw him standing there and shouted: "Come here!"
Li Tianzhao came to his senses in shock, but looked at his mother's appearance and dared not touch her. She just felt that her mother would definitely feel very painful when she touched her.
But unexpectedly, when I saw my mother who was so angry that she had some strength, she suddenly grabbed him, pulled him hard, and tried her best to approach him and said, "The curved sword-making route can be faster than the straight one! Remember, remember-"
After Li's mother finished speaking, it seemed as if all the remaining power was exhausted. She grabbed Li Tianzhao's hand, as if she was afraid that she would scratch him, and suddenly shedded her strength and she drooped.
"Mom, mom, mom! Mom! Mom! Mom, wake up, wake up - Mom, you won't die, you are fighting for life! Mom..." Li Tianzhao cried alone and shouted.
His father's eyes were filled with grief, but he did not cry. It suddenly started to rain heavily again in the sky, so no one knew whether he had shed tears.
