Ancient Dream Collector - Chapter 5. Ancient Moon Town And Birth.
The Town of Ancient Moon, an ordinary little town located within the Fire Spirit kingdom, east to the Million Beast Mountain range, which directly cut through 5 other countries.
The sun is already set, as the night had gently took over its place.
The little town has started gaining its serenity, as citizens of this town are already back home from work, Markets are closed as roads made of white granite are gaining tranquility leaving only a slight coldness behind.
From time to time a Bell sound can be heard, which is from the light House placed on the left of sea-port near the sea, couple of miles north to the town, this bell sound in this silent light had another charm to it.
Even though this town can be called little but, its population is already more than 500,000 which can be compared to a small city, and is also increasing by the day.
Which shows the worth and prosperity of this town as people living in this town do not need to do extra struggle to earn, as shops and stalls in the market is usually filled with people, and merchants.
The name Ancient moon was given to in by the 1st king of this kingdom himself, defining the beauty and worth of this town.
Over the years of continuous development had made this town more beautiful as the cherry blossom trees and bamboos can be seen alongside the 50 feet wide road planted evenly, also adding the architectures of the beautiful buildings.
This little town is very famous for its, Sea Cuisines, Pearls, Moonstone production and Medicine, as these business are under the supervision three great clans which are, Huang, Xie, and Dong.
South to the Town, stands 12 mountains each with around thousand meter in height, in the night it looks like 12 silver swords pointing towards the havens standing straight giving of an imposing natural aura.
People call it 12 Sword Dao mountains, as cultivators cultivating in the way of swords travel here to gain insight.
These mountains are also the Home of the three Clans, which owns the mountains equally between then.
These clans have history over 1000 years as the ancestor of these clans are still living, which makes them around 1000 year old.
Usually people in this world normally live to 300 years, which also changes for the cultivators according to their cultivation level, so thousand years old is considered normal as people use to call these cultivators Old devils.
As the road leading to these Clans are made of the Blue Granite stones, which are cut evenly in rectangle shapes and placed accordingly along the road, these stones also shines in night giving it more beauty.
Usually at night there is no activity on these roads only guards can be seen patrolling time to time, but today is little different.
The path leading to the Huang clan is not as calm as others, as several Carriages Pulled by Giant Beasts which resembles Horse and Bull, can be seen travelling towards the Residence on the top of the mountain.
The residence is also not calm as servants are busy running around and Preparing for something, as a large group of people can be seen outside the Third Masters residence waiting for something patiently.
Third master can also be seen Pacing from left to right as a slight nervousness can be seen on his face.
All the people present there were watching each other’s faces as no one wants to start a conversation, suddenly rapid footsteps from outside can be heard as a servant ran inside.
“Th… thThird master, Patriarch of Nian clan and their second ancestor is here.” He informed after calming down a little as he also saw the faces of people gathered around and was little flustered.
Hearing this even Third master was shocked and rapidly went outside.
It only took him couple of seconds to reach outside as he saw couple of people walking inside, as an old man dressed in a white layered Hanfu with golden embroideries on the border, had an exited expression on his face, can be seen walking in front as a middle-aged couple followed behind him.
Seeing them he excitedly went forward to hug the Old man only to get knocked on the head.
“What do you think you are trying to do?” said the old man as his demeanor immediately changed from excitement to anger.
“AhFather-in-law, I was trying to welcome you with a hug.” Third master said in a slight crying tone with a sorrow expression of being abused.
Seeing this scene the old man’s expression changed into a more anger as his face distorted a little as if he had swallowed an insect.
He was about to lash out again, but stopped as he heard a footstep followed by a calm voice.
“Are you two done with your little skit, don’t you thing we have something more important to do.”
Turning behind to look they saw an old lady dressed in the same kind of attire made for women, as the old man.
Seeing her Old man’s expression of anger vanished as he remembered something more important.
He didn’t even wait for her as he directly left inside towards third master’s residence.
Watching this scene the middle-aged couple laughed and the old lady sighed, as hey all followed behind him.
When they reached in front of the room they all saw, a large group of people as they were currently watching towards 2 old men pacing from left to right as if competing against each other.
As they moved further and reached there an old lady came forward to welcome them.
“Big Sister you are here, I was waiting for you guys to come.” She said towards the old lady welcoming them.
‘Sigh’
“It’s our luck to reach here safely following that old man.” Said the big old lady sighing twice watching towards the 2 old men.
These two old ladies are sisters as the big sister was married into the Nian clan and Little sister was married in Huang clan.
Their names are Hua Rumei and Hua Rulin.
Hua Rulin is also the mother of Third Master as she had 4 children, three were Boy and a girl.
As they were walking side by side they froze on the spot and the same happened to the old men and others, as they heard a faint crying sound of a child from inside the room.
There expression went from shock to excitement as they waited for the gate to open, Third master was even trembling slightly due to the happiness that voice gave him.
‘Chirr’
The gate opened slowly after some time and a Young lady in white came out with a smiling expression.
“Congratulation Brother, it’s a Boy, you became a father.” She said towards the Third master who hearing after this ran inside leaving every one behind, even the 2 old men who were standing beside the door as they were still shocked by the news.
“Ha-Ha, I became a grandfather.” Laughed the second old men soon after hearing the news.
“You two Old man wait outside, and don’t follow inside.” Said the Big old lady while glaring towards the two old men.
After hearing the voice both of the old men halted there steps, and patiently stand to the side not daring to move in.
Both old ladies and the lady with the middle-aged men went inside.
When they entered the room which was now filled with several ladies, they saw the third master sitting and watching the baby in his wife’s arm who is holding the baby gently with a little smiling expression, watching the baby sleeping and her husband’s amazed expression.
As they saw him looking towards the baby with such socked expression, they moved near to see, only to get shocked them self.
The little new born child was sleeping in the arm of his mother, as his face was smiling peacefully and he looked so cute that they even forgot to breathe for a second.
Watching the old ladies come inside, the lady on the bed looked towards them and smiled.
And moved the little baby towards them to look, but third master was already out of shock as he moved his trembling hands forward to hold the baby.
Seeing this the lady gently passed the baby to him.
As everyone present in the room saw his expression from the start they can’t help but smile at it.
Holding the baby while sitting on the bed, his mind went blank as he only watched the baby as his energy started rising slowly but nothing happened to the baby and the people present inside the room.
But they were shocked seeing this as he started glowing slowly with the baby, like the same time in the jungle but this time it was little different as the glow was not that intense.
Feeling the rising energy fluctuations Both Old men ran inside and saw what was happening as they indicated towards the people to wait outside and not follow them in.
They waited for couple of minutes as the glow also stopped slowly.
“What was that?” ask the young lady who had opened the door previously.
“Nothing to worry about he just Breakthrough Profound Xiantian realm.” Said one of the old men towards the lady and towards the people to not to worry.
But after some time both of them were shocked, how can he breakthrough the Profound realm so easily, it took then 50 years to get the enlightenment and break through the profound realm and this man in front of them still in this Mid-thirties already breakthrough this realm this easily.
All the people who heard this were shocked and thinking the same thing as they watched towards the Third master Huang.
Both Old men after some time looked towards their wife and said in sync.
“I think I also want to become the father again.”
