3 The Mark

Zhu Long and Zhu Feng were sitting on a couch both looking bored out of their minds. It looked like they both were waiting for hours.

"How long does it take for the old man to come? He was looking for me but where is he himself?" said Zhu Long in an irritated manner.

"Kid you got some balls for calling me old." a voice came from the back. Both brothers at that moment were surprised. ' Zhu Long is done for' Zhu Feng laughed in his mind as he thought what elder Li would do to punish Zhu Long for calling him old.

"I still have more than a thousand years to live, I am still very young!" The man said. He was precisely Zhu Long and Zhu Yang's father, Zhu Li.

Zhu Li is at the Peak of 4th level Saint stage, just 1 level under the Patriarch. So he was a supreme elder of the clan, prestigious status not only in the clan but also in the country.

"Keep talking oldie, look even your head is balding, its starting to look like an egg" Zhu Long laughed as he looked at his father's head.

"Humph, Kid you still have that foul mouth of yours. It was a bad idea for letting father take care of you" Zhu Li said angrily. Even though at that moment he looked angry, he was very happy seeing his son, it had been years since he last saw his son

"Yang, thank you for bringing Long here, please leave me and Long alone for some moments, it is an important matter" Zhu Li said, he looked very serious at this moment so Zhu Yang bowed to Zhu Li and left without saying anything.

"Okay Long show me that mark on your chest." after hearing his father's order , Zhu Long took his robe as well as the white cloth covering his chest.The cloth uncovered a very strange looking marking on his chest.

The mark was red and in the shape of a dragon's head. There was also a powerful aura around the mark.

'It seems that the mark has gotten bigger and its aura has also gotten more powerful, I need to tell father about this' Zhu Li thoughtful as he observed the mark on his son's chest.

"Old man, I still don't understand why this mark is to be kept a secret from everyone but you and grandfather." Zhu Long said with a confused look on his face.

Ever since that day, his grandfather always examined the mark every month and saw that the mark was slowly taking form of a dragons head.

One day Zhu Yang gave Zhu Long a white cloth. Though it looked ordinary from the out, if one with keen eyes looked carefully, they could see some inscriptions on the cloth.

"Long, can you condense qi?" Zhu Li asked while ignoring his son's question."I still cannot condense qi no matter how much I try, i feel a strange force sucking all the qi when i try to condense it." Zhu Long answered. Even though he was bothered by his father not answering his question, he thought that when the time is right, he will get his answer.

"Don't worry, you will be able to condense qi soon enough. For now, visit your grandfather, I still have some things to do so I cannot come with you." Zhu Yi said and disappeared.

"I wonder when I become a Void stage martial artist, then i can finally fly" Zhu long thought as he headed towards the Zhu mountain.

The Zhu Mountain was among the largest mountains in the country. It is the cultivation place for all supreme elders of the clan including the Patriarch.

At the peak of the mountain, an old man with a long white beard and in a white robe was meditating. His robe was as white as the snow around him. He looked majestic and domineering.He was in fact Supreme Saint Zhu, the most powerful person in the empire.

"Grandfather!" When Zhu Long saw his grandfather, he was extremely happy and called him. Since Zhu Long was young, his grandfather always loved him regardless of he could cultivate or not. Zhu Yong had trained his grandson in the art of weapons due to this, Zhu Long knew how to skillfully use every weapon provided to him. Even though he couldn't cultivate, Zhu Long was still considered a genius on weapons. If he could cultivate, he would have already been a core disciple due to his amazing skills.

"Long, its been a while since you visited, why don't you visit me anymore? Am I too boring to talk to?" Zhu Yong said with a sad face. "I am sorry grandfather, i wanted to make you feel proud. So I thought that when i condense qi and break through to qi condensation stage, I would visit you but i still cannot cultivate" Zhu Long felt extremely glum.

"Kid don't worry, You will soon be able to cultivate, for now show me that mark" Zhu Yong said seriously. 'It seems like the reason that i cannot cultivate is linked to this mark, I hope grandfather can fix it.' Zhu Long was very happy hearing his grandfather's words.

As soon as Zhu Long took of the white cloth covering his chest, Zhu Yong's face instantly changed seeing the mark.
