The Legend of Blackpearl [On Hold]

01. The Beginning

Thousand years of story,

It all started a thousand years ago in the realm of heaven where they were torn asunder. Thunder roared the entire sky, the dazzling light flashed all over the heaven. River of blood stained the land of heaven, silence marked the end of the war. With the silence, the defeat of the hell marked the entire realm. The legendary Blackpearl which is the source of unparalleled power was again confined under the guardianship of the dragon Kaida, whose scales weighten with endless battle for power. The demon empire was confined in the darkness, the threat to the Blackpearl was destroyed .

The secrets of the war and the mystery about where the demons were confined is still unknown to all the masters of the realm. There are only few skilled Immortal Masters in the mortal realm, in which their only role was to protect the mortals.

Most known thing was that the Immortal Masters parted their way and few masters stayed on one side and few stayed on the other side of the mortal realm to protect the innocents from future threats.

In which the valleys were separated and each held individual skill and power. The first known Valley is Mount Xue, which is regarded as the head of all the other 3 valleys whose sect leader is Min Sheng.

The other three Valleys, namely Mount Lin, Mount Feng and Huizhong Pavillion. Each has their sect leader and sect people where different types of skills are trained.

In Mount Xue

" Cheng Shixiong (Senior brother) , have you heard that the Competition date is in three months. Is it true? ". Xiaoping, a young warrior wearing a blue robe over a white hanfu, questioned his senior.

" It is indeed true Xiaoping. I don't know why master is hurrying the event, it should be after the great cold and the important thing is master Min decided it by himself. No other immortal master knows it." Cheng said with a sigh.

" Shixiong but soon everyone will be knowing right. Because this competition holds the reputation of all the valleys and their sects". His voice was faint but still it was clear for Cheng to hear him.

As they both hurried down the Mountain, a young warrior the same as their age , clad in a sleek black hanfu, dark fabric flowed around her with silent grace, contrasting sharply with the cold gleam of her silver sword, which hung poised at her side. Her demeanor was as unyielding as the blade she carried,  came towards the other two disciples.

Not noticing the person, Xiaoping started his words " But it seems suspicious.." not able to complete his sentence " Shixiong, someone is coming ".

Being nervous, they both lowered their heads, not seeing the person and started walking. " Stop there ". Bold yet elegant voice stopped them in their path.

" I have heard it all. " Familiar voice for both, lifting their heads. They were relieved to have noticed their Head disciple Fei Hong.

" Fei Fei so it is you. '' Xiaoping said and both bowed down to Fei Hong.

" No need for these formalities when we are outside the valley and Xiaoping, luckily for me you both have escaped. Don't open your mouth for uttering these ignorant words. If someone hears this they won't mind giving a punishment. I will take my leave then. " Fei Hong warned them and left the place and started walking further.

" So Cold. " Shaking his head back and forth, Cheng signed Xiaoping to walk further and they left the place to reach the mortal land.

In Rally of Mount Xue

All the elders, Officials and Young Master Min Qiao of Mount Xue including Head Disciple Fei Hong were present there, waiting for their master Min Sheng in the Rally.

" It seems that again the most favoured disciple got into trouble, that master has hurried us here. '' Min Qiao provoked Fei Hong in front of all the elders.

" Young Master, it doesn't mean only I can only create troubles in the valley, there are few other people who use their master's power to perform annoying work. " Fei Hong modestly bowed, eyeing the attendant of Min Qiao.

" You!.."

" Master has arrived! " The guard voiced out, as all the people present in the Rally kneeled down and bowed to master Min Sheng. He was wearing a dark blue robe over a pale white hanfu.

" Greetings Master Min. '' Voicing together, they stood after the arrival.

" Father " Min Qiao joined his hands and greeted his father.

" Master Min, what is so serious that you have to demand the presence of all of us? " Elder Zhou, with a tone of questioning, enquired Min Sheng. Out of all the Elders and Officials, Elder Zhou was the most respected one.

Min Sheng with a grin, responded " It seems that you are really curious about the matter. "

" I heard that the matter is about the Competition. So of course it is serious." Elder Zhou responded.

" The thing.... is I have decided to make the Competition before the great cold ". Min Sheng told with a slight sigh.

He knows the future reflection of his words would be good but still the words would shake the elders and Officials present there.

" Master Min, have you decided it all by yourself? How it is possible, with the presence of all the Mount leaders and elders this decision should be taken." Elder Zhou seemed to be in rage with the thing he just heard.

" Right, it is right. What elder Zhou said was absolutely right ". All the other Officials and elders started gossiping about the matter.

" I have decided, Fei Hong and Min Qiao will be informing all the other Mount leaders. All are dismissed." Min Sheng raised his voice to make the elders and Officials hear him.

The Elders and Officials except Elder Zhou made their way of the Rally. The face were filled with a expression of disappointment at the same time few faces were filled with a smrik.

" Elder Zhou, I will meet you in the chamber of reflection ". Min Sheng informed and Elder Zhou left the Rally face filled with anger.

Turning towards both the disciples who were listening to the matter in silence." Fei Hong and Min Qiao, try to persuade them if they are questioning about it. Now leave. "

" Yes. " Bowing to Min Sheng, both the disciples went out of the Rally.

Min Sheng sighed, and made his way out of the Rally to meet Elder Zhou in the Chamber of Reflection.

" How can I tell him, that this matter holds the future and lives of all the three realms ".
