Long ago, in ancient Mesopotamia, four jewels were guarded by four clans within a secretive sect collectively calling themselves the Ishamah--jewels of Earth, Water, Sky, and Wind. When joined as one upon an ancient altar within a hidden temple these elemental jewels are rumored to endow great mystical power and possibly even immortality itself upon the one who unites them; unleashing the true essence of their collective power through a magical tablet known as the tablet of destiny--which can bestow godlike power to the one who unites all four jewels, and utters the ancient spell written thereon to usher in a new Sar or age.
But the sages of old who harnessed this great power deemed it too volatile to be wielded by one person for fear that it would fall into the hands of a corrupted madman. This is why the jewels were kept hidden and secret, their unpredictable power guarded and kept separated by the four clans of the Ishamah for thousands of years--each jewel kept hidden by each clan. 
Within one of the clans, a young man named Kish-rin is coming of age. As a 20-year-old young man he is expected to tackle the responsibility of becoming a chief guardian over the Mu jewel, the jewel of Water and Life, which his clan guards. Meanwhile, it is discovered that there may be a traitor among them. It is up to the Ishamah to unite in order to unmask this traitor and their mad plot before it's too late.
It's mystery meets fantasy in this epic adventure!!!

Become the Strongest Master With a Genius Student by VheenaD

Long ago, there was a legend about a powerful cultivator from the Fallen Rainbow Kingdom. The cultivator raised seven disciples whose mere name alone was capable of shaking all realms. However, many experts who researched hundreds of thousands of years of history suspected the story to be a fabrication as no evidence of the person or his legacy was found. "Nonsense! How dare they say master story is just a legend!!!" "There's no way I'm going to accept what they're saying! If it wasn't for the fact that this planet is where the sect and master used to live, I would have destroyed them!" There was a shout in a simple food stall from a girl with no satisfaction. But strangely the scream did not disturb the other guests, as if the scream had not been heard by them. "S-students calm down, it's been too long anyway. With the short lifespan of humans, they must have just assumed it was a legend. Master is not offended." Replied a young girl who was sitting with the screaming girl. "No master! I can't just take their word for it! They have to know the true story master!"The girl continued in an angry tone and continued her endless rant. _______ Well, this story is about an ordinary man who became a woman (lost his balls) when he was transferred to the world of Xianxia. Because of his stupidity, he tricked people into becoming his apprentice just to make his life easier, but regretted it because he was afraid of being found out about his lie (because he was an ordinary man? who pretended to be a cultivator). Occasional weird wording and grammar, English isn't my first language. The book cover is from AI.
