Magic and Martial War God

'No, if I hadn't meet elder brother Rose would've died. I have no right to blame them. It was my fault for being with. My greed causes me to accept those treasures. In fact, with just Primal Chaos Celestial Dao Stone, I'd have caught up to them on my own.'

'But I just had to be greedy. Sometimes, I wonder do I really need anything else than Primal Chaos Celestial Dao Stone? So, why am I still hesitating? Why would I even need to hesitate now?' Suddenly, his mood began to brighten thinking.

'Yeah, from the start I never expected myself to have any treasures. Sulfur was enough blessing for me. I could've simply practice harder than usual.'

His smile bigger but it gets more helpless too. Finally, he released a long breath and took out the Book of Eight Extremes and Single Chaos. He walked near Xiao Zhen and asked "Uncle Xiao, can you release her?"

"Hmm?" Xiao Zhen was a little stunned by Johnny's words. At this moment, Yin Hao'er voice sounded from the book "Brother, could it be you no longer want me?"

When Yin Hao'er called him brother, it didn't like the title rather feels real. He had always suspected his relationship with her but he was still stunned after hearing her. But soon, his face reverted back to calmness as he shook his head and said "You are wrong, sister. It's not that I don't want you, I just want to keep some distance until I reach my goal."

"I can't change the past nor do I want to. If the elder brother hadn't arrived in time, Rose would've died. If you hadn't been there, I would've never found my goal much less achieve it. You always told me that I am naïve and believe others without hesitation."

"I thought I could follow your advice but it turns out there is something we can't change in an instant. I am naïve and I want to change. But that means I need to ruthless or cruel. I can change myself, I can become more refined but that takes time."

"I know I am being more of a coward but I can't help it. Rose loved me for what am I. And I don't want to make her feel that I've changed too much. I know I need change but I want her to accept that change. So, until I change myself I just want to hide."

For a second, everyone turned silent. Yeah, what he said was right. He was being a coward. That's not how a martial artist should behave because cultivation is a path against the laws of nature. Universe wants humans to die before the age of a hundred but we live. We live for hundreds and thousands of years.

That is cultivation. Growth is cultivation. Cultivation is the growth of our lifespan, courage, and strength. But there, Johnny was going opposite. He was hiding from the truth.

At this moment, the spiritual energy burst out of his right hand and mana burst out of his left hand. He bit his lips and said "I am not the martial artist that goes against Heaven. I am not the magician that is loved by Heaven. I am the existence that walks between these two, maintaining balancing of Love and Hatred."

"For my path, I don't need to maintain the courage to face. For my path, I don't to be arrogant just because I am loved by Heaven. All I need is what yearn for. A life filled with adventures and love."

"Haha! Johnny, you are amusing." Suddenly, Xiao Zhen laughed because what he saw in front of him wasn't Johnny but someone else. He puts his hand on Johnny's shoulder and said "Yes, live that life what you yearn for. You are bound by responsibilities. You are not bound by time, actually, you are but compared to the old man you have a lot of time."

"But Johnny, if you can't adapt to the situation, don't run away, let them adapt situation adapt to you. You don't need to give up this treasure."

Hearing Xiao Zhen's words, Johnny blinked and asked "Uncle Xiao, when did I say I'll give up this treasure?"

"Ehh!" Hearing his words, everyone became confused.

"So, why did you ask me to release her?" Xiao Zhen asked with confusion in his eyes. Currently, he was trying to read his mind so he didn't know what Johnny was thinking.

"Although I asked you to release, I never said I would give up this treasure. I might not use this treasure much often like I used to but this doesn't mean it is useless to me. After all, I have a sect. I just didn't want to be greedy like before and share the effect of this treasure to others."

"Of course, I would set up rules to pay contribution points to cultivate under its effect. So, there is no way I am giving up this treasure." Johnny shamelessly shook his head and answer. For a moment, it felt he hasn't changed even a bit.

But he has. His greed for treasures grew but this time, he wants to satisfy his greed with his own effort. So, Johnny looked at the Book of Eight Extremes and Single Chaos and said "Sister, what is our true relationship?"

Although he understood both of them had a brother-sister relationship, how did that relationship began? His elder brother never said he had an elder sister, and there is no way his brother would miss out on something important as this.

And why would his father lock up his sister inside the Book of Eight Extremes and Single Chaos?

"Once you reach the top of this universe, I'll tell you." Yin Hao'er voice was sour when she spoke. She desperately wanted to tell him but she knows the time hasn't come.

"Alright!" Johnny nodded his head and looked at Xiao Zhen. Xiao Zhen understood him and create a sword in the air. This sword was nothing special like his previous sword. It entered the book and for instance, a crack appeared outside the book.

The next moment, Yin Hao'er came out but as soon as she came out, she disappeared. Johnny watched it with a dumbfounded look. He glanced at Wan'er and asked, "Wasn't she supposed to be my sister?"

Wan'er smiled and leaned towards him. She patted Natasha's head and said "She is just like her. She can't be strong when it comes to her emotion."

Only then he remembered Natasha was still in his embrace. Then he summoned the Primal Chaos Celestial Bead and put her inside it. After all, holding her for too long would definitely enrage Rose. And Natasha was sleeping so soundly that he didn't dare to awaken her.

Then he kept the Book of Eight Extremes and Single Chaos inside the Primal Chaos Celestial Dao Stone.

"So, what do you think?" Xiao Zhen looked at Rose and asked.

"Do I have to restart everything from the beginning?" Rose gritted her teeth and asked.

"No, you don't have to. As I said, Kendo is the Supreme Sword, the origin of all swords. If you want to practice Kendo, you don't have to abandon others because they will eventually disappear. Your ruthless dao, your Time Dao, Dao of Space, Dao of Reality, everything will eventually vanish."

"The only thing that you are going to have would be Kendo. Of course, this doesn't mean your sword soul will also disappear. And if you keep walking in this path, you can give true life to your sword soul." Xiao Zhen tried his best to explain her clearly.

Because he felt she shouldn't give up on Kendo. And there was another reason why he said so. He wanted a challenge, a true fight between two Kendo cultivators. But would it be possible if there is only one Kendo?

That's why he was trying to convince her so that one day she can become his opponent. Because he was feeling bad. Why felt bad? Because nobody could kill him. Originally, the first people who arrived from the fifth dimension managed to hit him hard.

But still couldn't kill him.

"If I choose Kendo, can I complete that?" Originally, the method that created was her concern. Although she was weak and didn't have much understand, her creativeness was very powerful. If she can complete it, she can really escape from other's control.

"Of course, you can! In fact, if you don't practice Kendo, there is only forty percent chance for you to succeed." When Xiao Zhen said that, Rose's face froze.

'Forty percent! That's forty percent and you expect me not to get satisfied with it.' Although Rose scolded Xiao Zhen in her heart but suddenly turned silent when she heard his next words.

"If you practice Kendo, you have a hundred percent chance to succeed on both of them. Creativity is great. Humans grow because of their creativeness. But we must understand creativeness alone can't make you amazing."

"You need to have talent, resources, or right practice to complete that creativeness."

Rose remained silent for a moment. Until she finally gritted her teeth and said "Okay, I'll choose Kendo. But if I find you are trying to control me, I will immediately leave kendo."
