After a few minutes of pleasantries, the families congratulated the couple and handed over some trinkets and congratulatory gifts to them and after an afternoon of gathering during which the kids of all families were tired.
Though it may seem like Leo also slept but actually, he had Dream check surrounding territory of his family to check if somehow he can benefit the family without anyone noticing even with time reversal.
And as soon as a path in time came into being, Leo informed Dream and she then checked the possibility of the plan and complied with the request of her master 'Leo'.
[A few years ago]
Stone was the 5th child of the 7 siblings, in a household of 9to 10 people of a farming family. To get his own life as there was not enough farm to go around and to avoid fighting his siblings for land ownership decided to journey to the nearest city in hopes of finding an opportunity at the young age of 15. As a villager, he knew there would be some hardship in his path to find a stable footing in the city. He had heard all of this from the village elders so he was prepared for the hardship coming his way.
After the journey of a week from the village to the city, he finally reached the East-thunder city, after listening to the gossip of the fellow traveler he found that East-thunder city was under control of Lin Clan. This clan had a total of five commandery city near the provincial capital of Shadowhill city. The cities under the Lin clan were east-thunder, west-thunder,south-thunder,north-thunder and the Thunder-fall city which was the main clan city of this clan.
Luckily for Stone East-thunder city was currently recruiting for soldiers for the city guards. After entering the city with the caravan he directly made his way toward the military barracks to join the recruitment of the city. Now standing in the middle of a large crowd he made his way towards the front table where many youths from the surrounding villages came to join the guards to earn a living now the were at least thousands of people trying for a spot on city guard, the first they selected all able-bodied youths below 16, this gave Stone a Hope and he was among the youngest group to be recruited in the city guards training. It was told to them that those who quiet will have to pay a fine as he did not have much money he never had the option of quitting. The training started the next morning though recruitment was still going on for next week, it was hard training for Stone as he had never wielded a weapon other than a wooden club to scare the stray animals away from the farmland. The spear training, military drills and other forms of training continued, as it was free food and bed Stone did it without any complaints. This training went on for 8 months and then they started their job as city patrol as one of the young and promising people the were given better training techniques at Xiantian level qi cultivation skill as other only got Houtian level technique.
As Stone completed his 16 years of life and spent his first year of city life he heard the devastating news of his village facing a monster tide of the Xiantian level. he was completely saddened by the news as a total of 12 villages were among the count of complete annihilation. Though more than 90% of villages were saved as soon as the news got to the Lin clan. This clan was by no mean 'a cruel clan' so most people respected them and had no reason to hate or even blame them, Stone was also like them and he knew these tides come once every 30 years and was aware of the risk of living outside the city influence.
After taking leave from his post for a month given to every guard whose family were in the villages he gave his village a visit there was nothing left but some trinkets he picked up that were left from the scavengers who looted the place after the monster tide flattened everything. He erected a grave filled with stones and gravel left it unmarked as there was no name to the village, after his return from the ruined village he applied for the hunting-group of soldiers who hunted beasts and monsters, to get rid of his hatred and also get powerful quickly.
Stone's cultivation rose from early to late houtian level in 2 years of continuous hunting when he was promoted to a squad leader position of the outer city patrol guards. Content with his position he accepted during which he got acquainted with a guard captain and his family captain was a xiantian expert and was near retiring his son, Neel was also an early xiantian and was going to replace his father after the retirement, his youngest Bluegrass also got familiar with each other, as he also met Bluegrass several times in the city. Their relationship was not hidden from the retiring officer who was also in favor of their wedding.
Bluegrass was the third and youngest of the 3 siblings good at training she also cultivated till the late houtian realm with her sword. After falling in love with Stone who was as talented and of a similar age as her the both got married at 18. Just after a year of marriage, both had a beautiful and cute girl named by her father 'Star'. they both were diligent at training and achieved peak houtian realm after a year. then after some time she again got pregnant this time it was a boy who she names 'Leo'. As Stone was late though he knew he was only gone out to inform her father of the delivery of her child she glared at the man she loved as he cowered as he knew the pain she had to go when she was pregnant with Star.
As Leo learned of his family background, he had already started his plan. He first had Dream check whether the family had any object or trinket related to any dead Lose or Celestial immortal and found a broken hairclip with only two stone left on its decoration as soon as he found it, he became very happy as his plan became even easier. Now as the clip was only a normal wooden clip it did not attract any attention and as it did not have any value no high-level cultivator was interested in it, so it became a perfect object to be used as even if an Autarch came to inspect by reversing the time, they would not make any connection to him.
Now that all the pieces were in place he started his plan, first, he had Dream replace the jade clip with a same looking clip which he had her modify to a Lose immortal legacy treasure, the filled it with treasure and money required for his parent to reach Earth immortal level.
As night came the family had dinner and suddenly a light glimmered from the jade pin which was bought by Bluegrass in a yearly fair. As she went to inquire the light Stone also went along her leaving Star and Leo asleep in the next room. And Leo had a smirk on his lips as he thought the fate of the whole family started to change.
As soon as the couple came in contact with the clip it disintegrated and the two grain-sized size stones drilled into their arms, giving them a message in a disembodied voice, " Kids I'm a Lose immortal, because of my careless and arrogant attitude, I have made many enemies so to keep all grievances aside i will not tell you my name. What I have left for you is, treasure and some techniques, which you can pass on to your kids or disciples, my only request for you is to be careful and don't be arrogant before you have the power to back it up."
Then as they were still shocked with the information, another childish voice came waking them from their shock, "As master said now I will give you a qi technique and a visualization technique to match your body type. Also, it will help you disguise it as a normal skill and not an inheritance." Said the spirit of the treasure holding the legacy. Then it started the memory transfer for cultivation, visualization and weapon technique which will help them achieve 'One with the world' level. In their respective weapon that is Spear for Stone and Blade for Bluegrass.
As the kids were asleep they discussed that they will give the kids visualization techniques when they started their training.
Stone:...........
Bluegrass: ............
Stone: THis, this is a very good and a worrisome thing.
Bluegrass: I know!!!, we have to be very secretive about it.
Stone: It would be better if do not tell about it until we reach at least the wanxiang adept level.
Bluegrass: Even then we can only tell that we only got the technique and not the whole legacy and treasures.
Stone: it will help avoid trouble.
Bluegrass: We can always tell kids the part of the technique they require and tell them that they are our family secret and not to tell outsiders.
Stone: But what about your father and brother.
Bluegrass: Father and brother already have a peak zifu disciple level technique giving them will only hurt them as they both are xiantian expert but it will also put our family in danger.
Stone: Now all we have to do is get as strong as possible before our kids can start their
Bluegrass: I guess that's all we can do, cold moon cultivation and your yang-sun cultivation technique are really complementary to each other.
Stone: HMM the dual cultivation section seems interesting. ( making a perverted face)
Bluegrass: It is written not to try before reaching the wanxiang adept level. ( not even noticing the dejected face of her husband)
As the two continued their talk and went on to cultivate they seem to reach early xiantian realm by the morning as this whole debacle was going on the main perpetrator was soundly sleeping while using a peak world level visualization technique. And he also sent the same technique to his elder sister though she did not know what it was just she did it subconsciously and it benefitted her.
The only people aware of what was happening was Leo and Dream.
