Chapter 3 - Chi Yan Mountain, Chi Shan clan

Chi Yan Mountain, Chi Shan clan

'This is the fate of a powerless person in this world. A mortal woman who is powerless like her can put her hopes on 3 people, the first is her father, then her husband and lastly her children, if she can't get her happiness from any of these three, her life will be in vain. The best she could do is to become a servant and live her life and die a natural death.' These were the inner thoughts of Lei Tian for her mother in this world. 'Even if I came back in the past, can I change anything? Yes, I can but not now, I am just a powerless mortal, a boy from a family of servants whose father died before his birth. As for this woman who feeds me daily and cares for me? I couldn't careless, I am powerless either way, and she is just doing for her son, she gave birth to us so she had to feed us and care for us, well she can abandon us too but she won't, since the clan is giving her funds to take care of us until we are 15 years old, she died in just a year after we failed to awaken our aperture. Hehe, is this her love towards us? It will take almost 25-30 years for me to awaken my aperture, until then I will have to survive in this clan being a mortal, mining stones or becoming someone's servant.'

Lei Tian was originally from Earth, he had loving parents and he loved his parents but they got old and died, later he also died from old age and came here, naturally, he can try to become a son this Mei Lan but by doing so he will betray his parents love and will also hurt Mei Lan, he took place of her actual son in the previous life and now he killed the other child which was originally hers, and he wants to act like her own child? 

While he was thinking this, Mei Lan was holding him and his clone in his hand. There were a lot of people present, they were here to congratulate her for giving birth to two healthy boys, and brought clothes, food and ration for gifts. These people were also servants of the clan, many of them knew Lei Feng and few also knew Mei Lan.

"It is already very late, Mei Fan, you have announced the names of your children which you have decided." An old lady spoke. 

"Yes yes, I know Lei Feng must be watching us today from heaven." A friend of Lei Feng spoke. 

Mei Feng spoke, "These two boys are both twins, they were born with some small time difference so there is an elder and younger, my first son's name will be Lei Tian and second's son name will be Lei Yun."

"Good! Good name! Lei Tian and Lei Yun. I will pray to the heavens to give them great fortune."

"Mei Lan, you have chosen very good names."

Mei Lan glanced respectfully at an elderly man who was sitting in the center with good clothes. He was a direct member of the Chi Shan clan who came to attend this banquet on the orders of the clan. "Good names, from today onward their names will be Lei Tian and Lei Yun, I hope they will make up for their names in the future." He showed a gentle smile while saying this.

Soon the banquet ended and all the guests went back. There were a lot of gifts, mainly food and clothes for both twins and the mother. Mei Lan was inspecting the gifts while Lei Tian and Lei Yun were lying on bed. 

'On Earth my parents named me Li Wei, but here my name is Lei Tian. Now I will just normally for 5 years, after 6 years I will have to live with Auntie Zhao, just after few months while living with them Lei Yun died, clan never stopped giving us fund till I reached age of 15, they gave the share of my brother too and Auntie Zhao and Old man Zhao didn't had children so they loved me a lot in hopes that I will take care of them in future, When I turned 21, Old man Zhao died and at 25 Auntie Zhao also died living me their whole house and I was pretty rich as a servant and mortal at that time. I lived a humble life by mining qi stones in the valley. At 35 while I was mining and got lost I found an inheritance of a qi immortal and awakened my aperture and began the journey of becoming immortal. But! that inheritance was there for always, it's just that nobody discovered it until I did. I still remember the path to reach that place. It is just that I cannot survive that journey with this body in which I can't even walk. But in my previous life after I received the inheritance I left Chi Yan mountain because the inheritance said that people can only awaken their aperture past age 5 when they receive help of qi immortal, if I was careless and told the truth, Chi Shan clan members might have tied me to a pole and would be searching my soul. This time, I will train my and Yun's body to the peak of under any mortal's limit and after age 25 we will go there, get the inheritance and leave the Chi Yan mountain for good, I still remember the major news of people getting rare qi stones by luck in these years so I can use it as my advantage and steal their opportunities.' 

...

Years past like days, nothing special happened during this period Lei Tian's life, everything was like the previous life, he started speaking, later started walking too and soon 5 years passed, during this time, he was relaxing which was a rare sight in the later part of his previous life, because of sleeping his soul which was slightly in a bad shape also got fixed and same with his clone. 

Inside the hut Mei Lan was hugging her children and said, "Lei Tian and Lei Yun, today you both will get a chance to become a qi master if you awaken your aperture but even if you don't awaken there's no problem we can still live a happy life." She smiled as she looked at both of her sons, they were healthy and clean, they were not too beautiful, they were ordinary looking but they were her everything, during this 5 years Lei Tian realised something that is, 'This woman in the last five years had gone through a lot of emotions and now different from before she doesn't sees us just as her chance to get a better life but now she loves us with everything she has. But if nothing changed in the last 5 years why does she love us so much? Or did she love us forever but I failed to understand? It could be possible... but then why did she suddenly die?' 

As Lei Tian was thinking about it, MeI Lan was holding the hands of both her kids and brought her outside the hut, and closed the fence gate. They walked on the road, the road was not so clean, houses were each apart a distance, it was the time of morning and people were climbing on the mountain stairs, these were the servants who climb daily on the mountain and come down at night, while some climb at evening and return in noon, there were many people who were in a line to climb the mountain, Auntie Zhao and Old man Zhao were also in line greeted us. Aunt Zhao patted Mei Lan shoulders and said, "Don't think about too much, Lei Feng was also a mortal like you, it will be really a blessing if your sons awaken their aperture and become qi masters but even if they won't, don't blame them or yourself, leave it up to the heavens." While Old man Zhao gave candy to both Lei Tian and Lei Yun. 

They started walking in the line and soon started climbing the stairs of mountain, because of daily activity, the stairs were in good condition, and the journey was smooth, they were were climbing the first peak of Chi Yan mountain, also the peak at lowest, to reach other two peaks, one have to follow the path on first peak and then go to second and third peak.

Upon reaching the peak everyone went in a different direction and Mei Lan was still holding hands of both her children waiting near the gates of the clan, soon an old man came, he was a member of Chi Shan clan, he was wearing the official robe of the clan which was scarlet red in colour. He said, "Let's go to the divine altar, we will know whether your children can become Qi masters or not."
