Changes from past lives, Awakening the aperture
The sun was shining brightly in the sky, the temperature was mild. On the first peak of Chi Yan mountain was a city known as Chi Luo city. On the crowded road which passes through the city was an Old man walking, behind him following were three people, a woman and two twin boys, they were Mei Lan and her two children Lei Tian and Lei Yun, who were both same since Lei Tian has long killed his brother's soul and placed his split soul to make a clone.
Lei Tian was already five years old and today he was going to the divine altar to awaken his aperture as well as to confirm that he is just a mortal with no possibility to awaken an aperture since he had already seen this day in his past life.
The old man's name was Chi Shan Tong, he was an outer elder and his work was mostly related to handling the businesses of the clan, and also to train young qi masters until they became strong enough to take part in clan affairs. He glanced at the family who were walking behind him and sighed, 'Although the higher ups are doing this just for formality, how can children of two mortals become qi masters? Although it's not impossible, it is very rare. Nevermind, I will just finish this quickly.'
Soon they arrived in front of a pavillion, on the board of was writing qi altar hall with bold letters, the pavillion itself was not too big and was old, clearly shows that this place is not used frequently, which is indeed the truth because even if the population of servants living below the mountain is around thousand, not everyday a child is born their.
Chi Shan Tong opened the gates wide, and entered the hall, as he said, "All of you should come in and sit."
The interior was also old but there was no dust, people came here to clean it regularly, there were 5 futons, all three of them sat crossed-leg without saying or questioning anything, Mei Lan was sitting behind her two sons and had a serious expression.
In front of them was an altar which was called divine altar, it works on a simple basis, it pushes five elements qi by extracting it from 5 natural qi sources and if the human body accepts the qi instead of throwing it in different direction then they will be able to awaken their aperture.
Chi Shan Tong was placing different material on different spots of the altar, he first placed a type of soil which was filled with earthen qi and placed it on the altar, next a servant came from the inner door and gave him a plant, this plant had green leaves and was looking like it was still planted on earth, it was filled with wood qi, next he went towards a small cavity in the altar and placed some water in the cavity, this was again a special type of water filled with water qi, then he placed so metal scraps, which were of different colours like gold and other metals, they were clearly filled with metal qi and then finally he came to the last empty spot, which also had a cavity and placed used his hand, his aura surged as a fire came out of his body which was placed in the cavity, this fire was filled with fire qi.
He sighed of relief, this process needs accuracy otherwise if he failed even in any one step all his progress will be in vain and the rest of the material will be destroyed too, in his vision these materials were radiating intense qi which in this room only he can see, this was the power of a qi master, they can see any type of qi in this world but that was not the case with mortals, they can neither feel qi nor see it whereas qi masters can do both and when they are enough strong they can even manipulate qi.
Next he sat crossed-leg on one of the futons which was empty and closed his eyes and started moving his eyes. He was manipulating the qi inside the altar and balancing out the qi present inside it.
Lei Tian was a mortal so he cannot see the qi but he knows about everything about this 'divine altar' and the materials, although these materials were not cheap for mortals like him but they were like bread and rice for qi masters.
'In my past life I nurtured some humans for experiments to learn about the profound truth about apertures but didn't get any results.'
Chi Shan Tong opened his eyes and withdrawn his hands, the qi inside the altar was perfectly balanced then he looked towards these three and spoke, this divine altar is made with qi of five different qi, one of you come sit in the centre and I will use the altar to inject the qi, if your body rejects the qi then you won't be able to awaken your aperture.
Hearing this Lei Tian stood up and went to the altar and sat at the center of the altar in lotus position and closed his eyes.
"Be careful, I am going to inject the qi, try to feel this force and don't let it go if you can feel it." Saying this he manipulated his hands and from eyes he could see 5 different colours merging together. Next he merged these qi flows in a single stream and pushed the stream inside Lei Tian from the position of the belly button.
Whoosh
The stream started flowing very quickly and Lei Tian's body was absorbing the qi at a very high speed. 'What is going on?! How can I feel the qi in my body? Why is there a change? Could it be the part of inheritance? Or because the soul burst previously? This is interesting.'
Lei Tian, unlike his previous life, can feel the qi and for some reason he can now awaken his aperture naturally. He immediately started absorbing the qi in his body without any reservation as if his body is a dry lake, qi stream was flowing inside it rapidly.
Watching this scene Chi Shan Tong was shocked but quickly accepted this result, 'I was wrong! This kid was able to awaken his aperture, truly lucky! Heavens changed his future in a single moment. But.. Why is he absorbing so fast? Maybe this is his first time so he is trying his best. I should slowly stop the flow and stop the formation.'
He began to manipulate the qi flow forcefully slowing down the stream and thinning it, in a few minutes the qi flow completely stopped and he withdrew his hands.
"Good Good! This is very good for our clan and your family, you have the potential to awaken an aperture in future" He moved towards Lei Tian and gently patted his shoulders.
Lei Tian looked innocently and smiled without saying anything and went back to his mother. Mei Lan had tears and hugged his son. Lei Tian sometimes did these things so that no one doubts him and he gains someone's unnecessary attention.
