Chapter 128 - Mr. Green

"Don't disappoint me, former grandmaster Jun," said the current grandmaster which caught Mr. Green by surprise.

"Huh? What are you saying grandmaster? I thought you were the only grandmaster throughout history!" said Mr. Green with a shocked voice.

"Of course I'm not idiot. I only took over about 200 years ago. The grandmaster before me was Jun, of course he could've continued to rule as the grandmaster but something changed in his heart after the Great War," said the grandmaster.

"But that's impossible! The longest a human can live up to is only 100 years! Do you imply that Jun and you are much older than that?!" Mr green asked with as he was still shocked.

"That's exactly right. You must know by now that ageing of different for those who are a higher ranked remediation cultivators. You also should know that when's person cultivates, aging is completely stooped for them which is why we tend to live for longer years that those who choose to battle but it's not like we actually can experience them since we're just paused while the world around us continues to live," the grandmaster explained.

"So in the end, it must not make sense to you how Jun nor I manage to stay alive for this long yet we never seem to die. That had a simple explanation. It's the feather of eternity," the grandmaster continued.

"There was once a great bird which descended upon our world. Once reached our planet, it but off one of its feathers and gave it to the first human in this world. That human was the first grandmaster, grandmaster Victorius. As long as the first grandmaster held on to that feather, he would never age a single day in his life. Unlike what most people think of grandmasters, they are not some divine creatures that protect themselves from the temptations of the world," said the grandmaster.

"In fact, it's the opposite, they choose to indulge in every desire which the have since they don't fear death. Victorius ended up having many children over thousands of years but in the end, he began to lose him mind from having to watch hundreds of his friends and family die of old age while he got to live, in the end, he decided to let go of the feather so that he could die," said the grandmaster as if she had completed the story.

"So did the first grandmaster die right away because all the years he had cheated caught up to him?" Mr. Green asked.

"No, in fact it was the opposite, all the years which he had lived, he would have to live out again. It was a repeat of everything he had gone through. Over the next few thousand years, Victorius had many children which he didn't care for and just left them to die but in his final years, he met a young man named Jun. Jun revealed that his life had been hell since his father left. His mother had died and he had to do whatever it look to survive. At one point he was even a slave for some traders. All who was to blame for that was Jun's father, Victorius," the grandmaster continued as Mr. Green grew to be more invested into the story.

"To get revenge for the hellish life he had lived, Jun cut Victorius in half and ended his life for him so that he wouldn't die of just old age. In his final moments, Victorius told Jun where he had left the bird's feather, also known as the feather of eternity. Even though Jun hated his father, he went to see what his father's last words were really about. It was there which Jun found the feather of eternity and became the 2nd grandmaster," the current grandmaster finished her story.

"Wow, so did Jun decide to use his power for something good so that he wouldn't turn out just like his father?" Mr. green asked with sparkling eyes as he wanted to learn everything about the grandmasters of the past.

"Not actually, you see, just like I said before, Jun had lived a life of hell. He didn't care for the world no the least, not that he cares about it now either. So instead he decided to do whatever he desired. It didn't matter how wrong it was, he did it if he wanted to. The only thing which he refrained from was having children as he didn't want to turn out like his father," the grandmaster continued.

"So did he just give the feather to some random person then?" Mr. Green asked.

"No he didn't. He actually did have a child in the end but we're not on that part yet. Like I was saying, he didn't have children until the Great War 200 years ago. The war lasted over 20 years and in that time, Julius had seem the worst of the world. He grew sick of living and wanted to end it all. So, he decided to opt for the same path as his father which was death. However he knew he couldn't just leave the feather as it could end up in the wrong hands," said the grandmaster.

"As such, after almost a thousand years of having the feather of eternity, Jun returned the feather where he found it and had his first child, me," the grandmaster continued.

"He raised me well actually. He told me all his stories and shielded me while the war was going on. He was truly a man which I looked up to and so once the war had come to an end, he told me to find the feather of eternity so I could take over as the 3rd grandmaster," the current grandmaster finished.

"So why would you kill your own kind father?! And why are you telling me all of this, it seems like pretty secret information," Mr. Green said.

"I tend to let information like this slip when I'm happy.. Sorry, it has happened before, but don't worry, it's not like anyone will know about our little conversation," said the grandmaster with large evil grin.
