The day passed, and the night came.

Kalinga Mansion, Granny Kotori's Evergreen Garden.

Everybody was waiting for Aryan's arrival, all of them had been waiting there for an hour to see Aryan's soul weapon awakening. Here all include the hundreds of servants and the family members of the Aizawa household, including Sir Jean and Howk.

Sir Jean was planning to come alone, but Howk pleaded him to take him along with him. After seeing the five-year kid using Existence Zero, he was quite surprised and wanted to see some more miracles of that kid.

While everyone was waiting for him outside, the little boy was busy taking a small nap. Anisa gently rubbed his cheeks to wake him up.

Aryan "Mom, five more minutes, please." 

"My dear cutie lil boy, I would have let you sleep some more if it were any normal day, but today is your…."

"Soul weapon awakening night," blurted out Aryna and woke up at once.

Anisa laughed at Aryan's eagerness and said, "Get ready and come to the garden. I will be waiting for you there," Aryan nodded his head and went to the bathroom to refresh himself.

Another fifteen minutes passed and Aryan arrived at his Granny's Evergreen Garden, for his soul weapon awakening. He was taken aback for a second after seeing so many people there, but his Gramp's told him on time that they were the servants of the mansion and gathered there to see the event of soul weapon awakening.

Aryan understood, they too wanted to satisfy their curiosity about the new heir of the Aizawa's and didn't mind their presence. 

"So gramps, when should we start? And where should I start?" asked Aryan in excitement. Not only the servants, but he himself too was getting excited to see his soul weapon.

"Ahahahah ahahah," laughed Grand Elder and replied, "Lil boy wait till 7:30, we will start when the two moons come out and align above the mansion."

"Okay, will wait then," said Aryan.

"And about where to start. This awakening doesn't require a platform so you can go some distance from here and start your awakening. By the way before that, your granny told you the awakening process, right?"

"Yes, she has told me about it."

"Nice, now we just have to wait for the full moon."

While they were talking about it, the two full moons came into view, aligning itself above the Kalinga Palace, as mentioned by Grand Elder.

"Now is the time, go go go, and show us a new miracle," said the Grand Elder and patted Aryan on his back. Aryan went to a distance from the place where the rest of his family members were sitting and waved his hand from there, To show he was gonna start.

Hufff! Hufff!! Hufff!!!

He exhaled out the impure air from his body and inhaled a fresh batch of air. Next, as instructed by his Granny Kotori, he took out the weapon seed from his pocket and wore it on his neck.

Granny Kotori made a telepathy channel with Aryan and asked him to start spinning his first stage Earthly Chakra and circulate the chakra energy throughout his body. He followed her instructions and did as he was asked to do. 

"Now let the process continue and dive into your soul sea," instructed Granny Kotori.

Aryan couldn't understand her instructions and asked, "Ehh.. Granny if I dive into my soul sea  won't the circulation of chakra energy stop itself since my consciousness will be in my soul sea….."

"Ara ara lil boy, you think too much, just do as I am telling you, everything will be fine," said Granny Kotori and terminated her telepathy channel.

Once again Aryan followed her instructions without asking any question and to his surprise, even after diving into his soul sea he could feel the chakra energy circulating throughout his body.

He came out of his soul sea and turned around to his Granny. She got worried for a second cause Aryan was a special case, so she pondered whether the normal ways of chakra circulation will work for him or not.

But all those doubts and worries got cleared when she saw the smiling face of Aryan conveying the message that it was a success. Just at the right time, both the moon over the Kalinga Palace got obstructed by the dark clouds, leaving a headache behind for the lil Aryan.

Granny Kotori eased down his useless worries by saying, "Ara ara lil boy, don't worry too much about the moon's radiance, they will come out in a minute or two. And if they don't I have my ways to drag them out."

Aryan didn't dare to question his granny started the process of soul weapon awakening. He held the locket on his neck and closed his eyes to dive into his soul sea.

Before going near his cultivation star, he took a detour and went near the space specially made for his contracted spirits and the unknown voice chan Yui. But to his dismay neither he could pass through it nor he could communicate with them.

He remembered that Yui told him once they were going through metamorphosis and will be asleep till he becomes seven years old. So he left that place and headed towards his cultivation star, with the locket in his hand.

The moment he reached the Star Of Harmony, his locket levitated from his hand and went near the star on its own. Nothing was surprising for him, as his Granny had explained to him about it. 

After revolving around the star for a while, the locket stopped at one place and began to glow. Aryan went near and grabbed the locket.

Shaaa!!!

He slowly opened up his eyes and found himself floating in a dark space. Without doing any further delay he stored up his chakra energy and mental energy in his eyes and released them in one go.

This was an upgraded version of divine sense called Divine Eyes Of The Universe. Just in a second, a huge wave of light engulfed the entire space, after some time the light faded and things went back to normal. 

Out of nowhere, a smirk appeared on Aryan's face. After the light wave disappeared, he got the result of his Divine Eyes Of The Universe and the location of his soul weapon.

He stared towards the darker side of the space and Swah!!

A thousand light-years of distance was covered in an instant. Confront him was a single-handed white sword, with a white blade and white hilt. Aryan went near it and grabbed it in a hurry.

Shaaaa!!!

He was thrown out of that space back to his soul sea, with a white sword in his hand. Before he got a chance to take a look at it, came a sound from the sword, "Ahhhhh…. Master, it's been a while. How are you doing?"

Aryan "..."

He threw the sword at once and used divine sense on it multiple times to see if it check possessed or not. The sword stood erect and said, "Master, master it's me, Shiro."                                               

'Ehhhh... The fck is this character?!! I can't remember Seven giving me anything about Shiro in today's script. Well, let's see how it goes.' thought Aryan and continued his conversation.

"Ahem, if you don't mind, can you give me your introduction again?"

"Ayeee, master, it's me the tsukumogami, Shiro. I met you on your fifth birthday."

"Oof, ooof, oooooof. I remembered now, I gave you the name Shiro, and you went inside me to consolidate your chakras."

"Yesu, now you remember." said the sword to Aryan.

Aryan hesitated for a while before asking, "Care to tell, how did you end up in a sword?"

"Cough, cough I was getting bored inside you and was searching for a good chance to make an entrance (That never came till now), so when I saw the formation of your first soul weapon I jumped into it and ended up becoming its soul and will."

Aryan "...."

'Jumped into it my foot,' cursed Aryan. 'Did he think that as a swimming pool where he could swim freely?'

He cleared up his mind and asked, "Aren't you unhappy that you got stuck inside it?"

"No, absolutely not. And one more thing, when I jumped into it, your soul sea merged us both together and we both are one know."

"What?!!"

"Yes, I am the sword and the sword is me. I can change back to my previous human-like form at any time."

Aryan intervened and said, "Chibi* like form anytime."

"Pfft, hehehe, yes. Chibi like form anytime."

"Then what should I do now?" asked Aryan.

"For the time being, bury me half in your cultivation star so that I can absorb some of its energy and materialize in the real world."

"Oh, okay," replied Aryan and did as he was told to do.

Back in the outside world, the chakra energy in the air was depleting at an alarming rate. And all this was caused by none other than Aryan.

Unconsciously he was absorbing a large amount of chakra from the surrounding.

Granny Kotori smiled and said, "It's almost time, it will come out soon. Get ready for the worst."

At the same time, Aryan inside his soul sea grabbed the sword and buried it half inside on his cultivation star.

The sword started to absorb energy and began materializing in the real world. 

The locket in his shone bright and began to change its shape. 

When Aryan opened his eyes, the sword from his soul sea was there in the real world, in his hand. He looked towards Granny Kotori and raised the sword to show his success.

Seeing his new soul weapon, and that too at the first stage of cultivation tears came flowing from Granny Kotori's eyes. Aryan rushed towards her and wiped her tears, with his small tender hands.

Granny Kotori sobered up and patted Aryan. Not only Granny Kotori, Sir Jean, and Grand Edler too joined up and patted him for his success.

Anisa and Aditya were watching this view from a distance, feeling proud of their son.
