Fate Cultivation

After waking up and being told the details of Merlin's examination of his body, Shen Wenyan grew anxious. If Merlin, the Grand Caster, told him that an existence even above his own level conducted the spell around his body it made him question how strong were the strongest existences in his new world.

The matter regarding the Chains of Heaven rattled Enkidu, however was only wondering how the Chains arrived in this dimension. They all agreed some a being that could cast an illusion that interfered with reality, could eliminate the connection between Enkidu and the Chains.

And the third issue. The [Gate] located in his lower abdomen. They had more questions than answers concerning it, however Merlin noted.

"You could try and summon a God from the Throne of Heroes and get them to f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y open it? Otherwise you will have to be at least as strong the person who wrapped the Chains of Heaven around it to even attempt opening it".

Bringing them to the final concern. Summoning Gods. Shen Wenyan had allowed Angra Mainyu, a lesser God to be summoned into the world, bring a great amount of death and destruction in its wake. Of course he was a God that represented the concept of Evil, but that's exactly the point.

He was weak. At least compared to Gods from major pantheon's. If he attempted to summon like Ares or Susanoo, who knows what destruction it will bring forth. Let alone someone like Ishtar or Medb.

Enkidu shuddered at the thought.

"Anyway, we'll discuss this more after the duel tomorrow. I'll summon one more Servant tonight just in case. It'll be our 'debut' so to speak in this world. I don't want to appear weak in front of anybody". Said Shen Wenyan. Caster and Lancer nodded. It was a strange new world stuck in the Age of Gods, were Divine Spirits and Phantasmal Beasts roamed the land, appearing weak was akin to putting a target on your back.

"I'll look around town a bit Master. Who knows what information I'll get".

And with that Merlin left with a silly grin on his face. Only God knows what he'll get up to.

"I'm ready Enkidu. Watch my back".

The next morning Shen Wenyan awoke at the break of dawn as the sun shone through the cracks in the broken house and directly onto his face.

"Go away, stupid sun". He muttered.

"Master. It's time to get up. You've got to eat. Your duel is less than 3 hours". Said Lancer with a bowl of soup in his hands.

Enticed by the smell, Shen Wenyan, reluctantly got up and took the bowel eagerly. Drinking it all within a few short minutes.

With a smile he said, "That was great Enkidu, where did you get it?".

"It wasn't me who got it. It was Caster. He came back last night with several bags of ingredients. Most of which do not grow on Earth", said Enkidu with a smile. As somebody who was born from nature, he really liked anything to do with it, whether that be plants, animals, insects or even places like forests, mountains and oceans. He was connected to it, the earth beneath him was his mother.

"Where is Lancer of Black by the way? Has she gotten up yet?".

Enkidu nodded, "She has. She saw that you hadn't woken yet so she wanted to sit in the forest outside. Wanted to acclimate with her new environment".

Shen Wenyan nodded and went outside to find his new Servant. Although she was a little willful last night. She gradually accepted her new life outside of Earth or the Land of Shadows.

"Lancer? Are you here? Lancer of Green told me I could find-". Shen Wenyan's eyes flashed as his Magic Crest lit up and the Earth beneath him turned into several sharp spikes all pointing outwards.

A figure landed several meters in front of Shen Wenyan. She was bending forward allowing for her seductive dark purple hair to fall down her shoulders while leaning on two red spears that had pierced the ground. Her beautiful behind was raised only added to her m.a.t.u.r.e charm.

"Ara? Master, you've gotten better since you last summoned me. Last time we ended up doing some very naughty things didn't we", she said while l.i.c.k.i.n.g her lips.

Shen Wenyan looked down and whispered, "Killing over a hundred people would definitely be considered naughty".

"What was that Master? Something about castration?", she said in a husky voice.

Shen Wenyan's back straightened his hands moved to his front, "Nothing my Queen, your faithful Master is always here to stand by your side and serve".

She let out a melodious giggle, "I see you've turned into quiet the charmer since I've last seen you. At least the company I keep isn't boring".

"I am here from now until the end of time to serve you my Queen. Till death do us part", quoted Shen Wenyan smiling.

He and Lancer of Black were both immortal. One a practitioner of the Third True Magic and the other a pseudo-Divine Spirit trapped between her mortality and godhood. A match made in Heaven, or divined by Fate.

"Then, my adorable little servant. Carry me back to the house. I don't wont to sully my body with dirt and dust", she raised her head seemingly aloof, but the happy smile on her face gave her away.

Getting down on his knees, Shen Wenyan picked up the pseudo-Divine Spirit on his back feeling a pair of soft cushions pushing down on him.

"What's with that smile, servant? Are you taking advantage of your Queen?", said Lancer while plonking her fist on the back of her Master's head.

"Ah! What a troublesome little Queen I have. Ah, stop beating me!", he said exaggeratedly. The two of them didn't see the green and white haired Servants looking at them and smiling.

"Well it seems our Master is quite the smooth one isn't her Lancer?", asked Merlin.

Enkidu replied, "Yes. Considering both their circ.u.mstances, they both wish for the same thing, but are unable to obtain it. Also...".

Merlin couldn't help but ask, "What? Is there something else?".

"I do believe they feel the human emotion to mate with each other. Am I mistaken Caster?".

He tried to stifle his laughter but couldn't and the greatest magus in history was now rolling on the forest grass laughing his head off.

"Hahaha! Enkidu, that was actually the best thing I've ever heard! Hahaha!".

The Lancer Servant only tilted his head and wondered to himself, 'Did I do something wrong?'.

A couple hours later a huge crowd could be seen in the center of Spring Water City. The City itself contained roughly 750,000 people so the center of the town had a massive turntable that allowed travelers and citizens to go North, South, East and West. The massive roads leading out of the center of town were also packed and many people were placing bets on the fight.

"200 gold coins on Young Master Yulong to win the fight!"

"150 gold coins on Young Master Yulong".

"A screw it! 50 gold coins on the other guy!".

Anybody who didn't bet for the 5th Young Master of the Profound Lin Family were given glares so strong that could kill and many were forced off the main streets if the didn't.

"Damn that Lin Family. They bought off most of the city guards and many of the bookies taking bets. I here that the 2nd and 4th Lin Family daughters would be making an appearance as well".

"Wow really? Two of the Twelve Wonders of Heavenly Swallow. Coming here!?".

"I heard the the 2nd Lin Family daughter is so beautiful that she covers he face with a mask to avoid punishment from the Heavens!".

"Well I heard that the 4th Lin Family daughter has already reached the peak of the Xiantian Realm. And she's only 16!".

There were many rumors floating about Sprint Water City as of late. It was the first time in a long time since so many people had gathered this close to the Swallowing Mountain Range. As it was so close to a Spiritual Beast's Holy Land many people who lived here were veteran soldiers or wandering cultivators looking to settle down.

Since there were so many people coming into the City at once the Spring Water City Lord, Nuo Yang, who had just returned with an envoy from the Lunar Crown Sect started to sweat.

'Applications for this, permits for that. When does this end?'. He was literally buried under a pile of paperwork.

However in the City Lord's Residence a group of beautiful women all sat down, observing the three masked women in front of them.

"Lien'er. This man you found. Are you sure he's worth the trouble?". The one on the left asked.

The masked woman on the right snorted, "A mortal? Whose over looks 15 despite claiming to be over 300 years old? Bah, he's fooling you child. You should now better than that".

"Now, now Elder Yun. Lien'er is just what you said, a child. It's normal for a child to make mistakes". The first woman said calmly while sipping on her tea.

Senior Sister Lien squirmed slightly under the Elder's comments. Both Elder Yun and Elder Xue already had several candidates in mind for the Sect Expansion and when she came bursting into her mother's chambers demanding that all the Elder be brought together, some of them were furious.

The one in the middle, who didn't talk until now asked, "What about the battle puppet? The one with a soul? What was it's name?".

Shen Lien didn't dare deny this particular Elder's question and answered, "Enkidu, Elder Ling. Shen Wenyan said that his name was Enkidu".

This elder put down her cup of tea and looked outside, "It's nearly time. Then we shall see whether you are telling- What!".

Elder Ling took two steps back and knocked over the table with the tea pot. For some reason no tea was spilt on her dress but her actions shocked the other Elders.

"Elder Ling! What is the matter?".

"Are you unhurt? Do you feel alright?".

"I'm fine! But once the fight is over, we will take this Shen Wenyan and his guests back with us to the Lunar Crown Sect. Am I understood!".

He heavy pressure filled the room.

Everyone bowed before leaving the three Elders alone.

"Sister Ling, is everything alright?".

"Is something the matter?".

Elder Ling didn't say anything but just placed her palm on her lower stomach as if trying to feel for something.

"I'm fine. I just didn't like the tea. I'll be waiting in my room".

In a silent gust of wind, Elder Ling vanished leaving the other two Elders alone completely confused.

'I can't believe he's not dead! He actually escaped!'.

Elder Ling sat in her room both hands covering her stomach protectively.

'The father of my child!'.
