EASTER EGGS

The Cang mountain range was large and full of diverse forms of life. It marked the borders of four countries, including the Empire.

Its rocky slopes were like the folds of cloth, its trees, plants and fungi like the ornate patterns of brocade. Water in the form of streams, brooks, even small rivers were like silver threads and silver trim.

Its verdant groves were full of birds and beasts, its bodies of water were full of fish. It was a truly beautiful place, with its environments varying from slope to summit. The summit's may as well have been ice hells, but its slopes were very livable .

It was, therefore a pity that these fine mountains, full of ore and resources, held so very many bandits and brigand groups.

Some of these brigands claimed to be from the Wulin or the Jianghu.

When they wanted food, they hunted beasts or fish. When they wanted cloth, fabric or other luxury items, perhaps furniture or such things, they went to harass the naive populace living close by.

A certain tall, strong and handsome bandit by the name of Liu Cang, was most certainly an orphan, having been found by an old bandit 'king' of the previous generation. From his sword brows and his finely carved features, the smoothness of his golden skin, the shape of his elegant, long fingered hands, one might guess his absent parents had been people of some consequence; his mother must have at least been beautiful. As it was, he had only that 'king' and those old bandits, the king's sworn brothers, to consider as his elders, before they too, ended up dying in this or that skirmish with their fellows or the authorities.

The old 'king' claimed to have been an expert from the Wulin, before his 'family' drove him out. After that, he had eventually acquired sworn brothers, moved to that mountain and put his efforts into making it a home for himself and those brothers.

Having grown up on these slopes, Liu Cang had eventually put together a bandit group among whose ranks were several refugees and the dispossessed with which he subdued and assimilated the other bandit groups in the mountain.

It was a case of the dispossessed feeding on the dispossessed, dog eat dog.

Having thus proved his mettle by beating all his competitors to a messy pulp, this man laid claim to the central peak of the mountain range and made life difficult for the people who had to go to that mountain to acquire medicinal herbs, rare fungi, pan gold and smoothed gemstones from the brooks or had to cross that mountain for trade.

In short, Liu Cang had been a nuisance who could be bribed for quite some time, as his father had, before him.

That old man had never been able to have a son or daughter of his own. He had taken in a few concubines from this or that family who lived near the mountain range, but he had never had children of his own. His sworn brothers were luckier, and so his adopted son, Liu Cang, had many sworn brothers of that generation.

Sadly, none of them were too bright. Loyal, but not bright and not given to introspection or considering the ramifications of their actions.

ATDSVT

To understand a man, one must understand their circumstances.

Several years ago, three provinces of a certain country on the other side of the Cang mountain range had suffered horribly. When it wasn't drought, it was fires. When it wasn't fire, it was floods. When it wasn't floods, it was pestilence. When it was neither of those, it was plague.

The people who lived there for generations could no longer persist in living there. They had no choice but to flee.

It is a fact that people who have been driven off their land can be forced to turn to violent pursuits in order to have a living or to survive while they seek shelter in more congenial ground. When people are denied their livelihoods, anarchy follows.

The old bandit king had once legitimately been a warrior of some high rank in that country's Wulin. Alas, his province was one of the problem regions, and he had snapped in the face of the disasters, slaying an embezzling official and then taking his stash to look after their people.

These people took what they had on hand and left their land.

Among those people, were Liu Cang's family, who were once a family of good means before the disasters struck.

They were not alone. Families sold their daughters to buy their own survival, eating anything edible before they were forced to leave or die.

Now, such occurances weren't really that unusual. Short of finding a cultivator with some skill in manipulating water, such events were sadly recurring in cycles. Even the Empire had its share of natural disasters, and it couldn't even rely on cultivators to do something about those because the only thing that cultivators genuinely believed was their purview was the purging of demonic beasts and evil cultivators.

Events like these were one of the reasons that the slave trade flourished, with people selling themselves or members of their families in order to survive.

Events like this were also why some of the cultivator sects who thought of humans as livestock or ants could afford humans as cannon fodder or target practice dummies or bedwarmers. In the last case, the mortals were relatively lucky- if they didn't upset their masters they would live longer and be given land to live on sooner.

In this case, rather than sell themselves or die, these people had moved to the mountain range on that country's border. In the end, they had become bandits and brigands.

Within the old bandit king's lifetime they had begun preying on the natives of the Empire for their goods.

If one was to describe them, it would be that they were 'leeches' taking the excess resources of the populace.

When provinces fell to such straits, millions of natives became refugees. These refugees tried to enter other countries in hope of starting new lives. Some people bribed their ways in, some sacrificed their daughters or sons, some sacrificed their own bodies in order to enter a safer country.

It was a fact that the strong preyed upon the weak and many people became bandits and preyed upon those who were in similar straits.

The old bandit king had preferred to feed on the resources of foreigners rather than his own folk. Whether this was a good or bad decision remained to be seen, but his own people were fed, so it was likely he simply didn't care.

Regardless, he had left his son with the position and Liu Cang was many things, but wise and introspective wasn't one of them. His father was not a leader of men by inclination, and acclaimed king only by his fellow wolves because he had put their people first.

In short, Liu Cang wasn't prepared to train his people to enjoy peaceful days. In the Jianghu, one took what one needed. in the Wulin, like the cultivation world, it was normal to kill to silence people, kill to steal treasures. In short, the bandit leaders weren't equipped with the knowledge that would allow them to be a self sufficient settlement, much less a nation.

In truth, he and his people had been preying on natives on both the Empire's side of the mountain range as well as the country on the opposite side of the mountain range.

It was only a matter of time before people dealt with them. The only question was who would get there first?

EASTER EGG

It was normal for the parents in this world to be the ones deciding upon the engagements of their children.

Some people engaged their children to others' sons and daughters for power, for alliances between families. Others engaged their children to the children of their friends to continue their parents' friendships or to pay their debts, whether it was money or honor.

In the case of Gao Jinghe and Wang Zhengchen, the engagement was decided on in order to perpetuate their friendship. These two had gone on battlefields together, and despite the fact that Wang Zhengchen was older than his friend by ten years, the friendship was still going strong. They had dragged each other out of deathtraps, patched each others' scrapes, supported each other on their ways back to the camps on many battlefields.

As a direct result, when Wang Zhengchen found out his son was stupid enough to want to dump his best friend's daughter, in front of her family members, no less... He filed Siye under 'never going to get a good rank' and set the matter aside, looking for a viable engagement among his other sons. He ordered Siye to give her presents to make her life easier because he intended to spoil the girl. Because he felt it was what she deserved.

Wang Zhengchen understood the power plays between clan members. After all, he had dealt with such things when he was younger, having to fight for his birthright. While he couldn't just demand that the clan members treat his friend well in the absence of their strongest elder, taking his friend's daughter under his protection could give him leverage and a place of sanctuary to offer his friend.

Alas, Siye was a disappointment. That meant he needed better options.

The son who was closest in age to Siye, Fuyi, was thus the best candidate to take up the position. He was also his father's current favorite. Knowing how heavily his father placed importance on this engagement, Fuyi had no intention of going against his father's will, even though Miss Mei Lin's appearance set him ill at ease. She was a nice girl, despite her appearance and anyway, lust was what concubines were for.

To his very well hidden relief, by the time he got to the estate in order to convey their father's words to Siye, he had arrived to find that a very masculine cultivator with a surprisingly feminine voice was consoling Miss Mei Lin, murmuring gently to her, rubbing her back and gently wiping her face clean of the copious tears she was shedding. The other cultivator there, the one who was like a fairy but had a definitely male voice, had simply stated that if Miss Mei Lin's fiance didn't want her, they would take her.

As in, Cang Qiong's Qing Jing disciple, Guo Minghua and his lady, Miss Changying, had clearly agreed that they would both marry her. Which had made the elders turn purple.

While Siye hadn't bothered to research these things, Fuyi was much more careful about researching people he might come across in fortuitous or unfortunate encounters in order to be ready to avoid inconvenient arguments or any escalation.

For far too long a time, in order to protect his family's face, he had to clean up after his foolish older brother, this was just another incident in a long line of...dubious decisions he had to deal with.

As such, he quickly acted to smooth things over further, stating that Siye's words weren't according to their mutual father's wishes, that the presents had been intended to facilitate Miss Mei Lin's happiness and comfort, to allow her to have support and comfort throughout life even if she didn't marry Siye... And that even if Siye broke the engagement and married someone else, their mutual father would still consider Miss Mei Lin to be his daughter-in-law and treat her accordingly.

Siye and Miss Nihuang's faces turned unsightly. Didn't that just mean that Wang Zhengchen would never consider Nihuang as his daughter-in-law even if Siye did try to marry her in?!

Guo Minghua and Miss Changying to the rescue of fair damsels and the bending of everyone they come in contact of.
That Siye is going to regret breaking his engagement. By the time Minghua and Changying get through with her, Mei Lin will probably have a very looong line of suitors.

After a very enlightening conversation with Wang Zhengchen, Mei Lin's two new fiances brought up the subject of a full body checkup for her and her father.

While Wang Zhengchen was breaking the news to his now heartbroken son, Siye, that he was being assigned only the rank of Count, specifically because of what he did to the Wang's BFF and his daughter, the physical examinations were proceeding.

Gao Jinghe was not happy at all, to find out that the real reason his daughter had so many persistent skin problems and assumed birthmarks weren't really allergies,or birthmarks.

She had been poisoned in the womb.

This same poison must have been what really killed her mother after their son was born, rather than childbed fever.

If the poison were allowed to run its course, it would destroy her body further. Already she was unable to cultivate, but it would eventually start affecting her internal organs and her veins too, causing her to waste away in a horribly slow, miserable death.

As it was, the very clear difference between the resources held by big sects and the resources held by wealthy, influential mortals was revealed to be a chasm as big as the Cang Mountain Range.

For mortals and even most sects, crippling was permanent. The breaking of bones was considered a terrible thing and bones broken had a chance of ruining cultivation thoroughly because they could never heal to the required strength to support a cultivator.

The kind of 'incapable of walking' crippling that Gao Jinghe had, was considered to be life ruining everywhere. Just as the poison that Mei Lin had suffered was also life ruining everywhere.

Everywhere except in Cang Qiong, that was.

Gao Jinghe was the first to be healed, as his wounds were the most traumatic. In addition, there was the delicious bonus of the purple, unsightly looks on the faces of the elders who had gone against him, lending even more savor to the affair.

Naturally, the next thing to be done was the healing of Mei Lin.

Of course, the two sons and the Wang had exited the room only to bear witness to the miracle.

The first thing that Gao Jinghe asked Guo Minghua for, as his father-in-law, to be done right after he would be done healing Mei Lin... was for him to heal his friend, Wang Zhengchen.

Naturally, Wang Zhengchen was touched. As expected of his friend, really generous.

Of course he had completely pragmatic reasons to ask Minghua for that favor.

A healed Wang Zhengchen would never have to give that brat, Siye, the time of day, much less any chance to scheme for a bigger inheritance.

As Mei Lin stared at her own reflection in the exquisite, rare silver and glass mirror that her fiance was holding in front of her, she could only marvel at the changes.

This.... She had never known that she could be beautiful, like an immortal. But that was exactly what she was seeing in front of her.

After learning why his father had arrived to basically crush all his hopes and dreams of being the next Wang, by taking him completely off the list of sons with any claim to that inheritance and removing him from the line of succession to any other properties, Siye was buried in bitterness and self recriminations.

His father truly valued that girl more than him, to the point he was rejected because of her? That was so unfair! He could only blame both Miss Nihuang for seducing him and Miss Mei Lin for being more loved by his father than he himself ever was.

Fuyi, as the loyal, nonquestioning and sensible son, had savored the sight of his older brother losing everything he had hoped for. With one less competitor, he could advance to the top three candidates to become the next Wang.

Of course this pair of sons and the recently arrived Wang who had lectured the elder boy, were stunned to come out and find Guo Minghua healing the father and daughter.

The fact that he has never been able to help Jinghe's injuries heal had always been a thorn in the side of Wang Zhengchen. Now that his friend was healed, he could only be both envious he hadn't been able to help his friend more and stunned to find out his friend's daughter was really a beauty under the skin problems she had earlier.

Siye had a simple plan. Because his fiancee adored him, she could help him get back his inheritance once he sweet talked her into it. Given she loved him, he had an immense amount of expectation that she would ensure the return of everything he had lost.

Except he was very wrong and she no longer wishes to speak with him.

Siye who had come to beg for Mei Lin' s forgiveness and lure her into taking him back as her fiance in order to regain his position, could only gape as the woman he had thought of as disgusting, became exquisitely beautiful and enticing right before his eyes.

It was fairly obvious that Miss Nihuang couldn't take the sudden change in their circumstances.

First, the prospective father-in-law declared he considers her less talented and less beautiful cousin to be his treasured daughter-in-law, making it clear that he doesn't even put her in his eyes. Then her cousin is picked up by a gorgeous pair of cultivators who are both from higher ranking sects than the one she is entering. Then if that wasn't bad enough, they fixed up her cousin's skin and her cousin is suddenly a female immortal?!

These circumstances, all she wants to do is rage quit!

Unfortunately for her and her Elders whose faces have now been dragged into the mud by these people, they are still required to come up with a conclusion to smooth over their perfidy in trying to steal an engagement.

Naturally, their expressions do not look healthy anymore, looking more like the recently dead as Jinghe, now fully recovered, actually thanks them for breaking the engagement so that his daughter got a better pair of spouses and got him healed of his crippling injuries to boot.

Now he can compete with their candidates for the place as the family head again, isn't that great?

The elders want to vomit blood right about now but all they can do is wobble away unsteadily, cursing him in their heart of hearts.

Click to expand...

I'm beginning to think those elders and Mei Lin's cousin had something to do with both her poisoning and her father's injury As for Siye and Nihuang, they got their just deserts Mei Lin deserves better than that scum ex and with her father a strong candidate for the family head if he does manage to win that will be another slap in the face to them.

EASTER EGG

In general, there are three spheres of influence. The mortal, secular world ruled by the Emperor, the Jianghu, and the realm of immortals and demons.

These three overlap in certain ways. For example, mortal governments are ruled by Emperors or kings who claim divine right, possibly through descent from this or that ancient immortal cultivator hero who purged demons, gained great fame and the worship of multitudes, the higher ups of the secular military may also have their own qinggong techniques. The Jianghu had its share of people who delved into Qi techniques and could possibly branch over into becoming an immortal cultivator if they had fortuitous encounters. And immortal cultivators could come from any walks of life, as long as they had acquired a Qi cultivation technique from a fortuitous encounter that allowed them to break their own limits, most of them retired from mortal life to cultivate.

In the millions of people in a city, one could find plenty of people studying qinggong, or who were involved in the Jianghu, but immortal cultivators were the one percent. As such, the oldest immortal sects were known to be incredibly choosy and wealthy.

The sudden influx of a large number of people of high rank and high amount of resources in the cultivation world would naturally cause quite a stir.

Previously, many beginning cultivators were from either established families who had a fortuitous encounter and managed to compile a working cultivation technique, commoners who had acquired a cultivation technique through a lucky find, military members who had gained their skills from family or fortuitous encounters with local masters or the Jianghu, which may as well be considered to have its own black market in terms of Qi-based martial arts techniques.

Since Qi techniques and cultivation were best acquired really early, anyone who started later than say, fifteen, was automatically assumed to be shit out of luck. The only thing that could counterbalance the late age would be ludicrous amounts of very expensive resources and a master who really valued them.

As such, most of the time if a farmer found anything they couldn't read or signs of a cultivation ruin, they went to the nearest person said to have ties to the Jianghu or cultivators and sold their find or their land for large amounts of quick cash.

Those items in turn were sold off at higher prices to those who could make use of them. In the current economy full of treasure hunters, finds like this tended to start up economic booms.

In short, the Empire was having a great time, and a flourishing economy with brand new resources popping up here and there, a massive hunt (for easter eggs that they didn't know were easter eggs) was ongoing. The optimism was high, the treasure hunting cultivators were cheerfully raiding every single ruin they came across and the vendors of all walks of life were making a mint by selling everything from food to supplies.

In the other side of the Cang Mountain range, other countries... weren't really having a good time. This was because one of the other countries bordered by the mountain range in question was attacking a third. And the third was losing. Oh, it was making the larger country fight for every square inch of land, but it was still losing.

EASTER EGGS

ATDSVT- Yang Dewei Arc
***
Wars are started by many things. Some are started by pride, some by honor, some by lust and some by greed. But in the end, what keeps a war going is the availability of supplies for the army.

In this case, the war that was going on between a certain pair of countries on the other side of the Cang Mountain Range had been started because the second largest of the four countries bordered by that mountain range had wanted to expand its land.

The smaller country, Lingyu Jie, had very fertile land. The larger country, Senlin Guo, had previously had a famine in one of its provinces. It was a nice excuse, right?

Yes, a very nice excuse. Certainly better than a previous 'emperor's blatant interest in the queen of the neighboring kingdom which was the reason for the expansion war of the kingdom several generations ago. (That emperor made her his consort, placing her over the rest of his other concubines the moment he took over their country.)

In truth, the Senlin Guo's ruling family, the Zhong clan, just really wanted to someday rival their much larger neighbor, the Empire, on the other side of the Cang Mountain range. All the small kingdom's ruling families liked to call themselves emperors, but they had no real qualifications. They each had a kingdom, and not an empire. As such, the Zhong family looked at the big picture, harboring ambitions of devouring all the countries on their side of those mountains, all the way to the sea.

Their assault on their neighboring country was a reaction to the Empire's successful conquest of the nomads' territory. Since the estimate of their officials was that the Empire would be quiet for at least three generations in order to digest the great amount of land it had devoured now, this was prime time to go around conquering their neighbors while the Empire concentrated on dividing up and assimilating that much land.

ATDSVT- Yang Dewei Arc
Senlin Guo's emperor, Zhong Feng, had assumed that the conquest of Lingyu Jie would be quickly completed. As such, he had set all seven of his sons to the task of expanding territory, giving each of them an army.

Each of his sons were extremely beautiful, as could be expected when they took after their imperial consort mothers. Of these seven princes, the most competitive and masterful were the fourth prince, Zhong Jing, and the seventh prince, Zhong XiCheng. The fourth prince had acquired his fifth brother, Zhong Tong as an ally. The eldest prince, Zhong Haotian, and the third prince, Tian Ye, were both mediocre. The second and sixth princes, Guangshun and Guanyuan, shared the same mother and were naturally allied. Other than the fifth prince, all the other princes harbored their own plans for the throne.

If the seven hadn't all been set out with armies to take over Lingyu Jie, perhaps the six factions led by six princes would have torn the country apart in vying for the crown.

As it was, Emperor Zhong Feng had stated unequivocally that whoever performed the most meritorious deed of conquest would take the position of crown prince. This statement upended the plans of the eldest prince, who had always assumed that position was his by right.

As a result, all seven princes were expanding the reach of their country, although not all of them chose to attack Lingyu Jie. After all, it wasn't the only Jie country that was available as a target.

In the past, the then-Prince Feng's small force had swallowed entire provinces from a Jie country that had been devastated by droughts and famines and other disasters to the point that its citizens actually fled from those lands to seek shelter in the mountain range. They eventually managed to make that land quite profitable, after crushing that Jie's capital city and getting rid of all the ruling Xie family members they could find.

While it was said that the last member of that family, princess Xie Yu had fled with the last commander, Long Zigui and the remnants of their imperial bodyguard to the mountains, no one had ever found them.... so the point was moot and the country had been administered by Zhong Feng ever since.

ATDSVT- Yang Dewei Arc
Lingyu Jie had held on to its independence with great tenacity.

Its King, Nangong Fa, had once been a warrior of great reknown, studying under a Jianghu sect leader. His sworn brother, Guan Yue, had adopted ten sons, and these ten sons formed the backbone of Lingyu Jie's defense as its ten great generals. King Nangong Fa had a daughter, Siqi, considered the fairest maiden in the country. He was naturally anxious for her safety and had repeatedly requested of his martial nephews to take her away with them if the country could no longer be defended.

Thus far, the people of Lingyu were still quite hopeful of eventual victory.

Of course the war was about to have an unpleasant interruption... for both sides. Several kinds of ferocious Beasts were migrating in search of food. Humans that weren't cultivators certainly counted as food.

While there were certainly many people skilled in Qinggong in both countries, the Jianghu of that area had plenty of sects and many members of the military on both sides were great warriors, the vast majority of the people were sitting ducks on a pond that was about to be invaded by piranhas.

Was it fortunate or unfortunate that some sects of immortal cultivators were interested in the Beast migration? Such a Beast migration meant plentiful Beasts to hunt for their useful parts, cores and essences. It also tended to bring to light any ruins in the massive Beast tide's path, since so many moving monsters tended to tear up the ground, giving any cultivators a two for one deal.

Yang Dewei was one of those immortal cultivators. To be precise, he had decided to hit multiple birds with one stone- first, he would go over to the Cang mountain range to go deal with the bandits who were now rumored to be going around kidnapping beautiful, unmarried young maidens, then he would go over to see what kinds of Beasts were migrating and what interesting things he could acquire from this migration.

If the items that he could find there were interesting enough, he might bring them home by hook or by crook, by trade or, if the item was a Beast or Beast body-part, then by force.
