The To-do List

Memories

In the dead forest, Raizel stood, his entire body shuddering from deep pain. He had tried not to think too deeply about anything since he woke up but it seemed like a dam had opened and the onslaught of emotions and memories of the past refused to be stopped.

They drifted and floated within his mind.

Six hundred years ago, the Terra World encountered a calamity. The core of the Devil World was collapsing and they needed a similar world to theirs to migrate or at least they needed the core of a world. The Terra Realm was the closest and war began.

As the Devil Realm got closer to its destruction, their attacks grew more frenzied, the battles long and desperate but it was the news that the Devil King was attempting to advance to the Dao Transcendence level that drove the cultivators to despair.

It was a matter of great importance and so the most elite cultivators had been gathered. 49 cultivators in total. They were divided into 7 teams. It had all been in vain

They had completely underestimated what it means for the core of a world to be collapsing. Within a week, only the seven captains were remaining and they lost contact with Terra.

First, it had been Alisa, Terak had gone next. Old Su went missing along with his life jade and the twins Carlos and Bree died before they reached their destination.

In the end, it was just Lucas and him. Raizel tried to suppress the heartrending pain in his chest and lungs. He had always been protecting Lucas but in the end..in the end…

"Raizel...Raizel, so you can look desperate as well. T...This is it, I really want to tell you something for a long time but I can't...don't want to be selfish now."

Lucas coughed, his face twisted in pain, spitting out black blood. "Poison! As expected of the last boss..really strong"

Raizel desperately tried to feed him some pills, simultaneously using his spiritual energy to scan his body but he just broke through, he did not have enough control. His eyes felt hot and stung terribly. 

Lucas laughed weakly, "To think I would see Senior Martial Brother make this kind of face. What are you going to do without me?

After the Sect Master left, Raizel nodded to the young man and turned to leave for his room.

The youth, Lucas blocked his way and Raizel could detect flames in his red eyes. His fists were tightened and his eyes were focused on Raizel without hiding or showing any weakness.

"My name is Lucas Aldine. Senior Martial Brother's name has echoed across the Seven Seas but it has always been my dream to be the Eldest Senior Brother of White Peak Sect. In this, I hope Senior Martial Brother will not blame me." 

Raizel watched the young man, Master always said he should accommodate and encourage his juniors. 

"En. Work hard."

___

Raizel watched his junior brother practise the first move of the White Peak Bone Shattering Fist.

"You are doing it wrong." 

"The White Peak Bone Shattering Fist is not about power. It is about vibration. You must learn to control your spiritual essence well in order to utilize the skill. Consistency. If the vibration frequency is consistent, then resonance will occur, and this vibration will be transmitted to the interior of the enemy and shatter it."
