The Legendary F Rank

"What are you doing back here? This place is out of bounds." The Old Cultivator asked Haru, who was pushing his now shoulder-length hair out of the way. 

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to take a walk during the night. I got a little lost." Haru said before Li Jun's voice echoed around his head. "I sense remnants of my blood. If I'm correct, then these people should be descendants of my Black Star Sect." 

Li Jun came out from the ring and walked over towards the Old Cultivator and inspected him for a moment. "Who would have thought that I would have disciples in the lower realm. Strange... Did the Dragon Emperor Ring sense my spirit and then fall into their sect?"

Haru was surprised at the sight. Li Jun was right in front of the Old Cultivator, but he didn't see him at all. Li Jun looked back over to Haru. "Oh, don't worry about me. As long as you are wearing that ring, I can conceal my presence inside it. Cultivators of this level won't even sense me, let alone see me."

The Old Cultivator then spoke once again. "We already contacted your parents. This is troublesome. Come on, I will guide you back to your teacher." Haru then followed the Cultivator back down the forest path to meet up with his classmates. Li Jun floated along through the air beside Haru.

"Haru!!! There you are! Do you know how worried I was about you!" Miss Fujima ran over and hugged him. "Wait, why is your hair long... And your clothes... Haru, what are you wearing?" She asked as the rest of his class looked at him in confusion. 

"Ah, I..." Haru didn't know what to say. How would he explain anything to them? Before the old man from the party walked up to Haru with one of the men in the black suits. "You fell into a pool inside of a cave, didn't you?" The old man asked as the man in the black suit began to translate.

Haru didn't need a translator, as his Chinese had gotten better after only speaking to Li Jun for a whole year inside the array. "Ah, Yeah I fell inside the pool last night and these clothes were in there. I put them on because mine were wet and I didn't want to catch a cold." He explained to the old man.

Haru's classmates were now even more confused. When did Haru learn Chinese? He was almost fluent. The man in the black suit also seemed surprised. The old man walked over to Haru before looking down at his hand and catching a glimpse of the Dragon Emperor Ring. 

"Dragon... Ring. Your name was Haru, right? Please come with me." The old man took Haru's arm and they both vanished into thin air.

Miss Fujima and the rest of her class began to freak out. "Where is he taking my student!?" She shouted in outrage to the man in the black suit. 

He began to back up as Miss Fujima was advancing towards him pointing her finger. 

"It's okay. The Elder just wants to talk in private. The cave pool is important to us cultivators. It can have side effects on people who don't cultivate so he needs to make sure he is okay... I think..." The man blurted out in a panic as Miss Fujima erupted into a rage.

"You think!? That is not good enough, so go and make sure! And then come back here and tell me about it!" She shouted at him. The man submitted out of fear of her getting angrier. "Ah, yes miss right away!" He then ran off towards the elder hall.

Haru arrived inside a huge room. The ceiling was around twelve meters tall and had eight solid gold pillars were holding up the roof. The room was longer than it was wide and on the other side, there were three old men sat upon thrones talking to each other casually until they noticed they weren't alone.

"Ohh, it's just you little Mo. And who is this child?" One of the old men said as the other two smiled. "Ah, Sect Master. This boy is in possession of a golden ring shaped like a dragon."

Not even a millisecond went by before the old man appeared in front of Haru. "Everyone, leave us to talk." He said whilst looking down at Haru's hand. 

"Yes, Sect Master." All of the men disappeared from where they were immediately. Li Jun was still floating around behind Haru when he noticed something. "Oh, this is really unexpected."

"Where did you find this ring?" The Sect Master asked Haru with a serious face. Haru tensed up within his presence as he began to feel blood lust leak out from the man In front of him.

"It's okay let me do the talking." Li Jun said before revealing himself before the Sect Master.

The Sect Master tensed up as Li Jun came into his view. "No… Surely It can't be." Li Jun Began to smile. "You know who I am don't you?" He asked the sect master. 

He nodded his head with his face now becoming pale before dropping to his knees with tears in his eyes. "Great-grandpa! I never thought I would see you again." The sect master began to weep at the sight of Li Jun.

"It's okay little Shen. How is your grandfather doing? Is he still alive?" Li Jun asked the sect master who was now a weeping mess on the floor.

"Sorry, great-grandpa. Grandpa died around a thousand years after you left. It was all my fault and I was banished to the lower realms by the sect elders." The sect master began to cry even more as he recalled his memories.

"Little Shen it is okay. If your grandfather sacrificed himself for you it shows his love for you. And I bet he would do it a million times over if he could save you. But more importantly… Why are you so weak? You grew old. What are you? Eighty thousand at most? You look ancient. Come here." Li Jun said to the sect master. 

Li Jun held out his finger and placed it on the head of the sect master. As soon as his finger touched. The sect master was enveloped into a golden light before his body slowly grew younger. His white hair faded to black, his body developed muscle mass and the wrinkles from his skin disappeared completely.

By the time the light had died down, the sect master now looked like he was in his early twenties. Haru was shocked once again. He regained his youthfulness with just the touch of a finger. The sect master slowly got to his feet and looked down at his hands before touching his face.

"Great-grandpa. You just… You are the best!" The sect master rushed over to hug Li Jun but just as his arms wrapped around him. Li Jun walked right through him. "No, thank you. Even if you are my great-grandson, I don't accept hugs from men." The sect master fell to the floor as Li Jun walked around the hall.

The sect master then stood up suddenly and tried to use his Qi. "Um… Great-grandpa. Why have I lost most of my cultivation?" The sect master asked whilst he was shaking with fear and excitement. Li Jun stopped for a moment. "Don't tell me you have gone senile after all this time? You have returned to origin."

"Huh… You mean I… I have returned to origin?! I can't believe it! I have a second chance at life! I might be able to return home!" The sect master began to freak out as Li Jun looked around at all the things inside the room and inspected the weapons on display. 

He then took a sword from a rack and began to swing it around and then threw it at Haru. "Here keep this." Haru looked down at the sword, sensing unimaginable amounts of Qi flowing throughout the blade.

"Hey little Shen. Do you have any Law inscriptions?" Li Jun asked the sect leader, who was touching his body all over and giggling like a mad man.

"Law inscriptions? Yeah, why? I thought you had already mastered all of the laws?" The sect master asked whilst rubbing his cheek. 

"Well, obviously I have mastered them. I need them for my disciple over there." Li Jun pointed towards Haru, who was confused with what had happened. Li Jun barely opened up about his past before today. All he talked about was training Haru and explaining techniques to him. 

'Who was this man and what exactly was his power?' Haru thought.

"Little Shen pays his respects to the first disciple." The sect leader got to his knees and bowed down toward Haru. 

"Wait! Stop. You are thousands of years older than me there is no need to pay so much respect to me." Haru panicked and tried to hide his embarrassment. When suddenly the main flew open.

"Where is my grandson?!"
