Three more years have passed since Victor did his first experiment on me, as time passed and my age grew his experiments became worst and worst. At first it was just cutting my body to see how fast I would heal he wanted to know what changes that ancient blood made to me but his level and power was too high so I had no other way but to endure I could not hide anything because if he noticed my powers things would get much worse.
When I was about 2, he started giving me different poisons by that time my blood was already not red but silver just like the liquid they put in me, of course they tried to study it but for some reason anyone who tried to take my blood were hit by the lightning and died. Same happened when they tried to check my status anyone who tried to look at my status became blind or plain stupid some even instantly blew up.
So, in the end they give up at least for now. Of course, they did not stop there, Victor started opening my organs and moving them around, cutting then burning to see how fast my organs would recover he tried different combinations of torture.
One time he skinned my hand layer after layer until my bones were visible then waited for me to recover and started again.
Now I am four years old, I don't talk much and slowly became numb to the pain. I can feel that I am slowly losing something important but honestly, I could not care less. When Victor notices that I don't feel pain from one torture he comes up with the new, more painful ones.
From all that pain my status rises.

'after 8 years I will be 12 exactly after all today is my birthday so I have to plan everything well. I don't want to stay here for that long'
'that reminds me since today is my birthday Victor will for sure be giving me his usual gift, birthday experiment.'
Experiments on my birthday are always worst of the worst, special as Victor calls them. And just as I thought someone came.
"Victor is waiting for you, hurry up."
I get up and follow the man, I already know that in my current state there is no way I can get out of this.
Victor greeted me with his usual creepy smile.
"Today I have a very special gift for you. I am sure you're going to like it. We are going to open up your veins so you can start cultivation." He said all of this with a smile, while I looked at him in horror.
'This is nothing to be happy about it is common sense that one can't start cultivating till age 7. Upper realms managed to bring age to 5 if one used lot of precious herbs and potions. Everyone knows that starting cultivation early could lead to crippling, death, or brain damage even using precious herbs it is impossible to do this at age 4 moreover I don't think this guy will use them on me.'
"you are after all so amazing, I am sure you will be able to do this." He said again with a smile." Now sit in that tub or you might get hurt." There was a threat in his voice it was not 'you might get hurt' it was 'you will get hurt'.
I had no other choice, I needed to go with this, blame me for not being strong enough.
'I need to get stronger as soon as possible or impossible I will use this chance and cultivate. It will help me break away from this place, I will survive.' As I was immersed in my own thoughts, they already started chanting to open up my veins and within minutes pain that I've never felt before came over me, it was more painful than silver blood injection, many times more painful.
The lower realm, Azurel great forest, ghost valley
A person was climbing up from ghost valley.
"To think lower realm had such a place, I don't have time to stay here. I need to hurry back. The guardian spirit said I has been 4 years since coming here. I need to quickly find out what happened."
De Laval family house.
"You are finally out of seclusion master" servant that looked in his 30ies bowed down to a handsome man who looked like he was in his 50ies.
"Yes. What happened when I was not around?"
"well" servant hesitated for a bit
"what is it? say clearly!" Man ordered with a momentum.
Suddenly voices were heard outside. And both men went out.
"What's going on?" A man in his 30ies asked seeing so many people suddenly rushing to the same direction.
"Ah sir Lapis. Master you're out of seclusion."
"What's going on why is everyone rushing to the same direction?" Lapis asked.
"They array we use to move between upper and lower realm was activated. Someone is coming from that side."
"What someone is coming from that side?" Lapis to had a shocked expression and started to rush in the same direction as other people but faster.
Old master understood something was not right but seeing the urgency decided not to ask for now.
'Something major must have happened while I was not here.'
In a few seconds someone could be seen coming from an array portal that connected two realms.
When the air cleared up and everyone saw who it was, they all had a disbelief written on their faces.
"Master you are alive" Lapis finally managed to say something.
