A few days after that matter in the Palace Azief is back on the cave, on to form his disk. Floating around him is five sabers.
He sighed.
"I already left orders to Xu Chong with my seal. If anything unexpected happen, he would know what to do"
Then he smiles for a bit. He remembers Katarina. He did not forget his promise. When spring comes he would come. He sent a message to her after he finished meeting the representatives.
He said after he is finished with some matter he would come to Moscow and bring her to where the flower tree blossom.
Azief has found out certain thing after he contemplated on the matter of the sabers and the difference in time. He believes that this time would be different.
He is betting on it. And he hoped his bet work out. Otherwise….there would be one girl that would be pretty p.i.s.sed
He smiles a bit and shakes his head. He did not know why every time he thinks of her face he smiles.
Then come to think of it again, he probably already knew why.
He just didn"t want to say it.
What do you call a relations.h.i.+p where both of them won"t mind to die for each other? To sacrifice everything for each other?
Whatever between them…it is certainly isn"t just friends.h.i.+p. It is more than that. But then he thinks of Sofia….and he knows his heart still beats for her.
This is why his feeling…is so conflicted. And then he remembers Azul. Azul in his life kills the woman he loved and lives a life of regret.
Regret so strong, that he embedded that regret in his saber.
Even though he is certainly one of the greatest figures in the Universe, in the end he still could not sever regret.
And Azief also deduce something else about the purpose of the sabers and that Laws that shrouded and covered him when he first enter the saber.
That illusionary world…..might not be as illusionary as he thought.
And Azief don"t think he was the first one that enters the sabers. But Azief could not stop either.
After all he has already started. And it is not his style to left something unfinished. Whether it would be a failure or success…he must see it to the end.
He then sighed
"I hope I am making the right decisions and not wasting my time with this"
Putting it behind his back now, clearing his mind of any disturbing thoughts he look in front of him.
Azief look at the floating sabers and traces his finger on one of the sabers. He reads the inscription and then said
"Changes Are Common, Don"t Resist It. Let Things Flow Naturally. Unlocking The Secret Of The Bodies, With One Slash Sever The Covetous Heart."
Azief ponder these words. He traces those unintelligible character with his finger hoping it would answers
"What is the covetous heart? What did you covet?" He asks the sabers. But the sabers keep floating there, offering no answers.
Azief has begun a little bit understanding of Azul task. The words on the sabers could also be considered a hint.
He then look at his finger and pointed his index finger and a heaven sundering auras come out of his finger slas.h.i.+ng time and intangible concept around him.It causes the energy around him to be in chaos, in imbalance and mess up the order.
"Hmm...this finger attack is very powerful. I could disrupt energy, and even at times cut Time, Destiny and Cause and Effect…and if this is only one saber…when all six sabers abilities merged into my body….what path will I be walking?"
Azief felt a familiar aura when he was talking to the lingering will of Azul. He hoped this time he could deduce what that aura is.
He then shakes his head, takes a deep breath and then grabs the hilt of the Dragon Giving Life Saber and shouted in his mind
"REFINE!"

THE DEMONIC REALM OF ASURAS AND RAKSHASA
BORDER OF THE THREE THOUSAND WORLDS AND THE DEMONIC REALM
WOMANLY DEMONIC NATION
Sitting on her throne, there is a Queen sitting all above others. She is closing her eyes as her maidservants of female demons is playing musical instrument.
Thousands and thousands of female maidservants plays all kinds of musical instrument and weirdly none of them go out of tune and contradict the tune of others.
These maidservants also come from many races. There is the Imp race, Demonic race, some Asgardians and some Olympians. But there were also many form Beast race.
And ruling over all of them is that person sitting on her throne. Elegant, beautiful, and enchanting.
The fluttering of her eyes could incite any man, her clothes were so beautiful it was like it was crafted from the clouds of the Heavens.
Her eyes are as clears as the Spring of Wisdom in Asgard and her beauty could rival Aphrodite of Olympus.
That is the Demonic Queen of the Womanly Demonic Nation. No one knows her name and even if they knew not many dares speak her name.
And she even had forgotten her name.
As the music grows louder, the desolation in her heart seems to grow wider. She down a few of drinks, some of ambrosia, some of it Soma from the Loka of the Asuras but nothing seems to be able to make her drunk and forgot the pain in her heart.
Instead of forgetting her name, it is more accurate to say she did not want to remember it.
Her real name is Zinar, a normal woman of human-like creatures unlike those being on Earth before she turns into what she was, a full demonic being of immeasurable power.
When her heart was broken by a man in the mortal world, she cultivated to seek revenge.
By now, she did not remember whether she cultivated because of revenge or because of longing.
She didn"t even know now, whether she still hated that man or loves him
But in the mortal world, long before she became the Queen of the Womanly Demonic Nation, her talents are bad, her const.i.tution is also trash and she seems to lose all hope.
It wasn"t until she encounter a temple in a deep dark forest and made a deal with that temple that her talent burst through the Heavens and shocking the world.
She in a hundred years reaches the apex of her world. But that person has ascended even higher than her.
To seek revenge, she couldn"t. To even seek him, she is unqualified. Six paths of reincarnation, not even in one reincarnation she is in his heart
So, she erected this Nation near the border of the Three Thousand Worlds and the Demonic Realm.
She did not know whether it is because she hopes that person will come here, or hope to trap him if he ever came down from the Source Wall.
Because of her wanton slaughter around the stars near her nation, she was once hunted by Erlang heavenly soldiers and the Jade Emperor even come out of his Jade Palace to hunt her.
At the time however, the Demon Emperor come out from his Infernal Realm and fought off the Jade Palace.
She was then appointed as one of the Demonic Generals and holds the banner of the Red Spear in her kingdom
Now, she is a Queen of a nation, ruling a large army, and n.o.body dares to match eyes with her. She is powerful. She had riches and she could get any man she wants.
But the man she wants is not here, and didn"t want her.
So no matter how many men in front of her, she is never happy and she was never satisfied. The emptiness sin her heart only seems to be wider and wider.
All the riches in the Universe, all the power she could commands, none of it as important as that feeling in her heart.
She was listening to the songs and music and her eyes seem to fills with tears.
"Azul" she whispered
