Filled with joy from the events of the evening, Zhang Xiu Ying lay In bed as she softly humd to herself. Soon, her parents would be on their way to beco true immortals when they ford their nascent soul. She wouldn't have to worry much about their eternal being anymore. As long as they endeavor to stay out of trouble and harm's way, they would be able to live for eternity.
Immortality!
Deep in thoughts, the demigod let out a soft breath as her mind wandered back to the proceedings of the forsaken palace. The godly palace she ca upon by pure luck due to her keeping a reasonable awareness on her child's whereabouts. His safety was of utmost importance to her. This decision had been proven right. Or else, how could she have been there for him and the rest, when they were in difficulties. On that, it was a right decision.
It was through this way, that she encountered the forsaken palace.
Ah! The forsaken palace. She closed her eyes as she recollected the events from them leaving the Luduans. With one leg half-way in, she heard the voice of the giant residuum, Darghek.
"Rember, this palace is a spaceti. You will find yourself in different places and if you find yourself in difficult positions, simply exit. May fortune smile on you."
As her right foot landed inside the palace, cold wind rushed to et her face. The wind was, mildly, plucking at her hair as she stepped into the open valley. Her light yellow robe, made from an ember spider's silk and embedded with the lower-grade defensive runes, danced to the rhythm of the cold air.
Quickly adjusting to her surroundings, she slowly looked around, in detail examination of the place.
The place was a small valley yet it felt large to the demigod The dium-sized path she was standing on, led to an old-looking cave at the other end. Even though she didn't feel herself at any risk, she could sense the valley's air had traces of immortal elents.
Suddenly, she had the feeling of being vividly alive and anxious. It was as if her immortal soul was being weighted on a divine scale.
"Immortal transient."
A mont in immortality. Zhang Xiu Ying thought to herself as she lowered her head and indulged herself in the feelings. Briefly, she had the mont of seeing herself through the eyes of the universe.
"All souls can be immortal but not all souls can be divine."
The demigod raised her head as she continued to stand in place, staring at the old cave. Though she was a nascent soul and a demigod for what it ant, she knew a place like this valley, could only be a true immortal place. Should she turn back now or go ahead? Coming to the conclusion of the significance of a place like this, she walked towards the cave. What harm was there to see what was on the other side of the cave? Especially, when there was a certain na she could call to take her to safety.
"Welco to Suorang!"
A chiming voice sounded out from all directions, stopping Zhang Xiu Ying on her track. The echo of the voice continued over the cacophony of the valley, creating a vibrating world of sounds. In a flash, she looked around but couldn't find the location of the voice, only a gathering energy field. From the field, erged a four-feet tall entity with four gossar wings, hovering in the air.
A Saladar fairy.
Fairies! Extrely powerful entities of the Starstride dinsional plane. Their powerful immortal nature was due to the fact they were born as innate bloodline entities like the divine beasts and with a golden core. That was the reason why they were directly used by the celestials to carry out deeds and errands.
"That was a loud voice, right? Yes, I know. I had to put so effect on it to sound like that. It's first-ti effect is impressive. You should have seen your face. Hehe."
"All-right, now back to you, Who are you, and why are you here?"
Just as the demigod was about to reply, she was quickly and swiftly cut off.
"Just joking with you. I know who you are, Asura. And, I know why you are here. A demigod looking for her share of the treasures of the Silent-Seeker. I know that too well but don't get wrong, that's fine by and by you too, I guess. If not, you wouldn't be here. Right?"
The fairy stared at Zhang Xiu Ying in expected confirmation of his words. After recieving a shrug from Reena which he took as an agreent, he continued.
"Very well then. Kindly follow , demigod."
The Saladar fairy made so hand seals before ceading the xemigod into the immortal cave. The sight of the interior made her smile in surprise. The inside of the cave reminded her a little bit of their own cave-house. It was a cave, no doubt, but the inside was an open space that led to two massive stone doors. The place could have passed for a plain if not for a small mildly glowing energy pool to the right of the cave and a designed area to the left.
"I welco you to Suorang, Asura. This was the immortal cave of the highcelestial Silent-Seeker. He left behind many treasures for worthy souls. Most of his treasures had been claid over the years but so still remain. Which one are you here for, Asura? Are you here for his martial arts legacy?"
With gleaming eyes, the Saladar fairy asked Zhang Xiu Ying in anticipation.
"Yes."
Zhang Xiu Ying answered. She had no idea what martial arts legacy the fairy was talking about. But, she would just play along. Though, the thought of having a martial art legacy of a highcelestial was more than appealing.
"The Symphony of the Soaring Sky? At last, after many years, a demigod is here to claim the martial legacy. If only you could see how happy I am for you, Asura. But there'a little problem, Asura. This legacy is behind those doors. All you have to do, is just to pass through those doors to the other side. If you don't mind this, then you need not worry much."
The fairy spread his hands around as he gave a nod to Zhang Xiu Ying.
