Raising his head, Liuxiang regarded the ancestral beast whose grandmother had started their clan, and entire bloodline. The origin of the Shie, and poison Qi.“We seek wisdom, Eldest. A trial has brought us to you in the spirit realm,” Zhi Zhu spoke, manifesting upon Liuxiang’s shoulder from his dantian.The snake's massive eye turned towards the spider, a single slit reflecting the two of them within it. Mist gathered around the snake, accompanied by a wave of Qi that flowed towards the massive creature.Liuxiang cycled his Qi, struggling to hold his ground against the pouring winds that flowed in. He watched as the serpent was soon covered entirely in a green fog.With a sudden pulse, the green mist collapsed towards the ground, the serpent's body disappearing.“It has been decades since we had to take this form,” a woman’s voice spoke, sending a chilling wave of cold through her surroundings.Liuxiang watched a beautiful cultivator walk through the mist. Skin whiter than snow itsel

Taking a deep breath, Liuxiang rushed towards the inner walls of the courtyard. To the place he had once called home.The path passed by quickly, as Liuxiang rushed through the massive courtyard. Trusting his memory, he made his way unseen through the inner walls. Walking more slowly now, Liuxiang began to follow the path based on faint memory as he explored the clan grounds.Poison Qi filled the area, little denotations of serpents and their ancestor marking every nook and cranny, alongside the symbol of the Shie clan itself.Liuxiang walked aimlessly, taking in the sights. Memories of a forgotten childhood returned to him.“Has anyone seen the young mistress?” a voice called out. Liuxiang turned to see a woman wearing servant clothing walking around.“Isn’t the young mistress playing with your son?” another servant spoke to the woman.“I had left them in the courtyard inside, but I can’t see them anywhere now. The Master is calling for the young mistress,” the woman exclaimed.Quick

Yan Yun felt her breath tighten, as she gazed upon the rising figure of the dragon, and the crashing tribulation welling in the sky. Her clothes were drenched from the pouring storm covering all of seventh peak, and the mortals now stood behind formations meant to protect them from the harsh wind and lightning of the tribulations as they remained with their heads bowed.The past half an hour had been strange, as the entire arena had gone silent, losing track of everyone currently inside the trial. The scene had shifted to a display by the sect instead, as the participants went through the secluded enclosure.Then all of sudden, the world had shuddered, as a tribulation had rumbled around the sky. A moment later, all of Seventh Peak watched a soaring dragon rising into the sky, and heading head first towards the heavenly tribulation and then beyond.She looked around at the mortals and cultivators alike, bowing their heads in respect as the dragon soared into the Heavens themselves.

I wasn’t sure what correlation was with endless dark spaces and life changing revelations but there certainly was something in there.The last I was in an endless dark abyss, I learnt that I had a soul twin, aka, the previous inhabitant of my body. This time, I got to know that the previous inhabitant was cut off during childhood. And that we’re the same person.Does this officially mean that I have a personality disorder now? My other half even fits the criterias for a murderhobo as well.I let random stray thoughts distract me for a moment, but I knew that it wouldn’t last. I could sense my other half, stirring within my soul, as I stared nervously at the flowing fog in front of me. The images hadn’t ended yet, and I wasn’t sure I had the courage to see any more of them.Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes. It would be strange to do this alone. Not after everything I’d seen.I focused my senses inwards, towards my core.Gently, I tried to call forth Yuan, and with surprising ease,

I stared at the Kirin standing in front of me, confused.“Do you not sense the sprout within your soul? The deep pool of essence that fills your soul? The thing tying you two cores together, preventing a horrifying death at any given moment?” the Kirin asked, glancing towards me.“I… do?” I replied, before pushing my senses inwards. The familiar little sprout at the core of my dantian reached out to me, in my senses.“Indeed. The fragile little sprout born between your soul. Born from the partial union of Order and Chaos.”“Partial?” I asked the Kirin.The majestic creature glanced towards Zhao Haisheng. Its mane flowed as it jumped up into the sky, landing at the boy.“You would understand. What is lacking,” the Kirin said, leaning in close to Zhao Haisheng’s face. Zhao Haisheng turned his eyes away, not meeting them with mine.“Hold on, I’m getting incredibly confused. Can you please explain why or how Twilight got here? Let’s start from there,” I said, patting Twilight sitting on m
