“You’re amazing! Wow… I’m kinda jealous. I love Mei, but I wanted a cool ability too. I know I shouldn’t say that since it’s a new kind of Chi and everything but…” Taiyin trailed off.“New kind of Chi?” Flee asked, curiously.“Yeah! Apparently it’s very rare. I met someone else who also had one! Her name was Yan Yun. She’s been teaching me some things. I only just found out about it. The elder just came to me one day and just asked me to come with him. I was so scared, but he’s nice. He told me I have an ability that’s not been seen before, and they’re trying to study it,” Taiyin replied.Flee looked at the girl in surprise. She knew her Great Master had been doing a lot of things, and that many of the kids also had Chi now, but somehow it felt a little bad to know that someone who just got Chi awakened something new before even she did.Turning around, Flee went back to her book. “Flee needs to cultivate,” she said, taking her seat again.“Okay!” Taiyin exclaimed, and for a moment Fl

I walked through the village of Taizhou, which was now a lot emptier. Not every villager had moved to the city; some still remained, looking after their homes and working. But most of those who remained were people who were under my sect, or had work related to it and could get the necessary security all the way out here. Almost everyone else had moved to the city, in fear of the demonic beasts, leaving the village silent and still.It had snowed last night, covering the village in a sheen of white. I could sense the life throughout this place, trying to preserve whatever warmth it could, snuggled underneath the embrace of the earth.Spirit animals roamed around, some noticing my presence and walking closer. Many had gone into hibernation, knowing the threat the demonic beasts that winter represented.There was a strange kind of beauty in this landscape, even within harsh winters. I was more aware now than ever before of how life persevered, how it maintained, and how it kept going, n

After a few seconds passed without much change, I asked, "Is something the matter?"Yin shook her head. "Just watch; it's starting," she said. I saw the plants begin to move first, withering as if turning sick. But then the demonic herb began to change the color of the earth that it sat on, slowly seeping into the regular plant. Its leaves began to gain bright red spots, purple veins running up its body, and within moments, the plant had turned into a demonic-looking herb as well.“Does that always happen?” I asked."Not always. Some plants die, but it happens often enough that out of every 10, roughly 4 change, becoming something entirely new. Suitable to an environment filled with miasma," Yan replied."We've been looking at the demonic beasts as well. Besides the wolves, there have been other creatures coming up from further within the cave, seeking the Gu present. It has taken us some time to get used to their presence, but Ash keeps them in check, and we eventually managed to do

I walked towards Ash, petting the giant wolf on his head. I could feel the Gu pulsing inside of him. It was shallower now, his ties to the earth and the energy of death weakening as he spent more and more time above the surface. There was no danger of Ash losing his abilities, but I could tell that his spirit was growing weaker, albeit very slowly.I didn’t need to speak; I simply sent my words to the wolf’s mind, my intent conveying itself to him.Ash looked up at me, dark eyes showing trust. I had seen the same look before, from Zhang, Flee, and others who I cared so much for. It filled my heart every time and made my back heavy from the burden of it.“Change is natural. With you, we change as well,” Ash spoke, his words resonating through my mind. It was hard to describe what the bond between a spirit and a human felt like. But if I had to put it into words, it was akin to a thread made out of love and empathy that both sides extended forward and bound together to create a single r

Silver flames engulfed the wolf, torrents of Qi swirling around him as Ash began to change. I felt the rising torrents of energy, the resonance in my spirit growing stronger and stronger as the cave around me began to shake from its influence. I could feel my spirit stretching, the pain starting to break my resistance.The two laws shivered and shook, starting to meld into one. For a brief moment, I forgot everything, simply marveling at the intersection as I caught a glimpse of something greater hanging in front of me. Then the vision shattered as I felt my spirit cave. The Qi rushed back at me in a powerful backlash, shaking my spirit.I coughed up blood, bending over as my body heaved from the energy. The flames vanished from around Ash, the wolf collapsing as well.Yan rushed next to me, holding my shoulder as she looked on in panic. “Heavens! Yuan - are you alright?” she asked, holding me up as I gathered myself. Slowly regaining control, I wiped the blood from my mouth, feeling

I sat in front of the old man feeling a little strange. It had been some time since I had taken a lesson like this from him. Certainly not after the reunification of the two halves of my spirit. The mixture of those memories almost made it feel like this was a third entirely new and separate me that sat here once again.Unaware of my thoughts, the old man continued, his long sleeves trailing behind him as they often did, while he flipped through a myriad of books that sat in his chamber until he found the one that he wanted to show me."Look, Yuan, do you see this pill?" He asked me, showing me the recipe of a pill that I wasn't terribly familiar with, but I knew enough."I do," I said to the old man. "It is a spirit-mending pill meant for stabilizing the spirit of a cultivator after it has suffered from backlash from a technique gone wrong or from an outside attack," I replied smoothly, feeling just a little proud of myself for remembering that detail which I had studied months ago.

“I’m… not sure,” I replied, looking at the old man.The old man gave a nod. “And that is alright. The ways of the heavens are mysterious, and these are not questions we find the answer to immediately,” he said. “Let me ask you this instead. Why does simply water and earth infused with Qi turn the spirit of those with spirit wounds calm and stabalises their mind?”“Because Earth Qi has a grounding effect? And water can mellow things?” I replied.“Yes, but does that mean? Why does simple earth and water Qi do this?” The old man asked.I thought over it for a few seconds. “It’s because… earth can disperse Qi, and water can conduct Qi, and together, they distribute it evenly?”The old man nodded. “And does this balance the spirit of those who eat this pill?” He asked.“No, because they have an excess of Earth and Water Qi in their body now,” I replied.“And yet, it stabalises their spirit,” the Old man said, now smiling.“The answer to my question, Yuan, is not one I can give you. But the

Endless dark surrounded me, infinite and unending. A familiar sight. I opened my eyes, feeling an innate connection to where I was standing. My spirit, and my dantian. Space seemed to lose concept in this place, directions seemingly meaningless. Yet despite that, I could tell where to turn and look to find the anchor of my spirit.A giant golden spirit ring circled in the dark abyss of my spirit, flashing golden light into its surroundings. Around the gold, was a silver ring, humming with a quiet thrum. The Two Laws. The Two Truths anchored into my very soul.I looked back down, at the darkness again. It had once been a home for me, a terrible and cold one, yet home nonetheless. Faint memories swirled in my mind. Just how long had I spent in here? The entire period of time felt like a distant dream lost to the waking world, only there in quiet whispers that echoed at the back of my mind, and yet I found my heart ache as I stood here, watching the ruins of what had once been my entire

I felt eyes settle onto me, their weight heavy. “He lost his path, when he learned the truth. He rejected it, abandoning us as he left.”“What’s the truth?”“We cannot say. You are not ready. Not yet. And… your Path is incomplete, and weak. If you were to learn the truth… your spirit would cave under it’s weight.”“Right, and you’re afraid I’ll lose my Path as well?” I asked.“We do not know. You are… different from that child. Less gifted in many ways, but more in some. We did not guide you like we guided him. You found us on your own.”“Thanks? That feels a little insulting somehow, but thanks,” I said, before putting my hand on the tree’s branch. I felt the chi flowing under it, a gentle stream of energy that pulsed with the beat of my heart.“What’s your name?” I asked, looking at the tree. “You should have one, right?”“We do not have names, child,” the spirit said, and for a moment, I could see the silhouette of a giant creature in front of me.“Really? That’s a shame,” I said.

I walked around the library, picking book after book before starting to look through each one. There didn’t seem to be any logical sequence in which the books themselves were arranged, with all sorts of different books distributed around at random.The funniest part? Everytime I picked up the book and looked at the memory within, it would shift and alter ever so slightly, adjusting and shifting. Nothing important, or nothing that would impact the events within the memory. But if someone wore green clothings, it would change to blue.Strangeness of this place aside, I continued to walk around, guided by my gut feelings. Although this place had no order, it was still my own spirit and will. As long as I moved with a purpose in mind, I didn’t really need to know where I was going, and I’d arrive at the place I needed to be.This time I was searching for memories of my time in school. The studies that I did, and the courses I read. A part of me wanted this place to just give me perfect re
