Chapter 121: Worries Of A Demigod [4] (2/2)

The importance of mystical elements couldn't be emphasized enough. They had direct connection to the soul of a cultivator through the Chi essence. The nature and appearance of the nascent soul would reflect the mystical elements of the cultivator. The more a cultivator advances in the mystical arts, the more conditioned the soul would become for cultivation.

As they continued to meditate, they started to feel the power of the fruit's energy growing stronger in their core. Then, all of a sudden, a red flaming essence materialized around Zhang Li Qiang. The essence continued to get denser and thicker until it finally encased Aodh in a cocoon. Few minutes later, Zhang Wang Jing too was covered in a cocoon of flaming essence.

The demigod, who was sitting on the knoll-top, looking at her parents, smiled widely at their transformations. This would make their mystical arts much more stronger than before. Their ancestral mystical art was the Infernal beast technique. Zhang Xiu Ying, remembering her own nascent soul creation of a tall figure cladded in feathered armor with large flaming phoenix wings, could only wait in anticipation. They wouldn't form their nascent souls this day, they would have to advance to the nascent soul stage first. Their conditioned souls would make that easier.

”However...”

She frowned at the thought of their impending tribulations inorder for them to reach the nascent soul immortality. For now, they would have to take their cultivation slowly until they were fully prepared for the heavenly tribulations.

”They would be ready.”

Zhang Xiu Ying spoke out softly into the dark night, nodding her head. She was about to lowered her head when she saw the flaming essence converged on her father before dispersing outwardly.

Her father floated into the midair before executing the Heavenly Dragon Stance move of his Dragon-Inferno technique. A bit surprised, Zhang Xiu Ying was still staring at the manifested move when her mother's cocoon of flaming essence was dispersed too. Her sight was grazed by powerful energy coming from the manifested flaming giant eagle claws.

Titan's torso!

Filled with joy from the events of the evening, Zhang Xiu Ying lay In bed as she softly hummed to herself. Soon, her parents would be on their way to become true immortals when they formed 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 came 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.

”Remember, this palace is a spacetime. 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 meet 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 medium-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 elements.

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 moment in immortality. Zhang Xiu Ying thought to herself as she lowered her head and indulged herself in the feelings. Briefly, she had the moment 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 meant, 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 name she could call to take her to safety.

”Welcome 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, emerged a four-feet tall entity with four gossamer wings, hovering in the air.
