81 Odd. (1/2)
'It's similar to Su Min's soul!'
She couldn't help but gasp a little, causing the man to ask.
”Is something wrong?”
Wen Mian froze for a second as she attempted to regain her composure. The white-haired man seemed to find it interesting as he looked at his jade and her.
She quickly spoke as she saw this.
”No, sorry, it just reminded me of something.”
The man paused, but seeing no sign of Wen Mian wanting to talk about it, he didn't push for information. He couldn't induce any sort of negative impression, otherwise, she may close herself to him.
”Well, ladies first.”
His eyes narrowed with a strange crimson as he swayed his hand towards the portal. Wen Mian gazed at such a portal for a second, but with a firmed heart, she decided to step in!
*SHIINGGG*
A strange light encompassed her vision as a piercing shining sound blasted her. She found the urge to close her eyes, but for that moment they were open, a strange gold gleamed...
*THUD*
”Agh...”
With a dizzy mind, Wen Mian found herself land on unknown material. It was hard, cold, and metallic.
”This really doesn't seem like a heavenly treasure...”
That vision a few moments before blazed in her mind, finding that the gold resembled the ancient races. But, she somehow felt that there wasn't just gold, but white and black accompanying it as well.
Yet, as she rubbed her eyes and gazed upon the world she had been thrown into, she froze, her eyes widened, and a strange closeness shrouded her heart.
”My bloodline..?”
A plain spread itself out, but within this plain stood a creature gazing right at her. It had a white torso similar to a leopard, and a head like a lion. Its eyes were of a bright oceanic blue, rumbling with a royal aura that could shake the very foundations of anyone's blood.
The ruffled fur; the razor-sharp claws; the teeth shimmering under the blue sun; it all rumbled in her heart. Those eyes too, just like jewels...
”Blue Saber Tiger... What is this place?”
Wen Mian fell a step back as she felt her own blood resonate toward the beast, whom of which felt so too. They stared at each other for a while, but this didn't last long as that beast pronged the ground with its claws and eyed Wen Mian with a newfound light.
*RUMBLE*
A bright blue thrashed the surrounding area as a whirlpool of heavenly energy twirled around the beast. Its colour resembled the ocean, bringing a near deafening sound of crashing waves.
”This beast originates from my bloodline!”
She found the air around her tighten as that beast growled. A killing intent locked onto her, causing Wen Mian to grit her teeth and wave her hand.
”Whatever! It's not like I can't handle this anyway!”
Her eyes shined with a strange blue as the entire world shook. The beast shivered as the whirlpool around it froze. Terror clouded its eyes, but it found that before it could even respond, its vision had grown blue.
”Oceans Might, descend!”
A dense release of heavenly energy wafted out of Wen Mian's palms as she spoke. A faint but overpowering aura blew out of her, clouding the beasts bloodline hundreds of times over. It was obvious that Wen Mian has a much more potent bloodline, in fact, their bloodlines couldn't even be compared...
*WOOOSH*
An ocean of blue descended onto the beast, bringing a dense tumbling shockwave and a cry of death.
*RUMBLE*
Yet, before she could even withdraw such an attack, the world shook and dissipated in view. She found that the world was now somehow cloudy, fogged.
The attack that was still floating there with the dense collection of heavenly energy disappeared without resistance, and soon after, a sign thrashed the ground in front of her.
It had a rough word written on it.
'Shop'
Then, not even waiting for Wen Mian's mind to recollect, a single black jade appeared before her and trembled.
*CATCHAAA*
A shining bolt of golden lightning broke through the sky like the descent of God. Wen Mian felt her body freeze and her mind quake, and before she even knew it, a faint inscription had appeared on the jade in front of her with this flash of gold.
It was the outline of a man, mediating in said gold.
*THUD*
The jade fell as the force controlling it retreated, resounding with a puffing plop.
”This place...”
Wen Mian drooped down and grasped the luke-warm jade. Her hands were still shivering, but she forced it to a halt as she stared at the sign in front of her.
”Let's keep going...”
...
...
...
”Here's you identity jade and talisman.”
With a rather unenthusiastic grumble, a receptionist handed over a black jade talisman. Su Min nodded as he looked over at the gigantic portal, one that made his heart feel heavy.
'I can't see through it...'
A strange annoyance thrummed in his chest as he stood here. In fact, ever since he had entered the pavilion, this feeling only grew. It wasn't dangerous at least, but whatever it was, he knew that this place wasn't something this sect could control.
Just as he was thinking this, a faint scruffle sounded out behind him as a strange gaze pierced his back. Su Min grumbled as he ignored this and leapt toward the portal.
A spirited roar resounded behind him as someone leapt and chased after him.
”Hey, don't run from me! I just want to have a chat, you know...”
Su Min's expression went a little gloomy as he landed next to the portal. He didn't even hesitate to rush into the gigantic abyss in front of him, causing an annoyed shout to resounded as his vision turned to gold.
”HEY-”
