Wudang: Legends Of Qi Earth 93 Forge Iv : Anya

So far the cavern had been really dark, after all they were underground and only a few things gave off light, an example would probably be the diamond crystals growing from the top of the cavern. But they were open Dantian realm cultivators, even if the training of this realm isn't really focused on their body, they still have excellent sensory abilities, which meant seeing things in the dark wasn't that much of a problem for them. However the moment they went into the cave, they had to squint their eyes as said cave or rather tunnel was lit up by a variety of symbols that were actually moving.

It was the brightest they've seen ever since they fell down that hole, and it was a bit searing to their eyeb.a.l.l.s. When they finally got acclimated to the new source of light, they noticed that the symbols themselves were figure like hieroglyphics, much like the once used in ancient Egypt, however these ones were more of a painting than a formal language. The symbols seemed to be telling a story, one that seemed filled with tragedy and pain and agony and horrors, they would have loved to study it, Alex especially, but the raft was moving really fast, too fast.

*Splas.h.!.+*

A huge spray of water brought them back to reality as they realized that the raft was moving too fast, or rather it could be said that the currents around the boat seems to have gotten crazy as it surgery through the underground river. There was nothing steady about this ride as Alex, Louis and Yun Fao had to hold on tightly to the last and edges of the raft so as not to fall off. With the symbols as a source of light, it was enough for them to see that there was more to the eyes than what they first thought, and Louis's reactions spoke volumes of the shock they all felt.

"Guys! There's a bunch of water women pus.h.i.+ng our boat! Errr our raft? Ahhhhh so pretty, so pretty!" Alex's eyes widened in shock as Louis seems to be sliding off the boat to fall into the river, Alex quickly jumped on his friend's body, closing both his and Louis's eyes as he pulled him back from the edge of the raft.

"Louis! Yun Fao don't look at them and don't listen to anything they're singing or saying! They're sirens!"

EMEI SECT

SERENE BLOSSOM VALLEY

ANYA

The golem in front of her was too though to beat, though so far she's been trying hitting more than it has been hitting her, which quite frankly was an improvement. After all it wasn't easy for someone at the peak of the open Dantian realm to battle a golem built for the true element realm, and so far it seems like Anya was holding her ground.

She crouched down on the ground, her brown skin glistening in sweat as she focused on the golem made from pure silver steel in front of her. There was a ma.s.sive broad sword half a meter wide and two meter long on her back, way taller than she was and heavier too, but even at that she was keeping up. Held snugly in her hands were two ornately designed chakrams, one look at those pair of deadly weapons. They were pitch black, with saw like edges that gleamed a b.l.o.o.d.y flaming red. However even with how dangerous they looked it was obvious the pair of weapons even the broad sword on her back was not completed, they seem to make any array of any sort.

About three miles away, on a hill overlooking the valley where Anya was having her training, two devastatingly beautiful women stood side by side; watching as Anya went through such a deadly exercise ad schedule. Normally such a ridiculous kind of training would not be allowed, but this young woman from the dark continent had ran roughshod over every challenge and challenger thrown her way, no one in her realm of the true essence realm above her could defeat her, only someone at the true element realm can truly give her the challenge she needs.

"She's a 1 in a billion genius Abbess, which means in this world, there's only 7 such people like her... it's a shame that she's not a full disciple of our Emei sect. The ability to fight two whole realms above you is not just legendary, it's monstrous. She's not jumping levels Abbess! She's jumping realms! If we lose her then I'm afraid we're going to regret it forever." One of the women; a lady that looked in her late twenties with hair that stretched all the way to her ankles and dressed in a light purple robe said to an older looking, but still very beautiful woman.

"I know that Chong Mei, however Anya was given to us by the Wudang sect and not just the Wudang sect, but the Zhang clan as a manner of Goodwill for the student exchange program, even the young mistress of the house who, need I remind you is just as talented as the young woman down there. Eventually they will both have to return home."

"I understand what you're saying Abbess, but she's not the young mistress of the Zhang clan, she's a n.o.body, from nowhere! I believe there's a way we can have her fully within the grasps of the Emei sect without fear of retaliation from Wudang, heck Wudang will side with us, it's the Zhangs we might have to worry about." The purple clothed woman said.

"The Zhang clan is trying to foster a good relations.h.i.+p with us, they knew just how talented young Anyaja is before they sent her to us, and you what us to stab them in the back?"

"For a no name disciple! Abbess they might not even react as hard as you think they would, she means nothing to them other than being a childhood playmate for their young master. Once we have her we can deal with any fallout, especially when we have the second prince as our backer, after all he's the Abbess's own nephew." The purple cla.s.s woman said.

"What does my nephew have to do with this Chong Mei?"

"Isn't the second prince looking for a third wife, and since the second prince is one of the prime candidates for the throne, should she become his wife we can use the emperor's influence to have her remain in Emei sect, in much the same way the Zhang Suiyan became the wife of the red dragon. Sure there might be some tensions, but we're cultivators with very long lives, eventually everything would be forgotten and the Emei sect would have gained a pillar. We need this Abbess."

"Well what you've said does hold some merit Chong Mei, we will still have our ties with Wudang sect as quite frankly the Zhang clan is inconsequential, the only reason they're still so revered is because they hold the ( Jin Ying Jing) which makes them the most feared cultivators as there's no skill or cultivation they can not master and amplify to great levels.

But in the grand scheme of things, the fact that they're so adamant to remain loyal to the Wudang sect has left them leashed like common dogs, they no longer have the power they used to and I very much doubt they would be able to regain it back. Offending them has no really consequences, and having the potential future empress be an Emei student would do wonders for our sect. We would be standing at the top of the cultivation world, doing and achieving things others never had or will.

Very well Chong Mei, please guide her well, as far as strength goes her potential is limitless. But you have to make her more of a woman than the Tom boy she is, I wouldn't have my nephew marrying a dark skinned Savage with no manners. In the mean time I'll send a letter to my sister and my nephew, we should be able to put plans in place and have it come to fruition by the time the emperor's birthday comes by in two months. We'll make our move then, you're dismissed Chong Mei."

"By your leave Abbess, thank you for your time. I will do my best to make sure Anyaja lives up to your expectations and become a burden worthy of the second prince and a disciple worthy of the glory of the Emei sect."

Her purple robes flutters with the wind as she move back, Chong Mei felt her plan was foolproof, this would do great things for the Emei sect and she would have a talented disciple to show to the entire world. And she was absolutely not going to let anything or anyone, man, beast, demon or ghosts stand in her way. Anya was much more important than most people knew, she was an important key, and Chong Mei had traveled through multiple worlds just to find her. And this world will burn if it stood in her way.
