On the edge of a cliff,sat yang xin,her dress billowed slowly in the wind adding a charm to her beauty…
She looked into the horizon..
"How long shall this status quo continue—the loneliness consumes me,it aches not having to grow strong alongside them…."
She muttered with strange calmness in her voice..
"They would achieve immortality,that I'm certain!!!—but then I'll still be a mortal—I'll become a burden at the end…that is something I never really thought about until today…
I guess it's best if I relieve them of a future problem"
She was already standing at the very edge of the cliff,any step further would mean falling to her death,she stared down,then…she took the step anyway…descending straight downwards…
Tian yi immediately came out from the nearby bush,in that same split second he saw his mom take that last step,he quickly called out-"MOMMMM!!!",but it was too late,she had already gone down…
Immediately a stream of energy immediately chased after her,this was uncle Tian's doing.
'Fuck,you freaking mortals don't value life no??,you'll put my young master in eternal anguish if anything happens to you,ughhh,foolish woman,jeez',uncle tian thought as he caught her mid air..
looking at her face,her gaze looked empty,two streams of tears ran down her eyes,showing that she already accepted her death already.
Her body hadn't yet registered that she had been saved..
Quickly returning to the top of the cliff,where the father and son duo waited.
Apparently yang ye had gone home to meet his wife,but on getting there he realized that she wasn't home,he searched in the vicinity but still no sign of her,which was odd,he hastily made his way towards the cliff he knew she frequented,thinking she might just have decided to go see the horizon there.
On nearing the cliff,he heard tian yi's shout,he quickly bolted towards the direction of the sound,only to see his wife being carried back up by uncle tian.
Uncle tian dropped her in the ground,immediately tian yi ran to her side,hugging her from above,
"mom,mom,don't scare me like that—please,
Do you hate me that much that you wanted me to suffer your absence",
he asked with anguish in his voice.
Yang ye hugged both of them in his arms,he blamed himself for not knowing that she was feeling depressed about the long cultivation trips,the feeling of staying alone and doing nothing was heart wrenching.
To make it worst,they were her only family,that same family now deserted her.
Thus was the cruel reality of cultivators and thier mortal families,they end up drawing apart,until they become almost like strangers…
Looking at them,uncle tian decide to give them alone family time,
He watched from the sidelines,looking over them.
Yang xin's eyes finally had some clarity returned to them.
"I'm sorry yi'er ,yang ye,I was selfish,I almost cost us our family",
she said while she hung her head low crying in her husband's embrace..
Yang ye cradled her face,reassuring her that it was he that was being selfish,
He could have decide not to cultivate,but he still chose to pursue immortality even when he knew that his wife was still a mortal,with no hope of immortality,or wait!!!,who said she had no hope of immortality??,maybe uncle tian could teach her…
Snapping his head backwards,he turned to uncle tian…
As if reading his thoughts,uncle tian replied.
"You guys just love drama,of course she can cultivate",they all looked at him oddly,as if blaming him for not telling them sooner..
You guys wanna find a scape goat don't you??,y'all never asked!!!,
I assumed she didn't want to get involved in the hassles of the cultivation world,so I didn't ask…I never thought she'd become depressed by it—such a hassle,sighhh",feeling wronged he rubbed his temples..
"Then what are we waiting for??,yang xin let's go with uncle tian,your training starts today",
Yang ye said as he helped his wife up…
Regaining the will to live,she steeled herself and replied"I'll make sure to practice hard—I might lack talent and may never reach immortality,but I'll die satisfied knowing I gave it my all…",
Interjecting from the side,uncle tian said,"you gave the young master the nine yangs dragon body,you're far from talentess yang xin".
"I knew it!!!,my mom can never be mediocre",
Holding her hand tian yi said,
"Mom don't worry,we'll dominate the world of cultivate one day as a family,as a unit,they shall tremble before our combined might",he said while shaking his fists in the air.
Looks at her son,yang xin couldn't help but smile,feeling foolish for almost putting everyone in eternal agony…
They soon went back home,with uncle tian personally teaching yang xin how to Channel qi around her,the son and the husband joined in later,receiving pointers in thier cultivation,putting all three of them through in thier cultivation.
…..
"Huh??,is that….?"
Looking at the faint bluish white glow surrounding yang xin,uncle tian couldn't help but gasp…
"Is this the work of fate??,or just coincidence,two primordials now…young master would you be able to succeed", he turned to look at tian yi with worry in his eyes.
Tian yi,oblivious to what was going on around him,was immersed in his cultivation,
He had entered into his energy domain.
As at when he opened it the first time with the help of the quadruple fanged python,it was just illusory,like an empty space,blurry and formless.
The qi fruit tree was in the middle,no change noticeable on it,the egg still located in its heart,absorbing energy.
The whole scene of his energy domain had now changed,becoming more lucid,unlike its hazy form before,although it was still formless, looking more like an elaborate projector.
