She could feel power circulating within her, so abundant that her very core trembled. She knew this feeling very well, she is in the middle of being promoted but the feeling was also different as she felt her very own being undergoing transformation. Before she could adjust a zapping sound was heard followed by eight more In a quick succession.
" Oh my gods, is Liang Xian chi going to survive this" a gossipy voice entered her ears
" That's hard to say. Although she is a genius's but she is undergoing an ascension tribulation right now. "
" That's true. This kind of tribulation even artifacts are useless. Did you see that divine artifact she used nat the beginning. It blocked only the first two attacks before dissipating. Ai, those are divine artifacts, forged through lightening itself"
" What do you expect, someone as heaven defying as her cannot be tolerated by the heavens. She is ascending to godhood at the age of fifty seven, she was already an immortal at the age of fourth. Look at these old bones of mine, I am almost seven hundred years and I am still at the immortal stage. So hateful"
The chattering around reached her ears but she could not understand what they meant. Wasn't her soul scattered after the array completion. Why is she still able to hear people talk, and who is this Liang Xian chi? What so strange with one able to ascend at the age of fifty? And why is the spiritual energy so low that it was almost burdening to draw some into ones body. Sima yun Yue adjusted her mental state and surveyed herself using divine perception. Upon opening her sea of consciousness she was stunned at what she saw. It was deep crimson and although tranquil it felt foreign to her. This was not her body was the conclusion she drew. She was a wood elemental spiritualist and this was clearly a consciousness of a fire elemental spiritualist. At the very center a silhouette of a young woman was floating, eyes closed and she had curled herself in a foetal position. Curiosity took over and manipulating her soul force she went forward.
Upon reaching, she hesitated for a moment then touched her hand. At that moment the figure that was simmering gentle blue light opened her eyes. When their eyes met, the woman was dazed for a moment before she smiled gently. She floated around Sima yun Yue's soul silhouette before standing infront of her again.
"Greetings" her voice was mellow and sweet making her already beautiful features to soften even more" my name is Liang Xian chi, daughter of great general Liang min Chong." She introduced herself
" I am Sima Liang, sole heir of Sima clan. Where is this place" Sima yun Yue asked her voice soft and childish. When she dissipate she was only thirteen years old. And now nothing had changed.
" Sima clan? I have never heard of it before. But I am glad you are here. It looks like I almost failed to ascend and my summoning jade sent you here, although I wonder why choose such a young child" Liang Xian chi had a puzzled look on her face.
" What's going on. summoning jade? Do you have it on you, can I see it? " Sima Liang had many things going in her mind but the only thing she wanted to confirm was the so called summoning jade. Liang Xian Chi looked at the young girl infront of her with a bit of reluctance and a complicated look crossed her eyes. Although she was a genius, after many centuries or even eons have passed the spiritual energy of the worlds have been thinning quiet considerably. In this era, the spiritual power one needed to pass a tribulation was tremendous, with their family being mainly artificers, each person would carry a summoning jade so that when they are passing the tribulation if they almost fail a powerful soul compatible to theirs is summoned. Because the person summoned is dead, the heavens will not sense the difference and with the boost from the foreign soul the chances of succeeding increases by a great margin. This method was a family secret and only the Liang family knew about it. What made her hesitant was the fact that if this soul were to manipulate the jade and occupy her body then she might disappear forever without reincarnation. Her complicated feelings rose from the fact that the soul summoned was that of a child, even if she was a genius her soul might not be that powerful to support her ascendance.
After a moment of hesitation,she summoned her jade and presented it infront of Sima Liang. The small girl took the jade and examined it for a few minutes,then she muttered some incomprehensible words before throwing the jade up in a gentle manner. Liang Xian Chi wanted to shout but a wonderful thing happened. The jade instead of falling back down, it floated steadily just above their heads. It emitted a faint green, red and brown colours before turning to it's original delicate snowy blue color. A flash of understanding crossed Sima Liang face, but then her little face crutched up in frustration. What kind of bad luck is this, she Sima Liang had lived her life and died a content death even if short-lived, she was ready to be reincarnated but fate had to play sick games with her.
" This is no summoning jade, rather it's a tether spell cast on this jade. I am sure this is not the normal jade your family uses"giving it more thought she did not know what she was feeling at the moment
" I don't wish to be pessimistic but we have two outcome. If the spell is complete we both survive sharing the same body, then if it's incomplete someone just schemed against you. Our chances of survival are lower than passing the tribulation alone." At this moment another lightening bolt fell down, Sima Liang took reigns of the body and met it head on, nine bolts of thunder fell consecutively then it stopped again. Liang Xian Chi was astonished by the shear power the girl infront of her emitted at this moment, her soul was still solid, and with a calm demeanor as if she was drinking water on a normal day. The soul power she had released, it felt domineering and suppressive, it felt ancient. Something clicked in Liang Xian Chi's, her eyes popped out with mouth hanging wide open when the girl returned to her side again Liang Xian Chi was still not in her right state of mind
" You....y...you...you are THE Sima Liang. Youngest leader of the Sima clan in the ancient times, before your tragedy you had already ascended to immortal stage and was awaiting your godhood tribulation at the tender age of twelve, it is said that you started to draw spiritual energy tree months after birth, and without the help of herbs or pills, you did not rely on treasures just your own talent and hardworking to reach that level of immortality." The admiration and worship in that voice was clear making Sima Liang frown in confusion. Was she dead for that long a time?, and is this a new era? But after a quick thought it made sense now as to the reason for the feeling of sparse spiritual energy in the air.
" That is just exaggerated, "her voice was steady but a hint of helplessness hide beneath it. " In the ancient times,the spiritual energy concentration was very high. In fact some people from higher realms than mine might be born as a foundation stage cultivator and ascend to godhood even before twelve years old. At some realm spiritual energy is concentrated that it exist in liquid form. I just happened to be better than most in my realm,but overall I was no genius whatsoever"
