Chapter 93

"BOW TO ME!"

"No matter how hard the wind howls,

The mountain will never bow

To it."

~Mulan

I infuse the wood with flames. The crackle-pop sound of wood as it burns resonates on the cliff edge. I can see the bright golden fire peek out from cracks it made, the sight is mesmerizing, and I can't seem to tear my eyes away from it.

Tiny particles filled with my spiritual qi float into the air, it's so transparent that only people with high mental fortitude can see it with plain eyes. It kind of resembles mini rain drops attached to a long thin brown object. Most likely the wood element.

I use the same technique when cultivating to absorb the spiritual qi. First, positioning my body in the lotus form, I keep my eyes open, staring intently at what I want to absorb. Then, I imagine thin strings extending from my mind and wrapping around the spiritual qi. After that I slowly drag it towards my dantian. A piercing pain erupts all over, and I break out into cold sweat. I expected that.

When you try to forcefully drag qi back inside your dantian without processing it throughout your meridians, it is bound to be painful.

"I can't give up. There's still a lot more that I need to absorb." I bite my bottom lip and squeeze my ȧss cheeks together. This really hurts to the point that clenching my muscles is the only thing I can think of. My mind feels as though millions of dull needles are piercing through it and it has a permanent cramp. It's as though I'm about to explode. The amount of qi I'm attempting to pull into my body is so great that I experience some sort of wall. Once I touch it,great explosion happens, and I have to tighten my reins on the tree roots in order to not be pushed far away.

My long, silver hair wraps around my body like a protective barrier. I can't see anything and I have hair in my mouth. Yuck, disgusting.

Once the aftermath and raging wind calm down my hair uncoils itself.

It's like every time there's an explosion around me, I experience something new. My hair can now move at will. What's next? Will I now be able to shoot fire out of my gluteus Maximus. Wait...Hold on! I think I can actually do that.

As I look down at the roots still attached to my four limbs, I notice that they have greatly reduced in size. "Ooo, Yay, now I can move!" Too caught up in my excitement I didn't even notice the Jade Emperor below the cliff staring at me. His eyes are filled with pride, but before I can see him, he disappears from the plain, narrowly escaping being caught.

200 years later..........

"Melia, It's time."

"I know. And I'm ready." I stand in a white dress, my long silver hair tossed up into a messy bun. Baozi is curled up into my arms, to lazy to stand.

So many things have changed these past two centuries, I've mȧturėd a lot. I understand things clearer. I'm more powerful, and I did not come to take shit from no body.

Min Hao stood hand in hand with the moon goddess watching from the side. He's made it clear that he wants to stay and be with the love of his life, entering god training training and all that fun stuff. I'm going to miss him, honestly. I've known him from the time I was a baby, even though now I'm 215 years old, it's still hard to say goodbye.

I wave slowly at the three people who have helped me mȧturė and become the woman I am today. Helped me battle my internal demons, over come second guessing myself, and letting me know that no matter what I deserve what I have and I shouldn't let anyone else tell me other wise. Then there's the physical training with stopping the demons from overtaking the world, but that part isn't very important.

Slowly I and my mount disintegrate into dust, our forms no longer visible. The Jade Emperor whisperer some last thing before I completely disappeared.

"Be Strong."

Helloooo everyoneeeeeee!!!!

Yes I do realize that I haven't been writing my author notes as I use to, but school has me very hectic. I just wanted to address the fact about the 200 year time skip. Firstly, I think 200 years is completely understandable since she use to live in the human world for most of her life and only just started to learn how to cultivate. So her defeating thousands of demons that have had like over a thousand years to hone their skills just because she is a "genius ". Just felt like a lazy way to cover a plot hole lol. also if you could hehe check out my new story just click on my profile and it will be there.

Anyway guys by !
