226 The Path To Survival Part One

Earth…

A young woman stood in her living room with her arms across her chest. She was looking at the protection in front of her of an old man with his head bowed in shame. Her eyes were cold as she quietly listened to the report. "You really did good this time!" She finally yelled out. "I asked you to watch over her for me. To make sure she could live a good life! But you allowed her to be sent away to a place where you have no idea where she could be? Each of those cultivator worlds is like a death trap to her. Unless she is lucky and is taught how to survive she will not be able to live in any of those worlds! They are like a lawless jungle, kill or be killed!"

"Young Miss, I will search each world. I am able to detect her soul signature now so once I am near that world I can find her..." The old man replied. He knew it was unlikely but he was still willing to try!

"No don't… Although I hate it, I do believe in my daughter. Plus in case something like this happened, the worlds I chose for her to be reborn in also had a bit of spiritual crap those cultivators use. Once she finds her way back she will be even more powerful than before. If she is not back within one hundred years, you can go search for her. Until then watch over her planet until she gets back. Do not let anything happen to it. You know how time flows differently there. Millions of years there are only a few days on her world. So who knows maybe she will be back in a few days. We will just look at this as training for her. Make sure her little husband is in the know as well. Do not keep anything from him. We do not want him to go crazy trying to search for her. That boy…. He's special. Now go do the things you should do!" Alicia's mother said before cutting off the connection. The projection was a device that was handed to her by Old Fen at the time he was giving her some of his power. It was a sort of communication device that could communicate with someone no matter where they were.

Once Grandpa Mu's image disappeared Alicia's mother let out a sigh. "My dearest daughter, my plans for you to live a life of your choosing has followed a path that seems to be fate. I hope you can survive this trial on your own… Wait...The world you are in..." Alicia's mother stopped her words when she heard someone walk into the house. A smile formed on her face as she trotted over and hugged the man. He was tall and well built. He had long black hair that really didn't fit his suit and tie that he was wearing. "Dear, our daughter… she is over there now..."

The man's face that was smiling before turned into a frown and asked. "How!?"

"Omni Box… Akari seemed to have found one of them by accident and touched it not knowing what it was, it sent her to that world." Alicia's mother explained.

"Okay, I will contact someone. She will be fine. It's a good thing you can sense where she is. If she ended up anywhere else she would truly be on her own." The man said with a slight smile. seemingly a little relieved to know she was on that world.

Alicia looked at the white haired old man, her gaze full of determination. Just seeing such a resolute gaze made the white haired old man think highly of Alicia. "Good! Let me explain a few things. You may think we are speaking the same language but we are not. In truth, we are speaking two different languages but due to heaven's will, it allows us to understand each other. The only thing it does not affect is the written language of this world. So you will need to learn how to read and write our language. In order to survive in this world, you will need to cultivate. To do this, you must first sense the spiritual qi in the air before you even can start cultivating. Only when you can sense it will you be able to truly start on your path of survival."

"So that is what I have been sensing then.. I could feel another energy source in the air different from the Magicules of my world." Alicia said absentmindedly. She was more talking to herself than to the white haired old man.

But the white haired old man was quite shocked that the little girl who had just come to this world was already able to sense spiritual qi. "Good! Since you can already sense spiritual qi I will recite scripture for you. Go sit on the bed and cross your legs, close your eyes, and try to remember everything I say."

Alicia did as she was asked and went and sat down on the bed. She crossed her legs and closed her eyes. Seeing that she was ready the white bearded old man began to recite a few sentences to Alicia. "The wind flows and rustles the leaves on the tree. The flow of the heavens is like the wind. It is all around us and encircles us. By allowing the heavens to seep into our bodies, the heavens will strengthen us. The right flow, the right mind. Take in the energy around you..."

Alicia repeated the words that were being told to her. Soon she felt a warmth all around her body. Different from Magicules, calmer, and more gentle. If Magicules were a spicy sauce then spiritual qi was a sweet sauce. "Once you have the feeling of the spiritual qi around you we will work on opening your meridians."
