Chapter 29

It was die feng that explained the situation. "last night when we reached Kunlun mountain. This piece of rock zoomed out of the mountain. Since it is not a weapon or device, we didn't know what to make of it. We tried to contain it but it stopped a few miles before the boundary of qingqui. Again, this has never happened before, so we decided to stand guard around it. The whole night, it stayed there unmoving and unrelenting, stranded in the air. But a few moments earlier, we saw a red barrier being lowered down like it was being allowed entry to qingqui. With the barrier down, the rock zoomed past us. Understanding its destination, we followed it here."


"it's waiting for you xaio bai." Donghua informed feng jiu after die feng had completed explaining the situation. Feng jiu considered the circumstances and complied with the unsaid instruction in donghua's words. She stretched out her hand and placed it on top of the rock. As her touch settled, the rock started disintegrating and rearranging on its own. It seemed as if a jigsaw puzzle was solving itself. During the deconstruction process of the rock, a blood-red ruby had emerged from its middle and as the puzzle pieces completed solving themselves, a long, multi-faceted, crystalline blade with a hilt of gold became visible and the blood-red ruby was now situated at the top of this hilt.


The sword, however, was intricately beautiful. The crystalline blade was near transparent with a bluish hue to it. Its multi-faceted body reflected light all over making it look like it was glowing with a light of its own. Yet, the sharpness of the blade was so lethal that it could give canghe a fierce competition.


Feng jiu looked at the blade with awe and ill-concealed glee, moving her hand towards the sword, she grasped its hilt.


In the hands of its owner, the sword started gleaming bright red that eventually turned into huge golden-red flames that ensconced the blade. When the red and gold flames emerged, their fiery strength forced everyone to take a step back. The power that emanated from the sword was raw and strong.


As the light from the flame grew, it became too heavy for them to look at. Sensing the discomfort of others around her, feng jiu subdued the sword, withdrawing its power inside her, and gradually, the flame died down with the sword turning back to its normal state.


"How does it feel xaio bai?" Donghua asked, coming to stand back at her side and resting his arm around her waist.


"I don't know why but for some reason, it does not feel new. It felt like this sword has already been in my hands since the beginning of time like I was born with it. Even now, as I hold it, it feels like an extension of my arm and not a weapon that I yield."


"it is an extension of your powers, xaio bai. When you placed your hand on top of the rock, you channeled your powers into it, giving it the permission, it required to form an equipment for you. But it was your powers that guided it. The disassembling and assembling of the rock were the molding process of your powers, giving it a shape most suitable for its master."


"But, how come a rock appeared from the Kunlun mountain?" Feng jiu asked donghua, genuinely perplexed.


"xaio bai, you are no ordinary immortal, only you and your powers can decide your weapon. I, also, made cang he by myself, from the rock bihai cangling gave me. This rock was a gift for you, from the Kunlun mountain. For a normal immortal, Kunlun can mold a weapon but as for your powers, no Kunlun made weapon can handle the full extent of them. Any weapon that has not been molded specifically by your powers, would disintegrate the second your spirit touches it. However, this doesn't mean that you can't use a weapon other than your own. You can yield every weapon that exists in all the realms but you have to monitor the power that you channel into it depending on the weapons' original strength and make sure that your spirit stays far away from it or else it will disintegrate." Donghua explained.


Bai qian was curious about what she heard. So she stepped forward with her jade purity fan asking, "dijun, can she yield this jade purity fan given by the Kunlun mountain?"


When feng jiu, saw the fan in front of her, she remembered how many times she had tried to use it before when she was the little princess of qingqui and how horribly she had failed at it. Seeing it again, she wanted to give it another try. Excited at the prospect, she stepped forward to ask her aunt for it but before she could utter a single word, dong hua pulled her back, and in a strict voice, he said, "don't even think about it, xaio bai. I can see that you want to ask bai qian's permission for trying it and with your nature, she will even give it to you. But you are not ready for it. The jade purity fan is a very complicated weapon, it will not be able to handle even a tenth of your power and you will end up blowing away the whole of qingqui, and not just the eastern lands."


Turning towards bai qian, he explained, "as I said, xaio bai can yield every weapon that exists in this universe, from the jade purity fan to mo yuan' sword and zhe yan's fire saber. But right now, her young, lively spirit is still adjusting to the depth and extent of her powers. So, it's safe to say that in her excitement right now, she will either destroy a whole realm or completely disintegrate your weapon. Give her time, in a couple of months, she will be able to introduce you to newer aspects of that fan."


Looking back at feng jui's pouting face, he smiled down at her and said, "don't pout. If you really want to try a weapon, try this." At that moment, cang he appeared in front of them.


The appearance of cang he and the thought of feng jiu using it caused everyone to take five steps back in unison, some even went to go stand in a corner. Even mo yuan, zhe yan and bai zhi looked terrified at that possibility of her yielding cang he.


Donghua looked at the retreating crowd and the terrified expressions on their faces and chuckled.


"don't worry, she won't blow you away or anything. Our powers are the same, as such cang he can handle the full extent of her powers."


Still petrified, it was bai yi that eventually spoke up, "we believe you, dijun but for the sake of our sanity, we would like to observe from here, only."


Donghua nodded in acceptance of their situation and faced feng jiu again, "you want to try?"


"can I, really?" She was still unsure of it.


"yes, you can. You are the only one besides me that can yield it. Even picking it up won't be possible for others. Go ahead and give it a try. Let's see how it responds to you. Even I'm curious about it."


Feng jiu extended her hand and grasped the golden hilt of cang he that was adorned with a blue zircon at its top. The moment she grasped cang he, it started gleaming bright blue but the blue slowly turned into a dark purple flame radiating warmth and calming ambiance over the room.


Feng jiu was confused at this and turned to look at a smiling dong hua.


"Why did it turn purple, dijun?"


"our powers merged xaio bai. Cang he is an extension of my power, in my hands, it gleams a single bright azure blue flame that radiates an ice-cold and concentrated power. But when you channeled it, my azure blue cultivation merged with your red one, turning it into that dark purple. Since it is still my sword, it gleams a single flame but the power it radiates is a combination of us. My ice and your fire, xaio bai. Give me your sword, I'll show you."


Subduing cang he, she retrieved her powers and then materialized her new sword for dong hua. The moment he took full control of it, the same thing happened again. The sword started gleaming red but the red slowly turned into dark purple flames that ensconced the blade casting the same warmth and calming ambiance over the room.


Their powers had indeed merged, feng jiu thought to herself.


Their standing audience felt a little reassured on seeing that the little queen had not blown anybody away yet. Also, the power radiating from the swords settled down their fears quite a bit. Among the little group, it was mo yuan that seemed to be thinking very hard about something and after dong hua had put down the sword, he walked towards them.


"dijun, if I may?" He asked, seeking permission to speak freely.


"go on, mo yuan."


"from what you stated about her majesties power, would it not better for her to continue practicing her own weapon and other along with it in a more controlled environment?"


"it's good to see that the god of still never disappoints. What you say is true, xaio bai needs all the practice she can get right now and it would be beneficial for all if it was in a safe place. But pray tell, mo yuan, what would you suggest in such a situation?" Donghua asked amused by mo yuan's line of thought.


"I believe her majesty already has the answer to that", turning to feng jiu, mo yuan cocked his head to the side and continued, "if you will, your majesty."


Understanding spread through feng jiu's mind and she nodded her affirmation. She took a few steps back and shifted into the lotus position, extending her aura. Seconds later, she was in the training ground, mo yuan used to teach her in and without a long delay, mo yuan and dong hua stepped inside the grounds. Since her teacher was already familiar with these grounds, it was dong hua's turn to be surprised this time. He was in awe of the detail and depth of this mirror world she had created but still something poked at his mind.


He pointed his icy glare on mo yuan, "why do feel your golden cultivation on the grounds created by xaio bai?"


Donghua's eyes were glaring daggers at the war god, as he contemplated the different ways, he could make the od war god suffer without alerting xaio bai. The god of war shivered under the glare of the former ruler of heaven and earth. His eyes widened as the unifier of realms narrowed his eyes. Trying to dispel dong hua's jealousy, he said bowing his head, "you misunderstand me, dijun. Her majesty is my student and this ground was created to help her train in a safe nature while she was in the mortal realm so that her magic won't backfire. The layer of my cultivation that you sense was placed solely to allow me access to teach her majesty."


Donghua was not pacified by his explanation though. But before he could say something in response, feng jiu approached them and the matter was put to rest for now. As dong hua turned his attention towards feng jiu, mo yuan heard his voice in his own mind, "you will be explaining this to me later."


"what do you think my grounds, dijun?" Fe g jiu asked unaware of the conversation between the two gods.


"its magnificent, xaio bai. You did a very good job at it."


"do you think it will be safe for me to practice here?"


"yes, my little fox. This valley is based inside your aura, anything that you do here will be absorbed by you and will cause no consequence on the outside world. You can practice freely here."


Feng jiu smiled warmly up at dong hua clueless of the danger mo yuan had just been put in.
