6. Teacher and disciple's karma

6. Teacher and disciple's karma

Three days.

He has been in cultivation for three days. The end of the three days is when a miracle happens.

Shi Xiang is reborn.

Taking his first breath in the world, the sound was as gentle as a breeze. A wind starts blowing with Shi Xiang in the center.

For Shao Jingyi who has been standing on guard for the last three days, the moment the wind blows, it is as if all her tiredness from the last three days has disappeared. She stares up at the sky with wide eyes upon seeing such a phenomenon.

Even the male cultivator with low cultivation who was with her can also feel it.

"Why is the Spiritual Qi in the area rising so rapidly?"

With his cultivation, he can only tell that the energy surrounding him was spirit Qi. However at that moment seeing such a rare phenomenon, he has already been sitting crossed legs on the ground, trying to absorb as much Qi as possible.

Shao Jingyi however, with her mysterious background can immediately recognize something that has never been seen in the Eight Sanctum before.

"It's Heaven Qi...?" Shao Jingyi mutters in shock. For all those years on the Eight Sanctum continent, Shao Jingyi has been considered a great expert. However in the grand scheme of thing she is nothing special, even on the Eight Sanctum continent. Even a great expert cannot stand alone after all, and for Shao Jingyi, whose background was mysterious and currently is without backing, it is like swimming against the stream whenever conflicts arise among the great power.

They with their connections going back as far as 4000 years ago will always join force against her to gain the upper hand. The devils you know is better than the unknown after all. It could be said that the great power on the Eight Sanctum continent are afraid of Shao Jingyi.

However for all that time, she never even has eyes for the great powers of the Eight Sanctum continent. For her, they are an annoyance, an annoyance that has overtime constantly reminded her of how far she has fallen.

Fallen. For you see once upon a time Shao Jingyi has her eyes opened to an even greater world. A world above whose inhabitants are considered immortal in the eyes of the Eight Sanctum continent's inhabitants. How could some lowly Martial Dao cultivators from Eight Sanctum frighten her when she has seen power greater than the entire Eight Sanctum continent being brought forth by men who was fighting casually.

But the past is the past. After descending, Shao Jingyi found that she could not ascend back again.

The participle realms are truly low in resources, from cultivation resources to rare treasure to even the ambiance Qi.

Playing around once upon a time, Shao Jingyi has descended. However, taking advantages of her vulnerable state, an enemy has attacked her, damaging her cultivation base, making it impossible to cross the continents. That enemy then left her for death without finishing her off, probably waiting to see her suffer after realizing that she can never return home again.

The ambiance Qi in the Eight Sanctum continent was terrible, even with profound techniques learned once upon a time, they could do her no good for it was impossible to even activate those techniques with her damaged cultivation base and the weak energy around her could not sustain her either.

However, the moment Shi Xiang's soul and body finish rebuilding according to the Dao of the Sect Mater of the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Devil Path Ancestor, every breath he breathes out was filled with the purest energy of heaven and earth, the Heaven Qi.

At this moment, even Shao Jingyi did not know that the source of its all is Shi Xiang who has been reborn thanked to the effort of the Sect Master and the Devil Path Ancestor. She is busy swallowing up Shi Xiang's entire breath with her techniques that have not been used since very long ago. The poor cultivation resource of the Eight Sanctum continent means they could not be activated, but with Heaven Qi, the mysterious energy that was rarely seen even for Shao Jingyi at her peak of course it would be enough. It could even improves her cultivation to unknown high since she knows the method of cultivation. Shao Jingyi never expects that it was that cute disciple that she has taken in once upon a time out of the kindness of her heart was the one who brought her this unimaginable blessing.

Shi Xiang breathes out one breath. Shao Jingyi absorbs all of the Heaven Qi, the ambiance energy in the air rapidly dropped. Shi Xiang breathes out another, the Heaven Qi in the area appears again.

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

At this moment still, Shao Jingyi could not understand how this has happened. However she could only greedily absorbs all of it to cure her injuries and purges the impurities that has gathered over time in her travel of the Eight Sanctum continent.

Little did she know, this matter is related to a Heaven-shaking secret.

The secret behinds the Devil cultivation techniques of the Devil path cultivators stuck in the Hell dimension absent of Qi.

The secret behind the absolute zone surrounding the Sword Saint abode where no immortals dare enter.

At this moment, if Zheng Jie and Yan Yu has known that both of their understanding of cultivation was the same, Yan Yu would have even more ammunition against the Sect Master while Zheng Jie would be enraged.

Finally, Shi Xiang opens his eyes entirely. He can feel the change in his body, even his soul and his mindset has changed. Is it still Shi Xiang or another being with Shi Xiang's memory?

To change your body, soul and even mindset, this will surely be a question for cultivators. However at that moment, for Shi Xiang.

"I see..."

It is as it is. The movement of fate has already been changed, one could not regret the matters that have already happened and stop moving forward.

"Thank to the two seniors..." He mutters, each breath filled with Heaven Qi.

However at that moment, he looks up at something above him.

"Little Xiang..."

"Master!"

The time has come. Surrounding Shao Jingyi is a golden aura formed by the Heaven Qi. Every part of her being look the part of a Goddess. Her hair has since fallen down, and yet it does not deter her beauty. In fact, it enhances it. All the impurities, the blemishes that has been accumulated in the lower continent are gone.

The moment the Heaven Qi fills the air, Shao Jingyi has immediately thought of her many life saving techniques. Going back home, back to her sect, under the protection of her father. There was only one reason for her to delay her ascension.

The karma between people is a strange thing.

She took in the orphaned Shi Xiang once upon a time out of the kindness of her heart.

Years later, he repays her by multiple folds even though she did not know that it was him.

To cultivate the heaven Dao is to sever karma, however how could it be that simple?

Karma between people is not that easily cut. Karma between teacher and disciple even more so.

"...Little Xiang, I will be going now. Back to my sect," she smiles "you know the one I have been telling you about. The one that I'm sure will accept you due to respecting my face. I'm quite influential you know."

For a moment she jokes. Then, she gets serious again

"This is not the end. After dealing with matter at home, I will be back to take you with me. At that time, as you master, all your grievances... I will help you handle it." She grits her teeth, worrying about leaving her disciple who has lost all of his cultivation (in her eyes) to the lower world with his enemies about.

The male cultivator who helped to look for Shi Xiang looks up in fright at that moment. He was a friend to the Shao Jingyi - Shi Xiang master disciple pair, but never in his wildest dream did he imagine what Shao Jingyi's background was.

At that moment, Shi Xiang was not filled with sorrow because of his master ascending nor was he filled with happiness because she promises to return.

Shi Xiang was on the ground, on both knees. Three times he bows down to his master. Looking at this scene, Shao Jingyi smiles, she can feel that at this moment Shi Xiang's mental state is extremely stable. As he is right now, she believes her disciple could deal with anything before she returns. With a light heart, Shao Jingyi activates her life saving technique, flying away while signalling to her family that she is alive. Immediately, in the sky another bright blue flash appears next to the golden flash, protecting her on the way of her ascension. It was the protective feeling of a father, realizing that his daughter is still alive.

Shi Xiang remains stilt on ground, still bowing, still breathing out Heaven Qi.
