( Scene Change )( Outside The Lu Family Mansion ) .
Both Tian Long and Lu Hua were unaware of the huge scene that was currently happening in the Lu Family yard and what the whole Howling Wolf City was currently witnessing with opened eyes and mouths .
The dark cloud gathered out of nowhere and completely engulfed the whole city, giving it a depressing atmosphere, then as if that wasn't enough to startle the people of the city, all of a sudden a door appeared in the sky above their heads, some people coward in their homes, others hid their children .
Everyone reacted as if they were in a crisis, but other than the wind starting to become strong, nothing seem to be happening anymore, but this weird phenomena was enough to shake people heart, all onlookers looked at the sky, wondering what exactly might be going on, then it happened .
( Scene Change Ended )( Back In The Lu Family mansion ) .
As I went into the weird whirlpool, I felt my body become lighter than ever before, almost as if gravity had not even the slightest bit of effect on me, I was unable to make sense of what was going on currently, but well, I don't think that's was an issue at this point .
There was no land in sight, only the pulsating cold Blue and Black Yin energy that was flickering like a heartbeat and was responsible for providing a little bit of light, enough to let me assess my situation and see the place clearly .
The place was filled with Yin Qi and that Deathly Qi to its full, I couldn't help but suck a breath of air Instinctively, but I was literally in a place with no air and was body made of consciousness and soul power, my shock came to be from how much energy was stored in here .
The area outside of the gate was still being flooded by the Yin Qi, yet it seem that the Yin Qi outbreak outside had no effect on the reserves here, recalling this, I hurriedly looked back and saw that the gate was still there so that was a bit of relief .
I was still able to stay in this place due to the fact that I'm being treated as Yin Qi due to using Force Seed before to infiltrate this place, the reason for doing such a reckless thing, was because that weird pulsating cocoon that had an entity similar to Lu Hua engulfed in it .
If that was all, I would have got outside and report this issue first, then come inspect it later, but a premonition in my heart was telling me that whatever that was currently going on with Lu Hua's body, after it ended, I won't be able to come here again .
This and the fact that the cocoon itself was surrounded by even more intense amount of that Deathly energy, now that I can clearly see it, it was indeed the case, the cocoon seemed to be getting squeezed out by that weird energy .
Seeing this, I was completely unable to contain my shock, but feeling already worn out after using the Soul Weapon Projection, I didn't dare to get kicked out of my focused state due to my shock, I forced myself to calm down and my eyes darted around looking for a way to reach that cocoon .
But nothing in sight seemed to be capable of offering any help, in fact there was nothing here at all, the pulsating energy, the weird void that I'm currently standing freely in and the cocoon, there was nothing to even gain a boost enough for me to jump or move towards it .
As I thought of trying to reach it, I suddenly got an idea of using Martial Arts to do it, one particular skill I have can indeed help me kick the air, I gritted my teeth and directly used the move in Charging Tiger skill and as if there was not even the slightest bit of resistance, I found myself flying towards the cocoon, midway there, I began to think more and more that this was a bad idea .
With my current course, I was directly heading to crash into that weird and sinister Deathly dark blue Qi surrounding the cocoon from all sides, the notifications in my mind hadn't stopped ringing since I entered this area through that gate, either removing an erosion or detoxing toxins .
Seeing that I was getting closer and closer to the ring shaped Deathly Qi around the cocoon, I decided to gamble everything that I have, my life included on the Force Seed ability to devour that Deathly Qi, luckily with the abundant transfer of Yin Qi and Yang Qi into energy I can use to keep the three Tiger Martial Arts carrying on, I can almost keep them active for literally an infinity amount of time, at least until my reserve completely run out, so that was at least something good .
As I was heading closer and closer towards that ring of death, I kept having doubts on whether will I actually be able to absorb that power or will I perish here, as I finally came into contact with the dimly lit burst of energy, I couldn't help but close my eyes and brace myself for what happens next .

A torrent of notifications suddenly sounded in my ears and for a second I thought that this was indeed the end of me, but second after I started to realize what these notifications were telling me I opened my eyes and I saw that had actually managed to pass them safely without a problem as if they were nothing but a mirage .
Looking at my current state, I sensed that this weird power was indeed absorbed by my Force Seed, should be called Force Sapling now since it sprouted and all, I managed to pass unharmed towards the cocoon, but just as I finally reached a safe distance to basically touch the weird thing, the Deathly Dark Blue energy directly swarmed towards me as if giving me a clear warning on no touching the cocoon .
Retracting my hand, I clutched my head as I was suddenly starting to feel even more worn out now, but through gritted teeth, I endure the splitting headaches I was suffering and I directly went full inspection mode, not daring to waste even the slightest bit of time .
After spending roughly 2 or 3 minutes, I too some extent understand that the cocoon was like a living cell and these Dark Blue energy like tentacle holding to it was tumors or something similar to parasites, not only were they holding the living cell as a hostage, but they were actually eating it alive .
After I came to understand this through observing the body in the cocoon and the shrinking of its protective membrane, even though this might have been just a coincidence, the seal that Zi Xue left for me was confirming and solving my confusion with every passing second .
Without it, I wouldn't have been so sure of anything, the whole situation was strange and extremely bizarre, but now wasn't the time to complain, I was starting to see a way that could help solve this situation, it's just that the seal was of no help in confirming whether will I actually mange to survive after doing this or not .
What was that just now, am I imagining things or is the gate starting to shrink slightly, no it happened again, that gate is really starting to shrink with each passing minute, the technique I was currently using allowed me to have an incarceration of my consciousness made and supported completely by Soul Power, if that gate disappeared while I'm still here .
Then most likely I would die too losing the last bit of my Soul Power here, should I just let go of my wanting to help her obsession and abort this operation, she would still be able to stay alive for some time, I will be sure to help her once I become a bit more stronger, by then I should be able to really and completely help her out .
As I turned to look at the cocoon while thinking this, I found that the face I was seeing inside of it now changed to that of Zi Xue, then turned to be that of Chu Ji Xi, I couldn't help but be at loss of what to think at the moment, was this place playing tricks on me, or was this all my mind doing .
It seem that all I can do with push through this predicament doing everything I could, even though this might have been a psychological trick that came into existence due to my turmoil heart and mind, I was still clear about my own conscience, since I felt troubled by giving this a rest, then I might as well do my best and hope that my hard work will still pay off .
Observing where the tentacles were coming from, I decided to act decisively and as quickly as possible, time was indeed ticking, even the second now did count, 5 places, 5 air kicks, 5 times absorbing the power inside them and letting these tumors finally disappear .
After I spent some time using the Force Sapling to absorb and process that weird 5 energy nodes, I felt a sudden fluctuation behind me and saw that the sea of scattered Blue Dark Energy suddenly began gathering together and forming a face, yes, a literall Black like smoke face of Deathly energy .
Seeing this I directly kicked the air again and appear between that face and the cocoon getting ready for anything that might happen, but I wasn't ready for what came next :
Why are you meddling in this venerable business ? .
It talked, it actually talked, is this thing alive .
Head my warning and stop trying to meddle in things beyond your capabilities, else you might end up experiencing a severe crisis, an ant shouldn't try to shake a tree, she won't be indebted to you because of this, if anything she will kill you once she awaken, leave now .
I had no clue what this face was saying, but all I know was that the person in the cocoon behind me seemed to be related to Lu Hua but not quite, yet it was still essential for that face to make sure that this cocoon continue to stay here .
" If you are done, you can make your move, I think that you are unable to do anything to me that's why you are still talking to me, whether she do kill me after this or not doesn't concern me much, she share the face and the body with a friend of mine and that's enough for me to lend her a hand, so again, show your moves or get out of here .
I thought that this should be indeed true regarding his inability to do me much harm, but then I saw him suddenly opening his mouth and as he dashed towards me to devour me, he was actually yelling :
You insolent ant .
But just as he came to devour me, my spiritual energy broke loose and covered the whole area around me, then I heard him continue to scream in horror and disbelief as he was being devoured by me, he was saying :
You, what in the world are you, stop, stop, I will offer you something you can't refuse, stooop... .
The face made of that sinister power has been completely devoured by me, I don't know the reason behind the Force Sapling sudden intervention and the fundamental behind how it actually worked, there was no mentioning anything about this in the manual I read before .
But anyway problem should have been solved now, I hope, turning towards the cocoon, I saw that it was actually dispersing into a stream of light, then the entity inside it became hovering alone in the place it was, then she finally opened her eyes .
Eyes completely black as ink and filled with numerous stars, it was as if she was the descendent of the universe, the moment she locked eyes with me, I felt numerous vision of planets, yes entire planets getting destroyed and become ashes, figures as tall as the distance between heaven and earth were going around slapping and eradicating those planets out of existence .
Then she appeared in those visions holding the moon and the sun and splitting into 7 similar enormous entities and the whole sky seemed to dim in an instant, the creatures wrecking havock in the world were massacred completely seconds later, then the vision stopped .
I found myself teleported back to the Lu Family mansion, Lu Hua's hand was in mine and she was completely oblivious to what I had just been through, but seeing my intense shocked state and the sweat that covered my head and body, she knew that something might be up, so she asked urgently :
What had happened ? .
I looked up to her and I saw that a black mark of flame like tattoo appeared in the middle of her forehead, similar to the symbol I saw in the visions that woman showed me, then without a second of delay, I directly collapsed on the floor, Lu Hua wanted to call for help, but just as she wanted to call for help, she too collapsed in the bed .
While the two of them were taking a rest, the whole city was in turmoil, the wind was now storming through the city, removing each and everything that seem to stand in its path, lightening started to descend on that weird door in the sky, each strike of lightening almost broke people hearts with just the sound .
One strike after another and the door kept standing strong without budging, then cracks started to appear on the door, the next lightening strike completely shattered it, even after the much struggle from before, 33 times, the lightening has hit the same place 33 times, a ray of light descended from where the door stood, landing in the Lu Family Mansion, illuminating the abandoned yard where the cursed Lu Family Young Miss lived .
As soon as people figured this out, the sky cleared up in the same manner it was clouded just now, the wind calmed down and silence reigned all over the city and it's people, the incident was called Heaven's Favor but that was months after it actually happened .
Too many people had come knocking on the Lu Family Mansion home these past few days, all came to inquire about what exactly had happened here, strongmen even in higher status and have strong backers were said to be marching towards the Lu Family at the moment as well .
I woke up a day later, feeling completely dried up and torn by hunger, Lu Jian only dared to step into the area in the morning of the next day, even though their was no longer an issue with Lu Hua, he still preferred to step in and check on us the next day morning .
I woke up after he had brought me to his room to rest, I wasn't surprised at the fact that I have slept for so long, I already anticipated that after such an intense encounter, I might even sleep for two whole days, but I was fine now after getting enough rest .
It was Lu Hua's state that I was concerned about, she was still asleep and her aura as per what I witnessed myself was currently on the rise and didn't show any signs of reclining or stopping, she had already finished tempering her flesh, Lu Jian had briefed me about what had happened in the city, he himself was inside the family mansion at that time but he noticed no such thing as what the people in the city spoke of happening .
Recalling the weird situation I kept finding myself in these past few days, I didn't thought that this was a rumor for even a second, I was more entitled to believe that it did happen than to just completely deny it, that beam of light was something that I don't know what to feel about, but since he said that the whole city had seen it, then there most likely be no doubt about it being related to Lu Hua .
After coming to that conclusion, I didn't leave the Lu Family's grounds directly, I kept observing Lu Hua's state and surprisingly even with my True Eyes, I no longer able to see through the transformation that was happening inside her body, if nothing were to go wrong, this girl should awaken her special physique and from here on out she would soar into heaven .
Even though I still a bit guarded towards that weird woman that looked like her and was inside her body and was strong enough to force me out with just a look, not to mention the crazy vision she had me see, I'm unable currently to even inspect her using Soul Power like before, so all I can do is hoping that she won't end up harming her .
Lu Hua had been in a coma for 3 days now and I had been staying in the Lu Family as a guest for two whole days, today I got an urgent call asking me to come back to the Dojo, stepping out of the Lu Family Mansion I was suddenly greeted by the masses that had gathered outside the manor .
Once they had seen my face someone seem to shout my name and people from all sides started to try and get hold of me, then all of a sudden a booming voice ordering them to keep their hands to themselves echoed through crowds, then I don't know who shouted, but a voice suddenly shouted saying :
It's An Imperial Carriage, The Emperor Family Personal Transportation .
