Chapter 25: Towards the Three Heavens Connection Meeting
Four years had already passed. although Tianyi was already a youth in his teenage years but due to his high cultivation and his sickly appearance, he appeared no older than thirteen or fourteen.
He was still at the Early Core Formation realm and hadn't undergone the Wind Tribulation where his cores would be polished and grinded by the tribulation wind to become truly perfect spheres.
When a Core Formation realm cultivators' core was first formed, although they looked perfectly spherical, it was actually not and thus as long as the cultivator passed the Wind Tribulation, his core would be fully spherical and be able to display perfect power without any imbalances.
But in Tianyi's case should he undergo the Wind Tribulation, nevermind the problem of whether he was able to endure it due to his chaotic qi. But if he successfully passed, the amount of chaotic qi would increase again and possibly cause his body to explode in a glorious fashion.
"Cough, cough." Tianyi covered his mouth with a handkerchief as he felt himself go into a coughing fit. When he removed the handkerchief, red splotches of blood cover the white cloth. But the red splotches soon disappeared leaving only white and Tianyi stored away the handkerchief.
"Young master." By his side an elderly woman, with speckled gray hair and wrinkled face couldn't help but say in worry. Although she had the visage of an aged woman, her skin was as white and tender as a newborn baby's.
Tianyi waved his hand. "It's fine, it's not like this is the first time I've coughed blood in all these years...or even the first time today."
The elderly woman stayed silent.
The two were walking to the gardens of Jade Peak Palace. Ever since Tianyi's Core Formation Heavenly Tribulation, he had been living here in the palace with his mother. Not just him, but the elder behind him, an aging Unity Realm Venerable, and his junior sister.
"Senior brother Tianyi, Granny Meng." Daoyi greeted the two when she saw them.
"Junior sister, I heard you opened one of your Eight Extraordinary Meridians." Tianyi congratulated. "Junior sister is not far away from the Foundation Establishment realm. To celebrate, here's a little gift from me."
Without waiting for Daoyi to respond Tianyi took out a giant warhammer, the hammer itself being larger than Tianyi's torso, and placed it into Daoyi's hand that instinctively reached out.
As soon as Tianyi let go, the warhammer dropped onto the ground with a large crashing sound. It was a good thing that the floor of the garden was made of stone that was formed from the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, otherwise a large crack would have been created from the impact.
"Senior brother!" Daoyi cried out helplessly as she looked at the cumbersome weapon in her hand that she could hardly lift.
"Senior brother this you already gave me a halberd before, and a three pointed, double edged spear before that." There was helplessness on Daoyi's face. "I don't think I'm suited for any of these weapons."
"Nonsense." Tianyi said. "It doesn't hurt to have them or even practice them. In fact you can even just bring them out and brandish them. Senior sister with your beauty and your special situation, adding deterrence is a necessity."
Indeed, unlike four years ago with the aid of her rising cultivation, Daoyi's pretty features were further enhanced. Especially now that she had started using light makeup, causing her appearance to bloom like a flower.
What's more, in comparison to the other female cultivators of similar age and realms she was rather petite in terms of height, causing one to feel worry over her.
Daoyi could only silently accept her senior brother's goodwill. However she always had a feeling that Tianyi wanted her to specialize in these types of brutish and savage brutes of a weapon.
Just thinking about herself violently swinging around the halberd, or warhammer was already enough to make Daoyi cringe inside. The disparity of her slender arms swinging the handle of a weapon even thicker than she was...was just too beautiful. So beautiful that she couldn't bear to think of it any longer.
Tianyi smiled. What weapon should I give Daoyi next. Maybe a scythe? Hmmm, I need another reason, maybe when she opens her next meridian?"
"Junior sister Daoyi, are you having any trouble recently? You can ask me. Recently, I've been brushing up on my foundations and I've researched numerous cultivation manuals, perhaps I can give some guidance." Tianyi said. And indeed, in the past four years who knows how many times he had researched numerous manuals and arts pertaining to his situation.
With the aid of his mother and various elders, he was capable of circulating his qi and fighting without self-destructing now.
"Just in general, I feel as if the Eight Extraordinary Meridians just simply exist within me. Intangible and ethereal, like they are out of my reach." Daoyi said. She had spent over a year opening even a single one of her Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
Furthermore the more meridians she opened, the harder it would be for her to open the next one. She now had a deeper understanding of why Xia Yushan was so shocked at Tianyi opening up all Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
"That's normal. I also felt that way back then too." Tianyi said as he recalled those days when he was frustrated at not being able to sense the Eight Extraordinary Meridians. "Junior sister, have you heard of the phrase "the person who knows you best, is your enemy"?"
Daoyi nodded her head. "Yes, it means that your enemy knows you better than even yourself."
"Greetings, fellow daoist He." Tianyi smiled and greeted the Monolith Sword Sect disciple. The feeling that He Yongli gave him was one of steadiness to the point of dullness.
Tianyi didn't find it strange that He Yongli was able to cross realms; first he was the disciple of a first rate sect, and second weapon cultivators such as sword cultivators were known to be able to punch above their weight. Just don't know if he had forged a lifebound weapon yet.
"Greetings fellow daoist Xi." He Yongli said. "This is the first time I met the famous son of the Sword Empress. To think you really were at the Core Formation realm, it seems not all rumors are lies."
Tianyi felt his lips twitch, why does it seem like He Yongli was provoking him.
"Haha, a Core Formation realm cultivator at the young age of twelve. Junior brother, not speaking of other sects, even many of us didn't believe it at first." Xia Yushan interjected.
"You live up to your name, I hope during the Three Heavens Connection Meeting we will have a chance to spar."
Throughout the rest of the conversation He Yongli explicitly and implicitly hinted at sparring, the sooner the better. But thankfully with his fellow disciples there, He Yongli's goal was not accomplished.
Are you kidding me? I have to save my energy for the Three Heaven's Connection Meeting and then the ruin of the Immortal Court afterwards. I don't want to waste energy and make myself puke blood just so you can have a chance to fight me!
Soon Sect Master Xia gathered all the disciples and elders and gave them information as well as directions for the Three Heavens Connection Meeting. Tianyi even spied a few immortal realm elders standing next to the Sect Master.
'Tianyi, are you sure you are able to participate in the Three Heavens Connection Meeting?'
Tianyi heard a voice in his head and instantly recognized Sect Master Xia's voice.
'Yes, as long as I don't push myself most Core Formation realm cultivators should be no problem. If I were to really go all out I can even exchange a few moves with Nascent Soul realm cultivators'
Hearing this Sect Master Xia was satisfied.
Suddenly there was an indescribable pressure emanating from the sky, everyone looked up to see a fissure appear in the sky and out came two immortals.
Tianyi recognizes them instantly. One was his mother and the other was Grand Elder Zhang, Immortal Empress Voidink.
"Grand Elders, to what do I owe the occasion to?" Sect Master Xia asked as he greeted the two Grand Elders.
Mengfei didn't speak as the duo landed near the Sect Master, instead it was Grand Elder Zhang who spoke up first. "I haven't been out in a while. It just so happened that I wanted to go out and take a look. I'll be joining the journey to the Three Heavens Connection Meeting, I hope Sect Master won't mind?"
Mind? How could he mind? Although Grand Elder Zhang had rarely shown herself to the world these past few centuries to the point many younger cultivators forgot about her, but she once had her name spread throughout the world to the point no one didn't know her.
As for why such an esteemed Grand Elder would suddenly want to join in on a small matter as the Three Heavens Connection Meeting, Grand Elder Xi standing next to the Grand Elder Zhang was very thought provoking.
Grand Elder Zhang boarded the immortal boat, followed by the other immortals from the Buzhou Immortal Sect and the subordinate sects, then the Unity realm cultivators, the Nascent Soul realm cultivators, and finally the Core Formation realm cultivators.
Tianyi compared the immortal boat in front of him to his mother's. If his mother's immortal boat was a yacht, then this immortal boat was a bonafide cruise ship!
When Tianyi began walking towards the immortal boat, the people around him stiffened and Tianyi turned around to his mother walking towards him.
"Yi''er" Mengfei started to speak but stopped. "When you go be sure to eat well...sleep well be safe...and...come back safe."
Mengfei spoke as if she was reciting from a book, taking every few moments to recall the words she memorized before speaking of them. Tianyi helplessly smiled.
"Okay, I understand mother."
Mengfei nodded and then looked at Elder Meng who had been silently standing behind Tianyi.
"Take care of Yi'er for me, Elder Meng."
"Of course, Grand Elder."
It was only at this point when Elder Meng spoke that many people sensed her existence. It was as if she had become a transparent person to the surrounding people causing them to overlook her, even the other Unity Realm Venerables.
