Chapter 4: 6 Months of (Relative)Peace. || Chapter 4
Revan : Yuan Meteor stones. To think you banked the last the 3 on me Qin Chuan, then again. I did give you information you would not have discovered until it was too late.
Revan was currently in his sleeping quarters, lying on his bed1 Currently musing over what the future would be like, with all the derailments so far.
Sinking himself into his sea of consciousness he found a tiny astral being, "Godking Xi, Your ambitions to conquer the 9 heavens and rule unfettered, I will accomplish them for you now. Whatever relations you had with my father or were it he happened upon this fragment of your legacy by whatever means matter not.
""Father"", did you know what this meant? this artifact many belived to just be some inert yuan stone? It no longer matters, you chose to abandon me, and for that you will fall by my hands, even if i must bring thou from the great beyond." Hatred was all he felt in that moment, try as he might, he could not focus nor let go of it. His circumstances caused each emotion to be played on repeat. A cursed infection due in part to the recursive feedback loops it keeps receiving, both the symbiote and the viruses that make up his genetic structure now.
Still to unlock the memories sealed within this Tiny Astral Being, he would need a never ending pit of Yuan meteor stones.
He had no hope of getting enough of them to affect the Tiny Astral Being's memory repository, the average income of a house here in Sky Harmony City was only 2 of these Yuan Meteor stones at best, furthermore, these were only 1st grade stones, descended from the first heavenly layer. He would need at least 3rd Grade Yuan Meteor stones from the 3rd heavenly layer at a minimum to support the sheer void of input this tiny astral being requires to access its memories.
Revan : Well that settles it, join the divine weapon pavilion once i get to the capital of this Chu county.
Malice : isn't this a country?
Revan : I'm not looking to argue with myself over semantics, nor am i drunk enough to do so even i wanted to.
Malice : you could always help your little Qing Qing to condense an astral soul to pass the time.
Revan : ...
...
Revan : Qing Qing, what did I say? Attract the energy of constellations into yourself, spread it through your meridians and energy channels, and after which, lock them within your astral gate.
Now, return your astral projections back into the Nine Heavenly Layers, you should be able to condense an Astral Soul from 5th Heavenly Layer, I would ask thee to condense one from the 6th or 7th layers. But they contain some essence of laws or mandates, of which you do not have a bloodline nor the means to counter them by relying upon your cultivation base currently.
Revan's Melancholic voice drifited into Bai Qing, small tender ear's, "Sense it, Feel it. Look for the one that resonates the most with you, that which brings you comfort." Even though he wished to relay gentle guidance, it all sounded akin to disapproval and scorn, anger evident in his voice.
Hours later, Waves of chilling energy kept emanating from Bai Qing's being. Nowhere near as haunting nor demonic as Revan's but it didn't change the fact she had done it.
"6th Heavenly Layer?" A cruel smile formed on Revan's face. No wonder it took so long for her to condense an Astral Soul, even with him guiding and hijacking the driver's seat on occasion to forward the process. This lass, had defied what he told he and condensed one from the 6th heavenly layer instead of 5th he ordered.
"I did it, Thank you" Acting on impulse and adrenaline, Bai Qing jumped off the pedestal of blood and kissed him.
Revan : So does this I can tease you now?
Almost as quickly as Bai Qing jumped off the pedastal and kissed Revan, she attempted to retreat with, but found herself unable to in Revan's tight embrace.
"Come on now, you should rest now." with that said Revan dragged her to his sleeping quarters and threw her on his bed. "Don't worry, I will stand by what I said. But still, I need to cover up the glow of your astral soul. To mask it, if you will, can't have others trying to steal you from me." Revan said as he brought out needles from inside his coat. If only to spare her the horrifying sight of him morphing said needles from his flesh.
...
Seeing her still lying form, Revan couldn't help but muse, "Even though I went so far to prevent you from condensing a Yin attributed Patron1. Well, If Fate also wishes to stand in my way, then so be it. I.WILL.DESTROY.EVEN.FATE."
"Grow Strong for me little Qing. Strong enough to enslave Gods and demons. Strong enough that I do not have to worry bout losing you due to my own ineptitude and weakness." Revan growled in a hushed voice before leaving the room to find Qin Yao standing outside hiding behind a pillar. This jealous little miss.
Moving as though a shadow passed by, Revan quickly approached from behind Qin Yao, "Your left ass cheek was protruding out. Don't worry none are in the vicinity to see or hear, except for yours Truly."
Face red from both blushing and anger, Qin Yao attempted to turn around and scream but only found her lips being bound to Revan's Lips. The two of them were locked like that for what felt a long time, though it was for but moment. "So, would my big brother deign to explain what you were doing this late at night with the daughter of Bai Clan? is my little brother a Man now?" Qin Yao asked, face still red, now in heat from the kiss they shared, jealousy evident in her voice.
Revan : The same treatment you got, Masking the glow of her Astral Soul. Now, is that envy i hear in your voice? does little Yao Yao want to accompany me to bed from now? || Revan made no attempt to hide where his hands were going as he spoke.
As quickly as his hands reached her third base, they quickly retracted, "Fortunately for you, I have some business in the royal capital to take care of. I will return in a few weeks. Tell father to cover up my disappearance, and if anyone from the Bai clan asks tell them I am sick and currently bed ridden. Of course, since i have a reputation as a lecherous pervert and cripple, do let Bai Qing come daily to ""meet me in my room""."
After exiting the Qin clan Manor and heading in the direction of the Chu royal capital. he would speed up the process of deepening his pockets. of course, atm, the fastest way was for him to join Divine Weapon Pavilion of Chu and craft Divine weapons in order to gain Yuan Meteor Stones.
...
Bai Qing would wake up in the morning to discover a letter left for her, by her would be husband. The contents only described a few cultivating techniques for her and the single important question. "When the time comes, will you stand by your family who will eventually betray the Qin clan and your Master by extension or will you turn on your father and sister and stand with me." - Revan.
As if a devil possessed her, Tremendous amounts of Yin qi poured out from her, quickly saturating the room and her surroundings. her only response to this letter was to shred it apart. "They wouldn't. would they?" she was sure, her family won't betray them, the qin clan who has helped her and her family with such generosity. "would they lie, if i asked them" she did not know, she could only ask Revan when he came back.
