Chapter 649 - The Picture On The Wall Part 1

"What!?" Ceilie slumped down, almost ready to burst into tears. She really wanted to see her sister! She wanted to tell her she was okay!

"Aunty, we will see her again in the future. I know you wanted to see her, but Mama really had to go…." Angelica felt bad for Ceilie. Ceilie learned everything that had happened and how much Kana blamed herself for her death. Angelica did not want to hide it since it was something that broke their entire family apart. Now Ceilie felt bad for what happened and wanted to make sure Kana knew she was okay. Sadly Kana was unable to stay a few minutes more.

Nergal hugged Ceilie and sighed. "Angy is right. We will get to see her in the future…"

Back inside the Phoenix Star Temple, Kana had tears rolling down her face as she slumped to the floor, her actions startling Li Dong. "What happened!? Did You injure your soul!?" He how no idea how someone with such a strong soul would get injured. But he also could never remember what happened on the other side besides the fact that many souls wandered around. He may have just been one of the lucky ones.

Kana sniffed her snot and wiped her eyes, and shook her head. "No… My soul is fine. I am crying for another reason. Ignore me. It"s nothing." Kana did not want to talk about it as she would cry even more. But this incident made her even more determined to get stronger. Her baby was all grown up and so powerful now. She did not wish to be left behind. She had to grow stronger and quickly!

Shaking her head and patting her cheeks Kana stood up and looked at Li Dong. "Do I pa.s.s?"

"Huh? Ye-Yes…" He was out of it. He was still confused as to what was going on. But seeing Kana seemingly alright and just red eyed from crying, he let out a sigh of relief. "You pa.s.sed all the trials allowing you to inherit my Phoenix Star Temple"s inheritance. I hope the information and techniques you will acquire will be of some help to you."

"Any kind of help is welcome. I still have a long road ahead of me, and I wish to rise up as quickly as possible. " Kana replied without hesitation. She would not pa.s.s up any chances to make herself stronger.

"Then I will bring you to the place. How much you can gain from it is up to your comprehension ability. But be warned, it can be a strain on your body, mind, and soul." Li Dong"s inheritance was not something he himself had created, although he will say it is his since it fell into his hands. Even he has not been able to comprehend much from the inheritance as it is very profound. He thinks the inheritance is not something from this plane of existence.

Kana was brought to a small room. It was dimly lit with candles and only had a soft looking cus.h.i.+on and a large picture hanging on the wall. The thing about this picture was that it was a picture of a young woman holding a sword. She stood on top of piles of dead bodies with her sword in the air. Blood was dripping from the open wounds on her body. She looked mighty and majestic.

With a single glance, Kana felt an overpowering pressure charging into her min. Her head buzzed and felt like it was going to explode, but at the same time, she could not draw her eyes away. Something was telling her that this picture, although it looked like a normal painting, had something she needed. She completely ignored Li Dong as she walked over to the cus.h.i.+on and directly sat down. The entire time she never took her eyes off the painting.

Li Dong knew Kana was already drawn to the picture and nodded his head. He had also become like this when he first saw this painting. He was unable to draw himself from it for almost an entire year. He quietly took his leave after leaving a few bottles of fasting pills and healing pills just in case.

He went directly to another room where a loud bang was heard: "Ahh! Almost!"

Li Dong looked around the training room to see many pits in the grounds and walls and was very surprised. "You are still having a hard time controlling it?"

"I can not seem to rotate my spiritual qi like it says. I am not sure what the problem is…" Ako felt depressed. She had spent so much time learning a few techniques. While she learned two of the attack techniques, the last one was very strange and required her to rotate the spiritual qi in her body in a strange manner. But this technique was something that would not only help herself but Kana as well as it was a movement technique.

"I will watch, so rotate your spiritual qi according to the method explained in the jade slip." Li dong instructed.

Ako did just that as Li Dong watched. After a few rotations, he began to frown. "You are poisoned! Normally it would be hard to tell with your race, but I can tell by how the spiritual qi in your body is getting stuck on the final revolution. Slime meridians are different than humans and other monsters as they are almost impossible to detect, but when a slime rotates their spiritual qi, it is possible to sense it if you concentrate hard enough. Your key meridian has a black and purplish aura on it… If I am not wrong, this is a soul taker poison. It will not harm you right now, but if you were to try breakthrough past fifth rank divine beasts, you would end up having your soul shattered… This is truly…. Whoever did this wish you pain beyond death before you died… Very cruel."

Ako"s expression froze. She looked at Li Dong pleadingly. She had no way of getting rid of any kind of poison. Li Dong sighed he also had no way of helping her as he never dabbled into pill refinement. "I can only say it would be best for you to actually repress your cultivation and stop your body from taking spiritual qi into your beast core at this time.. You can only hope to find help on the outside. "
