Chapter 1500 “Earth (1)”
Atop a towering snow peak without a hint of civilization, pristine and white due to the shimmering cold substance which blanketed this ground, Bai Yan slowly comes to after being thrust into the light. She rubs her forehead, feeling the stinging pain of crossing over time and space.
The lady had no illusion about what she experienced there. The uncomfortable sensation that’s throbbing in the forehead told her all that it needed to confirm the fact. However, what did catch the lady by surprise was the familiarity of the place she’s landed herself in.
Is this the Meri Snow Mountain?
According to her old memories of living back on earth, this Meri Snow Mountain was the exact place where she attempted that feat of concocting a ninth grade Dan pill, and also the very place where she got struck down by the lightning bolt due to her own carelessness and rash act.
I’m… I’m back?
Hurrying to glance down to her own clothes to confirm this wasn’t all just a huge ruse by her own head, perhaps the other world was all just a dream maybe? Anyways, Bai Yan saw the familiar red dress she wore before coming, for that, she’s relieved.
“Looks like my original body did get destroyed by the thunder back then so this time my body is the new one from the other world. But where’s my son, where’s Xiachen?”
Searching the nearby vicinity, the mother couldn’t find any traces of the boy. That could only mean one thing, the lad got transferred to another location other than the mountain here.
I will need to get off this peak and look for him, I’m sure he’s worried with me not around him.
……
In this region where Bai Yan lived in her previous life, there are four small hidden clans that wielded a lot of influence. The Bai Clan was among the ranks before she died, it’s also where her mother hailed from. Following that was the Wen Clan, Fu Clan and the Tian Clan.
Under normal circumstances, Bai Yan should technically be called Wen Yan due to her father being part of the Wen Clan. Unfortunately, that coward Wen Shan abandoned his wife during the crucial moment when the Fu Clan and Tian Clan attacked the Bai Clan as a united front. The man claimed that the other two parties had the rumored support of the Water Clan, the head boss of them all so he didn’t dare move against the foe out of fear for the risks involved.
In the end, the Bai Clan fell into ruins and Bai Yan’s mother and grandparents from that side of the family all died in that day. Since then, she changed her surname and left home of her own accord, never to return.
“All Heaven, is it you affecting me by restricting my powers?” Just now, the lady finally noticed the limit on her own powers after trying to tap into it. It’s still there but there’s no way to control it, presumably the act of her amulet.
It’s understandable in a way, Bai Yan could relate to why. After all, earth was a world without much spiritual energy in the air. Imagine a Celestial Ranked cultivator descending upon this world, it would cause catastrophic damage to the ecosystem. The only issue she had with this arrangement was that All Heaven didn’t even ask and instilled the restriction of its own accord.
Fine, but we’re going to have some serious talks about this is all over. You don’t go making decisions for me without my consent…. She murmurs, staring down at the amulet in her hand and making a sharp warning face.
As if frightened by that look, All Heaven actively vibrated like it’s making an apology. It’s an object, but that doesn’t there’s no will inside this item.
Pleased by the reaction, Bai Yan smirks in a half satisfied and half grumpy manner before breaking out into a frown. She still needs to get off this mountain. With her powers limited, flying would be troublesome but no difficult.
Yunnn~!
Perhaps it’s the amulet’s way of making up for the trouble, All Heaven suddenly releases a series of light that shrouded over Bai Yan’s body yet again. It sent her flying into the air despite not trying, allowing the lady to float through the sky at will without expending any energy.
……
Since the Bai Clan got destroyed many years ago by two of the oppositions, the opening position was eventually replaced by the Lin Clan who moved up thanks to that event. Therefore, the balance of power within the Wuxia world remains intact, merely a change in name and people with the Water Clan continuing to act as the head boss of them all.
It’s just that everyone has desires. If it’s in the past era where the sword reigns supreme then they would continue to remain in hiding. However, it’s the modern age on earth. Who wouldn’t want some flashiness in their life? They’re tired of the boring seclusion of the past, that’s why all four clans have now moved their base into the cities. Furthermore, their influences have now expanded past the Wuxia world and into the regular people’s lives like businesses and the military. They are not the government, nor a dictating force in a country, but the man power and positions these four families wielded couldn’t be underestimated.
Bai Yan could care less about those details right now of course. After she got off that snowy peak and into human civilization again, the first order of business this lady did was to undress herself and to replace those ancient styled clothes with something more modern.
