Up in the lightning zone, two souls could be seen showering amidst lightning. Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er were refining their souls and psyche, while Grandmother Lu guarded their bodies in the cave dwelling. The deer monster was loyal to Qiu Jin'er and never left her side.
The two souls in the lightning zone held hands, exposing themselves to the lightning, accepting the baptism of the thunder as they rose higher and higher. They gazed at the changes in the lightning, watching them as they morphed into the shapes of the dragons, phoenixes, flowers and grasses. Beneath their feet were just thin clouds, hovering above the mountains.
That year, Zhong Yue was sixteen; Qiu Jin'er fourteen.
