As Ah Chun, Ning Shen and Qin Sha left the city a figure dressed in black with his face fully covered was staring at them with his hands clenched into fists. They were clenched so tightly that blood started to drip down as the droplets rained down to the ground. The figures gaze was filled with murderous intentions as he watched Ah Chun, Ning Shen, and Qin Sha's figures disappear from sight. Once he lost sight of them he then headed off in the same direction as them.
Ah Chun and her companions had no idea had been watching their movements. Mainly because Ah Chun was having to much fun teasing Ning Shen while Qin Sha was standing at the side watching over them. Ah Chun's carelessness was mainly due to Qin Sha's presence. With his strength, there was probably no one around this area of the Primordial Lands that could be considered his match. Ah Chun did not ask what realm he was in but she knew he was not of the Immortal Realm yet. She figured he was still in the Dao Root Realm. If Qin Sha was not around she would definitely be more vigilant than she was right now.
As they traveled night started to show signs of moving in. As the sun started to set, the stars in the sky were starting to show the splendor. The orange glow of the sun skimmed through the treetops leaving halos of light. At this time Ah Chun and the rest had arrived at a large river that was as wide as a small city. The area they decided to set up camp in was quiet and peaceful. The sound of the river flowing and the chirps of insects gave a nice relaxing feeling. Ah Chun was currently down by the river's edge sitting on a rock looking out across the water. Ning Shen stood by her side occasionally casting his gaze up at the girl on the rock. Ning Shen knew that these peaceful days were very limited, Ah Chun had told him about her vow to the heavens. He knew that her life will be filled with life-threatening experiences and full of bloodshed. This was the cost she would need to endure since she was the one to make her vow. He could only inwardly sigh and swear to himself that he will protect her no matter what it takes.
"Shen I wish days like this would never end. Even though I know that... That this is an impossible wish. I still wish for it." Ah Chun sighed. She knew her life was destined to be on filled with bloodshed. But she had no choice but to take everything in stride. Now that she had Ning Shen by her side she knew that she would at least not be lonely. But there were somethings that still scared her and that was due to her samsara. But she decided to push these certain experiences to the back of her mind.
"There will be a day when every day is just like this one." Ning Shen did not know what the future would hold but he would do all he can to make her wish come true. So that she can have days of nothing but peace. Once she was able to stand above all she would finally gain her wish.
"Shen look!" Ah Chun shouted. Night finally fell and the surroundings grew dark little green lights could be seen rising up and floating about. A smile bloomed on Ah Chun's face as she said: "So pretty!" Reaching her hand out one of the green lights landed on her fingertips it sat there for a few seconds before floating away. Ah Chun giggled as she continued to watch the little green lights.
"Earth Spirits and so many!" Ning Shen exclaimed. His eyes widen, he never would have thought he would see so many earth spirits in a group like this. "To think that there is a dense source of Spiritual Qi around here that allowed so many Earth Spirits to form."
Earth Spirits are entities that are formed from Spiritual Qi that gained life. They can only float around and are only visible at night. But they are a rare sight within the Primordial Lands. To form such entities it takes huge amounts of Spiritual Qi and tens of thousands of years till one forms. But right now there were hundreds right in front of them.
"I wonder where they all came from. It would take so long just for one to form but there are so many here! It's the first time I have ever seen such a sight!" Seeing such a mystical thing really put Ah Chun in a good mood. Even in her samsara, she would often see mystical things and every time she would love every moment of it.
As Ah Chun was watching the lights in front of her she felt something rubbing up against her arm. She looked down to see a white glowing ball next to her arm nudging into it. "Shen look what is this?" It was round and glowing white with one round eye. There was an air of calmness around it as if it was part of the air around them.
Ning Shen saw the white glowing ball and his mouth almost dropped to the floor. "S-S…" Ning Shen could not get his words out, his state of shock was too much as he stared at the white glowing ball.
