In the location where Meredith has been training for a while, the phenomenon disappeared, calmness returned to the cave.
On the out side on the other hand was not so peaceful.
Meredith opened her eyes.
With a deep breath she exhaled, her breath could be seen, the cave was cold, the cave was dared, she willed her Fire Qi from her energy seed, in the process seen the size of her Qi and double, even though they were of the same elements.
The aura gave off was different, the 100 qi drops she condensed during the time she passed out for whatever the reason, she could tell it was disordered jumbled as if fighting to leave few strands even found their way through her meridians.
possible if she had not used the Qi she had before an created an empty space in the center the qi would not have been contained so well.
Perhaps this is reason cultivation is done in stages, if her qi had tripled, she would not be so calm, decided to start taming the unrestrained qi especially the Fire Qi pool, drawing with the ratio of 50-50 to keep it balance.
Releasing motes of light in the cave, she could see how it had changed, few sheets of ice covered the walls and ground.
Not sure why the temp dropped so suddenly.
'Remi what happened when I was out'
Not sure what even happened, it affected me too.
'Huh'
{Edith what happened}
[Before coming a request was sent to the world's will, it had just accepted the request, the energy phenomena could be considered a gift of sorts, one extremely generous.]
{The planet is sentient?}
[Most cultivation world are, even some ordinary worlds have wills of their own. This one is old a few billion years, it could be said it was forming as earlier as the planet cam to from, such circumstances are rare in this universe about, one in a trillion]
'Wow gifts all around, wondered what I had done to deserve such a welcome'
{what if the request wasn't accepted?}
[You would be attacked both passively and actively, you would be considered as a virus, anomaly on the planet where ever you go, trouble would always find you, if you are not accepted on the planet you ascended from few planets will would accept your soul.]
Taking in the information as it may be useful in the future, after all one might never know.

Seeing that more meridians had opened, she was able to use more qi pathways, effectively increasing the flow, she could use both an attacking and defense technique, more freely.
She had notice it, some time she would stall, between switching from, movement > attacking.
Or if she had her defense, she could not draw out much Qi for movement art or attacking techniques, she had though at the time was because of her mastery, guess she was wrong.
{Edith a prime meridian had open what's its purpose?}
Normally one would have to reach rank 6 to open this meridian, it its responsible for absorbing Soul Qi and Essence.
[ The latter when one entered the Nascent soul realm, in this realm one gains their soul sense, which is when their mental energy can be projected out forming a small Circular domain, the size and strength is different, as for the power]
{Any benefits for unlocking it now?}
[Yes, many, one your visual perception and other had increased but at least a factor of 2 to a maximum of 10, memory has improved thinking speed improved, soul-based art that are practice are more powerful when used, you can observer your body details, not just your energy seed.]
[Should you receive a soul-based art you can cultivate soul Qi in advance
Even before entering rank 6 of cultivation.]
[Please be mindful, activation your heavens eyes might grant you increased perception but at a cost of mental energy, at your level of cultivation, you don't have much, hence using for and extended period will have severe effects, over drawing could leave you defenseless as such caution if advise]
[ A strange energy in your soul, caused a ripple effect, the energy synchronized and was recognized be the heaven's, its existence was allowed, with the Heaven recognition, you gain some benefits in the process]
[ Pleased be warned, attention of the heaven's usually bring trouble, as you now possess something that is very attractive, Meredith it its recommended you leave you current location as soon as possible]
As soon as Meredith read the last line, a sense of dread came over her.
On instinct Meredith Quickly distancing herself.
**Boom**
A loud sound echoed in the cave, the small motes of lights floating around were blow back by the powerful focused that had breached the cave walls, even though Meredith and retreated she was still caught in the shock wave.
Thrown back dozens of meters even from her initial distance had withdrawn from.
Suddenly the feeling of dread increased, Meredith body froze as something with big yellow eyes looked in her direction.
The eyes both captivating, how the same sight was soul stilling.
Meredith purples dilated, her heart skipped a few beats, blood cold, a thin layer of sweat formed over her skin, Breath hitched, seemly have forgotten to breath
Never in her life Meredith have felt such overwhelming feeling of death.
'Mary, Mary, Mary, you must move, or else will die here, Mary!!!'
Remi tried contacting Meredith though their shared connection.
Seeing her unresponsive, Remi tried to take control of Meredith body to retreat.
Only to review the overwhelming feeling Meredith felt. she understood, why Edith was unresponsive.
Meredith reaction was no one with out great cause. The creature in front of her was a lesser sub species of the flood dragon, instead of water, its main attribute is earth with poison second.
Its massive size showed it at leased crossed the Foundation Establishment realm as for how far it would have to be checked later, current Meredith has to snapped out of her trance of facing in order to stand a chance of facing this beast.
….
Inside Meredith, Remi Mindspace
Remi frowned, trying not to panic Mary was already down mentality and her body even though she can take control, on her on it doesn't change much with the overwhelming feeling, caused by that big yellow eyed creature.
Mary's body is incredibly sluggish, both her and Mary would have to work together to resist it influence but first she had to think of a way to break Mary out of her mental lock.
Remember the new prime meridians recently unlocked and information on it she decided to try her luck.
Directing the gentlest qi to that point hoping it would change the situation.
Edith had said something about mental energy, perhaps a massive increase would help reduce the strain on her body, perhaps waken Mary too.
Shit this feels uncomfortable not begin able to move in your own dam body.
I am going skin whoever is causing this blood pressure, though she wondered if she could do the same, she would have to try later.
