Kong Xiang quickly hurried back in excitement. Back in his Chambers, he settled down and brought out the figurine his new master gave him.
In his hands was a seemingly ordinary piece of wood that produced no fluctuations, yet it possessed a mystical charm that left his heart palpitating furiously.
The figurine was a mold of a proud looking person. The face was apathetic and held a presence that would leave sovereigns dying in inferiority. In short, it commanded absolute respect.
He looked carefully at the figurine again, trying to find some clues hidden at first sight but he had no gains. He sighed and said out loud, "I guess I should do what Master says"
According to the method Master Fei told him, he held it to his glabella and uttered the word, 'Tu'
The scene before his eyes changed and his consciousness was brought to a different space. The scene before his eyes now was one of apocalyptic destruction. Looking up above him, he saw thunderous lightning that filled the sky. The colour was bloody red and screamed rage. Fortunately, there was a mysterious energy protecting him.
"Where is this place? A memory? An inheritance space? A real world?" Kong Xiang could swear that there were drum sounds right now coming from the heavens, warlike beats that stimulated his battle intent.
"Sango oooooo!" A mighty voice screamed, the tone expressing anger. Kong Xiang knew with no doubt that that voice alone was sufficient to wipe him from existence forever. The person who shouted wore protective clothings and charms, and behind him were millions of soldiers, all equipped with blades and machetes.
Everywhere became still, and the person in the figurine appeared from the sky as a flash of lightning. His clothes were red and black, with cornrows on his head and cowries adorning his perfect body. From afar, Kong Xiang felt the innate urge to worship his divinity.
Sango looked nonchalantly at the person who called his name. His cold eyes caused flames to flare up around him, drastically increasing the temperature to an unbelievably hot state. His gaze shifted to the sky and he stretched forward a hand and beckoned to the lightning clouds.
Everywhere became void of light as lightning from the heavens congregated in his hands, manifesting a shape. At the same time, Sango became lightning personified, turning to a human shaped Manifestation of lightning.
At the same time, in the Zero Firmament Sect, everywhere fell into darkness, startling all the disciples and the elders in seclusion. The Sect Leader tried to unleash a lightning bolt, only to find out he had lost his connection to his Cultivation, being in a mortal state at the moment. This phenomenon was observed by all the disciples and elders too, as they fell into panic trying to use origin energy.
A single bolt of lightning flashed across the sky then, filled with majestic beauty and ruthlessness, returning light to the world.
Back in the mental space Kong Xiang was pulled into, the lightning manifested to an axe shape, and Sango waved it at the Invaders.
CRACKLE.
Space was torn apart as all the enemies were swallowed up and exterminated till no bit of them remained. Like it was nothing, Sango turned back and looked right at the spot where Kong Xiang was, meeting his gaze. Instantly, Kong Xiang felt his mind explode and found himself back in the real world.
"What just happened?" He was in a confused state and examined his body, finding nothing out of place. He had no idea the All Invincible Sphere in his Sea of Consciousness was shaking fearfully.
He decided to do a more thorough examination, looking at every inch of his body after which he examined his Cyclic Core. For some reason, he had the faint thought that he was overlooking something very important. He was interrupted by a knock on his door. He got up and opened it.
"Senior Apprentice Brother, are you okay?" It was Yu Yan, her voice laced with some uncertainty.
"What is wrong? What is going on" He questioned.
"You don't know?"
"Know what?" She looked at him like he was speaking jargons.
"What were you doing five minutes ago?" She questioned.
"I was in meditation" They took a walk.
"You didn't notice anything out of place?"
"Out of place? What do you mean?"
"Well, everywhere was suddenly dark and we couldn't use origin energy. Then, there was a bolt of lightning that..." She let him in on what happened. Kong Xiang mentally concluded that the scene he saw in that space somehow caused all this. Yu Yan was still talking, "I was so frightened when it happened. I thought I had lost my cultivation. I couldn't even unleash a single flame" A tongue of flame appeared in her hands. Yu Yan was a dual elemental cultivator of lightning and fire. Kong Xiang's face suddenly showed an expression of shock and disbelief.
"Could it be?" Yu Yan was baffled, "Could it be what?" Her question was unanswered as Kong Xiang hurriedly waved his hands and rushed away at full speed.
"Senior Apprentice Brother Kong?" She shouted at the vanishing figure.
