Chapter 007 Breaking Mortality Realm
…
Sung Jisoo tried to contain the excitement in her heart. This is because she has finally discovered that there is actually Reiki on this planet.
However, the Reiki in the pendant is not like the Reiki she usually absorbs while in her old world. The Reiki in the pendant is called Impure Reiki.
Reiki comes with different properties which are affected by its environment.
The most common Reiki in her old world is called Chaos Reiki. It is called Chaos Reiki because it is the combined property of two types of Reiki… the positive and negative Reiki.
They correspond to their Yin and Yang nature. Positive and Negative Reiki has many other types under them. Impure Reiki on the other hand could be considered as either positive or negative which depends on where it came from.
In her old world, chaotic Reiki is abundant and it could be seen everywhere.
But when she arrived in this world, she could do not even find any trace of Reiki which made her somewhat dissatisfied. Plus, she somewhat used her remaining Reiki to cure the deep wound on her leg, and yet it was not enough to fully cure it.
Upon thinking to this point, her mind suddenly recovered from her stupor.
She then looks at the two women who are looking at her weirdly.
"Ugh… Umm… Auntie… Can… Can I borrow this pendant for a while? I will return it to you later… no… tomorrow…" she said with an innocent grin.
Seeing her flustered appearance, Sonya Tang could not help but show a faint smile on her face.
"Silly child, that necklace might have been given to me by my husband, but it is not that valuable… You can have it if you want."
When Sung Jisoo heard this, she immediately showed an excited expression.
"Really? Oh… Auntie, you… thank you… I… I don't know what to say. But thank you… Thank you… very much…" she said with a big smile on her face.
Although feeling a bit weird, Sonya Tang just shook her head and smiled. What is a necklace compared to saving her daughter's life?
"Alright… You two get some rest after showering… it's been a really long day."
The two nodded their heads and stood up from the couch.
Sung Jisoo could not help but feel a bit weird again after realizing her reactions. However, she could not deny the fact that likes having such a feeling in her heart.
"I don't want to be known as the cold and calculative monster… This time, I want to live a full life… Hihi…" Sung Jisoo thought as she followed Anne Jing into a room.
The two began to choose some clothes. Luckily Anne Jing and Sung Jisoo are of the same size, so it was easy for Anne Jing to choose a pair of clothes for Sung Jisoo.
"Tomorrow, we will go shopping for clothes for you…" Anne Jing said with a hint of excitement in her eyes.
She suddenly grabs Sung Jisoo's small hands and then showed a slight smile on her pretty face.
"I always wanted to have a sister since I was small…" she said while biting her lip as if she is hesitating on something.
Sung Jisoo might be innocent of such familial feelings but she is not that stupid to not know what the young woman before her wanted to convey.
"You want me to be your sister?" Sung Jisoo said with a smile.
Anne Jing nodded her head.
The two smiled and then suddenly hugged each other.
Though feeling a bit weird again, Sung Jisoo liked this feeling of familial love. It's warm and wonderful.
Anne Jing showered first and then taught Sung Jisoo how to use the shower.
Before washing, Sung Jisoo checked her wound. She did not have any Reiki yet, so she decided to extract a small amount using a technique from the pendant to treat the wound.
After a while, she nodded in satisfaction at the result.
The milky white skin and jade smooth surface of the skin of her thigh return after the wound closes. It was as if there are no wounds in its place.
After washing herself, she immediately feels refreshed.
"Come here!" Anne Jing called after she noticed Sung Jisoo.
Sung Jisoo walked towards her and Anne Jing carefully dried her hair.
"I missed doing this... Before my mom and I would do this often, but lately… she became too busy at work…" she said while carefully wiping the long glossy hair of Sung Jisoo.
…
That night…
Sung Jisoo sat cross-legged in the living room while mysterious characters written in blood are drawn in a small circle on the floor tiles. She dare not do this inside Anne Jing's room as it might wake her up.
In the middle of the mysterious characters lies the jade pendant.
Sung Jisoo began forming a series of hand signs. She started slow, and then as time went by, the hand signs began to speed up.
It took her about 50 different hand signs before she finally ended with a clap as the mysterious characters suddenly reacted.
Strange energy began to emit from the jade which now shaking while on the floor.
The small clinking sound of the jade pendant is very distinct in the silent living room.
"I think this amount of impure Reiki is enough to promote my strength… I guess this jade pendant has absorbed the natural hidden Reiki in this world for a long time…" she thought as she could see the wisp of Reiki slowly slithering in the air like a rising snake.
Then she forms another hand signal which made the mysterious characters on the floor glow red.
The rising Reiki in the air scattered and flew downwards while being absorbed by the mysterious characters on the floor.
After a few minutes, everything turned dark once again.
Sung Jisoo immediately turns her concentration on the blood glyphs.
Unknown to her, a pair of eyes are wide open while looking at her in horror as she saw what is happening in the living room.
Because Sung Jisoo was fully immersed in what she is doing, she did not detect the presence of Sonya Tang.
A few minutes ago… Sonya Tang has just woken as she has not slept that deep yet. She wanted to go to the kitchen for a glass of water. But what she did not expect is to witness something incredible that she almost could not believe her own eyes.
It was very magical that her body froze on the spot.
She felt a little bit afraid now but did not shout for fear of attracting the attention of Sung Jisoo. She decided to sneakily go back to her room.
But she could not go back to sleep, she could not take her mind off what she has just witnessed in the living room.
"Is… Is she like… one of them?" she muttered as she forcefully closes her eyes.
"If she is… then… then we might have a chance to live, right?…" She thought as it seems that their luck has played one of its cards for them.
"Thank you… Thank you for continuously looking out on us." She muttered as a single tear slid down her cheek.
Her mind drifted towards the person that she loves the most, the man who gave his life for them.
…
Meanwhile, in the living room… Sung Jisoo has begun to absorb the Reiki that are in the blood glyphs.
"This is it… Arrgghh… It is not that much, but with the help of my blood, it will be enough for me to reach Breaking Mortality Realm 1st level…" she thought while gritting her teeth in pain.
Actually, what she is doing is a bit dangerous as she is forcefully using her own long lifespan to turn the impure Reiki into a chaotic one. With her long lifespan which has now reached about 10,000 years as a demi-god, she could sacrifice a bit of it for her to once again reach the 1st level of Breaking Mortality Realm.
Although she has her demi-god spark inside her body, it is useless in this world without Reiki. Hence she needed to get her physical strength first.
And once she became strong, then she could try to find more sources of Reiki.
The encounter she has with those two people in the forest has let her learn that she is just a weak woman on this planet. If not for her skills and techniques, she would surely be easily defeated.
To be able to live freely and enjoy her new life, she needed some strength.
Suddenly, she feels that something is changing from deep inside her body. It was her demi-god spark… it actually began to shake and suddenly releases a mustard seed-sized spark.
The spark traveled out and when it reaches her heart, it suddenly bursts.
The burst produces a very strong Reiki energy which immediately combined with the Reiki she just absorbed.
Then that spark energy transformed into Chaotic Reiki which spreads throughout her body.
In the process, Sung Jisoo clenches her fists and grits her teeth as her body began to change. She could feel the pain in her bones, and on her skin, along with her internal organs.
An hour has passed since she began to undergo the changes and suffer… and when she opened her eyes, a small smile crept on her face.
She did not excrete that many impurities from her pores because she has not stayed in this world for a long time and her body has not been tainted yet by the planet's filth.
So the change in her body is a bit apparent immediately because the glow in her aura has changed.
…
Meanwhile, inside the room of Sonya Tang, even after an hour of forcing herself to sleep, she still was not able to. She could not forget the things that she has just seen and the mysterious mist that appear from the ground.
"I can't sleep…" she muttered as she slowly got off from her bed.
She is feeling a bit curious and wanted to know what the current situation outside is.
But also feels a bit afraid. Although the girl looks innocent, what she just saw is clearly something out of this world. It is something that she accidentally has witnessed before.
"If… If she is like them, and she is a friend of Anne… then I should win her to our side…" she muttered as if she has suddenly gained the courage to face the unknown.
As she slowly tiptoes and opens her room door, she made sure that she made no sound at all.
Soon she has reached the living room.
But then… in the peripheral vision of her eyes, she suddenly caught a figure standing.
The body of Sonya Tang stiffened and her heart immediately skipped a beat.
