Wudang: Legends Of Qi Earth

Suiyan who had the highest cultivation was at the peak of the earth gate, Red Dragon was already in the heaven"s gate realms, and he"s been there for the better part of 45 years. He could flatten them all before they could even say a name. But n.o.body was afraid, they might not be able to stand up to the bullying of the Emperor, but they would definitely be standing up to this bully, if it"s a fight he wants, then it"s a fight he"ll get.

Alex"s entire body caught on fire, Shocking everyone who was there, they all took a step back as the flames died down, but instead of Alex there was someone else standing there. He was taller, his orange, red and green hair seemed alive like the flames of the sun, underneath his feet were a pair of wheels that slowly rotated and kept him aloft. He stretched out his hands and a spear blasted out from within the manor to land snugly in his hands as he looked down on Red Dragon as a man would look at an ant. Anybody who knew about Alex by know, knew exactly who and what they were looking at, anyone who knew a bit about the legends of the earth also knew who was floating in the air at that moment, and not just them, the world itself knew who had appeared, and it celebrated.

The earth trembled as all of the energy, either Mana, or Qi began to surge and compress, and then increase in volume and quality. New life were born, more stronger than before, new treasure were born and both underground, in the oceans, on land, numerous volcanoes surged into the sky, releasing fire and Ash that swirled and moved through the air heading for his direction. Mystics with limited abilities and control over spirit energy had visions and Prophecies, the very spirit of earth itself telling them of it"s joy. The heavens glowed with an Aurora of lights, causing a phenomenon all over the world, not many could understand why the planet would be so happy, but few did. And it was simple...…a G.o.d has descended!

"Is there any particular way that you would like to die?" Nezha"s voice was deeper, but yet had a clarity and purity so startling the only thing you could compare it to, was fire. But Nezha knew this was just for a little while, taking possession of Alex"s body and manifesting a partial cut of the full scope of his powers was tasking on Alex, he wasn"t strong enough and if Nezha didn"t pull off his bluff quickly, he could burn Alex into Ash, body, mind, soul, and spirit.

"Leave quickly mortal! My patience for you runs thin!" however it was obvious that Red Dragon had no intention of backing off from this fight, unfortunately for him though, there were others who would rather avoid having the wrath of a G.o.d visited upon the sect, those of them who were actually privy to the true history of the world.

"Stay your hand Lu Zhao! Please show Mercy great G.o.d of fire and justice! My son has not been taught well by me. I shall remove him immediately!"

Seconds weren"t enough to describe how fast the sect head used in appearing and fleeing with both Red Dragon and Lu Wan in tow, Nezha might not be strong as he used to be, but the power he just showed was well beyond the heaven gate realms, it was a power none were ready to contend with.

Nezha didn"t stay too long either or said anything else, he was pressed for time anyways as he relinquished control of Alex"s body. Flames once again covered Alex"s body as all of the fiery phenomenon of the earth settled down, Ash floated down from the sky across major cities in the world, Alex was hunched over, leaning over his spear with sweat all over his body. His knees shook and his breath was heavy as he fought to stay conscious.

Things have been quiet for a while, he couldn"t help but think he was glad that there was something to stir things up and make tonight quite eventful. But then again maybe it was a little too eventful and some peace and quiet would actually be nice. Alex turned to look at his dad who rubbed his hand on his head.

"I hear you"ll be heading to the Earth Alliance Defense Academy, you"ll be heading to the best school for warriors in the entire world, not even the sects themselves could compare. I left a few gifts for you in your room, it probably wouldn"t compare to what your mom or Grandfather or the princess might give you, but it"s from my heart. You"re a little tired now, so the next time I see you, we"re going to have our battle, is that okay?"

Alex knew this was goodbye, he knew that no matter how much he wanted his father close to him, them being near each wasn"t safe for the other and Alex could feel his father had gotten stronger, just like had promised, in just under a year he had gone from the open Dantian realm to the peak of the true element realm and almost into the earth gate, his advancement was ridiculously fast compared to Alex"s at the early stages as it"s supposed to be harder at the latter stages. Alex was too tired to say anything, so he just gave his dad a nod and a small smile, then his father turned to the princess.

"I know with you royals everything is politics, but I thank you for coming to look for me, I thank you for this gift of letting me be here with him on this day and for standing up for me. Whether you mean wrong or right, my son and I will never forget it, but I do not approve of you being his wife, you"re a trap, a darkness that has been thrust upon him by the Emperor, and I can"t forgive you or him for that, whether or not it"s your fault. But if you"re going to be his darkness, then work hand in hand with his light to protect him, because I"ve raised him well enough to know that if it"s the right thing, he"ll protect you to both your dying breaths. Whatever game the emperor is playing, it"s not worth your soul or your happiness, protect your marriage, because it will be the only real thing that belongs to you in this world, whether you love each other or not. The same goes for you Anya, and you too Alex! Always do the right thing, even though sometimes the right thing would seem like the wrong thing is actually the right thing. Stand by your choices and fight hard, until we meet again."

And then right in front of everyone, Ben unfurled a scroll with a painting on it, one flash of light later he was gone, leaving the scroll behind, and painting slowly fading away from view, much too fast for anyone to be able to memorize it. Alex looked up at his mother and the people who had been invited and had now become onlookers, she seemed to catch his meaning as she said.

"well the party is over then, please let me see you out." And with that done, Alex could now happily pa.s.s out in peace.

30,000 FEET IN THE AIR

IN TRANSIT

LU VICTORIA ALBION

"h.e.l.lo mother, I trust you"re doing well in the palace?" Victoria asked, speaking into the phone held to her ear.

"Don"t banter with me Tori I"m your mother! Now how was my little girl"s engagement?" a youthful but somewhat elderly voice spoke from the other side of the phone.

"It was drab at first, I understand the boy does not feel in control of his fate and destiny and is trying to make things right. He"s lot more smarter and wiser than we gave him credit for, and a lot more mature." Victoria answered her mother as she looked out the window of the airship she was in.

"Of course he"s a lot more mature than normal, he"s a Zhang! The world has been trying to bury the light of the family for centuries, forcing their young ones to grow too fast, and too smart. They"re built of tough stuff, so he"ll be fine and probably find a way to make all this arrangements work in his favor. But still how are you daughter? This is your future in play here, your father is a monster to his deepest core, but in the end you"re still human, how are you feeling?" Victoria was silent for a while, not at all sure which word would properly describe how or what she was feeling right now.

"I feel optimistic mother!" she answered after a while.

"Optimistic? How?"

"My Betrothed is weak, terribly so that a simple sneeze from my father would kill him, however the power of the G.o.ds sleep within him, and I"ve been able to bear witness to it. I"m sure by now you"ve heard about what happened and the descent of a G.o.d of fire by way of possession, he"s the only one capable of doing that, and the power a G.o.d commands? I"ve bore witness to it mother, it"s incredible. There"s a higher level beyond the heaven"s gate and today I"ve caught a glimpse of it."

"Interesting; well then daughter what do you intend to do about this discovery, especially with the pressure and schemes of your father in play."

"It seems no matter what I do, the universe wants me to belong to someone, there are two options, one is not a choice and the other is a gamble, even with all of his potential.....so it"s up to make a choice, sink or swim I have to make a stand and choose who I"m giving myself…....and I"ve decided to do so."

"Really? Would you tell me which choice you"ve made daughter?"

"You don"t have to worry about that Imperial mother, you"ll know sooner enough, just as he already knows....that I belong to him."
