The Hidden Myth of Ji Dara

[After all, it's your mindscape, so you can create whatever you think of in here, and that is according to the rumors because I have never met anyone who has reached this Realm…]

[Others even claimed that once you reach a certain stage of cultivation, you could project this mindscape of yours into the physical world and it would exist…]

[But as for the Primordial Realm, no one knows, not even the expert who gave my First Bloodline Ancestor a sneak peek into catastrophic knowledge...] He added…

[But I must remind you, the moment you pick a link, it won't matter even if you are done absorbing the Qi or not, the Realm you are in would mysteriously expel you out of the Qi Sensing Trial immediately…] Long added;

[Anything else I need to know before I start?] Dara asked;

[Nothing that I can remember for now… To begin, simply jump into that stream of Qi and it would take you into the Mortal Scape first…]

Long added as Dara began to stare at the steady flow of Qi that was streaming from his cultivation through the roots then into his Dao Tree…

Sam and Long waited for hours but Dara didn't move an inch and just as Dara was about to jump in;

[Wait!] Sam blurted as Dara froze on the spot;

[What is it!?] Long bellowed at Sam in fury…

He had just explained how delicate this process was, and Sam had to wait till Dara was about to enter before shouting, an action that can cause Dara to fall into the stream of Qi with a disturbed mind which would definitely affect him once it was time to pick…

[I didn't mean to cause any problems… But I was just thinking;] [Is there any wat I can go first…]

[Just to try my luck and let him witness it, so that he can know what to expect?]

The moment Sam said that, Dara quickly looked at Long with an anticipative gaze, but Long himself was gob-smacked by the question;

[T-th-that's possible!] Long stuttered in joy;

[Due to the fact that, one's Realm Link is a very closely guarded secret, no one is ever allowed to spectate such a journey out of fear that they might sabotage one's pick and destroy their future before it even begins…]

[But most parent would spectate their child's Link selection trial to help him chose the best possible link, but I felt it might sound somewhat intrusive and scheming if I proposed it first…] Long explained;

[Enough with the explanation, how do we do it?]

[Does he have to simply jump into the stream?] Dara asked out of joy;

[You this stupid fool, are you trying to destroy your future!?]

[You want someone else to pick a link for you!?] Long snapped at Dara who froze in shock;

[It seems I would have to be watching what I tell you in the future… To think such a dangerous and careless thought would even cross your mundane mind!]

Dara felt violated and hurt, but he knew Long was speaking the truth and was simply chastising him for his own good…

[Dao Trees can only be found within one's mindscape, which means as long as you have a mind of your own, then you will surely have a Dao Tree of you own…]

Long didn't just explain by speech, but instead warped them out of Dara's mindscape into his own with a thought; after all, he has a much stronger mental cultivation than the duo combined;

[Woah!]

On arriving, Sam and Dara blurted simultaneously as took in the sight…

They were standing on a massive island the size of china with a black colored tree that towered so high into the sky that they couldn't even see where the trunk began, because the only thing they could see were black roots;

[So huge!]

Dara blurted whilst Long smugly allowed them experience the scene just to improve their drive for what they were about to do…

The water body on which the island they were standing on was so large, that they couldn't even see the land that made it a lake…

There were insane amount of Qi in here which were packed together to form clouds that covered the entire sky in here, causing it to look just like the outside world, only more than 10,000 bigger…

[Is this what a Spirit Realm Link looks like?] Sam asked; [Of-course not…] Long chuckled;

[Whilst the Spirit Real Link gives me a sea of consciousness and a place to store Qi, all these seas of consciousness is from my mental cultivation which I had earned with my blood, sweat and tears…] Long explained;

[Damn! From this patch of cloud alone, we could fashion out 10 million Qi Stones for all out tribe members and still have many more Qi Stones left, and to think it is just the smallest patch of cloud in sight!] Dara blurted before asking in wonder;

[Just how strong were you in your prime!?]

[I don't mean to brag, but even if I told you, you will still not understand, simply because only a Spirit Realm Linked cultivator can understand what another Spirit Realm Linked cultivator's mindscape is all about…] Long added;

[Don't worry, I believe you will surpass me, but if you can at least Link the Spirit Realm, then once you begin to store Qi within your mindscape, you will understand how many Qi stones this tiny little patch of cloud could make…] Long added;

[Alright, we shouldn't waste time… Sam, lead us into your mindscape…]

[Eh? Um…] Sam gave an awkward smile; 

[I don't know how to do that…] He confessed;

[Eh?] Dara was stunned;

[It is understandable, he might be born into a world of mortals where there is no cultivation, so it is not a shocker…] Long laughed before adding;

[Alright, just think about your happiest moments, or the things you love or long for the most…]

[Oh that's easy…]

Sam said as he shut his eyes and thought about Ivory and Jacob, and the moment his thoughts wandered, Long tapped into it and instantly, they all appeared within an utterly dark space…

They could see nothing except from a white colored Dao Tree which was barren and simply looked like a tree that hasn't seen water in ten thousand eons…
