He concentrated his energy and spread in surroundings. First his secret guards woke up and then rest of the mansion.

Liu Shen stood in front of him and shook in anger. "Sect of Undying Death? My father did all to kill them all, but they suddenly disappeared. Liu Mei... she told me story about the other world."

"I know. Listen well. I think there is someone who can open doors between worlds. Maybe when they opened the door, she came back as well. They didn't expect it. But what is this about woman that looks like her?" He couldn't understand.

"There is another female from Liu family that was gone as well. Liu You. She was my uncles daughter. It might be possible that they look similar. Females in our family look like our great grandmother." Liu Shen went to his bookshelf and took few scrolls he found in old storage. "Look. My grandmother, my aunts... all look similar."

Indeed. The paintings all showed similar features. Almost like showing same person but in different clothes and different time period.

"How interesting. But why is she working for them?" The Emperor shook his head jot understanding.

"What if she has no other way? She disappeared when she was just a baby. What if they raised her and instilled such thoughts into her mind? Liu Mei could be considered still fine. What if that child was not as lucky as Liu Mei?" Liu Shen was at that time young as well.

"Lucky?" If that is lucky... "Wait. What about her story then, is it true? But how is it possible? She was clearly pure that day."

Their first night was clear as day. Even those women that checked her body said she never gave birth, but what happened?

Suddenly an old voice could be heard. "Emperor..."

Old monk staggered inside and almost fell. Liu Shen jumped and caught him on time.

The Emperor rushed to help him sit down. "What is going in?"

"The Heavens moved. We must send your wife to that world. I wanted to keep her safe far away, but got message from my young apprentice that she is followed by some people. He is trying to shake them off, but I fear their target is Empress and the child. After I send them away it will take me longer to bring them back. Whoever opened the doors between worlds must be quite powerful. Be careful. You... you must start cultivating your powers if you want your wife back. Only you will be able to open doors between world from now on. I will go there with her to be link between worlds. Cultivate your powers or you won't be able to fight them. You have godly power given as a gift by your birth. Too bad you never cultivated it. On throne there is spirit pad your great grandfather used. He had powers as well. Hu..." The monk suddenly puked blood. "I'm getting old. Call Liu Mei, I have to save my power for transition."

"How?" Emperor had no idea how to handle his powers.

"Just imagine her. You will see her moving picture." Old monk rolled his eyes as he drank tea. "Try."

The Emperor imagined Liu Mei and really her picture became clear. She was stunned to see him. "Huh?"

"Liu Mei, you must go back to that world. It seems those forces are after you." The old monk cane forward and spoke to her. "Only that world can protect you as they have power only to open the gate between the worlds, but no powers inside. You should be careful there."

"Can I use space there?" She suddenly had an idea.

"Yes. I will come with you. I made special thing with that space, you'll understand why. Anyway, let's go." He was about to start chanting when Emperor stopped him.

"Old man stop. First teach me how to open doors between worlds. Or is it as easy as making this moving picture?" He saw Liu Mei but she looked like ghost as he couldn't touch her.

"Oh yes, my old brain. You need to learn this scripture by heart. When you finish learning it, burn it. Then use your energy to write it in front of your eyes. Just like you made this connection. But be warned. It is not as simple as you think. You must learn every dot. Or the scripture won't work. If you successfully destroy the forces and learn this scripture, you might as well get her even faster back. The faster you learn and the stronger your powers are, the faster you will see her. Now let me do it." He inhaled deeply sat on mid of floor and started chanting and one by one word was shown in air, almost like burned into invisible wall, shining with strange bright light.

Liu Mei stood there and looked at her friends. "I don't know can we all move there. If not, go back to the palace and wait for me. Be careful, all of you. Xiao Ran, you must learn about your powers as well. Not for my sake. For your own. Understood?"

They waited a bit and saw only her body fading slowly. Then they knew they will separate. So she quickly gave them few orders.

She had no idea if she will be able to come back. So she had to make sure this child is safe. "Xiao Ran, Hua Roulan I'll miss you."

She wanted to hug the two women as she could feel strange force enveloping her. With a smile she started fading away. "Be careful and wait for me. And Hua Roulan, I hope to see my godchildren when I come back, understood!"

She disappeared and first there was silence then a beautiful laugh broke silence. Xiao Ran had tears in her eyes as she pointed at Hua Roulan. "She just told you to get married!"

"You!" Hua Roulan knocked her head and then hugged her. She started crying like there is no end. "Our Empress! Our Empress!!!"

"Stupid! She is not dead. I think that the idea was not wrong. Definitely better than being chased by those people." Just as Xiao Ran finished speaking, she suddenly had a strange feeling and turned around...
