Becoming a cultivator

As meng xiao prepared to head out in getting more magic beasts for his daughter's awakening ceremony he heard a noise.

"The young miss has arrived from the forbidden forest alive and is heading back" a guard reported. Hearing this, everyone heads out to the altar.

Before meng xiao gets there, the whole family have arrived and is sorted in their respective sit arranged in order from the highest generation to the lowest.

"Come," the minister said to meng xiao.

Meng Xiao subconsciously followed, as she arrived at the feet of the altar she found a stair. To be fully awakened she must climb the stair to the highest as she overcomes the trial.

As she stepped on the first step, a strange phenomenon happened.

The bright sky turns dark as rain begins to fall on her.

It doesn't feel like a usual rain as it only falls on meng xiao and it is as hard as tiny rocks.

As meng xiao continues to ascend, the rain falls more heavily.

Her body is fully soaked with water and the rain droplet became bigger.

"One must overcome trail to be great in life" meng xiao said inwardly as she continue her journey.

"It feels like the more she climbs the greater the gravity as the steps became harder to climb.

When meng xiao reach the tenth step, the rain stopped and a powerful wind started. It feels like it wanted to blow meng xiao away increasing the toughness of the test.

As she continues, it becomes difficult to continue further as ten times more gravity is harsh for a weak human like her.

Meng Xiao continues to preserve the harsh climatic changes in the weather.

Getting to the twentieth step, a blazing fire descends from heaven as it circles her.

The heavenly fire let out waves of scorching heat which bring unbearable pain.

The fire radiate her skin and it covered all her body.

Looking as his daughter pass through pain, meng yan felt pity.

"Why does heaven want her to suffer this much? How can they give her such a trial" meng yan said inwardly.

Seeing how meng xiao suffers, meng xi and her brother smile. Seeing meng xiao pleased them. But when they see how she continues to preserve and continue moving forward they frown. "Why can't she just die".

The minister who stood at the apex of the altar dressed in pure white satin continue reading out loud the words on the long scroll and holding a prayer bead.

Meng Xiao who just climbed half of the stairs reaching the fiftieth. stair broke down in cold sweat.

The difficulty in raising her feet to climb raise drastically at a rapid pace.

She is now suffering under twenty times more gravity.

Now she is under attack from lightning, the purple lightning strikes her. The lightning bolt made her bend. Now her current posture isn't climbing, it is more like crawling.

As she made her way to the top, meng xiao finally manage to reach her destination.

"Bring the beast core" the minister said looking at the exhausted meng Xiao.

Meng Xiao uses the last bit of strength to tap a part of the spatial necklace and a golden halo appears in it, the beast's core is the black lightning snake.

The minister took the beast's core and smiled after he examined it"You are rare talent, you manage to kill a grade four magic beast and retrieve it's core" the minister said out loud.

"What!!!!!..... How is that possible" Meng Xi said with her eyes almost popping out.

The rest of the family members are as shocked as meng xi. "Since when did meng xiao became strong?" Was the question lingering in their mind?

Meng Su is equally shocked, when he saw the life force of the beast extinguished he forces himself to believe that it wasn't meng xiao who killed the beast but now seeing is believing. "The silver reflective mirror must be very effective. It's only a pity it has found its owner" Meng Su murmurs.

"An attendant brought out a little knife and hand it to the minister.

"Your hand please" the minister requested.

Meng Xiao stretches out her hand to the minister who cut an inch-deep wound on her hand.

As the blood drops on the beast's core a light bolt appears before her and it moves quickly crashing to heaven and dodging the cloud.

At that moment, meng xiao feels connected to nature. The feeling made her feel safe as the gentle breeze swept past get facet. She even hears the sound of the ant as they move a hundred kilometres away from her.

"(Initiating soul contract)" xui voice said.

Meng Xiao who has lost consciousness found herself in a dark world where everywhere is void of life force.

There she saw her past, how she suffered till she got to the apex of her former world. How she died. The memories brought tears.

In the alter, it feels like meng xiao's emotions affect the weather, sometimes it is bright and sometimes it is dark and gloomy.

As they watch meng xiao who is getting awakened, they notice something strange. "Her eyes turn golden and the sacred mark on her forehead became unstable.

Sometimes it shows the print of heaven and earth, sometimes it shows all the elements of nature and sometimes it showed the mark of time and space.

They were dumbfounded and the time taken for her to complete the rituals is getting longer than expected. If this goes on she can enter a state of coma.

After an hour, everywhere calmed and the sky went back to its normal form. On Meng Xiao's forehead, a pea size fire and watermark appear and she found it.

Meng Yan was scared that he yelled, "Guards go and bring me my daughter".
