48 The Second Map 3

The problem with the lightning strikes was a tricky one, she can't exactly use the way which cruise ships use because... she ain't a ship!

Also because it's a mountain and there's no water, plus she hadn't had the chance to study the subject before she arrived here.

'First a lake now a lightning mountain what's next? The sky?!'

This was really giving her a headache, like seriously, those prevention and protection measures against the Primordial lands were a double edged sword.

A week later, Zi Hua headed to Lightning Bolt Trials.

Zi Hua wore a full coverage, metallic body suit and a similar helmet made of a see-through and not malleable material. It looked... rather ridiculous but if it was on earth it may have become a fashion trend, who knows.

She walked leisurely on the mountain, undisturbed by the lightning, if she was then all that hard work would've been for nothing, it had took her ages to figure out this suit and even wore it despite how ridiculous it looked.

Zi Hua wasn't worried about being electrocuted since she had had Xiao Zi test it out several times, of course, not whilst wearing it during the initial testing stages, she values her life and if she were to die, she at least wants it to be in a better way than her last life. Dying by asking your spirit beast to try to electrocute so you can test out a ridiculous looking suit isn't much better than slipping on a banana peel.

Seeing that she walked around unhindered the corner of her lips tugged up into a smile of satisfaction.

She followed the attraction from the flames which she already has and it soon led her to a familiar looking lantern with a violet glow.

However, there was a barrier preventing her from entering, one by a spirit beast, if she was correct it was made by Xiao Zi's ancestor, same with these lightning bolts, although the lightning bolts were normal, the ones surrounding the lantern were purple, just like Xiao Zi's.

From what she deduced, her master must've scattered the flames and made the maps then handed them to others and erased her own memories so that those people would not have any way of knowing their whereabouts.

Afterwards, those people killed her master and chased down the Lightning Purple Phoenix and Deep Sky Dragon until they reached Moonlight Continent, the Lightning Purple Phoenix must've visited and placed the lightning and barrier here as another precaution before it succumbed to it's injuries.

The legend about this place must've been spread by Lightning Purple Phoenix Sect.

If she was right then, Xiao Zi, a descendant should have no problem with the barrier.

"Xiao Zi"

"Here master" A young man with long purple hair tied up and crystal clear turquoise eyes appeared.

Spirit beasts only have one humanoid form, one which does not age, how unfair! Humans had little way of preserving their youth, though it's a different story if it's Zi Hua.

"Can you go through this barrier and get that lantern?"

"No problemo master" Xiao Zi then went past the barrier without a hitch.

After Xiao handed her the lantern and they both disappeared into the Heaven-defying artifact, Zi Hua went to absorb it as usual and when she finished about a month later, she brought out the flame to float on top of her palm and a beautiful spiral flame appeared.

'1st, 2nd, 3rd...70th'

"Ugh! I've f*cking had enough!" Just as Zi Hua exited her room, she heard Xiao Bai's scream and the sound of a book being thrown against the floor.

'Yup, she's going through a rebellious phrase, better reprimand her or else she'll think that she can do whatever and get off with it'

"Now, now, children shouldn't swear" Zi Hua lightly reprimanded her, screaming back may upset her, although she puts up a strong front, Xiao Bai's heart is very fragile, sensitive and emotional.

'You look a couple years younger than me though' But of course she couldn't say that out loud since we all know that you should NEVER EVER talk back, or else... she doesn't want to know... maybe confiscating and banning sweets! T~T

"But... this isn't fair! Half of the books I've read in the past 3 months that have a strong female protagonist...wahwahwah!"
