The White Phoenix

Chapter 12 - Meeting

Because I like watching several different Chinese dramas, some of the characters are from or inspired by some of them. A couple of them would be Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms, Eternal Love of Dream, and Ancient Love Poetry.

Yīnuò and Annchi began to slowly make their way inside the mounds. The energy was so heavy it was hard to breathe. It was too much for them to cleanse it on their own. They needed someone stronger to cleanse the area.

"Wei Wuxian?" Annchi called out as she entered the mounds, "Wei Wuxian?!"

"Are you sure you want to call him? He may have taken in the negative energy," Yīnuò asked.

"We have to do something...maybe you should go back to your father and tell him he is in this area," Annchi suggested.

"I can't leave you here alone, what if something happens to you?" Yīnuò asked, "I don't want to leave you."

Annchi smiled, "it's alright, but we need to inform Tian Jun. Because Wei Wuxian is in the mounds somewhere, he could become more dangerous. We need reinforcements."

"Please be careful," Yīnuò told her.

Annchi pulled her into a hug, "I promise, we will return to each other...now go."

Yīnuò hesitated to hug her back but did so only for a second before pulling away from her. The two nodded and Yīnuò left Annchi alone, yet again.

"Wei Wuxian?!" Annchi called out again.

Wei Wuxian appeared before here with black tendrils and gold flames emitting from his body, "come to talk some sense into me?" He asked.

"Wei Wuxian, there are people who are worried about you. Please reconsider what you are doing," Annchi begged.

"No!" Wei Wuxian told her and threw a resentful energy filled fire ball towards her. Annchi dodged it but barely. She got a little touch of the fire and the back of her left hand got a small burn. Annchi had to stall him until help came.

Tian Jun made his way to the celestial hall for him to hold a council meeting, along with his wife Gaia, goddess of earth. There were several gods there with different powers and holds a certain authority. There were several sons of Tian Jun's. Tian Jun has a good few heirs, as he has consorts to help provide sons and daughters. There was the crown prince Ye Hua, who was his grandson, his father was first prince Yang Cuo. There was then the second prince Sang Ji and the third prince Lian Song.

There was also a legendary god there that Tian Jun looked up to highly. He allowed this God to be the first king before him but he ruled for a certain time and gave the throne back to Tian Jun. This legendary god was now known as supreme god, Donghua Dijun. There was also Lord of Dipper of South, Si Ming. He is in charge of life and fate of the human realm, and also serves Dong Hua. He is a gossiper along with Lian Song.

Finally there was Ye Hua's twin brother Mo Yuan. He was known as the god of war. He rarely goes to council meetings, but hearing that this meeting was about the supreme god, and his nephew, Wei Wuxian, he decided to go. He felt it was very important otherwise.

"Greetings Tian Jun!" The group of gods bowed.

"Sit, we have some important things to discuss, I would like your thoughts on the matter," Tian Jun announced.

"What is so urgent to have a second meeting in one day?" Lian Song inquired.

"Wei Wuxian has been mistreated growing up and his abilities have just started to awaken. He refuses to learn to control them-"

"Fuqin!" Yīnuò has called out. She had returned shortly after speaking with him once already, "sorry to interrupt."

"It's alright, have you found him?" Tian Jun asked.

"Annchi sent a message to me, though the cultivators call it resentful energy, we call it devil's magic. He entered the burial mounds where the entire area is contaminated with it. I'm afraid he might be contaminated with it as well," Yīnuò explained, "Annchi had me come an ask for reinforcements."

"I can send some of my soldiers, but we need a solution first," Mo Yuan stated.

Tian Jun sighed, "though it will take a bit longer for him to return, there is a solution."

"Tian Jun, are you sure?" Gaia knew what he was considering, "I know it will work but where would we place him now? It's too dangerous for him to remain in the Celestial Realm, and we cannot send him back to Lotus Pier."

"What is he considering?" Lian Song questioned.

"Tian Jun is considering to have him induce him into another rebirth. A nirvana. It's the safest solution but it will take longer for Wei Wuxian to return," Gaia answered.

"It is something that should be done. If Wei Wuxian is, indeed contaminated with resentment, he is lost. Another nirvana is the only thing that can not only stop him, but cleanse him and have him restart," Donghua explained.

Tian Jun stood up, "Yīnuò, I want you to go to Cloud Recesses and speak with Cangse. I imagine the rest of the GusuLan leaders are with her. Once Wei Wuxian is rebirthed, we can see if we can't place Wei Wuxian there."

"Yes Fuqin," Yīnuò bowed and left for Cloud Recesses.

Tian Jun asked Mo Yuan to gather a few soldiers and the two would meet up with Annchi in the Burial Mounds.

Back at Cloud Recesses, the meeting with Cangse was just about coming to an end when Yīnuò had returned.

"Cangse," Yīnuò greeted, "GusuLan."

"Yīnuò, what can we do for you? Any news?" Cangse asked.

"There is. It's been voted on, Tian Jun wanted me to ask a favor of the GusuLan Sect," Yīnuò told her.

"What is the favor?" Lan Qiren asked.

"Tian Jun has found a solution to help Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian is now in the Burial Mounds and is contaminated with resentment. It has been voted to force Wei Wuxian into a nirvana again. It's not really ideal but it's the best option. Tian Jun wants to place him here in Cloud Recesses, and Tian Jun said he will make sure he has a few extra protection for you as well. He figured it would be good for Wei Wuxian to go through his rebirth here beside his soulmate," Yīnuò explained.

"So it will be another eighteen years before Wei Wuxian becomes a god again," Cangse stated and sighed, "is Tian Jun headed to the mounds now?"

"Yes," Yīnuò replied.

"Shufu, what do you think? Wei Wuxian would be a disciple here," Lan Xichen told him.

"Who would we place him with?" Lan Qiren asked, "Who would want to raise an infant?"

"Would it be weird if I offered to share Jingshi with him?" Lan Wangji asked, "I can keep him from causing trouble."

"Wangji, if he stays with you, I will also stay in Jingshi until he gets his golden core again. To help you with him," Lan Xichen told him. Lan Wangji did not deny his request but just gave him a simple nod for a response.

Lan Qiren stroked his beard, "so be it."
