This is a continuation of Eternal Destiny book1, this story will pick up from the last chapter on Book 1 and nothing will change. I will start from the end of the last chapter in book1 and I will still update twice a day or maybe 3 times and nothing...
Every evening when Lan Zhan was home, he would play his Zither, he played it for the sprits. This was because the last time he asked about Wei Ying the green spirit finally gave him an answer, but then since then it had not appeared again. It had been eleven months now and he wished to see it again, the green spirit gave him a motherly care and warmth and the space that had been left open by his mother's passing had been filled by it. He wished he would hear from it before the other clan's desciples came for their studies in a month's time.
Lan Zhan had already finished his studies along with his brother Lan Xichen and other Lan clan desciples, the classes that will be held in a month from then was for those who repeated their classes like Su She, and those who were younger to finish by the time Lan Zhan and other desciples finished. That meant that Lan Zhan and Lan Xichen together with those desciples who have already graduated will be helping out with the teachings and guiding the student visitors.
Lan Zhan sat under the peony tree and kept playing and when he saw that nothing was happening, he held his hand and swiped it across and his zither vanished. He had simply put it away safe, that power was what Lan Xichen needed to see someday from his Dìdì, but Lan Zhan was being too secretive about it. He sat in a meditative posture and closed his eyes, he breathed evenly and did as the book he had read instructed. In a few seconds, he found himself in the spirit realm, his spirit was there and his body was at Cloud Rescessess under the peony tree.

He had finally learned to take his spirit wherever he wished it to be and the spirit world was the first place he travelled in spirit. He stood still infornt of the cave he went to last time he was thrown in the cold pond, he closed his eyes and he was looking to communicate with someone in the spirit world,even a spirit was enough to ask about the green spirit. No spirit came and he knew it was wrong to use his zither in the spirit world, so...he connected his mind and core power everywhere in the spirit world. From the plains to the caves and the mountains, looking for spirits.

He didn't want to ask the Gods directly since he thought it would be disrespectful for him to do so, if he wanted to ask the Gods then he would have sat there in Cloud Rescessess and ask them through his core power and not travel all the way to the spirit realm. The Gods were not in the spirit world and even though they had control over each and every realm, they did not set foot there much like in the mortal realm. As he stood there waiting to feel any presence of a spirt, still with his eye closed, he felt a strong amount of power coming from the North from where he was.
He opened his eyes quickly and gasped, it was not normal for the spiritual realm to have that much power, the spirit did have powers, but those powers were granted to them by the Gods themselves and they were taken away from them again once the task it was assigned to was done. This was because the Gods wanted to avoid chaos from ensuing over other spirits who didn't have powers. If powers were given to every spirit then the spirit realm would not be different from the mortal realm where everyone was fighting for power to take over.
Then he waited and looked to that direction he felt a strong surge of power, he closed his eyes again and tried to feel what kind if power it was. He had the ability to feel everything anywhere and his abilities in the spirit realm were not different from the mortal realm if not more powerful. That's really how favoured he was and he was given authority by the Gods to do anything he felt was necessary in every realm except their heavenly realm, that's where the Gods resided. No mortal was to cross over unless the Gods wanted it.
The power got more and more stronger and he sat down feeling the vibrations that were coming from the North. As he spread out his hands and hovered them a few inches from the ground and he felt it. There was an abnormal power coming from that direction and he felt that it was coming from inside a cave. He placed his hands right onto the ground and he felt an evil spirit, but he thought that cannot be since the evil spirits had no business in the spirit world. They were trapped underground like their master who was trapped there making all the spirits follow him. Those evil spirits knew that the moment they followed their master to the underground that they will not be allowed to be back.
That's how the underground world was formed, and that's how they lived since then. Even if their master had escaped once,they didn't follow because of the orders they were given, their master was also powerless in the mortal realm and needed to accumulate as much spirits as he could so it could go back to their found underground world. Lan Zhan stood up abruptly and flew to the North direction, he found the cave where the power was coming from and he saw that there was a lot of commotion inside and there were screamings coming from either someone who was injured or someone being tortured. And because it was the spirit realm then it meant those being tortured or injured were the spirits.
He flew inside because he didn't need to sneak inside to see where the danger was so he could weigh it, he was the most powerful one in both realms and he wasn't scared of anything. He stood right at the centre of the cave and looked around, he saw two evil spirits that were trying to eat up the souls of the spirits which were trapped there. There was almost thirty spirits inside which were trapped, bound and tormented. He needed to finish that before the events caused an imbalance in the realms to the underground world. The evil spirits were the first to see him and even though they felt Lan Zhan's powers,they still launched forward to attack him. Lan Zhan was indeed quick,but he did not react even though he saw that they were getting closer to him.
He looked around as he wanted to see if the trapped spirits were ok, after he assessed their spiritual energy, he felt that some had their spiritual energy already absorbed. He wasn't too happy about that. He was so mad that his eyes and aura emmited 'Death' . By the time the evil spirits reached him he only raised his arm and the other he made a gesture as if to clap his hands together then raised them up before placing them towards the ground with his palms spread out. The black smoke dissapeared and he felt that the energies of the spirits were back, but there was something wrong with one spirit.
