34 - Transcendence

After taking a couple days to get accommodated, Baoshan took us to a room that was filled with a balance of Yin and Yang energy.

"So, in order to help you more, I need to have you reach immortality," Baoshan said, "So Wei Wuxian is the balance of Yin and Yang, He is to meditate here. Once you enter your deep meditation, it will seem like a few minutes to you potentially but it will make you go under for five days total. As for Wangji, you are solely pure Yang energy, therefore I am taking you just next door to the room filled with only Yang energy where you will meditate for five days as well. As you two are bonded, you two will automatically feel that connection but you will be safe. Do you two have any questions?"

"What does me being immortal help with anything?" I asked.

"First I cannot let you lag behind your partner, second, as you are bonded you need to remain that same wavelength of energy, and third, as a master of pure Yang energy, you are to help him when he needs to be balanced, as sometimes he may need spiritual energy to ease the resentment. An imbalance in his energy levels can cause issues, it is better to lean more on spiritual then resentment, as negative energy can spread fast," Baoshan explained.

I nodded, "Okay."

I gave Wei Ying a hug and a kiss and went over to the room I was to be in. She then sealed me in once I entered meditation. I did not realize that being in such a deep meditative state, I would not get hungry. It was like my body was gaining nutrients from the energy around me. I could feel the aura around me, my aura, it was light blue to almost white. It was pure and it was tranquil.

Just like Baoshan said, I could still feel my bond with Wei Ying. It was like I knew he was nearby and I could feel the natural flow of his two energies. One energy that remained warm and constant, while the other was cold and sharp. He seemed to be okay.

As we meditated, it was like we could feel each other transcend into some sort of outer body experience. I saw myself sitting there in lotus position and floating five feet in the air. I turned and saw a barrier and on the other side I saw Wei Ying's body floating like mine, and his spirit standing beside it. He and I walked to the border of the barrier and looked at each other. I placed my hand on the barrier and he placed his hand where mine was on the barrier on his side. We then extended our energies to meet. It was almost as if it was natural and we were supposed to do this.

Just then, the two of us were in our own little bubble, and we pulled each other into a hug, our lips meeting in the process. I did not know what was happening, it was as if our bond was getting stronger. Holding him in my arms and kissing him felt so good, but it was strange, I clearly remember myself meditating in a separate room but our spirits manage to meet while we meditate to gain immortality.

I could feel his energy pass through me as mine passed through him. I could feel my golden core getting warm and beginning to spin faster. I felt it turning and turning and turning until it flowed through my spiritual veins and my golden core became the heart of the spiritual vein. It would be the most fragile part of my immortality but it was so deeply hidden and strong that nothing and nobody could ever get to it. The same thing goes for Wei Ying, as he ascended too.

We then took a couple stepped back and turned to our floating bodies. Our spirits returned and it was as if we were together during meditation but not together. It meant our bond only became stronger, and it was only a matter of time before we become full soul-bonds. It was now as if our Shen our spirits were more conscious of each other and more noticeable by others, potentially only by family.

I soon opened my eyes and saw Baoshan standing in front of me, "congratulations, you have become immortal, A'Ying has as well, he woke just before you did. He is waiting for you in the main room," she said.

I nodded, "our Shen?" I asked.

"It merged and the bond between you two grew. You two can sense each other better, understand each other's emotions and even communicate telepathically. It is something that you two will have to work through together and talk about, as you promised, your bond is to be open and honest to one another," she said, "now come, you must be hungry after meditating for so long."

"Mnn," I nodded.

I followed her out and sat down beside Wei Ying who was smiling at me, "hello," he said, "how are you feeling?"

"I feel good, and how are you?" I asked.

"I am good," he said, "we will talk more about our bond this evening, how does that sound?"

"Good to me," I said.

A couple of Baoshan's servants brought us our breakfast. As I sat here next to Wei Ying, I could feel him as if he was holding me but he was beside me. I smiled as I knew that we were closer, but I also grew a bit worried as now if anyone knew how much closer we got, it could be dangerous for us both. The war with Wen Ruohan was still happening, and I have a feeling that Wei Ying and I are the key to winning this war.

"A'Ying, I have something for you," Baoshan said.

"What?" He asked.

Baoshan placed a wooden box in front of him, "this used to be your father's but he left it for you for when you were ready," she said.

Wei Ying slowly opened the box to reveal a beautiful black bamboo flute (Dizi). It was balanced with yin and Yang energy.

"Wow," Wei Ying said as he gently picked up the flute to look at it better, "it has a spirit, does it have a name?"

"Your father called it Chenqing," Baoshan said, "but he referred the flute as a she not an it."

"She...Chenqing," Wei Ying said, "I would need to learn it."

"I will teach you," Baoshan told him then turned to me, "and your grandmother wanted you to have this," she waved her hand and there laid Lan Yi's glistening white guqin.

"Why?" I asked.

"This guqin's spirit is solely pure spiritual energy, and it will recognize you as the new owner. She said you can name it," Baoshan said.

"Wangji," I said, "same as my name but it has meaning to it as well."

Baoshan smiled, "of course."

I placed my finger on one of the strings and I felt it connect with me. The guqin was now mine. I could sense it's power and I could tell that we will like being in each other's company.
