By The Will of the Gods

On Closer Inspection

The Upper Heavens

Gathered once more a briefing, the Upper Heavens Weavers gave a detailed report on their finding along with two new marriage alliances that defied all reason and one of which had them all talking quietly among themselves well after they had left the hall. Interestingly enough, the hall they were in was throbbing with higher energy so all thoughts and even whispered conversations were held within the energy which could be visited again if the need arose, which Tian Ming knew he would be doing once he had a chance to eavesdrop, because sometimes in was in the hidden whispers that vital information could be found.

Now giving a report of his own findings, he informed The Three that Si Ming, who was still in Qing Qiu, had not found anything note worthy and nor had he, though he did mention the box of correspondence from Kunlun Mountain.

"From what I understand, Mo Yuan has taken a few orphans into his school to be trained, one of which is a wild Fox that Their Medicine King Zhe Yan found. It is my belief that The Fox King Bai Zhi is possibly funding the childs education after all the Foxes are a very tight knit bunch. And from what I have also seen, he is a kind ruler, who is also a close friend of Mo Yuans, so it is highly likely that he not only sent the child to Kunlun Mountain but he is also receiving quarterly reports on his progress." Tian Ming summed up his findings.

"Yes that would seem likely. The Foxes, whether Nine Tailed or not are a very close knit community, and from what you have already told me, Emperor Bai is a benevolent man but very thorough in his dealings so of course quarterly reports would be appropriate if he is funding the childs education, however we cannot take anything for granted. Not when two new marriages have been arranged and both of them to Kunlun Mountain Disciples." they said which instantly had all heads raising in suspicion.

"Two new ones on top of the one to Mo Yuan?" he asked stunned.

"Yes. The First Senior has been aligned with a Celestial Goddess who is already fated to one of the Princes of the Celestial Heavens and the Seventh Disciple has been aligned with a Troll." they informed them all.

"Troll?" Tian Mings eyes widened in surprise. "But Immortals cannot marry minor Earth Deities, such a union would bring untold harm to both worlds." he almost choked as the rest nodded their heads sharply in agreement.

"That is true. Though they are a minor Deity, they govern over much lesser creatures that are even less evolved than Mortals. They are even lower in evolutionary rank than the gnomes and nymphs. And the veil that splits the Immortal World from their world ensures that no such union can take place, if they were to meet, the veil would collapse, it is a very fine balance of energy that keeps them apart." One weaver stated which they were already aware of, but too stunned to add anything of their own.

"I see. Well that does make a difference." Tian Ming whispered as the little Fox began to linger in his mind.

Watching him carefully, The Three spoke quietly among themselves as the weavers lost themselves to their thoughts. If an Immortal had really been aligned with a Troll, a being so unlike the Immortals in both energy and spiritual evolution, then a major catastrophe was looming and the urgency to find Jing Si just became critical.

"There are Seventeen Disciples of Kunlun Mountain, is this correct?" The Three asked for confirmation. They may have been the highest of all the deities of both high and low realms, but they did not necessarily know absoultely everything there was to know about all worlds unless there was a reason to.

"That is correct." Tian Ming replied.

"In that case, eighteen of you are to converge on Kunlun Mountain and attach yourself to each soul there including Mo Yuan. You are to follow their every movement, listen in on every conversation and thoroughly investigate each one. The rest are to leave for the Earth Deities Realm where you are to investigate the Trolls especially, but also the other minor souls including the Nymphs, Sprites and even the elves." the commanded which soon had them all splitting themselves up and leaving immediately.
