-Pov Zi Ji-
From the island, I could sense the accumulation of Immortal Qi, but he could not sense what was the cause that caused the accumulation of Qi.
Another thing that intrigued me was that I did not understand how Immortal Qi appeared in this place. So he could only fly over the island, while I waited to see what happened.
I didn't have to wait long when the clouds started to darken. And great winds and eddies began to rise up all over the place, as the Immortal Qi grew stronger and stronger.
Along with the Immortal Qi I was also able to feel another type of energy, but I could not identify it, I was sure that if my husband were here he would have been able to know what that strange energy was.
The clouds in the sky began to oscillate between black and gold, while some rays generated by the clouds could be seen.
As the place became more and more chaotic, I had no choice but to land on the island.
With the passage of time, it could be seen how drops of water began to levitate in the air, covering an area of several thousand meters.
It was just at that moment that the clouds stopped blinking and turned a beautiful golden color.
However, my face showed a certain fear, towards the beautiful sight that was in front of me.
The lightning gathered in the clouds and began to glow brightly until they covered the entire place with blinding light.
I only came out of my stupor when my ears caught the enormous noise produced by the impact of lightning against something.

-Pov Bi Ji-
"These are Sengee and Shanti, the two leaders of two different tribes under my husband's command."
"Sengge and Shanti, this is Xiao yun, a spirit beast that I rescued in the zone middle of the forest," I said while introducing the three people in the courtyard.
Xiao yun, it was the rabbit-type spirit beast that I saved from being killed by the monkey-like spirit beast in the central forest region.
Xiao yun was a mutated rabbit beast, known as a lightning rabbit with an age of 92,000 years.
She was sitting watching the interaction between Sengge, Shanti, and Xiao yun in their bestial forms.
"Xiao yun, can you tell us why you were heading to the central region?" I interrupted the three men's conversation. In fact, when I saved him, he had a strong conviction to enter the central area of the forest, so I helped him to enter the central area because all the beasts recognized who I was, they did not attack us on the way.
I helped him too because I couldn't feel any malice emanating from him, so all the more reason to help him. Of course, I also had the idea of trying to get him to join my husband's faction, after all, Xiao yun was about to turn into a 100,000-year-old beast, so he would be the third member at 100,000 years.
I also had to talk about it with my older sister, it is a shame that when I returned to her house she was not there, according to the boys they said they saw her come out of the forest, so I can only hope that she comes back from her.
...
Hearing my voice, Sengge and Shanti fell silent as they looked at Xiao yun waiting for his reply. During the 100 years that they were under Caim's command, they knew that Zi Ji and Bi Ji were the wives of his boss, so they always showed their respect for the two women. So neither of them felt offended at being ignored by Bi Ji, as she concentrated on Xiao yun.
...
Xiao yun hearing my words fell silent for a few seconds, before saying his reason for wanting to enter the central area. Apparently, he has a wife and daughter who live on the outskirts of the forest (outer zone). However, the outskirts of the forest do not have many resources, so he wanted to bring his family to the center of the city to give them a better life, and also have a better chance of becoming strong spirit beasts.
Both his wife and his daughter were rabbit-species beasts, his wife was a moon rabbit, and his daughter was a soft-boned rabbit. His wife is 50,000 years old, while his daughter is just a 1,000-year-old newborn beast.

-Pov Caim-
I had been submerged in the lake for a full day, what I was trying to do is absorb all the spatial energy from the lake and store it within my second core (the core created by the art of body forging).
The process was extremely difficult, after a full day, I could barely extract the energy from the lake, and direct it towards me.
However, he was already prepared for something similar to happen.
From my storage ring, I took out several crystals that I collected from the cave before leaving it.
The crystals I took out were blue and purple in color, while they had various runes. I made these crystals so that I could store energy within them. Although I knew that the elemental energy of the lake would not be greatly affected by the crystals, it would still help me to be able to drag the energy more violently and be able to absorb it into my body.
I started making symbols with my hands and the crystals started to glow. when they began to glow, the elemental energy from the lake was abruptly drawn towards them, however, the resistance of the energy could still be seen.
Because the energy was now stagnant by the crystals, I was able to start sucking in the energy and absorbing it into my core.
At first, the energy I was absorbing was very small, however, after a while, the energy started rushing towards me, overloading me with energy. This made my body start to shake madly.
I could feel the crunch of my bones and my skin was beginning to crack. However, it didn't bother me, and I began to shut off all my senses, and just focus on being able to absorb the energy in my core, while at the same time tempering my body with it.
Due to turning off all my senses, I couldn't see how the lake started to shake as the whole place started to distort into various parts.
...
Any nucleus created within the inner space of the people was of utmost importance since if it was destroyed or damaged, it could disable the person that belongs to it, closing the doors to their cultivation path.
And I was doing something equally dangerous, trying to absorb the elemental energy in my second core. However, the reason I dared to do something so crazy was that I had two cores within my inner space.
...
When I felt that my second nucleo was about to fill with the elemental energy of the lake, I began to circulate this energy through every part of my body, especially I focused on my meridians.
The pain I was feeling was so great, that if it weren't for my willpower, I would have been knocked unconscious a long time ago.
With the elemental energy of the lake, nurturing my meridians, they began to crack and recover at a crazy rate.
The energy from the lake was so pure, and my body no longer had a place to store or retain it, that I couldn't help but let some of the energy flow into my spiritual core.

-Pov Zi Ji-
Returning to the forest, I had to tell Bi Ji what I witnessed.
By gathering various pieces of information I had from my husband, I came to the conclusion that there were two possible causes for the accumulation of Immortal Qi. And I didn't like both options, because it all refers to one word, "God."
Just as I entered the mainland, I could see how the clouds in the distance over the forest began to gather.
However, I didn't have time to turn the matter around and hurried towards the center of the forest.
...
Upon reaching the center of the forest, I could see how Bi Ji, was next to Sengge and Shanti, and a spirit beast that he did not know. However, none of them noticed my arrival by focusing their gaze on the sky.
I approached them and it was then that the four of them noticed me. Bi Ji greeted me with a hug as he told me who the unknown beast was.
However, our chat was interrupted, when the clouds in the sky began to rustle, attracting everyone's attention.
For some reason, Bi Ji and I exchanged glances, and it was as if we had come to know what was going on. That's why we headed towards the lake, or what we were able to get closer to the lake because the place was blocked by various matrices that Caim made.
The lightning bolts in the sky grew stronger. After an hour, a huge pillar made of lightning descended from the sky and landed inside the lake.
The pillar lasted only a few seconds before disappearing, and a new pillar re-emerged that was twice as strong as the previous one. And so on until pillar number 7 descended, impacting the lake and shaking the entire forest.
Leaving me and Bi Ji shocked by the strength displayed.
------------
It's been a whole week since the Pillar of Lightning event on the lake.
At first, Bi Ji and I thought that without more lightning, our husband would come out of the lake. But it was just our own imagination.
After a whole week, Caim still hadn't left the lake. The only thing that makes me calm is that the soul contract that I have with Caim is still active. so it can be said that he is still alive.
