And if your lucky enough to reach the first Zhang Realm you'll lifespan will increase 100 years." Chouchou's pupils turned into hearts "REAAALLYYYYY??!!! OH PLEASE TEACH ME OLD ONE!!!" "haha The Great Shadows return this year, but the Great war wont start until the fully Matured Koryu appears. That can be tomorrow, or it can be 20 years from now. You'll have plenty of time to Cultivate. "But there's a certain boy who's heart I need to hold onto forever." "Ohoho I see. Here I'll make a deal with you. You tell me about this charming young man, and I'll teach you a few cultivation secrets and Techniques I know." "DEAL!!!" "Follow me." They walked out of the bathing hall. "Enjoying the school so far?" Mizusa asked Chouchou as her and Kikyo were passing by. "Yessss Kikyo here is gonna help with my cultivation." "Ahh is she now. Shes a very good teacher, she taught me for a while." "Did you have a crush on a boy too?" "What?" "Oh it's nothing come along now Chouchou." They exited the school ground and walked onwards for a bit. the Seiryu Arts head school was in Kyoto japan. "So where are we headed?" Chouchou asked her. "To Murin-an." "Whats that?" "A great Cultivation spot." They came to their destination. A great garden that stretched a decent length. "This is Murin-an. One of the three Sacred Cultivation spots only open to those of the Holy arts schools and those who've at least reached the Pinnacle of the 5th Luhan Layer. You are already at the pinnacle and very close to reaching the 6th Layer. Come. Meditate here for 30 days, and your cultivation will increase significantly and you just might breakthrough to the 6th Luhan Layer." "Yes I see." They walked to a spot and Sat down cross-legged and meditated. "Become one with nature, feel the wind, feel the trees, the grass, the very earth itself. Let it flow through you." Chouchou closed her eyes and breathed. As she did, The Emerald Dragon appeared abbove her again. Energy started flowing from the earth to the dragon, visible to Kikyo's eyes. She gasped. "The Gyokuryu. I must not disturb her Cultivation. I'll leave her here for now.
