The Hidden Myth of Ji Dara

"See you later, my queen…"

Dara added before walking away as Aunt Lin stood there looking at his figure shrink into the distance with a beet red face and love smitten expression;

"Hmm Hmm!" A lady cleared her throat beside Aunt Lin, snapping her back to reality as her blush intensified;

"So, where should we begin today, tribe lady?" She asked as Aunt Lin followed her into the farm…

Dara on the other hand, headed straight for the Qi Stone Room…

He seemed to be in extremely high spirits and felt in peak mental state, as he sat cross legged and grabbed a full Qi Stone before shutting his eyes…

By the time he appeared within his mindscape, Long and Sam were also just arriving;

"Eh?"

"How did you know I was going to arrive now?"

"If we were experts who have reincarnated, we would be able to come here even if you don't want us to as long as we have stronger mental power than you do; so be careful in the future not to offend someone of this nature…"

"But to answer your question, we have wanted to be here earlier, but since you weren't here, we were being blocked by your Dao Tree, thus, until you have the intention of seeing us, we would never appear…" Long explained;

"Oh…" Dara understood what he was trying to say, and it was true, the moment he shut his eyes earlier, the first thing that came to his mind was to see these two, and perhaps that was why they appeared the moment he arrived;

"Alright, let's get to it…" Dara excitedly urged;

"It seems she really treated you nice this morning, unh?"

Sam smugly teased whilst Long looked at the both of them trying to comprehend what went on that he didn't know about, as Dara on the other hand was made to remember the mind blowing sex Aunt Lin gave him this morning;

"W-w- I don't know what you're talking about…" He said with a flustered expression which caused Sam to burst out in laughter;

"It's alright kid; I and Long are both adults and we have long done similar things in the past too…" Sam eased Dara's tension;

"Thanks for the series of joke though, it really made her happy…"

"Oh, nevermind… I'm happy to help…"

"Alright cut it out… I don't know what the two of you are talking about, but we really need to begin…"

Long interrupted as he pointed to the root linking to Dara's cultivation which was already streaming with the QI from the Qi Stone in his grasp in the outside world…

"Alright kid, you have experienced how it feels and look like, so waste no time whatsoever…"

Sam tried to boost Dara's morale and it seemed to work because Dara's smashed his fist into his palm and growled;

"Let's go get it!"

Long smiled and with a simple jump, they splashed into the stream of Qi which carried them into the trunk of the Dao Tree as they found themselves in a familiar dimension;

"Go!"

Whoosh!

The trio burst through the crowd of Empty Links and in a matter of minutes;

"I got it!"

"Good spot kid!"

"Great start!"

Sam and Long encourage with n impressed smile as the Bronze Link pulled them through the crowd of Links…

Recalling what happened during Sam's trials, before they even entered the Spirit Realm, Dara already shut his eyes and prepared his free hand to grab the first Silver Link he finds in the Spirit Scape…

Whoosh!

They burst into the Spirit Scape and Dara instantly found a Silver Link just by the entrance as he grabbed it instantly;

"Got it!" He yelled;

"Unh?"

"So fast!"

Long and Sam could barely believe the situation as the Trials were progressing even faster than their minds could comprehend;

Whoosh!

The Silver Link pulled them upwards at an even faster rate as they approached the Divine Scape…

Pata!

Dara entered first and it felt like he had just splashed past a thin membrane of water as he asked;

"Alright, we are to look for the Gold Link right?" Dara asked but the only response he got was total silence;

"Right?"

He asked again as he felt that perhaps the duo didn't hear him clearly, but there was only total silence as well;

"It is fine if you want me to succeed on my own but you should at least an- eh?"

Dara was midway through his sentence when he realized that Long and Sam were nowhere to be found;

"Long?" "Sam?" "Guys!?"

But he saw no one nor received any sort of response;

"Tch… I guess something is preventing them from coming up with me!" He muttered to himself…

Meanwhile…

"What's going on, Long?" Sam asked with a bellow as they fell towards the Mortal Scape;

"I don't know… Like I told you guys, I have only known one person who has entered that Realm, and he didn't take anyone along, so I don't know what is happening!" Long yelled back;

"But if you picked a Silver Link, doesn't that mean you failed in the Divine Scape?"

"No… Firstly, I didn't even get to enter the Divine Scape at all because my time ran out before I could even get to the barrier separating them…"

"Secondly, I went in alone as well, so I don't know why this is happening…"

"But can you give any guess?" Sam was unwilling to back out;

They had just promised Dara that they would help him through the journey, only to get repelled by the barrier separating the Divine Scape from the Spirit Scape, and they didn't know how Dara is faring on his own at the moment, if he is now demoralized or having a complete meltdown;

"I can only think of a single possible scenario…"  Long answered as they finally fell into the Mortal Scape;

"It is most likely because we possess only a Silver Link and thus were refused entry into the Divine Scape by some universal law of some sort…"

Long explained as Sam nodded at the feasibility of his reasoning;

"Or could it be because we have yet to completely reincarnate?" Sam guessed;

"I don't think so… If that was the reason, then you would have been unable to even take the Trials in the first place…"

Long debunked the idea as they fell out of the Mortal Scape and appeared in front of Dara's Golden Dao Tree…

"The best we can do now is wait here for his return and pray that he gets at least a Gold Link…" Long sighed as Sam palmed his forehead in frustration;

"Good luck kid, may you find the best possible Link…"

Meanwhile…

Back within the Divine Scape;

"Alright… Dara you can do this…"

"Every man for himself… So, we are looking for a Gold Link…" Dara muttered to himself as he looked around…
