Ah Chun: Ascending The Heavens 211 A Difficult New Journey

Ah Chun tumbled down the hole once again as mud, dirt, and rocks scraped up against her clothes and skin. Ah Chun was once again cursing the fact that she had no cultivation. This type of pain would be nothing if she did. As soon as she started falling she had straightened her body out enough to slide down the hole which protected her face from any injuries.  This, however, did not do much for her back which was currently going through much torture as she slid down the deep tunnel. After while Ah Chun was tossed out into mid-air but Ah Chun was waiting for this as she quickly got her rope ready as she scanned for something to toss the rope on to. She was waiting to see if what had happened in her memories would happen again. But as she fell she felt no spirit power wrap around her to slow her fall. 

Having an understanding that her mother, Mei Liling from her memories was most likely not here, Ah Chun winded up the rope swung it around her head, before tossing it out towards a protruding rock on the cavern wall face. She had no choice but to rely on the rope now to stop herself from smashing into the ground below. 

The rope looped around the protruding rock causing Ah Chun's body to jerk towards the wall at great speed. Ah Chun's body spun around the rope as she slammed into the wall on her side. A jolt of pain shot through Ah Chun's body as she felt her arm break from the impact. Ah Chun could not help but cry out in pain: "Ah! Stupid mortal body!" 

Her left arm became useless as it was now broken. Ah Chun struggled to get the rope wrapped around her in a way that allowed her to slowly slide down it with just one arm. If she was just a normal little girl Ah Chun would feel helpless and start crying and probably already fell to her death but Ah Chun was not just any little girl. She had experienced more pain this, at least that was what her memories told her. As such AH Chun only gritted her teeth and bared the pain as she slowly lowered herself to the ground.

The rope was not completely long enough to reach all the way to the ground. Ah Chun would still need to drop almost five meters to reach the ground. Ah Chun smiled though as she looked down at the glowing blue pool below here. Even if her Mother, Mei Liling from her memories was not here, she could still try to use the spiritual pool below as a means of opening her meridians.

No matter what she would use whatever she could to open her meridians even if the pain itself was worse than death. She would rather go through a living hell than stay weak for the rest of her life. With the lack of food and the drafty house, she would end up dead sooner than later anyway. So going through hell to gain power was well worth it. 

Ah Chun reached the end of the rope and looked at the ground and the wall next to her. The wall was smooth so it would make for a good brace to make it to the ground safely. Ah Chun swung her self closer to the wall and jumped towards it. Letting go of the rope and allowing her body to land flatly on to it. With her good arm she pressed the tip of her fingers against the wall and her two feet in a way that would allow her to slide down the wall. She did not want the momentum to push her away from the wall so she kept her body close to it in hopes that she could slide down cleanly. 

Luckily her plan worked as she was able to slide down the wall to the ground safely. She was successful in using the friction between her body and the wall as a means of slowing her descent to the ground. Once on the ground Ah Chun looked around and saw that the cavern looked like it did in her memories.  There was even a small tunnel off to the side near the spirit pool. 

Ah Chun did not hesitate as she quickly made her way down the tunnel holding her broken arm close to her body to keep it from moving around too much. She had to see if Mei Liling was here or not so even the pain in her arm had to wait until she knew for sure. If Mei Liling was here then things would be easier, if she was not, then things would be very hard. Either way, the spirit pool was here so she could use it to open her meridians even if it meant dealing with the pain without any aide.

The tunnel was dark and dim the only light lighting the tunnel was the light from the pool and a few blue glow stones that were naturally formed that lined the walls. When Ah Chun got to the end of the tunnel she looked around and felt somewhat depressed and saddened. There was indeed a room here. It was just like from her memories but the room was dark and not much light made its way in. The room looked like nobody had been here for tens of thousands of years. 

Looking at how things were Ah Chun knew she would have a difficult journey ahead. "This world is the same but not the same at the same time. Many things are different while other things are not. On the day I met the Wind Chasing Tiger the first time, according to my memories, that day a heavy rainstorm rolled through. This time though, not only did it not rain but the Wind Chasing Tiger did not show up until further along the path." Ah Chun said softly as she spoke her thoughts out loud. 

Ah Chun's eyes finally adjusted to the darkness which allowed Ah Chun to see around the room better. She saw a stone bed, table, and chair. On top of the table laid a scroll covered in dust. Ah Chun walked over to the table and picked up the scroll. She carefully unfurled it and read the first line of text. "Twin Star Jaded Dragon Cultivation Method..."
