Ah Chun: Ascending The Heavens 309 Ancient City Part Three

Ah Chun's head suddenly started throbbing with pain. She was struggling to keep her consciousness. The voice that said "wake up" had penetrated deep into her soul sea. After staggering a little bit, Ah Chun was finally able to stabilize herself. The voice that spoke was vaguely familiar but Ah Chun could not remember who it was. After retracting her hand from the orb Ah Chun dropped to the floor and sat quietly trying to collect herself. Mei Yan who was off to the side looked at Ah Chun with a worried look. She had no idea what just happened. All of a sudden her junior sister seemed to have blacked out and almost fell to the ground. 

"Junior Sister...?" Mei Yan finally spoke up.

Wiping the sweat from her brow, Ah Chun smiled wryly and said: "I am fine. For the most part. But for some reason, this place has something to do with me. I just do not know what it is. I know one thing though I will not touch this orb again anytime soon." 

Ah Chun decided to make note of this place for now. There was some kind of weird connection between here and the little girl who appeared in the moving pictures. She had no idea why this was but it was definitely a connection. The more she thought about it the less she understood. So Ah Chun decided to put this place in the back of her mind for now. 

After standing back up and dusting herself off, Ah Chun turned to Mei Yan and smiled to show that she was fine. "Let's go search the rest of this place. I doubt we will find anything but it's still good to search." 

Mei Yan nodded her head and followed after Ah Chun. They two spent another day's time going from building to building. But even after searching the last building, they found nothing of interest. Both girls were feeling a bit dejected after wasting so much time to only come up empty handed. But now they had finally made their way back to the entrance. 

"Senior Sister Yan we will search for Elder Ming after we leave here. I do not think this island has anything else on it that is worth mentioning." Ah Chun said.

The two quickly made it back to the spot where the floating door was. Ah Chun opened it and stepped through with Mei Yan. Once they did, Ah Chun turned around to find both the door and the wall with the array on it was now gone. It was now a long dark tunnel that led into a dark cavern. "Well… Let's check this out first." Ah Chun said as she scratched her head. She did not expect to find a dark cavern in place of the wall that was here earlier.

Everything about that space they were just in was weird. Truthfully Ah Chun was glad to be out of there. The whole place had made her feel uneasy. "Junior Sister, do we have to?" Mei Yan asked nervously as she looked into the deep black abyss. All her courage from the other realm disappeared instantly now that they were outside again. Mei Yan was now holding tightly to Ah Chun's sleeve. 

"Of course we have to. We are already here. If we passed up some kind of golden opportunity it would be our loss!" Ah Chun firmly declared as she grabbed Mei Yan's hand and dragged the poor girl into the darkness. 

Ah Chun formed a ball of light with her spirit power and slowly progressed into the cavern. Sounds of dripping water could be heard all around. The cavern ran deep into the mountain. Ah Chun spread out her divine sense trying to see if she could spot anything good. As it spread out more and more Ah Chun lips curled up into a smile. "Senior Sister Yan it seems we are in luck!"

"Huh!?" Mei Yan looked at Ah Chun confused.

"Up ahead is a hole that drops down deep into the mountain but a little way down there is a place that has an array setup. I probed the array a bit and it's a barrier type array to keep things out. It seems to be on its last leg as the barrier itself almost broke just from my divine sense. I couldn't see what was behind it but I am sure there is something good there to be hidden that deep within the mountain." Ah Chun explained.

Not waiting for Mei Yan to reply, Ah Chun picked Mei Yan up and flew into the darkness. In a matter of minutes, Ah Chun arrived in front of a glowing blue array barrier. She reached out and flicked it with a bit of spirit power and the whole barrier shattered. Behind it was a small tunnel that was faintly lit by glowing rocks that were embedded into the walls. Ah Chun put Mei Yan down and took the lead as she slowly walked into the tunnel. She sent out her divine sense to make sure there were no traps of any kind. "Seems to be a big room up ahead with many things inside!"

After a few minutes of walking, the two were now standing in the middle of a large dimly lit room. Within that room, many treasures were laid about. On the far side of the room was a large throne with a skeleton sitting on top of it. The skeleton itself had rune markings all over its bones. Ah Chun could not resist walking up to the skeleton almost as if she was being called to it. Ah Chun stood in front of the skeleton and looked at the skull that had a large green jewel embedded into what used to be its forehead. Cursing her short stature Ah Chun floated into the air and reached out and touched the jewel. "A bright light flashed from the jewel just as she touched it and engulfed Ah Chun!"
