Phantasia: The Princess Knight

"You want to create a monument?" Tang Guanting was surprised that Alicia would go so far for people she did not even know.

"Yes, and I will also send them off." Alicia raised her hands causing the ground underneath them to rise high into the sky. She shaped and forged the monument into a large monolith. She then carved into it in large characters. 'In memory of those who died in the battle between the Mortal Plane and the Machine Empire. May they rest in peace and find happiness in their next life.'

After she finished carving these words Alicia knelt down in the sky clasped her hands together and lowered her head. As she began to pray a song appeared in her mind. All of a sudden Alicia had no idea what was going on, a bright golden light formed around her body. Her green robes suddenly became a long white gown and the black and white wings on her shoulder blades appeared and extended throughout the sky. The golden light slowly expanded out and before she knew it her whole body was out of her control. Her mouth opened and a beautiful melody flowed from it.

"Ashes of time, Ashes of time..."

"The flow of time is always short..."

"The souls of the dead will always return from once they came..."contemporary romance

"Sending them off to be reborn..."

"Death is never the end but a new beginning..." 

"Ashes of time, Ashes of time..."

"The flow of time is always short..."

"Guide and guard the dead until they have passed on to the next plane..." 

As she sang, thousands of balls of golden lights began to lift into the air. Alicia had no idea what was going on. But she felt warm. It was as if an angel had wrapped their arms around her and helped her release the souls of the dead to allow them to pass on to the next life. 

Grandpa Mu and Tang Guanting watched the whole scene in shock. They never expected such a thing to happen in their entire lives. But they could not help but feel that the balls of light were the fragments of the souls that did not get destroyed by Alicia's attack. 

It was not until Alicia stopped singing that Grandpa Mu suddenly felt like he was struck by lightning as he remembered something. "Ancient Grand Holy magic! It was said to be lost after the last Priestess of the Origin disappeared." 

"Priestess of the Origin?" Tang Guanting asked as he watched the last of the balls of light disappear into the sky. 

"A million years ago, there was a religion that worshiped the Origin. The priestesses of this religion had a grand magic that was said to be able to help even the tiniest of fragments of a person's soul rest in peace and would send them into the river of reincarnation instead of being lost forever. It was said that this magic took up a lot of magic power to use. I did not recognize the magic until I started seeing the balls of golden light disappear into the sky and it hit me that long ago I remembered seeing something like this before. But her magic just now seemed more ancient than that of the last priestess. " Grandpa Mu stopped speaking and turned to Alicia. "Alicia do you know where..." 

Grandpa Mu stopped his words when he saw the strong force of spiritual qi surrounding Alicia. He could tell that she was about to breakthrough! Even Tang Guanting had turned his attention to Alicia and watched in awe as the young girl was about to break through to the immortal realm. The difference between the cultivation realms below the immortal realm was about one hundred times that in strength. This means that Alicia's max power was now one hundred times stronger if she succeeded in breaking through. 

The two old men felt bad for anyone that caused Alicia to be mad, from now on. She was still young and sometimes acted on emotions. The Machine Empire was a perfect example of this when Nomi was put at death's door. 

Spiritual qi swirled around Alicia causing a cocoon to form around her. A sudden burst of spiritual qi shot up into the air. This spiritual qi was both black and white. A resounding boom was heard afterward as dark clouds formed overhead. "It's starting… To think she would breakthrough so soon without being able to prepare… " 

Seeing the dark clouds overhead, Tang Guanting felt a little worried since many who tried to break through to the immortal realm died during their tribulations or failed and became cripples. Alicia had no time to prepare for this, he hoped that she would be able to surpass this and pull through without harm.

"Guanting, don't worry. Alicia has already created a multi layer barrier around her. With how strong and thick it is the lightning won't even cause her hair to stand up on end." Grandpa Mu saw the worried look on Tang Guanting's face and knew what he was thinking. But he was quite amazed at the barrier Alicia had set up around it. It seemed to be like a honeycomb with many many layers to it. It did indeed look very strong. The center of each honeycomb swirled with some kind of blue energy. 

After finishing singing the song Alicia felt the control on her body was back causing her to let out a sigh of relief. But she also felt that the spiritual qi in her body was circulating at a fast pace. She knew what was about to happen so she had no time to worry about why she lost control of her body just now. She quickly got into a lotus position and set up a barrier so that she could welcome the spiritual qi that was trying to surge into her body.
