It would be hours before Ming Yue reawakened from her state. She was simply mesmerized by the stance, her mind paced around as she found ways to improve her techniques and sword skills. More importantly, she had begun to understand the principles behind the way she fought. After all, she knew how to utilize the different energies but she did not know everything about it.
Just as Ming Yue knew how to empower her blade, she did not know why until now.
"The sword is the vessel, I am what fills it. These different powers lay dormant in different parts of my body, my head, my heart, my meridians. There is a system, each piece is a segment of it, all working together..."
She muttered to herself, suddenly returning to the lesson Elder Xia had given her. Reminded of the demonstration he gave, Ming Yue realized that she was getting closer to understanding "Returning to Simplicity".
Looking at the statue, she found it both mysterious and profound.
