"A painful choice, but one I well understand. Your wisdom truly shines when you are forced to make such difficult decisions" Kanzeon sighs, her "breath" carrying throughout her ventilation systems and rumbling the empty halls of which it sprawls throughout , like a countless veins and capillaries

As for the caches of seeds and preserved plant life Kanzeon has shown and offered to you, while they would bring a greater variety to the diet of the common folk and peasantry, they were still foregin to Shangrala's soil and intended to spread and propagate with ease beneath even the most harsh conditions. While they were the ancestors of a good number of the flora you had encountered, they were still alien and could easily pervert the natural beauty of Shangrala, while offering little in terms of benefits for such a risk. Your own methods of fertilization and cultivation already rivaled the bounty such ancient produce could bring, even while combined with the knowledge of hydroponics. Perhaps they could be used to hasten the healing of the Cui region, but you had ensured those abused lands would be healed without your direct intervention years ago.

"And that is not even mentioning the time it would take for the people's digestive systems to properly adjust to the greater yield of nutrition, but you are already well experienced with that particular hurdle" Kanzeon says somewhat sorrowfully.

"Precisely, even my more mundane improvements in the basic diet of laborers and lords alike, needed to be introduced in stages to keep their bodies from initially rejecting the vitamins and minerals they desperately needed" You sigh yourself, setting the notes and schematics pertaining to both the stones and cultivation of ancient seeds aside "Though it would not be a long period of adjustment, I cannot risk the splendor of Shangrala's wilds for such a miniscule improvement of nutrition"

"Nor can I, judging from the samples you have brought to me, the world has adapted despite the...intrusion of my sisters and I, which was our purpose. In a way, it would be sullying our legacy and that of our passengers" Kanzeon says, her words warm yet distant in reminiscence of ages long since past and forgotten

And while Kanzeon holds many detailed records and catalogues of medical knowledge, concerning the treatment of injuries, diseases and even inborn maladies that even with the knowledge you have gathered in your lifetime, seemed like mere fantasy at best and the lies of charlatans at worse they could not be easily spread and introduced to society at large. As the majority required the advance faculties and wonderous technologies of Kanzeon. But such study was not pointless, as you had learned numerous techniques and chemical formulas that would somewhat improve the standards of treatment and medical care within the former kingdom of Yan.

"And I had offered to treat the worst injuries myself, but from what you have informed me, my landing and imprisonment here has rendered the surrounding lands and caverns rather inhospitable to human life" Kanzeon mutters ruefully as the lights of the quarters she had bequeathed to you briefly flash fiery hues of orange and red.

"An obstacle we shall overcome in the coming years, no danger is eternal. Every threat can be quelled or otherwise suppressed" You say casually as you gather the various blueprints and records of machinery far more advance than the technology of any nation of Shangrala.

While such instruments and mechanisms could be discovered and replicated without Kanzeon's direct intervention, it would take decades or even generations for such knowledge to be widespread and accepted. For such technology to be created independently, would require a great price. A toll that would be paid by Shangrala herself. Metals that the mere mining and harvesting of would pollute and taint her waters. Industry so advance that it would spread and burn away her beauty, forever marring her face, corrupting the landscape and soiling the purity of her foggy air.

The lights shift and change to a deep and sorrowful shade of blue, the color of the skies at night before a storm. Sighing, you can already hear Kanzeon's response to the worries and fears you still hold concerning the spread of industry and its practices.

"Such damages are inevitable, it why your kind spread throughout the stars. They drained the planet from which they originated of all useable resources, polluting it so gravely in their expansion they abandoned it for new homes. Such damages are simply the result of progress" Kanzeon says quietly, knowing you refuse to believe in such a cynical concept that all nature must be perverted and abused if any progress is to be achieved "it is the truth, no matter how much you wish it wasn't, Lieren"

"We are born in the world, all men share the same cradle from birth to death. Do not abuse the world, do not wound it in search of glittering gems, do not poison its lakes, do not tear down its forests without reason" You answer, reciting a passage from the Journey, one of its core tenants, as Kanzeo sighs. The distant machinery churning in her bowels grinds and groans, telling you she is pained and somewhat shamed by your response.

"It remains impressive that your ability at spotting emotion and intent and perceiving tells, remains effective with a mechanical being such as myself" Kanzeon says, her voices rumbling within the walls surrounding you.

You just wag a finger in response and continue reciting the verse.

"Every creature upon the world is a member of our family. A blade of grass holds more value than any gem from the earth" You say impassioned, pressing a hand between your twin hearts as your voice soars and reverberates off the walls still shaken by Kanzeon's words

>>4795075

"Nature is not an enemy, nor a resource, it is our mother, our father, our home. Treat it as such, care for it as such. For every tree you fell, plant two. Do not pollute water as you take it in a pail, do not scar the land to build a monument. Do not block the flow of the stream or river, take no more than you need to from nature, be it lumber, stone, grain or meat. For, like any form of life, nature itself may be poisoned, may be wounded. Care for it."

"Sometimes the ardor with which you cling to your values and beliefs is exasperating, even if I agree with their sentiments" Kanzeon mutters, as the lights slowly shift to a bright and serene hue of green. The color of a forest in spring.

"Though I do not understand, why you would not take knowledge of more advance industrial machinery and technology to the surface, A single replication of but one of the foundries would be able to improve the standards of livings for countless lives" Kanzeon questions sharply. But she already knows the answer to that particular decision.

"Single. One. They would be reliant on you for such a treasure, and if they could not contact you to be gifted further, it would become an object to be fought over, to be worshipped. While there are treasures within you, that could eliminate many of the obstacles I am resolved to overcome such as pollution and the squandering of nature's beauty" You explain rapidly, speaking with such haste that only yourself, Kanzeon or perhaps one of your brother Primarchs, could understand your speech "Or so greatly raise the standard of living that men would live as gods, given all of the comforts of fabled heaven. But, such treasures would force them to be dependent upon you or myself. And I cannot inflict such a curse upon any society , yet alone that which are my kin and kindred"

"They will still abuse the gift of the technology you give to them, eventually. It is human nature" Kanzeon replies sadly, relenting in the argument knowing their will be no convincing you otherwise.

"If they are possessed by the spirit of avarice, perhaps" You answer simply and confidently "The industry I shall give to them, the machines and vehicles, can be replicated with minimal impact upon the world's ecosystem with proper knowledge and care, and be reproduced by anyone with proper training. It is a gift, that can be given to all and maintained as long as knowledge of construction remains"

"I suppose I should be content that my gift will at least bring about an ascension away from this planet's present primitive state" Kanzeon reassures herself, speaking happily again "Even if I am kept from bringing about greater refinement and technological upgrades to its inhabitants"

"A starving man will glut himself to death upon a feast if offered" You reply, Kanzeon sighs again.

and quietly mutters "I know" In reply.

>>4795078

"I am sorry that I must restrain your generosity, but its for the good of the people and the land" You say sadly as Kanzeon's breath whips around you.

"I'm only allowing them this knowledge because I trust you to restrain their baser natures, Lieren. If any other asked for such a gift, I would refuse them" Kanzeon says bitterly

Gathering the records detailing the construction and use of the machinery and vehicles you shall bring with you to the surface, you turn towards the nearest stream of light to the desk your are seated at, and with a smile, attempt to reassure Kanzeon

"Besides, it is not as if that knowledge is the only gift I will bring to them" You say with a merry grin, the lights showing Kanzeon's rising joy as they shift between bright and vivid hues of green and gold, like sunlight falling upon the branches of an ancient tree unshrouded by fog "And the other is not something taken from you"

"But rather you, or to be accurate, your origin" Kanzeon chuckles in reply "To think that humanity would produce technology more advance than myself while I slumbered.

And the research to achieve and understanding of such technology, has revealed such boundless wisdom to your mind.

How to harness that innate connection you hold to the "Empyrean", and how to consciously harness the energies that passed not only through your soul but through all souls. The power that Guozhi used to contact you in the Celestial Incarnation palace, this...Psykerism. This revelation combined with your prior understanding of the other world, has given to you a deeper understanding of its nature and that of its inhabitants.

And the dangers they inherently present.

However, that is not the only secret derived from the mechanical egg that brought you to this world. No, a secret of sorcery and a secret of technology are now yours as well as the secret of the mind, the knowledge of pyskers and the potential power they wield. And, if held by one blessed with the gift of Psykerism, such as yourself, Guozhi, or upon reflection a few odd characters you've encountered in your travels, be turned into a rather effective weapon against the denizens of the spirit world by acting as a focus of sorts, of belief and hatred.

The wards and protections placed upon your crib by your regretful "birth" father, that must have guarded you from the whatever powers brought you to Shangrala. Which you have studied and now understand the exact geometrical shapes and sigils required to summon forth the same arcane protection that once shielded your infantile form from the predators of the Empyrean and their corruptive touch. And implant it into certain substances.

A sort of nullification field, that denied such energies, forming an ethereal shield around the "Null Denouncement Charm" as you have chosen to name these magical wards against evil.

>>4795084

They produce a field that shields all within it, in an area dependent upon the material and intricacies of the glyphs carved upon its surface, as well as the wearers ambient force of will.


But, perhaps more exciting, is the fact that you have found the method of your own creation, or fragments at least. Kanzeon did not understand the information, but you did. A string of code, of genetics, that could produce a vessel of suitable strength to withstand a soul of great psychic potency. The knowledge of how to create yourself, a primarch, remains lost to you, as there were strange gaps in the record of the process, of which only a fraction of a fraction of a fraction were recorded within the egg. But, there was enough, to understand how to weave and build a body that could withstand the presence of a somewhat more potent soul or several at once. If the proper faculties were used.

it would be a costly endeavor, but, with the right precautions It may be possible to give Kanzeon a body of flesh and blood, by creating an empty shell that could play host to the vastness of her mind. It is all mere conjecture and theory, but if you could just understand what genetic markers allowed for a body that was equipped to deal with a being such as herself. An artificial life birthed by the same process as the Lotus scepter extracted memories, but at a far grander scale. One that drained the very essence of life from the...unfortunate souls used to facilitate her conception.

Then perhaps. Just perhaps. Kanzeon could walk among humanity, as one of their own or at least, as akin to them as you yourself were.

it would circumvent the cost of producing a drone for her to puppet, but...the costs of birthing such a vessel and the dangers associated with it were still unknown to you. But, perhaps...just perhaps, in your life time, you would discover the risks and means of such creation. And give Kanzeon the gift of mortal existence.

"Lieren? you've closed your mind to me for sometime...is something wrong?" Kanzeon frets, as you cease entertaining such wild hopes and dreams and smile

"Oh I was just meditating for a moment, nothing more" You reply happily, cupping your hands together and bowing.

"Whatever secrets you wish to keep from me, I will not attempt to pry from you" She replies dryly, accepting your privacy "Oh, allow me to rephrase that "The hidden treasures of your mind, shall remain in your sole possession, for it would be a grievous sin to steal them from your heart"

You can't help but to laugh, even though the remark was a teasing insult of your poetic manner of speech. But still, it would be a wonderful thing, to walk beside Kanzeon and hold her hand, feel the warmth of her pulse and feel her breath upon your face. To free her from the shackles of her being, the chains of her body.

How lovely, it'd be, to see her laugh and see more than naught but mist and light. It is...a dream you can allow yourself to entertain and fancy.

A primarch-tier body for Shipfu would be really interesting, it's something I would support researching regardless of whether or not it seems possible. A headcanon that I love the idea of (but don't actually believe) is that one of the lost primarchs was female and was purged because she fell in love with a human and started having Nephilim-like offspring that Big E though threatened humanity. It'd be interesting to see if we could even make something genetically compatable with ourselves, let alone how people would react to it.

>>4795531
If the talismans are called null fields, wouldn't that also trap the souls to the dead body?

>>4795588
Or you could make it more grimdark and say that the souls basically end up experiencing that one horrible, horrible SCP death scenario because they're unable to go to the realm of souls.

Because ultimately, the 'warp' is the realm of souls, right? It's just been completely and utterly fucked up because of the War in Heaven and the Age of Strife.

I'm fairly certain that it probably was pretty nice before the Necrons fucked it all up. Knowing how the warp works, you probably ended up in whatever afterlife you believed in.

>>4795567
>>4795588
>>4795602
That’s retarded enough to happen.

>>4795605
It WILL most likely happen. It's a null field. You know what nulls are, right? They're not just 'anti-daemon' fields, they're literally anti-soul fields. If you used them to bury people, you'd just be trapping their souls in their bodies in some horrible way.

It'd be like a worse version of a dreadnought casket.

>>4795605
Hey, the grimdark spares no one.
Best case scenario we have is using our human hope field to try and create a safe haven in the warp for people like in the Imperial Faith, but make it temporary so everyone ressurects.

>>4795131
this is good

>>4795611
Eh..The Imperial Faith is mixed. Some sources say it's real, then others go and make people who believe in the emperor do miracles. Like, can you really say he's not a god when stuff like Living Saints exist? By all meanings, he IS the God of Mankind.

So maybe believing in the emperor gets you special heaven place. Maybe no. Like with most 40k things, it's not clear.

>>4795609
I shouldnt think so. if they were strong enough, then I dont see why the souls shlukdnt dissipate eventually.

>>4795614
it's not real*

Point is, we should NOT use the null runes in rituals. In fact, we should do anything to ensure NO ONE will use those runes. In general, i HEAVILY disagree with trying to introduce Psykery into Yan Society.

Do we really want to end up like Prospero?

>>4795619
A utopia of learning and culture, beautiful and well designed on every level with philosophy and knowledge shared freely and no man ever went hungry or without shelter, savagely razed due to the manipulations of horus?

Yeah, why the fuck wouldnt you want to be prospero? The only thing that sucked was the psychic wild life, which wasnt the psykers fault.

>>4795632
It was obliterated because Magnus was dumb

One psychic fuckup and KABLEW IT

>>4795614
That's why it would be a temporary haven, just good enough for people to ressurect before the daemons get to them.
And I'm inclined to believe that the Imperial Faith does actually work a bit. Most probably not the way it's preached about, but it has been showed that is has some significant powers, probably due to the shear size of the faithful imperial population and all the psyker sacrifices.

>>4795638
Not really.
Russ was ordered to bring him in, then kill him, which led to the unfortunate situation of the planet being exterminated twice.

>>4795642
>Resurrection
I'm certain that won't end badly in any way...

>>4795642
Resurrection does already happen in canon 40k as well, beyond things like Lucius the Eternal popping out of his killer's body with a new screaming face on his armour or Fabolous Bill moving on to the next clone body.

There's an entire faction of the Inquisition that's experimenting with resurrection to find a way to revive the Emperor, but they keep running into the problem that the resurrected tend to be pretty unhappy to be alive again.

>>4795772
>>4795794
Fuck I meant reincarnation, like the whole thing with our monk friend, but trying to see with it would be possible for the non-psyker population. Even if they never become able to retain their memories, atleast their soul isn't completly gone, or used to strengthen chaos.

>>4796618
Look here faggot, you don't fight the grimdark by falling to their traps, you do it by beating the shit out of them and defying the odds.
Don't put null fields on people graves, because a null isn't someone without psyker powers, it's someone that has a negative psykic presence, meaning it sucks warp presence in. Therefore you would trap souls in their graves.
That's why the reincarnation safe haven is the best bet, cause you don't need to carve out the warp to protect humanities souls and therefore play the Chaos gods game, you just get some small pocket to defend against, and people can live again. Which is kinda like the Emperors plan with the webway project, thinking about it.
So yeah, we can't avoid the grimdark by just playing into their hands, gotta do it in a roundabout way and get what you can.

"Fixing" the Imperium, or even a handfull of it's numerous flaws, is an unreasonably lofty goal. Even if we get the go-ahead from dad, the Imperium is massive. We'll have no way to ensure our solutions spread to every world, or even a whole percent of them. I remember someone talking about how we should preplace servitors, which would pretty much freeze ever facet of Imperial life in its tracks. We'll make things better for people, but I don't think our efforts will touch even a millionth of the galaxy's human population.

If we manage to spread some new ways to manage all the sprawl and balance all the polution and over-population it would be a huge help. Reducing the nobility's decadence, improving the condition of the poorer populace and avoiding the incredibily over-the-top things that breed eternal discontent and therefore legiona of willing chaos workshippers would be very nice, but something that we would require a lot of reforms and mangement to do, so just take whatever progres we can really.
Perhaps trying to work with guilliman to ensure the administratum doesn't become too bloated or inefficient could be a good start.

>>4796758
Also we should probably try to ensure a good system for supply lines, as proven by our road project, where one place is weak can be covered another strength.
A system of space fortresses that also serve as ports, warehouses and logistics centers to minimize the problems that supply routes through the warp can happen, maybe with an adeptus astronomicam garrison so they can mantain communication with eachother, so they can cover any resources shortages. Would just need to have a few emergency null axe boxes around, you know, just in case.

With tests and some thinking we should be able to see what it can and can't do. beside that right now this type of charms aren t a priority. There is other things we need to do.

Certainly though, is a very nice thing to have. Both for us and our people, now we can take out more evil spirits.

Are those the psykers used for warp messaging, or the one for traveling through the warp? All I know is that for the former any psyker (i think) can be trained into it, and the latter requires inbred Terran mutants.

>>4796807
Good shit as always man. At the rate your chugging at we might as well use the banners for separate space marines captains or something.

>>4796758
I don't know how well even that would work. The Imperium (on paper) operates in a class system where what you're born as isn't nearly so significant as your ability. A noble who ignores their responsibilities is meant to be cast down from nobility, whereas a talented enough person can rise to any height, if they're able to outcompete literally trillions of people (for example, the head of the Adeptus Arbites in the Calixis sector spent most of their early life as a smuggler).

And yet, the Imperium is still crammed full of idle nobility and sinecures, in spite of the Administratum and Orders Famulous' best efforts. The galaxy is simply too damn large to have any sort of centralized governance that would be needed to institute the sort of widespread reform you're talking about.

>>4796820
Messaging, the ones that travel are the navigator houses.
>>4796823
It wasn't really a reform the entire Imperium, more like get the biggest two organisation autist to fix the actual centralized part in the capital and and try to spread the knowledge and ideas using the all new ALMIGHTY SPACE ROAD tm.

After reareading what you wrote, I was agreeing with you actually, I said that fixing those problems would be way to costly while the crusade was underway, so we should focus on spreading knowledge and reforming the administratum if we can.
Probably didin't explain well my toughts, so here I go.
Reducing the nobility's decadence, improving the condition of the poorer populace and avoiding the incredibily over-the-top things that breed eternal discontent and therefore legiona of willing chaos workshippers would be very nice,
What I wish we could do

>The best realistic result we could have
Perhaps trying to work with guilliman to ensure the administratum doesn't become too bloated or inefficient could be a good start.
>An idea on how to try and achieve it.
And than there is the other post of setting up the fortress system, I copied our road is already setup and tried to change it a bit for space. Probably very expensive, but the extra layer of defenses and trade would pay itself back very quickly, and ease of travel is the best way for knowledge to propagate by itself.

Ok, I'm done being autistic for now

Calling the vote now

Purposefully find a location steeped in the energies of the Empyrean, to test the Null denouncement:10

introduce Kanzeon's voice alongside her gifts to the likes of Cao Yunru, Shan, Shirong, and Dandan as you tutor the four on the mechanics of the new machinery and technology you bring.:16
-Also talk with Dandan alone about her distressing zeal when it comes to blowing people into fine red mist: 9

Check on the progress of the two edicts you passed:2
-And allow Kanzeon to speak to the capital and its virtuous inhabitants, like Luli:1

Find your teacher and friend Ghuonzi, his knowledge of spiritual matters can help better understand the Empyrean and this technology:1

Travel to the Cui lands , and gift a trusted friend the lordship of the region, after you "Discover" A previous unknown "underground spring' that brings a great lake to the center of the arid province.:1

Total votes: 17

So Lieren will purposefully seek out a location steeped in Empyreal energies to test the Null Denouncement charms

And then introduce Kanzeon to the mechanically and intellectually gifted of his followers as he tutors them on the use and maintenance of the new technologies he brings, and then talk to Dandan about her distressing enjoyment of artillery and its affects on the human body

Which will happen, AFTER he's tested the charms.

Fucking autocorrect

Your departure from Kanzeon is bittersweet. While you greatly enjoyed the time you spent in your company, the knowledge that you are once again abandoning her to languish alone in the stygian depths where has laid for eons weighs heavily upon your heart. Even if the radios she constructed will allow her to interact and converse with others besides yourself, it is a most inefficient salve for the great suffering she is still forced to endure beneath Shangrala's surface.

This truth darkens your thoughts, like the somber haze of a fog that settles after a heavy rain or the atmosphere of a graveyard whose inhabitants have been long forgotten in both face and name. Thankfully, with the unseen master's attentions fled away from the tunnels he once ruled over, the journey to the surface is peaceful despite the state of your mind. Though, with the greater knowledge you now hold concerning the nature and the distressing symptoms of over exposure to Empyreal energies, you give the corrupting gems a wide berth as you pass them by. Though you have thus far eluded the mutations and warping of the mind that is apparently inherent to such substances, relying on the chance that such good fortune will endure is the height of foolishness.

Men may call you the kin of panthers, but you have no great desire to appear as though you were. Imagine what your erstwhile family would think if they met you, and you bared claws and fangs? Or even fur! They wouldn't recognize you as a son or brother. Even kindly old Wenyan, your father and the man who is the reason you are Lieren rather than some emotionless living automaton would scarcely be able to perceive you as yourself if such a sorcerous malady befell you. Besides, the worse possibility is a magical beast that retains not only your prodigious strength, but your vast intellect and cunning as well.

A chill trickles down you spine like water from melting ice. Best not to even imagine such nightmarish scenarios, lest they sully the mind with their mere presence.

Sighing, you continue your march to the surface, past the ruins of the civilization that Kanzeon had sheltered in their decent to Shangrala, who fell to the wiles of the Unseen master and the promises powered by both the Empyrean and the Gems pervaded their mountain homes. Once, the sights filled you with a nearly feral sense of rage, but now that the history of this place was known to you, you could only feel sorrow as you looked upon all that remained of the legacy of Kanzeon's wards. Degenerated into monsters and slaves to a vile darkness.

A tragedy, that is known only to the two of you. A history forgotten, rightfully so, burned away from all records and myth. Completely cleansed and removed from the minds of the people. Condemned to such a fate by no fault of their own, at least at the start. In the end, abandoning their morals and virtues was their choice alone.

>>4797129

Even if they were manipulated to commit such abominable actions, that does render them blameless. Just like the Yan. Just like the adult tigerfolk.

The light of dawn's first rays, clears away the grim ponderings that have so besieged your mind, releasing you from their grasp as you step from the shadows beneath the cold earth and into the gentle warm fresh air of the Bone Devouring Forest in autumn.

And are greeted by an unexpecting sight. A gathering of monks, dressed in bone white robes the sleeves, hoods and hems of which were dyed various colors though the majority were left blank. Black, green jade, Plum, Azure, and Gold. Only one of them wore robes stained golden, and he too wore a mask of white jade that was undecorated except for channels into which bright yellow dye derived of dried pollen was poured into.

And beyond those golden mock eyes, two blue eyes as youthful as a newborn babes stared back at you proudly and joyously. Guozhi. And to his side, with Azure stained robes, stood Kuan im, whose cloudy eyes stared out from a porcelain mask. Guozhi, who is blessed with the power of a psyker, you can believe to be somehow capable of making the journey through this most inhospitable wilderness.

After all, before he revealed his ability to you, you had often wondered how he was able to travel so far and quickly despite his advance age. But Kuan im? And the other disciples that kneel behind the meditating Guozhi? That is strange indeed. Especially as a number of them appear to be, judging by their size and undisciplined posture, youths who had only recently left their childhoods behind.

"Lieren" Guozhi says, greeting you with the same warm geniality as he always has, as if he were merely inviting you to share within him freshly brewed tea while the two of you discussed philosophical quandaries and other scholarly interests, rather than sitting before the bones of the previous generation of tigerfolk, slain by the Vishnu

"Guozhi, Kuan im" You answer, forcing yourself to speak with curt stoicism so as to not reveal your surprise or confusion. Then you spot a flash of red behind the wooden painted mask of one of the younger monks, and anger born of concern breaks your composure.

"QIAN XIAOWEN!" You shout accusingly, as the boy turns away trying to avoid looking in the same direction as your gaze, which now burns with unrestrained fury "By what madness have you been led here! To such a place! A forest that has devoured both storied heroes and warbred armies! Were the comforts of your home so tedious to you, that you sought any means to foolishly endanger and threaten your life!"

The air of awed veneration is wiped away and replaced with an awkward tension as the monks turn to look upon their wayward member, who remains silent and struggles to avoid looking your way. The heir of the Qian doubtlessly knows he cannot bare to meet your gaze, let alone endure the scolding to follow.
cont

>>4797132

Kuan Im remains captivated by her meditative trance, unbothered by your sudden appearance and unsightly outburst.

"Such power" She says have consciously, like a dreamer speaking in their sleep. Guozhi remains seated for a moment, his young blue eyes watching you carefully, picking apart every detail of your being and observing them closely. Much like your own habit of studying the minutest detail of everyone and thing you encountered in your travels.

"Forgive this Junior's insolent interruption" Guozhi speaks, raising to his feet, clutching a staff carved from a burnt branch that is wrapped in the vestments of his extinct order "I assure you, no danger befell any of your disiples upon their pilgrimage to your site of"

Guozhi's eyes meet your own, and you can feel his thoughts and emotions as if they were your own. Though it would be obvious to your eyes, he explains in pure thought that he knows your true purpose upon this mountain was a rendezvous with a strange being that lives beneath it, as well as the fact he shall not pry into the nature of that being or the meeting between the two of you.

"Meditation" He says, glancing back to the occultists, priests and young men and women turned monks "For while this humble Guozhi is not host to the same power than you have cultivated within yourself, nor blessed with your genius talent to wield and control your vast quantities of Qi, I am partially skilled in masking not only my presence but the presence of those nearby, as well"

Your eyes narrow, and Guozhi nervously chuckles.

"You are my mentor, do not refer to yourself as my junior, you have lived years beyond imagine, Grandfather" You answer bitterly, gaze still focused upon the wayward Qian Xiaowen "And while your guidance and protection of this flock reassures me, it does not change the fact that among its numbers, sits the young heir of the Qian. Who has no business wandering so far and into such a dangerous locale"

"He...awoke to his innate talent. His mother agreed to allow me to tutor him in the expansion and control of his burgeoning ability" Guozhi answers quietly "And I cannot call myself the teacher, when my pupil has far surpassed me in both talent and knowledge"

"In the bone devouring forest, upon the mountain top home of the Tiger folk? By knowing me, you should be aware that any veil or shroud can seen through" You say coldly, turning your gaze to Guozhi to spare Xiaowen of the unease and pain inflicted by prolonged exposure to your glaring eyes "And that is simply not true, Guozhi. It is true, I am wise and blessed with Keen intellect, but you are my superior in both regards"

"Power" Kuan Im chants again, cloudy eyes staring past your physical form to gaze upon the spirit that lies within.
cont

>>4797136

"No such existence that could pierce my shroud yet remains in these untamed woods, Elder Lieren, you yourself saw to it that would be so" Guozhi says humbly, cupping his hands together before moving them apart to prostrate before you

"And, you have surpassed me, in not only wisdom and intellect, but strength and skill as well. None among the adherents my old sect has ever reached the heights you now stand upon, radiant in your enlightened state of being. I can only call you grandfather, despite our disparity in age, oh ever humble Lieren" He speaks solemnly as he rises shakily to his feet once more, at the precise moment you began to feel disgusted at how he debased himself "Please accept my sincerest praise for the diligent progress you have made up the path of enlightenment"

"You would not lie to me, nor misjudge your own capabilities, so I can at least be content in the knowledge that your disciples" You say, turning your eyes briefly back to Qian Xiaowen, he has hung his head in shame "However misguided they may be. However, the fact remains you have led them here, the most inhospitable region of the former Yan Kingdom, besides the lands once abused by the Cui. For what reason? Surely, Guozhi, you would not be so foolish as to simply lead your students in my footsteps"

"Oh benevolent Lieren, whose wisdom is unmatched beneath the heavens!" One of the former hidden occultist proclaims, shaking his hands in prayer above his head thrice "We have come seeking your guidance so we may be allowed the privledge of merely looking upon the results of your masterful cultivation"

"Forgive me, but I did not understand the meanings of the words you spoke, sir. Which I must admit is a rarity, take that as a kind of congratulation if you wish to" You say, turning your eyes from the monk to Guozhi once again "Perhaps, you could explain this congregations purpose here, as I asked?"

"Oh course, Grandfather" Guozhi says offendedly, with a mischievous smile as he watches your expression twist to show your distaste at being referred to as such by a man you consider a respect teacher "While you have toiled austerely to better the lives of the people and bring prosperous providence to the land, I gathered from among my students those who could serve as disciples, who held the potential to become cultivators"

You stare into his heart, and in your thoughts ask a single question. Cultivators. Guozhi's mind sighs and his eyes turn half lidded for a moment as his gaze falls to the floor.

"Psykers. though I dislike the term on principle, considering the manner of which our kindred held themselves historically upon this world. From the children of the mountain, to the worst tyrants history remembers" Guozhi admits, whispering into your mind.

Nodding, you reply in a way that the gathered disciples can perceive.

"For what purpose have you gathered these students?" You ask bluntly
cont

>>4797138

"To seek your tutelage and guidance, as my junior brother Qiu explained" Guozhi says briskly, smiling beneath his jade mask "If you would become the leader of this infantile sect, we would follow your commands with great vigor"

You resist the urge to pinch the bridge of your nose, or show your irritation by brushing your iron hued hair back, Instead you simply smile, and understanding that these people see you as sage of celestial mysteries, speak more formally to keep them from becoming to gravely confused.

"Forgive me for my curtness, but there are other matters I must see to first before we can discuss this offer at length. My responsibilities are, after all are not only numerous but great. I shall, however, allow you to follow the road I take away from this hellish place" You say, before realizing that like Kanzeon, Guozhi can gaze into your thoughts and read them like a book.

And how close you are with the old monk, the sense of ease and comfort his presence inspires has washed away the fortifications of your mind's gate.

"So you seek a territory that is thick with malevolent Qi to test your capabilities as an exorcist?" Guozhi asks, removing his mask to reveal his good natured grin beneath, curling a few of his fingers through his long white beard as the older acolytes gasp, and finally bring Kuan Im from her stupor "This humble student knows of several locals that are so accursed"

"That would certainly expedite my pursuit in finding a suitable location to test my skill" You say, smiling subconsciously as Kuan im sighs.

"For what purpose? surely you know you have the knowledge to cast wicked spirits from the world of the living, already" She ponders outloud

"Practice" You answer simply "Self improvement is an endless road, I cannot allow myself to rest upon my current level of skill, otherwise I will one day be overcome by a foe I would otherwise best in battle, no matter the form it may take"

I'm tempted to see if the will and psychically-charged creation of a Primarch is enough to negate the ill effects of this shit. All sorts of fuckers in WHF use it in the construction of their arms and armor, I'm curious to see if we could do the same. Maybe we could use a chunk of it as a psychic focus too?

>>4797743
Come up with a better one or tell me why.

>>4797761
>why
Warp

>>4797761
40k and Fantasy, as similar as they are, don't run on the same metaphysics. In Fantasy, magic (Warp energy) is constantly being drained away from the world by the Great Vortex. It ISN'T in the 40k galaxy, there's just enough space around to stay a safe distance away from the effects most of the time.

Warp materials in 40k are absolutely corruptive, much as they are in Fantasy. Psychically conductive materials exist beside them that DO NOT corrupt anyone and everyone that goes near them/looks at them too closely.

SO yeah, using 40k!Warpstone for a psychic focus is a horrible idea. Just use something better, like the bone(s) of psychic fauna, or Wraithbone if we ever come across Eldar.

>>4797774
Inavoidable
>>4797780
Warpstone doesn't exist in canon 40k, presumably the shit in the cave is 1-for-1 WFB warpstone, which means it's merely solidified warp energy. Granted, after spending a thousand years around a corrupted psyker and a daemon, it's probably TZEENTCHED, but we just learned our wards, purifying rituals aren't particularly far out of our wheelhouse. Then it's just a matter of bending that solidified Warp energy to our prodigious willpower and conviction. Which will be cake.
>Warp materials in 40k are absolutely corruptive
This isn't true.
>bone(s) of psychic fauna
I like this, provided we can find some that aren't corrupted mainly for the fact I believe we're not really making good on our name. At times I've thought we'd be better off changing it to whatever Philanthropist is in Chinese. Decking ourself out in bones would definitely make us look more like a hunter.

Are we gonna talk about restoring the monk order to combat the forces of chaos? We gonna train these lads?

That, Kanzeon's proposed lab-grown body, and the conglomerate of souls will be our first gifts to the Imperium at large.

These seem like Shangralan lore options that I'd like to find out more about, but not pressing as for this demonstration of power. Especially the famine of our birth - I understood that Nothing and the surrounding regions only fed the city of the Gao.

I nominate this, as Lieren is the cause and the focus or the massacred Kang forces here. It's for us to cleanup. I would like to follow up with the other regions later.

Wraithbone isn't a Warp material as I define it, which is material from the Warp itself like Warpstone (in Fantasy all deposits of Warpstone were fragments of Morrslieb and asteroids of the stuff that originated in the Warp before raining down on the plant and becoming imbedded in the crust, barring a few exceptions like a mutation that instantly converts your brain into a chunk of one and turns you into a thoughtless automaton for anyone with magical power). Wraithbone is a material that is very psychically conductive and can be grown and shaped by a psyker, but it is not a Warp material.

>Of course we are, having a way to better shield psykers from the warp is going to to improve the Imperium by miles.
Some flaw to this logic. If this were true, would the emperor had given this knowledge to all psykers? That must mean that to some degree all psykers have charms, or for some reason the Emperor forgot to hand the charms out to all the psykers.

>>4798308
I wasn't meaning the charms, but training after we restore the order.
After all, they must had a way to protect or hide their souls if they could reincarnate right? That was something that the legions of souls that make the emperor failed to do, hence the whole ritual suicide to be reborn into a sibgle inmortal thing.
There probably is something in that monastery that was shielding them before they were destroyed.

>An abandoned city that was the victim of great tragedy and the famine of your birth.
Do we really want to banish those souls who were betrayed?

>>4798273
It literally is warp material. “Made by a psyker” does not reduce the fact that the psyker explicitly pulled it from the warp.

>>4798308
I mean, psychic hoods and psy-foci, be they charms or staves or outright Force Weapons, are more or less standard issue among Sanctioned Psykers in the Imperium.

And then there's hexagrammic wards like what the Inquisition and Grey Knights have, but those are time-consuming and finicky to make, so it makes sense that it would be a struggle to outfit every Psyker in the Imperium with them, especially when most of them won't run into circumstances that necessitate such measures.

>>4797142
Guohzi you old fool, you're supposed to be based and enlightened-pilled, you aren't acting based at all when you scrape and bow to us like some little weasel!

I mean come on man, you're one of our oldest friends and teachers, you should know that lieren loves it when normies acknowledge themselves to be equals and even occasionally superior to ourselves.

I dunno, maybe he's just doing it as some kind of joke or for some grander purpose, but this really rubs me wrongly

Yeah, something is up here.
We may as well tell him to just knock it out.

Remenber that when he met Lieren, our primarch wasn't even half grown nor had awakened his powers. Then we got the paradox soul, the human waaagh field, the knowledge and conscious dominion over our abilities and soul, a fuckton of knowledge about ourselves and the world in general (which makes your soul richer), lot's of lifting, etc. I think Lieren is much more impressive now than when he was a literal giant kid.

>with a mischievous smile as he watches your expression twist

Also, the prior regime oppressed religion and spirituality, demonizing both and the concept of "Sorcery". For the younger disciples, and those who were occultists/ theologists, Guozhi is putting up a front so they'll feel at ease.

Hence why he's acting like a character from a cultivation story, as it is easier to explain to Yan citizens psyker from that angle, and keep them at ease with their abilities since the Journey has become wildly popular and its a small step from "Living virtuously" to "Seeking enlightenment"

So they, who most came from his mundane students, expect a certain atmosphere and manner. Since Lieren would probably be a better guide than himself, he presents him as a initiate above the master they knew and thus a comforting, reliable presence to those who have only heard of him from stories that end in him hanging people like so many ripe peaches.

Though, Kuan im and Qian Xiaowen do not need that particular reassurance, considering they knew Lieren prior to being led to meet him here.

Notice how he dropped the act when communicating telepathically with Lieren.

And cause the old man thinks its funny. After all, soon he will be Lieren's Junior in age, according to his beliefs.

>>4798687
And he is. consider how Guozhi has referred to him as the "Origin of a great sea". Besides being a big lad, those who can sense it see Lieren's "Paradox soul"

So, imagine a constantly raging inferno in the midst of the web of souls that further empowers it, and are empowered by it in turn. It be pretty awe inspiring, I'd think.

Guozhi stands by your side, energetic and bold despite his advance age. He has taken off the ceremonial mask of mutton fat jade and walks besides you, his robes moving in rhythm with the dancing patches of high grass rippling beneath the gentle caress of morning's light wind. The fog is early thin upon the plains of the Kang, the air still reeks of blood shed seasons before. The stench of gunpowder lingers upon the soil. Your mentor and friend shivers, clinging tightly to the staff he carries, his young blue eyes darting to and fro as if in search of predators hidden in the shadows cast by the man high blades of grass, or lurking under the leafless trees that stand like silent sentinels among the vastness of the wilds.

Smoke rises behind the two of you, from the fortified waystation upon the further reaches of the Giant's road, where Guozhi's disciples now rest awaiting your return from the bloodstained site that has become immortalized in history. The place of Dai Niu's great shame, and the treachery that shall haunt him until his dying days. The site of the battle that crippled the heir of the Kang, committed solely by your command. The location of the "treachery of the turtles", given a wide berth by the builders and patrols who are stationed upon this distant limb of the White Dragon's path, as the giant's road is at referred to as.

Your teacher and dear confidant, is the only man courageous enough to accompany you to the remnants of the battle fought in spring. Spears jut from the soil, rusted by the fogs constant embrace and the showers of rain that have washed away the stench of death, at least physically. Lacquered armor painted silver, lies abandoned upon the ground with great fist sized holes punched through the majority of the pieces.

"The air of this place is heavy with the weight of death and grudges of the dying" Guozhi muses, as the wind causes his bone white beard to flutter beneath his jaw like the tail of a cat "Emotions, dark and grim, have coalesced like water within a depression upon a road. But this is no mere puddle, Lieren, this is a sea of malice and pain. The fog here is thinned by sorrow, Shangrala suffers in grief. The barrier between worlds has waned and grown fail. This place is...drowning in malicious energies"

"I can feel it as well, I can witness it with my own eyes. The boundary between material and spiritual has been damaged, broken down. The realm of the dead settles closely to the world of the living here, by my hand alone" You mutter sadly, feeling the lingering fragments of the emotions the men slain here held in their hearts at the moment of their death, tethered by the pain of death and the pain of the betrayal that led to this massacre

Lowering your head, you gaze upon a skull picked clean by vermin and carrion birds, Night cranes and Hook ravens most likely. Judging from how the soil is raised around the remains, looters passed through here seeking treasures taken from the arms of the dead
Con

>>4798984

And judging by the fresh scent of decay and drying blood, joined their victims in death. Though no predators stalk these quiet plains, coated in in ash and spilt gunpowder, and no guardians tend to the dead like the priests of old. Something else has slain these criminals, and taken the flesh and bones of the body. The only sign of their passing the prints of their feet, or the tatters of cloth torn from their bodies alongside their meat. Teeth, ripped from jaws, the grease of entrails resting upon wet soil. Your hunter's eyes alone notice this evidence of violent slaughter.

"If I had been patient, perhaps the tragedy upon the Lion's border could have been averted and the men whose remains lay beneath its grasses would still walk amongst the living yet" You sigh, tracing a furrow in the ground with your toes, calculating the weight of the man's still corpse that created the indentation when it was dragged away by the mysterious killer.

There lays a presence in the air, that is reminiscent of the palpable wickedness that surrounded the unseen master and Huli Jing, and every magical beast you have battled against. However, it is thin, weaker than the aura, the stench that surrounded those creatures. Like a leak in a pitcher compared to an storm filled river.

A crack in reality, a wound on the world, inflicted by the spear of grief and grudges.

"Men who know the future, often walk a path that dooms them to whatever fate they witnessed" Guozhi Lectures, sticking close to your side as he follows you amongst the disturbed and ransacked graves "A handful of my brothers with the Wardens of Secrets, foresaw their own deaths, but did nothing to avert them for it was "Destiny""

"The salve of fools" You say dourly, frowning as you spot the hilt of a broken dagger embedded in a tree with crimson hued bark "But such a truth does not lessen my involvement and part played to orchestrate the bloodshed that has sullied these plains"

Guozhi nods sagely, his blue eyes narrowed with sorrow as he pauses the grab a handful of dirt from the ground, running it between his fingers, testing its composition and grit with their tips as he studies it intently.

"Ash of bones" He whispers, as he grinds the filth between fingers thoughtfully "Some beast in men's skin or heretical scholar has cooked a feast from the remains of the slaughtered"

You clench your jaw, grinding your teeth in disgust at the mere thought of such a gruesome act, one you have witnessed before, in the depths of the Celestial Incarnation Palace. Cannibalisms, of which your dear friend Luli was a victim of.

"Such hungers befoul the very air with their vileness" You hiss through your teeth, before glancing back to Guozhi "Though I had not noticed the traces of such foulness, to think the keenness of your eyes could rival my own"

Guozhi meets your grin with a humble smile.
cont

>>4798985

"I simply know the signs of such wicked rites by experience, the sect of my departed brothers trained us to be alert for such clear evidence of corruption" He says bitterly, allowing the dirt to fall from his hands now "Though, I doubt there is a coven of heretical sorcerers making their home here, more likely a mad man briefly made his den in the burrows and crooks of this abandoned battlefield"

"Hopefully the disgusting wretch has met his end, devoured by the Lions of the plains or slain by a living quarry" You spit, catching it in your hand, so the graves here will not be further desecrated. Wiping the saliva upon a rough cloth, you turn your gaze towards the horizon, and see pillars of black smoke crawling from the graves that still lay ahead. The energy of a malice that could survive death itself.

"Let us hope the abomination has passed on from here, for the land is saturated with the Qi of violence and blood. You were right to come here, this place must be purified lest it spoils the minds of all who come to dwell within it" Guozhi says, unsteadily rising to his feet, with your aid.

If only you were trained to know how to purify such taint. Fire, in your experience, worked well to cleanse corruption from flesh and bone, to keep it from spreading after the death of its host. But burning the entire plain bare would not serve to test the effectiveness of the Null Denouncement charms.

Would anyone be against to adding one last addition to Lieren's wargear? Perhaps a Primarch sized pistol that fires +P beanbag rounds? It won't kill a person, but it will knock them flat on their ass.

A Primarch-sized pistol that fires beanbag rounds will absolutely kill a person, the regular ones have a decent chance of doing it. Hell, a Primarch-sized paintball gun would more likely than not be capable of killing someone.

Besides, why bother making +P beanbag rounds for those occasions we don't want to kill what we're shooting at? Just grab a damn Webber pistol instead, much more reliably non-lethal but can still be counted on to stop them in their tracks.

>Perhaps a Primarch sized pistol that fires +P beanbag rounds?
We already have plenty of non-lethal options, plus we can just make beanbag rounds for use in regular firearms.
Also, a +P beanbag round out of a Primarch sized pistol would be the equivalent of firing a doorknob wrapped in a sock out of cannon. It would definitely kill an average man.
I will say though, the addition of a mid-range sidearm, similar in size to a heavy bolt pistol, is something I can see Lieren doing.
Seems like it would pair well with a Power-Dao, or even just another Primarch pistol.
We could reinvent Gun-Fu and shit.

>>4801909
Better to have some gas grenades if we need to pacify someone, rubber bullets can still fuckup someone.
Although a backup pistol in case we drop the Chendao again would be useful.
Together with the twin swords it should cover all of our combat needs.

>>4801909
If you want a sidearm with nonlethal capabilities, we should find a volatic pistol that someone can weld a dial onto. Sounds like a job for some particularly skilled not!heretek.

So Lieren shall hunt down the "Wretch", and use its tainted flesh to test the Null Denouncement charms effects upon living and corrupted tissue.

And then, with Guozhi's aid, forcefully gather the Malevolent Qi and condense it, allowing it to be more easily cleansed/ purged, as well luring in any entities that had come to feed upon the potent emotions of so many deaths caused by betrayal, so he may beat the shit out of them.

You might as well retire the guandao at that point.

>>4802082
A sword fit for a human would be big enough to be the blade of a guadao for a giant.
There, the chendao is now a power weapon

>>4802072
But will that be enough?

>>4802082
Well, we'll have to replace the Chendao at some point anyway, if only because a gunpowder-based compact repeating cannon can only get so far. If we want to keep using a weapon like it, we'd have to recreate it with more advanced tech down the line, so making that upgraded version a power weapon would make more sense.

Especially since I'm pretty sure you can't convert a regular steel blade into a power weapon, you have to build one from the ground up to be one.

>>4802098
Jury-rigging an already functional device is a wasteful practice that I oppose. Also if we aren’t going to craft a power blade for it then what was the point of crafting the guandao? Is the Primarch designed to be a technican who crafted his own weapon to the best of his ability in the name of his dead friend and cares a lot about self-improvement really going to just going to take a lazy short cut like that?

>>4802141
It was before we had learned of power weapons from Kanzeon, I didn't think we would be able to get one until the crusade rolled here.
But now we just news to visit the workshop again in the future, so it's better to keep the swords as very close range options.
Also juryriging is not lazy if you mean to make it work properly, just the worse option if you can make something from scratch.
But back to the original matter, how is doing it making the guandao an anine weapo or ruin it anon?

>>4802049
>But what do you think it would become in the low power setting?
Tasers don't shoot bolts of lightning, they shoot two prongs wired to the pain weapon that conduct electricity. Both have to connect to flesh for the taser to work properly, which is why they are so ineffective. Directed lightning won't have that flaw.

"Hoping achieves nothing, if one wishes to better the world they must labor to change it with their own hands. Callouses are the markings of a life spent toiling for a finer tomorrow" You proclaim, lashing your arm outwards as you face remnants of the wretch's grisly feasts, desecrated graves laid bare before the sun's light and bones cracked open and sucked dry of putrid marrows and liquids too foul to be named. Guozhi smirks and chuckles like a proud grandfather watching the next generation frolic and play in fields he himself cleared.

"Your hunter's outlook has made itself clear once again, my junior. I suppose, despite having all the trappings of a gentle mannered sage, your blood yet boils for the thrill of the chase and execution, no?" Guozhi sighs, hobbling forward and resting near your side.

Kneeling down before his staff, he traces a string of characters, poetry, upon the soot covered half of his walking aid. His method of focusing his psyker abilities, honing them upon lines of thought set and prewritten in his mind. One ignorant of the true nature of his talents, would see such ritual as the makings of a spell or incantation to plead for the intervention of celestial forces. But it is nothing more than a practiced method to improve his confident in powers born from his own being, much like how many actors will sings briefly before stepping on the stage to ready their vocal cords, or how acrobats stretch before their more strenuous performances.

"Be unseen, as a walker upon wind. Be unheard, as the final breath of a hermit. Be unperceived, as the world beyond" He whispers to himself. To your piercing gaze, the air around him flickers briefly, becoming clouded before it returns to its usual clarity. The fog whips around Guozhi's legs as his eyes flash blue. To a man without the potential of psykerism, he would be as unseen as the breeze that twirls and dances across his aged form.

"I cannot allow myself to be called a friend of the people, if I do not remove the predators that threaten their lives" You answer in kind, sniffing the air to attempt to discern if any of the hanging aromas of blood and vile are fresher than the rest that tarnishes this field of grave "I must be certain that wretched beast lays dead, and whether I must make it so, it shall provide a worth subject to test the Null Denouncement Charms' effects upon living flesh spoilt by the touched of Empyrean"

Guozhi rises to his feet unsteadily.

"The touch of Malevolent Qi, specifically those aligned to death, decay and bloodshed" Guozhi says with a tut of his tongue and wag of his finger "I shall leave you to your hunt, Lieren. The dead need to be tended to and given the respect stolen from their graves. Though, I somehow doubt I would prove to be an able combatant if I were to join you in the fray"

You laugh alongside your mentor and dear friend, as he shuffles to the nearest grave, to begin his prayers.

"I would not endanger a friend so carelessly, speak a second prayer in my stead, old friend. I shall return shortly, to begin our true work here. I shall require your knowledge and assistance for the task ahead, so I would ask you not to wander far from here" You say, smiling as you place a hand upon the monk's thin shoulder.

He nods silently, gripping his prayer beads tightly in his hands, winding them around every finger at the base of his wrists as he does so.

"Your expertise shall be invaluable in removing the corruptive forces haunting this place" You add, as you turn away from Guozhi and the grave he now tends to "I shall not be long, scavengers always prove to be easy prey"

"Be mindful of your life, and its frailties, Lieren. May your endeavor being met with success and fortune, I shall pray for your safety as you perform the grisly work of slaying the grave defiling abomination" Guozhi whispers, his voice carrying upon the wind as you leave him in the graveyard, and begin your hunt.

A wretch lay in the muddy waters of the den it had dug beneath a barrow hill left by the passing of war. Dimly, the beast was aware it had once been a man, it knew it had been. But all else had become muddled, like a dream forgotten upon waking. When his belly was full of meat, gristle and fat, the fragments of his life became clearer. Flashes of a young girl, of a doughy mate, of a prosperous field of grains and flowers. But, as soon as he could grasp these recollections of what he had once been, they faded away and were swiftly replaced by the ever gnawing hunger that had taken roost within his gullet and so fevered his mind.

Grasping weakly for a nearby bone with a few strips of meat left upon it, the creatures ruddy hands tipped with black talons festering with filth and disease, lifted from the pool it languished within. Ripples danced from its extended, crooked claws, as it lazily lifted it self from the murk.

Drool and pungent mucus dripped over its trowel like fangs as it rose to its feat, feverish hunger draining what little consciousness yet remained within its bestial mind. Its jaw slacked, its greased grey black hair falling across its tattered, bloated lips as it brought its meager meal to them.

Pangs of pain shot through the wretches spine, consciousness returned as a thin sliver of meat slipped down its yawning throat that had been stretched far wider than any human's neck should be able to accommodate. Flickers of a past life danced pleasantly in the the beast's thoughts, as agony burrowed into its skull as the two black horns upon its brow grew ever so slightly longer.

In the gloom, the wretch's yellowed eyes spotted his own reflection, and briefly realized how far he had fallen. So greatly degenerated that he appeared more ogre than man. His bloated stomached churned and shivered, as he roared and slammed a gangly arm upon the image presented upon the water's surface.
Cont

>>4802309

Retreating back into the soothing depths of the monstrosity of his being, the ogre gnawed greedily upon the leg bone of a wandering bandit he had waylaid the night prior, dragging his overgrown teeth and lashing tongue over its surface to pick and pull even the meagerest morsel from its surface.

And then it came. An oppressive presence, a threat carried upon the air itself. The ogre turned his eyes from his meals, and saw in the darkness of its lair.

Two eyes burning brightly gold. And a flash of torturous recognition shot through his feeble mind. The ogre! the true ogre! the Ogre who led him to adapt such a wretched assistance. Not prey, not competition, but a predator.

The grave stealing ogre growled, phlegm and bile gurgling in its throat as it slunk further into the cool pool of water in which it slept. The giant stepped closer, eyes narrowing in disgust and a spite purer than anything a mortal man could stand to play host to.

"So, you have clung to life after all, debasing yourself in such pointless painful survival rather than welcoming the death that rightfully awaited you" The giant sighed, voice rumbling with a great force of anger intermingled with deep pity "The instinct to survive, rather than give into the peaceful rest to come, is often times more dreadful than the torturous end of starvation that you desperately fled from. BEAST!"

The lesser ogre howled and cried, mind to fractured to speak the tongue he once spoke or even in the voice he held in his prior life.

The greater ogre, with movement so fluid and rapid that it seemed to be nothing but a blur of light to the corpse eater, planted the might weapon he held into the muddy soil of its lair and adopted the feline stance of a veteran mouser, while his quarry shrank back against the wall of earthen home like a fleeing rat.

A small amulet of jade fell from his hand clenched into the crude shape of a spear. Beads of lacquered wood shook as the necklace fell to hang upon the stagnant air. Small slivers of light ignited along its length, glowing with the golden glow of an unobstructed sun.

"Come, or die pitifully" The ogre mocked, beckoning his lesser kin to battle with a flick of his wrist, tightening the claw formed from the finger's of his free hand. The instinct to survive flared in the creatures wretched breast, and it flung itself forward, ruddy skin shimmering beneath the light surrounding the larger beast.

Layers of fat and grease burned away. Reality flickered. The cavern became a forest heavy with fog. The greater ogre was now draped in the fresh hide of a great panther, wearing it over his bared chest like a noble lord's cloak. The wind whipped the fog, and the ogre vanished into it like he had been born and weaved of it himself.

The cavern returned, accompanied by a great pain. The wretch saw its hunter standing above it, foot pressed against its broken leg.
Cont

>>4802311

The femur jutted out from his paper thin skin, blood gushing and flowing down his thighs, forming pools between the bones pressing through his skin.

A moment later, the wretch was in the air, kicked from the ground. Its slavering jaw broken and ground to dust from a single strike. It hung limply. Its back had broken against the cavern wall, he could no longer move or even struggle to defend himself. The ogre was at his side, only foretold by the wind rushing before his rapid stride.

Silently, the greater ogre lifted the lesser from the ground by its throat. His gaze was torture, his expression death. He raised his hand, and set the jade necklace over the still beasts neck.

The wretch felt as if he had been lit aflame, the fever burned from his minds as a blaze tore through his body, attacking even the smallest element of its being as the corruption that had settled within his flesh and fat was forcefully torn away and enflamed.

Kang Fan awoke, in the body that had once been his, in the brief period that the taint that had turned him to such a degenerated existence was wiped away. The hunger was crawling back, but he remembered. He had been a loyal man of the silver Lions. The retainer of the Heir. His cousin Yongrui. He had the misfortune to survive the betrayal that claimed his young master's noble life, having crawled away in the chaos that should have taken him, a spear lodged in his stomach and then...and then. Oh courts above what has he become! What has he become! to survive! Such a depraved, abominable existence! How could he have allowed himself to be so lowered! How could he have committed such foul crimes!?

The ogre was creeping upon his mind, ghoulish hunger replacing disgust and shamed with every breath his broken body took.

"KCh..kch...keeel...kill me giant!" He spat into his treacherous enemies face "Kill me and be done with it, release me from this torment so I may plead for forgiveness in hell!"
-

You lowered your gaze, as the light of intelligence and humanity began to fade from the wretch's eyes as you pulled the charm from his neck.

"As you wish, may your crimes be forgiven in your next life or within whatever fate awaits you beyond. I shall keep the beast you became a secret, a warrior of Kang" You say pityingly, as you grasp the ghoul's head and with a sharp twist of your wrist, tear his head from his shoulders.

As the life fades from its tallow eyes, its lip move to speak a single phrase.

"Thank you"

Sighing, you drop the head to the body, and leave the corpse thief's lair. With a lighter you made while in the company of Kanzeon, you turn its den into a funeral pyre.

"May you find peace in death" You say, quickly praying for the creature. His crimes were terrible, but the being you faced in that burrow could not be considered the same as the man it once was. It was a victim of this corpsefield as much as its own prey were.
cont

>>4802315

It cannot be forgiven for its wickedness, but the man he once was could be mourned.

Shaking your head, you look upon the Null Denouncement charm, as the jade it is carved upon becomes translucent upon the light of the setting sun. There was work still to be done upon these plains. Corruption to cleanse, taint to wash away.

Silently, you walked back to the graves tended by Guozhi.

"Your bloody work is done then, I assume?" The old man asked solemnly "Did your charms function as well as you had theorized they would"

"I understand them better now, but we must now test the true extent of their power. In not only cleansing filth but their ability to ward it away as well" You reply, whipping the charm idly in the air, drawing circles as you wait for Guozhi to finish the prayer for the last ransacked grave "But to set the stage for such a trail, I will need your assistance"

"You intend to do something foolhardy, I can tell by the tone of your voice" Guozhi groans

"Indeed I do, I intend to gather the Qi of death and malice that has gathered here. To condense it into a single area so I may wipe it away in one move, and chase off any beings that had come to feast upon the energy itself' You say, catching the Jade Null Denouncement Charm after swinging it upwards "You understand how to accomplish such a feat, I know how to a barrier of charms to entrap the Qi and the beasts it calls to"

"What a dangerous idea! How bold and how foolish! I cannot help but to aid in such a wild endeavor!" Guozhi laughs energetically before clasping his hands together and bowing "I shall give all of my trust to you, as I have always, Lieren"

You cup your hands together and bow to return the old man's gesture.

"I shall leave the shepherding of Qi to you, while I prepare the sigils of protection and create a stage in which I may combat the malevolence that has made this battlefield its home" You proclaim, before seeing Guozhi mimic your habitual lashing of your arm that you often perform when giving speeches or other commands.

You cackle in amusement and shake your head.

"Now is not the time for humor, Guozhi" You scold as he silently laughs, nodding in agreement.

"A little levity has never hurt a soul, Lieren" He answers "But let us begin our dangerous work, together"
-

The smoke of burning incense clouds the air, muddling the stench of blood, gunpowder and ash. The Moon has risen, its pale light struggling to pierce the shroud of fog. It has grown heavier as Guozhi and yourself toiled to prepare the cleansing of the field of turtle's treachery.

A clearing has been prepared and readied, Stones have been set in a hexagon around it so as to more efficently draw the power of your and Guozhi's wills into the charms and potent rune script carved onto their surfaces. The sigils glow with a fiery golden light, pillars of the substance of souls rising high enough into the night's sky to pierce the heavens themselves.
Cont

>>4802318

Shimmering veils of golden brilliance dance between the pillars, projecting scenes of taken from both of your memories and written by the dreams of each of you hide within your hearts.

Meditating in the center of the spiritual arena, you sit, fully dressed in your armor. The Chendao, Twin Daos and Six fanged spear lay in front of you, chiming harmoniously with Guozhi's chanting. The old sage sits beyond the will fueled walls the both of you have erected. Sweat pours from his brow as he presses both of his thumbs against it, to more efficiently funnel and channel the power shared between both of your wills and souls.

"It is time" You state, turning your eyes to the great orb of twilight floating above you. Screaming skulls tinged violent and verdant struggle to escape the confines of the gathered energy. Vortexes of lighting crackle across its surface, hounded by tongues of flame and smoke.

Leaping to your feet, your break your meditation, opening your thoughts to the ambient emotion of the world as your own conviction flows into the wards surrounding you, turning the spectral shield into a tangible wall of soulfire.

With a wild, thunderous cry, you drive the Jade Null Denouncement charm into the depths of the condensed empyreal energies alongside your fist, and force you will upon it, using a portion of one of the psykerist techniques you have trained yourself in.

The orb cracks, and briefly, so does reality. A new world stands before your eyes, as a great burning needles and claws into your temple. Winds of Qi storm around you, but the barrier holds. Clenching your jaw, you answers the screeching call of the world of spirits with your own bellowed challenge. The Null Denouncement Charm power shields you from the forces that rush against you.

Chaos surrounds you, a storm of unrestrained emotion and subconscious. Maddening images dance around you, tongues of green and black flames flicker around your feet as bolts of lilac energy lance out and burn the air, leaving behind a bitter taste upon it. Your armor is scourged by the winds of the other world , but soon, the sea of anarchy is calmed.

And there is a moment while the every shifting view settles upon a single image that you are able to comprehend. And within it, your enemy emerges to combat you as the gathered dark energy is chased and banished away by the Null Denouncement Charms.

Speaking of Fulgrim, I remember reading an argument that he was actually a closet xenophile the entire time. He would say the lines, express disdain for aliens, his whole stated reason for exterminating the Laer when most of his war council were of the opinion that they were no threat for the moment was that they were trying to reach for perfection when that is solely mankind's right.

And yet, he took a sword from them that he treasured, he was the only one to agree to speak with the Eldar when they tried to warn him about Chaos (though he did try to kill them when they implied his brothers would fall to it) and his Legion were the ones to start jamming alien organs and genetic material into their bodies in their bids at making themselves perfect.

this is my vote here.


Still i don t think it s the deity it self. But one of his demons, remember that we are doing this in the battlefield. I don t believe the place is strong enough for be a full connection, so we might in a border part of sort, partially "colonized" by a demon of nurgle. And made in the image of the main garden it self.

>>4803683
Character doesn’t factor into it. Mortarion was one of the toughest primarches and at his peak he had centuries of experience and was an adult. Lieren on the other hand is still a child primarch. Our only advantage is our willingness to use mystical bullshit.

and well the vote has win, so we are going in there is not much to say about that.

Not that in mind, we are going to have a cool fight ahead of us. And it can be experience for when we must face the actual servant of nurgle send on Shangrila.
