Forge of Destiny(Xianxia Quest)

Reader mode
Classic KZ, always ruining everything. We could've been the first in our year, outside of those with Ducal families, to hit Third Realm!

[X] Toward the moonlit peak and its unseen players, calling her to join the serenade.

Moon and music, wind is awesome but secondary for me.
 
[X] Into the sky, unfettered and free, to visit where ever she wished, at the time she wished.

I feel like we aren't focusing on wind enough, despite some serious hints that we have advantages there.
 
... This is going to be a SUPER fight.

[X] Into the forest, full of life and joy. She did not want to leave her friends waiting.

The whole reason we seek strength is so that we can live happily with our friends rather than live in fear of being pushed around. Our wings are strong enough to bear any burden. Power is a means, but friends are the end that the means serves, so I choose them as my priority.
 
I should note that each option doesn't seem to be a single element:

The Village seems to have hints something other than Darkness, what with the mention of "Tiny Lights"

The Wood mentions a bonfire, which is curious addition considering Ling Qi only has 1 Fire art, making me think that it has something to do with Zhengui.

The Peak bears elements of one of the options of our little dream quest after Thunderdome Redux, though this time the impossible peak has been modified.

The Sky is the most interesting to me, as it mentions not only freedom, but also visiting the other locations. The other options seem mutually exlcusive, but the Sky explicitly mentions the being able to visit all the other locations within Ling Qi as well. This, I believe, represents a kind unity among all of the locations we see in the dream, and it represents how Ling Qi has constantly strived to maintain all of the other elements within her at once. Safety, friendship, art, freedom all of that is within her, but none of them dominate another. It is Ling Qi's version of freedom, the freedom to be whatever she wants to be, without limiting herself.

So please, vote Sky!

I disagree with the moon choice. Moon has been our patron, true. But at the same time, that's not us. That's what has been thrusted upon us.

But wind? Freedom? This has always been Ling Qi, and Ling Qi alone.

This is the "fuck you, I pick "all of the above"" option.
 
Great update yrs.

Going to go with music/moon although I do like the wind/freedom and woods/friendship options too. Not sure about the seeking safety in darkness one.
 
BTW, I had a chat with @yrsillar recently and now, that we have broken through and we can't change our bonuses anymore, he agreed to tell us where the last argent art was, what we could have done to get it, and what the breakthrough bonus for having all the argent arts would have been.

I hope this insight will help us in the future, when we will surely face similar situations and allow us to better comprehend @yrsillar s thingking processes.

Joining the serenade might be better mechanically but I think I prefer the implications of this one. Cultivation is all about abandoning your humanity to transcend into something higher, but I'd rather preserve what we can here.
 
Those are some pretty nice bonuses.

I like all these options really. But I think I'm going to go for wind and freedom for now.

Something related to music, and the Moon. It might involve a lake secondary if this is element selection. If this involves bonuses to art cultivation with certain stages like the last realm it would be lung.

For the moment I'll vote for this as a I like the music.
 
@yrsillar

Can we get some confirmation that the peak is actually dual natured moon AND music? Everything else is just one, so that seems a bit imbalanced on the surface.

So, we have a Bone Mech?

Pale Manual keeps on giving.

And Ling Qi is thinking like a proper rogue again.

Friends and connections are fetters, so I wouldn't interpret it as somehow broader or more inclusive then the other choices. It would be her cultivating her Wind and disconnected nature.

Fire in the Woods plays to our friends and Zhengui. We consistantly put them first, so it's the most IC choice to me, though I wouldn't mind the mountain or village, but the Sky just is uninteresting.
