Hanna, with the newly founded power and structures of the Forest Immortal Sect behind her, felt a compelling urge to return to Zarath, the city where she had first set a profound mark on the path of healing. The city, bustling and alive with the energy of commerce and interaction, was also the home of the hospital where Hanna had once elevated healers to new heights of capability and purpose.
Upon her arrival, the hospital, a grand structure standing as a beacon of care and hope in the heart of the city, welcomed her with open arms. The healers, who had grown in number and skill since Hanna’s last visit, greeted her with deep respect and admiration. Hanna addressed them, her voice imbued with the serene authority of a seasoned cultivator.
“I have come to offer you an opportunity, one that will not only expand your horizons but also deepen your purpose,” Hanna began, her eyes sweeping over the gathered healers. “In the Forest Immortal Sect, we are establishing a new generation of healers and warriors, dedicated to liberating and healing the beaten and broken across all lands.”
Her proposal was met with a mixture of excitement and curiosity. “I also offer to set up a teleportation portal, one that connects this hospital directly to the sect,” she continued. “This will allow you to move freely between the city and the sect, to bring back knowledge, and to continue serving the communities here while contributing to our greater mission.”
The healers, many of whom had been trained by Hanna and knew of her power and commitment to making a difference in the world, readily agreed. They saw this as an opportunity to amplify their impact, to teach and heal on a scale they had never imagined.
With the decision made, Hanna set to work. Using her mastery of the Law of Space, she established a teleportation formation in the hospital’s main courtyard. The formation, marked by runes and celestial symbols, pulsed with a gentle, inviting light, bridging the vast distance between the city and the Forest Immortal Sect.
Next, Hanna visited the city lord, a pragmatic ruler who had always respected Hanna’s contributions to the city’s welfare. In his grand hall, Hanna presented her bold plan: to buy the freedom of all slaves within the city limits—around 10 million souls of various races, all yearning for freedom.
The city lord, aware of Hanna’s capabilities and her influence, agreed to the arrangement. The price was set, and the funds were transferred, a monumental transaction that would change the fate of millions.
With the agreement in place, Hanna returned to the central plaza of Zarath, where the slaves were gathered. Standing before the vast crowd, she raised her voice, her words resonating through the very air of the city.
“Today marks the end of your bondage and the beginning of a new path,” she declared, her energy flaring up, creating a spectacle of light and power that captured the attention of the entire city. “Those who wish to follow me to the Forest Immortal Sect, step forward. You will be trained as healers and warriors, as protectors of the weak and champions of the oppressed.”
As thousands stepped forward, choosing the promise of a new life over the chains of the old, Hanna activated the teleportation formation. In a grand display of power and precision, waves of light enveloped those who had chosen freedom, and one by one, they vanished from the city square, reappearing in the spiritual haven of the Forest Immortal Sect.
The event, witnessed by the citizens of Zarath, spread through the city like wildfire. Tales of Hanna’s power and her monumental act of liberation echoed through the streets, inspiring hope and awe in equal measure.
Back at the sect, the newly freed individuals were welcomed by the Great Way Tree and the other disciples. They were introduced to their new roles and the paths they could take as part of their new life. Hanna, watching them take their first steps towards a future they had never dared to dream of, felt a profound sense of fulfillment.
This day had not just changed the lives of millions; it had set a precedent for what the Forest Immortal Sect stood for—freedom, healing, and the power to change the world. As Hanna prepared for the next steps of her journey, she knew that the path ahead was bright, filled with possibilities and the promise of continued transformation.
