Chapter 946 – Celestial Energy
"Once the vengeful spirits are dealt with, Extreme Misty Forest will be free of threats and open for people to explore. However, I want to check out the terrain in the north and assess the Boundless Sea before that," Leon stated.
Given the powerful sea monsters in the Radiant Heaven Realmship, it was clear that the threat posed by sea monsters wasn't inferior to vengeful spirits.
"The sea monsters aren't weak, and their numbers are numerous. So if we want to reclaim Extreme Misty Forest to open up the north and gain access to the sea, we will eventually need to secure the beach anyway."
"Furthermore, it'll be a risk if we don't understand any other underlying dangers in the forest before sending our people to work," Leon added.
"You made a good point," Elizabeth nodded in agreement. Then, she smiled and said, "Now that you mentioned the north, Mother is also interested in tagging along to take a look. Mother is very curious how the sea looks."
"Me too! I'm also curious about the sea!" Faelyn chimed in.
However, Leon glanced at her oddly and asked, "You've never seen the sea despite the Great Forest neighboring it?"
"No," Faelyn shook her head and said, "North of the Great Forest is a very steep cliff. Even if the sea neighbors the forest, the view isn't all that amazing due to the high land—or so I've heard. However, I've never actually seen it myself."
"I didn't get many chances to play outside the tribe, let alone go so far as the forest outskirts. So I have always been curious about the sea," Faelyn stated.
"I see," Leon uttered with understanding.
"Since Mother and Sister Faelyn wants to go, we don't want to miss out on this trip either," Aria stated with a smile after catching Leon's glance.
"Right," Darlene nodded before inserting her opinion, "There was no point in us returning alone. Instead, it would be more enjoyable if we all went to take a look at the beach together."
Leon smiled wryly after hearing that.
The original purpose of their journey had been closer to a rescue mission. But now, it was being treated like some holiday sightseeing tour.
Lynne felt slightly jealous that she couldn't follow them right away. Even so, she understood that they weren't exactly heading to the north to play.
Furthermore, her responsibility was more important.
"Then… I'll head off first to deal with the vengeful spirits," Lynne informed the group.
However, Elizabeth and the three ladies didn't let Lynne leave right away—not after they expended the effort to find her.
After they grabbed her and pulled her away from Leon, they had a ladies-only talk.
Only after they finished confirming Lynne's cultivation and congratulating her with surprises did they finally let her go.
Although it wasn't obvious, it was also their way of cheering up Lynne, and it worked surprisingly well. At the very least, Lynne didn't feel so bad anymore.
"I don't think it's necessary to say this now that you have become a Celestial, but be careful," Leon said to Lynne shortly after.
"Mm!" Lynne nodded with a brighter smile.
Shortly after, the group separated. Leon led the others and headed past the ice mountain to see the north.
Lynne watched them disappear into the distance before she finally shifted her attention to the southern half of Extreme Misty Forest.
It was also at that moment that the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress felt like she could breathe again—not that she had a physical body of her own.
'You're heading the wrong way, child,' the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress suddenly informed her disciple, causing Lynne to pause her steps with confusion.
"What do you mean, Master? The vengeful spirits are this way," Lynne said with doubt.
'Of course, they are,' the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress didn't deny it. 'But are you planning to eliminate the vengeful spirits one at a time, or do you want to slay them all at once?'
"If I can slay them all at once, that would be great. But is that possible?" Lynne asked.
'It seems that even though you have reached the Celestial Warrior Realm, you still don't understand the extent of your power. No matter. Master will teach you what a Celestial Warrior can do,' the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress stated.
'Right now, your Celestial Ice Spark holds a lot of icy energy from the Celestial Lord-level Celestial Ice Spark you refined. However, this icy energy also contains your comprehension of the Ice Law. So if you use it, it won't reduce your cultivation. However, it will slow down your advancement.'
'Furthermore, your power won't be much stronger than a Half-step Celestial if you use the icy energy stored inside your Celestial Ice Spark as is.
"Then what should I do, Master?" Lynne asked with surprise.
'Have you already forgotten the new energy coursing through your newly-reformed celestial body? Your comprehension of the Ice Law is your weapon. But without celestial energy to fuel it, you won't be able to demonstrate the true power of a Celestial Warrior.'
After listening to the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress, Lynne came to a realization. But at the same time, she was puzzled by another matter.
"That's rather strange, Master. I realized the celestial energy in my body is different from the icy energy stored in the Celestial Ice Spark. But shouldn't the Celestial Ice Spark be full of celestial energy?" Lynne wondered.
'Celestial energy is rather special. It's a type of solar energy that comes from the stars. But only Celestials can refine it into celestial energy. But even if Celestials can refine celestial energy, not all Celestials can store it. At least, it's not possible for the lower-level Celestials,' the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress patiently explained.
'The icy energy in your Celestial Ice Spark is called celestial ice energy. It's the transformed state of celestial energy. However, what we need is the original state of celestial energy. That's why you need to refine more celestial energy, child.'
'The current celestial energy being generated by your celestial body isn't enough for what we are about to do,' the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress stated.
