Chapter 177: Amber’s Spirit Opening
On instinct, Amber felt every joint in her body lock up. This voice didn’t contain overwhelming power or, really, a slight trace of Aura.
But the sensation she felt was almost ethereal in a sense.
Like she was a moth drawn to a flame, Amber slowly raised her head. As she gazed forward, complete shock engulfed her face.
Standing, no, just floating dozens of feet away from her was a being she had never seen before.
This person has a human appearance but looks too translucent, almost like he was see-through. And at the bottom half of his person was no legs but something that reassemble a tail.
Amber had no idea what to describe this thing. She read about numerous races and unique beasts in the World, but nothing ever came as special as this one.
“This….just who….?” Amber’s disbelief voice slowly escaped her lips. Her gaze never once went off from the translucent man.
Seeing such overwhelming shock plastering her, Cain and even Kali were amused.
Chuckling a bit, Cain explained, “Haha. Right, you wouldn’t know about this. This is Old Nox Soul. Somebody who managed to transcend past death with just his very soul.”
“Wha??” Amber’s eyes nearly split open wide.
Her tone nearly squealed, saying, “Is-is something like that even possible?! No, just how is something like this possible? I know the saying. Cultivators are on the path of defying the Will of the Heaven. The order that governs the universe. But…defying death…this seems a little bit much.”
Naturally, for all Lower Realm beings, death is seen as the final end. No matter if a cultivator reached the absolute peak, they wouldn’t be able to escape the jaws of death or time.
That is if that cultivator decides to spend the rest of their lifespan trapped on the continent.
If they chose to ascend, perhaps the higher plane of existence may have heaven-shattering secrets about death.
‘And if he says this….!’ As her thoughts came upon this, Amber’s eyes brightly lit up.
She hurriedly asked, “Senior Old Nox Soul, are you perhaps from the Plane of a higher existence?”
Throughout the entire duration of them arriving here, Old Nox Soul has been strangely quiet. His intent gaze stays squarely focused on the lower half of Amber’s stomach.
For this whole time, his godly senses carefully inspected every inch of Amber’s body. And as he heard her question, Old Nox Soul slowly nodded.
“Indeed I am. To be with these two, you are a fortunate young one. Now then, don’t resist this Energy. I shall awaken your Spirit Core.”
“Ah? R-really?”
Amber’s face sparkled like a brilliant star. All at once, an overflow of joyous anticipation coursed throughout her entire being!
Finally, Spirit Energy.
The only facet of power she ever yearned for but could never achieve, becoming something that’s just a distant dream to her.
However now, everything will change. And she barely had to put in any effort.
As Amber nearly shook in joy, Old Nox Soul slowly raised a finger and amassed swirls of pure Spirit Energy.
In that moment, the entire blue-colored dimension shined even brighter!
Fresh billowing waves of Spirit Energy gushed throughout the entire space, causing the Spirit Aura permeating the atmosphere to significantly enhance.
In this instant, Cain and Kali quickly closed their eyes, falling into a state of absolute focus.
At the same time, they spread their Soul Energy out, connecting to the fresh waves of Spirit Energy.
Now that the sibling duo is highly proficient with at least seeking out Spirit Energy to absorb, they could use this situation to their full advantage.
Cain and Kali spared no expense. Using Soul Energy, they pulled the fresh wave of Spirit Energies into their internal bodies, absorbing it directly into their Spirit Cores.
Within just seconds of absorbing Spirit Energy here, Cain and Kali nearly leaped in joy. The amount they could absorb in here far surpassed any environment on the outside!
If Cain had to estimate it, his absorption rate went up by at least five times. Furthermore, he could feel his Mental Psyche continually improving.
The fresh Spirit Energies here exuded an enlightening perception of Energies properties.
It was similar to Pills that can forcefully recreate Martial Comprehension properties to artificially enhance one’s Mental Psyche.
But this wave of fresh Spirit Energy holds none of that crippling negatives.
After all, this was Spirit Energy that came from a God-Class World Spirit Master! His perception of Spirit Energy evolved far beyond the limits of all Mortals, genuinely entering the Divinity way of power.
The Divinity Spirit Energy simply held no impure qualities.
Any that is tainted by the Mortal way simply doesn’t exist, allowing Cain and Kali to experience a small bout of rapid growth!
At the same time, a green ball of Spirit Energy had swiftly formed right above Old Nox Soul’s translucent fingertip.
With a casual flick, he sent the Spirit Energy ball straight into the lower half of Amber’s stomach, just inches to the side of her dantian.
Incredible Energy like no other instantly coursed throughout Amber’s internal body. Her smile joyously bloomed as she didn’t resist a single bit. She let herself basked in this otherworldly sensation.
Promptly, she felt that this Energy was far different from Qi.
Whereas Qi emitted profound traits of power that seemed like a fantastical illusion and has the mysterious depth of the very World she inhabits.
Spirit Energy exuded something akin to ethereal. It was like she was entering into a new reality that holds countless mysterious properties. To describe it even in complex words wouldn’t do it justice at all.
In short, Amber almost felt utterly enlightened.
Seconds passed, and Amber’s internal body was rapidly changing. Now, right beside her dantain, a new independent space has smoothly opened.
Previously this space was in a state similar to that of a deep slumber. For those that have been born with an affinity with Spirit Energy, this would be their Spirit’s Space!
Similar to a cultivator’s dantian, this would be an independent space in which a person can store Spirit Energy and strengthen it.
Opening a Spirit’s Space requires a person to grasp Spirit Energy entirely on their own, absorb it into their bodies and forcefully open it.
Or, they could have a World Spirit Master expert forcefully open it for them.
And with Old Nox Soul interference, Amber’s Spirit’s space had finally awoken!
Rapidly, luminous green lights began to fill Amber’s internal body as her Spirit Core formed.
Simultaneously, on the outside, the fresh waves of Spirit Energy soared absorbed straight into Amber’s developing Spirit Core.
As the process was nearing completion, Old Nox Soul decided to peer into the limits of Amber’s Spirit Core.
Admittedly, he was genuinely intrigued because of the simple fact Cain and Kali brought her along. Since Cain has rainbow color limitless talent and Kali has Void Color talent, it’s highly possible this young girl may just be monstrous in her own right.
Concentrating on Amber’s Spirit Core, Old Nox Soul waited until it was right at the cusps of forming.
Then, in just a few more seconds, a massive Spirit Might explode from Amber’s body!
‘Hu~!’
Faint Spiritual black lights discharged and coiled around Amber, similar to a snake. Her Spiritual Might was indeed intense, effectively spreading to the farthest region of Old Nox Soul’s dimension.
However, despite the Spiritual Might intensity, neither Cain nor Kali largely reacted.
The sibling duo merely arched a brow, feeling a slight instinctive quiver come from their Spirit Core.
But with just revolving a small portion of Spirit Energy, the sibling duo ceased the Spiritual Might from affecting them. Immediately after, they continued to absorb the fresh Spirit Energy.
Naturally, they know that Amber will awaken her Spirit Core. And they couldn’t let that interrupt this great opportunity.
Within just moments, Cain and Kali sensed they were nearing the peak of Middle Layer green Spirit Energy!
Because their perception of Spirit Energy already reached a limit point of 1st class, the sibling duo simply didn’t encounter any bottleneck. They could just continue to frantically absorb Spirit Energy without care.
And while the sibling duo wasn’t shocked, Old Nox Soul’s placid expression shifted. He was genuinely surprised and impressed.
It wasn’t to the point of being overwhelmed like with the sibling duo but far surpassed any he awoke before.
‘King Class Spirit Talent! Compared to them, this young girl is truly someone from the Lower Realm. But she does have some particular oddities about her. That bloodline coursing in her is incredibly pure. Perhaps even purer than the ones I met in the Low God Galaxy. Not only that, but her Spirit Core has the faint premonition to continually evolve. I see….she is one of these types.’
As Old Nox Soul finished his evaluation, Amber’s Spirit Core had 100% formed!
For a brief moment, a beautiful burst of green sparkled the entirety of Amber’s internal body and her outside form.
She looked similar to a cocoon forming to undergo a permeant transformation into a new state of being. Anybody who was to gaze upon it would find it quite beautiful.
At this moment, Old Nox Soul slowly withdrew her finger, cutting off the fresh wave of Spirit Energy.
“Hm?”
With no more fresh Spirit Energy, Cain and Kali snapped their eyes open. A slight trace of disappointment colored their faces.
“Tch. Just a little bit more, I was sure of reaching the Late Layer. How unlucky…” Kali quietly sighed while clenching her fist.
Even though it’s just a fine line away from another breakthrough, Kali honestly had no idea how much that time it would take. At the very least, it could even be a couple of weeks before breaking through!
This experience genuinely enlightened Kali on just how terrible the Spirit Energy environment is on this Lower Planet.
If she had something free of use, just like the Old Nox Soul dimension, she would be able to directly shatter the tight chains limiting Spirit Energy.
But alas, she simply had to be satisfied with what she was able to receive.
As Kali lamented to herself, Cain paid close attention to the Spirit cocoon wrapping around Amber’s form.
He felt slight regret that he couldn’t breakthrough, but it didn’t get to him much. After all his experiences, he has long since adopted the ways of laboriously and slowly cultivating power.
To reach absolute perfection in everything, this was their only route to follow upon.
