Chapter 582 - Shock.
Chapter 582 – Shock.
While Athan, Tiana, and others are training, Lily has started her journey and went through her awakening ceremony.
In a large hall, two middle-aged women were standing around the central platform. There was a two-meter tall white crystal on the central platform, and Lily was standing right beside this crystal.
"Lily, touch the crystal and close your eyes. Don't think about anything and just create a blank state in your mind with nothing with darkness,"
Lily nodded as she touched the crystal and closed her before completely blanking her mind.
With her eyes closed and empty mind, she could see nothing but darkness. However, the crystal outside started shining as it became colorful and released colorful wisps.
Inside Lily's mind, she also saw colorful wisps in the darkness.
Seeing this scene, the middle-aged women were dumbfounded. They looked at the crystal with wide eyes, "Fire, earth, water, wind, lightning, light, darkness,…space, and time."
"T-this….we are not dreaming, right?"
The two women looked at each other as they exchanged shocked glances and hurridly informed their palace master of Dream Palace.
On the other hand, those colorful wisps transformed as they created nine paths without any visible end inside Lily's head.
"Lily, you can now open your eyes."
Lily opened her eyes and saw colorful sparkling wisps flying on top of her, making her surprised a bit.
"Ahem…so Lily, what did you see in your mind?"
Lily looked at the two women and said, "I first saw colorful wisps before they turned into nine paths without end."
The two women nodded as their eyes showed excitement, "Those nine paths are your spiritual paths. It's a real shock that you awakened all primal elements paths."
"What does that mean?"Lily asked with confusion as she didn't know much about all this stuff.
"That means that…you will become very powerful in the future."
"Ohh…How powerful?"Lily asked in curiosity. She wanted to know how powerful she would become.
Hearing her question, the two women looked at each other and smiled wryly, "We can't gauge that because the future is uncertain, but what we know is that…you will definitely become the most powerful person we have ever seen. You also have that divine physique that grants you immense strength, and we don't know its upper limit as well."
"I see…" Despite not getting a clear answer, Lily nodded and asked, "So? what do we do now?"
"Now, you have to enter meditation and sense the spiritual atmosphere to absorb the spirit energy and do other things as well to start your cultivation, but that can wait for now since our palace master Huarin is coming here."
Right as she finished speaking, a beautiful woman with dreamy air about her appeared. She wore light blue and white dress with long sleeves and looked very elegant.
"Palace Master…"
Both middle-aged women bowed, and Lily became a bit nervous seeing this woman with a mysterious air around her as she also bowed.
"At ease," Huarin spoke with a smile as she flew in front of Lily and stretched her hand towards her, "Grab my hand."
Lily nodded with slight hesitation as she touched the white hand of the beautiful woman in front of her.
Huarin closed her eyes after touching Lily's hand before opening them after three seconds. But now, her eyes contained shock.
Huarin looked at Lily with a gentle smile and asked, "Lily, my name is Huarin Lucid and…I formally want to ask you if you want to become my disciple."
"disciple?" Lily repeated with a surprised voice before thinking, 'So I will become her student of a sort if I become her disciple. Hmmm, well, since I am new here and I also need to learn a lot of things, It is better to have a teacher teach me about it.'
"Master," Lily spoke as she said with a smile towards Huarin.
Huarin chuckled in joy as she nodded, "Good. I heard that you don't remember anything? Well, no need worry because I will help you become powerful, and when you unlock your true mind, you will remember everything that you have forgotten."
Hearing that, Lily internally felt bad because she hadn't forgotten anything. However, it was indeed true that she didn't know anything about this world.
…
In just one year, Lily made tremendous progress in her cultivation and unlocked her consciousness region. She also comprehended the initial intents of all those elements of her spiritual path and shocked everyone.
Everyone as in, only Huarin and some of her close aids because she had kept Lily's existence a secret from the rest of the world. She was going to do an official grand ceremony and announce the matter of her taking a true disciple, but when she saw how talented Lily was and her absurd speed of cultivation, she decided not to disclose Lily's existence.
Today, as Lily unlocked her consciousness region, she saw a mysterious whirlpool in it and when looked inside the whirlpool, she saw a door.
Unlike Athan's situation, she easily opened the door because her situation was different. In Athan's case, Mimi's father had yet to take full control of the Ark of Exordium since it was not even activated. But in Lily's case, since Mimi's father could control Ark fully, he made plenty of preparation and made it easy for Lily to progress by making Exordium Adapta physique for her which has the power to adapt to all kinds of powers and grows stronger constantly.
Lily opened the door with her thought and she arrived in a magical world, Ark's space. Right when that happened, her soul that was inside this Ark's space fully awakened as well and she also got the message from Mimi's parents before they died.
"Mimi…," Lily muttered as she walked towards the king-sized bed and saw a girl sleeping on it. The girl looked like she was sixteen years old and had gemstone on her forehead. Beside her, a white cat with slight black fur was sleeping as well.
Lily also sensed the presence of other beings behind the mountain range.
At this moment, the cat and Mimi opened their eyes.
