Chapter 147. Stablizing the strength
Chapter 147. Stablizing the strength
Only Nox and Jin remained.
Jin looked at Nox and spoke in a soft tone,
"How much time has passed since I entered the cultivation?"
Nox paused for a moment before he replied,
"12 days. You took one week for the Soul Lord breaking and five days for the Spiritual Tribulation."
Jin became silent. After Nox hugged him just now, the atmosphere became awkward between them after that. Finally, Nox opened his mouth and asked,
"Can you tell me the insights because I want to follow the same path as you. I want to stay with you.
I know that you are sensitive to emotions and it would be strange if you didn’t discover them after spending so much time with me. But I am not going to burden you with that.
I know your reasons and I also know that my emotions towards you are not to the extent of Aion . But I will still wait for you and let me tell you one thing.
You better open your heart for me and the third spiritual palace holder. Because it is inevitable ."
Jin ’s mind went blank when he heard that. He became silent. He looked at Nox and spoke,
"I will tell you later. Right now, I need to stabilize my realm."
With that, he didn’t wait for Nox’s response and rushed into the house and sealed it. Nox looked at Jin and he sighed. He muttered in a soft tone,
"I can’t be avoided no matter what. That old fella was already prepared for that. I still don’t understand the reason for taking a liking to you but it seems that this can’t be avoided.
But I will complete my responsibilities from my side."
With that Nox also departed. Jin remained silent till he entered the room. He recalled the time when Aion told him to seal his other spiritual palaces because he was jealous.
Jin didn’t understand the meaning at that time. But now he understood what was the meaning behind those words.
He spoke to the empty space in from him,
"So, he was talking about this and despite that, he still didn’t stop me from making contact with Nox. Just what was going through his mind.
I can’t even talk to him now."
After this, Jin didn’t dwell on these things anymore. He was like that from childhood. He can’t spend his time on thinking about the things that are not easily solvable.
He took a meditative position and closed his eyes. Right now, stabilizing his realm is the most important thing for him and he can’t waste time.
The sigil and the soul mark appeared on his forehead and he used them in a sequential way. Both were easily accessed if used in a sequence but when he tried to use them simultaneously, he couldn’t do that.
He knows what he needs for that. His grandfather already gave him directions.
Jin also focused on his soul mark. To enter in the high Soul Lord realm, there is a need to perfectly comprehend three nodes and then choose a perfect law for the next realm.
Jin used his Soul Lord sense to comprehend the mark and he discovered that there was time as the authoritative node followed by space and harmony. Jin was stunned when he saw this.
He then remembered that he only focused on the time and space but this harmony must be coming from Nox. But he didn’t understand how.
Jin sighed and then he paused for a moment. He quickly checked his spiritual palace and indeed there are changes.
The previous island on the sea of consciousness is now transforming into a big domain but it is not a domain.
It was like a field surrounding the island had transformed and they were covered by a strange rhythm.
Jin recognised them immediately. They are nodes and not just that, they are flowing throughout the air.
These are the nodes condensed by Jin himself based on his comprehension of the nodes of time and space. As Jin looked at the changes, the island where Aion resides was covered by a time mist.
In the time mist, Aion was breathing in and out in a rhythm. Jin saw this and he sighed. He then looked at the island where Nox resides.
This place is also covered with nodes but they were only one which are harmony, stability.
Jin saw these changes and he left his sea of consciousness. He then continued to sense the sublimation of his soul power and it was indeed of a higher quality than his soul power.
The soul power is now sublimated and it is flowing throughout his body. After checking the soul power realm and stabilizing it, he focused on the spiritual transformation.
But there were no nodes in his spiritual energy. Jin can still sense that his spiritual energy has sublimated and not to the universe but to himself and this is the reason that his spiritual energy is of higher grade.
He observed the changes in the spiritual energy and then he activated the sigil on his forehead.
The moment the sigil appeared, everything around him became quiet and he could sense the changes in the environment more clearly.
What Jin didn’t understand was,
"Where are my soul avatar and soul born gone?"
But there is no one to answer him. He doesn’t need that answer because he knew that the soul mark and sigil are another form of soul avatar and soul born respectively.
He sighed and then he focused on the other things. He also understood one thing now.
"Grandpa told me that once I enter the Lord realm, I will understand more about techniques. Now I know it.
The Soul Lord expert’s every move is like the moving with the laws for the low-level cultivators and this is also the reason for many cultivation techniques to be present."
With that he closed his eyes and he focused on his own cultivation techniques. He wanted to work on every application he can because they will be the foundation for his future moves.
He felt that his previous attacks were child play in front of this realm even though they were taught to him by his grandfather and Aion .
After doing all that, he established his realm and two days later he emerged. He came and looked at the villagers and the progress they made. On their way, he also encountered Nox. Both of them remained silent for some time.
Jin broke the silence.
"I am at high Soul Lord realm and mid Spiritual Transformation."
Nox was surprised when he heard that. He looked at Jin . Jin continued,
"The nodes that I comprehended are time, space and harmony. I didn’t focus on harmony at all because I had no direction but it was done on its own.
The spiritual transformation realm is also strange. There are no nodes in this but I can sense them and use them.
Grandpa said that he is the law of devouring and devouring law is him. I just followed that and broke into the spiritual transformation realm."
