…
Later that night, stars filled the night sky and the moon was bright and clear.
East of the Dead Swamp, in the branches of a towering old tree.
Leylin was walking leisurely as he gazed at the starry sky, strange lights flickering in his eyes.
[Beep! Unusual energy large quantity detected entering host body via Star Martial Spirit. Expel or not]
Inside the strange space, the starlight beam came down from the sky and landed on Leylin, directly sending him out of the God Area and to this place.
Once he landed here, just by looking at the poisonous fog not too far away and the swamps that were everywhere, he concluded it’s the outer perimeter of the Dead Swamp.
“No!” Leylin checked his chest, witnessing that the specks of starlight on his heart, there seemed to be nothing else unusual on his body. The only change he could feel was faint starlight drifting down from the sky and slowly gathering at his heart.
The stars all twinkled from the sky, Leylin’s heart seemed to have several times his current vitality, but his pulse rate became slower instead.
The power of the stars in the sparkling night sky flew down from the vast starry sky and flowed into his body and into his head.
“It’s truly a remarkable Martial Spirit to enable one to acquire power for a satellite far away celestial bodies. I wonder do the different plants and star also posses a separate consciousness here or not. Grace Mainland showed no response to my invasion, it can be a seperate secluded case but I must see for myself. This World have people who are at Morning Star Realm or maybe above too so, it’s rather odd to not find an active and aggressive World Will.” Leylin could very clearly feel that the stars in the sky let out bits of faint star power, but the star power couldn’t be seen by the naked eye.
The star power that did not form into starlight spots were a hundred times weaker, so you couldn’t see their light, but they truly did exist.
He didn’t need to do anything, not even focusing his mind. Whether it be day or night, his heart would endlessly absorb the star power without the need for him to focus on gathering it.
Raising his head, he looked into the sky at the countless stars spread above. He could feel the faint star power flowing out from the stars.
“Without knowing of the way of utilizing this power from Three Gods Sect, it would only keep on accumulating and with my extremely pure and refined meridians and Profound Qi, it would be further used to strengthen the Star power. Lets see what wonders I can expect from a <Scared Level Martial Spirit> ” Leylin and shook his head, he closed his eyes to feel around.
According to its power and number of evolutions, Martial Spirits can be divided into Mortal, Profound, Spirit, Sacred and God Levels. For example, the three Martial Spirits; the Sun, Moon and Star, of the Three Gods Sect are all Sacred Level Martial Spirits. The Reincarnation Martial Spirit of my Omega Family is also a Sacred Level Martial Spirit. Petrification Martial Spirit is a Spirit Level Martial Spirit.
Sacred Level Martial Spirits are the highest Martial Spirits in the Endless Sea. The families who own Sacred Level Martial Spirits are all influential powers in the Endless Sea.
The Three Gods Sect was a huge power in the Endless Sea and had numerous disciples. The core disciples had the ability to absorb the energy from the sun, moon and stars from their Martial Spirits.
The Three Gods Sect had three Martial Spirits; the Sun Martial Spirit, the Moon Martial Spirit and the Star Martial Spirit.
The three Martial Spirits could absorb the light from the sun, moon and stars. Warriors who possessed the Star Martial Spirit were the rarest, thus the Star Martial Spirit was considered to be the most powerful one among the three.
There was only one sun and one moon in the Grace Mainland, while the stars were numerous. Their combined power was much stronger than the sun or the moon.
The Three Gods Sect was very mysterious and their core disciples were not born with Martial Spirit, but obtained it after being submerged for three years in three separate ponds; the sun pond, the moon pond and the star pond.
The sun, moon and star ponds were the most mysterious places in the Three Gods Sect. No outsiders knew exactly where they were. Even many disciples of the Three Gods Sect didn’t know their exact position.
The elders of the Three Gods Sect would go to the islands in the Endless Sea every ten years or so to collect talented infants and take them to the three mysterious ponds.
The three ponds had a weird power, as many infants would soon die after being placed in them. Generally, less than twenty infants would survive out of one thousand after three years in the ponds.
Those who survived would inherit the power to absorb power from the sun, moon or stars, and thus were authorized to be a core disciple of the Three Gods Sect. They were then sent to the major islands and taught all sorts of martial skills by various teachers.
Although those infants who survived the three ponds all had a Martial Spirit, their abilities were varied.
As for the Sun Martial Spirit, some infants could absorb ten times the amount of power from the sun compared to others.
These infants would develop their Martial Spirit several times and they could absorb the sun’s power much faster, some could even produce sun fire from it.
Some infants took too much time to absorb the power of sun and their Martial Spirit wouldn’t develop even if their realm were to advance.
Although the Sun, Moon and Star Martial Spirits were all Sacred Level Martial Spirits, they couldn’t be completely mastered if they were not developed.
Almost none of the infants from the three ponds could develop the three Martial Spirits to their highest potential. Even if their realm advanced, their Martial Spirits would stop improving over time.
Only a few infants from the three ponds showed great talent each century. These infants were called a God Child! These God Children were promising talents and were candidates to become the next the Sun, Moon or Star God!
A God Child was so rare that they would be considered as the most precious treasure of the Three Gods Sect and the core sect elders would train them personally. Once they were chosen to take the mantle of one of the three Gods, the rest would become core elders of the Three Gods Sect, dealing with all sorts of matters.
Most of the God Children came from the three ponds, while some of them were found in another way.
Those who got an Original Seal of a Martial Spirit was also considered to be a God Child.
This type of God Child were the most promising to become one of the three Gods, since they got their Martial Spirit from one of the previous Gods.
Therefore, the God Children who inherited their Martial Spirit via an Original Seal were highly treasured. People like Leylin once found would immediately become the most core and important part of the sect, nurtured with utmost care and attention.
Leylin looked around and realizing that no one else was around and the fact that he is still extremely close to be under the perception of Sky Realm Warriors, he started heading towards the east side of the Dead Swamp.
The east was the direction towards the Endless Sea!
…..
“Still nothing!”
South of the Dead Swamp, Elrod’s face was grim, and his expression was dark and scary.
Not far away, the Lord of the Dark World, Wulfric, was also murderous looking, “These past two days, we’ve already used various means to recover them. Could it be that the they won’t return to consciousness?”
“Won’t woke up…” Elrod frowned, and said coldly, “It seems that we have to change our method, I’ll just rip whatever secret is hiding inside these two.”
“Stop!” Ben frowned as he stepped forward to slow down the movements of the two, not only Wulfric and Elrod even Zack was impatient and wanted to get to the bottom of the matter as soon as possible.
“What is it, Ben Parks? Why are you stopping us?” Elrod asked irritated and enraged. Each passing day only further agitated him for not finding Kyle.
“I have a way to probably grant them wakefulness but, it would be very detrimental for their potential and future.” Ben said as he laid down his idea with hesitation, he didn’t want to employ any malicious technique against these two especially when he can feel that they would soon wake up but now with their life on the line, he doesn’t have any other ways. It’s best to be alive with mediocrity than to be fertilizer for Yin Field.
“Ben Parks, these two are the members of my Crystal family and I give full consent for whatever happens.” Elrod looked enraged knowing that Ben was withholding his hands but ultimately he could only step back and prompt him to use his method.
Wulfric and Zack stayed silent not bothering to step in and give any intake, they were more interested in knowing the secrets of the God Area from the two.
Ben looked hesitant for a mere second but gazing into Elrod cold and cruel gaze towards the two unconscious ladies, he agreed.
“This method I am going to use is an incomplete martial skill, I can use it to pulse my consciousness into them and jumpstart their mental regressive state. This can probably forcefully break whatever is binding them and disabling them from awakening, but obviously it would come with the price of severe backlash.”
Then, cloudy mist screeched from his sleeves and suddenly flew out and went towards the two of them.
“Wake up!” An odd ancient voice reverberated around the two unconscious girls as blood poured out of their facial orifice.
*cough*
The two jerked as they body shuddered and Mable Demi slowly opened their eyes with a lull look in their eyes.
“Mable, where is Kyle?” With Polar Ice Flame in his eyes, Elrod looked to Mable in a rage. he didn’t give them a single chance to recover, Ben didn’t try to protect them he has already done enough and he’s only done even this much because of his favorite disciple Neelam who pitied them.
“I, I…” Mable looked dumb under his terrifying eyes, unable to speak.
Elrod was impatient and his eyes glittered. He stretched out his hand to her and a bunch of blue light flew into her body.
“Where is my Kyle?” Elrod asked again.
As soon as Mable was struck by his blue light, her face turned dumb and she lost consciousness as she whispered, “He was killed by Berkan Lenoir.”
“Berkan Lenoir!” Elrod howled with all his veins protruding.
He treasured Kyle, who had a twin Martial Spirit, as the heir of Crystal family and placed high hopes on him. Now that he had been killed, Elrod was furious.
Bunches of Polar Ice Flames flew out like clouds and tried to cover the area.
“I will shatter Lenoir family as well!” Elrod bellowed like a beast but couldn’t vent because the Lenoir family have already left to look for Leylin.
“Hey that girl named Mable, have you seen my disciple David?” The Lord of the Dark World asked Mable in a weird voice.
“He was killed by Berkan too. All were killed. All…” Mable was still unconscious, not knowing what she was talking about.
Wulfric’s face turned pale, and with the Nine Angry Flame in his eyes, he flew up into the sky and dashed out of the Dead Swamp.
A strong will was suddenly released from his body which expanded in all directions.
He had kind of figured out where Leylin was.
