The space was quiet, the small cave sheltered a lonely figure, the ring on the teenager’s hand flashed, revealing the silhouette of a tiny child.
The child looked at the teenager, looked around, then flew to hug the black sword piece…
1 month later.
Bao Ngoc woke up from a long sleep, her body had developed from the shape of a 1 year old baby into the shape of a lovely, round-eyed, long-haired 6 year old girl, her body had also grown, now about 10 cm tall.
Bao Ngoc tried to wake Duong up, but he was motionless as if lifeless. She looked at the black sword again, trying to pull it out of Duong’s chest but couldn’t.
Bao Ngoc puffed her pretty cheeks out in anger, she floated in the air, her tiny arms spread out, her eyes closed…
A ball of white light as clear as jade appeared from Bao Ngoc’s left chest and gradually grew larger, enveloping her body. Then the ball disappeared, and from behind Bao Ngoc appeared a pair of sparkling white wings.
Bao Ngoc landed on Duong’s chest, once again grabbed the sword, pulled it out…
…
Another month passed.
“Papa! I just captured a very powerful spirit beast. It can even use poison magic! How do I make it evolve?”
Tiny Bao Ngoc, wearing a roughly sewn dress made from Duong’s shirt fabric, held in her hand a string woven from dry straw, the other end of which was tied to the leg of a toad that looked even bigger than she was.
“Your spirit beast head! It’s a toad, let it go or your face will be covered in warts!” Duong was sitting in the cave and shouted.
“Ai da… Papa won’t let me keep you anymore… Well, try to cultivate yourself, be good…” Bao Ngoc pouted, walked over to pat the toad’s head, then grabbed the rope and dragged it away from the cave.
Duong sighed and continued to practice his cultivation method. Through Google, he learned that the Great Priest of the Uterus, Hai Ha, had brought him here to sacrifice, but Google did not know who he was sacrificing to.
Since Duong was saved from the seal by Bao Ngoc, no one had ever come to check. Perhaps Hai Ha had too much confidence in the sealing ability of the Nghich Thien sword fragment so he didn’t bother to look. Duong didn’t know that in addition to the above reason, Hai Ha was also struggling to avoid the search campaign of Sai Thanh.
…
This spiritual realm is very large, the size of several provinces in Vietnam combined, there is a whole forest and a stream so Duong does not have to worry about food (he often seduces Bao Ngoc that rabbits, chickens and all kinds are spiritual beasts and can be caught and trained to evolve like Pokemon, making her enthusiastically go capture them to fill his stomach), in addition there is a dense and abundant amount of spiritual energy. This amount of spiritual energy is not completely produced by the spiritual realm, so you should know, to break through to the Lord level, Hai Ha must store a huge amount of spiritual energy in his soul to avoid running out of spiritual energy while breaking through. During the process of breaking through, this excess amount of spiritual wings is dispersed around, causing the spiritual energy in the spiritual realm to become abundant and dense.
After waking up, in addition to discovering a larger Bao Ngoc and a piece of the Reverse Heaven Sword, Duong also discovered that the Devouring Heaven and Earth technique had increased its absorption ability by a portion. Combined with the enormous amount of spiritual energy here, he quickly reached the peak of a level 10 Spiritualist, and also accumulated a large amount of spiritual energy for the breakthrough process.
There is a certain failure rate for level breakthroughs. The higher the level, the higher the failure rate. From Spirit Warrior to Spirit Captain, the failure rate is about 10 percent. If you fail, you will have to spend several months accumulating spiritual power and waiting for luck next time.
As night fell, a gloomy aura gradually spread around Duong, causing the lights to gradually dim. Duong’s already large soul began to show signs of expansion. The spiritual energy around Duong fluctuated strongly, then gradually calmed down again.
Duong opened his eyes, he had successfully broken through to Linh Uy, and immediately began to explore the new things of this level.
At the Spirit Warrior level, the soul tends to condense, while at the Spirit Captain level, the soul tends to expand. This is not to make the condensed soul expand again, but to cultivate the soul to grow larger while still maintaining the same density, allowing the spiritual energy to be more abundant without decreasing its power.
In addition to the soul development, the Spirit Captain also has 2 new abilities that surpass the Spirit Warrior rank, which are Attribute and Release.
In fact, at the Spirit Warrior level, it is already possible to put attributes into spiritual power, but this will consume spiritual power faster and will not be effective, because to use the attribute, the realm of releasing spiritual power must be higher. For example, a Spirit Warrior who has absorbed the Fire attribute can only use spiritual power to heat up his arm, not enough to iron his pants before the spiritual power is exhausted, but a Fire attribute Spirit Commander can practice releasing spiritual power to create a real flame.
Duong raised his hand to try to release spiritual power. Spiritual power radiated from his hand, causing the light to distort and create twisted lines in the air. However, the uncontrolled spiritual power dispersed very quickly, so Duong quickly withdrew his hand.
“Next is the attribute…” Duong thought to himself. Spiritual power attribute is the combination of elements into spiritual power, allowing the spiritual power to possess the unique abilities of that element.
Depending on the innate ability, the soul can tolerate one or several different elements, but it is very difficult to tolerate opposing elements such as Fire – Water, Thunder – Wind. To determine which element the soul is most compatible with, one only needs to release spiritual energy into an evaluation machine, but Duong did not have that kind of machine at the moment, so he had to try it.
As for the way to absorb attributes, it is not jumping into fire or climbing on the roof waiting for lightning to strike, but absorbing elements from minerals or from the soul. The soul is a crystal that contains the elemental force of the spirit beast, for example, a Thunder spirit beast will have a Thunder spirit beast soul, a Fire spirit beast will have a Fire spirit beast soul. In addition to being used as a material to absorb into the soul, the soul is also used in many ways to create various types of Treasures with attributes.
The soul is divided into many levels, but this level is only important for alchemy, and in absorbing into the soul, the level only helps to increase the speed of element formation in the spirit force, because the element in the soul is only a conductor to help the soul identify the attribute, then the absorbing person uses the method to convert the spirit force into that attribute.
There were a few level 2 soul stones and a level 4 Thunder Soul Stone left in Duong’s ring, so Duong took out the level 4 Thunder Soul Stone to try to use the method of absorbing the Thunder attribute into his spiritual power.
The crystal in Duong’s hand shot out tiny sparks of electricity and then gradually melted into his hand. It took Duong 5 minutes to completely absorb the soul crystal, then it took another half a day for him to absorb the Lightning attribute into his soul…
After successfully absorbing the Lightning attribute into his soul, Duong continued to live his days imprisoned in the spirit realm. The boring days passed as Duong gradually got used to his new situation, practicing martial arts during the day and practicing martial arts at night, waiting for a chance to escape.
