Chapter 481: Familiar
Feeling fear, Sage was frozen for a few moments. He had to reassure himself a few times that they were inside the Universe Ring, and the man in front of him was very dead. Only after taking a few deep breaths and centering his mind was he able to overcome the deep fear that had been assaulting him. At that point, he finally realized something was wrong. Hed already faced death many times in this new life of his, and hed even died and came back to life. That was without even mentioning the many lives and deaths hed experienced because of the corpse he was standing in front of.
Aha! That must be it!
He made the connection at that instant and that feeling of fear washed over him once again. This time, he knew what was going on and he ignored it. Just like walking up to the edge of a steep cliff, he could only grit his teeth and sharpen his senses. He could feel adrenaline pumping through his veins, making his perception of the world slow down, extremely wary of the danger in front of him. Fear was the natural response to the unknown. A reaction to danger. The bodys instinctual attempt to protect itself, warning the conscious self with a physical reaction.
Sage pushed through, staring into the maw of the abyss. Figuratively, that is.
In actuality, all he did was take a few steps closer to a shriveled corpse. He kneeled down, and reached out to touch the body. As his hand moved, it felt like he was slowly reaching his fingers out towards a fiercely spinning blade. Only an instant away from being completely mangled. His fingers didnt disappear. All he felt was cold skin. The vicious fear continued to press against him, but the longer he fought it the bolder he grew. His consciousness pushed into the corpse, riding a wisp of his Qi. Without the Twin Soul around as a medium, he could only use a more normal method of examining a body. The strand of Qi carried his consciousness upon it, traveling through the dead body towards its forehead, where the Spiritual Sea used to be. Soon he passed through a grey misty barrier and found another dried up Spiritual Sea.
Only, this time he wasnt alone.
Boom!
A ball of flames flew past him, the little wisp of Qi just barely managing to flit to the side and avoid the incoming attack.
The tree flew down to the ground of the Spiritual Sea and scooped up a pile of pink crystals from a small puddle and then it flew back out into the grey mist where it came from. Returning to the outside world, the Nascent Soul flew back into a motionless man sitting cross legged in front of a corpse.
Back in his own body, Sage opened his eyes and smiled. The intense feeling of fear was gone. Then he closed his eyes again and his Nascent Soul flew back out. It flew a hundred yards to a dense forest of pillars. Except, these werent pillars. They were the bodies of the other Flares that Sage had collected. In this stasis world they could be left floating in mid-air and unaffected by gravity. They were lined up in rows and columns, forming layers up to the ceiling that made them look like pillars from afar. The Nascent Soul didnt waste any time, quickly diving into them one by one, pulling out the Psionic Crystals from their dried up Spiritual Seas. It wasnt a pleasant job, but it would be a waste to leave such treasures unclaimed.
A few hours later he was finished and the Nascent Soul returned back to his body again.
He estimated there were nearly 7000 dead flares in this chamber, and after collecting the Psionic Crystals from them, there was a pile of around 14,000. Added to the collection from the mine, that gave him around 17,000 standard grade Psionic Crystals. Thinking about it now, Guan Zhenyan likely already knew about them, yet he didnt bother to mention them.
That must mean he was really only after the higher grade crystals. There must be more to them than he said.
With the spoils of war sorted, Sage turned his attention inward. Forming the Nascent Soul had created great changes and had been something of a calamity to the Inner World. Sage was fearful of what hed find so he decided to settle matters outside first before checking. He entered the internal body of the Nascent Soul and was surprised. The nebula was now much larger! It was also far more lively. In the past, there was a large planet in the center, with a single large nearby star that acted like a sun for the planet. In the periphery were tiny motes of light that looked like stars. Now, things were different.
Instead of two heavenly bodies, there were nine. A second star had joined the first, as well as six other planets. A blue black gem, a swirling grey and white gas giant, a large yellow planet, a small planet with a silvery reflective surface, a mottled brown and black planet, and lastly a brilliant green one. The two stars, one white and one orange, were now spinning around each other, and now the main Inner World was no longer at the center, it was orbiting the stars along with the other planets.
Another evolution!
