After spending several hours dual cultivating with Maya in her spiritual world, Leon returned his consciousness to the real world, albeit mentally exhausted.
He had transferred most of his spiritual strength to Maya once more.
Even so, it was a necessary step to take in order to test his theory on entering the Astral Soul Realm.
He quickly ingested a Spiritual Replenishment Pill and found himself a comfortable spot to lay down and fall into slumber.
However, half an hour passed without success.
Nevertheless, Leon adjusted his sleeping posture on the ground and tried again. Alas, he ended up sleeping for several hours.
When he woke up, Aria and Darlene had already finished absorbing his essence.
At that moment, they were sitting in meditative positions with their eyes closed and cultivating. But when they sensed his gaze on them, they quickly opened their eyes.
"You're awake," Aria softly uttered with a pleasant smile.
