After what seemed like an eternity to Knave the pain going through his body ultimately receded back to his mind, as his gaze was locked shut he could easily see in his inner soul space, in it there was something like a vast tree going from the bottom of his soul space to the top.
It was like a giant stick that had come from the bottom of the soul space, at the middle of the soul space the trunk of the tree had a blunt space like a platform of sorts, from the edges of the platform three branches we're growing and going in three different directions of the soul space.
As he was curious and about to further dwell into the matter, his mind suddenly jerked out of the soul space it was like he had been awakening from a very long dream and it was hard to distinguish from reality, when he had opened his eyes it was like everything around him has changed he could perceive the cold of the night more clearly than before, he could see in a corner a mosquito was sticking unto the back of his table waiting for the opportunity to have a good meal and he could also feel all his pores secreting quite a lot of sweat because of the pain he went through.
All this took quite a time to explain but he had perceived it in a second which had allowed him to understand that not only his senses have been amplified but even his mind or to be exact his soul has been enriched from his awakening. He couldn't help but shed tears of joy as the most important dream of his had been seen through, and from what he had read from the books the tree that he had seen was likely his Spirit vein, he had always wished for the spirit vein as he knew to get a spirit soul with his luck would take him 10 life cycles.
" So from what I can take from my soul space, it can be seen that I have 3 branches which means that I have a Rank 3 talent which is a middle rank, there should be no problem for me to enter an Academy and to enter the Spirit refining stage if I can learn about alchemy as well as the formations I can slowly accumulate enough resources of my own while keeping a low profile and breakthrough from even the spirit refining stage" for Knave it was never a dilemma even if he got the lowest rank talent for cultivation as he would use his all to breakthrough any stage or realm with all his efforts. According to him the only reason why the other lower rank talents do not improve is they do not have the will to fight against fate to seize their own destiny and keep it in their hands.
While he was thinking over for the plans he had made tomorrow he suddenly felt the same kind of pain he had felt just moments ago but this pain was ten times more intense than the last one it was like he was having someone pour hot oil into his brain and then use a stick to open the space for more oil to be poured, he could not understand what kind of situation he was going through as he had just finished awakening but as he could not comprehend what was going on he did what was the best course of action right now.
He closed his eyes and went back into the meditation pose, he tried to keep his mind as calm as possible but the pain was too overwhelming for him, he tried to keep his mind from collapsing from the pain as he did not know what would happen if he fainted.
After god knows how many minutes or hours or even days he felt in that torture, the feeling had passed from his mind and slowly started to spread throughout his body almost making his body have a seizure, it went the same way as before but it was only the pain was more fierce than before as the pain slowly receded back to the mind, he again entered his soul space.
