Deep inside a cave, three figures could be seen doing different activities with considerable distance between them.
A very beautiful blonde young woman had hundreds of color crystals surrounding her.
She was, without any care, absorbing all the energy inside those crystals.
Once the power was absorbed the colorful crystal would turn transparent and were thrown away by the young woman.
Surprisingly the crystals were not broken. It was just empty.
Few hundred meters away a creature was similarly surrounded with crystals, just different color than those used by the blonde lady.
The crystals were mostly white in color with few yellow crystals mixed in it.
It was white color, not transparent. White color was the qi with lowest purity.
And another few hundred meters away, a handsome young man could be seen sitting in lotus position with a frown on his face.
Naturally these figures were Avery, Nigel and Kylo respectively.
When Nigel was listening to Avery's little adventure she had inside the cave, Kylo was already collecting all the stuffs he his in the cave inside his ring.
Those were mainly treasures he collected in hurry to confront the enemies in his first and only major fight after he 'died'. (A/N1)
Since he didn't had a space ring back then, he just put them away from the other two's sight.
After all the cave was big enough and except for few places he was literally the owner of the cave.
He could teleport things inside the cave anywhere he liked, like how he bought crystals for Avery.
Now that he got a spatial ring he collected all these treasures inside his ring along with a recording orb.
This was the crystal ball which he had used to record all of 'Nigel's' bad deeds. (A/N2)
When he first collected the orb, he was in a dilemma whether to break it or not. In the end he decided not to.
After all no one knows what will happen in the future.
Precaution is always better than cure.
Then he suggested everyone to take few days rest before breaking though the third passageway.
In fact rather than a break for them, it was more for himself.
Mainly because he wanted to know more about the formation. The two formations that 'settled' inside his soul without his permission.
After all he could not just let it be. He got to know about the formation inside his own body.
And another reason would be for Avery. Right now she was pretty much useless.
And he does not know if the 'cave's' effect will be over once he reaches the end of the third pathway.
So he would rather have her cultivate as much as possible.
As for Nigel.... he just stuffed him few crystals and said he could do whatever he wanted to.
And just like that two days passed inside the cave.
Right now Avery was at Sixth Step of Alpha stage which is comparable to 12th stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Nigel didn't have any progress in cultivation, though he already recovered from both tiredness and shock.
But after these two days Kylo had decent progress in researching the formation.
[The formation is made with {Law of Soul}. All those runes are Soul Related.]
He was not an expert in formation and runes... heck he only knew basics, but the reason of his advancement in research was because of {Law of Soul}.
Even if he wasn't a Soul Law holder, he could be considered an expert. (A/N3)
[But it was not like this before it merged with my soul.... It didn't really merge though]
That was why he had a frown on his face.
[The runes inside the formation somehow changed after they settled inside my soul.]
Earlier it was for attack and defense. But now it became something related to Soul.
He continued thinking to himself.
One should not forget before the formation entered inside his soul, he had studied the runes for a long time in hope for cracking the formation.
[If I had to be honest... this formation feels like....]
