Once I finished my training and everyone was done packing things up, we decided to move on. The summit was right around the corner and the ruins could be seen from all the way here.
On the way, I couldn't help but think about what Alice had told me beforehand…
"Alice, have you run some simulations yet?"
"I have run a few, yes…"
"Then?"
"All of them show how your Spiritual Heart breaks… shattering into pieces. If that happens, it might risk crippling the cultivation of your physique, magic circle, and psyche all at once!"
"Ah, it is way too dangerous to have infinite spiritual essence…"
"Yes, sadly… However, there might be a solution."
"Solution?"
"Yes… If your Spiritual Heart grows tough enough to resist the pressure… Maybe, if you can raise it all the way to Tier 5, it could… potentially work, to be sure, at Tier 5, okay? Not below that."
