As soon as she touched the shard of the red soul gem, she felt her body in a state of complete relaxation. However, this feeling only lasted for moments, as she was bombarded with a wealth of information that assaulted her mind, and what made matters worse was that she couldn't comprehend any of it.
Just like when she first received memories of the original body, she felt a lot of pain and strain on her brain, and in the end, all she could do was curse.
After losing consciousness due to the pain that attacked her mind and soul, she opened her eyes. However, unlike the room filled with energy stones she had been in before, she was now in complete darkness.
Sophia didn't know what to do, so she continued walking in the void, but internally she was thinking, 'Am I dead?'
She could only contemplate such a possibility, but her confusion didn't last long. Soon, the blue system interface appeared.
[Ding: The host is currently in her spiritual void.]
[Ding: Mission: Please understand the acquired information here.]
[Ding: Mission Duration: Unlimited, and the host will automatically exit when understanding the information by one hundred percent.]
[Ding: Upon understanding the information, the host will become the rightful owner of the remaining heritage of the Sky Sect associated with the shard of the Soul Gem, and all four legacy doors will be placed in the host's spiritual void.]
Sophia felt perplexed by the system's task. She wondered what information she needed to grasp and when did she gets her own spiritual space.
spiritual space was something exclusive to those with a high cultivation base , and she hadn't even started gathering natural energy, let alone possessing a strong cultivation base.
But what was on her mind now was the duration she should spend on this task. Apparently, there were no time constraints or rewards for the task either. She closed her eyes, and somehow, she felt she could understand what the system wanted her to do. Texts floated in the air, adorned with various unfamiliar symbols and colors.
She sighed with a tinge of sadness. This reminded her of the days when she was surrounded by all the notebooks and books while preparing for the medical college entrance exam. When Sophia attempted to read the floating lines in the air, she was surprised to discover that she could understand the writing. Over time, after reading several books, she realized that all the information here was about the art of sealing, which was related to her innate talent. She summarized that she possessed a very rare talent: the ability to seal anything and everything, like sealing cultivation bases or people's spirits. However, at the moment, all of this seemed like an unattainable dream for her. With the information available here, she could at least seal a part of people's bodies to immobilize them.
Sophia's thoughts swirled with a mix of emotions. The revelation that her talent for sealing only worked on regular people and not cultivators wasn't exactly thrilling for her. In this world, regular people occupied the lowest rung of the food chain, and while Sophia, the original one, was one of them, she hadn't suffered the same hardships due to her status. Being a princess allowed her to be one step above ordinary people, no matter how much hardship she faced. She hadn't reached a point of despair because inner courtyard battles relied on intelligence and cunning rather than strength.
After gaining a general understanding of the information before her, she began to analyze and comprehend it. She discovered that it was just the basics, like an introduction to sealing. Some hand signals and techniques allowed her to seal certain body parts.
As she delved deeper into the concept, she thought, "My talent knows no bounds. If I develop it to the fullest, I might even surpass Alex himself." She chuckled ironically at her own thoughts, realizing that it was better to fix her trashy body rather than entertain such futile ideas.
She glanced at the system's window and felt a bit annoyed because she had only absorbed twenty percent of the information so far. Time passed, and Sophia tried to understand and study the information related to the art of sealing. Strangely, she didn't need any food, sleep, or even rest. She felt energetic throughout, forgetting about the outside world and mastering all the sealing techniques and matrices to perfection.
Once she reached this stage, she heard the voice of the automated system.
[Ding: The host has understood all the basics and techniques of sealing.]
[Ding: Exiting the spiritual space.]
[Ding: Transferring the inheritance to the host's spiritual void, and the process will be completed within an hour.]
[Ding: Please close your eyes.]
Sophia complied with the system's request and closed her eyes, feeling a strange sensation afterward, but it wasn't painful. When she reopened her eyes, she found herself back in the fourth room.
As soon as she stood up, a terrible headache assaulted her. She angrily asked the system, "What did you say about improving my health by five percent?"
[Ding: The host's health has indeed improved, but this improvement wasn't evident due to the host's seemingly hopeless physical condition.]
Sophia scoffed aloud at the system's polite phrasing. It was indirectly telling her that her body was trash.
However, she couldn't dwell on this matter for long. She had spent a long time in the spiritual void, and she didn't know if the time there was similar to the time outside. So, she quickly exited the room just as she had entered, passing through it like a ghost.
Sophia sighed in relief as she exited the room. However, her moment of respite was short-lived as she encountered Shin Yanshiao, who appeared visibly anxious and bombarded her with a barrage of questions. "Did you get hurt somewhere? What happened inside? How did you manage to pass through the door? Are you okay?"
Sophia held her head as Shin Yanshiao's unending questions intensified her headache. As soon as Shin Yanshiao saw Sophia, who was clearly not well, she rushed forward and cradled her in a princess-like manner.
"Don't be so hard on yourself," Shin Yanshiao reassured her.
Sophia felt a sense of panic when Shin Yanshiao suddenly picked her up without any warning. In response, she clung to her tightly. This made the situation even more awkward for the two young women. However, Sophia eventually yielded to the inevitable. She was indeed feeling tired, and if someone wanted to carry her and transport her, she wouldn't refuse.
I apologize for the previous response in Arabic. Here's the English translation of your text:
"How much time did i spend inside?"
"About three to four hours," Sophia replied with a sigh of relief. The banquet hadn't ended yet, and surely, no one would notice her absence along with Shin Yanshiao.
"What should we do now?" Sophia asked.
"We'll take souvenirs," Shin Yanshiao suggested.
"Choose just one thing, and if you're greedy, you won't be able to leave here at all because there's a hidden mechanism that prevents anything from leaving these doors," Sophia warned.
Sophia randomly picked a necklace she found in the place. In contrast, Shin Yanshiao chose a combat technique centered around using a whip called "Thousand Whip Arts." Sophia didn't object to her choice. In fact, she had also chosen this technique from the narrative and had managed to reach new levels in her cultivation. Sophia's decision to take a random necklace reflected her indifference, as everything here was already hers in any case.
The atmosphere at the banquet remained as Sophia had left it earlier. No one seemed to care whether she was present or not, as the entire hall was filled with dancing and singing.
In one corner noah, Linn and Su Yu were sitting, their expressions far from pleasant. It was clear they were deeply engrossed in something, and due to the festive atmosphere around them, no one dared approach.
Linn asked, "Where could it be?"
Su Yu replied, "We've searched everywhere in the palace and found no clues. Could it be that the location is not here?"
Noah chimed in with a firm rejection, "No, I'm sure the location is somewhere here in the palace. We need to search thoroughly."
The three fell silent as there was nothing more to discuss. After a few minutes, Linn asked, "Where is the eldest brother's wife, by the way? I can't see her anywhere."
Noah looked around and indeed, just as Linn had mentioned, Sophia was nowhere to be found in the hall. This deepened his frown. Thanks to his cultivation, he could sense commotion from the women's side, and with his high cultivation base he could hear what was happening there!
