Deep in an abandoned cave void of light,gusts of wind blew in from the outside, making a wailing sound like ghostly howls, causing the body in the cave to shudder uncontrollably.
A chilling sensation emanated from his body, and as Zephyroth was struck by the cool breeze, he slowly awakened from his slumber.
The slightly damp sensation of his surrounding was clearly transmitted to him, along with the chilling wind that continued to blow in, making him shiver uncontrollably.
At that very moment, fragmented memories came flooding in, causing him to grit his teeth in pain, his head splitting and his body trembling on the ground.
After a while, the pain in his head receded, and as his consciousness returned, Zephyroth gasped heavily. Gathering some strength, he stared at his surrounding sighing with relief while saying "So I survived?"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but remember the terrifying punch that struck his true Spirit causing it to go to slumber
Calling at the interface,he decided to check his current situation
Name: Zephyroth Tempest
Age:10
Race:Half human/????
Cultivation: Early Stage Soul Condensing [???]
Technique: Crimson Demonic Sutra[Evolved]
Soul Points: Nil
Physique :???
Status: Healthy
Despite his situation,he was slightly happy on improving his Cultivation by several levels considering he was stuck there for long time and the gains he received did outweigh the loses
In that battle,he got carried away by the massive strength received when he had a breakthrough and so he foolishly attacked the old man, if not for the guy in White, he was sure he wouldn't even be existing now
In real life, there are too many dangers that can lead to death.
And if you don't have enough strength to oppose or avoid these dangers,then you can only succumbed to the strong or die a miserable death resisting
Maybe one day there will be an accident that he can't avoid, and by then it'll be too late for regrets
Sighing,he shifted his attention to the new Cultivation Technique presented after the Evolution of the Heartless Mantra
Finally, after thoroughly checking his status for any anomaly and ensuring that it was alright only then did he feel at ease
Searching his body,he found a ring wrapped in a cloth in his pocket
Though cautious,he couldn't help his curiosity and so he grabbed the ring and sent his spiritual consciousness in to it finding an jade and some basic necessities in them.
Holding the jade,he infused his spiritual energy into it causing it to glow with a light so bright that he he felt uncomfortable with but he was patient enough to see what happens
Before him,a hologram of the man in White appeared
"Hello little friend" Suddenly a majestic voice with a mysterious aura resounded from within his head as if coming from all directions.
And that aura made a very strong impression to the point that even the pitch black rune which laid dormant my soul was awoken, radiating a crimson light which calmed my shaking soul
"Who are you?" Zephyroth asked in a calm tone whereas on the inside, he was very afraid of this mysterious figure claiming to be a friend
"Just a passerby, I can't maintain this image for long anymore, and I can only speak, so there's no need to be so worried," replied the voice in a tone that sounded like it was joking but also gave the impression that what it said was the truth.
"It's surprising meeting a possessor of one of the 4 Ancient Forbidden Physiques here of all places hehe if my sister knew it,she would surely try all means to recruit you" said the man while revering in nostalgia
Though afraid, Zephyroth still paid attention to the man's words and hearing what he said,he was in a daze
Although his knowledge of the so called Forbidden Physique was not very clear, he was sure it represented the pinnacle of all all innate constitutions in the world,for they were so powerful that even Gods coveted them more than anything else.
Zephyroth breathed a sigh of relief, feeling calmer after getting a gist of his apparent situation of being unable to cultivate his body despite the resources he possessed in the Ares Dukedom
"If I may be bold,I wander what Realm you have reached in being able to defeat me with a mere punch, I dare say even someone at the Origin King Realm wouldn't be able to casually crush my True Spirit and that without even displaying any technique" asked Zephyroth curiously while anticipating a clear response to his doubts
Though he had some knowledge about the existing Realms above Origin,he couldn't access them not due to his low strength, actually his strength was already reach the prerequisite enough to access them but his state of being was too inferior,even after being baptized by his True Spirit he still needs to fully evolve before he could fully transform to a #@$$##
"Saint Realm, what is it?" The Zephyroth eyes widened when he heard a response and he was surprised he even got one considering he was being rude to pry in the matters of the strong despite being a puny Soul Condensing cultivator
"That's right, it's the realm after the Origin Ascension phases" the man replied amused by the expression displayed by Zephyroth"In that realm, there is no longer any stage. It only has one stage, but with infinite potential, my power is enough to destroy your true Spirit with a casually flick if I wish"
After hearing that confirmation, Zephyroth took a deep breath and was further enlightened while breaking in to cold sweat in his sheer audacity in daring to attack someone as powerful as him.
"Don't bother about such trifle matters,you even did me a favor in teaching this foolish nephew of mine that there's always a sky about the sky" said the man while having a slight smile in his eyes.
