CHAPTER 13
"You may now stand and also listen to the story." Er Xie said. So, Xiao stood back up and flew towards Xie.
"Let me start with my identity and my purpose here." Er Xie started. "I am Er Xie, our surname is still forbidden to be mentioned. I am an astral spirit, the highest and the most supreme being among spirits and I am considered to be your twin." The word twin shocks Xie, although he wished that he has sibling, he did not expect to have a twin.
"You know that our mother is a human, right?" Er Xie asked and Xie nodded as an answer. "Then our father is the King of Astral Spirits, but the love affair between our parents is forbidden, so they were hunted by the Enforcers of the astral spirit clan. The moment you are born is also the moment we are born, that is why I can say that we are considered twins. However, other that me, we still have other 2 siblings. The other is waiting in the 4th chapter, while the other is with our mother." Er Xie said.
"How can you know all of this, when basically we are of the same age?" Xie asked.
"Astral Spirits already have a consciousness the moment we are born, and that is why I know this stories." Er Xie answered.
"Then can you tell me where our mother is?" Xie asked.
"I'm sorry but, this is the limit of what I can tell you. The rest, you may find it on the next chapters." He replied. "Now then, it is time to tell my purpose. I am supposedly your 3rd ring since 500 mental strength is the power of a Soul Master, but you came much earlier, so I have no choice but to be your 2nd ring." Er Xie said.
"What's with the rush?" Xie asked again.
"I am actually expecting you to open this chapter when you are at level 27 or 28, and I will be your next ring once you reach the 30th level. But you came here when you are still at the 12th level. The moment you reached your bottleneck, this whole place will sense it and automatically make me your next ring. The color of my ring will be adjusted according to your latest ring and mental strength. If I will estimate it, I can be around 3000-4000 year old ring." Er Xie explained.
"Since I already explained my identity and purpose here, not it is time to explain the terrain here." Er Xie started talking again. "After opening the next chapter, the current and next will merge together and make this place much bigger. In short, if you open all the 5 chapters, there will be 5 different areas in here."
"The previous chapter has the majority if the treasures that our mother and father has in order to support you growth. If in the first chapter only increase your cultivation twice, in here 1 hour of cultivation is equivalent to 1 day. Soul Beast and Spirit beasts can also cultivate here. Their ratio is different, 1 hour is equivalent to 100 years." Er Xie said, with this Xie raised a question.
"Can the impure phoenix blood cultivate here?" Then Xie showed him the 30 drops of impure Phoenix blood. Whe Er Xie saw this, he rushed towards Xie and stare at the 30 drops of impure phoenix blood.
"Who was stupid enough to give you 30 drops of impure phoenix blood?!" Er Xie asked. Xie could not believe that the Dean was called stupid by his twin.
"Well, technically it is not mine but from my friend's. Xiao suggested that he should request for impure phoenix blood in exchange for Real break pill." Xie answered.
"30 drops is equivalent to 1 realm break pill?! What in the world is going on?! 1 drop is already too much for 1 realm break pill." Er Xie replied.
"Too much??? Impure phoenix blood is only a pill or potion ingredient here. Although it is not luxury, there are still limited supplies." Xie answered.
"A phoenix blood is downgraded to this point?" Er Xie sadly asked. Xie was now curios why his twin is acting like this.
"What is with this impure phoenix blood? Xiao called it young phoenix blood, and you call it phoenix blood? What is going on?" Xie consecutively asked.
"That cyclops spirit is really something. Yes, it is a young Phoenix blood. You know that a Phoenix is a mythical beast that has the ability to be reborn, right?" Er Xie asked,and Xie nodded as answer. "A drop of Phoenix blood contains the essence of a Phoenix, which can be formed after it reached 10,000 years old. 1 drop has 1 essence and if you combine 10 essence can make a Phoenix egg. I don't want to rob your friend but 10 essence is already too much for him, but still give him 10." Er Xie said.
"Base on your memories, he has a are Ice and Fire Hawk with a Phoenix bloodline. Luckily there are Ice Phoenix and Fire Phoenix blood her. Let the phoenix blood cultivate here until it reached 10,000 years. And I will guide you about what is next after that." Er Xie said. And Xie let the 30 drops of blood stayed in the second chapter. For the blood drops become an essence, an average of 4 days is needed, so Xie let the blood where they are and started to cultivate.
Since he has now reached 500 mental strength he tried to feel his Sea of Consciousness. With the help Er Xie, he was able to easily enter his Sea of Consciousness. Xie did not know what a Sea of Consciousness should look like but he was amazed by how wide and large the area is. In the center area is a pair of black pupil eyes with a violet ring.
"The Sea of Consciousness is a place were you can actually check the condition of your martial soul. Also inside here, your spirits will appear in their original form. Your martial soul is located in the center of this area. This place will also where your spirits will live, each of them can create their own habitat in here but you should gradually increase your mental strength to increase the area of your Sea of Consciousness. The older your spirit is, the bigger the area it will occupy in your Sea of Consciousness." Er Xie explained.
"Since commonly the Sea of Consciousness will be only open once you reached the Soul Master stage, I do not know what changes will happen in here but I have a feeling that it will be beneficial." He added.
Today, Xie gained so much, from his breakthrough to 500 mental strength, the 2nd chapter of the mysterious book, the opening of his sea of consciousness and the phoenix blood essence he will get after 4 days.
