When Kai heard the words of the woman named Kessia, he instantly froze!
"Finally a clue! She definitely knows the nature of my energy!" - Kai thought, trying to realise what was happening.
Although the method of spiritual transmission was very similar to communicating through thoughts. But that didn't mean that the person you were talking to could read everything you were thinking about.
When Kai had first tried to use this method, he had just improvised. He didn't really understand how it worked. But after a little bit of communication, he understood roughly how it worked.
In order to communicate through spiritual energy, you have to literally speak. But not with the help of one's physical body, but with the help of spiritual projection in the Spiritual Sea. Thus, when the spiritual energies of different Spiritual Seas intersected, the interlocutors could communicate through their projections.
"Why did you call my possession of this energy impossible?" - Kai asked, using spiritual energy.
"No matter how much you try, I won't tell you. You just won't be able to understand. It's useless." - Kessia replied with a sneer and continued," "What's the name of your cultivation technique kid?" - The voice in his head asked a question in response.
"I have a name, Kai. Call me normally, otherwise I'll call you some stupid nickname in return. Hmm, like... Old hag... Relic fossil... Very ancient sister..." - Kai started mentally naming different nicknames, hinting at Kessia's age.
No matter how powerful the girl was. She still didn't like to broach the topic of age. When Kai wanted to continue speaking, he instantly experienced an incredible pain.
- Agrrgh! - Shouted Kai, and instantly collapsed to his knees.
"Stop it... Don't ever call me that again, Kai. Better answer the question." - The woman said a little irritably, putting emphasis on calling Kai by her first name.
When Kessia voiced it, the pain all over Kai's body instantly disappeared.
"Why should I answer you? If you won't answer me, then I won't. You just won't understand... It's useless..." - Kai returned Kessia's words back to her.
"I'm already starting to regret choosing you to pass on my bloodline... You're insufferable." - A voice said contemptuously.
"Yes, you're the same! If I tell you the name of my technique, tell me at least a little bit. I won't demand all the information. I myself realise that sometimes ignorance can be useful." - Kai said calmly, offering a compromise.
"Okay, I promise you." - Just as calmly the woman replied.
"I don't know where my technique came from. It was given to me by my master since I was unable to cultivate it. At one time, he found it, as he said in the forbidden lands. It's called the Invisible Kings Torture Technique." - Kai leisurely explained.
"What a... Bastard!" - Shouted Kessia. It was clear that she was very angry right now.
"Is that you talking about me, or my master? You know, that's not very polite. Hehehe." said Kai with a laugh. He wasn't hurt by the insults.
"Don't make up too much for yourself. You're too insignificant to incur my wrath." - Indifferently, the woman replied after hearing Kai's question.
"So? Are you going to tell me something interesting in return?" - Asked Kai, returning to their arrangement.
"Hmm... The vicissitudes of fate are too unpredictable and mysterious..." - Kessia said thoughtfully, "I learnt this technique once too. You could say it is basic... But only a few with the purest bloodlines are allowed to study it. Even in my homeland, someone like you wouldn't be worthy of it. Here, it's not supposed to show up at all. And I think I know how she got to you..." - Cassia spoke, as if in a trance.
"But it's very surprising..." - She continued to ramble in thought.
"What exactly is amazing?" - Asked Kai.
"What's amazing is that you were able to cultivate it. Your body is different... I've known many with far stronger flesh than yours. But even among them, many couldn't bear it. I must admit, it's incredible..." - Kessia spoke.
Listening to her words, Kai tried to memorise everything she said as verbatim as possible. Although a great deal was ambiguous and vague, but even so, he could extract at least a little bit of information.
"My body is weaker because of the so-called bloodline? What is that even?" - Kai asked.
He had heard this woman mention bloodline several times before. But Kai couldn't quite understand exactly what she was talking about. Until now, he hadn't heard of such a concept.
"That's exactly right. It would be difficult to explain since there's.... Let's just say that in this place, it's an uncommon principle... Not common here..." - It seemed that Kessia was trying to find the right words so that Kai could understand what she was saying.
"It will be most understandable if I explain to you through a story. A legend of ancient, powerful beings..... It is said that once upon a time, there were legendary 'beasts' in the world. Such as Dragons, Phoenixes, Cillini... or Assuras..." - Kessia spoke enigmatically, "Each of them had their own power, which was contained in their bloodline. That is, in their blood and flesh. Their descendants, could only receive a portion of the power at birth... Some 'beasts' could only pass on their bloodline once..... I won't be able to tell you more, as you simply won't be able to understand..." - Said Kessia, shaking her head. It seemed like she could tell more, but she just didn't know how.
"But if such beasts once existed and were so powerful... Why don't they rule this world?" - Kai asked.
When he heard Kessia's legend, it was the first thing that came to his mind.
"The universe has its own laws... The stronger your bloodline, the harder it is for you to leave offspring. Some beings, have never been able to recreate it, dying alone. You don't need to know more." - Cassia replied thoughtfully.
Thinking about all that was said, Kai began to have some guesses.
"Considering that the Invisible King Torture Technique is similar from your homeland... And the main cultivation place is called Assura's Hell... Also, your legend of bloodlines..." - Kai spoke slowly, bringing the main question to a head, "You passed your bloodline to me.... Assura's bloodline?" - Kai asked bluntly.
"You could be right, but no. In my situation, it's much more complicated than you can imagine. So far, I've explained everything to you that you can realise. That's the end of it." - Replied Kessia with some ambiguity.
"I see your point... Thank you for telling me at least that." - Said Kai in mixed feelings.
Everything that had happened to him in the last day was very strange. Kai still hadn't realised how things had turned out this way.
"The intangibility of Time and Space, is law one. Elusive and unknowable, it seems like it was before everything and will be after," Kai suddenly remembered, "The causelessness of Luck, is law two. It is impossible to grasp the causes and effects of the manifestations of the universe, as if everything is decided by a throw of a dice with an infinity of faces, which gives birth to the most incredible regularities." - Kai repeated the second law in his head as well.
"It seems that fate really isn't a fiction... Or maybe it's just a trick of the Law of Lucklessness... How could I obtain the Invisible Kings Torture Technique, and even find an ancient entity familiar with it? It's all too vague... Every time I think of such a thing, I realise that I need to become stronger. I'm too limited." - Thought to himself, Kai thought to himself. These musings even made him feel completely insignificant. It seemed to him as if he didn't decide anything and was just a toy in the hands of fate.
"No! Fuck you. Even if fate throws me its plans, it's still up to me to decide how to use them. No one will dictate my path! Hehe!" - Thinking about it, Kai instantly came to his senses.
Though sometimes it seemed like everything in this world was a foregone conclusion. But the final decision still rested with the individual.
"You think you're being led by fate? Ha ha ha." - Cassia's laughing voice suddenly sounded.
"I really thought so at first. But in the end, I'm not close to such an idea." - Honestly replied Kai.
"Kai, let this be my first piece of advice to you. The universe is chaos. And in the chaos, such strange patterns can arise..... that may seem to have some mysterious meaning. But in the end, at its core, everything is just chaos. We too, you might say, are just chaos. So don't think too much to yourself." - Cassia said calmly.
Hearing those words, Kai felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Only at that moment, did he realise that this woman was far more powerful and wise than he could have imagined. What she said was a bit like the Law of Reckless Luck.
"You shouldn't be fooled by her easy manner of speaking to me... I guess I'll remember her words..." - Deeply shocked, a slightly dumbfounded Kai pondered.
