At this moment, Oscar felt quite uncomfortable. It was as if his whole body was on fire. He kept fanning his body with his clothes.
[Don't panic, Beast Slayer] The remnant also felt a surge of energy circulating around in Oscar's body, and said. [Sit down and cross your leg as if you want to meditate. Now according to the skill that I gave you, slowly guide the essence throughout your body]
After listening to the guardian's instructions, Oscar immediately sat down cross-legged and began meditation according to his guardian's words. He needed to hurry up, since it was really hot and uncomfortable.
When he worked at a furnace site in his previous life, he had never felt so hot before even working under the sun.
The refinement skill taught by the remnant to Oscar was known as the Twilight Skill. It could harness the ether hidden in nature when the day and night timelines alternated in the sky. The time known as the twilight. It was ten times or even dozens of times more efficient than that of ordinary skills.
Because only when day and night alternated, and the energy conflict between the sun and the moon was at its most intense, would the energy generated be at its strongest. And the Twilight Skill was a great way to attract this powerful force for conveyance.
This was a leveling method that the remnant had obtained as a waiting guardian in his tens of thousands of years of existence.
The person who first invented this skill was also an owner of a saint body, a mage of great power. It was a pity that this skill was acquired by him when he had greatly increased his power base and finally formed his essence crystals..
Otherwise, with his potential, he would have been able to level up into a true Immortal, and he would have gained ascension. But in the end, the mage vanished after thousands of years.
According to his usual refinement route, Oscar slowly ran the essence in his body, constantly absorbing the heat flow into his veins. Gradually, the heat flow was drawn out into threads by his powerful will, like a spider spinning silk, fine and long.
Finally, the last trace of heat flowed into his veins. At this moment, he experienced an indescribable feeling of comfort in his whole body, so he continued to use his will to circulate the essence for two more weeks before he got up.
By this time, he only felt that the essence in his body was abundant and full. He had harnessed more essence than his usual way, only in a few weeks. So, he was more than happy.
After standing up, stretching out his arms, he discovered that it was an indescribable comfort for him.
[Beast Slayer, how do you feel?]
Oscar answered excitedly. "I feel great. It's as if the energy in my body has improved more than it had been for the past few days."
[That's good. The sky worm is indeed a treasure. Beast Slayer, don't think your advancement is just the result of your own power. You must realize it's mainly because of these silkworms. So, you must not be excessive when consuming them, or else you will be putting a massive danger on your power base]
"I understand."
[According to the words left by the divine mage of this cave, you should only take one piece of silkworm a day. Under no circumstances should you eat too much. After the essence is harnessed, you must refine harder everyday to strengthen your power base. Use it wisely so as not to bring dangers upon yourself]
Oscar listened to the words of the remnant, and nodded incessantly. "Don't worry, remnant. I will follow your words diligently. But, didn't you say that I can only practice refinement when day and night are alternated?"
[That's because of your sacred body. It enables the power of the sun and of the moon to be gathered together by you, but the two forces must be balanced so as not to adversely affect your body. Therefore, it can only be practiced when the two ethers are equal, when they alternate during the twilight]
"That's what I'm thinking."
[Yes, and you know what, in this Immortal cave, there is a third kind of power source I'm sensing, The Ether emitted by this Immortal tree. Although this kind of energy is released in large quantities only in the early morning every day, but because of thousands of years of its accumulation, the air in this cave is also rich in ether. This is neutral and peaceful, so you can harness ether here at any time and refine it. It will be good for you]
"I understand, mighty one." Oscar suddenly felt a sense of relief after hearing this. It turned out that this cave was so mysterious in every possible way. Now, he he felt confident about his future advancement.
He was in deep thoughts when heard the remnant's voice again.
[I have to preserve what's left of my consciousness for now. The ether in this cave will be of great help. After some time, we'll then leave this place]
"I understand." After Oscar said this, he sat down with his legs crossed again, and began to harness and refine ether.
