Lansha spoke seriously, making Alm and Bruno take a deep breath and refocus. They exchanged a glance with Ruri, and suddenly, an interesting idea surfaced.
"Now you have a divine soul, and you need to learn to use it properly. With that, you won’t die anymore, even if your soul is reduced to a tiny fragnt. Splitting your soul for different functions is essential. You can even control another body remotely with this skill."
Ruri instantly understood the implication and smiled excitedly. "Master wants to take ?"
"Yes, but we have less than three months, and you won’t learn to master this in such a short ti," the whale replied calmly. "However, a divine soul is challenging. If you can manipulate laws and Qi with just your soul, I can take you with . In the sealed world, you’ll be extrely valuable; it’s worth the effort and the risk."
Determined, Ruri clenched her fists. Then the whale touched her forehead and transferred a wealth of knowledge from his past experiences with a divine soul. "Go practice, you have little ti."
Ruri nodded and went to a corner of the room, closing her eyes and entering deep ditation to study and practice.
anwhile, Alm and Bruno turned to the inventory. Inside, Lansha could already solidify a complete body and re-enter the world, restarting cultivation. However, once she began absorbing Qi, that body created through tamorphosis would be considered alive, and she wouldn’t be able to stay in the inventory anymore.
She showed a peculiar red rune to Alm and Bruno, who examined it closely. Within seconds, they concluded with satisfaction:
"It’s perfect. It’s identical to the rune we created in you with the Devil God’s Dao."
Now that Lansha lived within an identical rune and had claid it as her new true body, her understanding of it was profound. She managed to split a small part of her essence and, with Liumi’s soul power, created a copy.
The copy was still incomplete and weak, obviously. Alm and Bruno refined it and adapted the rune to align with the new race they created, the Primordial Battle Spirit.
Based on Lansha’s fluctuations, they were sure that the Heavenly Elental Spirits would see her as one of them, though with so strangeness since she wasn’t tied to any natural elent.
However, the Devil God’s Dao, which was the foundation of this new race, used Yin and Qi to form the rune; so it wasn’t entirely foreign. If Lansha displayed so elental mastery, her disguise would be perfect, which wasn’t an issue for her.
"Do you understand the basics of the technique?" the whale asked, and Lansha nodded in response.
"I can create the Yang tattoo whenever needed, sir."
Langrum and Loeus, Lansha’s parents, possessed the Yin and Yang tattoo technique. To her, the basics weren’t new since she had studied it in the past. Now, without a Yangta bloodline, she would use a Yang tattoo, and with her previous mastery, she could eventually create a Yang fla similar to the one she once had.
With the preparations complete, the whale turned to the souls in the inventory. There were around seven hundred beast souls that had been with him since the Phoenix Cry Sect. He, Lansha, and Liumi began to work tirelessly.
With two months left until recruitnt, the whale’s fortress courtyard was full of floating red runes radiating intense soul power.
Everyone received a rune and connected to it, ready to form a physical body. Lansha, now with a complete body, coordinated the process. Next to her stood a shorter man, his expression contemplative.
It was Mihkriel, now a Primordial Spirit born from the laws of Chaos. His long, dark brown hair was tied back in a loose ponytail, giving him an intense aura. His features were sharp, with thick eyebrows emphasizing his piercing gaze, and blue-gray eyes that contrasted with his fair skin.
Lansha helped him build a suitable body, and now they were assisting everyone else in doing the sa.
Alm and Bruno would have preferred if Mihkriel had stayed behind at the sect. But there was no ti to waste, and urgency demanded action. If he could be useful, he had to co; if he wasn’t ready, he would be shaped in the chaos of the mission.
Lansha assured them she would command and train him. Alm and Bruno were hesitant at first but seeing that with just a look from her, Mihkriel beca completely subdued, they were satisfied.
She seed to shake him with her presence and beauty. If it were a man with an iron fist commanding him, resentnt and anger could arise. But if it was a woman who stirred him, he would be less likely to rebel; all she had to do was balance firmness and reward. Lansha wasn’t naive; she noticed the looks he gave her body but didn’t care, using it to her advantage.
No woman around the whale was naïve or simple. If the whale believed soone was useful, she would do whatever was necessary to help train them. Of course, if he dared to do anything strange... Alm and Bruno felt sorry imagining the outco. All the won would deal with him fiercely.
A month later, everyone had ford their physical bodies. Instead of humanoid forms, they created beastly shapes similar to what they had in life, limited to a maximum of three ters in size.
Since all the souls were fire beasts in the past, it was relatively simple for them to use that law to simulate having been born under its influence. Mihkriel, being a missionary, could wield any elent but chose to use fire to stay aligned with the group.
Alm and Bruno took advantage of the sect’s vast resources to get everyone started with cultivation, advancing quickly to the Body Destruction Realm—perfect for sect recruitnt.
During this ti, they focused on studying the immortal laws of earth. With so knowledge, they created a rune identical to that of a Heavenly Elental Spirit of earth, using the Behemoth’s primordial bloodline.
They chose the earth’s laws for their body, which, combined with primordial bloodline, provided supre power among the five elents. Additionally, they could create Yin and Yang tattoos on their soul, using this power as needed.
They split their celestial soul, leaving a minimal part in the whale’s body, while 90% transferred to the new elental body.
Alm and Bruno then perford a crucial test: moving the inventory to another part of the soul. Previously, the inventory’s rune was linked to their body and part of their soul, which had seed impossible to move.
It was Heaven’s Will that allowed them to carry the inventory on missions. But now, with the celestial soul, a single thought was enough to move the inventory. They could do anything Heaven’s Will or the heavenly laws could, as long as they witnessed it once.
Afterward, they created a neutral, simple, and almost androgynous physical body, fitting given the balance of earth’s laws between Yin and Yang, making the appearance more realistic.
With only a few days left before departure, Ruri approached the whale, excited. This ti, not physically, but moving solely with her divine soul, separating perfectly from her body.
"You learned fast. When I first t you, you could barely use a bit of my divine soul..." The whale sighed.
Ruri then shaped her soul’s appearance, shrinking until she rested on their shoulder like a tiny spiritual fairy.
She tested connecting to their new elental body. Alm and Bruno had already quickly cultivated it to the sa level as everyone else. Ruri managed to absorb a bit of the Qi from the body and easily manipulated ti and space.
"I did it! I can go with Master now!" She said joyfully from their shoulder. "I also studied the new level of the Formation God’s Dao, and I’ve assimilated about two-thirds. If I have more ti, I can finish it all."
She spoke excitedly, and Alm and Bruno looked at her on their shoulder with soft expressions. It was a nostalgic feeling to see her there, even if the situation was different.
***
It was an ordinary day in the Heavenly Soul Galaxy, one of the largest galaxies in the Queen’s universe, ho to the once-second-largest sect in the universe, the Heavenly Spirit God Sect.
Although the Yinblood Sect and the alliance sects possessed imnse power, they never dared to approach this place. It wasn’t out of fear of the sect or the rival alliance, but because it was ho to the only living deity known across the universe.
The Heavenly Spirit God was there, and despite being a supre and feared god, this entity had been spared by the whale in the past, at the request of Vorion, who was also a Heavenly Elental Spirit.
Although he was a god, he was still mortal. However, compared to cultivators at the peak of divine cultivation, his strength was unparalleled. Even without resorting to his Divine Dao, he could face a hundred cultivators of similar level at once. This was because, upon being accepted by the laws as a deity, he had beco a part of them, like a primordial beast.
On that day, trillions of young cultivators from the Heavenly Elental Spirit race gathered on a single planet, forming a massive elental ant colony. People of this race created bodies, sotis humanoid, sotis beastly, or random strange shapes. It all depended on the influences around them when they were born.
For more than a week now, everyone had been registering for the sect entrance test. After the registration, which was not at all strict, each person received the mark of the Heavenly Spirit God, which contained a basic introduction to his Dao.
The test instructions were given by an Elder right after the registration and were very direct:
"You will be sent to a unique place. To survive, you must master the use of the Sacred Dao. The test will last a month, and anyone who survives until the end will be automatically brought back and approved."
"Think carefully about the information contained in the Dao. Your life depends on this, as a failure will an death. You are trying to enter the sacred land of our race, so you must prove you are worthy. But the place you will go to is not just a survival field; there are countless opportunities there. Not only will you enter the sect, but if you find sothing valuable, it could change your destiny forever."
The Elder finished explaining to a group of newly-registered youths, but his gaze fixed on one peculiar young man among them. He felt a great pressure emanating from the boy.
"Young Kuririn, it’s been a long ti since I’ve seen soone with such potential. My eyes can’t be mistaken. When you return, co find . I have connections with the Earth Hall and can guide you within the sect."
"Thank you, Elder, I will be eternally grateful for your help," the young man, humanoid in appearance, bald with androgynous features, replied as he bowed politely.
Next to him was a tall humanoid woman with green skin, who any inhabitant of the Pristine planet would instantly recognize as Langrum. It was Lansha’s disguise, as she had turned into the most incredible appearance she could imagine. Around them, countless other ’Heavenly Elental Spirits born from the laws of fire’ waited in anticipation.
A few hours later, the skies of the planet vibrated with the arrival of thousands of High Elders, and one of their voices resonated:
"The registration is over. Now, we will send all those who bear the mark of the God. The explanations have already been given, but I will add one thing: this recruitnt exam will be unique in history, and even I envy your luck."
Everyone on the ground’s eyes widened. The High Elder snorted and continued: "I can’t say much, just complete the base of the Sacred Dao perfectly. Those who find the path and have enough destiny, the opportunity will co, and you will be rembered forever in the future. I wish you good luck. Now, go!"
With his final words, everyone felt a powerful spatial force pulling them, and within seconds, they vanished.
