They continued to eat as they relished the mont together. After they've had their fill of the food and had the rest put away, Zhang Xiu Ying called the attention of her parents.
"Father, mother, there's sothing I want to show you."
The demigod sat down at the table and her parents followed suit. She reached into her spatial sac and retrieved the Fla Essence spirit fruit. She placed at the center of the table as she glanced towards her parents.
"A spirit fruit?"
Zhang Li Qiang and Zhang Wang Jing stared curiously at the red fruit. They could sense the high energy coming from the red fruit. As farrs, they knew the differences among the fruits. Back in their ho village on the continent of Kaifeng, they were, once, farming dicinal fruits. The low-grade Red-Water dicinal fruits, used to nourish the blood's life-force. And this, was nothing compared to the lowest-grade Spirit-Fruits.
"Yes. It's the Fla-Essence spirit fruit."
"I've never seen one with this high energy before."
" neither."
Spirit fruits were much more rarer, expensive and consod more significant ti and effort than dicinal fruits. dicinal fruits could take between five and twenty years to be ready while spirit fruits could take hundreds of million of years to ripe. But one thing about the two types of fruits was that, each type was grouped according to their gradings. With this high energy coming from the fruit, it would be nothing short of a high-grade spirit fruit.
"I believe it's because of its pure essence of fire."
The two continued to stare in abject shock at the red fruit. This was no common fruit that could be found easily on the mortal plain. How did their daughter co into possession of it? Zhang Wang Jing turned to her daughter in utter surprise.
"How did you co across this, Xiu Ying?"
"It was only by chance."
Zhang Xiu Ying recapped what happened to them. From the mont she sensed Ju Feng to the mont she picked the fruit in the garden of the Jade emperor's forsaken palace. Everything he relayed to them including what happened inside the spaceti palace, except a tiny little part.
"Since I've already ford my golden core, you have more need of the fruit than . So, I want the two of you to have it."
Recollecting the words of the fairy as she left the forsaken palace, Zhang Xiu Ying knew she couldn't afford to advance any further if she wanted to avoid early tribulations. It was true that demigods didn't undergo heavenly tribulations, but that was only true for demigods born on the Luminence Dinsional plane. But for Zhang Xiu Ying, she was born on the mortal plane. Her life essence was connected to the mortal plane until she attain ascension to the heavenly plane.
"Is that really necessary, Xiu Ying?"
"I an, we can make do with a spirit fruit but you need it more than us."
"Don't worry about it, mother, father. As I said earlier, I no longer have use for it. Please, accept it from ."
After staring at his daughter for a mont, Zhang Li Qiang nodded his head in agreent.
"If it's as you said, then we accept. We cannot thank you enough, Xiu Ying."
"It's alright, father. It's only a spirit fruit."
Zhang Wang Jing, lightly squeezed 's hand as she looked at her.
"Thank you."
"Nothing to it, mother. It's the least I can do."
After much hesitation, her parents finally divided the spirit fruit into two, each taking a half. In great anticipation, they ate their shares of the fruit before proceeding towards the pond area. They sat down in lotus position and started ditating, using the Soul-Pith technique which was a mystical technique. Mystical techniques focused on the elents inside the Chi essence. The Fla-Essence fruit was a fire elent fruit, hence, they had to use the Soul-Pith technique instead of the Astral-Primal technique.
The importance of mystical elents couldn't be emphasized enough. They had direct connection to the soul of a cultivator through the Chi essence. The nature and appearance of the nascent soul would reflect the mystical elents of the cultivator. The more a cultivator advances in the mystical arts, the more conditioned the soul would beco for cultivation.
As they continued to ditate, they started to feel the power of the fruit's energy growing stronger in their core. Then, all of a sudden, a red flaming essence materialized around Zhang Li Qiang. The essence continued to get denser and thicker until it finally encased Aodh in a cocoon. Few minutes later, Zhang Wang Jing too was covered in a cocoon of flaming essence.
The demigod, who was sitting on the knoll-top, looking at her parents, smiled widely at their transformations. This would make their mystical arts much more stronger than before. Their ancestral mystical art was the Infernal beast technique. Zhang Xiu Ying, rembering her own nascent soul creation of a tall figure cladded in feathered armor with large flaming phoenix wings, could only wait in anticipation. They wouldn't form their nascent souls this day, they would have to advance to the nascent soul stage first. Their conditioned souls would make that easier.
"However..."
She frowned at the thought of their impending tribulations inorder for them to reach the nascent soul immortality. For now, they would have to take their cultivation slowly until they were fully prepared for the heavenly tribulations.
"They would be ready."
Zhang Xiu Ying spoke out softly into the dark night, nodding her head. She was about to lowered her head when she saw the flaming essence converged on her father before dispersing outwardly.
Her father floated into the midair before executing the Heavenly Dragon Stance move of his Dragon-Inferno technique. A bit surprised, Zhang Xiu Ying was still staring at the manifested move when her mother's cocoon of flaming essence was dispersed too. Her sight was grazed by powerful energy coming from the manifested flaming giant eagle claws.
Titan's torso!
