It was pretty dark right now, and I honestly didn't feel like explaining to both Liang Yu and YuYu what had happened earlier, not that I had done anything wrong, but try and explain to a woman that you're not wrong and you'll be the one saying sorry by the end.
I've decided to take my leave and go on a lonely walk to calm my mind.
I took several Ancient Steps and was away from the Heavenly Academy's housing area in almost no ti.
Under the gaze of the moon, the fresh calm breeze of a sumr night. I was able to calm myself and slowly think of what went on.
I've thankfully managed to obtain so good treasures from the venture I just went through, though it wasn't all too easy. I learned many things, such as the full Ancient Martial art, the Fist of Roaring Ki, and then gained this new body that is far firr, stronger, and faster by all ans and it can only grow in power.
All thanks to the hidden treasure of the Ancient Sect, sect master, The Golden Titan, one of the few great powers of the Vast Expanse.
He had taught himself, and I gained knowledge and ability far beyond what anyone has the right to. I'm blessed and I acknowledge it. Not to ntion I've gained one of the very few and rare mounts that belonged to one of the superpowers that used to rule the vast expanse in ancient tis. Though It's in terrible condition, nothing short of a few weeks of work can't fix.
The Dark Beast is also a good addition, though I'll probably have a hard ti making it survive in light, I'll try and find a good use for it. Now, this is all good and fine, but I'm still worried about many things.
I moved until I found a small rock standing alone atop a low hill.
I sat crosse legged and resud my thoughts.
With the Heavenly Academy backing , I'm sure I'll be able to propel my knowledge and prows to higher levels in half the ti and effort it would take anyone else. Not to ntion the fact that I'll be taught by the academy's best teachers. Siphoning knowledge and understanding of people of age and wisdom is a great way to increase my own knowledge.
The issue remains, however, of the danger of the very thing that brought all the way here.
The book of the poison god, The Poison God's Heritage.
A book, a curse disguised in a blessing. Which beca more obvious now.
There harbored the remains of two of the Poison God's own followers, people who followed a man that was once considered a genius, a mad man, a killer, and oftentis, a just person if that is even possible.
The words of the Poison God's Heritage, all of them have yet to speak of a man of a crazed nature. All the teachings and knowledge within this book lead the person to believe that the Poison God is a benevolent master and teacher. But the terror he left in the world before his passing and the carnage and chaos he left whenever he went through is a clear indicator that either whoever wrote the book and the poison god are two different people. Or that everyone in the world has a clear misconception of the Poison God's antics.
I am not such a petty person to take the Poison God's knowledge, power, and his grace upon , saving from the pits of death and leading all the way to where I am, then call him a vile foul person.
I would be nothing but an ungrateful bastard, the sa as my own children.
I have benefited a lot, to which I am thankful, but I will not be corrupted or corroded by the Acolytes living in this book.
For whatever reason, my soul power is far greater than anyone I've ever t, and perhaps, it is the reason why these vile Skulls, these acolytes never managed to corrupt . But, even a rock can be broken with a drop of water, if pressed on long enough.
I cannot just blindly trust my own will and believe that I will forever remain master of my own thoughts, thus, I need to grow stronger and find a way to either rid myself of these skulls, or make sure, that they are no longer a problem to .
The Poison God's trial is sothing I need to challenge in the near future. It should hold the secret to the Poison God's complete Heritage, and the remains of a man who once terrorized the vast expanse. With all of his secrets unfolded in front of , I should be able to capitalize on his knowledge, and either make use of his acolytes or outright remove them if they proved to be a threat to my wellbeing.
With my convictions set, I took a breath, there was sothing I needed to do earlier but never had the ability to do so in the depth of the Under-Void.
I began galvanizing my cultivation, agitating it and roiling it to bursting levels. And soon a shocking powerful wave of energy blasted from around . Declaring to the world that I took another step towards the peak.
And with this step, a few changes happened to .
The first was the soul. My Nascent Soul, which turned into a true Soul after I had reached the Soul Formation level, is now what we can call a complete soul since I had finally set foot in the Soul Transformation level.
The small scales that used to randomly grow on my Soul, seed to take a definite shape this ti. They grew like a reptile's scale all over the soul's skin, then once they took their defined and final shape, they sunk inside, hiding away and leaving nothing but pure human skin.
The soul's eyes, however, had changed from normal green eyes to those with draconic slits, sharp of sight, and cold as ice.
The Soul's form didn't change much, but I could see that it beca far more condensed, far more...physical for the lack of any other world.
Then ca the body, my already improved body thanks to the Stone Aged Milk seed to be on the verge of breaking, only for even purer looking skin to appear from underneath the old broken shell.
The skin's pale tone was still there, yet for so reason, it seed to be glistening under the light of the moon. While the well-chiseled muscles of this old body of mine seed to define themselves far more.
My stature and posture seed to get corrected as the bones on my body felt as if they bent and snapped to take a firr sturdier shape. While every tendon and muscle fiber on felt as if it had been reconstructed anew.
My hair for whatever reason seed to grow longer as did my stature, and I didn't know if it was only the posture being corrected or if I had visibly grown slightly taller.
The occasional suffocating feeling within the back of my mind seed to slowly disperse and along with it went the headache that I was feeling throughout the day.
As if I was born anew, I felt that the world for a mont fully accepted .
Only for a mont though...
The world around seed to change. The cool night breeze stopped, and the grass that was slowly swaying seed to be frozen in ti.
The darkness of the night that was only lit by the moonlight seed to beco stronger.
And the white light reflected upon the moon's surface soon turned pink, then blood red before the world was completely covered in darkness.
Thunder roared in the high heavens as the skies were once again ordered to gather. Channeling the might of the Heavens and summoning once again, a gate as great as the world to appear in such a small place where I sat still.
A gate of gold, where the sculptures of warriors and dragons were but the decoration on it, seed to land in front of .
The gate's presence was enough to wake every soul in the Heavenly Academy, as it had co with a loud thundering boom that would rip a mortal's eardrums in a single beat. And it roared and roared, unable to accept the presence of a person so ready to face against the Heavenly Will.
The heavens were ready to smite those who defy it, with fire and lighting. And it was adamant about making everyone watch how the fate of those who defy would end.
That is of course if I were to cower and hide away, not if I were to raise my head in the challenge..
"It's ti, co," I spoke as my whole cultivation base seed to surge in power, blasting away in every direction.
