Then his ntal sense erupted and rippled out like huge tidal waves caused by an angry tsunami. Min Hong was stunned by the massive, torrential and potent nature of his ntal strength.
He wondered how strong this guy truly was from the side-line as more and more ntal power began to ripple out of him.
Then shortly afterwards, Min Hong began to hear a droning sound echo from deep within this dinsion. Whatever this 'baby' was, was approaching at a breakneck speed that would be at least a hundred tis faster than Elder Yun at her peak.
In less than five breaths, Min Hong saw a golden streak whistle over. He was shocked when he found out what it was.
It was a slender but thick golden staff of about six foot in length, it looked intricately handcrafted from the way it was shaped and designed, there were also several ancient runes etched all over it.
It was currently spinning around Little Wu who was currently caressing it and calling out various sweet nas that would put a professional sweet talker to sha.
The staff also made so homing sounds in response to these flirtations.
Then Little Wu abruptly jumped upwards and flipped twice on air, then descended butt-first. But just as he reached about a few feet off the ground, the staff slanted itself horizontally as he perfectly sat on it.
Then he flipped his wrist and a fruit appeared in his hands which he began to munch seemingly out of habit.
Min Hong saw this fruit and couldn't help but instinctively gulp a mouthful of saliva. Sothing within him kept telling him that, should he take a bite of that fruit, he might directly advance into the Qi Sea stage of cultivation.
The fruit was about the size of a full-grown adult's fist, it was sky blue in color with about five silver lines snaking across its body in a spiral pattern.
The sheer amount of potent ancient aura radiating from the fruit was not sothing he could turn a blind eye to.
Seeing this, Little Wu bit off one part of the fruit and spat it on the floor nearby as he turned his back towards Min Hong and spoke. "It is ti to get that despicable thing out of your main Mind Palace and put it sowhere less dangerous."
The hovering staff carried the carefree Sun Wukong forward as Min Hong followed him from behind, before quickly picking up the little portion of the fruit Little Wu spat out earlier.
Just as he was about to throw it into his mouth, Little Wu's voice drifted from his front. "if you don't have anything you care about anymore in this world, and you want a quick death then you can eat it."
"What do you an, is it that scary to eat it?" Min Hong asked.
"For soone of your current soul power, you will surely never awaken from eating the 'Soul Churning Fruit'. Even I dare not eat more than three in a month. That little shard would be more beneficial to that owl of yours for now." Little Wu warned.
"Then rather than feeding scraps, using terms of unknown origins and calling my world 'Mundane' why don't you give sothing to help recover and advance my strength." Min Hong refuted, sowhat displeased and frustrated at the sa ti.
Since he had started cultivation, this short period of about five days has been the longest he had ever felt powerless and helpless. He had also felt hope when he heard about the inheritance within this dinsion and the only person who had any information about it wasn't taking him seriously.
"What do you think I am? A fool?" Little Wu turned and faced Min Hong with a sowhat angry expression.
"No matter how strong I am, within in this place, if you don't grow strong enough to forge a physical body, I can only dream of achieving true freedom from this shitty place."
"Moreover, if you were to die, this damn dinsion would have to seal up once again till another person who shows compatibility with the 'Eye of Myriad Universe' appears. Do you know how long that took before you ca around? 7000 years!"
"I have been sealed in this place for 7000 years! I also have a family you know, and even if I am an immortal, I still have family you know. My brothers, sisters and friends don't even know where I currently am!"
Little Wu blurted out a few grievances, but when he saw the unapprehensive expression on Min Hong's face, he gave up.
"Never mind. I wanted you to have a very stable foundation before allowing you to go take the inheritance test, or else you will just end up like your unlucky predecessors."
"Furthermore, there are so many things about true cultivation that your mundane world knows little to nothing about. But I will explain everything to you, so you can know the difference between your goals before and after you understand the ancient path of cultivation."
"Your previous cultivation and its foundation were pretty diocre and the so-called tragic event that happened to you recently might not be as tragic as you thought it to be" Little Wu spoke softly.
"Do you speak this way because you have been locked out of civilization for a long ti or because you just want to adapt to your ancient accent? Moreover, what do you an by the deaths of my family not being as tragic as I thought it to be?" Min Hong fud.
"Oi! Little Punk! If I told you everything at once your brain might dry up and then you beco redundant. A little at a ti, but I will surely explain everything I know to you. In fact, you might end up catching up with the rest on your own." Little Wu responded.
"But firstly, that thing is a ticking tibomb. Though it would be useful to your cultivation in the future, you are not strong enough to resist or control it yet. And since I can't do that for you, the best option would be to seal it up until further notice." He added.
"What do I need to do?" Min Hong beca serious at this point. He takes anything that has to do with his wellbeing solemnly, and this situation was one of them.
"I will handle the majority of everything that needs to be done. But since you're in absolute control of your sea of consciousness, you will need to open the part of your Mind Palace where it would be sealed from now henceforth." Little Wu replied.
After finalizing their plans, Little Wu shut the Ancient door as they both approached the scarlet seed. Then Little Wu bellowed at it.
"Oi, stop pretending to be dormant. We both know you're just as aware as everyone in here. This is my lair and it is ti for you to move over to your permanent residence. If you calmly oblige then all of it would be over in a bat of an eyelid."
"But, if you choose to go down the other path, it will not only end in the sa outco, but you might be needing a way longer recovery ti. So, how do you want this go down?" as he spoke a golden light began to radiate out of Little Wu's body.
The golden glow covered his entire body and his staff as a unique, mysterious and ancient aura descended and weighed down within the dinsion.
This aura wasn't like the one Min Hong's body was constantly absorbing. This one seed to originate from within Little Wu's bloodline.
It exuded valiance, strength, righteousness and justice. In fact, all the properties Min Hong was sensing from this aura were a stark contrast to its behavior and attitude.
"So, the little kid has chosen you for now, unh?" a voice drifted out of the scarlet seed as it also swelled in size and morphed into a human form.
The form this Demon King took was that of a human male, about the sa age as Little Wu, just as handso as he is.
But, while little Wu's handsoness radiated a feeling of playfulness and naivety, that of the Demon King was devilish and cunning.
They both currently look like two extrely handso teenagers where one had a playful, unrestrained and extrovert kind of aura around him and the other had a solitary, calm and introvert kind of aura about him.
They both had vibes that were stark opposite in nature.
"You both will still need and eventually co to . So, there's no point in making this matter any difficult. Little kid, we will be eting soon!" The Demon King's handso figure smiled faintly before he returned to his scarlet seed shape and lied dormant once again.
"What did he an by that, and why can't he just stay in his human form?" Min Hong furrowed his brows as he asked.
He had been feeling increasingly uncertain about these two unreliable fellows within his sea of consciousness.
One was a demon he knows nothing about and the other was a monkey he knew very little about.
But, after recalling his plan of pitting them both against each other, he suppressed his helpless situation.
After all, the only reason why he was feeling this way was because he was weak and had no power to control them both.
But, soon he would have just what he needed to do just that, and by that ti, this current feeling he had would naturally lt away.
Little Wu approached the scarlet seed and created a golden ball of light on his palms which the scarlet seed willingly darted into. He then turned to Min Hong and spoke. "Now!"
The mont Min Hong heard that, he grabbed Little Wu by the shoulder and they both vanished. By the ti they reappeared, they were already in front of the carbon-copy version of Min Tian's residence within his Mind Palace.
They vanished once again and reappeared within the residence. It was just like the real one, from the furniture to the number and locations of the different rooms.
After arriving within a place which seed like a study, Little Wu then retracted the golden ball of light as the scarlet seed moved to a dark corner within the room and rged into the darkness.
"For beings who have yet to form their saint soul, taking a human form would require using their bloodline abilities or high-level techniques, which in both cases uses a large amount of Qi. So, most would rather appear in their true form or take the simplest and crudest form they know, which consus next to zero amount of energy."
"As for the reason behind the last part of his statent, I will naturally tell you when the ti is right." Little Wu answered Min Hong's earlier questions before adding. "Enough questions, it is ti to get down to your part of the situation."
They once again vanished, but this ti they reappeared within Min Rou's residence which was where Min Hong's futon hovered. There were bookshelves all over the entire wall of this room, with a hovering futon at the center and table that looks very similar to that of 'King Yama' in front of it. (see chapter 3)
Within these shelves were seven books aligned next to each other, and when one moves closer to look at their titles, one would be shocked to notice that, they were the sa seven techniques that Min Hong had previously trained in.
Apparently, the one that were destroyed were their imperfect versions, whilst the ntal copies of the perfect versions were all here.
Maybe they were preserved within the 'Eye of Myriad Universe' or they were just the ntal manifestation of the ones he had read.
They were the; [Rain Dragon ridians], [Jade Primal Dragon Body], [Chaotic Shadow Steps], [Song of the Wind Spirit], [Eight Vengeful Palms], [Art of Myriad Seals] and [Imperial Willow Fist] (which was the coinage of the 'Willow Leaf Palm' and 'Imperial Descent' See chapter 38).
Seeing this, Little Wu couldn't help but feel utterly impressed by the sheer attention to details Min Hong exhibited when constructing the entire Mind Palace. In fact, he had never seen a Mind Palace this intricate and very hard to navigate without the help of its owner.
Furthermore, the harder it is to navigate one's Mind Palace, the harder it is to damage such one's mind and soul.
Moreover, Min Hong's Mind Palace was heavily fortified and if one should include the additional protection of the energy barrier that guarding it, it would be a huge feat for experts under the Saint stage to affect his mind and soul.
"Your ntal strength is already in the Beginner level of the Earthly Stage. If your soul could also get to this level, you should have a tiny increase in percentage of accepting the inheritance." Little Wu spoke.
"You need to absorb more of the residual aura of the ancient seal so as to strengthen the foundation of your body, mind and soul. Then after all these had been achieved, I will explain the path of the Ancient Worlds, their Cultivation System and other rules that guide one towards the top of the food chain of the Ancient Worlds."
"When I am done explaining all these to you, then you can decide to tell if this dinsion is even worth ntioning or if I was wrong to label it 'Mundane'." He added.
"After that, I will explain the abilities of the 'Eye of Myriad Universe' or the 'Eye of Infinite Dao' like experts within the Ancient World like to call it and the process of acquiring it."
"Then when you have the key, I would then explain how to go about the inheritance test. Since every successful candidate were made to swear an oath not to divulge anything about the inheritance test, I would have to prepare you for the possible worst-case scenario."
"Putting aside your strong soul compatibility and power, which was the main factor for fusing with the clone of the 'Eye of Myriad Universe' in the first place. You must also possess strong ntal power, which was one of the reasons why creating a Mind Palace was very important step for you."
"Lastly, when you finally acquire your inheritance, I will teach you the effective order of which you are to comprehend all the Universal Laws, so you won't need to wander around aimlessly and waste valuable ti." Little Wu gave Min Hong an overview on how his cultivation journey would look like.
