Chapter 14 - Body, Spirit, Mind

"…..Create…..God"

'Yes, spirit beasts as you know have 5 stages - 10 years, 100 years, 1000 years, 10.000 years and finally 100.000 years but that is not all. Spirit Beasts are able to reach a higher stage which is the 1.000.000 year. At this stage we break through the mortal shackles and become Gods. My cultivation was different from those normal beasts where I relied on various treasures to reach my current rank, so essentially I am not what an actual million year old spirit should be like and am much weaker and also didn't achieve godhood.

So with all my intelligence I devised a plan to live further which is to become a humans spirit ring and live on. Similar to spirit beasts, humans are also said to have the chance to become gods once they reach the 99th rank and breakthrough into the 100th rank. Though I'm not sure how much this is true and have never witnessed it, this is my only hope'

"I see… though I'm not sure if I'll be able to reach the 100th rank, I will try my best to do so. This would be my repayment…..no my gratitude for your sacrifice"

Listening to his words Daydream just gave a slight smile on his face, he was truly relieved that Tang San had not misunderstood his intentions and was really happy about his choice of choosing him.

Right now he didn't directly absorb the Golden Blood of Life and was testing out his new found body, he felt it was a little weird as there was a huge and drastic improvement in such a short time, he knew that it would take some time to get used to his new body.

He circulated the Forbidden Heaven Technique and felt that it flowed extremely smoothly compared to before, he saw that even if he didn't circulate it willingly the Technique was automatically executed by his body though at a much slower pace, it wouldn't show any effects now but over time it would eventually add on and become apparently significant.

He then took out the Golden Blood of life and the Gold of Life, the Golden Blood of Life was a fruit which was completely golden in color but it was said that once it was eaten the insides were a deep red in color. This fruit had to be eaten in one sitting preferably all at once as once bitten the fruit would literally start bleeding and eventually die out.

Using this fruit would improve his blood, blood essence and all his inner organs. It would also give the user a regenerating body, even if he had lost a limb he could grow it out in the future with sufficient energy. It would also increase his lifespan to a great extent.

The Gold of Life on the other hand was a special metal which appears to have life but it doesn't possess intelligence, it would be a great ore to craft anything as it is known to break down all the metals known to man. This could also be used in another way which was to improve his mind sea giving it a great life power and if used together with Golden Blood of Life then both their capabilities would increase to a great extent.

He first took in the Golden Blood of Life and cut it exactly in half, this was the only way to absorb it, the middle segment where the seed was had a thin separating layer which prevented it from being wasted. He also had to eat the seed as it contained a huge amount of yang energy and would improve his reproductive system.

Of course, this process could be easily completed with the help of his Red God's Eye as it was already in the second level - Detailed.

After cutting the fruit in half he placed both the halves into his mouth and before he chewed it he took the Gold of Life and brought it near his forehead, his Samsara Eye was automatically released after sensing the Gold of Life, he felt that there would be a drastic change in the spirit after this process.

Soon the Gold of Life was floating above his forehead and was just standing still, he readied himself and as soon as it got close to his skull he bit upon the two pieces of the fruit in his mouth.

As he did that the two pieces completely burst apart and a blood-like liquid flowed through his throat, at the same time the Gold of Life was penetrating his skull and was shaking his mind sea. But his Samsara Eye was slowly absorbing the Gold of Life without leaving a single drop.

These two processes were completely changing his body, his blood was now having a thin, a very thin gold coloring and his Samsara Eye was now going through a second awakening to his surprise. But to him, the only thing there existed was pain, the pain of his head being split apart and the pain due to the pressure caused by his blood which made him feel like his body would burst apart any moment.

Due to the Nine Heart's Lotus and 81-Petals Buddha Lotus his body had undergone a drastic change and the Golden Blood of Life improved one's body depending on the strength of their body and meridians this ay he had obtained the maximum benefits of this Herb.

When the Gold of Life had completely been absorbed by the Samsara Eye, it released a strong life energy into his body and reacting to this the Golden Blood of Life increased its effects even further. His body which was being strained previously was now at a stage where he felt that he would break.

He had used up most of his emergency reserves and needed time to recover, he didn't use anything else as it was required for his second ring which he would get in the Far North.

Tang San was lying on the ground with blood flowing from all parts of his body, if anyone saw him they would be shocked. Due to the Nine Heart's Lotus and 81-Petals Buddha Lotus his body had formed a thick layer of filth but now due to the Golden Blood of Life and Gold of Life his entire body was covered by an entire layer of deep red blood.

It was even surprising to say that he was alive,

'Tang San are you fine??'

"… I'm…. fine….. just… tired"

'That's good to hear, it looks like you've succeeded in the process. You should look at your Mind Sea right now, its overflowing with a huge amount of life even your entire body has changed. I can feel an intense aura from it. Your body's healing, no it should be regeneration now, has increased to a great extent. I dare say what you are now, with such a strong body, spirit and regeneration you've put even monsters to shame.

As expected of three heavenly herbs, even your mind sea had been improved but unfortunately none of your spirits have undergone a second awakening as you said despite all the three processes. But don't worry I can see that even though they haven't undergone a change they have still been improved and may even be on the verge of doing so.'

"I… see. I'll have to rest for now….. I'll talk later"

After the three processes he was now at his absolute limit and had fainted in the end.

One week later,

After the process he had slept through an entire week, with the three day absorbing the herbs he was now only half a week away from the actual vacations.

He had absorbed the three herbs continuously due to which the strain on his body had increased a great deal, this lead to him fainting for nearly an entire week.

Now after he had woken up he saw that the previous filth and blood on his body was now almost hardened up, he went to a nearby river to wash himself up. Even the smell coming from his body was too unbearable that he had to wash his body before doing anything else.

He had to nearly wash his body 10 times before he could remove the filth and smell from it. He saw that his body now had a white tone to it and was extremely smooth, his black hair now grew up to his shoulders and had a slight shine to them, his eyes were still in a black and red tone due to his Red God's Eye.

He could also feel that his bone structure on his face and body had improved a great deal along with his muscles and nerves. Since he was still a 6-year-old it wasn't too visible yet but he would surely grow into a handsome man later on.

He felt that even his blood was now filled with energy, overall he felt great.

'Well you're now almost as handsome as me, don't you think??'

"….."

He didn't know how to respond to the unexpected comment from Daydream. He didn't really pay much attention to that but he couldn't deny what Daydream said.

"I'll leave once after meeting Xiao Wu, in Nuoding City. I know that she would also be going back home so it would be better to let he know that I'm safe"

'About Xiao Wu, I'm not sure if you know but…'

"She's a spirit beast is that what you wanted to say??"

'You knew??'

"Well sort of actually, but even I wasn't too sure until I awakened my Samsara Eye but that doesn't change anything I still love he like my sister and that would never change"

'Only like you sister??'

"Think whatever you want, I don't care"

'Well, let it be it's better to concentrate on cultivation for now'

…

"You look like you're having fun Xiao'er"

"Brother San, I'm glad that you're doing well, its so boring without you here why didn't you take me with you??"

"I was sick, so how could I take you with me??"

"Fine I'll accept that but you have to take me the next time you go home, I won't be able to come this year since I have to go back home….."

"Your mother will be alright so don't worry about her okay, I'm sure she wants that too"

"Brother, what if someday and I mean what if someday someone tries to kill me and is after my life. What will you do??"

"…Well that is an odd question but if that does ever happen, then I'll tell them that they would have to do so over my dead body. I'll never let anything ever happen to you, you're my little sister after all and its my job to protect you"

Hearing his words tears came up over Xiao Wu's eyes and she just hugged him for a long time.

…

He only had a little information about this place and that this was where Oscar went to train after the Continental Tournament. He also found out that Daydream was also from the far north and had come to Star Dou in search of ways to breakthrough his bottleneck.

It took him nearly two weeks before he reached this place, he went in the direction Brother Daydream told him, he was only able to last in this place due to his strong body and with Daydreams help.

He checked his status for now as he was sure to get his second ring soon

He along with Daydream found a cave nearby so they decided to rest here.

'This looks far enough, Tang San I'll not be able to help you bear with the cold but with your body and Qi you should be able to hold out for quite a while so don't worry about anything'

"I'm fine with that but what exactly do you want to do??"

'Hehe, you'll see in a while'

Then a gold light flew out of Tang San's head and formed a figure looking just like him except he was a little older, around 12-years-old or so. He then sent out his spiritual sense in the near by region.

'Jade Empress, I know that you can sense my energy come out and face me, Tian Meng'

After a while the sky's colour changed to a jade green and a threatening voice came out,

"Tian Meng, you're still alive"

'Bing Bing, I'm so glad to see you again my love'

When Tang San heard that he finally understood why he was so eager to come here, the Jade Empress was Daydreams crush and that was the reason he wanted her to become his second spirit ring.

"Tian Meng, do you think that I can't find you if you're not showing you're real body and using your spirit avatar to talk to me?? Since your spirit avatar is here then your real body must also be nearby. You better hope that I don't find you"

'Well that was harsh but it's not like I don't want to talk to you with my real body but it's more like I can't'

"I don't know what you want to do but don't think that you'll be leaving here alive"

'Well looks like I have no choice, Bing Bing you forced me to do this'

He then let out a golden light from his finger and enveloped her whole body she didn't even have the time to react and was completely surrounded by the light and flew straight towards Tang San's forehead.

'Tang San, the Jade Empresses clansmen will soon surround this place once they've noticed that the presence of the Jade Empress has disappeared'

"Alright I got it. We should leave immediately from this place, just keep giving me directions"
