Chapter 2578 Fourth
Leonel could tell immediately that there was something inscribed within it, but he let Aina sink her mind into it first.
Several hours later, she came back up with a frown on her delicate brow.
"It's a technique called [Soul Reincarnation]. It feels like a very high level Spiritual technique, but humans shouldn't be able to execute it, unless..."
"Unless they have Soul Clairvoyance?" Leonel guessed.
Aina smiled and tossed the technique at him. He unceremoniously took a look at it as well, but unlike Aina, it only took him a few minutes to go through all of it.
When he pulled his mind out, he too had a frown on his face.
"Show off," Aina scoffed, causing him to laugh.
The technique allowed one to do exactly as it said, reincarnate the soul and return to a weaker state. But it was also highly dangerous. In fact, it could be said that only Aina and her father would have any sort of confidence in succeeding, and that was despite the fact it was a Spiritual technique.
What he was frowning about wasn't the danger, he felt that Aina had a near 100% certainty of succeeding. What really had him frowning was the fact it felt so similar to...
Leonel's hummed, feeling his mind churning something together.
This technique was basically a chance at a redo, returning to a weaker state to reforge your path while carrying the understandings you already had. But there were drawbacks even beyond the difficulty in succeeding without Soul Clairvoyance.
For one, Leonel clearly remembered all of his comprehensions, none of them had been forgotten. There were some other minor differences, but none were as important as this one alone.
'Are they unrelated? Is it just a coincidence? Maybe the methods are derivative of each other? But why did I have to be unconscious for one while the other is actively practiced? Weird...'
Leonel couldn't really understand it, but what he did know was that he and Miel weren't the only ones to have regressed in strength. His grandfather had almost certainly experienced the same.
Then Leonel thought about something else...
The one Lineage Factor that had yet to come back after he began to progress and entered the Fourth Dimension was his King's Might Lineage Factor.
Could it be related?
King's Might gave him so much control over the souls of others, could it be...?
It hit Leonel like a bolt of lightning, the simulations rampaging in his mind until he came up with one that had a better than 80% chance of being true.
If he was correct, that either Miel or his grandfather had spent a great deal of time in the Spirituals world, ending up with this technique.
One way or another, his grandfather got his hands on it and used it as a framework to create what could only be described as the fourth crown techniques of the Lineage Factor.
If in the past [Breathe], [Assimilate] and [Arise] had been alone at the top, he was willing to give this new method a seat along with them.
It was no wonder it wasn't in the Golden Tablet, his grandfather had created it.
It seemed that the old man was more impressive than Leonel gave him credit for.
