….

In a dense forest where little yellowish grass with serrated edges filled the ground, which were decorated with strange flowers and weird trees, a small stream of blackish water flowed by a brook.

A strange serenity mixed with a nerving peace and stillness acquired the whole region.

A dim crimson spiritual force seed lay atop a blade of yellow grass, giving off spiritual force undulations and scanning the surroundings. Leylin admired the sight.

“This world! I could feel strange energy undulation and even the mere presence here enables me to the understanding something within myself. Like some sort of soul searching experience. Let’s name this world ‘Spirit Mark World, yeah that seems right!” Leylin was very expectant of this place, he was unbelievably lucky to find a plane without a protector, and he wasn’t even discovered. This take out lots of unnecessary trouble for him.

A complete different plane represented boundless top-grade resources, as well as much information regarding different dimensions. It was more than sufficient to make a Morning Star Magus go insane in envy.

When it came to places like this which held traces of life and were possible to reside in, Leylin believed that anyone would immediately hold no qualms and open the astral gate to arrive here, no matter the cost.

However, all this was much too early to Leylin. What he had opened up was merely a spiritual force channel that could not transport physical objects, much less his own body. That was a function of an astral gate, and still in the remote future for him.

“If this seed was formed from a common Crystal Phase spiritual force, it might have long since dissipated. Even though I cannot get away from the inevitable and eventual withering, it was good that I made some arrangements.” Leylin thought as suddenly the crimson spiritual seed turned foggy and emitted a luminescent glow, the spiritual seed grew and tuned into a humanoid figure of Leylin. Leylin has use his blood to acquire a body which is much better than being just a seed. The body was very illusionary and couldn’t be kept together for a long while though.

“This is just a temporary help, eventually due to the lack of energy it would wither away soon. I can only transmit information here, so what’s most valuable to me here would be the coordinates of this world, high-grade meditation techniques or information regarding the path to power.” Leylin now urgently wished for a high-energy energy creature to appear around him quickly.

This was merely a spiritual force seed even with the additional power it could only go so far, it doesn’t have the ability to cultivate and if it dissipated, then so be it. However, if he could make a trade with another party, that would be a frightful profit.

Even if it was just the simple exchange of information, that would be the most beneficial for him.

Ancient Magi had walked the path of glory through studying and imitating the paths of other worlds. If Leylin wished to restore the glory of the ancient era, he would definitely need to go along this road.

[Unable to determine world’s location.] Leylin wasn’t very upset because he knew that this would most certainly be the case. With the connection to his spell formation, he could feel that his spiritual force seed had reached a very remote area, and this connection was only faintly discernable, and seemed to be on the verge of breaking down.

There are few ways of sending out the coordinates, one of them being projection of a localising mark here. As long as it isn’t destroyed, it can send out waves of information infinitely, and then it would allow one to infer the coordinates. However, that’s impossible for now.

Leylin doesn’t have resources, time, proper preparation and anything that guarantee that the endeavor would be worth the effort. It would be wiser to fish for benefit now and gather as much as he could. If everything goes as planned he may achieve the coordinates as well.

How many benefits could be obtained from a new world? It was enough to cause Morning Star Magi to go crazy. Even Breaking Dawn Magi would go green in envy and work to obtain it! Before all that, what was needed were the coordinates.

This method of calculating the coordinates was very complicated. It could not be obtained so easily just by sending a spiritual force seed over. A series of meticulous, complicated calculations had to take place, as well as coordinating with the seed in that world. 

However, the seed was now unable to hold on for very long.

Being able to reach the Spirit Mark World was completely coincidental, and a repeat was highly unlikely.

“Well I guess I only got the good old fashioned grandpa route then.” Leylin laughed as he started to scan the area. At this point, Leylin could only bewitch the intelligent inhabitants here and get them to set up some sort of altar, which in actuality would be a coordinate projecting device. As long as the coordinates were confirmed, the Spirit Mark World would not be able to escape his grasp.

Since, Leylin’s spiritual force seed was not destroyed at the outer layer of the world. This meant that the Spirit Mark World lacked Magi who were at or above the Radiant Moon realm. At most, their highest battle might would be at the Morning Star realm, and therefore they lacked any defence!

“I have only 2-3 days to get the job done. If nothing else then at least I should be able to get the power system practice here.” Leylin started to increase the A. I. Chip area coverage and looking for signs of life. His spiritual force seed could not be replenished in the Spirit Mark World.

The moment it dissipated, it would be a complete loss. How could he take it without even gaining anything. This place is in his destiny, Leylin knows that whatever he gets now depends on his ability to think as well as luck.

For Leylin finding a World is a one in a ten thousand chance which was not so easily squandered. Lancy has already taken huge damage and had already been injured to a ridiculous point. Her fate also somewhat depends on Leylin expedition.

At this moment, Leylin’s brows twitched, “There’s something there!”

…  

Meanwhile, in the Spirit Mark World, Leylin’s spiritual force was walking around the dense forest, while one pale humanoid beings laid on the ground propping his upper body with the help of a tree by his back.

This creatures could somehow be said to look like human. This being had similar body to a human but it was extremely pale being the whitest skin color Leylin has ever seen in any person. This being had a very strange dull runic Mark on its face and it looked to be injured with blood trickling down it’s mouth.

Leylin could sense an extremely high energy radiating from him, if put in Magus terms it could easily match a Rank 2 Magus but it was fluctuating very severely.

“Since they have marks on their face, let’s call them the “Spirit Mark Race!” Leylin did not hesitate as he named this race, it was happy coincidence since he has already decided the name of the world and the race met the perfect characteristic of an initially somewhat clumsy and moody name.

The member of the spirit Mark race was breathing heavily as he took out some type of rainbow colored fruit while he mumered in a language that Leylin could not understand.

The language was not very odd sounding like being produced from an antenna or gut instead of being produced by the throat, but the information he could gather from this was still foreign to Leylin.

Even if he identified that information, Leylin still did not understand.

[Discovery of information regarding language of a different plane. Recording!] The A.I. Chip loyally intoned.

All methods of communication were definitely practical and universal. With enough samples, simulating them would merely be a question of time.

At this moment, Leylin noticed how pitiful the physical strength of this being was. It was comparable to that that of a few Level 2 or 3 Acolytes. Leylin couldn’t say for sure if it was just this particular individual or is it because of the injuries but it seemed very low.

“If this isn’t the usual standard in this world, then this physical strength must be pitifully low but this force field of energy it’s very threatening and it seems as if it could override my spiritual force if at the same quantity.” Leylin sighed, Leylin has extremely high knowledge in the matter of spiritual force so he could feel that the energy used by this creature was a bit overbearing compared to same level but against someone like him who can completely overpower the opposition with brute force it isn’t a troublesome matter. Leylin ordered the spiritual force seed to make a move.

“Hello!” Information in the ancient Byron language through spiritual force was transmitted into the minds of this Spirit Mark Race being.

“puatsbdj!”

The individual was obviously startled by the sound and immediately retreated, on its guard. It was clutching it’s injured area and looked at Leylin with confusion and alert.

“Byron language didn’t work.” Leylin sighed. The ancient Byron language is a languages governed by rules, and also one that is common to many worlds. Though Magi of the ancient era seemed to have taken over many dimensions, and forcefully implemented their language and words, the number of different worlds out there were like the countless stars in the sky. It was very possible for some to have been overlooked.

“Gravakshwbnk! ” The Spirit Mark Race being shouted as he retreated a bit by crawling, it’s eyes spewed fire and wrath but Leylin could read that it wasn’t directed at him rather somewhere else.

Leylin looked at the pitiful creature and smiled,”Hoh, this is interesting. I should try to use that, although it would cause the spiritual seed to disperse quickly it could be my only chance at well. It’s going to dissipate anyway. Any changes in the situation are better than none at all!”

*Buzz!* With Leylin’s control, the his spiritual force seed body began to vibrate, giving off a dim radiance.

This strange situation immediately attracted the attention of Spirit Mark beings. It eyes gathered in front of the Leylin and began to look at him with confusion. When it was trying to understand what is happening Leylin eyes shone in a purple hue as he used the Purple Demon Eyes. Leylin has used this at the expense of most of his expectancy on this world, he wanted to break into its consciousness and pry open all the secrets that he could, most importantly the meditation techniques of this world.

The wind whooshed on both sides, the scenes was blurring before the Spirit Mark Race members eyes, and Leylin had to recalculate the strength of this race. Even without being at full strength he was facing difficulties in breaking through the obstacles in the creature mind.

Tens of minutes later, Leylin successfully destroyed enough of its barrier and absorbed a large portion of information about this world. This person actually comes from a race called ‘Marksa-Mile’ but Leylin is going to stick with his own nomenclature, they are the dominating sentinel being here and there were lots of internal struggle. This one himself is called ‘Maroon’ and is a bastard child of a senior from a top level clan. He had a typical sad story which Leylin didn’t give two hoots about. What he cared about is the power system of this world which was — The Soul Cultivation.
