Chapter 2245 - Ultimate Awe
The being looked like it was tens of thousands of meters tall. Compared to Tianming, it was completely massive, but even it paled in comparison to the viridian ocean. No doubt, some aspect of turning the body into a microcosm was embodied by this phenomenon. Could the giant before him be a true astral god of some sort?
As Tianming’s imagination ran wild, he found that the giant's glow began to fade, starting from its right pinky finger. After it faded, the hundred-meter finger turned into flesh and blood, complete with nails and fingerprints. It was pale, shiny, slender, and as immaculate as a woman's. Eventually, the rest of the body lost its glow as well, apart from the head, which was orbited by countless green stars.
"Thankfully, a bee head didn't appear, or it'd ruin the beauty of every part below the neck...." As a sky plunderer that stole secrets time and again, Tianming was used to seeing mystical sights like this, so he was able to keep his cool no matter what he was shown. He opened his mind and looked directly at the ten-thousand-meter-tall beauty.
"How majestic! This formation...." He was completely awestruck. He was nothing but an ant compared to the giant.
"Senior, I don't know who you are, but I’m brimming with respect for you. Your ultimate awe deserves my complete submission!" He bowed deeply to the giant. If that being wanted to do him any harm, there was nothing he could do about it.
After his bow, he looked up once more. The giant's glowing head was right before his eyes, casting green on his entire field of vision. The light even shone through his bones. Tianming seemed rather nervous. The next instant, a giant palm closed in around him like he was a mere bug.
"Senior, please be gentle...." Only his caelum had entered this realm, so he wasn't really nervous about it. Even so, being grabbed so helplessly like a lower lifeform like that was scary to say the least.
The being didn't say a single word and merely brought his caelum closer to her, or rather to her hundred-meter-tall twin peaks.
"What are you doing?!" His world turned black when he fell into the deep valley.
"Huh?" He was stuck. "This... what the...." He was so embarrassed that he wanted to puke. What in the world did the being want to do?!
Fortunately, his surroundings were soon illuminated by the green light once more. The humanoid thing seemed to have turned into an astral object again, losing its previous form and surrounding Tianming's caelum.
"Senior?" There was nothing but infinite green around him. Countless stars shot past his surroundings. As he was at an utter loss, a snow-white pinky finger emerged from the stars and touched his forehead. He felt like he was being filled to the brim as both his body and his caelum's eyes opened uncontrollably!
"How’s this happening?!" It was something he’d never experienced since he started cultivating. The moment the green light from the finger flooded toward him, his divine wills underwent explosive growth! Even if he was looking through the caeli of seniors in the seventh level of the Caeli Vault, he had to do it step by step by exploring their nest-like order. However, a single touch from the giant sent him flying by leaps and bounds! He didn't even need to comprehend anything and his divine wills still grew!
"This must be what Xiaoxiao's growth feels like!" He finally understood why she lacked confidence in herself. It felt completely hollow, yet his divine wills had truly made progress! Eventually, his caelum returned to his body as the universe in the vision collapsed and he found himself back in the dark cave.
"Phew...." It was all over. He stared at his hand in a daze, finding his pinky finger still there. But when he tried to use his left hand to unlock it, it no longer worked.
"What could that have been?" He had no explanation at all, and he couldn't talk about it, either, because the whole of Ebonia was paying attention to him during the event. He had to keep a tight lid on all the questions and couldn't even ask Lin Lele about them. Thankfully, neither she nor the spectators had noticed any change in him.
He took a deep breath and communicated with his lifebound beasts using telepathy. "What do you guys think that was?"
The six of them simply regarded him blankly. Xian Xian quickly carved some text into a branch that read, 'Report to Ling'er as soon as possible that Li Tianming saw a naked female body!'
"Come, tell me, do you feel any guilt or shame at all?" Ying Huo sneakily asked.
"Boss, do you think my dragon heads would look good around her neck?" Lan Huang wondered.
Lastly, Tianming noticed that Yin Chen was up to something. "What’re you doing?"
"I told... Ling'er about... the text... Xian Xian... just carved," it proudly said.
Tianming roared with anger. "Forget it, I'll stop looking into this. My divine wills grew a lot, so I have to stabilize their levels. Now, let's cultivate!"
He took a seat and channeled their symbiotic cultivation codexes. Nova source flooded into his body and soon allowed him to break through to the fourth level of the Stellaminors stage. His divine wills had grown so much that he managed to make a breakthrough, even though his last one was merely days ago. If it weren’t for the hollow feeling he felt, he would have wanted to see if he could reach the fifth level right away. Either way, he had managed to get a taste of what it felt like to cheat even though he was normally a stickler for the proper rules of cultivation.
"If only I could have a few more of those fingers," Tianming said.
"Do you really want the fingers? Or is it something else you want?" Ying Huo teased, lying on its wings like they were pillows.
"Enough!" Tianming glared at it before secretly getting Yin Chen to expand its surveillance to locate anything that could be similar or related to the green skeletons.
