Chapter 191: 191. Spirit of the scroll
Somewhere in a secret chamber, shadows gathered there and they all were discussing something.
One of them spoke,
"By the decree of the emperor, we have to go and see what that place is and what treasure is born there. We must leave immediately."
"But can you tell me where that is?"
Another one retorted him and the voice became silent after hearing that.
Someone else spoke,
"From our spices, the Sky Jade Fort has the highest tremor among all the other forts. So, that place is nearest to the fort."
Others nodded when they heard that. After that they continued to discuss and one of them asked,
"What should we do then? We might not be the only one and there will also be strange creatures that will be searching for that place and we also have to defend against others."
Everyone became silent when they heard that. The one in the middle spoke,
"Let’s do one thing. First, we go and check the area. If there are really strange creatures then we must cooperate."
"But we must be cautious because the breath of Virelia is not the same as always."
Everyone nodded when they heard that.
After making the decisions, they all departed.
.....
In another chamber, the same discussions were happening and all came to the same decision. In this treasure seeking land, the humans are far more dangerous than the strange creatures.
But Jin was not aware of any of that. He was in a closed-door cultivation for now and Nox followed the same.
After this battle, Jin finally realised his weakness. He knew that the lord realm is not what he thought. Beside that, he also focused on his soul cultivation. His soul purity is already compared to an emperor realm expert and he comprehended a domain because of this.
Not just that, his domain shattered in that explosion but that also led him to some insights. Jin was focusing on breaking into the peak of the lord realm right now.
Nox was already at the peak of this realm but he is trying to perform the harmony and balance of Yin-Yang despite being able to do that freely. He is comprehending different moves from the nodes that will help him achieve the rule of Yin-Yang harmony and then he can enter the void realm.
Aion was not like them. He was inside the scroll and he has been refining it for the past two days. The time flow in the scroll is different from outside. Outside only one day has passed but inside this scroll two days have passed.
Despite sharing the same origin, Aion was still not able to refine this scroll because this is something that the previous time beast of the river of time has been refining it for so long and the will of the scroll is looking at him.
It was a phantom. It has a bull head with four pairs of horns on its forehead. His body is like an ancient lion with a tail like a dragon. It has two pairs of eyes and has six legs.
The will of this scroll is currently watching as Aion is refining the scroll. It didn’t disturb him because they shared the same origin otherwise the will might have already thrown him out.
But it seems to be isolated from outside for so long that it is continuously rambling nonsense.
"Why do you share the same origin as me?
I am sure that you are the next protector of the river of time. But why are you free not bound to the river of time?
Why are you not answering?
How much time has passed outside? I have been inside the scroll for so long that I don’t even know who I am.
Wait a minute, who am I? Why am I trapped inside this scroll?"
One of the reasons that Aion was not being able to refine this scroll was the chatterbox in front of him. He finally couldn’t take it anymore and opened his eyes.
The silver eyes looked at the phantom and a deep aura flashed for a moment. The will immediately quietened down as it gazed in those eyes and it became complete still.
Aion took this chance to refine the scroll.
Unknowing twenty days passed in this scroll and finally Aion refined this scroll and opened his eyes again with a smile. He then appeared in the outside world and the will of the scroll now able to condense itself outside became a spirit of the scroll.
It looked at everything with curiosity and then it looked at the two people in front of him. It floated near them and didn’t disturb them at all.
It rotated around Nox and muttered to himself,
"Such a foundation. Who is this lad? And he is in Yin and Yang but why did he now follow that path. Ah! He must be my disciple. After all, only I can train such a disciple."
The spirit spoke so righteously that Aion believed for a moment that Nox is the disciple of this spirit. Nox also opened his eyes and looked at the spirit in bewilderment.
He never saw such a creature and then he looked at Aion with a questioning gaze. But before he could speak anything the spirit exclaimed.
"Oh my! This place is heaven. I never expected that I would be able to see such a place after so much time passed. It seems that this disciple of mine is really something."
With that, the spirit finally looked at Jin and its expression twisted. Then it turned into horror.
"Who is this lad? Why does he carry the aura of that deadly snake? Could it be that he reincarnated into this child.
No. No. No. No.
I am sure that this is not possible. This aura is definitely something that belongs to that smelly snake but it has not reached his level. Is he descended from that snake?
Then I discovered something interesting."
Aion narrowed his eyes when he heard that. He looked at the spirit that was continuously revolving around Jin and his thoughts were unknown. Nox looked at the spirit with even more shock.
Aion was going to speak when he once again shut his mouth.
"This kid is comprehending. And it has reached a critical path. Hmm. He chose the ancient cultivation method.
Does he not know that this method is broken and there is no path after reaching that realm?
Alas! Such a fine seed is being ruined by following this method."
The spirit shook his head at the end of his voice like lamenting a dead person.
Aion became silent and the aura around him stilled completely. He looked at the spirit and he heard everything that the spirit spoke. He couldn’t take lightly anything related to Jin
Then, his aura burst out from him and the king crown appeared above his head with the divinity outflowing from him. He looked at the spirit and asked in a cold tone.
