When Liu Feng opened his eyes, a colossal headache ensued. The last thing that happened... wait, what was the last thing that happened.
Liu Feng's memories were all scrambled. His mind was screaming, struggling to put everything together in the order that happened.
One thing was sure though. He was Liu Feng. Wait a minute! Wasn't he Gray Holton?
"I came to this world to clear it. I came to this body." he reconfirmed with himself. But when he was saying this, he felt a little weird. It was like he was just parroting what his memories stated, but they felt so foreign suddenly.
"I was facing that old man in the Xiantian stage." Liu Feng finally remembered what the last thing that happened was. He was facing that person, when all of a sudden, he lost his consciousness. His memories were invaded by the old man.
"But where is he?" he looked around, but the old man was no where to be found.
Whatever the old man did to him though, it messed with him. It just made him forget who he was essentially.
"I need to calm down." Liu Feng took a deep breath. Then, he started trying to collect all of his memories together, starting from the beginning.
"Wait a minute! What is the beginning? Where am I? Why do I feel like I was at two different places at once?" Liu Feng paused.
At that moment, something entirely different became clear. The reason why he was having this conflict of identity, was because he was two different people at once. He was Gray Holton, living Liu Feng's life. Until now, he, Gray Holton, was in control.
But whatever happened before, brought the two of them together.
Now, looking through all the memories that suddenly flooded his mind, instead of those simple flashbacks that he had before, he could experience a new life that he never knew within just minutes.
He went through the life of the young master of the Liu Family, one man who was humiliated because he was not able to cultivate. He fell into the pleasures of human life because there was nothing else that he could achieve.
For the first time, he went through life in the perspective of Liu Feng. All of a sudden, he did not have Liu Feng for all the trouble that he faced when he entered this world. After all, the experiences that were just seen, they were too much for anyone to handle.
"I am Liu Feng. No, I am both of us at once." Liu Feng murmured and then nodded.
At that very moment, the spiritual root started humming, and at another edge of the spirit sea, another change was happening.
When the old man died, he transformed into seemingly nothing. But what he really transformed into was spirit energy. And this energy finally assimilated with the spirit sea.
The spirit sea started changing colors. From the golden color that dominated it before, the one patch where the old man died, the spirit sea started having a green hue, like it was an ordinary sea.
The spiritual root also responded to this change. It sent a golden light towards this spirit sea, and the green hue started having another tint of gold added to it.
Liu Feng saw all this change, but he did not understand what all of this signified.
"I still have to go out. If I am in the spirit sea for this long, then my true body will be defenseless." Liu Feng realised.
He left the spirit sea, and returned back to his own body. When he opened his eyes, he could see the familiar outside of the room. He was on the ground though, so the predominant image was the ceiling.
He struggled to stand up though. His own body resisted him for a moment.
But a small hint of dominance appeared in his eyes, and a strange power filled his body. Then, the body behaved like a tame beast, willing to be commanded by its owner.
Liu Feng got up and looked at what was happening. Gu Hua was supposed to be here, along with the Xiantian stage expert. If he was unconscious, she would try to retaliate. But where was she?
"Wait a minute!" Liu Feng jumped with fright as he looked down at a still body that was on the ground there. It was the body of the old man.
He still did not know that the old man faced his demise in Liu Feng's spirit sea.
"He is dead?" Liu Feng quickly confirmed the same by scanning the body with his divine sense. And after that, he quickly took the spatial ring on the old man's body and stored it aside. The old man's misfortune translated to something very good for Liu Feng.
"You are finally awake." a voice came from behind.
Familiar with the voice and its surprising nature, Liu Feng did not jolt or yelp. He knew that the person who had just spoken was Liu Man.
"Finally awake? How long was I out?" Liu Feng asked.
"Two days. And whenever I tried to enter your spirit sea, I met with a strong resistance, as if someone powerful was trying to stop me. How on earth did you manage to kill someone who entered your spirit sea when you are utterly clueless about defending it?" Liu Man asked.
Liu Feng could only cluelessly shake his head and walked into his room.
"What happened to Gu Hua?" he asked.
"She ran, I did not give chase. I just left you there because I would rather not interfere in a battle of souls, and any disturbance would prove fatal. I stood guard, so I would think that Gu Hua is very much alive." Liu Man said.
"Regrettable." Liu Feng noted, but he wasn't too concerned. She was nothing in his eyes.
