As I was slowly being bathed by my Sea of Spirit Energy, my Energy Incarnate Form that I thought was already perfected upon reaching the 5-Rivers Transformed Spirit Realm slowly underwent a change.
The long black hair which naturally rolled down to my back grew even longer and took the same color as the long white robe covering my body. Apart from that, even without me looking at it, my features also got an upgrade. I'm now closer to the illustration of those venerable immortals with jade-white skin.
If before I'm just an average good-looking guy who couldn't hold a candle to the heroes who had a league of their own, I now reached that point. It's not that I'm boasting but… If my girls saw me, they might ask me to stay in this form. Or if that was an exaggeration, I'm sure that they would really like seeing me in this form.
After the Energy Incarnate Form became perfected, my Unique Noble Crest has started to be written behind me using Flux Energy and Dark Energy in the form of Spirit Energy.
Even if I'm not seeing it, I could feel how that Crest started to resonate with me. It's like my whole being was being written and transformed into that Crest.
This is probably the reason why one will feel like they're looking at the Noble Spirit itself if they got a glimpse of their Unique Crest.
When the Crest was finished, the remaining Dark Energy and Flux Energy that were being used to write were all sucked into the Crest, giving it a brilliant shine that could probably blind someone watching the process of my breakthrough to the Noble Spirit Realm.
The Crest was indescribable but upon looking at it, I instantly knew how to read it. It's just my name. If someone saw it, they would also be able to read it and think of me.
That's how the Noble Spirit who used their Unique Crest as their family emblem became well-known despite only appearing a few times in public.
The Crest and the stirring of Energy around me soon settled down. Like a Halo existing behind me, the surrounding Dark Energy couldn't approach the Crest that was floating and shining brightly like a sun.
And along with the completion of my Unique Crest as well as the coalescing of my Sea which compressed itself and started revolving around me, the notification about my successful breakthrough to the Noble Spirit Realm rang out.
[Ding!]
[Advanced to Noble Spirit]
[Current Connection: 1 Sea]
[Energy Incarnate form has been perfected. The abilities brought by this Transformation are all enhanced.]
[Reduced the consumption of Energy for maintaining the Transformation to 2 units of Level 1 Energy/second]
[Energy Control has been enhanced]
[Short Distance Teleportation range has increased to 4 meters]
[Phase has been enhanced. You can now phase through energy-based objects which depended on your Energy Control]
[Generated a Skill: Crest Release]
[Crest Release: You can Summon your own Unique Crest to unleash the Energy contained in it into one Ultimate Skill that depended on what you intended to use it. It can be an offensive, defensive or auxiliary skill. The Crest will have the same Energy Capacity as your own body (Currently 10,000 units). The Absorption of your Crest cannot be influenced by Energy Control or your own Absorption. You can only use the skill again when the capacity is completely filled.]
Although the series of notifications looked short and I only got the Crest Release as a new skill, the perfection of my Transformation made it possible for me to maintain that form almost indefinitely as long as I don't use any other Skill which consumed Energy.
By reaching the 4th Realm, my body's Energy Capacity doubled from 5,000 to 10,000. Add to that the invisible storage which has now 1,700 units because of 200 base units and 1,500 added units every 5% increments of its experience.
Although the Invisible Storage now looked like it was inferior to my body's capacity, just having it as additional storage and it having different storage depending on the level of Source Energy showed how superior it was to others. My body couldn't store a huge amount of Psyche Energy but Invisible Storage could. Also, it's just one of the features of my Adaptability.
The Crest Release also sounds awesome. It can be used in any clutched situation. Releasing 10,000 units of Energy will surely overwhelm someone else. However, thinking about it, because of my incomplete Mortal Pathway, my Energy Capacity was sufficiently lower than others especially to those who already completed theirs and started treading a Transcendent Pathway. If the trend of adding another zero at every increase in realm continued, someone at the 1st realm of their Transcendent Pathway has at least 1,000,000 units of Energy as their capacity.
Fleur will have 5,000,000 for having reached the 5th Stage of Elemental Reawakening Realm by conjuring the five ice-like Strings. And Sofiel will have ten million units by just being at the Elemental Weaving Realm.
Which means… All this time, the others who became a Transcendent without completing their Mortal Pathways and I were fighting the others while possessing lower Energy Capacity. It feels like we're all running on a cheap battery that will be emptied faster than the normal ones. Luckily, we seldom encounter drawn-out battles.
And the state of Jayna back then was probably because of this as well. She exhausted the stored Energy inside her and with no time to absorb more and recover her lost Energy, add the various restrictions she received, she became too disadvantaged. And Fleur… despite being restricted by the Zone and that Restriction Room, with how abundant her stored Energy, it was an easy feat for her to overwhelm them, even more so because there were no Transcendents keeping her in check.
Once I reached this point in my thoughts, my breakthrough on my Spirit Pathway ended. The Transformation was undone and my body went back to its normal state. My Crest behind me and my Sea which revolved around me disappeared.
At that point, the cavern regained its previous calm. However, after a few seconds, the stirring of the surrounding energy once again started as my body started to draw the dense clouds of Dark Energy that were pushed to the side during the expansion of my Sea. With a strong suction force, my body started to absorb the Dark Energy hungrily, with every drop of it turning to Flux Energy as soon as it entered my body.
When it reached a certain point, just like how it happened in my breakthrough to Noble Spirit Realm, the locks preventing me from reaching the King Realm were all broken simultaneously.
Along with that, each of my Halo started coming out one by one by the order of how I created them.
The Phantasmic Doppelganger Halo came out and hovered behind me for a while before rising above my head as it started to spin quickly, creating a perfect sphere when the speed reached a certain point. Consequently, it started glowing brightly.
Following its precedence, the other Halos lined up next to it and did the same.
With each of the Halos rotating continuously and glowing in different lights, they set themselves apart and lined up from above my head to my front.
After a while, like the Crest, each of the Halo absorbed energy to mold and compressed themselves into tiny gemstones, each one having a different allure.
The Phantasmic Doppelganger Halo turned into a green Zircon.
The Domain of Valor Halo turned into a golden Topaz.
The Bedevilled Outburst Halo turned into a purple Amethyst.
The Bulwark of Invulnerability Halo turned into an aquamarine-blue Sapphire
And lastly, The Karmic Slash Halo turned into a blood-red Ruby.
Although I described them as gemstones that exist on Earth, I only took the name of what's most similar to each of them. Now that my Halos all turned into Jewels, by drawing in more Energy, a Crown was conjured in front of me. It's pure white in color with five indentations in front of it which took the shape of the Jewels. Just by looking at it, it has an awe-inspiring air to it and somehow contained the unrestrained majesty of a King. If someone weaker saw it, they would probably have thoughts of prostrating themselves in front of me.
When the Crown was completely conjured, the Halos-turned-Jewels started to embed themselves into the indentions one by one, adding a more luxurious touch to the King's Crown.
"It truly feels like I am being conferred as a King at this point."
I couldn't help but mutter to myself when the Crown started to float and slowly settled itself on top of my head.
Once it successfully fitted itself in front of me, I unconsciously stood up before a series of notifications rang out concerning my successful breakthrough to the King Realm.
[Advanced to 1st Stage King Realm]
[Your Crown has been successfully created]
[Crown Skill: King's Majesty]
[King's Majesty: By drawing in the Ability contained in your five jewels, an exclusive Ultimate Skill was created. By activating this skill, an Avatar of yourself will be created. The Avatar was created through the Phantasmic Doppelganger Jewel. Its overall strength was drawn upon 80% of your base stats + 50% of the enhancement from the Domain of Valor Jewel. It has a natural offensive skill of conjuring a Purple Sword and Energy Explosion Projectiles from your Bedevilled Outburst Jewel. It has a natural defensive skill that can create a layer of Energy-based Shields from your Bulwark of Invulnerability Jewel. It also has one Unique Sword Skill derived from the Karmic Slash Jewel. The Avatar doesn't need any Energy to maintain it as it has a natural ability to absorb Energy. The Avatar will be a replication of yourself and can exist indefinitely. However, once destroyed, it will take a month to create another Avatar.]
