"Holy…" Raven gaped as he found himself floating inside a large sphere of water.
His breathing wasn't impeded in the slightest, in fact he could even feel himself relaxing inside this water nebula. As the water swirled in rotation, he too spun inside. Each movement wasn't turbulent, it was a gentle swirl.
The water was divided into two colors, one black and the other white. Strangely enough, these waters didn't mixed with each other, yet they chased after each other in a rhythmic fashion. The ripples caused a profound and rhythmic sounds to be produced, causing Raven's brain activity to be bewitched yet remain clear.
"This is…" Raven stuttered, "Equinox Waters! Holy shit! And the amount present here? Holy crap! This is awesome!"
Equinox Waters, those who knew about this Heavenly Treasure would definitely have their eyes turn red from desire. It had to be known that this water is extremely rare. So much so that a liter of this water would fetch at least half a million Spirit Stone Slabs! Yet currently, Raven is casually swimming in colossal amounts of this liquid.
These waters are the type of resource that could not be reproduced easily, making it extremely rare. Aside from fulfilling special conditions, one has to wait at least 300,000 years in order for this water to be consumable. Even then, the amount they will get is pitifully low. If they want to increase its volume naturally, then it required a special environment and also an extremely long time.
Even though the wait is long, the results are always worth it. Even some Empyreans will receive benefit from consuming these waters.
Equinox Waters is the most sublime and gentlest kind of consumable. It can cure almost all ailments, cure visible and invisible injuries, permanently accelerate one's bodily functions without any side-effects, and it could even naturally increase the volume and purity of one's energy as well as physique.
The best part about this is that, Equinox Waters could cleanse someone's soul in a gentle manner. Making it stronger and allowing their deduction capabilities to increase.
"Take advantage of this chance! I don't know when's the next time I'll enter this place!" Raven hastily took out a gourd from his spatial ring that could easily contain huge amounts of water. He then let it absorb the waters while gulping mouthfuls of Equinox Waters.
The waters tasted like it came from the purest spring water. As soon as the liquid slid down his throat, it already began working its magic.
Under normal circumstances, Raven would've directed the waters on every single pore of his body to begin his 7th Transformation but right now, he decided against that.
"I'll take this chance to form Avatars, directly charging to the 3rd stage of [Myriad Incarnations Scripture] before making my breakthrough. With how much water is in here, I could split my soul multiple times and recover right away, I could also make the Avatars consume the waters to increase their strength, making them more helpful for me!"
With this plan in mind, Raven didn't hesitate and began circulating the energies according to the method described on the scripture.
In a short while, Raven felt an uncomfortable itch on his soul. Following that, two white orbs flew out from his body, floating in front of him. Slowly but surely, they began taking form and after a full hour, the two Avatars opened their eyes.
Instantly, Raven felt like his mind was split into three chambers, the two new chambers were relatively smaller. After testing for quite sometime, a smile formed on Raven's lips, he then relayed his orders to the avatars and they began drinking large amounts of Equinox Waters too.
Raven stopped paying attention to the Avatars since he only needed a thought to give them orders. He himself began curing the damage on his soul. Once he was done, he began the process of splitting once more.
Few hours later, all nine Avatars were formed. Seeing this brought happiness on the depths of Raven's heart. The gourd beside him was already full so he stored it back to his spatial ring. He briefly glanced at the volume of the waters around him and saw that it didn't even shrink from his absorption.
Sighing in relief, he drank the waters once again. This time, he wanted to see if he could completely cure his soul using this waters.
A whole day passed just like this, and Raven got his answer.
Unfortunately, the effect of Equinox Waters on his own soul diminishes greatly. He only managed to recover his soul about 89% before hitting a bottleneck. Still, this is a good result. If anything, he could still use this water to cultivate more avatars in the future.
Once that's done, Raven kept his avatars inside his inner world and prepared to start his breakthrough.
With a though, his whole body began shaking. Each pore on his body started absorbing the efficacy of the Equinox Waters greedily.
It didn't take long before a large cocoon formed around him. Inside this cocoon, Raven's body, energy and soul was being deconstructed and nourished.
As Raven's consciousness attained a special state, he wasn't aware that the cocoon surrounding him was emitting a dazzling radiance. Mystical lines filled with profound charms started appearing on its surface, forming Law Diagrams of all shapes and sizes. Whenever these diagrams were formed, they will begin nourishing every single cell on Raven's body.
Later on, these Law Diagrams will break down and will become a part of his special physique. In time, these diagrams will dissolve on Raven's body, allowing him to gain insights and inspiration in his laws.

In a special space inside the Ancestral Palace, eight silhouettes sat on a circle around the small pond of water. Their eyes were focused on the pond as it showed scene what Raven did inside the cultivation Eden.
One of the silhouettes roared in laughter as he said: "What a kid! He actually got the initial stages of [Myriad Incarnations Scripture] from that miserly Geezer!"
"Right. And from what I can tell, it shouldn't be just that. Geezer should've given him more. He must've liked this kid a lot."
"I got a word from Geezer." One of them informed, "He said that the kid actually paid respects to him and accepted him as his Master. Clever kid not only got baptized from Spacetime, he also got the initial stages [Voidwalking Manual] and [Myriad Incarnations Scripture]. He also got [99 Destruction Seals] and [99 Holy Seals]."
Hearing this caused the rest to be astounded, all of them had smiles on their faces.
"This kid's luck is too good!"
"I'm more surprised that the Old Geezer was actually that generous."
"Right? All of us had to work our asses of in order to get those inside the palace, yet he already got them this early."
"He only got the initial parts. Plus, cultivating those things would be too expensive. Not to mention that there are still more waiting for him. Everything that Geezer left are essential for him to create the third chapter."
"Yeah, but that should still solidify his foundations even more. If that happened to us, then maybe we could've finished creating the third chapter."
"How can it be that easy?" Astrid chimed in, "Even with so much time and so many Avatars, didn't we all fail? But I agree with your conjecture."
"The only one who got so close was Little 8th. All of us were too far from it even with all the techniques he left."
Inos chuckled and said: "The opportunity came too late. I was already on the verge of dissipating when I got insights. Still, I'm confident about Raven's chances."
"Well, it would really be good if he could finish it." One of them sighed, "We're at out most pitiful states, we can't even go out of here without the threat of dissipating almost immediately. All we could do is to occasionally give him pointers."
"Imparting Law Insights should never be done so casually." The other silhouette added, "Even if we're are at better states, the help we can give to him is very minimal. Ultimately, he had to forge his way through this path by himself. Whether he succeeds or not, there's nothing we can do aside from wait."
"At least for now, his safety shouldn't be a problem. With his Spacetime Laws and the techniques he has, so long as he cultivated them diligently, escaping from danger should be simple for him."
"Hmm?" One of the silhouettes raised a brow as he watched the Law Diagrams forming on the cocoon around Raven. "All of you, look at those Law Diagrams."
As soon as he said this, everyone started paying attention to the law diagrams. When the saw the mystical lines and images forming around the cocoon, their faces changed.
"Are those…"
"I think they are…but isn't this going to be troublesome for him?"
"Oh I don't know about this. This might he extremely beneficial or it might be disastrous for him."
"Well, there's nothing we can do. We have rules to follow."
"Let it be a form of tempering for him then."
Thank goodness Raven couldn't hear them and see what's going on around him, or else he would've already shed tears from the troublesome matter that's about to fall onto him.
