"Think about it. You've just become a supernatural. Apart from your spirit, you're still a mortal. There's no way a mortal can withstand the pressure of 'Soul Quiescence' for too long. " Ness spoke in a jealous tone, "If your soul wasn't stronger than a mortal's, you would have been kicked out as soon as you entered the state. Such a great opportunity should be given to wizards like us. Why did it give you — "
Ness pointed at Angor and shook his head in regret.
"Soul Quiescence?" Ness had been talking to Angor through telepathy, so he didn't know that the state he just described was the highest level of meditation.
Sunders briefly explained the concept of "Soul Quiescence" to Angor. "Soul Quiescence refers to the stillness of one's soul. Perhaps you accidentally reached the threshold of Soul Quiescence and were triggered by the world's consciousness. That's why you entered the state at that time.
"But as Ness said, your body is too weak to fully absorb the essence of Soul Quiescence.
"But that makes sense. When you're in a state of spiritual stillness, you're able to sense some of the sequence of gravity. But because you were interrupted halfway, the rhythm of the law was incomplete. That's why you didn't feel anything after the law was injected. But the laws you learned didn't disappear either. The Soul Tranquility is a state of soul comprehension, and the interrupted laws are still sleeping in your soul. "Sunders sounded a little regretful when he said this." You're right.
"If you can fully understand it, it won't be sleeping in your soul. Instead, it will appear in your mind space. And you won't have to rely on your soul energy to activate it. You can use your mana … That's a shame, "Ness added.
Nessie added, "In other words, the sequence of gravity you've comprehended is equivalent to a spell that can only be activated by expending soul force. Even Soul Manipulators usually use their mana to cast spells. It's too wasteful to use soul energy to cast spells. "
Angor finally understood. The sequence of gravity he learned seemed powerful, but he needed to use his soul energy to cast it. Soul energy recovery was much slower than mana recovery, and he didn't have much soul energy left. If he wanted to use the sequence of gravity, he would have to wait a long time.
"Still, it's not bad. At the very least, it's an instantaneous spell." Although Ness had explained a lot about the disadvantages of consuming soul force, he still couldn't help but speak his mind in the end. It wasn't like he couldn't recover his soul power. Having an additional instant-cast spell was equivalent to having an additional ability to protect himself! Perhaps this instantaneous spell would be the key to saving your life in a moment of crisis!
"The test results are out. We can prepare for the final step."
The final step: the fusion of soul and body.
Back in the lab, Ness was still grumbling, "I've been screwed over by you two this time. Not only did I not earn anything, I even lost five years of my cultivation. My life is too bitter. I was just staying in my own territory, but disaster still fell from the sky! "
Angor felt a little guilty when he heard Ness' complaint. The benefits he gained this time were too great. Although the sequence of gravity was a huge benefit, it still had its limits. He couldn't use it now, and it could only be used as a trump card in the future. However, after absorbing Ness' pure soul energy, Angor's soul was refined by the Soul Furnace, which improved the quality of his soul. This was the biggest benefit of all.
There were too many benefits to having a high-quality soul. When the quality of his soul reached a certain level, Angor's soul could directly interfere with the material world even without learning any soul spells. Like Soul Manipulators, he could even survive without a body for a long time.
However, Angor's regret was quickly dispelled by Ness' words.
"From now on, I'm going to teach Saka a good lesson. I'm counting on him to pay me back in the future." Ness gave Angor a wicked grin.
Sunders still didn't say anything.
Angor silently told himself to work harder. Not only for himself, but also for Jon. He would kill anyone who wanted to kill him first!
The fusion of soul and body was the easiest step. Ness cast a spell to open Angor's soul space. All Angor needed to do was to go back inside.
The process went smoothly. Several minutes later, Angor slowly opened his eyes while soaking in the nutrient solution.
He didn't feel anything wrong and climbed out of the glass chamber. The towel he used to wipe his body was already placed aside. He wiped the nutrient solution off his body. His skin still smelled like a magical plant. He put on his clothes and walked to Sunders.
Sunders and Ness were chatting. Ness seemed to have calmed down. He didn't sneer at Angor anymore.
"Those people are still bothering you?" Ness asked.
Sunders nodded nonchalantly. "Looks like they won't give up until they get what they want. After all, they're after the descendant of that VIP."
Ness snickered. "You're right. They need you to break their illusions."
Sunders shook his head. "Illusions are secondary. They're probably after my gravity garden. You know, smuggling living creatures is a good deal too."
"Could it be that the Karabits are behind the smuggling of living creatures?"
"I think so. The Karabits are quite generous when it comes to biological research." Sunders nodded. He didn't like the Karabits very much.
"So you're not going to go to the frontlines then?" Ness asked. "If you don't do anything to the descendant of that VIP, you won't get involved, right?"
"These things can't be explained clearly, who knows … Anyway, I can't be bothered to get involved in these matters."
"But sometimes you have no choice. If Mister Monkey dares to do something to that VIP's descendant, he's probably going to die if he can't become a legend," Ness sighed.
"Don't worry. They're only looking for you to make up the numbers. Now that your soul energy is greatly weakened, I don't think they'll be interested in you anymore." Sunders chuckled. "So, you didn't lose anything this time."
This time, Ness didn't insist that he had "lost". Instead, he sighed. "The people of Moonfrost Moon seem to have put the cart before the horse. A wizard's path is to explore the unknown and seek the truth. They prioritize the exploration of the unknown and give up on seeking the truth. Such a Moonfrost Union will eventually be destroyed. "
"The path of truth isn't decided by us. Your standards are different from theirs. Maybe they're still laughing at us for having a wrong understanding of the truth. "Sunders was a higher wizard after all, so he had more ideas than Ness. There was no absolute truth in this world. Different perspectives could lead to different views of the world.
Sunders and Ness stopped talking about this topic. Angor had no idea what they were talking about. But when he thought about it, he realized that they must be talking about something important. It had nothing to do with him anyway, so he just let it be.
"It's about time. We should go. There's an old man waiting for me to deal with …" Sunders stood up and chuckled.
"Old man?"
"An old fox who infiltrated the enemy's territory with an ulterior motive." Sunders didn't mention who Ness was.
"Oh right, I almost forgot about this." Sunders flipped his hand and took out a bottle filled with pink liquid — the Bloodline Essence of the Succubus.
Sunders tossed the bottle to Ness. "If you really want to study the effect of Bloodline Essence on a man, you can give it to your student while he's trapped. I promise he won't feel anything in his illusion."
Ness waved a hand. "Nah. If I give it to him, he'll use a forbidden spell to change his body right away."
Angor's ears twitched a little when he heard Ness' words. From what Ness said, Saka could use a forbidden spell to change his body even if his body was destroyed. Angor knew that he had to think carefully if he wanted to kill Ness. He wondered if Hookdick knew such a forbidden spell.
"Didn't you take in another student last year?"
"For Hookdick, you say?" Ness rubbed his chin and considered. "That's a good idea. Hookdick is desperate to become stronger. Besides, he just entered the wizarding world not long ago. Maybe we can trick him a little …"
Angor was a little worried about Ness' intention of giving Hookdick the Bloodline Essence. But at the same time, he couldn't help but give Sunders a thumbs-up.
He couldn't wait to see what Hookdick would look like after being injected with the succubus blood. A female Hookdick … Angor was excited just thinking about it.
Before leaving the Valley of Souls, Ness suddenly spoke to Angor.
"The sequence of gravity is connected to your soul. This is the first time I've seen something like this. You can use it as a soul spell for now, but I don't know if it'll affect your soul in the future. Unless your soul is mutated, it's better to keep it as pure as possible. "
Angor wasn't sure if Ness was exaggerating or not, but he still needed to be careful. Jon always said that misfortune and fortune came hand in hand. Angor's current situation seemed to be a blessing. But who knew if the "blessing" would cover up the "misfortune"?
Angor couldn't help but feel worried.
On their way back, Sunders continued, "Once you become a wizard, every decision you make will come with risks. Therefore, what you need to do is to study the risks thoroughly before they arrive and then avoid them. Even if you can't, you need to minimize the damage to yourself.
"There will be answers to all of your questions. And that's what wizards seek, "said Sunders.
