Mystical Journey Chapter 1218 - Absorb 2

Mind Reader who was lying on the ground started twitching and jerking greatly at the same time.

The four women seemed to have a hard time trying to restrain Mind Reader’s struggle.

On the other hand, it was a completely different experience for Garen standing by the side.

A huge amount of Mind Reader’s Soul Energy gushed into Kong Xinxue’s body like a flash flood. Even Garen would be slightly frightened by the impact of such a huge amount of Soul Energy as it had almost reached the limit of how much pain he could endure. This might even cause him to be unable to digest them properly and it would be worse for Kong Xinxue who was just a commoner.

“It’s obvious that the cause of the extreme pain is not from the physical body but the direct alteration towards the soul when new energy is added in.” Garen understood fully well how intense the pain was as he had experienced it before in the past. If one were to say the pain from a physical body had an upper limit, then the pain cast upon the soul will never have an upper limit.

Time pa.s.sed by as the five girls were in the situation for more than ten minutes before things gradually calmed down.

The blood mist had fully entered Kong Xinxue’s body.

Thud.

Kong Xinxue fell to the ground as her knees gave in whereas the other four were drenched in sweat as if their physical strength had been robbed away from their bodies.

“A portion of the stress cast upon Kong Xinxue from the Soul Energy has been given towards the rest of them during the extraction process.” Garen could see everything clearly. Garen, unlike the rest who could not see what actually transpired during the process, had his eyes nourished by the Soul Energy. In addition to him achieving the realm of Soul Rings, he could clearly see the changes in the Soul Energy.

The whole ritual ended swiftly.

Nine-Tailed Fox and the rest held Kong Xinxue up. She was fully drenched in sweat from head to toe. Her body’s contour was vaguely shown through her drenched s.h.i.+rt.

“This is your reward.” Nine-Tailed Fox took out her communication device.

Garen, too, took out his communication device. Both of them then connected their devices together, validated their pa.s.swords and Soul’s Core. Nine-Tailed Fox then transferred a hundred thousand contribution points over upon validation.

“This is the ink I have brought along. I still have two bottles left. The original plan was to duplicate two Sacred Sigil at one go but I didn’t expect the duplication process to be so exhausting.” Nine-Tailed Fox said tiredly. She then took out another two bottles of blood red ink and pa.s.sed it to Garen.

“Is Ah Xue going to be fine?” Garen was worried. Despite the fact that they had distanced themselves lately, they were still siblings in this world.

“She’s fine. Don’t worry about it. Everything went along smoothly as planned.” Nine-Tailed Fox smiled. “Alright. We have to go now. I’ll come back and duplicate the Sacred Sigil another time.”

“Anytime.” Garen smiled as he looked at the five of them being led out by Double-Tailed Scorpion to change their clothes.

He then walked towards Mind Reader as he stared quietly at the Sacred Sigil on his chest.

The original Sacred Sigil was a black sun.

“The process may be complicated towards a commoner but it’s child’s play for me.” Garen grabbed hold of MInd Reader’s neck with just one hand. His hand was big enough to grab hold of Mind Reader’s neck as he held it up in mid-air without any effort.

Upon closer inspection towards the Sacred Sigil, Garen realized that this item seemed to be rooted into his skin as there were many weird black lines which spanned towards his shoulders around the black circle.

He reached out his hand to touch it and found out that there was no protrusion at all. It was not something that had grown out of his skin but something which had fused itself with his body instead.

Nine-Tailed Fox’s every action had been recorded down by the Energy Machine Imprint and Garen was able to fully replicate each and every step. However, what he wanted was not purely duplication but the theory and a.n.a.lysis behind it.

Garen stood there for a full thirty minutes, holding up Mind Reader by his neck. He came to his senses after Nine-Tailed Fox and the rest left.

“I’ve understood the basic theory behind it. It’s impossible to achieve it without this blood ink. Truly amazing!” Garen could not help but to praise the powerhouse who thought of this solution.

Lighthouse did have many hidden talents.

The structure of Soul Ring was similar to that of a tall building. It was similar to having an additional floor when a Soul Seed was added. The building would be more stable and ma.s.sive if it had more levels.

However, the key towards the Sacred Sigil’s duplication was to make use of the blood ink’s quality as an incredibly sharp giant sword to cut off the building’s highest level while causing minimal injury towards the Sacred Sigil.

The original Sacred Sigils which the Four Great Cornerstones possessed naturally had their Soul Ring supplied endlessly by the universe. The external source would immediately heal the damage done towards it and they were basically no threat towards any injury.

They would revert back to normal by just reincarnating once if they were fully destroyed.

As he pondered, Garen was very tempted. If he were to able to safely absorb the Soul Energy from the Soul Ring, it would be the best plan for him to obtain a huge amount of Soul Energy within a short amount of time.

He decided to act immediately.

He single-handedly opened up a bottle of blood ink and pressed it on Mind Reader’s chest as he started moving it along the black sun’s striation. His precision far surpa.s.sed that of Nine-Tailed Fox’s. Similar to the most precise computer, there was not a single error and even the thickness was completely identical.

The blood ink striation was finished in seconds.

Garen recalled Nine-Tailed Fox shouting to shake the Soul Energy. He did not do so as he was able to control the Soul Energy as well. He used his Energy Machine Imprint to mimic the pulsation of the Soul Energy as he started to shake Mind Reader’s natural Soul Ring.

Boom!

In that instant, the blood mist flowed out of the Mind Reader’s chest and stopped between Garen and the former’s chest.

Kaboom!! Garen was the only one able to hear the Soul Energy flowing out tremendously within the intense trembling as it hit against his chest.

The blood mist kept changing its form, a series of Sun-like Sacred Sigil kept flying out, entering the blood mist. The one at the back kept pus.h.i.+ng forward even the sun at the front had yet to disappear into the blood mist.

Hundreds of sun-like striations stacked together in a line, connecting the blood mist and Mind Reader together.

“Lin!” A superimposed and muddy voice rang inside the secret chamber. The voice consisted of countless of people stacking together. The voices of the young, old, male and female gave off the same note.

However, Garen did not open his mouth at all. In fact, he did not even make any noise. It was from the intense fluctuations from the air caused by the overwhelmingly powerful Soul Energy.

Pew!!

In a blink of an eye, the blood mist entered Garen’s chest.

Whoos.h.!.+ A strong air current spread about everywhere with Garen as the epicenter. The air current kept moving about within the secret chamber, blowing Garen’s hair messily.

His face was expressionless as he tried to feel the large amount of Soul Energy entering his body like a flash flood.

There was not a single trace of Mind Reader’s Soul Ring being extracted at all. This made Garen even more impressed with the transmigrator who invented this technique. One would not be able to perform such a precise surgery-like procedure without having a deep understanding and confidence towards the Soul.

Strength… An endless amount of strength…

Garen could not help but raise his head as he felt the fifth Soul Seed forming inside his Soul Ring so quickly that he could see it with his naked eyes. Although it was the weakest transparent Soul Seed, this embryonic Soul Seed was absorbing all of the Soul Energy pouring into his body. It then grew from the size of a yellow pea into the size of an egg as it solidified quickly.

He closed his eyes, ignoring the time as he appreciated the huge amount of Soul Energy entering his body which would become the fifth Soul Seed.

The fifth Soul Seed was quickly filled up to the point where it could not absorb any additional Soul Energy as it turned into a spherically transparent crystal. The additional Soul Energy then started to pour into the other Soul Seeds that had yet to be filled up.

The first Soul Seed – Northern Trident Frost-Fire True Water Evil Technique (Blue). The Soul Seed was spinning as it gave off a faint blue glow. After absorbing a huge amount of Soul Energy, the blue glow started fading away as it turned into a transparent crystal.

The second Soul Seed – Holy Phoenix Demonic Book (Black Gold). Soul Seed with black gold color was one of the weakest Soul Seed. After absorbing a huge amount of Soul Energy, its volume increased as it became transparent.

The Third Soul Seed – h.e.l.lfrost Peac.o.c.k Soul Seed (White). This was Garen’s strongest Soul Seed as it contained the inspiration and knowledge to threaten the entire planet. If a commoner were able to get his hands on this Soul Seed and entirely erased Garen’s imprint, he would instantly become a Planet Level powerhouse equivalent to the King of Crystal! He would become one of the strongest powerhouses in many other worlds even if he were not in the Mech World! He would be able to reach the allowable limits of the universe.

This Soul Seed was not absorbing the Soul Energy at all. In fact, it kept releasing a huge amount of white Soul Energy as it tried to corrupt the original Sacred Sigil’s Soul Energy.

Chirp!!

The sharp chirp of the Peac.o.c.k could be heard all of the sudden in Garen’s conscience.

The white peac.o.c.k queen came out from the Soul Seed as it bit onto the colorless Soul Energy. The white chill behind it then started to form into layers of wings made from ice crystals.

“Stop.” Garen manually controlled the peac.o.c.k. In a sense, the peac.o.c.k represented himself as its nature was to absorb all external energy coming into the body. Naturally, it would be possible to directly control such ability as well.

Hiss… the Peac.o.c.k was dispersed forcibly as it turned into white gas and diluted by the colorless Soul Energy that kept pouring in.

Garen stared at the whole event indifferently.

The Soul Ring was filled up and the Soul Energy flowing out from the Soul Ring started to become more and more powerful.

His body started to obtain a huge amount of nutrient. His body which was originally lacking in Soul Energy started to obtain so much that a new Soul Seed started to form as it attempted to form a second Soul Ring!

Slap.

Suddenly, Garen forcefully cut off the Soul Energy’s channel.

He looked at the Mind Reader in his hand tiredly. He could not simply absorb everything since Nine-Tailed Fox and the others would still come and duplicate the Sacred Sigil Once more. He thought that it would be best for him to not let the others knew that he had the natural ability to absorb the Sacred Sigil before he obtained all the loot in one fell swoop.

He looked at the Sacred Sigil on the Mind Reader’s chest and he could see that it had been slightly faded.

Garen could not stop himself from smiling as he looked at his own Attribute Pane.

“It’s so much better to rob the wealth from others than rightfully collecting the inspiration on my own…” He lamented from his heart.
