Holy Beast Saintess 28 3Rd Spirit Gathering

As the spirit gathering pill took effect, an abundant amount of energy was stored within her beast core.

As she refining the energy it started out as quite violent and wild but quickly became more stable as time pa.s.sed.

Sensing that she had achieved enough energy to break through she began to circulate her energy toward her third meridian point.

As the spirit energy violently clashed against the final wall of resistance, the third meridian point opened up smoothly.

After breaking through, Shadow felt her bodies limits being surpa.s.sed once more.

Her body grew stronger every second as she spread her spirit energy through her body nouris.h.i.+ng every part possible.

Now she felt more confident in being able to fight other beasts with equal or a little more powerful strength than herself.

As she was training her dark attribute, she would not use her light attribute unless it was to heal her injuries because her light spirit energy was now only at 2nd spirit gathering thanks to the excess energy from the beast cores and the pill used.

Truthfully speaking dark attribute suited to her current environment, the dark forest was a perfect place for her to use her abilities.

At a higher mastery of their dark attribute cultivator can leave behind an after image or doppelgänger of themselves when used with a movement technique.

There are also techniques that allow the dark energy to envelope other types of spirit energy attacks upon clas.h.i.+ng, as they clash the energy is absorbed by the dark energy and serves to strengthen the cultivator so long as their opponent is not too high of a cultivation above them.

Dark spirit cultivators must use their concealment and sneak attacks to gain the advantage at the start of a battle, once the opponent has been injured their focus would be on trying to expel the dark energy from their bodies leading to them not focussing on the fight or they don't and they slowly weaken as they try to take down the dark cultivator… Both are fatal in a life and death battle.

As she came out of cultivation she laughed happily. "Now I am a quarter of the way through the spirit gathering stage, not only has my cultivation speed increased after opening three meridian points, my body has improved by so much. Fighting tougher opponents should not be a problem, not to mention if I run into a human they would need to be even stronger or be lots of them of the same rank or above to pose a threat to me."

As she stretched her body she began to take steps towards a tough looking tree, a black energy wrapped around her antlers as she charged and landed a fierce attack onto the tree.

As parts of the tree was shattered, wisps of the black energy lingered on the tree.

"Hmm… Not bad! I can finally use my energy freely when fighting. However my body is not yet suitable for training a movement technique… Oh well I can think of that later." She nodded her head as she was very pleased with her improvements.

'Hmm… It seems he has finally made some progress too, I don't think it will be long until he breaks through also!' She gazed at the little rabbit with happiness. 'I have plenty of things to help with cultivation in the mean time so it should really not be an issue progressing further… But I best increase my training this month and adjust to my current strength as I should not rush myself.'

"Oh c.r.a.p! I almost forgot about my attack…" She turned her head back to the tree in shock.

The previous tree that was full of life despite receiving a heavy attack had began to be corrupted by the dark spirit energy.

The spot where she had hit seemed to slowly corrode from being in contact with the dark energy.

Shadow swallowed her saliva as she stared at the tree. "I need to be careful who I use this energy on… Although I can remove its effects, if I am careless I could cause some real trouble."

She placed her antlers over the tree as they began to be surrounded by a white glow of light.

She used her full concentration as she guided the light energy onto the tree locating the traces of dark energy.

After a short time the dark energy dissipated and the tree began to show signs of improvement.

As she continued, sweat began to roll down her face as she was deep in concentration.

The tree slowly began to be filled with life once more and the damage inflicted began to heal slightly.

"d.a.m.n! I can really use my light element to heal others but it severely drains my spirit energy and spiritual perception." She was thinking deeply how she would use this to her advantage in the future.

Most light spirit cultivaters are not able to use their energy to treat others until they can properly control their energy around the origin realm.

Shadow however has years of experience and knowledge so can perform such feats with her current strength and she had the use of her spiritual perception to a.s.sist her.
