Chapter 85 - The Wild Northern Forest
The Wild Northern Forest, known as the largest and the most dangerous forest in the Northern Mainland. It's so vast that it totally separates the Outer Region from the Inner Region and is the home for the spirit beasts in Golden Core Stage. As a result, no one dares to set foot here carelessly.
The trees here were so tall that even the spiritual artifacts could only fly a few meters above them. Due to which the cultivators who tried to pass from here by using their spiritual artifacts would often get ambushed.
But today, as the Sun was blazing high in the sky, a small black spiritual artifact was slowly flying above the Wild Northern Forest. Inside it, a handsome young man was sitting on a mattress while reading a scroll with his eyes focused. Also, a strange white orb was lying infront of him.
Only after a few seconds did he close the scroll and muttered, "I still couldn't find any information about this orb. I thought that this scroll might help me but it was only a spiritual art that would allow someone to cultivate their soul."
It's been a week since he left the Blood Saber Sect. The Talisman was so strong that it managed to destroy the whole sect. The only thing remaining after the explosion was this orb, the Sect Master's spirit ring, and lastly his broken blade. From this, you could say that they were made from really extraordinary materials.
The thing that surprised him the most was his broken blade. It still remained undamaged after all that where those spiritual sabers had already been turned into dust. As for the spirit ring, he already knew that it would be tough. The larger the space inside it, the tougher the materials from which it was made. This was something that he had read from the library and it happened to be true.
The space inside this ring was really large as he had guessed. But it was not as big as the one Thaddeus gave him. When he opened this ring, his eyes nearly popped out. There were a large number of spirit stones and pills inside it. Not only that, there was this scroll and a large spiritual artifact. It was thrice as large as the one he was using now. But he didn't travel in it as it could attract much attention and create unnecessary troubles.
He then ate all those pills and managed to reach level 23. He got shocked when he found that he needed so many experience points to reach level 23. From this, he realized that it would take a very long time for him to level up by just depending on the pills in the Outer Region. As a result, the value of those pills was already getting insignificant. But it still managed to level him up. Due to which all the injuries that he had suffered recovered in the blink of an eye.
Everything was going well for him except for the orb. He tried pouring his spiritual energy into it and tried every other way. However, he still didn't get any response from it. So, his only hope was on the Scroll.
However, it still disappointed him. It didn't contain any information about the Orb but rather it was a spiritual art. Even though he didn't get what he wanted, a new spiritual art should have made him happy rather it was the total opposite. He cursed after reading it.
"Damn, how could this even be a spiritual art? It requires someone's devil essence just to get started. This devil essence would then transform your body slowly and make you a devil in the future. However, it still had some advantages as it allowed one to cultivate their soul in just the Golden Core Stage."
"I think this is what Conard meant when he said that the devil essence would allow me to reach the Nascent Soul Stage much faster. However, I would never fall for that as I can't even cultivate. Hehe"
He smiled and put those things inside his ring. But he didn't notice that this spiritual art had already been recorded in red text in his panel. Does this mean that Davion could cultivate it even without using the devil's essence?
Davion didn't know that as he hadn't looked into his panel. But he would definitely get surprised in the future. Now he was thinking about Conard.
"That devil was too strong. Just his projection at the Nascent Soul Stage was powerful enough to overpower me. So, how strong would his main body be?"
He didn't dare to think about it. "He should be angry with me but I should be safe for now. Even if he comes, he might not know that I have already left."
"But what if he releases his anger on the Bone and Devil Sect?"
Davion sighed thinking about it, "I can only take revenge in the future if that happens."
"Let's forget about it for now. I am already in the middle of the forest. I can't sense any beasts near me with my Mind-Eye." Due to his Mind-Eye and the map given by the Sect Master he had been able to arrive here safely without running into any troubles.
"I think I should drop here and have some fresh air. I'm feeling suffocated staying here for so long.. Not only that, this place is pretty good to try out that technique."
