Chapter 199
The cloud of black energy begins to form around me again, and I can hear a new set of voices shouting. Someone has reinforcements, or a third party joined in the fun.
"Highness, we have determined the identity of the intruders. The Celestial and Moon God forces are playing capture the flag." A guard announces through the door.
Capture the flag? Since when is that a Death Sport? There is a lot of Death Energy being released for a game of any sort.
"Good news. Those aren’t murders you’re feeling. They’re Shadow Grenades. The Celestial forces use them to slow down the Children of the Moon Goddess." The King tells me, barely audible through the fog of my breakthrough.
Shadow Grenades? I wonder if they’re something like this cloud, holding their target in place with Death Energy anchored to a single location.
My cultivating has reached the pinnacle of The Mortal Realm now, and lightning has started to crackle on the cloud again, though not as strongly as during the battle with the Titans. A sense of infinity, of eternity becoming available begins to fill me, not really a shock for someone already expecting to live a thousand years, but then I see further, the possibility of ten thousand years, to out living the Earth itself. Now that is an eye opener.
The feeling fades as the energy surrounding me is absorbed and my cultivation settles into the Immortal Realm, leaving me feeling more than a little bit empty. It was all in my reach, but this is a far as I made it. Maybe that is what breakthroughs in the Immortal Realm of cultivation feel like?
I can see the path ahead of me now. Spirit Ocean Completion, Soul Transformation and Ascendancy. After that begins the comprehension of Natural Laws as a newborn Diety level cultivator. Those are the phases I must pass through to reach Divinity, though I can sense the path is different for everyone.
Some paths are very short, some very long. It all depends on the individual cultivator. The First step for me will be to fully form the world within my Spirit Ocean, whatever that might entail.
