Chapter 203
Living things, or even the appearance of living things, inside the spirit ocean is definitely something new to the Research team. And to the exotic cultivation experts they call in, even to the King when he comes to check on the commotion in the morning.
I’m out of ideas, so I get busy making another batch of yesterday’s final recipe for pills to help new cultivators in Immortal or Divine energy rich worlds, while the experts discuss the ramifications of the information I gave them. They’re taking forever, so I move on to making snacks.
Eventually the curiosity gets the better of them and they request the presence of an expert from the Dragon Race. I’m just finishing today’s tests and enjoying fresh baked pastries with our volunteers when they arrive, so I send Ahra and the boy Aziz off to get dinner early and rest for the evening.
The Dragon that shows up to help determine the peculiarity with my Spirit Ocean is also a Second Rank High Priestess and our outfits match perfectly. It’s nice to fit in again.
"Interesting. Demon and Lycan Mixed, chosen by the Death God. I knew Lycans were equal opportunity horn dogs, but who let one loose in the Demon Realms?" she talks to herself while she casts a variety of spells over me, nodding as she gets results back.
"That’s very interesting. I’ve only heard of these, I didn’t think I would get to see one in person." She smiles at me before turning to the others.
"It’s nothing to be concerned about, her partially formed Nascent Soul contains a Soul Shrine. They occur very rarely in Priestesses of the various gods who devote themselves to service. In short, the Young Lycan here is so loyal to the Ideals of the Death God that her very being, the Spirit Ocean that embodies the soul, has gained a shrine dedicated to the Black Dragon." The High Priestess explains.
That explanation doesn’t seem to have set anyone’s mind at ease. I should say something.
"Loyalty is innate to Lycans, but to be honored with a shrine in my soul sounds pretty cool."
