”Figure it out.” Pinaka snorted softly and ignored Yan Zaizen. ”I'm going to recover my soulforce,” she abruptly said, turning into a dot of light that silently siphoned Yan Zaizen's soul-attributed vital energy and soul energy to bolster her own.
”...” Yan Zaizen's inner expression was ugly, but his outward expression before Damian was dignified and smiling. In his thoughts, ”really? Aren't you supposed to be…”
Then it hit him.
When he was learning from Pinaka, she essentially transmitted the conceptual method to him, she chose suitable methods and arts based on what he already cultivated or just top-tier and could be cultivated, and explained the basis of cultivation to him. However…
”Does she not know how to instruct a disciple properly?” Thinking about it, Pinaka was more a mentor of the cultivation way with a slight word of guidance, but she never offered a single word of instruction, but simply filled in his gaps of knowledge. Not a single word. His Non-Entity qualities had easily covered this, but on further thought, Pinaka seemed quite useless in terms teaching things.
It makes sense.
Pinaka was a True Spirit, a creation from a flawed path that couldn't cultivate any arts, be it soul, qi, or martial. Even in terms of the Dao, she speculated and guessed during the Asura Phantom Realm, sounding quite unsure of success. This wasn't the only incident.
Throughout his entire life, she had done nothing more than fill in gaps and speculate. There were even times she had no clue of things, even Yan Zaizen's own knowledge exceeded hers in some aspects.
He was quite sure that Pinaka didn't even understand the profoundness of the laws inscribed on her...after all, she never taught him anything relating to it, even though his Archery of Pure Destruction had always lagged behind his other abilities.
In retrospect, his question earlier accentuated her disadvantages and heightened the notice of her limitations as a True Spirit. The flaws were now clearly apparent. An intelligent lifeform that had a soul but couldn't use soul energy, relied on external formations or metallic bodies for growth, and...
”...” He wanted to apologize but...would that be insensitive? In the end, he decided against it and that he would make it up to her in the future somehow.
Looking at Damian, he couldn't help but smile. He waved his hand, a white flame engulfed Damian. Shockingly, Damian didn't even utter a sound. He clenched his teeth and hoped for the best.
This white flame engulfed him and suffused his body with an uncanny and powerful force. This force was lifeforce. The wounds on his body healed instantly. As it continued to wash over his body, the lifeforce entrenched in his bones, blood, heart, brain, and muscles. Before long, his body had received a baptism of lifeforce.
It was brief, but this single action would place him as invincible to all those beneath the Qi Unification Realm.
The flame dissipated leaving only a wide-eyed and shocked Damian. His eyes not only contained disbelief, but when he looked at Yan Zaizen, they were filled with reverence and respect.
”You can call that the first gift of our relationship.” Seeing how he'll have to wing this master role, he decided to bless Damian with good fortune.
However, just as he was about to continue speaking, his eyes flickered briefly. ”Oh? Maybe...I think two will do.”
”Master?” Confused by Yan Zaizen's sudden words, Damian looked at Yan Zaizen expectantly. From those words, he felt that a second gift will be bestowed. Currently, he felt an exceptionally powerful force surging in his body, and it nearly intoxicated him.
However, Yan Zaizen chuckled and said, ”Let's meet your Junior Sister.” He waved his hand to produce a sword. This sword was a low-grade, sky-rank armament. It floated silently beside Damian.
He was a little confused by all these magical things and odd words, ”Junior Sister?”
”Your second gift. Step on it. I'm not a patient one.” With a smile, he calmly said. His eyes radiating a light of dignity and profound power.
Damian nodded, stepping on the sword, further exhibiting his astonishing decisiveness. The sword lifted slightly and Damian felt his balance break, but a soft light emitted from the sword that propped him up. Stabilizing himself, his eyes grew even more excited.
”A flying sword?!” He had heard of these armaments. They were like sword-shaped skyships. However, they only held one or two people. They were exceptionally expensive and only top-tier cultivators had them.
Even Origin Core Realm experts could only drool at this, at least...that's the rumor.
”Mhm. Your third gift will be given with the third gift of your Junior Sister. Let's go.” He floated without warning and flew. The sword followed behind by his will. For now, Damian couldn't control a sky-rank armament, even if it was a miniature skyship.
