Chapter 22 - Time to leave. (2/2)
”Ruik is right, I hope that before I get strong enough to one day leave the planet, all of you have already grown strong enough to take your humans form. Who knows? I might even bring you with me when the time comes!”
After hearing that, a look of determination appeared on Ruik's eyes. Leave the planet! He never thought about such a possibility, but with this heaven defying wisp, maybe, just maybe, he might be able to.
Lakin was also shining brilliantly, he was obvious hyped out, he will absolutely breakthrough the Foundation Establishment, no mater what!
As for the Lizard Dragons, even their big brother didn't understand the 'leaving the planet' thing, but by looking at the situation, it seems like something very good, so he told his siblings that they should try very hard too, he will ask Lakin about what living the planet means later.
Krune decided that he would give Lakin the authority to pass the Myriad Energies technique forward, but before doing that the other part must sign a blood contract stating that if he or she tried to spread this technique, they would die, and he must trust them first before doing that. Lakin is also a wisp, wisps are very intelligent by nature, and with Krune's guidance, there isn't much people or beasts out there who can fool him.
Fortunately, Krune had quite a few blood contracts with him, he came to understand that blood contracts are very common outside.
”Ruik, I will pass you my Myriad Energies Technique too, but I will be honest, I don't know how effective it is for demon beasts, but if you are able to create my Spiritual Energy Meridians, it should boost both your cultivation speed and you battle prowess tremendously, make sure to not spread it outside, it might bring you a calamity.”
”Also, although I know that any race is able to cultivate my technique, they can't learn it as easy as a wisp, the wisps sensitivity for spiritual energy is at a level that very few races might compare, so do not rush it, you are different from us, you have a very long life span ahead, you can take your time understanding it. If you have any doubts, you can ask Lakin, I passed all my experiences to him, he will be able to answer your questions as long as it is something that me or him have gone through before.”
Ruik looked puzzled at Krune, he knows that cultivation technique, he had heard before that this is the most ordinary cultivation technique outside, he even knows a few beasts that have a copy of it right here in the Katiu forest, what is good about it? Krune explained to him that he found out that the cultivation technique was not complete, it's real use wasn't supposed to be able to form just nine Pseudo Energy Meridians, but to form real Spiritual Energy Meridians instead, he explained to him how marvelous the Spiritual Energy Meridians are, by the end, Ruik was astonished, is there such a heaven defying cultivation technique? Ruik looked ecstatic, Krune wasn't going to make him sign the blood contract, he trusted Ruik, but to his surprise, Ruik demanded a blood contract, not that he will slip his tongue, but that the blood contract would also prevent other forms of forcefully taking the information from him.
Krune then passed Ruik a blood contract for him to write the terms himself, Ruik was indeed a demon beast, he was very ruthless in the terms of the contract about spreading the cultivation technique without permission.
”Wasn't it a little bit exaggerated? I trust you, you know?”
Ruik simply snorted
”A male has indeed to keep his words, this is just a security measure.”
He then took a copy of the Myriad Energies Technique and went back to his nest to start comprehend it.
Krune turned to Lakin and asked him to follow, when they reached outside, looked back at him tenderly.
”Lakin, you are young but you can already defend yourself, you are also a wisp, we are looked down all the time, but this is not bad, it is because I have always been looked down upon that I achieved what I did, this is not your defect, this is yours, no, this is our, the wisps, strength! Never forget that.”
Lakin answered dutifully.
”Yes, master!”
Krune continued
”As a wisp you have a high intelligence, so you will help the Lizard Dragons to protect themselves, as for Ruik, he will help you if there is a need for it, behind that prideful look of him there is a soft heart, just don't let him know that I told you that, he will never admit it.”
Krune and Lakin laughed at the comment.
”Be at easy, master, I won't let him find out about that.”
Krune nodded, he then turned back to his wisp form, he then approached Lakin until their cores touched each other, it was quite a beautiful scene, when the energies of those spiritual energy bodies touched each other, they gave of a very warm feeling, Lakin felt puzzled though.
”Master?”
Krune simply said
”You are my disciple, also, I don't have parents, just like you, but I do consider you as my son as well, as long as I'm alive, master will always support you.”
Lakin felt like he wanted to cry, but since he is a wisp, he doesn't have eyes or tears to speak of, he only felt extremely touched. He could only thought the he will absolutely not disappoint his master, no, his father!
Krune looked back at him and went back to his human form, he is trying to stay as long as possible in this form to get used to it.
”Let's go back, I will use this night to tell you everything I understand about my Myriad Energies Technique and my experiences with it, later, if Ruik ask, try to help him too.”
Lakin agreed and they came back to the Spiritual Vein Lake, this will be the last night with his master for a very long time, he has to cherish it.
The next morning, Krune left.
Destination: Kaley City!
