190 More Questions. (1/2)

”Hmph! Is that how you treat your Dao Companion? Trying to hide your presence so that I can't tell that it was you?”

Light Spirit knew that it was a trap for him to fall, but he couldn't let Cilia open her mouth.

”Sigh. That was a long time ago, you know very well that we aren't as we were before anymore.

Cilia went silent for a few seconds.

”What happened with our Taliu?”

That was the reason that Light Spirit didn't want to appear, but he knew that he should give her an answer now.

”He failed.”

Krune felt like the voice inside the tower trembled a little.

”I see... Was it because-”

Before she could finish her question, Light Spirit cut her.

”Yes, it was.”

Cilia went silent again and then said.

”Anyway, let's go back to business. What happened to you?”

Light Spirit then answered.

”I was imprisoned, and my Tribulation Lightning power stolen. It is now used by the old villainous heavens as a trial for those who cultivate.”

Cilia didn't seem surprised by that.

”I see, just as I expected. How come you would allow it to be used for something like that? Back then, you were the only one able to use it, after all.

Light Spirit confirmed and then asked.

”What about you? What are you doing inside this tower? Also, how come you are here in the Divine Path Sect?”

Cilia then said.

”My body was destroyed. This tower is what prevents my soul from dissipating. As for the Divine Path Sect, I made a deal with its founder, so I'm acting as a protector of some sort.”

Light Spirit was taken aback.

”Acting as protector? Does it mean that you recovered your power?!”

Cilia answered.

”Not really. I do have the power to protect this Sect, but I'm not even close to what I was in the past. Also, it is not that I recovered it, but that I was able to prevent some of it from dissipating.”

Light Spirit immediately got disappointed.

”I see... Still, that is also good. If you are strong enough to protect a Sect of this size, you probably have a long time ahead of you.”

”By the way. What is the deal that you made with the founder of this Sect?”

Cilia sighed after hearing that.

”I need a body, but to find one compatible with my Soul is as hard as finding a specific drop of water in the ocean.”

It was then that Cilia noticed something.

”Wait! Since you also lost your body, you should be in the same situation as me. How come you are sharing this kid's body? Is his body compatible with you?”

Krune heard that and felt alarmed, but right after, Light Spirit started to laugh.

”Hahaha! Compatible? Are you kidding me? Put some effort there and look at what race he is from before saying such baseless things.”

”What?! A wisp?!”

Cilia sighed and said.

”Now, I understand. Indeed, it would be impossible for someone like you to ever posses a wisp body. Still, what are you doing there? How did you enter someone else's core?”

Light Spirit said.

”You are looking down on me way too much. Did you forget who I am? Tribulation Lightning is my power, and I can use it for several other things other than just attacking.”

Cilia felt like she was enlightened!

”Haha! You scoundrel! Only you would try something as crazy as using Tribulation Lightning Source to hold your soul. I'm even more impressed that you didn't die during the process. Still, why did you chose a wisp? That makes no sense.”

Light Spirit then sighed.

”It's not like I could choose, you know? You just said it yourself, trying to use my Tribulation Lightning Source to hold my soul was a dangerous attempt. After I escaped my imprisonment, I only had time to use the old villainous heavens' Tribulation Lightning power to scan those who were going through their Heavenly Tribulation. Then I selected someone who had low cultivation to prevent myself from being detected by the target. In the end, Krune was the lucky one!”

Krune had heard before from Light Spirit that he was selected by coincidence, and it seemed that it was really the case.

Cilian then asked.

”Do you have a way to recover?”

Light Spirit immediately answered with confidence.

”Yes! In fact, I have already recovered a tiny bit of my power. But my rate of recovering is determined according to Krune's cultivation level. The higher his realm, the faster my rate of recovery will be. Still, I'm not sure when I can leave his body by myself. But I'm different from you, I lost my body, but it hasn't been destroyed. It is still there, locked by this universe heavens, and I will do everything to take it back!”
