191 On the way (2/2)

Light Spirit was already expecting him to ask that.

”It was a long time ago. Now, only someone like Cilia would remember that.”

Krune then thought about the Dao Companion thing.

”Was she your wife? As for Taliu, was he your son?”

Light Spirit then answered.

”Sorry, but I don't want to talk about that.”

Krune didn't force the issue, it was evident that something happened with Taliu. If Krune wasn't wrong, he didn't survive. Krune doesn't have a child, but he considers Lakin as one, so he understood that it wasn't his place to ask what happened.

”Leaving that behind, what is that thing about your body being imprisoned ?”

Light Spirit went silent for a little while and then said.

”It is as you heard, my real body is imprisoned at the moment, and I intend to take it back. But there is no point in us discussing it now. After all, it is not like you can do anything with your power. Wait for the day you reach the peak of the Divinity Realm, and then we can talk.”

Krune sweated a little. The peak of the Divinity Realm? Just how long will it take?

Light Spirit then commented.

”Anyway. It is not like you aren't getting anything good for sharing your core with me, so it is a good trade. I'm recovering my power while you are getting to use the Tribulation Lightning.”

Krune had to admit that Light Spirit is right, but he still had more questions, though.

”Can you tell me this time who you were and what happened?”

Light Spirit pondered a bit. There was a time he wanted to talk more. Still, Krune's Spiritual Energy Meridians acted on behalf of someone to send him a warning. So he wasn't able to say anything about the past at that time.

”Well...”

Just as Light Spirit was about to say something, Krune's Elemental Meridians once more acted on their own. Much for Krune's surprise. This is the second time it happened just when Light Spirit was about to talk. Light Spirit knew that it was the same warning from back then and said.

”Your IQ is very high, so you probably noticed this time, right?”

Indeed, Krune might have low EQ, but his intelligence is definitely not the same. For his Meridians to act by themselves two times and exactly when Light Spirit was talking. It was evident that they were the reason that Light Spirit couldn't say anything.

But that made Krune somewhat alarmed. Does that mean that his meridians are under the control of someone else?

”This... Are they not my meridians?”

Light Spirit then said.

”They are, it's just that they are also acting as an intermediate between me and whoever wants me to not say anything. Try to force them to calm down. At your level at the moment, I don't believe that your meridians will answer to anyone else's call.”

Krune tried to do as Light Spirit said, and sure enough, Krune soon took back the control of his Meridians. It made Krune sigh in relief. At least, it seems like he can prevent them from obeying the other part.

”It is as you said. As soon as I tried to take the control back, they immediately answered my call.”

Light Spirit wasn't surprised, though.

”I can tell you this much. The other side is as strong as I was back then. So I can't simply ignore his existence. Anyway, it is not like whatever happened back then would change anything for you now. When the time comes, I believe that the other part will tell you of his own volution. After all, you probably noticed no malicious intention, right?”

Krune nodded. When he tried to take control of his meridians back, he felt like the other part to be somewhat... gentle. As if it was a good thing. Still, Krune couldn't help but think about who it was. It was then that he had an idea.

”Someone who can control my Elemental Meridians from a distance as long as I allow it. Who else could it be if not the creator of the Myriad Energies Technique?”

Light Spirit laughed.

”Indeed. I also reached the same conclusion as you a long time ago.”
