Chapter 637: Learning About True Spirits (1/2)
On their way back, Krune decided to ask what were those True Spirits that Illia talked about.
”Oh! That's right, you didn't know you were part of the True Spirits.”
Illia continued.
”True Spirits are born from Godly Energy itself. Well, that much you probably already know since you are a True Spirit yourself. Other than that, they have an enormous affinity with Godly Energy. Any organization of the Godly Path Realm would love to have them in their ranks. Alas, they are just too, too rare. For example, other than yourself, I only know about a single True Spirit in our Zamaria Planet. His name is Reril, the Sect Master of the Energy Sect, one of our planet's strongest powers.”
Krune was taken aback. However, something told him that the True Spirits aren't the same as the Mortal Realm Wisps. That's because wisps are formed of Spiritual Energy while True Spirits are formed of Godly Energy. Krune believes that both sides probably have their differences.
For example, back in the Mortal Realm, Wisps were extremely common. However, True Spirits are extremely rare in this place. It shows that the formation of a True Spirit Core is very different from the formation of a Wisp one.
Another noticeable difference is the True Spirit's cultivation speed. From what Illia spoke so far, True Spirits seem to have a very easy time cultivating. As for the Wisps, if not for his Myriad Energies Technique, Krune might have died out of lifespan already. No, he most likely would have.
”You said that there is nothing wrong with me having intelligence before the Semi-Divinity Realm. Does that mean that it is normal for True Spirits like me to be intelligent before that?”
Illia nodded.
”Correct. True Spirits are brilliant. From what I found, they can reach the level of an adult's mind by the age of two or three. They are the only existences other than humans to not need cultivation to be sentient. Oh, right! You should stop calling yourself Demon Beast. True Spirits are categorized as a third type of existence. That being said, the Godly Path Realm has Humans, Demon Beasts, and True spirits.”
Krune was taken aback by that. But after thinking about it for a moment, he felt that it made sense.
First of all, Krune always noticed the Wisps' Cores were utterly different from demon beasts. But because they were different from humans too, wisps were put together with Demon Beasts. In this aspect, True Spirits seem to be very similar to wisps.
But it was at this moment that Iem remembered something.
”Wait! Krune's True Spirit Form is Rainbow-Colored. Are all the True Spirits Rainbow-Colored as well? After all, you didn't point out his colors after seeing his forms.”
Illia understood what Iem meant.
”It seems like you got the wrong idea about True Spirits. It's completely normal for True Spirits to be different. Their race comes in several different colors and shapes of ethereal bodies. For example, Krune here looked like a Rainbow-Colored Ball of Energy that also released Rainbow-Colored Ethereal Flame. From what I know, the Sect Master of the Energy Sect has a Blade Shaped Ethereal Body around his True Spirit Core. In the past, there was another True Spirit that had a Rock Ethereal Shape. Anyway, True Spirits are usually different from each other.”
Krune was taken aback. That confirmed his suspicions that Trues Spirits are definitely not the same as Wisps. However, that didn't matter. That's because their different forms are good news for Krune. In the past, when Krune saw Feifei for the first time, he played with her by changing his Ethereal Body's form. That was something extremely easy to do even when he was in the Qi Condensation Realm, let alone now. As long as he changes his shape to something else other than the Wisp Form, he can totally pretend to be a True Spirit.
Of course, Krune will need further investigation once he comes out.
”What else you know about them?”
Illia pondered a bit before saying.
”Hum... It's said that they have a high comprehension of laws, cultivate really fast, and their lifespans before the Divine Path Realm is a lot higher.”
”Higher Life Spans?”
”Yes. Ordinary people have around 60 years to live before the Divine Path Realm. But True Spirits can live over 200 years. It's quite hateful since they have a lot longer to reach the Divine Path Realm while already being faster with cultivation. As you know, life span doubles when you reach the Divine Path Realm, so while humans would have 120 years to live after the Divine Path, True Spirits would have 400!”
Krune couldn't help but be impressed with the difference in this aspect. True Spirits are basically to pole opposite of Wisps. They have everything that the Wisps ever dreamed about. The only thing that Wisps are better is that their numbers are tens of thousands of times higher. There are probably a million wisps for every True Spirit, maybe even more. Well, their intelligence seems to be similar, too, though.
”Oh, right. Let me ask you this. Do True Spirits have Meridians?”
