Chapter 762: Only Knowledge? (2/2)
Heavin then asked something else.
”By the way, what is your Soul Cultivation Realm at the moment? Or better yet, is your Soul Cultivation really a cultivation technique? Could it be that this is some kind of evolution you went through?”
Fura looked into the knowledge she received from the Black Orb and then nodded.
”I do have Realms... or at least I think I do. From what I can understand from this new knowledge, I'm in the Energy Fusion Realm. This is a realm where my soul can assimilate any kind of energy and transform it into this black energy that you just saw. My soul then uses this black energy to power my Mental Energy.”
Heavin's eyes lit up after hearing that. At the very least, he hadn't reached a similar level. Still, he could see some light at the end of the tunnel.
”I understand. However, I don't know what this name represents. Can you tell me which position this Energy Fusion is in the path of Soul Cultivation?”
Fura pondered for a bit more and then nodded.
”It's the sixth realm.”
”I knew it.”
Liriu and Fura were taken aback.
”What are you talking about?”
Heavin smiled as he explained.
”Oh! It's nothing much. Remember that I was able to shatter your Mental Energy attack? That's because I'm several times more experienced with it than you are. However, I'm still in the Fifth Realm. Against absolute power, there is little that experience can do. If you were too far ahead of me in Soul Cultivation, then I would have been powerless. Since I won, then you weren't that far ahead from me.”
Fura had to admit that Heavin was right.
'Well, that' considering that he's telling the truth, though.'
Heavin continued as he took the Dark Water outside of his Spatial Ring. Of course, he made sure it wouldn't touch the Black Sphere.
”Does your knowledge have anything to tell about this thing?”
Fura looked at the Dark Water for a moment before saying.
”Can't you tell? This is also the Fused Elements.”
Heavin and Liriu were taken aback.
”Are you sure? This thing swallows Mental Energy like a black hole! Neither your or our friends' Fused Elements have this power.”
Fura shook her head as she said.
”I see... It's most likely because my Soul Cultivation Realm is higher than yours. Or perhaps because it is different. In any case, this Black Water is definitely Fused Elements. However, this is on a completely different level. As I mentioned before, my Fused Elements is made with Mental Energy. This Black Water is definitely the same thing. The previous owner's Mental Energy is still inside, and it's that same Mental Energy that is swallowing yours. It's like an automatic defense mechanism.”
Heavin narrowed his eyes as he muttered.
”Mental Energy...”
Suddenly, an idea popped into Heavin's mind.
”Oh! Could it be...”
He then took a bit of the Dark Water out and allowed it to be absorbed by the Black Sphere. As expected, the Black Sphere took it all inside.
”What are you trying to do?” asked Liriu and Fura with a puzzled expression. Even with the new knowledge, Fura also didn't know what the Black Sphere was.
Heavin then smiled as he said.
”Send your own strands of Mental Energy inside, and you will understand.”
Liriu and Fura did that when they finally saw what was there.
”Are those... memories?”
Heavin nodded.
”Now you know where the knowledge Fura got came from. However, this Black Sphere had some other purpose as well.”
”Purpose, what kind of purpose?”
Heavin then looked at Fura before saying.
”Was it really only giving you knowledge? Or was it trying to make you do something else? If we haven't arrived in this place, would you continue to receive more 'knowledge?' In the end, would you still be you?”
Fura felt a chill on her back when she heard that question.
