Chapter 1063: Evolution (1/2)

”So, that's the problem. Do you think you can do anything about it, Father?” asked Alex while sitting in the courtyard and faced the garden.

Rilt sat next to him while sipping his tea and nodded with a complicated expression. ”I see. First of all, there are several problems. The people might think that the Spirit Crown is counterfeit and you are just a stand figure that Eulja needs. That's why they will think that we, the Six Elemental Gods, push you into this position.

”Secondly, we need to check whether your Spirit Crown has a side effect or not. Even I don't entirely understand your Spirit Crown. Still, I believe we can work on it for two years.”

”Yes. That's my plan.” Alex nodded in agreement.

”If the ability is better than the original Spirit Crown, that can be good and bad at the same time. After all, if the upgraded ability doesn't resemble that of the Spirit Crown, they will realize that it's not the Spirit Crown.”

”There is nothing I can do.” Alex sighed. ”I thought that it would be the best time to meet Alaya and formed a contract considering…”

”That Julian…Haiz. No one knew what he saw because he always kept it alone.” Rilt sighed while pointing at the garden. ”Anyway, stand there first. Let's proceed to your two other abilities first, Sharing and Enhancement. I will explain in detail first.”

Alex nodded as both of them stood up, walked to the garden, and faced each other.

”Sharing is the ability to channel or share your power to anything. This won't be limited to other people, but it's also for your Martial Techniques. For example, if you use the Blossom to your Martial Art, only Sharing allows you to do something like that. I don't know why it's so complicated, but with the Spirit Crown being so strong, there must be several limitations that I don't know.”

Alex nodded. ”I know. I have tried channeling my power to my Martial Arts, but all of them failed miserably.”

”Exactly. I will be teaching you how to do it.” He smiled. ”Summon your Spirit Crown.”

Alex closed his eyes for a second as the evolved Spirit Crown appeared above his head.

”…Such a fearsome Life and Death Energy. Let me see your third eye.”

Alex slightly nodded his head as suddenly a kind of vertical eye socket appeared on his forehead before slowly revealing Alex's Samsara Eye.

”You have no problem in hiding it, right?”

”Yes.”

”I see. If that is the case, come over here and close that eye again.”

Alex followed his instruction and walked closer to Rilt.

Rilt stretched his hand, asking him to hold his hand.

Alex didn't think much of it and reached Rilt's hand.

”Nature Energy will constantly flow. Only those who have the necessary elements can control it. The exception is the Spirit Crown. It absorbs the Nature Energy from the surroundings, turning it into its energy. The flowing process is similar but different from the Blossom, where it only requires you to release it all.

”You need to understand the nature in your surroundings because it will surely clash with the Nature Energy in the Spirit Crown. That's why you will need to harmonize with nature in your surroundings, especially your weapons.

”Hence, I am going to make you understand the harmony in Nature and use it to synchronize your Spirit Crown with the surroundings.”

”I understand. What should I do?”

”Before that, I will explain the other one, Enhancement. This is a very powerful ability that can improve your Original Technique. It's like tracing the origin of the flow, including your past. I have heard something about Sword Mastery from Lin Xingzhi, and yeah, it's something similar to that.

”It allows you to gain a deep understanding in an instant and turns it into perfection. There are advantages and disadvantages compared to the Sword Mastery. First, this Enhancement is not restricted to one type of improvement. For example, if you use a sword, you can upgrade a bow technique or even an elemental technique.

”At the same time, the more complex the technique, the longer it will take to comprehend it. There is a time limit for you to understand it. This time limit is a bit different from the normal one because if you are comprehending more than the time limit, you will get a certain side-effect which, trust me, you don't want to have.”

”How long?” asked Alex without hesitation.

”It depends on your limit. As soon as you feel fatigued, it would be best if you stopped. In the past, the Spirit God almost lost himself and went berserk because he passed the time limit.”

”I see. That's not something I want to see.” Alex agreed and thought for a moment. ”In that case, which one are you planning to teach me first? I mean, we are cramming all the training in one go, right?”

”Yes. I think I will teach you the Enhancement first. This way, you can channel your power easier because you have gotten used to this one.”

Alex nodded. ”What should I do then?”

”I don't want to accidentally have you upgraded your own technique since it's only one in a lifetime. That's why I go to the other places to ask the spirits there whether they are willing to be guinea pigs. Of course, it's voluntary. Besides, to be training with you and have their skill upgraded by you is an honor and a bonus, so they readily accepted it.”

”I understand. Before that, I would like to ask them again whether it's okay to do that.”

”Sure.” Rilt nodded with a smile before leaping outside the house. ”Wait here. I will be bringing a spirit here.”

Alex nodded and waited for him.

Rilt took fifteen minutes before he returned with a tree. Yes, a tree. The tree trunk was one meter wide, so it was quite a big one. At the same time, the height reached five meters with so many branches stemmed out of it.

”This is a Tree Spirit.” Rilt put down the tree on the ground.

Alex furrowed his eyebrows when he saw that the tree had enough Spiritual Energy to rival that of a Martial Emperor.

”I don't know its name and other things.” Rilt then patted the tree and said, ”Try to use your skills here. Just show everything.”

The tree released a Spiritual Energy as if responding to Rilt. The tree then shook its body before the green leaves fell to the ground.

Suddenly, the leaves rose to the air and turned into a small doll without any other features such as eyes or anything. Even so, it looked amazing to see it before his own eyes.

After that, the tree extended its roots and pierced all the leaves, showing its accuracy.
