Chapter 442 - 442: Eternal Darkness. (1/2)

In the middle of the night, Theo lay with his eyes open beside Shina for a long time. Even now he still couldn't believe what Shina and he had done, and he still didn't understand how Shina was able to sleep soundly after what she and he did. When Theo turned and saw Shina's sleeping face that was always incredibly adorable while she slept, he kissed Shina on the forehead and decided to sleep too.

The next morning, Theo and the rest went through the same routine after breakfast, drinking the diluted phoenix blood. At this time it was the third dose they took and everyone had managed to contract the phoenix lineage. The one that most showed improvement in the phoenix lineage was Zaira. Of course, Theo knew that this was due to the ”duo cultivation” that the two had and that strange event occurred.

”Theo, look!” Zaira said with a graceful smile filled with happiness. She was on fire, looking like a reincarnation of a phoenix itself.

”Oh, it looks very beautiful,” Theo said with an air of surprise, smiling back at her.

”Beautiful? Mmm, do I not look powerful?” Zaira was happy with what he said but still thought it should look like she was giving off a powerful aura.

”Very,” Theo laughed, thinking she was cute.

Zaira blinked innocently and became happy in her heart.

The second to have improvements in the phoenix lineage was Little Emma. Theo imagined that this happened because she had an affinity for fire and also for magma which made her body adapt to the lineage better than the other girls.

One of the things that made Theo thoughtful, trying to find a solution, was that although Aomi converted her energy into spiritual mana, she did not have a Noble Spirit. Although she was still strong, with a Noble Spirit she would be much stronger still. It was then that he thought about getting the answer from Rya and that's how he managed to find a way to get Aomi to get a Noble Spirit.

”Do you need anything, Theo?” Aomi, who was doing some exercises, felt Theo's gaze and asked with doubt.

”Mm, if I say I have a way to allow you to get a Noble Spirit, but you would go through a lot of pain in the process, what would you think about it?” Theo walked over to her and asked.

”This...” Aomi thought carefully. She wasn't sure about that; she wasn't very familiar with Noble Spirits. Because of that fact, she didn't feel any loss from not having one. However, she already heard a little about the Noble Spirits and knew they were very useful.

”Yes, I would be willing,” Aomi responded with enthusiasm. She was not afraid of pain; she suffered a lot when she was isolated and hunted by her own species, and if she is going to suffer but earn something good in return, she was willing!

”Are you sure?” Seeing her nod in agreement, Theo picked out something from the system.

_ _

· 80,000,000 System Points have been spent.

· Obtained: [Seed of the Noble Spirit of Earth]

· Note: The Noble Spirit that will be born from this seed changes in favor of the cultivator that merges with it.

”What is it?” Aomi pointed to Theo's palm, which now held the [Seed of the Noble Spirit of Earth]. It was only the size of a bean.

”This is what I was talking about,” Theo explained, ”This is called [Seed of the Noble Spirit of Earth]. Using this, you will have the opportunity to awaken a Noble Spirit. However, as I warned you before, you will feel pain in the process. In addition, it takes almost 1 month until the seed takes root and the Noble Spirit is born.”

After he finished speaking, Theo handed the [Seed of the Noble Spirit of Earth] to Aomi.

All the detailed information that Theo got by asking Rya he explained to Aomi. First, Aomi needed to be in a state of meditation, sitting with her legs crossed and meditating while holding the [Seed of the Noble Spirit of Earth]. After creating a bond, she would need to pour a drop of her blood on the top of the seed, and then the process of fusion with the [Seed of the Noble Spirit of Earth] would begin and it is exactly in that fusion process that Aomi would have to go through a lot of pain when merging with the seed.

”Urghhh!”

Even a brave woman like Aomi couldn't help muttering in pain the moment she started to merge with the [Seed of the Noble Spirit of Earth]. In the process, the seed seemed to come to life when it came into contact with Aomi's blood and began to glow. A spiral-shaped vortex of the purest spiritual mana formed on top of Aomi's head. All of the ambient spiritual mana was being absorbed by Aomi and the seed. Theo stood nearby waiting. He was ready to use his healing ability if necessary.

An hour later, Aomi was dripping sweat and breathing heavily. She felt exhausted, but still she had a smile formed on her face. She could see that something in the center of her divine sea was creating life in the form of a small planet.

”Keep meditating,” Theo smiled at her. ”I'm looking forward to the birth of your Noble Spirit.”
