236 Fifteen Profound Truths (1/2)
Near the top of the Waterfall of Insight, Elizabeth's eyes snapped open. She indulged in a momentary smirk of victory before falling all the way down to the bottom.
At the base of the waterfall, Elizabeth gently touched the surface of the waterfall and the entire ten-kilometer tall construct instantly stopped. With its surface now calm, Elizabeth could see her reflection in the water with mirror-like clarity.
She touched the waterfall again, and the water began flowing in reverse; defying gravity to erupt at the top like a geyser.

After thoroughly savoring in the complacent smile that had graced her face, Elizabeth thought, 'Alright, I've completed the Water and Death Substations. Where should I go now?'
She looked at the Time and Space Substations that were right next to each other and continued her train of thought, 'I really should increase my Understanding of Time and Space as soon as possible. That Fragmented Transcendent Time Affinity of my is going to waste…'
Then she turned to the Spacetime and Blazebreeze Substations, 'But maybe I should first increase my Understanding of Fusion Energies. God only knows how overpowered I'd be after learning a Profound Truth of one of them.'
Her heart bled as she turned to the Elemental Energy Substations for Energies she had yet to even begin cultivating and thought, 'I could also start training on the remaining Energies I've yet to start cultivating. Not only would I get a shit-load of new Innate Skills, but it may also broaden my horizons and make cultivating the Time and Chaos easier.'
Ashen-faced, Elizabeth turned for the last time to spot the Secondary Occupational Substations, 'There also these… these fucking Secondary Occupations.'
”Hmm,” she groaned before quietly muttering, ”I should save the Secondary Occupational Substations for last. I'll earn as many Tickets from doing the other Substations and then figure out how to divide my time in the Meditation, Practice, and Challenge Chambers.”
Eventually, Elizabeth began walking towards another open door in the round room. Her destination was the Ice Substation Trail.
'First, let's clear Ice and Fire,' she decided.
She continued, 'With the Book of Ice and Fire they should be relatively easy to clear; especially after learning a Profound Truth of Water. Then I'll clear all the other Elemental Energies. They should be simpler to improve on than Origin Energies, after all. Origin Energies after that, excluding Chaos, as that's on a whole other level. Fusion Energies penultimately followed lastly by Chaos.'

It had been about a week since Tristan had carried out the mission to eradicate the Yinship Sect with Klaus Kinsterling. After getting his revenge, Tristan had returned to the Beach Resort in Japan and supervised the training of Elizabeth's Mage Apprentices while cultivating his foundation and enchantment abilities.
Amidst his current cultivating session within the Supreme Duality Spirit Vein Arrays, Tristan had to stop abruptly as the calm he had enjoyed for the last couple of days was broken.
'This energy signature… Is someone entering the Spirit Realm?' he thought.
However, before he could even leave the room and take a look for the source of the energy spike, Tristan stopped again.
'Another one?!' He rose a brow in skepticism, 'Are there two people breaking through at the same time?'
”Ha! Slow cow, you never stood a chance against me,” A childish male voice chirped.
”Yeah… your body is like five times smaller than mine,” a timid female voice quietly retorted, ”Obviously you'd form your Spirit Core faster.”
When he finally made it outside, Tristan watched with as much curiosity as the Mage Apprentices around him as Elizabeth's two Tamed Beasts argued with each other.
Assuming he wasn't using his Shapeshifting Skill, Knight looked to have grown to nearly four feet tall. His feathers looked even more like metal than before, giving a crisp reflection of sunlight which juxtaposed menacingly with its predominantly purple coloration. The gold markings now glowed dimly even without the direct input of his True Qi and two distinct markings ran down the length below his eyes.
As for Viktoriya, while her size did not change, the spotted grey pattern Elizabeth last saw end at the base of her ears now ran down half the length of her body.
”You know, we could always settle this the old fashioned way,” Knight intoned dangerously.
”You want to fight?” Viktoriya quietly, yet resolutely, asked.
Detecting the rising levels of True Qi in the immediate vicinity, Tristan strictly said, ”If you're going to fight, do it away from here. Any random rouge attack from either of you would probably kill Master's Apprentices.”
”We know,” Knight and Viktoriya said at the same time.
They wordlessly flew several kilometers into the beach before engaging in an all-out brawl. The fight more so helped them consolidate their recently advanced Cultivation Bases and get used to their new abilities and True Qi, than it did involve mortal combat.
