Unable to use his i felt by the de for hiround path Which ended three and a half hours later in a rocky shelter, whose floor and roof were covered in stalagmites and stalactites

The only sound that resounded in this underground pocket, was that of the droplets of water that dripped fro that the cave was uninhabited

Once sure that no one would find his, and placed it at the top of one of the thinnest stalag, but the one that worked as the connection between the outside universe, and the pocket diroup were currently in

After one last look at his surroundings, Daniel entered the ring

When he reappeared, he was standing in front of a house larger than the one he had left for Virgil It was clear that his mute student had used his comprehension of wood essence to expand the house, and uests

Aside fory, Daniel was also worried about Virgil Not worried that so would happen to him while he cultivated, but that he would feel alone if he closed himself into cultivation for months at a tiil was not alone, that he felt reassured

He did not want to waste tiroup how they had arrived there, so he decided to leave a il in the form of sound essence which would travel directly into his ears but before he could do that, he heard a voice come from behind hie were carrying numerous branches froil, all the way to the house

As soon as the word left her il dashed out of his small house, and approached Daniel at a speed that only a cultivator at the peak of the first stage of ian towill be alright You will only have to spend some time with them while I cultivate I need you to be kind to them, and if you can, teach the his head

Virgil estures, which caused Daniel's caler, but I will save theet to keep cultivating”

Whether it was Daniel's words, or Virgil's hand signs, they were both in a language that was foreign to Hannah's group So as soon as they notice the two stop talking, Hannah approached the on? Where are we?”

Daniel's time was very liil's companions for the next months, he could not simply disappear now that they had spotted hi what had lead them into his pocket dimension, Daniel made a desk and a chair appear in front of him On the desk, were numerous papers and a pen with ink next to it

Without wasting aon the sheets of paper

What he riting was a simple cultivation method and explanation on the e in which he wrote it, was the one that Hannah and her group spoke After he finished, he handed the few pages to Hannah and George, and after saying ”You will understand once you follow that ht

When he reappeared, he was hundreds of kiloil's wooden house

He needed quietness and to not be disturbed, so he took a ss, and locked it in the space right above his head He then removed the limitation on the sphere's pohich once left free to move outwards, turned into an avalanche of stone and dirt

This went on for a few minutes, until the area which was previously occupied by Daniel and a single sphere of earth essence, had turned into a small mountain with a pocket of air inside where Daniel resided

Finally alone, Daniel took one of the essence geround in the lotus position

He was perfectly aware of the fact that cultivating with one of these gems would usually kill somebody at his level of cultivation, but he was also sure that he would never be able to reach the high i with crystals So after activating 'Ti a time sphere that would increase the speed of time by ten tiem in his ele It didn't take long before soan to force its way into Daniel's veins, arteries, flesh, and skin

About a em, Daniel had already reached his lieh every centi his skin to crawl, and for a lancinating pain to cover every bit of his body

It wasn't long before his skin began to give up, and the pores on the surface joined into nurew in size and turned into large bloody wounds

The sa on the inside Where his ans threatened to stop working at any given , or that would ain, was the endless strea with his own immortal essence

Unfortunately, the increased amount of immortal essence that he produced thanks to the time sphere and 'Time is Precious', was only barely able to keep his body fro apart The entire process was so painful, that had he not cultivated his mind power at the level it currently was, he would have passed out onlyit

”AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHH-AAAAAHH!”

The wounds on his body grew in depth as well as in length, and to a point where his bones could be seen froles

However, while this pure torture went on, and Daniel was struggling to keep his focus on preventing his body froem poured into him A second and yet completely different pain came from the depths of his mind

As soon as Daniel felt this fa one of his left hand near his belly

His fingers then pierced into the largest of the wounds on his body, and reached for his stomach

Once he touched his stoernails turned into sharp razors which easily cut all of its external layers

Fro inside his own body, while at the saraine he had ever felt He gritted his teeth in agony for a few ers reached what he was looking for

He immediately eainst one of the cave's walls, then focused on healing his body from any injury

It only took seconds for all of the wounds to close, but on Daniel face, no trace of happiness could be seen

”Once a snake” ers on his teure out of his ain take control over Daniel's body by devouring hishi effects of the essence gem But thanks to Daniel's decisiveness, he had been able to react in tiem before Sewah could successfully take control of his body

Daniel observed the enraged finger-sized Sewah that was pinched in between his fingers He was looking at hi insults, but no sound came out of his mouth due to the incredibly weakened state he was in

A few ideas on how he could hurt Sewah appeared in Daniel's mind, but ultimately, he knew that there was no way for hi the Karmic System So he looked at him quietly instead

Unfortunately, nohe could do but to injure Sewah's ht as he was about to put him back into his mind and follow that plan, a fist-sized rock fell from the roof of the cave

A faint srabbed this rock, and infused it with his immortal essence

This immortal essence did not dissipate, and instead turned into the most basic formation in existence A formation which Daniel had learned to create the very day he had decided that the world of forht before the formation was completed, Daniel put Sewah into the small stone Then, before he could leave, he injected the for it into a prison of mental power that Sewah, in that state, would never be able to leave

Satisfied by this idea, Daniel threw the rock aside, and picked the essence gem back up He then looked at it with a fair a it back into his ain
