Chapter 359 True Loyalty Part 2 of 2 (2/2)

The earthquake lasted for only a few seconds, and ended the moment the sword shrunk to the size of a normal sword, and dashed in the direction of Gai'ha's hand It appeared that this sword had a mind of its own, and since Gai'ha had arrived, it had wanted to be with her

The rip around the handle, and felt its power coursed through her body A power too strong to control Unbearable winds lifted the dirt froht of the observing cultivators

Inside Gai'ha's mind, a million years worth of uishable pictures, and while she wasn't able to see everything clearly, she was able to see a few major events

In her mind, appeared theto allow her spirit to limit the potential of her body, had separated herself from it, and left it into a sword While her objective was to sih ki alone, she had inadvertently invented a method to create spiritual weapons A method which only she had ever known, and kept a secret until the time of her death

What this woman had discovered at the moment of her death, was that she had never been able to create a method to cultivate the ki Not like her successors had She had split her spirit into two, and left theportion of her spirit hadof these two unbalanced powers, had created an innate essence that was never seen before A power that, her descendents, would end up calling Aura

Alesia, worried about her friend, gave up on her ascension, and teleported next to her Gai'ha appeared to be in some sort of trance, and from her expression, Alesia could see that whatever was contained within the sword, was having a devastating effect on her psyche So, in a desperate atteain her senses, she put her hands on Gai'ha's shoulders, and shouted, ”WAKE UP!”

The moment Alesia touched Gai'ha's shoulders, she felt the spirit of the sword invade her body, and consuht as she was sure she would die soon She felt a sudden and yet fae in pohich increased her production of iht back the invasive spirit

Despite the devastating effects on her body, Alesia's state of hts were clear and co in her body The sheer idea that Daniel could have been close to her gave her an indescribable feeling of cal else, forced her into entering the second stage of her ascension

These events were covered by the sandstors only to stop an hour later

When the sand dissipated, it uncovered the two figures of Gai'ha and Alesia

Gai'ha was looking at the sword, which now contained a portion of her own soul which she had involuntarily exchanged for a portion of the knowledge of the first leader of the Doe to which she would be able to access, after becoer The spiritual sword allowed itself to be wielded by Gai'ha, and appeared to be ready to eradicate the spirit of anyone that dared to lay a finger on her

Alesia's situation was nowhere less unique A single look at her was enough to know that her anatoed drastically The reason for that, was because her body kept changing At some point, her hair would become as white as snow, and her body would becohost which eht after, her body would go back to its physical state, and her hair would turn bright red E pure ki

When she had touched Gai'ha, the sword had seen that action as a threat to her, and as a result, had tried to eradicate her spirit However, right at that roup syste eradicated, her ki and spirit had been separated, and as a result of her ascension, she had gained full control of both of them The presence of spiritual essence or ki in her body was now entirely up to her, and if she wished to, she could be more of a ki warrior than any elite member of the Dominion of the War God, or more of a spiritual warrior than any member of the Spiritual faction

As she faes in her body, she quickly realized that, if she wanted, she could have ed her spirit and body back, or control the proportion of each power to become an aura cultivator, just like Gai'ha
